HINDENBURG’S WOODEN EFFIGY. CUT UP INTO FIREWOOD. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) . (Received May 2, 8.45 a.m.) BERLIN, May 1. The Nationalists desired to celebrate - Hindenburg’s election by restoring his 120 feet high wooden effigy, which was erected in Berlin in war time, and in which patriots paid for the privilege of driving nails. Diligent investigation, however, revealed that the statue had been 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.
