CREDIT GIVEN TO SOLDIERS
Battle Participation Board Is In
stituted.

By United Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-The war de-
partment has determined that the indi-
yidual soldier in the World War shall
receive credit for his battle service. To
this end it has instituted a Battle Par
ticipation Board that is reviewing the
records Of every outfit" that went to
France, to determine finally in what ac-
tiOns against the Germans they took
part.
Slowed away in a corner of the enor-
nous building that houses the records
of the American Expeditionary Forces
here, the Board is plugging away at its
task. A lot depends upon it, its men,
bers say, for if "Private O'Mul,igon.
098345", was in the St. Mihel offensive
and the records have him wrong. who
can say to what indignities O'Mulligan's
descendants hundred years from now
may have to suffer from this inaccur-
acy.
Acres and acres Of records. piled
three stories high in an eight-winged
building. is the baitle-terrain Of the
Board.' Records Of every individual that
reached France; records of every outfit
that ever got off transport, are there.
The system thus is this: When sol
dier applies for a medal, the Board gets
to work and determines what action the
Umptieth participated in. Private Clan
noccio's personal record is then search
ed by another department tc see if he
was with the Umptieth at the time it
was engaged. If SO, he is awarded the ap-
propriate clasps for his medal for the ac-
tions which the Board has decided the
Umptieth took part in. The Boards de-
cision becomes history.
The policy Of the Board is liberal,
its members say. Each one Of them, a
total of four, saw days and days of ac-
tive front line service and they are dis
posed to give every soldier full credit
for participating in an action even if
he only heard a gun fired.

SCHOOL NEEDS
IMPRESS JOINT
CONGRESS BODY
Senator Capper and Rep
resentative Millspaugh
On Inspection Trip.

InsurmountabIe difficulties under
which the public schools of the Dis
trict are attempting to function
were further impressed upon mem
bers of the joint Congressional Com
mftteeron Schools yesterday, when,
under the direction Of Supt. Ballou.
the committee made its second In
spection Of buildings not previously
visited. x
AS important matters in Congress
prevented several OF the COMMITTEES
members going, Chairman Capper
decided that one more trip will be
taken some time next week.
Members of the committee who
went on the tour were Senator Cap
per. Of Kansas. and Representative
Frank c. Millspaugh. OF Missouri. Of
the House Committee on Local
Schools, and Representative Wood
run. Accompanying the COMMITTEES
were Supt. Ballou, Asst. Supt. Kra-
mer. Asst. Supt. of Colored Schools
Wilkinson; Mrs. Howard l. Hodg-
kins. vice president of the Board
OF Education. and Mrs. Susie Root
Rhodes, member of the board.
Junior High site Visited.
The site proposed as the best To-
cation OF. the new junior high
school. in lexington, was the first
stop made. This property, lying
between First and Secotd and r
and S streets northeast is particu-
larly advantageous for n building
Of the kind proposed. Supt. Ballou
told the committee. The topography
OF the property which would be in
the rear OF the school building Is
particularly adapted to the erection
of stadium. and very little grad
ing would be necessary for the
building of tho school.
Upon the same property, but at
the other extremity. Supt Ballou
explained, the new Mckinley Man
ual Training School WIFI be buiu.
In order to put this plan into ef-
feet however, II would be neces-
sary to purchase additional land
adjacent to the plot to be occupied
by the Junior high school, the COM
mittee was told.
Congress has made the appropria-
tion for the twenty-four- room
Junior high school. but an addition
al appropriation would be necessary
to put the new plan into effect.
Upon reaching the Petworth
School the committee saw the DIM
culties of trying to adjust a schoo,
to meet the rapidly Increasing popu-
lation in this section. The compile
tion of an eight-room addition to
the school building has merely been
sufficient, to accommodate the addi-
tional pupils, and the overcrowded
condition has not been alIeviated in
the least.

the Sim Fein political machine. Out

party.

King Grants Amnesty.
Other higR spots in the days

nation of amnesty to all offenders
convicted of political offenses in
Ireland prior to the truce, the on
cial announcement that the British
would begin the evacuation of its
NANSPo eNAAOAA Nuo HlCtllHB
of Ard Comairle, the executive
board of Sim Fein.
King Georges proclamation Is as
follows:
"The king has been pleased, at
the moment when the provisional
Irish government is due to take Of
fee, TO grant amnesty with respect
to all offenses committed in Ireland
from political motives prior to the
operation of the truce, July IL last.
The release of the prisoners to
which amnesty applies will begin
forthwith.

1T is the kings confident hope
that this act of oblivion will aid
in powerfully establishing relations
of friendship and good will between
the peoples of Great Gritain and
Ireland"
The Kings act will mean the re-
lease of 1,o1O men, There are still
few persons convicted of arson
and other crimes in England, but
there is little doubt that they will
be released soon.
special meeting of Ard Comafrle
was held today at the Mansion
House to discuss the situation, at
which Eamonn De Valera, who is
president of the. Sim Fein organi-
cation. presided. This body is COM
posed of delegates from Comairle

trtct organizations. made up in
turn of local clubs. Members of
both parties attended.
Mr.. De Valera announced at once
that a parting of the ways had
come and a split in the organiza-
ton was inevitable. This made Il
necessary, he said. to decide who
was to have control of the funds,
the election machinery. etc. It was
decided after a long debate to call
Ard Feis of the Sim Fein, which
is a meeting composed of two dele
gates from each local club, of
which there are about 1900, for
February to decide who will
have the funds and the name of the
machinery. 1t is possible that the
Ulster clubs may decide to continue
as an independent organizat tion.

plan of the old Sim Fein coalition.
Harry Boland, Mr.. De valera.s

night that the De Valera party is
relying on subscriptions from
America for its campaign fund. The
De Valera followers cannot issue
any more bonds because they no
longer have the moral authority
of the Irish people behind them.
but they will appeal for gifts as
the old Irish party did.

Spanish Swindle Tried on Udall
 Without Success

Newspaper readers have read much of late about what is termed the Spanish Swindle." :" Letters have been sent all over the United States in the endeavor to get hold of a lot of loose money. Our townsman, David K. Udall, has been selected as one of the lucky" ones. and he received few days ago letter from Barcelona, Spain. Udall is given the opportunity to accumulate the sum of $12O, 900 by lending his services to MT. Carlos Oliva, and incidentally. it is supposed, to add few hundred in advance toward increasing Mir. Oliva's exchequer.
 Following is the letter referred to, which has been turned over to the local pOstoffice authorities by Mir. Udall.
 Barcelone, Oct. IT 1922. Dear Sir: Being imprisoned here for bankruptcy 1 beseech you to help me to obtain suf of 36O, 900 dollars l have in America being necessary to here to raise the seizure of my baggage paying to the Registrer of the Court the ex- penses of my trial and recover my port manteau containing a secret pocket where have hidden two checks pay able to bearer for that sum.
 AS reward will give up to you the third part, viz, 12O OOO$.
 cannot receive your answer in the prison, but you can send a cablegram to a person of my confidence who will deliver it to me addressed as follows:
 CARLOS OLIVIA,
 Beatas Rutrecuels
 Barcelone, Spain Particulars. Udall.
 Awaiting your answer to instruct you all mi secret, now sign only
 R de S. First of all, answer by cable-not by letter.
 Mir. Oliva had probably read in the Helbrook Tribune of Dave's prosperity in getting all the mail contracts here and that he, with w. w. Sherwood, had opened up handsome business offices on one of Holbrook's main thoroughfares. The idea evidently was that he had a surfiet of loose change which might become attached to Mr. Oliva's port manteau. Hence the letter.-HoIbrook Tribune.

Maker of Tire Talks
 of Seiberling Cords

"A tire that will be known every where, is the slogan of the Seiberling Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio. Ever since it became known, about a year ago, that F. A. Seiberling had relin- quished the presidency of Goodyear, and would form a new company to build a tire which would bear his name. there has been much speculation as to what the tire would be.
 For nearly 25 years MT. Seiberling has been one of the prominent rubber men of the country, He is primarily an inventor and creator. Throughout his long career as tire manufacturer, he always has been a disciple of pro gress and development. He was at tracted to the rubber business original ly, it is said, because of the opportunity it offered for invention and for improve ment of products. He is said to be per sonally responsible for the first straight side tire, the first practical quick de- tachable rim, the first tire-building machine, and the type of cord fabric now universally used in cord tire con- struction.
 Mir. Seiberling is building into the tire that bears his name, twenty-three years of experience and development. It is built of cord construction, of high orade material and cured on air. The tread design is suitable for front and rear wheels, of semi-flat construction, producing maximum surface for anti skid traction and wear. The tread stock is continuous from bend to bend. Seiberling cords have had thorough testing over a period of teA months and embody no spectacular structural in- novations which are untried. Mir Sci berling says: 'It is as good as we can make it. :"
