May 9, AMERICAN MEDALS NUMBER 1,243,121 “Victory,” Issued After World War, Most Widely Distributed. By the Associated Press. Every soldier who has worn an American uniform on active duty in any war since the Civil War is en- titled to a medal, yet far less than 2,000,000 have been issued since George Washington created the Pur- ple Heart Award in 1782. Altogether, the total of medals out- standing on the War Department books is listed at 1,543,721. The Victory Medal issued after the World War, was the most widely distributed. There have been 1,303,234 of these issued. Every soldier with honorable service on active duty be- tween April 6, 1917, and Novem- ber 11, 1918, or with the American Expeditionary Force in Siberia or European Russia could get it for the asking. The next largest issue has been the Purple Heart, but it is only in recent years that it has been be- stowed in large numbers. There have been 60,568 issued. Descendants have been more interested in the medal than were Washington’s ragged pa- triots. The Purple Heart rewards any “singularly meritorious wct of ex- traordinary fidelity or essential serv- ice.” A battle wound has been con- atrued as resulting from such an act, and most Purple Hearts were won by stopping bullets. Rarest of U. S. Medals. The United States’ highest award | is the Congressional Medal of Honor, but its most exclusive is the Dis- tinguished Flying Cross. There have been 1,825 Medals of Hopor—laurel wreath, star and head of Liberty—struck off, but only 76 of the crossed propellers of the Fly- ing Oross. The Medal of Honor is awarded for gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty in actual conflict with the enemy. Herolsm or extraordinary achieve- ment while participating in an aerial flight wins the Flying Croes. Other decorations and the number issued are: The Distinguished Service Cross, 6,465~For extraordinary heroism in military operations against an armed enemy. The Distinguished Service Medal, 2,133—For exceptionally meritorious service to the Government in a duty of great responsibility. Army officers in executive posts get most of these. The Silver Star, 10,546—For gallan- try in action, yet an act not warrant- ing the Medal of Honor or the Dis- tinguished Service Cross. The Soldier’s Medal, 162—For hero- ism not involving actual conflict with -the enemy. The Silver Star, Purple Heart and Boldier's Medal may not be awarded posthumously, but the others may. Thirteen Service Medals. There have been 13 service medals authorized, including the Victory Medal. The Spenish-American War pro- duced a number of medals for service in various campaigns.

C, MAY 9 1937—PART Two “old-timers” who performed many errands of mercy during the World War are shown above in the person of Edward H. McCrahon, and one of the original vehicles, posxtb}g one of those he ambulance is now on ezhibition at the Re ment inspector. Philippine Congressional Medal, 6,718; the Spanish War Service Medal, 25.- 787: the Philippine Campaign Medal, 37,774: the Army of Cuban Occupa- tion Medal, 63879; the Puerto Rican Occupation Medal, 1442, and the Army of Cuban Pacification Medal, 6,436. Other service medals are the Civil War Campaign Medal, 2,036; the In- dian Campeign Medal, 2,245 the China Campalgn Medal, 1852; the Mexican Service Medal, 16,915, and the Mexican Border Service Medal, 40,493. Fewer of those eligible received the Civil War medal than any other. It was authorized for all who served in the Union armies during the war period. This medal was not authorized, however, until 1905, and many veter- ans then were dead or not interested in claiming it. It may be secured by & descendant—the nearest kin—and requests for it are received frequently by the War Department. There were 138 issued last year. None of the decorations or medals is of precious material. The service medals, cast in bronze, generally bearing the imprint of a leader of the period on the front and the date the period on the obverse side and the date on the converse, cost the Gov- ernment only a few cents. The most costly is the Distinguished Service Medal, which has a blue enamel circle around a shield. It is free, as are the others, the first time, but a duplicate costs $3.25. REV. JOSEPH HERSON SERVICES ARE TODAY Rites for Former D. C. Pastor to Be Held in Havre de Grace M. E. Church. Funeral services will be held at 8 p.m. today in the Methodist Episcopal Church at Havre de Grace, Md. for the pastor, Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Herson, who was pastor of Hamline M. E. Church here from 1923 to 1928. He died Thursday of a sudden iliness. Burial will be private in Baltimore tomorrow. Dr. Herson, according to information received here, was stricken while dis- cussing church affairs with & member of the congrega- tion. The minister had come to Washington in 1923 from Salis- bury, Md, and during his pasto- rate at the Ham- line church the new house of wor- ship was erected at Sixteenth and Allison streets and the Iowa M. E. Church merged with it. President Coolidge broke ground for the new Hamline church in 1924, Surviving Dr. Herson are his widow, Mrs. Grace Rodda Herson; two sons, Robert and William Herson, and two daughters, Ruth Herson, and one married daughter.

A military festival will be held here from May 26 to June 5 under auspices of the District National Guard to raise funds for the recreation and athletic depart- ments of the lo- cal armory, Col. . John W. Oeh- mann, command- er of the Dis- trict Guards, an- nounced yester- day. The festival will be held outdoors near the head- quarters of the local National Guard at Sixth street and Penn- sylvania avenue. Col. Oehmann #said it would surpass snything in the line of theatrical spectacles ever attempted by the organization. Col. Oehmann is chairman of the Entertainment Committee, which also includes 100 officers of the Guard. : The military festival was arranged, Col. Oehmann said, because Congress has failed to provide appropriations for recreational facilities at the armory and at the Summer camp. Col. Oehmann, RESCUERS ARE THANKED Gen.
