ALAS FOR HINDENBURG’S WOODEN EFFIGY.
“IT WAS CHOPPED UP FOR THE FIRE.” By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.—Sydney “ Sun ” Cable. (Received May 2, 10 a.m.) BERLIN, May 1. The Nationalists desired to celebrate von Hindenburg's election by restoring his wooden, 120 feet, effigy, erected in Berlin in war time, when patriots paid for the privilege of driving nails in it. Diligent investigation revealed that the statue was sold to an architect after the war for a shilling’s worth of paper marks. A wood merchant subsequently purchased it and cut it into firewood.
