Dr. James H. Honan Honored By German Government.

Attorney Edward P. Honan Jias received a letter from his brother, Dr. James H. Honan, the surgeon at Berlin, Germany, to the American embassy, which reads as follows: . His Majesty’s Imperial government has through the Minister of Education handed me a certificate of honor for scientific attainments which carries with it special privileges. This is perhaps the first time in the history, of Germany such a courtesy has ever been extended to an American, therefore I deem it a most unusual honor. I have just received from the U. S. ambassador Dr. David Jayne Hill, a very warm letter of congratulation, part of which runs: “I hasten to offer to you my congratulations upon this news and especially upon the just recognition of your emi-, nent attainments. With very sincere regards I am faithfully yours, David J. Hill.
