BY u. S. ENVOY

gress and the American people
Myron r. Herrick, the Ameri-
can Ambassador today pre-
scented to the city of Nerdun
the first and only medal ever
given by the United states gov
ernment to any community IN
the world.
The ambassador and Pre-
mier Poincare together visited
the gound where are buried
many thousands of French
whose valor the medal COM
memorates, and both spoke
under the emotion aroused by
the thought of the dead and the
sight of the "red zone" so de-
vastated that 1t may never
again be fit for human habita-
ton.
Mr.. Herrick assured France
of the deep friendship OF the
United states, which though 1t
might not prevent disagree-
ments and misunderstanding,
would dissipate and survive
them.
"Verdun and valor are for
ever one and inseparable," said
the ambassador. Here blazed
the spirit of France. And so
this medal. which I give to
this illustrious city, hallowed by
the sacrifices and courage of
all France, is a tribute from
the whole United States to all
of France"
M. Poincare recalled the
thrill at the coming of the
Americans. the joy of their
victories, the sorrow over their
dead. and expressed in glow
ing terms the gratitude Of
France to America.

At THE STATE j
Bishop HoWden Delivers
Sermon Sunday Afternoon
at Rodey Hall; Special
Music Is Given.

"Peter said unto him, thy
money perisheth with thee be-
cause thou hast thought that the
gift of God may be purchased
with money"-Acts $50.
This is the subject chosen by
Bishop Frederick 3. Howden FOR
his baccalaureate sermon delivered
at Rodey Hall at the University
yesterday afternoon at O'Clock
"The recipient of this apos-
tolic rebuke is a man known IN
history as Simon Neagus," Bishop
Howden explained, "And he is the
reputed founder of the Oriental
speculation system and the per-
son whose name is the origin or
that wore simonry' in our die
tionaries. which means, the sale
or barter Of spiritual gifts Tor
money or temporal reward
Pointing out that the accumu-
lation and making of money
while important to. the enjoyment
of things temporal, takes second
place in comparison with the giNs
of God, Bishop Howden CLASSIFIED
the real gifts as follows.
First is the gift Of vision
Nothing. is more tragic than the
Limitation Of vision or more in-
spring than its extension, Second,
the gift of love. Love is an al
chemy which can transmute the
humblest or hardest life. 1t ami
hilates space and puts to sleep
fear and assuages pain. To have
love Is far more important than
to have knowledge. TO love
God is better religion than to
speculate about him. Education,
IL 1t deserves the name, must be-
gin with tho heart.
"Third is the gift of self-sac-
rifice. 1t is that thing which can
transfigure everything IN human
life which can ennoble a
battlefield ana make death glor-
ious. Fourth among the gifts. is
the gift of courage. And by that
do not mean mere physical cour"
age--but rather moral courage
Many man who is brave enough
to face the cannon's mouth. has
pSiOi1 tiG Siidlto VI ii'''
cule and the man who calmly
fulfills his duties in the face of
public clamor. displays higher
courage than the general WHO
takes cities"
In closing, Bishop Howden said
I'VE do we'll to remember al
ways that the highest and best
things which we can ever have
are the divine gifts. not some
thing which we can make or earn
but which rather we can open
the windows of our soul and let
them take hold and penetrate.
What we do ana what we ac-
complish are important. but they
are important only as landmarks
and helpers to that which is
much more real"

to be stored on the Pacific coast.
These tanks, when completed, will

"These plans have been worked

less than one per cent during

"The royalty oils now being re-

Fifty per cent for reclamation pro-

"There is a further contract to
tput id-continent prices into ef-
fleet in the Salt Creek field. The
Midwest company now has mo-
nopoly of the sale OF oil and it is
unable to take and use more oils
from leases of government lands.
THE consequence has been a loss of
an average of sixty cents per bar
rel in cash value.

production taken to capacity by the
Midwest pipe lines, it would mean
a loss of more than $1S0,000 a

more than 100000 month, and
under full production would lose
double that amount.
