TO REVISE STATUTES
(By Associated Press.) }

Paris, Feb. "a A revision of the
statutes of the Order of the Legion
of Honor is the object Of bill just
introduced in the Chamber OF Depu-
ties. The intention is TO make a dis
t.ntioo in the pension allowance be-
tween members of the Legion who
earned the red ribbon under fire and
tnose were decorated as a distinction
for civilian services or military serv-
ices behind the front.
The Legion of Honor now distri-
bates 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 ESQ francs per
year
The authors OF this project re-
call that the fundamental idea of the
egion of Honor was the official con-
secration of bravery. They propose
pensins limited to $50 francs per
year for soldiers and officers Of all
grades promoted during the war,
and excluding from their benefits all
those who were not decorated or
promoted for actual courage under
the enemy's fire.
