Louis Republic) When Germany went to war there were carloads of iron ' crosses lying around the various army headquar- ters, waiting to be bestowed upon those who had performed some dis- tinctive service for the cause of the Hohenzollerns. arious other war honors were at hand to reward the faithful or stimulate endeavor. When the United States went to war, and for months after it had men in the firing line, there was no sys- tem in our army by which even deeds of exceptional valor could be proper- ly recognized. An act of Congress was necessary, in fact, in each speci- fic case. That is why we read so oft- en of Americans receiving the French Cross and occasionally a British | ened quite geuerally i dealings decoration. Now we have established, tardily, series of war honor bestowed by commanding officers in the fleld, in recognition of special acts of bravery or devotion. There are three decorations of this charac- ter known asthe Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Rervice Medal. The are awarded for gallan- try in action. The D. S.

The Distinguished Service Cross is to be awarded to those who may distinguish themselves by extra- ordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United States under cir- cumstances which do net justify the award of the Medal of Honor. It may be awarded to any person who while serving in any capacity with the army shall distinguish himself or who since April 1917, has so distinguished himself. It applies to officers and en- listed men of the allied forces, as well as our own. General Pershing has issued orders calling attention to the honors and in- structing commanders how to make recommendations and award them. Tt is noteworthy that o large stock of decorations have already been earned and are being awarded on the battle- fields and in the hospitals of France. Our men did not wait for medals to be offered, but went out. and won them, while an indulgent Government was devising a suitable system. though a to be RICHTER G CO MEMBERS NEW YORK STOOK EXCHANGE. 31 WEST MAIN STREET ..............
