The new badge will, I hear, consist of a gold cross bearing the words "For Distinguished Conduct," and it will be attached to a crimson ribbon. Silver clasps or bars will be given for each distinguished act of valor. This decoration will, no doubt, be eagerly sought for and highly prized by those who win it.
