Medals for Soldiers The war department has ordered new decora tions and insignia for American soldiers. In or dor of their value, they are a Distinguish Serv

ice Cross, Distinguish Service Medal, War Service Chevrons and Wound Chevrons. The "D. S. C." will be awarded by the president or by the commander in chief of the American expeditionary forces for "extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United Statesjinder circumstances which do not justify the award of the medal of honor." From time immemorial soldiers have been proud of decorations received for extraordinary valor or service. The intrinsic value of the decoration makes no appeal to martial ardor, but the significance of the medal and the difficulty of obtaining it arouse desire for the distinction. The decoration sets apart the wearer from his fellow soldiers. It proves that he has shown himself a master soldier in a crisis or in an occurence that involved more than the usual danger incurred by his associates. Experience has shown that fellow soldiers are not peeved when one of their number receives the decoration but feel proud that they may be numbered as one of his friends and associates. So the granting of the' medal is an amenity that increases the efficiency of the fighting machine and serves to accelerate the valor of the soldier. Service stripes and medals are trophies which veterans cherish highly. They are points of association that recall days of youth and fighting strength. The war department acted wisely in ordering medals that pertain particularly to the present struggle.

stood, so that books on these subjects have lost

their appeal. The demand for books on other topics here is in accord with the experience elsewhere. England found that poetry gave her non-combatants the relief they sought. Even the soldiers delight in reading verse.

Vacant Lot Famine The vacant lot famine is a good indication that home gardens will be found all over Richmond this year. Gardeners want lots. Lot owners who have not given friends permission to cultivate them ought to list the ground with Supervisor Murphy at the Commercial club rooms without delay. A lot running riot with weeds this year will be reproach to the owner. Gardeners have appealed for the ground. The demand is here. Vacant lot owners must offer their premises.

What the Public Is Reading The demand here for books ono ther topics is library indicates that people are finding relief from the depression of the war by reading poetry and books that deal with vocational or cultural topics. The newspapers offer an abundance of material about current happenings of the war. The

Conquest and Kultur "The German Empire has become a world empire. Everywhere in distant quarters of the earth thousands of our countrymen are living. German guardians of the sea. German science, German industry, -are going across the sea. The value of what Germany has upon the sea amounts to thousands of millions. It is your earnest duty, gentlemen, to help bind this greater German Empire firmly to our ancestral home. It is my wish that, standing in closest union, you help me to do my duty not only to my countrymen in a narrower sense, but also to the many thousands of countrymen in foreign lands.

This means that I may be able to protect them if

I must." Kaiser's speech, June 16, 1896. Gauss. 102. "In order to assure to our people the horizon which girdles the earth, colonies and sea power are indispensable." From a telegram sent to von Reichenau, chairman of the Verein fur

Deutschtum in Ausland, May 2, 1916, by Grand j

Admiral von Tripitz. G. p. 25. "It is quite conceivable that a country without colonies may cease to rank as a great European power, however strong it may be. Therefore, we must never become rigid as a purely continental policy must make us, but see to it that the outcome of our next successful war must be the acquisition of colonies by any possible means." Treitschke, Politics, 1916, I, p. 119.

The Food Administration Says: Let us remember: That every flag that flies opposite the German one is by proxy the American flag, and that the armies fighting in our defense under these flags can not be maintained through this winter unless there is food enough for their women and children at home. There can only be food enough if America provides it. And America can only provide it by the personal service and patriotic co-operation of all of us.

DINNER 5TORIEJ A well-known banker in a downtown restaurant was eating mush and milk. "What's the matter?" inquired a friend. "Got dyspepsia." "Don't you enjoy your meals." "Enjoy my meals?" snorted the in-

i dignant dyspeptic. "My meals are

merely guideposts to take medicine before and after."

"What's puzzling the director now?" "Here's the problem we got a scene at the Pyramids." "Well?" "Now, would it be cheaper to take 3,000 people to Egypt or build a bunch of pyramids outside Los Angeles?"

ESS than two years ago Theodore Roosevelt in

several public addresses said that every alien that came to this country should come under bond that

he would learn English and take steps toward becoming a citizen within three years after his arrival, or be deported. And the statement made a ripple. It .sounded "radical," a bit violent, a piece of very forceful, perhaps, but really autocratic statesmanship. It has a milder ring now. After finding so many industrial cogs in our munition plants and along our docks without a shred or respect for American citizenship, and after realizing that these men have been here for three or five or ten or even fifteen years, fitting only heaven knows how into our social and industrial and political scheme, we do see a point in insisting on something. And it does not, in contemplation, seem a3 if it would have been so very radical a thing to ask a man to demonstrate on entering Elfis Island that he had some interest in coming other than getting a job, and would guarantee some return in loyalty, and probably in citizenship. It is not merely a registration of enemy aliens that we need. We need the registry of every alien that enters Ellis Island a registry of his industrial capacities and of his citizenship intentions. And we need the use of this registry by American institutions tor the purposes of Americanization. We propose no bureaucratic card indexing for its own sake, but the alert use of live data in a continuous process of Americanization, supervised by

anhore. It is like this: Lobsters are taken in pots, traps and pounds made of spruce joists, boards and laths. The pots are taken out to the lobster grounds in gasoline dories, and. when lowered, are attached to their buoys with manila rope. Spruce lumber has increased from $16 to $40 a thousand. Manila rope doubled In cost, and gasoline Is climbing after Blue Brass liquor. Hence the lobster famine. The various departments regulating food will doubtless assure us that the Cuban land crab Is an edible bird and quite superior to lobster, anyway. We have been speaking of deep-sea lobster. There will never be a scarcity of land lobsters. Just the other day another millionaire married a showgirl.

Editor Palladium: Referring to "a Reader's" severe arraignment of mischievous children, permit the writer to congratulate your very just defense of childish pranks, however they may annoy us "nervous" grownups who onceiwere sj unfortunate as to be romping, rollicking children. Personally I have learned to accurately judge of a child's home history and environments, wholly by its conduct. My child study has led to at least two firm convictions namely, the child, even long before its birth, is more readily and perfectly trained than any other animal. That divine truth so tersely expressed by Scripture "Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it," is verified today by the sciences of Eugenics and Psychology. For conversely.

oeconaiy, cnnaren are in no wise reduct, for exactly like grown people sponsible for their character and conthey must and will have amusement and recreation. The child neither knows or cares for the law; if one who like Topsy never was born, but "just growed up," becomes a fair or even good citizens, it is mainly because of the law's strong arm. Therefore, don't blame the child. It has absolutely no control of its heredity, birth aud training; lay the

He had ordered lobster. She felt that she ought to be entertaining, so she remarked: "Isn't it queer that lobsters are always green until they get into hot water?" "Nothing queer about it," he came back. "If they weren't green they wouldn't get into hot water.'.'

The latest example of English as she is spoken comes from Egypt, where a native interpreter, who had overstayed his leave, wrote the following letter to his chief: My absence is impossible. Someone has removed my wife. My God, I am annoyed."
