By decree of the President of the Republic, the silver medal of the
Reconnaissance Française was conferred on Mrs. Elsie Deming Jarves for
the devotion she showed since the beginning of the war to our wounded.
The Citation reads as follows:
"Mrs. Deming Jarves, since the beginning of the war, showed the most
generous solicitude for our wounded soldiers in Brittany, has never
spared herself and has shown the greatest devotion."
As announced elsewhere, Mr. Deming Jarves was made a Chevalier of the
Legion of Honor for the same cause.
