BUST OF KAISER
BURIED IN MUD
,By Associated Press,

\
AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPA
TON, Jan. 3.-In Mayen. west OF Cob
lenz, where the American third army
had its headquarters before moving to
Coblenz, a lifesized bronze bust OF
former emperor William for years
stood in little park near the center
OF the town. During the war. when
German newspapers reported victories
the bust was decorated with wreaths
and the pedestal was swathed with the
German flag. Always during the four
years of the war the little park was
carefully tended.
With the abdication OF the emperor
the civilians of Mayen rather lost in
terest in the village park and the en-
peror's bust-and then the Americans
came. But the Americans paid little
attention to the statue and the bust
looked down upon thousands OF fnfan-
trymen as they passed through Mayen
on the way to the Rhine. For three
weeks with Americans billeted in near
ly every house in Mayen the bust oc-
cupied it's usual place.
With the coming of New Years
morning the bust and pedestal disap-
peared. Down the road leading to a
creek was trail in the mud as il
something had been dragged along at
the end of rope.
