Berlin, May 5.—The month of May
this year will be marked with black
in the annals of German advertise-
ment. North, South, East and West
decrees have gone forth ordering the
removal or destruction of advertising
signs along the railway lines and on
houses.
The decision was taken in response
to a general outcry in the press and
to resolutions passed at crowded
meetings held in all parts of the em-
pire. The rescue of the landscape
from unsightly pictures and incon-
gruous erections will, however, only
be partial, for in each instance the
local authority % to Judge whether
the advertisement may remain or not.
Advertisements on house walls in
cities and towns will not be inter-
fered with by the decrees, but will
continue to be under the supervision
of the municipal police.
