ORDER OF THE RED EAGLE.
netting About the German Order
Recently Bestowed by Emper-
or William on Americans.

In view of the numerous decora.
tons conferred on Americans, it will
De of interest to learn something
about the history of the particular
orders bestowed. The Order of the
Red Eagle, which many Americans re-
,eived, was originally established in
17O5 by the hereditary prince of
George Wilhelm of Brandenburg-
Anspach, under the name "Ordre de
la Sincerite" and Order of the Red
Eagle. When in 1871 the markgrave-
dom became a part of Prussia, the
Order of the Red Eagle was also TAX
en- over by the state. King Fried
rich Wilhelm II. made it the second
order of Importance of the kingdom.
Friedrich Wilhelm III. in 1918
changed the statutes and also the
signs of the order. Under Friedrich
Wilhelm ". and the late King Will
helm, whom his grandson calls the
great, the statutes were also extend
ed. The order consists of five classes,
which are: Grand cross, first class.
second class with star and without
starr, third and fourth class; be-
sides these classes, a large number
of gradations and variations exist,
says an eastern exchange.
The decorations of the grand cross
consist of large eight-pointed white
ST. Johns cross with gold setting.
The crosses of the first, second and
third class, which differ only in size.
consist of a smooth, white ename1ed
cross, inlaid with gold, white gold
shield in the middle shows in front
crowned red eagle bearing a green
wreath in his talons. The cross of
the fourth class has the same form,
the arms of the same, however, are
not enameled but of silver, only the
middle shield is enameled and like
the other classes.
An order which many of the Amer.
leans received is the royal crown or
der, the youngest order of Prussia
1t was established in 1861 by King
Wilhelm of Prussia, when in COM
memoration of his coronation. The
order is of the same rank as the Or
der of the Red Eagle, and also divid-
ed into four classes. The decora-
ton consists of a plain white enam-
eled cross, having a double golden
setting. The middle shield has in
front golden crown surrounded by
| blue enameled crown, bearing the
inscription, Sod with u.s." on the
| back is the name of the royal found
err, w. R., and the date of the found.
ing of the order, October IS, 1861
The orders of the first, second and
third class differ only in size, while
| the order of the fourth class is not
golden cross.

The aggregate tonnage of launches
on the Clyde during the month of May
constituted a record which has only
been twice before exceeded in the
whole history of Clyde shipbuilding.
Twentythree steamers were launched,
of a total of $4,000 tons; three large
sailing ships, totaling 5,676 tons; two
steam yachts, of total of 465 tons,
and six sailing yachts of an aggregate
of 135 tons. The shipbuilding indus

porous at the present time, and not
withstanding the above abnormal out

up with fresh orders amounting to
about $4,000 tons.

NAVAL ENGINEERS ELArED.
Experiments with OH m Fuel on
Warships Prove That Il Can he
Successfully Used.

Naval engineers are elated over the
results of the liquid fuel experiments
on board of the Pacific ocean steam
er Mariposa. Some time ago Lieut..
W. P. Winchue, passed assistant en-
gineer, was detailed to take a trip
of several thousand miles with the
Mariposa, the object being to ac-
quire technical information bearing
upon the use of oil as a substitute
for coal on board ships of war. The
Importance of the experiment has
been increased recently by the scare
ity of coal, and it is expected that
Lieut.. Winchue's report will indi-
cate the possibility of using liquid
fuel with the same results attained
with coal.
In the meantime experiments are
being conducted in Washington at an
elaborate plant, equipped with boil
ers, board of naval officers has been
detailed to conduct these local ex-
periments. It has already been found
that results Of a most promising
character are assured. There has
been much difficulty, however, in OBJ
tanning oil. Some sources of supply,
notably those in Texas, have not
been regular, and the price of the
material has greatly increased.
