GERMAN DECORATIONS.

BERLIN, July 21.-Cabinet orders
comforting decorations on about 800
Americans who had to do with the trip
of Prince Henry of Prussia to the Unit
ed States are in Emperor Williams
hands for signature. The Foreign Off
ce sent the papers to his majesty a fort
night ago, and their return and the an
nouncement of the decorations are eE-
pected any day. The list was made up
largely by DR., Won HOlleben, the Ger
man ambassador at Washington,
though of course, Prince Henry per-
sonally suggested a good many names
a delay in fixing up the list seems to
have been due to the necessity for as
pertaining before hand whether persons
in official positions would and could ac-
cept.
There has been much correspondence
between the Foreign Office and DR.. Won
Holleben regarding the attitude of the
American officials whose individual
preferences as set forth in the cores
pondence are kept inviolable here. How
ever, after months of exchange of views
the list was finally agreed upon and
sent to the United States Embassy for
revision.
The United States ambassador An
drew ID. White, following presidents in
such cases politely declined to make
any suggestions, and returned the list
to the foreign office without expressing
Iany opinion. 1t appears that a standing
instruction of the State Department is
that the bestoWal of decorations shall
be discouraged as much as possible, be-
cause the decorations have no place IN
