LOUVAIN INSCRIPTION IS PLACED OBSCURELY Correspondence of the Assoclated Press. LOUVAIN, Belgium.—The much- assailed inscription chosen for the new Louvian library, “Destroyed by Teutonic fury, restored by American gifts,” is so placed on the structure that it will not be readily visible to the casual observer. Many Americans had objected to the inscription as perpetuating World War hatreds. The legend will'be in Latin, worked into the frieze so that even when the building s completed it will be nearly concealed from public view, and not decipherable to any one who does not study carefully the elaborately orna- mented front. Despite the belief of some subscrib- ers to the library fund that the in- scription was too strongly flavored with wartime sentiment, no change has been made in it. OLYMPIA CAFE 1368 Euclid St. N.W.
