HAIG STATUE
A FURTHER CONTROVERSY I ! United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. 1 LONDON, Jan. 25Another storm has blown up over the second model of the Haig Statue. It "'ill he recollected A. E. Hardiman’s first design caused endless controversy, resulting in the artist preparing a. new model. I hough this was unanimously approved by five assessors appointed to give advice and opinion, others condemn it. All' Lansing himself prefers the first model and others describe it as “pretty pretty stuff.” Colonel Baraston, one time Haig’s piivate secretary, says: “When I saw Haidiman s first design I thought nothing could be worse. Since seeing the new model, I have realised I was wrong.” Criticism is largely confined to the horse. The first one had a short thick neck, and tlie second a long thin neck and spindle legs. Haidimun is as patient as Job, and says lie will make a third model, concerning which Mr Lansbury dee la ref, everybody ought to be pleased.
