ARMY CHEVRON
USES DIVERSE
To clear up the puzzling question
as to just what the various insignia
worn by returned soldiers mean, the
Western Department authorities offer
the following explanation:
One go’-d chevron on the lower left
sleeve indicates that the soldier wear
ing it has seen six months’ active
service overseas “in the theatre of
onepation.”
For each additional six months he
wears one additional gold chevron on
'-is left sleeve.
One gold chevron on the lower right
-leeve of a soldier indicates that the
so'dier has been wounded or gassed
r. the theatre of operation.
It may mean more than one wound'
11 tlte wounds were recieved at
ft>e same time. But if the soldier was
wounded twice at differenet times and
ip. different<enyagements, he is entitl
ed to wear an additional gold chevron.
One blue chevron on the‘lower let
s’^eve indicates more than three mon
»*>s’ service “in the theatre of opera
tions." •
One. silver chevron on the lower
left sleeve indicates that the soldier
wearing it has seen six months' serv
i'-" in the country or as the War
Department expressly puts it. "out'
s:dn the theatre of operations.” An
additional silver chevron is authorlz
ed for every additional six months’
ervice outside the rheatre of opera
tions"
* One gold star on the lower left
“leave indicates that the soldier was
among the first hundred thousand
men to go abroad. This practice is
unauthorized by the War Depart
men that it is not seriously objected
to by any authority.
O ^e silver star in the same position
indicates that the soldier was among
the first fifty thousand men to join
Pershing overseas.
Overseas caps may be worn by re
tirrrcd troops until they are dischar
jred frrm the army. i
3am Browne belts, the type worn
by English officer- and much used by
Americans in the American Expedi
tionary Force, are prohibited in this
country.
Divisional insignia niay be worn

RAILROAD HAS
TOUGH SLEDDING|
SSVTARD, (By Mail).—Tough filed- ;
icg is as, aotnaliry, rathe? Qian,, a en
tire <A speech, on the route at the
go verm out. railroad between Seward
and Anchorage. There Is a gip of <
thirty-two miles over which trains <
cannot operate because of either <
snow-blockaded track or glaciered J
rails: sudden and extreme changes J
in the weather make traveling with <
horses and dogs alow and arduous, j <
Ofen tha trail Is obliterated by snow j
storms and the breaking of it is a;
*ask of frequent repetition. Some
times blizzards are so severe that
horses cannot bo driven at all and J
even malamute dogs curl up in front <
of their sleds rather tfcan try to go <
against the storms. Other times, tho J
trail, made soft by thawing temprea- <
tures, will not support horses and Its ' <
slush snow “balls up” the feet of dogs {
so they cannot travel. On such oc- J
cessions, animals, drivers and passen- <
gers have to stay at roadhouses until <
there is a change to more favorable |J
weather conditions. J
Taken all In all, the weather this <
winter in the country along the route 1
of the railroad between Seward and J
Anchorage is the wors\ in the mem- 1
ory of the oldest inhabitant. Heavy .
falls of snow, terri c winds, frigid
temperatures and unusually warm '
spells of brief duration have inter
mixed at intervals of oniy three or
four days apart since the middle of
last December.
tour ieei or new snow m twenty
four hours is a phenomenon of not in
frequent occurrence. In some places
there are drifts of snow as high as
1 the iops of telegraph poles and at the
foot of several mountain sides there
are slides of it that cover the track
for distances as long as 1200 feet and
to depths ranging from twelve fo
tprtv feet. At one point. Mile 76 1-2
where in previous winters there never
was a snowslide. seven slides this
winter were cleared away before the
' °1ort to keep the place open was
abandond.
Besides the stretches of snowblock
■ aded track, there are several miles of
| t’aciered rails. These resulted from
! alternating warm and cold weather.
| during which snow was thawed and
| the water ran on the track, submerg
! ;ng the rails and then freezing solid.
The thickness cf this ice at places
; ’tia; judged from the fact that the
| water was so deep it put cut the fires
i in locomotive enieines when they at
; femoted to go through it.
Despite every effort to maintairf
the entire line in operation, it is clos

the hardest and most persistent work

Seward and Mile 45 and -between Mile
77 and Anchorage, which is at Mile
114. Rotary plows, ditchers and large
'■rews of laborers battlg night and
