ORDER OF THE RED EAGLE.
Som eth1n4 Abo1t the German Order
Recently Bestowed by Emper-
! or William on americans.

In view of the numerous decora-
tons conferred on Americans, it will
be of interest to learn something
about the history of the particular
orders bestowed. The Order of the
Red Eagle, which many Americans re-
ceived, 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 w. and the late King Will
helm, whom his grandson calls the
great, the statutes we're 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 smooth, white enameled
cross, inlaid with gold, white gold
shield in the middle shows in front
a 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 euameled 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

setting. The middle shield has . in

blue enameled crown, bearing the
inscription, "God with u.s." on the
