WON WAR CROSSES IN BALKANS

Word has been received from Paris by the American Field Service that the French Army of the Orient has awarded war crosses to three former members of the University who were in the section that recently returned from the Balkans. Those who have been decorated are William Emersen '95, H. B. Palmer '10, both of New York, N. Y., and J. M. Walker '09, of Newburyport. According to dispatches, the medals were awarded for courageous action in removing wounded men in the region of Monastir, between December, 1916, and October, 1917. The work of these men was particularly noteworthy during the period of heavy bombardment between March and August of last year.

Two others in the same ambulance section were also decorated for devotion to duty. They were E. H. English, a student at Yale, and Jacques Magnini, of the University of Paris.
