Nearly Two Thousand Met?ais ami citations Aro Awarded, Washington, Nov i I - -The see? end anniversary of tho signing of the armistice vus celebrated in the navy and marine corps to-day by the distribution of nearly 2,000 medals and letters awarded bad been for warded to commanding afllcors in all parts of the world, and upon signal by radio and telegraph to-day from Secretary Daniels' office here the hon * wero distributed with appro priate ceremonies. The action marked the final phase of the controversy over naval deco rations that resulted in a Congres sional investigation last winter after Hear Admiral W. S. Sims had re fused to accept the distinguished service medal intended for him, on the ground that injustice had mark ed the manner of distributing the navy's recognition of distinguished war-time service. During tho inves tigation Secretary Daniels was ac cused of making awards to officers who commanded ships sunk by the enemy and ignoring other officers who performed distinguished service in responsible positions on shore. Publication of tho Hst of awards as finally approved by tho Secretary shows thq original list to be un changed so far as deletions are con cerned. Heal Admiral Sims' name again appeared on the list ns having been awarded a distinguished ser vice modal, but it was said at tho Navy Department that the mcdill had not been -actually forwarded to Ad miral Sims as was done in almost every other case, due to that officer's previous refusal to accept the honor. The medal, along ^wlth the navy crosses awarded Hear Admiral Ben ton C. Decker and Capt. Raymond Rasbrouck, who took action similar to that of Admiral Sims, had boen deposited in the Bureau of Naviga tion for such futuro action regard ing acceptance of the medals as the officers concerned might wish lo take, it was explained nt. the de partment. The Hst of awards as finally ap proved showed a considerable in crease over tho Hst published before the Congressional investigation. It was explained that after the matter had been referred back to the board bonded by Rear Admiral Austin M. Knight for consideration, many mer itorious cases wore discovered that had not boon Included In the origi nal list. For this reason, it was said, 1,961 medals and fifi2 letters of com mendation were awarded to-day In stead of 1,201 medals and 301 let ters.' as was criminally recommended. In addition to tho names added to tho Hst a number of awards as 1 icts of the Te ?ion in South Ca By J. f?ppi Brown, President, (ELL TELEPHONE & TELEGRA Increased Costs of 0 In the coet of labor, as shown in the ant has steadily Increased, tarlo! prices ls shown by the following Cable.""._ Cable._. adult Installed under Asphalt Pavement 1 wall set _.

No eliminations or reduc tions from the list have been made. However, certain clerical errors have been corrected. There have been a lerge number of new awards made as a result of recommendations that were afterwards made, and in fur ther consideration of all reports." In addition to the medals and let ters awarded tho ollicers and men of the navy, the marine corps, special certillcates of appreciation were sent by tho Navy Department to-day to 2G1 ofllcers who served in the naval oversea? transportation servico dur ing the war. The certificates declared that the services of recipients assist ed "in making possible the worthy achievements of the United States Navy.'' Eleven Congressional medals of honor were awarded, seven to offi cers and four to enlisted men. This was six more than contained in the original report of the board, and five moro than tho Secretary originally approved. The board's final report recommended ten such medals, but Mr. Daniels changed the award of a naval cross to Lieut. Commander Al exander CL Lylo to a medal of honor. Tho officers to whom medals of honor were awarded were Lieut. Commanders James J. Madison, re servo force, and Alexander C. Lyle, medical corps; Ensigns Daniel A. J. V.

Flourishing in Small Towns Throughout Country. More than 37,000 graduate nursee have been enrolled In the American Red Cross to date and its department of nursing ls dally increasing this en rollment. The department of nursing has been authorized to maintain an adequate reserve of nurses for the army and navy. It will continue to supply the needs of the United States Public Health Service to which lt has as signed more thun 1.0U0 nurses In the last year. It will assist In establishing proper nursing service in foreign countries where the American Red Cross has or ganized hospitals, dispensaries and schools for nurses, ('ou s ^ In home hygiene and care of the stctc have beon started for thousands of women who have never received ?ny education In this direction. Rural nursing which was in its Infancy a short while ago has beer.- put ahead at least a decade through the work of the department of nursing and local Red Cross chapters. Public health nursing has been ex tended to many rural communities and now flourishes actively In hundreds of small towns and counties. Nearly a thousand efficient nurses have already been assigned to this kind of work. The department of nursing is unit ing with other organizations In a year's campaign in recruiting nurses for training schools, In cducntlng the gen eral public ns to standards of nursing education and in showing communities their responsibility toward schools of nursing. It will endeavor to meet all pthese needs as, well as to continue the I enrollment of dietitians who will be j utilized as Instructors In home dietet ics, in developing nutritional clinics, and ,ln supplying dietitians for the United States Public Health Service and the civilian hospitals. The Nflrslng Service will continue to offer to women and young girls the opportunity of securing Instruction in home hygiene and care of tho sick in every community in the country. This instruction has not only laid the foun dation for public health but In some places bas given Impetus to the estab lishment of hospitals and community school houses. "As a community profits by the work of the nurse," says Miss Clara D. Noyes, director of the department of nursing, "it ls logical that the com munJty should be aroused to its respon sibility. The American Red Cross stands rendy to help In a "general cam paign of recruiting and must have the support, sympathy and understanding of the medikal profession ns well as the intelligent co-operation of the people at large."

WORKING AT HOME Production of Sound American Citizenship the First Aim, Says Dr. Farrand. On tlic badge of every member of the Junior Ked Cross aro tho words "I Serve." That tells ibo story of the school children's brunch of the Ameri can Red Cross and Its efforts to bring happiness to children throughout the world Realizing that the time never was - so propitious as right now for touch ing the highest Ideals of citizenship, the entire present program of the Jun ior Red Cross hus been framed under the very Inclusive phrase, "Training for Citizenship Through Service" for others, since the Junior Ked Cross ls the agency through which the Ameri can lied Cross reaches the schoolboys and the schoolgirls, all Its activities are designed to como within the regu lar school progrum, and without creat ing new courses or Increasing the num ber of studies to lend Its aid In vitalis ing the work of the schools. "Thc thing that ls needed,".says Dr. Livingston Farrand, Chairman of the American Red Cross Central Commit tee, jhs not a perpetuation of the Jun ior $led Cross, but the training and breeding of sound American citizenship inspired by the true, fundamental Ideals of sound demooracy. One of the great conceptions In making the Red Cross s contributor to better citizen ship In our American democracy is the realization that after all the sole hope of any nation ls with the children of the country." Thc plan of organization of the Jun ior Red Cross makes thu school-pub lie, parochial and private-the unit, not the Individual pupils. Mot nul serv ice, helpful community work such as clean-up campaigns, care of the sick, promotion of health regulations, par ticipation in civic and patriotic move ments-all these creutlve agencies de signed to translate Into life and uctlon the regular school program are parts of the machinery which the Junior Red CroBS places at the disposal of the school authorities. Graded study courses giving prac tical methods of civic training, supple mented by pamphlets and helpful sug gestions, are supplied to the local schools by the Junior Red Cross.

The pledge which binds together serv ice nm) citizenship rends: "We will seek In all ways to live up to the Ideals of the Junior Red Cross and devote ourselves to Its service.. "Wo will strive never to bring dis credit to this, our country, by any un worthy act * "We will revere and obey our coun try's laws and do our best to Inspire a like reverence and obedience In those about us. "We will endeavor In all these ways, as good citizens, to transmit America greater, better and more beautiful than she was transmitted to us." At the foundation of this school pro gram of the Junior Red Cross ts a great love for America's children. RED CROSS ACTIVE IN DISASTER RELIEF When disaster hits a community fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad wreck or tornado-the American Red Cross can be depended upon to follow right at its heels with help for the stricken people. Red Cross relief ls almost Immediately forthcoming-food, clothing, shelter and funds ; doctors, nurses and special workers with long experience In handling similar trouble elsewhere. During the lest year, ending June 30, there was an average of four disasters a month In the United States. One hundred and fifty communities In twenty-seven otates suffered. The largest and most destructive of these were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi, Texas, and tornadoes In Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. In these events of horror 8,r>0 per sons were killed, 1,500 were Injured, 13,000 were made homeless, about 30, 000 families needed help, thc property loss was nearly $100.000,000 and al most $1,000,000 In relief funds, not In cluding emergency supplies was ex pended. To the sufferers from all disasters during the year, the American Red Cross sent $120.000 worth of sup plies, 110 Red Cross'nurses and seven special relief trains. To meet the needs of the stricken, the organization set up ten relief stations, operated thirty food canteens and ns many emergency hospitals. One hundred and twenty-five Rod Cross chapters favc disaster relief service. If disaster ever strikes thin town or county, che citizens can be absolutely sure the Red Cross will bo right on band to help them In every way. -Prayer meetings to-night.
