times MEDALS
WILL BE GIVEN
C|TY'S bRAVEST
Committee Sits Today to Award
Trophies to Fireman and
Policeman.

A committee of representative
Neutrality-suspicious. will meet at the Dis
trict building this afternoon to award
gold medals to the National Capitals
bravest fireman and policeman.
The medals will be provided by The
Washington Times. which last year
maugurated the plan Of rewarding
conspicuously brave men in the two
departments at the end OF every year.
Last year the police medal. which
bears the name of Americas N. Grip
pen, a policeman who sacrificed his
life in the line OF duty many years ago,
was awarded to Detective Sergeant
Arthur Scrivener who wears 1t on
state occasions. The fireman's medal
was awarded to Private Frank Neu-
man, of No. 3 Truck Company, who
is now employed in the Mail Bag Re-
fire department last summer.
The fireman's medal bears the name
of Giles-Griffin. these being the names
of two heroic fire fighters who lost
their lives in the line OF duty in the
'Markethouse Fire" about fifteen
years ago.
This year, as last, and for all the
years to come, the gold medals be-
come the personal property Of the re-
cipients. Orders have already been
given for the two medals to be award
ed today, and which will be presented
at the District building on the morn
ing of January 8.
This afternoon Fire Chief George
Watson, and Acting Chief of Police
Sullivan will furnish the judges with
a record Of all the Communications for
bravery and heroic performance of
duty in their respective departments.
The awards will be based solely upon
the concentrations.
Since The Times announced it's in
tention of furnishing these medals
every year, somewhat stringent rules
have been made regarding commnda-
tons In the two department, with the
result that very few men win ex-
ceptional words of praise in writing.
The idea of this was to make as
surance doubly sure that the re-
cipients of the medals were honest.

hearty Endorsement Of President

ference with Col. Charles r. Forbes.

sion No public statement Of the dis

The conference tomorrow will take

is approved, will institute classes at
each hospital for those wounded
veterans able to walk. 1t Is pointed
out that this procedure would give
them valuable training during the
period of their disability, instead OF
the basket and wicket work they now
perform.
Under this plan. $4,000 incapaci-

would apply to more than 400, 600
men, all of whom registered for vo-
cational training.

Gold Fish Annoying
Learned ENJOYS At
Arms Parley
BY international News Service.

A number of distinguished
gold fish in Washington are get
ting altogether too noisy. Today
those in the famous Aztec foun-
tain Of the Pan-American Union
were accused of disturbing the
secret deliberations of the arms
conference.
The secret sessions are held
behind closed doors in a part of
the building accessible only to
specially authorized persons, but
some of the officious underlings
nevertheless fear the delegates
may be annoyed.
"Sh, gentlemen! Not so loud,
pleasep said one today to a
group Of newspapermen waiting
in the inner court for the dele
gates to emerge and tell them
whether Mr.. Balfour and M. Sar-
raut actually came to blows on
the submarine question.
A secret service man with a
merry eye and a Celtic cast of
countenance overheard the I'M
derling and apparently was much
impressed. He motioned toward
the pool where speckled beauties
from Latin-American waters were
disporting themselves.
"I'll tell them gold fish to stop
swimmin, sir" he said severely.

BADNESS IN CONGRESS-.

You tell us, Bill, that "the psy-
biologists OF the Einstein type are
sure that politics and statesman
ship are the main causes Of bald
ness with men In public life." Per-
haps the cause behind these causes
is too much hairsplitting. ~ our
friends, the BARRIERS, say that this
causes the hair TO fall out.
And II Congresswomen do become
baldheaded, won't it be moro logical
to suppose that the cause will be,
not political wirepulling, but politi-
cal hairpulling?

The proposed changes In the police
department which were scheduled for
announcement this week will not he
made until next week. This announce
ment was made today by Commits
sioner James It. Oyster. who has i'm
mediate jurisdiction over the depart
ment.
In view of the fact that the Civil
Service Commission has not yet Ger.
titled the names Of the police lieuten-
ants who took the examination for
sioner said that he was unable to make
the announcement this week.
The board of police and fire SUR
geons has completed It's We ~ of ex-
aiming all men In both the police and

ferred with George 8. Watson, chief OF
the fire department: Daniel Sullivan,
acting major and superintendent Of

sion and was ready to I'LL the vacan'
cies caused by the retirements. Whea
the announcement il made, he said, II
would include the retirements and the
promotions of men to III the vacancies
caused by the retirements.
It Is understood that there will be
very few retirements In the ranks OF
the officers of the fire department, but
In the police department there will be
several retirements Of officers. One
captain-Thomas Judge, of the Tenth
precinct-has already been granted re.
tirement on his own application. and
Capt. James Hartley, In command Of
the Ninth precinct, has asked for re-
tirement. His case probably Will lie
settled before the announcements are
made so that there Is certain to be two
captains retired.
II was rumored in police circles to-
day that two other captains would lie
retired by the board of surgeons, max
ing four captains on the retired list.
In addition to this, there are several
ieutenants to be retired 1t was said
hat the promotions IN the department
