BUST OF WASHINGTON
To Be Presented to This Country by
Frenchmen.

New York, May 1s.-Deseendants OF
Washington's French brethren in arms
and other Frenchmen allied to the United
States by their associations purpose pre-
senting to this country faithful reproduc-
ton of the original bust of Washington by
the sculptor. Pierre Jean David, Of Anglers,
who executed works for the Pantheon in
Paris.
The present proposal is a revival of the
idea started by a group of French men in
1928 to offer to the United States a marble
bust Of George Washington. David. who
was born at Anglers in 1888, and died III
1886, was intrusted with the execution of
the work and the result was considered
one Of his masterpieces. Unfortunately
this bust completely destroyed by fire
in 1851. The original model, however, ex-
lists at Anglers and the Comte de Rocha n
beau. the Marquis de la FaYette. the Mar
quis de Grasse and other members of the
/ committee concerned have been enabled 20
obtain a carefully executed mould from
this and bronze cast Will be made. The
ministries of foreign affairs. war and the
ravy have associated themselves with the
subscription that is being raised to give
the gift q national character.
