THE GUELPH TREASURE
TO BE SOLD TO DEALERS GERMAN PRESS INDIGNANT Press Association—By Telogra>.b -To jyrigh l : BERLIN, January 1. (Received January 2, at 9.5 a.m.) The ex-Kaiser’s son-in-law, Duke Ernst of Brunswick, recently decided to sell to Gorman art dealers for £500,000 the famous collection of medieval works of ecclesiastical art known as the Guelph Treasure. The news was received with indignant protests from the whole of the German Press, which fears resale to America, upon which the duke offered the treasure, as well as the palace near Hanover with its park, to the people for £500,000. The offer is estimated to be worth £BOO,OOO. The Hanover Council, on which there are a majority of Socialists and Communists, rejected the offer on the ground of economy; therefore the collection will now be sold.
