the only ribbon on Pershing's tile
denoted the war cross of Belgiiu.
S'ecretary llaker:, in a brief address,
expressed the pleasure It gave him to
decorate so brave a soldier and then
read the citation which granted his
majesty the medal in recognition of
"the distingished and- pati-iotle ser
vice which lie has rendered to the
coimotn Cause 11pon the battletlelds
of Europe.
Albert, trained from yonth to hide

his voice trembled slightly as lie vole
