NEW GERMAN EMBASSY
TO Be BEGUN IN SPRING
Count Won Bernstorff Makes
Statement on Return
to This City.

/ Count Won Bernstorff. the German am
bassador. has returned to Washington,
| bringing with him the news that ground
probably will be broken next April for
the new Germany embassy, to be built
on S street between 21st and 22d streets
northwest.
| The ambassador declined today to be
| interviewed on the subject, but il is
understood that the building will be Of
the Italian Renaissance style OF archi-
lecture. with columns in front such
the White House has, and. it is expected.
its general character and design will
completely fit it into the Washington
scheme of building. It will be sometime
like the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Larz
Anderson on Massachusetts avenue, ex-
cept that it will not be as high as is
that house. and instead of having wings
on the front the new embassy will have
| them at the back.
Building to Cost $50O,O00.
| The German government will appro-
pirate s5ooeeo for the building this win
ter and later on an additional appro-
priation will be made for interior dec
! Grating and furnishing. The site was
some years ago.
| It is understood that there have been
| inaccuracies In the recent cable DIS
| patches from Berlin which have re-
| ported the German emperor as having
| overruled the award of the German
! foreign office commission in the mat
ter of the design for the embassy. That
| commission examined go designs for
! the embassy, submitted in a competi-
| tive manner. but there has been no
| obligation on the part of the German
| government to take the best of the de-
signs as the plans for an embassy
! building in Washington. Prizes were
awarded to the architects competing
| who designed the most artistic build
| ings. but the awarding of prizes car
ried with it no obligation to use the
designs approved.
Won Timer Successful Designer.
:, Ernst Won Timer drew the design
which was finally selected as the one
| to be used in building the embassy
The German ambassador. who was
member of the commission to select
the design. was selected by his col
leagues to present the different designs
to the German emperor for decision.
and Won liners was regarded as the
most suitable and handsomest.
Count Won Bernstorff called at the
State Department this morning to pay
his respects to Secretary Bryan, as his
first duty upon his return from his va
ca ton Countess Won BernstOrff re-
turned to Washington with the am
bassador.
