French Author
ScOrnS Decoration

In view of the fact that there arc
now 100000 persons entitled to wear
the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor.
remarks the Taris correspondent oil
1.-THE Morning Post" il is interesting
to note that Francis Jammcs. one of
the most distinguished of living poets
in this country. has thought fit to re-
fuse membership of the highest order
existing in France. 1t has been gem
orally underst God for some time that
his name would figure in the next list
of promotions to the order.
Early in August the Minister OF In
struction Puhliquc NJ. Leon Rerard.
Informed the poet that he was To be
nominated for the grade of ChcNalicr.
NJ. Jammes replied laconically 'Je
remercie ct je refuse" with the result
that his name did not figure in the list
recently published.
In reply to request from The
"Matin" to state the reasons for his
unusual step, Francis Jammcs now
states:
Il am sincerely grateful to VI. Be
rard for having wished to atone for
what has appeared to him to have been
either an injustice or misunderstanding
ing on the part Of his predecessors,
but | think the work of a poet can do
without official conservation. and that
the love which he gives to il and
which he receives in exchange for ii is
rccompcnse beyond all others
A good dea of comment has been OK
cited in Paris at the fact that. al
though the recent list issued by the
Foreign Office of nominations to the
Legion of Honor. which consisted of
between 20 and so names, included
those of - Americans and representa-
tvcs of 4 large number of other Coun-
tries not single British subject fig
ured in it.
The explanation given many people
is that the omission is in no way due
to the initiative of the French govern
ment. but solely to the dissemination
of the Foreign Office to permit more
than a very limited number of dccora-
tionS to be conferred on British sub
jectS.' English residents in Paris will re-
call the fact THAI on the occasion Of the
recent royal visit it Was reported that
some so applications for decorations
were Submit d To the Qua d Orsay
with negative results.
