BERLIN. August S1.-Forty prom
inent figures in the present war,
ranging from Emperor Francis Joseph
of Austria to the commandant Of a
German submarine, had been. up to
August 1, decorated with the order
pour le merite, the highest military
service medal within the gift Of the
German emperor. Eight Of those
forty have received the additional gold
oak leaves with which the order Is
sometimes decorated as a mark OF spe-
cial favor.
The order is now 175 years old, but
II has only been since 1910 that it has
been conferred exclusively for extraor-
binary service in war. King Frederick
William III in that year stipulated
that he would not loan 1t for any
other cause, and three years later Gre
ated the oak leaf complement to the
order.
The names Of those who have earned
the pour le merite in the present war
are almost without exception known
all over the world now, though many
of them, probably the majority. had
never been heard of before the pres
ent conflict began. Many were not
even known in Germany. Here is the
