shall has telegraphed to the correspondent OF The
Associated Press here as follows:
The statue of Frederick the Great will be ex-
ecuted by his majesty's command. by Professor
Uphues. after a bronze statue standing in the
park grounds at Potsdam.
Professor Uphues is one OF the foremost seup-
tors of Germany. He carved the statue of Fred
erck the Great in marble in the Sieges Alice Sc
ries.

yelled at Washington member OF the HeheH-
zollern family will be present, possibly the
Crown Prince, Frederick William The idea Is
even mentioned that Emperor William himself
might be in attendance No authoritative sup
port of this suggestion. however. has been given
at Potsdam. Many members of the imperial
suite learned of Emperor Williams purpose only
when the correspondence with President Roose-
welt was published.
Professor Uphues exhibited bronze statue
ef Frederick the Great at the Paris Exposition
thereby winning medal The statue for Wash
ington will be reproduction of the one shown
in Paris. Another copy stands at the free port
of Emden.

inclined 70 disparage Emperor Williams gift
1t says that If Congress accepts it King Fred
erick's will be the only statue OF a monarch
atthe republican capital, and digs up from the

explanation of his motives is that lit was only
a bit of revenge for the malicious action of the
London court regarding DantZic. However I
did not want to go too far. for experience taught
me that one has enough enemies in the world
without lghtheartedly creating new ones"
lish we're baking his annexation of Dantzc
The "Vorwarts' adds:
King Frederick permitted trcops 20 cross
Bavarian war of succession made good rela-
items with England desirable and gave per
mission for friendly expressions. In the pres
ence OF such practical politics. of course the
American commissioners. who had been trying
to get Frederick 10 interfere for the prevention
of the seandalous traffic in men. withdrew from
Berlin with longer faces than Dem Paul from
the German Empire.
The "TagebIatt." commenting on President
Roosevelt's decision not to submit the offer OF
the statue to Congress praises the Presidents
tact in not exposing Emperor William to the
attacks OF the anti'German minority, ever ready
for hostile demonstrations"
