HUMBLE FRENCHMA|V
MAY Be DECORATED
Government Takes Steps to
Crafty Craving of People
for Insignia.
By GEORGES DUFRESNE.

Special Gable to The Tribune.
PARIS, Aug. 30.-No people in the
world, | am sure. are ms madly in
love with decorations and orders as
we Parisians, and all OF us who are
not fortunate enough to have been
decorated are painfully conscious of a
yearning for cross, star, or even
a modest ribbon.
The government, knowing this, is
lavish with the decorations it has
power TO bestow, but as it cannot pos
sibly make every one of us n cbeva-
lier of the Legion of Honor it has just
instituted a new order, and rs our gov
ernmont is n democratic one, it is only
proper that the new order should be
intended for the hAmblest class of
citizens, the servants, who, by the
way, are no more humble here than
anywhere else in the world, where
they know that they are really our
masters.
But, anyway, we have now a new
decoration for this privileged class,
which we sincerely hope will prompt
them TO give up their apparent present
custom OF leaving us without notice.
The decree instituting the new order
of Distinguished Domestic Service
provides, according to a law passed.
apparently unperceived last July, that
all domestic servants who have faith.
fully performed the duties Of their
estate, and whose conduct is ire
proachable. shall receive a medal Ike
The one bestowed on all faithful
clerks. shop assistants and commercial
employees generally. This will entitle
them, Furthermore, to wear tri-col-
ored ribbon in their buttonholes.
The conditions for obtaining this
decoration are: The applicant must
have served In the same house or
family for a period OF thirty years,
and must have earnod tho commenda-
ton of their masters or mistresses. If
they have not been able to serve In
the same family or house they may
nevertheless obtain the ribbon, II Il
was not their own fault Servants
may exceptionally receive the distinc-
tion if they have been only twenty
wears in service. if during that period
they have regularly paid certain
fee to the national pension fund or be-
longed to mutual aid society or an
approved insurance organization.
Thirdly, they may obtain the distinc-
tion Il they have brought mp four

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Aug. 30.
That the problems incident TO resi-
dence in the same land Of whites and
blacks are becoming as acute In South
Africa as In America, is indicated by
late report from the commission un-
der the chairmanship Of Sir Melius De
Villiers, appointed to investigate at
tacks on women.
The commission did its work with
great thoroughness, visiting every por-
tion Of the union except the purely na-
tive territories where the holding of
formal inquiry would have been iniu-
dicious or unnecessary. It received
statements from 300 persons able TO
testify from first hand knowledge of
tho subject under investigation. The
statistics and other information gath
cred by the commission shows that a
serious evil In respect to attacks on
white women by natives does exist, and
that on the whole it is increasing. In
1901 the total number of convictions of
negroes for this crime throughout the
union was IL; in 1912 it had grown TO
