Berlin, Nov. 20. - Vandals have again broken off parts of five of the statutes of the Sieges Alee, the historical series erected by Emperor William at his personal expense. The statues themselves were not harmed, as they stood out of the reach of the depredator, but parts of the decoration were broken, apparently by hammer blows. A previous mutilation occurred in 1899 and though a large reward was offered the culprit was never caught.
