THE FAMOUS IRON CROSS.
From the New York Times.)

(From the New York Times)
Shortly after the opening of hostili-
ties the German Kaiser, following the
precedent established by William l,
Reconstructed the famous Order of the
Iron Cross. The New Yorker Stats
Zeitung furnishes an interesting his
tory of this coveted mark of distinc-
ton with is awarded solely for the per-
Torrance of deeds of the highest valor
on the field of battle.
King Frederick William III of Pru-
ssia founded the order on March 10.
1913, as reward for services rendered
to the Fatherland in the Napoleonic
wars. The plainness of the iron in
sigma was intended to remind its
wearers of the hard times that had
brought it into being. 1t was small
iron maltese cross inlaid with a mar
row silver band just inside the beveled
edge. The only other marks upon it
were three oak leaves in the centre the
royal initials F. W. surmounted by a
small crown, and the date 1918. AS is
customary in the case of royal orders,
there were two classes and a grand
cross, the latter twice the regular size.
In l84l permanent endowment was
added paying fixed annual sums to the
wearers of the decoration.
On July lo, 1870, the day that France
again declared war on Prussia the or
der was revived by King William | on
the same conditions as originally insti-
tuted. AT that time the three oak
leaves were dropped, and the letter w,
the crown, and the date 1870 were sub
stituted for the original marks, but the
three leaves were restored by an or
der of the Imeprial Council in 1895.
| The decoration as revised in 1870 has
been bestowed on 1854 German war
riors of all classes, including those
coming from German states outside of
| Prussia
The Grand Cross is conferred only
on commanding officers who have won
a decisive battle followed by the
forced retirement of an enemy, for
the capture of important fort, or for
successfully defending fort against
the enemy's capture. In addition to
the soldiers who have won the cross
for individual acts of distinction, it has
been granted to all the members of
regiments that have performed es-
pecially meritorius service. There is
no decoration for a German military
man that carries with it greater glory
than the Iron Cross, and it is signih-
cant that the thousands of veterans
who possess this priceless decoration
have always been looked upon with
the most profound respect by the en-
tire German public.
