trary to the spirit of this country to
give official sanction to arbitrary

regular grades of service and special
recognitions Of merit given by con,

OF American officers which congress
has recognized to the extent of per.
hitting the members to wear the
badge with their uniform on proper
occasions. This is the Order of tne
Dragon, which was established by
commissioned officers of the army at
Picking in 1900. The members are
commissioned officers of the Amcrl.
can army and navy who served in
China during the Boxer troubles. and
there are honorary members from
other armies and navies which took

society Is in some ways similar to the

French and American officers at the
close of the American revolution, the
object of which was to perpetuate
