THE D. C. M.
Takes Precedence Of All Other Dec-
eptions Except the V.C.
Who does not know the red, blue,
red ribbon of the Distinguished Con-
duct Medal? Yet it is quite a modern
deeoration, dating with the Conspicu-
oes Gallantry Medal of the Royal
Navy in 1854, the year of the com-
mencement of the Crimenn Campaign.
The Meritorious Service Medal dates
beak nine years Peeler.
The earliest known medal for dis-
tinguished eondust is that awarded by
Charles the First. The recipient was
Sir Robert' Welch, of the Irish Com-
mand, who recovered the Royal Stan-,
dard at the Battle of Edge Hill. Pre-
sumably that award would be the
equivalent of officer's D.C.M. of to -day
-namely, the D.S.O.
The youngest whiner of the D.C.M.
is• Private John McKinnon, of the
Black Watch, a sixteen -year-old boy.
The medal wee awarded him in 1916,
and, much to his regret, his parents
succeeded in getting him discharged
from the army because he was under
agel Youth will be served,
During the war something like one
thousand D.C.Ines have been confer -
ed for individual cases of. distin-
guished conduct and devotion to clutY
in the field. Many of the recipients
have earned the decoration on a see..
ond, third and fourth occasion, and
have been given bars to their medal
accordingly.
Here and there many years have
separated the winning of the D.C.M.
from that of gaining the bar. For
example, Compatiy-Sergeant-Major
W. L. McIntyre, of the King's Royal
Rifle Corps, who won the D.C.M. in
the South African War during 190e,
was given his clasp for bravery dur-
ing the present war in August, 1916.
Thus 19 years separated the winning
of the medal and the. winning of the
clasp.
On one occasion the D.C.M. was
cancelled and the Victoria Cross given
in its place. This happened a couple
of years ago to Pte. W. Jackson, of
the Australian Imperial Forces.
A man in the ranks wears the D.
C.M. in the place of honor on the left
breast of his tunic, unless he holds
• the V.C. All other medals and *wards
-excepting the V.C.--follow the D.
C.M. But the officer who gains the
D.C.M. in the ranks and afterwards
wins eurthee decorations in the form
of the D.S.O., M.C., D.P.O., D,
P.C., or any of the Orders of Knight-
hood weaves the D.C.M. sifter them,
but still in front of ill war medale.

Buyers sere very particular about
the bristles being well cleaned, of
uniform length ana color, and the
bundles solid. This is -apparent when
inns considered that prices vary from
twenty taels to 800 taels per picul
(138 1-3 pounds), depending on the
assortments. The collectine season
is from November to Apr, as bris-
tles are soft and useless for the trade
during the hot months. This accounts
for the fact that the main precluding
and shipping centres are north of the
Yangtze. For eicport the bristles ate
packed in boxes, containing one picul
to a box.
The ports from which they are ship -
pea are, in the order of their import-
ance, Tientsin, Cbungkiang, and Han-
kow. Manchuria and Shantung are
increasing in importance hi this trade.
Most of the bristles are shipped to
the 'United States, Great Britain and
France. China offers an excellent field
for the manufacture of bruthes. It
is surprising that greater develop-
ments in this direction have not
taken place.
