Correspondence of the Assoctated Press. BERLIN.—Decorations continue to cause troubles in republican Germany. A good story, with two members of the cabinet as heroes, is causing no end of laughters in Berlin's social set. The only distinguishing badge which |can be awarded now for meritorious ! service to the country is the medal of the Red Cross Society, all decorations having been forbidden under the new constitution. There is, however, no tra- dition as yet as to how it should be worn. At a'recent social function the two minsters appeared with their Red Cross medals In the lapels of their evening dress coats. Hardly had they entered, when they disappeared again. After their return to the hall it was remarked the minister who had worn his medal on the right side now had it fa;bened on the left, and vice versa the other. Each had assumed of the other that he must know how to wear the badge, and seeing it on the opposite side from { his own. had withdrawn to rectify the supposed mistake. o Maj. Dunn Reassigned. Maj. Beverly C.
