usual local celebrations win take place.
Every municipality Of any size In Ger
many has its Bismarck monument, ami
every year local celebrations have
taken place. and this year these win
have q special meaning and interest
The main and unique feature OF these
celebrations has been the burning of
bonhres on the top OF monumental tow

the cities Of Germany for this purpose

Bismarck died on July so, 1893 eight

and here the scheme FOR the burning
Of bonfres on Bismarck's natal day and
the erection Of memorial monuments
was first preached. An appeal was
sent 70 the students of all educational
institutions and to burg0masters and
Others to assist in the execution Of the
idea. 1t was not sufficient that a mere
load OF wood or other infammable ma
terial should be lighted 1t was neces-
sary and fitting that the FIRE should be
contained In some solid structure, and
it was proposed that Bismarck mon

be placed In such communities as de
sired It.

competition was started for q design
for the monument, and the lines upon
which the monument was to be con-

It should be massive, but simple and
without ornamentation. save that the
pedestal should bear the arms ana
motto Of the iron chancellor. In its
massiveness It should resemble him,
and in design It should be capable Of
reproduction In all sizes to suit the
means Of al communities.
The German Students association re-
solved 70 erect two monuments at its
own expense. one at Friedrichsruhe and
tie other at Strassburg Students Of
those high schools took up the matter
IN their own districts. Government
