An OF War.

The Figaro printed the other day an In.
teresting article on French military pic.
lures, in which, of course, DETAILLE and
DE- MELVILLE come In for their Just share
of glory. 1t Is pity that the latter died
before he could make q companion picture
to "The Last Cartridges"
Many American tourists have visited the
museum in the outskirts of Bazeilles, where
the house in which Commandment LAMBERT,
now Gen. LAMBERT, and his companions
exhausted their ammunition In desperate
resistance Of the Bavarians still stands,
just as it was at the close Of the battle Of
Sedan. There is the hole in the roof
through which the shell dropped. There
are the bullet.sprinkled walls, the splin.
tered furniture, such as 1t was, and the
old chest against which the wounded Com.
mandant leaned while the last bullets were
sent to the enemy. Crossing the threshold
of that house is like entering, so to say, the
famous canvass of DE MELVILLE.
The companion picture which Is wanting,
and the material for which was uncon-
sciously furnished some time ago by Gen.
LAMBERT himself, would DO dramatic and
powerful In the extreme. In an interview
with a Partisan journalist the General told
the story in simple and soldierly language.
He described the fury of the Bavarians over
the losses which his handful Of men had
made them suffer. When the last shot had
e fired, nothing remained but q hopeless
and desperate bayonet charge. But the
C~ommandant told his men not to attempt
it until they saw what would be his W
fate. He opened the door and appeared
Upon the threshold in face of the infuriated
soldiers. A number of them made a rush
upon him, but they were driven back by
the brave and chivalrous Bavarian officer,
who covered him with his body, and LAM.
BERT and his companions were made pris.
oners of war.
That is the simple story. Where is the
splendid picture7
