Marine And
Navy Heroes
Get Medals
Second Anniversary of
Armistice Day Mark
ed by Distributon of
Rewards
..Washington, Nov. 11. The sec
ond anniversary of the signing of
the armistice was celebrated in the
navy and marine corps today by
the distribution of nearly 2000
medals and letters of commenda
tion for particularly valorous or dis
tinguished performance of duty
during the world war. The medals
and letters awarded had been for
warded to commanding officers in
all parts of the world and upon
signal by radio and telegraph today
from Secretary Daniels' office here
ine nonors were distributed with
appropriate ceremonies.
Sims Given Medal.
The action marked the final
phase of the controversy over naval
decorations that resulted in a con
gressional investigation last winter
after Rear Admiral W. S. Sims had
refused to accept the distinguished
service medal intended for him on
the ground that Injustice had
mm sea tne manner of distributing
v..- iccognition of distin
guished war time service.
Publication today of the list of
awards as finally approved by the
secretary shows the original list to
be unchanged as far as deletions
are concerned. Rear Admiral Sims
name again appeared on theOist as
having been awarded a D.S.M The
medal, along with the navv crosses
awarded Rear Admiral Benton G
Decker and Captain Raymond Has
brouck, who took action similar to
that of Admiral Sims, had been de
posted in the bureau of navigation
for such future action regarding ac
ceptance of the medals as the offi
cers concerned might wish to take,
it was explained at the depart
partment. List Is Increased.
The list of awards as finally ap
proved showed a considerable in
crease over the list published be
fore congressional investigation
A recapitulation of the awards as
made today shows the following
new awards for the navy over
those made public last winter- Dis
tinguished service medals, three;
navy crosses, enlisted men, 150; of

Corruption
On Shipping
Board Denied
Lack of Co-ordination
is Responsible for
Inefficiency; Salem
Man Implicated
New York, Nov. 11. Practices of
the United States shipping board
which led to the present investiga
tion by the Walsh congressional
committee have not been "corrupt"
according to Commander- A. B.
Clement executive assistant to Rear
Admiral W. S. Benson, who was the
principal witness at the commit
tee's hearing here today.
If there is ground, for criticising
the shipping board administration
Commander Clement declared, it is
upon the ground that a perfect '"co
ordination between the different
departments has not been attain
ed." Commander Clement admitted
that the shipping board had in
some cases paid exorbitant wages,
common laborers having at times
received the pay of experts. Ef
forts were made, however, he said,
to stop this.
Siilem Man Involved.
As to building contract cancella
tions and hull removals the report
now before the investigators asserts
that the shipipng board entered in
to a contract with George F. Rog
ers to remove hulls which were on
the ways in an unfinished state at
the time the contract was signed or
to secure from the builders or the
owners of the land upon which the
hulls and ways rested a release,
from further liability.
"For some reason," said the re
port, -'the United States shipping
board saw fit to make a contract
with Rogers to pay him $5000 p
hull for each hull thus handled by
him. The result has been that in
many cases the United States ship
ping board has paid aq additional
$5000 per hull to have Rogers sell
tne nul or give it away, in many
cases the cost of the hull represert
ing several thousand dolars. Rog
ers has found no difficulty in sell
ing these hulls at a very fair price,
which revenues revert to Rogers,
in addition to which he collected
from the United States shipping
board emergency fleet corporation
a $5000 fee."
PIEZ SAYS COJIMITTEE
SEEKS SENSATIONALISM
Chicago, Nov. 11. Charles Piez,
former director general of the
emergency fleet corporation criti
cized the house committee investi
gating the fleet corporation in a
statement here today, and declared
the committee had overlooked the
"wholesome atmosphere of the

Legion Chief's
Armistice Day
Message Given
New York, Nov. U. National
Commander F. W. Galbraith', Jr..
of the American Legion,, today is
sued the following statement aprop
os of Armistice Day:
"The swift triumph of our arms
and those of our gallant allies,
which two years ago gave us the
victory, the anniversary of which
we are celebrating today, marks
the highlight of the present cen
tury in American affairs. Victories
such as Armistice Day commemor
ates are not the isuess solely ot
clashes of flesh and steel. They are
of a finer quality than that. They
are the triumph as well, of an un
conquerable spirit.
'"No victory, however complete,
long can survive the spirit that
conceived it. The annauls of man
kind are replete with examples;
splendid triumphs in behalf of the
splendid causes that have gone for
naught because the spirit that
made them ceased to endure.
"This is only the second anniver
sary of Armistice Day a day des
tined, if we will, to keep company
with the immortals of the calendar
that mark great moments of his
tory that shall never die. Succeed
ing generations will acclaim Armis
tice Day. God grant they always
shall acclaim it in the spirit tli-i
made it and that this spirit, like the
day, shall be imperishable!
"With this prayer in cur hearts
let us renew each year our vows of
fealty, repledge and keep unshake
able our faith in the high Ideals,
the lofty purposes, the unselfish as
lirfitioris and exalted holy hopes
that fired the hearts of Americans
in 191S and made ours a land from
whence crusaders came, with souls
aflame, worthy of their victory.
To this end the American Lg
lon. today and forever, solemnly
pledges its all."
Posts of the Legion in all parts
of the country are celebrating Ar
mistice Day today at which the
Government Victory Medals will be

cials of the Pacific coast.
"The indictments, when brought
showed less than $30,000 involved,
and the government's case was so
fllumey that the judge decided it
without letting it go to the jury.
"The committee is again after a
sensation, and so it publishes Un
charges which two former minor
employes of the shipping board
have laid before it. It publislits
these without giving the officials of
the shipping board and the fleet

voted down by the electors in tho
recent polling are devised the city
of Salem will have to take retrench
meat measures during the coming
year which will strike at practically
every branch of the city govern
ment. This is the interpretation of the
action of the voters in repudiating
the council's request for a $25,000
deficiency levy as made by mem
bers of the finance committee of
the council.
No Band Concerts.
Just what items in the bndget
will have to suffer if the $25,000 is
not secured have not been definite
ly determined, but retrenchments
so far proposed include:
Elimination of all puBllc band
concerts during the coming year.
No paving of street intersections
by the city.
Slashing of the fire department
appropriation, thereby handicap
ping the inauguration of the two
platoon system approved by the
voters as a sister measure to the
budget item which they killed.
Decreased police protection
through cutting one man from each
of the day and night forces of the
police department.
A blow at the city's health and
cleanliness through reduction of
the street cleaning department.
Another Vote Lively.
The possibility that these blows
at efficiency in the city government
may be avoided lie in proposal that
the $25,00 budget item lie sub
mitted again to the voters at a spe
cial election, and this plan is be
ing considered.
It is thought that the defeat of
the measure was due to a lack of
undarstanding by the voters of the
urgency of need embodied in
request for the appropriation,
that if properly explained
measure would be ratified by
people.
Hurdle On Track;
Train Is Stopped;
Prank Is Serious
Detective Kelly, of the Southern
Pacific company, and Chief of Po
lice Welsh are at present searching
for the parties who placed a hurdle
on the S. P. railroad track near the
Washington junior high school
Monday. A train was forced to
come, to u stop while the hurdle
was removed.
That the hurdle was placed on
the track by boys who believed
they were doing something runny,
is the belief of Chief Welsh. Had
the train struck the hurdle the re
sult might have been serious, he
said, and every effort will be made
to locate the guilty parties.
