Plate 7 -- General Atonije Bogichevic in 1902. Note the Class II of Milosh the Great, as well as the Class II of the White Eagle, being inferior in position to the Milosh Star and Badge.

Plate 8 -- Prince Arsen wearing the Sash and S~:ar of the Roumanian order of Carol I and Star of Karageorge. Note the way in which he wears his other orders: Star of Karageorge, ~ite Eagle, St. George (Russia), St. Vladimir with swords, St. Peter (Montenegro), etc. Your attention is drawn to this because it is s)~11ptomatic of the time that he considered St. Peter (Montenegro- the highest order of the other Serbian Monarchy as inferior to his Russian Orders)--perhaps, influenced by his wife, Princess Demidow de San-Donato.

Plate 9 -- Duke (Fieldmarshal) Radomir Putnik shortly before his death. He wears the Sash of the Star of Karageorge, peace-time division. You will note he wears only one order with swords--Star of Karageorge, Class IV. Neither Takova Cross or ~lite Eagle are for war merit. The Takova Cross he wears was forbidden for wearing, if not with swords, by Order of 1904.

Plate i0 -- General Jovan Atanackovich. Note the Star of Karageorge (for time of peace). This Star with facetted rays is an early one (Type I). He is also wearing the Class II Badge at his throat, which is absurd when one knows that at this time he is the Chancelor of the Royal Orders. Note also that the ~lite Eagle is being worn from the second button hole of the tunic. The White Eagle Badge is the scheid type, with twisted necks.

Plate Ii -- Military Justice Colonel Vlada Jovanovich (Chief Military Justice in 1918). Note the way he wears his White Eagle (long infulae, Type IIIb) the second button-hole being occupied with the Crown of Rumania, he promptly transferred his White Eagle to the third button-hole.

Plate 12 -- Colonel Dushan Jovanovich, Minister of the Army. He wears the Sash and Badge of St. Sara. Also, Stars of the Military Merit of Spain and the Redeemer of Greece.

Plate 13 -- General Svetozar Hadchich Commander of the Drina Division in the war of 1913. Note that he wears the Sash of the ~hite Eagle (incorrectly) over the right shoulder. His display of Serbian and foreign orders is unbelieveable: After the Star of Karageorge IV Class, he wears--not Serbian-- but the Russian Order of St. George, Rumanian Order of Michael, Class III, Legion of Honour Russian St. Vladimir--then, follows the ~lite Eagle, Takow Also, his St. Sava Star is on the left breast.

Plate 14 -- Colonel (late General) Fanyo Zach, Commander of the Artillery. He wears the Class II I~ite Eagle; Austrian Order of Franz Josef; Russian Order of St. Anna, with Cro~ and Swords; Italian Crown, St. Stanislaus; etc.

Amendment to the Instructions on the physical aspects and mode of wearing the Royal Orders.

On July 8th, 1891, the Royal Regents in the name of King Alexander I published a decree which amended some of the previously established regulations concerning the Orders of the White Eagle and of the Takova Cross. The part related to the White Eagle reads:

"The Instructions on the physical aspects and the mode ofwearing shall be amended as follows:

In part I - "Royal Order of the ~lite Eagle" - the last article shall read:

"For the IV Class the ribbon is 30 mm. wide, the middle red field being 16 mm., the pale blue stripes 5 n~n. each,
