The Liberty loan meeting held on
Saturday evening in the Lutheran
church was well attended and there
were ringing speeches made, and those
not yet aroused to our country’s need,
should now heed the call and do their
share, however small it may seem. It
is the willingness to respond to the
call that really shows our patriotism.
Rev. McKinney, of Bellefonte, made a
splendid speech, which was listened
to with perfect attention, as were the
talks of Rev. Weaver, Mrs. Robert
Mills Beach and C. C. Shuey. Mr.
Shuey sang a solo entitled, “There
Will be No Kaiser Anymore,” which,
of course, was loudly applauded.
There were over eleven hundred dol-
lar’s worth of bonds bought. Some
people who were not present at the
meeting will also take bonds. Let the
people awake to a realization of the
fact that unless we stand firm for our
rights and are willing to do our bit,
or rather, all we can, we cannot ex-
pect to gain the victory over our ene-
mies.

New Insignia for U. S. Troops.
Washington, D. C.—New decora-
tions and insignia for American sol-
diers, ordered by the War Department
in order of their value are a distin-
guish service cross, distinguish serv-
ice medal, war service chevrons and
wound chevrons. Women are eligible
to receive both the cross and the med-
als.
The “D S C” of the American army
is to be “a bronze cross of appropri-
ate design and a ribbon to be worn in
lieu thereof,” to 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
States under circumstances which do
not justify the award of the medal of
honor.”
Awarding of the cross is made ret-
roactive to April 6, 1917, any soldier
who has appropriately distinguished
Rinses since that date becomes eligi-
e. :
No individual will be entitled to
more than one distinguished service
cross or medal, but each additional
citation which would warrant the
award of the decoration will entitle
the soldier to add a bronze leaf to his
| ribbon. .

of the Mexican border patrol in prox-
imity to engagements resulting in
casualties among their units.
