Peace and War.—It seems almost to be irony to decorate Andrew Carnegie with the cross of the Legion of Honor, a distinctive military organization, and he one of the leading apostles of modern peace. By that decoration he is entitled to a military funeral. He may wear the necktie of the order with its pendant cross, and in the lapel of his coat the coveted button. The same honor provides a school for his daughter, sisters, or nieces, “presumably,” one paper adds, “with reasonable library privileges.” The New York World declares that “Doubtless the most dramatic episode of the Peace Conference, everything considered, was the decoration of its president with the badge of the military society founded by the greatest of modern warriors.”
