EDWARD MEMORIAL.
PROTESTS AGAINST THE SITS. TRAFALGAR SQUARE SUGGESTED; (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright,) LONDON, April 4. The scheme for the erection of the King Edward memorial facing St James' Park has aroused many protests in the newspapers and the House of Commons from those wishful of preserving the sylvan aspects of St. James* Palace. Replying to a question in the House of Commons, Mr. Dudley Ward (who represents the Office of Works in the House of Commons) promised to again suggest to the Mansion House committee the desirability of erecting Mr. MacKennal's statue in front of Admiralty Arch, in Trafalgar Square. Critics object to straightening the road and rebuilding St. James' Bridge.
