Crulkshank, brigadier general, U. S. Army was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service in & position of great responsibility. He commanded with extraordiary abil- ity the artillery of the 3d Division on the Marne during the German at- tack on July 15, and subsequently during the advance on July 18. Through his great knowledge in plac- ing of the guns, he materially assisted in the repulsing of the enemy during these trying days, subjecting himself to the same haz- ards as his men, inspiring them by his example of fearlessness. His vast knowledge of military tactics was largely responsible for the successes achieved by this division. Later he rendered valuable services as com- mander of the artillery of the 4th Army Corps.

Zern, editor of the Glenrio Tribune and chairman and candidate of the Natlonal Secular Party. His nomination was not the result of a glamorous national convention. It was not accompanied by demonstrations or ballyhoo, yet Zern is more than a self-nominated candidate. | Mentioned in 1928, | A bishop of the Liberal Church, he was first mentioned for the presidency four years ago.

By the Associated Press. | INDIANAPOLIS, July 9.—William D. Upshaw, presidential nominee of the Prohibition party, tonight issued a chal- | lenge to debate the prohibition issue | with Franklin D. Roosevelt or President Herbert Hoover. If the President should count it a | breach of proprieties, Upshaw said, “to | defend in debate the platform on which he hopes to be re-elected, I challenge { him to commission either of his wet, or semmi-wet or semi-dry, cabinet members, who counseled the Republican straddle, | | to defend their platform apostacy.” | " Upshaw termed it an amazing para- | | dox that Gov. Roosevelt, the Demo- | cratic presidential nominee, should say that “the eighteenth amendment has | been a failure and should be repealed, | and yet he admits that the saloon, | which that amendment closed, was 50 | bad_that it must never come back.” The former Georgia Representative suggested the gate receipts of the pro- | posed debate be divided equally for campaign_expenditures or that the net proceeds be given to the Red Cross to help the unemployed. He suggested it be held in the Chicago Stadium or Ca- dle Tabernacle, Indianapolis. | at signs. Office 7900 Georgia Ave. 1 ORTH [ASHINGTO FReaity ¥ ¥ Company Inc. & BROOKE LEE, President.
