“GUELPH TREASURE”
FAMOUS COLLECTION TO BE SOLD Berlin, January 1.

Thereupon the Duke offered the treasure, as well as the palace near Hanover, with a park, for half a million. The offer was estimated to be worth £BOO,OOO. The Hanover Council, on which there is a majority of Socialists and Communists, rejected the offer on the ground of economy. The collection will now be sold.
