TO BUILD A NEW EMBASSY
Germany to Erect Building In WASH
ington to Cost at Least
$5Oo,OOO.

A new German embassy, which is
to be erected in Washington in the
near future, is to cost at least five
hundred thousand dollars. The build
ing will be among the most elaborate
and complete in any capital in the
world. The site contains 81, 900 square
feet, and elaborate landscape garden
ing is contemplated.
1t is announced that the embassy
will be constructed from materials
gotten in the United States, be-
cause materials exactly suited for the
building can be obtained here. Prac-
tically all the ornamenting will be
done by German experts, especially
brought over for that purpose.
1t is planned to have the building
contain sufficient rooms for the chan
cellerie, SO that there will be no ne
cessity for breaking the architectural
design of the building offices in near
by buildings. There will also be a
large ballroom. large drawing room,
a magnificent study for the embassa-
dor and other rooms suited to a COM
bination residence and official head
quarters of the German ambassador.
