SOLD FOR A SHILLING
STATUE OF HINDENBURG. PIECES USED FOR FIREWOOD. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received May 2, 8.45 a.m. BERLIN, May I. The Nationalists desired to celebrate Hindenburg’s election to the office of president by restoring his wooden 120feet effigy that was erepted in Berlin in war time, wherein patriots paid for the privilege of driving nails.' » A diligent investigation revealed that the statue was sold to an architect after the war for a shilling’s worth of paper marks, and a wood merchant subsequently purchased it and cut it into firewood.—Sydney Stan cable.
