According to the official program established by procdent, President Poincare drove with a military escort to the Petit pdurbon on the opposite bank of the Seine to fetch Paul Deschanel, who had been occupying the palace for years as president of the chamber of deputies. From there the two proceeded in state to the Hotel de Ville, Poincare occupying the seat of ... honor by virtue of right. , At the Hotel de Ville, which Is the seat not of the national government but of the municipal administration of the metropolis. President Poincare ceremoniously presented his successor to the City Fathers, whereupon the president of the municipal council, that is to say the mayor in chief of the entire capital and the Prefect de la Seine, governor of the metropolitan county or department, welcomed the new ruler of France in the name of the city of Paris. , The two still living former chief magistrates of the republic, Emile Loubet and Fallieres, occupied places of honor at the ceremony. After Paul Deschanel had fully acknowledged the two speeches and had given a brief expression of his intentions to emulate the services of his predecessor and to fulfill the obligations of his office in accordance with the provisions of the constitution, Poincare and Deschanel resumed their places . In the presidential- - equipage.- The outgoing president again occupd the seat on the right, no longer as a matter of prerogative, but as an act of courtesy of his successor, who drove him, still escorted by cavalry, to the residence which he had rented for Mme. Poincare and himself in the Rue Warbeau. From there) President Desafeanet proceeded alone to the Elysee palace, f which,' after having been welcomed there with full military honors, he assumed formal possession in the presence of the members of the cabinet Quite a different sort of an inauguration from ours! The French president is not called upon to take oath of office and the people of Paris go about their business much as usual while the business of the president taking offi& is going on. What is perhaps the, nearest approach to anything resembling an Investiture of office will be when the distinguished general, who is grand chancellor of the French National Order of the Legion of Honor, calls in state at the Elysee pal-ac- e on the designated afternoon to place around the neck of the new president the great gold chain of grand master of the order. It is a gold chain composed of seventeen gold and blue enamel medallions connected with one another by large gold links, and naturally is superior to the grand cross, or first class of the order. It is fastened to each shoulder with bows of white ribbon, while suspended in front of the collar is a large cross of the order. The first nine medallions are engraved with the names of the chief magistrates who have worn the collar since the foundation of the present republic, namely," Thiers, Marshal MacMahon, Jules Felix Faure, Grevy, Sadi Carnot, Casimir-Perle- r, Emile Loubet. Armand Fallieres and Raymond Poincare. The name of Paul Deschanel is en. , graved on the tenth medallion. This chain or collar of the order, dating from 1872, is the fourth that has been made since tbs foundation of the Legion of Honor, just 118 years ago, by the first Napoleon. He caused three collars to be made. The first one was for himself, and was worn by his nephew Napoleon HI. throughout his reign. The second is in the possession of Prince Jo-- . achirn Murat, who inherited it from his great-gregrandfather, Field Marshal Joachim Murat, brother-in-laof the first Napoleon, and some time king of Naples., The Prince Murat of today, of course, cannot wear it, not being a knight of the order, even of the lowest grade. He merely owns ' : , it as a family relic. , No one knew what had become of the third collar until it turned up In 1867 among the crown jewels of the reigning house of Austria-Hungarand Emperor Francis Joseph wore it when he visited Paris that year in connection with the international exposition. It is now among the French crown jewels. Of course the gold collar of the order recovered from Vienna and that worn by the first Napoleon ns founder and first grand master of the order are so adorned with crowns and Imperial-emblemas to be unsuitable for the president of a republic. Therefore the official insignia of Paul Deschanel as the new grand master is the collar, made in 1872 for Adolphe Thiers, first president of the third republic. . Although President Poincare, like his predecessors at the Elysee palace, was compelled to relinquish the collar of grand master at the close of his seven years term of office, he will, as a past grand master, remain a knight grand cross for the remainder of his days. This in itself gives him high official rank. Indeed, the knights grand cross of the order relatively few in number are officially considered as among the highest dignitaries of the republic, coming immediately after the president, the speakers of the senate and of the chamber of deputies and the three marshals Foch, Joffre and Petaln.
