SERVICE MEN URGED TO FILE APPLICATIONS FOR VICTORY MEDALS

Victory Medals are being applied for bo slowly by ex-service men that Major General P. C. Harris, the Adjutant General of the Army, has notified the officers in charge of the distribution to make the utmost effort

to reach all who deserve it. It is estimated that 3,757,624 men who served in the army are entitled to the medal, but to date only 379,214, or about ten per cent of the number, have applied. Applications are coming in at the rate of only 6,800 a day. which it. far below the capacity for issue of the working crew in the Philadelphia General Supply Depot. The quartermaster has put on. a large force, and these men are being held at much expense to the government. "It is no more difficult to make out a form for the Victory Medal," announces General Harris, "than it is to fill out a money order blank." This form verifies the recipient's service and his present whereabouts. It will prevent the medals from falling into the wrong hands. The government's gift Is a work of art, not a bauble, and has intrinsic as well as sentimental value. It cannot be cent out to unverified addresses, any more than Liberty Bonds or War Insurance Checks, many of which have been lost before reaching the addresses, in spite of all possible care. Simple Procedure. "The ex-service man has only to apply at the nearest Army Post or recruiting officer or through any patriotic society .such as the American Legion or the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Here he will be shown how to fill out his blank, and if his discharge papers are correct, the application is forwarded direct to Philadelphia, and the medal mailed within a week. Hundreds of applicants have given wrong addresses, and many medal3 are returned daily by the Post Office because the men cannot be located." For service in the United States 117,194 Medals have been issued to date, and 79,092 for service in foreign countries. There have been 56,005 medals with three battle clasps issued, and 53,510 with two battle clasps. These are the largest numbers of all with battle clasps, which range from one to eleven.

tinction between members and nonmembers in the Victory Medal distribution.

France, it is said, will be willing to meet the heads of the allied govern

ments to discuss the question after the report of the experts has' been submitted, and will even be willing to confer with the Germans after the heads of the allied governments have agreed among themselves.
