Turkey, but let them fight it out.

Your picture of a statue of King Arthur has a shield. We have a
photograph of a statue in a tomb at Innsbruck, but it has no
shield. Did Fischer make two statues?

I wish THE GREAT ROUND WORLD were published twice a
week.

Yours very truly,

DEAR YOUNG FRIEND:

The original statue of King Arthur had no shield, though it was evidently
intended that it should have one. Some years ago an appropriate shield was
made for it. The photographs are sometimes with it and sometimes without
it, though as the statue stands now in the church it is with the shield as
illustrated in THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.

We have heard of no fresh rising in India; the plague and the famine are
weakening the people so much that they have little spirit of revolt left.
