as soon as the clause barring sisters OF

this splendid opportunity Of establish

Mr. Bartlett, president OF the National
Sculpture Society. has been commits
stoned by the Secretary OF the Treasury
TO alter the statue OF Germauia on the
Custom House in New York into one
representing Belgium. The casque is TO
be changed from that OF a Teutonic
Valkyr, one OF the maidens OF Morse
mythology. who carried the souls of the
dead to VaIhala. into the headdrcss Of
the Belgian goddess Of liberty. The
HohenZollern eagle. the black one, which
now spreads its wing across the front
of the statue. will be cut OF and the lion
Of Belgium will be substituted. The
right hand. which holds the branch OF
a tree representing German victory will
wave a bronze torch OF victory in the
future. And the shield. which bears the
name "KieI." the hiding place OF the
German feet since the battle OF Jutland.
will in future bear the name Antwerp"
All this transformation Mr.. Bartlett
promises to accomplish without hurting
the statue and with due regard for the
interests and feelings OF the sculptor.
He. Albert Jaegers, was asked to make
the change and refused to do 1t. Mr..
Jaegers Is an American citizen, but was
before the war a prominent member OF

decorated by the Kaiser and created a
