Germany to Cast
Off Emperor's Old
Postage Stamps

BERLIN One OF the last remain
ing symbols of the old regime in Ger
many will pass away with the with
drawal of all postage stamps Of the
familiar "Germania" type on October
81 next.
This striking design. first adopted in
1900, played measurable part in
fostering the militarist movement that
brought disaster upon the Fatherland.
The original of the mail-clad figure
of Germania was Fraulein Anna Fuh-
ring OF the Imperial Opera. whose por-
traysl of the role so impressed the for
mer Kaiser that he ordered her like
ness to be placed upon the new pos
tage stamps of the empire.
Since the establishment OF the re.
public numerous protests have been
lodged against the continuance OF this
design. and now that the new indus
trial series of stamps has been COM
pleted. instructions for It's suppression
have been isued.
