AMERICAN ENGINEERS
SURVEYING TWO RAIL.
ROADS IN CHINA NOW

PEKING, Feb. 28-American en-
gineers have begun the actual surveys
OF two of the railways which are to
be built in China by the Siems-Carey
Railway and Canal Company, an Amer
lean organization financed by the
American International Corporation.
The lines upon which the surveyors
are working are in central and soth
China. One of the lines extends from
Chuchow in Human province south
through Hengchowfu and Yungchowfu
in the same province to Kweilin in
Kwangsi province, then southwest to
Liuchowfu and Manning in the same
province, then southeast to Yamchow,
or Chinchow. in Kwangtung province,
a port on the Gulf of Tongking. This
route is about eight hundred miles
lorg.
The other line upon which the en-
gineers are working runs in general
east and west directions. 1t starts at
ChowkiaEow. in Honan province, and
extends through Nanyangfu in the
same province to Hsiangyangfu in
Hupeh province. The latter city is
an important commercial point on the
Han River, which drains very fer
tile valley we'll developed agricultur-
ally. Although this line is only three
hundred miles in length it is regarded
as an especially valuable route becaus
it extends through a rich level coun
try offering few engineering difficult
ties, and so fertile and populous that
the railway will doubtless pass as soon
as it is put into operation. Actual
construction work win probably be
begun on this line in a short time,
and it will doubtless be the first part
of the new American railways opened
to traffic.

REVISION OF STATUTES OF
THE ORDER OF LEGION
OF HONOR CONTEMPLATED

PARIS. Feb. 28.-A revision of the
statutes of the Order of the Legion of
Honor is the object of bill just in
troduced in the Chamber of Deputies.
The intention is to make a distinction
in the pension allowance between
members of the Legion who earned the
red ribbon under fire and those who
were decorated as a distinction for
civilian service or military service be-
hind the front.
The Legion of Honor now distrib
utes about 10 million francs per year
in pensions on the following schedule
established in 1852
Holders of the Grand Cross 5000
francs per year; Commanders 1000
francs per year; officers 500 francs
per year; Chevaliers $50 francs per
year
The authors of this project recall
that the fundamental idea of the Leg
ion of Honor was the official consecra
ton OF bravery. They propose pens
ions limited to $50 francs per year for
soldiers and officers of all grades pro-
NOTED during the war, and excluding
from their benefits all those who were
not decorated or promoted for actua'
courage under the enemy's fire.

DEAR Mr.. MtNN.

The field of imagination is wonder
full, and through its uses many times
reasoning is brought to the surface
The Albany. n. Y. Journal is respons-
ible for an imaginative letter penned
from Wilhelm, II. Emperor of Germ
any. better known as Kaiser, to Mr.. j.
+. Mann, the minority leader in the
House of Representative of our Con-
gress, and occasionally OF the track
on some of his doctrines. The letter is
2 classic because it serves the purpose
Of displaying to Mr. Mann what the
American people think about him. It
says:
My Dear Mr. Mann: l see no
reason whatsoever why should
not permit you to pursue your
rightful errands in the city of Chi
