Jeanne PARIS, May 17. Orleans, chiefly famous because of Its defense against the English by Saint Jeanne d'Aro, recently suggested through Mayor Lavflle that the Legion of Honor should he given the city. Public officials and several newspapers commented that the siege of Orleans and Saint Jeanne defense occurred before the birth of Napoleon who founded the Legion of Honor.
