"Ob Jack, you oud Ruth hurry up down here, I've sot something to tell you." It us L'nt. la Ted wbo bad Just arrived. "We're coming." called the child ren, as they rated down the frout stairs. "What are you going to tell us about tills time?" asked Jack. "You will remember Jack, that I told you last week about the bail con dition of the navy. How no many ships are tied up because there are not enough men to run them; bow .'000 men had deserted in five moutliN anil what it means in the loss of money to our government. Now I am going to tell you something else that has happened in the navy since our last story. In every war. children, medals are given to the men in the artily, navy and marine corps who did real big things Some times they are the men who captured many of the enemy without aid from others. Then, too. medals are rightly given to of ficers who did big and wonderful In having their branch of the things service readv when war was declarei and who worked early ami late to titude. ling. (ieti. see it through. One officer of thisl4,f id,- marine corps type I remember is Hrig. Cen. Charles L. McCawley. tjiiartertnaster of the Marine corps whose duty it was to see that the murines had plenty of clothes and food. When the war broke out the marine corps was ready w ith enough uniforms to give each man all he needed and they were of the best .material. That one thing helped a whole lot to make the marines feel good ami content and when thev I stanetl fighting you know what hap ' pened to the enemy. I "On February 4. l!lf. an art of 'congress was approved which gave the president power to give the medals for war service in the navy and marine corps. Hut not long ago. when it came time to decide to whom the medals should go. the prcslden' was ill and not able to act. So Jo- , sephus Daniels, secretary of the navy. : ! was. it seems, given the right to give ' I the medals. He had no way of know- I i.'ng who should and who shouldn't get them so he appointed a hoard composed of naval officers of high rank, all fair minded men to go over -all the cases anil decide who should ! are sought by 'negi.n get medals and what kind I her should Fanners' week sim! get." j Cllltlllal college. i'.e "What medals are given?" asked fen-toe cuiic-n,-. i m ftuth.

Resides these home, find and a j ply two kinds arrangement was made to ' give the distinguished service medal ' for great and unusual service and the! navy cross for service not so great. After the board had decided they sent I the list of those whom they thought should get the distinguished service agriculture, state depart men! of edu cross, the medal of honor or the navy i cation, agricultural college, public li cross to Mr. Daniels for his approval. , lira lies, and maiiv yw li on'a r, Izat ions Rut did he accept what these men had ( as the Y.

To show what he did I I will tell you about some of the cases. ! Hear Admiral Austin M. Knight was awarded the navy cross bv Mr. Dan iels. He commanded the Ariiafic .quadron during the war rendering great service and everyone nolleves he should have been awarded the dis tinguished service medal. Hut ilr. Daniels didn't think ho and to make matters worso he appears to think that his nephew, Lieut. David Worth Ragley who commanded the Jaob Jones, a destroyer, nhould have the distinguished service medal. The board had recommended the navy cross for I. lent.

The admiral's service hail been Important so the board recommended the distinguished service medal Hut in the meantime there was a iii.itrel between the two men. So when Mr Daniels came to Admiral t'owie's name be struck It from the list. "I could go on ami on naming cases like that, but I want to ti ll ou what happened to tleti Met'awley, of the marine corps, whom I mentioned he fore. The board recoiiimeudeil the dis i (inguished service medal for him but hei'uuse Mr Daniels doesn't like htm he took him off thi- li--t The gen era I is related by marr'aire to Senator i Inlge who led the f cht against the world club plan and that may have something fo with Mr Mantels' nt j mended bv ih- board for tinguishud service im-dal but leis doesn't much so lie t too " ' "Will any'! lels?" asked "Mr Mam.
