A GREAT PAINTING
Lieut. Montgomery Gives Graphic
Description of French War Pic-
ture 360 Feet by 45 Feet in Size. —
6000 Separate Heroes Painted bn
Canvas.
April 10, 1919
Dear Billy,
Am now at the Forwarding Camp
about six kilometers south of Le Mans.
We came here from Maisoncelles on last
Thursday. It is not as pleasant her: in
some respects as in our former place,
but we shall likely leave before the 2sth
of April.
I believe that in my last letter I said
that I would tell you about the ** Pan-
theon de la Guerre” which I had seen |
during my visit to Paris. This
huge painting—45 feet in height and!
360 feet in length—or rather I should |
say in circumference, as the canvas is |
hung on the wall of a circular building
and is joined together to make one con-
tinuous scene, and is viewed from sever-
al platforms erected in the middle,
This great work, inspired by the war,
of course, was conceived by a great |
French artist M. Pierre Canier-Belleuse, |
as a patriotic tribute on the part of the |
artists of France to those who had
tinguished themselves in the war
France and the Allies, He and another, |
Gergnet, painted all the portraits which |
ppear in the picture—nearly 6000 in|
number. With the remainder of the|

Lieut. W. E. Montgomery, former for
ester at Potters Mills, has another inter-
esting letter in this issue which he has
just written from France. It is descrip
tive of a mammoth war painting 1360
feet in length by 45 feet in height. The
panting was done by France's most
distinguished artists, and is a master
piece. Forester Montgomery has gone
into detail in his description of it. Ia
fact, a magazite article could hardly
treat the description in better style than
has come from Lieut, Montgomery's pen
in a letter to a friend at home. The let
