Berlin, Oct. 18.-Emperor William
unveiled the equestrian bronze statue
Of Emperor Frederick I'm front of the
new museum Of art to-day in the pres
ence of a brilliant company Of prince
ly personages.
The Emperor, the members Of the
royal family and the other more dis
tinguished personages, after the I'M
yelling withdrew to the marble hall
within which his majesty dedicated the
building to art.
The Emperor referring to the schism
between the orthodox and impressionist
schools of German art, said:
I'm my opinion art Is partly on a
devious road that leads far away from
the true ideal Of beauty and our ar
fists should bear in mind what precious
possessions are placed I'm their hands.
Art and genius must be allowed to
draw from unknown and hidden depths,
but this does not justify the younger
artists In cutting loose from every
tradition and school. The indefatigable
zeal and holy striving with which the
older masters were vested with their
ideal Of art should present even to the
artists of this day an unattained
model, and should promote self crlti-
cism, modesty and respect for the
achievements Of others on the part Of
the younger generation"

He said the negro problem is only
phase of the greater problem of class
distinction. The greatest crime of the
United States he said is stealing, which
is manifested in the arrogation of
special privileges by the well to do
