THE STORY OF TIE
PURPLE HEART

One of the most priced decorations
in American military history is that
of the Purple Heart. This old and
glorious military decoration was in
augurated by George Washington,
was forgotten for more than century
and half and then revived for dis
tinguished service in the World War.
There is an interesting story of this
military decoration in the current is
sue of the National Republic, written
for that magazine by Captain Fran
els Marion Van Natter. In part, Cap
tain Van Natter says:
"The Purple Heart? In the begin
ming it was only heart-shaped figure
of purple silk, edged with silver bind
ing, yet General Washington wrote on
it: The road to glory in patriot
army and free country is thus open to
ALL Although one of the worlds
oldest military decorations, the Pur-
pie Heart was practically forgotten
for $50 years. In 1882 is was revived
by President Hoover. Now it is be-
ing awarded or cited by General Per-
shing for exceptionally meritorious
and conspicuous services
"Out of the Revolutionary War
came the original Purple Heart. A
most trying period to the struggling
American colonies was at hand. Even
though the decisive Battle Of York
town had been VIGOROUSLY fought,
October, 1881, the treaty of peace
had not been signed. Washington
urged that much of the Revolutionary
army remain modified until peace
with King George was assured. The
Continental Congress agreed with
Washington, but, unfortunately, it
failed to provide pay for the soldiers.
Sufferings of the soldiers and their
families increased. Grumblings arose
in army ranks. Mutiny threatened.
Washington alone held the confidence
and respect of the people. He alone
could save the newly born nation.
"In the midst of such discourage
ment and almost insurrection, General
Washington, at Newburgh, New York,
addressed the officers and his rebelli-
Gus army. AS he took out his glasses
he quietly remarked: You see, gentle
men, l have grown both blind and
gray in your service Those simple
words instantly touched the hearts
of his ragged, starved comrades. He
begged them to carry on for the prin-
ciples they had so unselishly fought
for. The army periodically needed
his plea.
"The loyalty of the army in turn
touched the Commander-in- Chiefs
heart. And so at Newburgh, August
7, 1882, the great Washington issued
the historic order directing that
whenever any singularly meritorious
action is performed, the author of it
shall be permitted to wear on his fac
ings, over his left breast, the figure
Of a heart in purple cloth, or silk,
edged with narrow lace or binding.

try, but also of extraordinary fidelity
