The original letter is still treasured
in the city's archives, and until a
month after America had declared
war on Germany, a handsome steel
engraving of Bismarck's favorite por-
trait occupied a prominent place in
the city hall. Then it mysteriously
disappeared, and no one admits
knowledge Of it's whereabouts.
Defenders of the name Bismarck
assert hat it is distinctive, that it is
reminiscent Of a truly great man who
cannot be charged with having pre-
cipitated the present war, and who.
had he been alive, probably would
have averted it, and that to change
the name Of the capital city of North
