the pride of the Chinese people ever
since it was built in 1909 and which from
the first days OF its operations has been
remarkably profitable.
The road was constructed under the
direction OF Chinese engineers and has
been operated entirely by Chinese, fac

Up to August First That Number
Given the Order Pour lie
Merite.
EMPEROR JOSEPH ON THE LIST

Correspondence of the Associated Press \
BERLIN. Sept 16-Forty prominent
figures in the present war. ranging from
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, to
the commandment of a German subma-
rine, had been, up to August 1, decorated
with the order pour lie merite. the high
est military service medal within the gift
of the German emperor. Eight of those
forty have received the additional gold
Sax leaves with which the order is some
times decorated as a mark of special
favor.
The order is now 175 years old. but II
has only been since 1910 that II has been
conferred exclusively for extraordinary
service in war. King Frederick III In that
year stipulated that he would not loan
it for any other cause, and three years
later created the oak leaf complement
to the order.
The names of those who have earned
the pour lie merite in the present war
arc almost without exception known all
over the world now. though many of
them probably the majority, had never
been heard of before the present conflict
began. Many were not even known in
Germany. Here is the list:
Emperor Francis Joseph, General Won
Emmich, General Field Marshal Won Hin
denhurg, General Won zwehl. Lieuten-
ant Won der Linde, General Won Beseler,
General Won Quasi, Lieutenant General
Ludendorff, Captain Otto Weddigen, Col
onel General Won Woyrsch, General Field
Marshal Mackensen, General Litzman.
General Scheffer- Boyadel Lieutenant
General Won Morgen. General Won Mudra,
General Won Falkenhayn, General Otto
Won Bulow, Lieutenant General Kosch,
General Won der Marwitz, Colonel General
Won Einem, General Riemann, General
Fleck, Prince Eitel Friedrich, General
Field Marshal Won Buelow. Colonel Gen
eral Won Kluck, Archduke Frederick of
Austria; General Conrad Won Koetzen-
dorff OF Austria, Major General Won
Seekt General Won Linsingen, General
won Francois, archduke of Saxony-Alten-
burg, General Won Plettenberg. Lieutenant
General Won Kreussl Captain Kersing,
Major General Won zieten, General Won
Bothmer. General won Gerok. General Won
Stolzmann, General Won Gallwitz and
General Won Claer.
The extra oak leaves already referred
to have been conferred on Hindenburg,
Beseler, Mackensen, Emmich, Falken-
hayn, Marwitz, Linsingen and Luden-
dorff.
By creation of King Frederick William
" in 1912 there now is a peace class OF
this order. limited to thirty knights" A
crown now is added, as are the oak
leaves, but this can be given only on the
fiftieth jubilee anniversary of the order.
King William /. in 1866. added a grand
cross, which. however. has been given to
but two persons-the then crown prince,
later Emperor Frederick III, and Prince
Frederick Karl.
