FAMOUS STATUE
 REPRODUCED AGAIN
Pope Plus Approves New Madonna of Loretto Which Will Be Placed
 On September 6.

Rome, Aug. 5. (By Associated Press)-The reproduction which the late Pope Benedict XIV ordered made of the famous Madonna of Loretto, is now completed. The original statue burned last year together with the altar on which it stood in the holy house at Loretto.
 Pope Plus has examined the repro duction. designed from photographs of the original finding 1t marvellous likeness. It is small black image of the Virgin and the Child. and like the original was carved from Lebanon cedar. The original was popularly believed to have been sculptured by St. Luke but the workmanship sug- gested that 1t dated from the latter half of the 18th century.
 The Pope will solemnly bless the new statue on September 9th on the occasion of the feast of the Trans hsuration after which it will be trans ferred from Rome to Loretto in one of the Vatican automobiles.
 Large pilgrimages are being organ lxed to visit the holy house.
