Frederick's Statue,
Gift From Kaiser,
lnterned by u. S.
Eyesore to Patriots Dumped
From Pedestal Into Cellar
at War College
[Staf Correspondence

lotuU WV Go CONtt0'COI
WASHINGTON, April t5.-Washing-
ton witnessed an official exhibition of
hate to-day.
The Kaiser's gift to the nation in
memory of his fighting ancestor, a
bronze statue Of Frederick the Great,
was rudely plucked from it's exalted
pedestal in front of the War College
and rolled and bumped down the cellar
steps of the Army Building, where it
will no longer serve as daily irritant
to those who prefer not to eXalt Ger
many or Germans.
The official removal of the image Of
the German war lord was cheerfully
performed by crew of army engineers.
While the dethroning was in progress
army officers who have been compelled
to pass the statue as they entered the
building each day hummed 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner"
About 10 O'Clock this morning the re-
moval gang began its work. A large
frame was constructed and placed few
feet to the rear of the statue. One
end of a guide rope was placed about
the head of Frederick and heavy rope
placed around the waist, SO that block
and tackle could be used to hoist the
statue from its pedestal.
Removed to Storeroom
When everything was ready the word
was given and the soldiers began to
pull. The statue was lifted from its
pedestal and the feet, toes forward and
turned upward, famed the breeze, and
the statue was soon dangling in the air.
1t was then securely braced and tied to
the frame and removed to cold and
hat q
College.
1t was the second instance in the
history of the country that the War
Department had ordered the removal
of a statue The first was in the Rcvo-
lutionary War, when the statue Of
George III, at New York, was melted
into bullets.
1t was automatically stated that sew
eral months ago stick of dynamite
was found under the coattail of the
statue. Discussions have resulted in
the Senate and in the House of Repre-
sentatives as to the merit of allowing
the statue to remain while this coun-
try was at war with Germany. The
discussions were carried on through
out the country, and the President IS
understood to have instructed that the
statue be removed.
Suggestions for Use of Statue
Many suggestions as to the disposal
of the statue have been made. One
was that -slit be made in 1t for the
reception Of money for war work, such
as the Red Cross, Y, NJ c. A. or the
Knights of Columbus. Another sug-
gestion was that it be melted into bull
lets. as was the King George statue,
and sent back into the German lines
at the front.
The statue, which weighs 1,400
pounds, was presented to this country
in November, 1904. 1t stood ten feet
high on it's pedestal and was the first
to be erected on the War College ter

93 German PLANES
Shot Down in Dav
BY Allied Airrnen
British Wing 81 Machines
and Lose Only 12-Tons
of Bombs Dropped

LONDON, April 13.-The following
official statement on aerial operations
was issued tonight:
atmospheric conditions were favor
able Friday and a great concentration
Of our machines was effected on the
battlefront. A large number Of low
flying machines were employed in
bombing and sweeping with machine
gun fire roads packed with enemy
troops. Thirty-six tons Of bombs were
dropped and over 10000 rounds of
ammunition were fired.
"In the meantime other ormations,
flying at greater height, engaged the
enemy planes which were extremely
lively in this sector. Forty German
machines were brought down and
twenty others were brought down out
of control. Two were brought down
by gunfire. Twelve Of ours are miss
ing.
Bombs Dropped on Douai
"1ncessant bombing was carried out
between dark and dawn. Over twenty.
two tons were dropped on the Douai
railway station and roads leading to
the battlefront in the neighborhood Of
Estaires."
The intense air activity of the French
was described in Paris official state
ment to-day as follows:
"On April IL our airplanes displayed
great activity along the whole front.
particularly in the regions of the
Somme and the Disc. Our pursuit ma
chimes carried out more than $50 sor-
ties and fought 120 engagements. Eight
enemy airplanes were brought down:
twenty-three others fell within their
own lines, seriously damaged. Five
enemy captive balloons were set on
fire; five others, pierced by bullets.
were obliged to drop precipitately to
the earth.
Italians Aid Bombers
"Our bombing machines carried out
demonstrations. During the day of
April ~ and the night Of April 1913 a
total of $4,000 kilos of projectiles was
dropped in the course of these expedi-
tions, in which Italian machines took
part. The railway stations Of Jussy.
Roye, st. Quentin, Nesle, Ham, Guis-
card and Noyon, railways, cantonments
and numerous conveys in these re-
gions, as we'll as the stations at Hir-
son. Laon and Montcornet, were CO.
piously bombed. Several fires and ex-
plosions occurred"

French and British
Reinforcernents
Reaching Haig
Every Hour Lessons Ger.
many's Chance of Break
ing Through

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Both
French and British reinforcements are
reaching Haig's army in Flanders,
which now is in strong position to
meet further German attacks, Major
General James D. McLachlan, British
military attache here, said tonight:
"As things stand the Germans have
scored" said General McLachlan, "but
not so heavily as they would have liked
to have done. They have won no de-
cisive victory, and each hour that the ir
advance is delayed makes it less like
ly that they will. They are in a posi-
tion not very different from that which
they occupied at the end of the first,
and what may be called mobile, stage
of the preceding battle for Amiens.
BY their drive at Amiens the Ger
mans hoped to separate the British
from the French army Their attack
between the Ypres Canal and La Bassee
is as clearly meant to divide the Brit
ish army, roll it up and penetrate to
the coast of the English Channel. In
the battle for Amiens their attack was
stopped upon the northern portion of
the line between Arras and Albert. In
the present battle their northern flank,
while bending back the British line,
has similarly failed in it's object.
"The country between Wytschaete
and La Bassee back to Hazebrouck is
in the nature of a shallow basin sur
rounded by high ground. Into this
basin the Germans have penetrated to a
maximum depth of about ten miles and
on front of about fifteen miles be-
tween Ploegsteert Wood and La Bassee,
but they have failed to force the Brit
ish from the hills stretching west from
Wytschaete, and at the south end of their
attack have been held on the line Fes-
tubert, GiNenchy and Hulluch, and have
thus been kept from Bethune. which
was their immediate objective in that
region.
"These two failures leave them, in
spite of all their gains in the centre,
in an uncomfortably narrow salient,
dominated by higher ground in the
hands of the British.
1.-THE British are, in fact, in a strong
position to meet further attacks, which
are bound to come. Their own and
French renforcements are reaching
them, and behind them they have the
line Of hills running from Wytschaete.
ITO achieve success that will COM
pensate them for the losses incurred
by the great number of divisions Cover
twenty used in the initial attack. the
Germans will, moreover, have not only
to occupy those heights, but to press
on through the country behind, which
is undulatng and broken, and the de-
fensive qualities of which the British
commander in chief is not likely to
