painting has not the distinguished his
tory of the first mentioned. The Pass
ing Regiment" which was painted in
1875, was exhibited in the Paris ex-
position, where it received high praise.
Later it was exhibited in Brussels,
when it was purchased for the Corcoran
Gallery of Art. Since then it has been
in Washington, with the exception of a
short time, when it was loaned for the
Exhibition Universelle, in Paris.
In addition to these paintings is an
oil, mentioned before, showing a gem
eral of the Napoleonic wars and his
staff. 1t is worthy of note that the
French cuirassier has clung to his
breastplate of steel through a century.

inspired by the struggle subsequent to
the surrender of Gen Bazaine and Ma

ed by French troops ip the small VIII

No work of Mefssonier appears In the
collection of war pietWpes- a fact which
the art lovers of Washington may sin
cerely regret. He is noted for his Won
derful attention to detail. There is no
effort to tempt the ina gination by sug-
gestion. Everything is drawn in and
painted with great accuracy. In all Of
Meissonier's pictures the smallest de-

there appeared a photograph showing
three horsemen still wearing this an
cient form of protection. SO utterly
useless against the modern high pow
cred bullet.
In the large room where the water
colors are exhibited the visitor sees
the water color of Alphonse de Neu-
vile entitled "Champigny." This was
one of the minor engagements during
the winter campaign against the Ger
man invaders. The whole picture is
startlingly white because of De Neu-
ville's treatment of the snow, as one
of the employees in the gallery ex-
planned. Certain pigments frequently
Evening star., 1914-10-18

used have no part in the making of
the painting.
The picture gives an impression of
vast distances. The whole village
stretches cut before the eye, with the
red roofs in vivid contrast against the
snow. This same a1.preyaiIing white
ness also brings into sharp relief the
red and blue figures CT the soldiers who
are scrambling through fences to the
attack. ON the right one sees great
hole torn in the walls of the little
farmhouse. 1t is a grim warning.
"ChampiGny" was one of the later
paintings of De Neuville. 1t was fin
fshed in 1882, three years before the
artists death.
Nearly all the paintings of Detaille
and De Neuville which relate to the

become when it is recalled that the
French army is today wearing the al
most same picturesque uniform of
bright colors that it had in 1870.
In the Corcoran Gallery of Art there
are four paintings bearing upon the
struggle which was the forerunner of
the European war of today. Three of
the paintings are by the French school
of military painters. The fourth-not
a war picture-nevertheless recalls the
Franco-Prussian war. 1t is a wonder

foundations for the German empire of

In number of pictures. the French
painter. Jean Baptiste Edouard Detaille,
leads. Two of his works. relating to
incidents in the war of 1S70-1S71, are
in the gallery. Besides these, there is
a painting of a general of Napoleon's
era.
The more pretentious of these pic
lures Is the famous painting entitled
The Passing Regiment" 1t shows
long, muddy, dismal street. down
which the troops. giant drum major
at the head, are coming. The at
mosphere of the scene is depressing.
Cold rain and sleet are falling from an
ominous gray sky overhead. Umbrel-
las appraised by the spectators add to
arches the half-melted snow still
clings. Even the jaunty youngster
who trots ahead of the regiment fails
to relieve the darkness. One feels that
of sorest trial. The nearest arch is
Port Martin and behind il is the Port
Denis. It is noticeable that there is
but little white in the picture. The
only relief.
When Detaille painted this picture he
took the liberty of putting upon the
canvas not only picture of himself
but of his teacher. Jean Louis Ernest
Meissonier, originator If the school
of little masters; Alphonse Marie de
Neuville and several other friends. The
wonderful part of the painting is the
strict attention to detail which the
artist gives. This is Characteristic of
the Meissonfer school.
This is the uniform of France today.
Remove the 'stovepipe" hats of the
spectators and the painting might be
of the present struggle.

French Cuirassiers Bringing in Ba-
varian Prisoners" is the title of De-
taille's other picture in the Corcoran
Gallery. It is considerably smaller than
the picture of the marching regiment,
which is SO by so inches square. AL
though the painting is a water color it
has the richness of an oil painting. One
critic in the Corcoran Gallery recently
said:
IF it wasn't for the sky that picture
would deceive almost any one. The
depth of color and the vivid contrast
make it seem impossible that it is not
in oil"
Much interest in this picture attaches
to the expressions on the faces both OF
captors and prisoners. The steei-clad
cuirassiers are grimly determined, evil

Everything was done with the utmost
secrecy. A huge coach was obtained and
prepared, ostensibly for the journey Of
a Russian lady of rank. Not soul in
Paris outside the secret had the slight
est suspicion on that night when, after
midnight, the king and all his family, in
various disguises. stole separately from
the back doors of the palace and made
their several ways to the coach waiting
in the shadows of back street. After
various mishaps they all found their
way thither and, driven by their trust

border and safety.
All through the night, all through the
next day the great coach rolled on, pain
fully slow. considering the occasion. But
it was heavily laden with the baggage
of the queen who, even under those des-
perate circumstances. could not deny
herself her many royal luxuries
About sunset in the evening they
pulled up at small village to change
horses. AS they sat hidden from view
in the depths of the coach the son Of
an innkeeper caught glimpse of
Louis face and recognized him. Aston
ishment held him until the coach was
we'll on its way; then, realizing that the
king was fleeing from France. he sum-
moned two or three young countrymen,
mounted horses, and by short cuts
through woods and bypaths they reached
Narennes just before midnight and
few minutes ahead of the coach.
Here the young innkeeper. now famous
In French history, at once aroused the
town. Carts were overturned upon
bridge, thus blocking the road and,
when the coach was halted, the unfor-
tunate royal family was seized and made
prisoners by these countrymen without
the slightest warrant of authority. They
were taken to an inn where they were
kept during the night, and next morning
escorted by the whole countryside back
to Paris-never to be free again this
side of the guillotine.
And, even while they were being ar
rested at Varennes and all through the
night, while they were held at the inn,
there was waiting impatient in the dark
ness on the hill a quarter of mile be-
yond, the first of the martial escorts
that were to convey them to safety. A

GAMING THE CULPRIT.
The Marks It Leaves Look Worse Than
the Whaling Feels.

In a London police court recently a
teacher in a public school was prose-
cuted for assaulting a pupil by Gaming
him. The magistrate decided that he
had not used undue violence and there
fore discharged the master.
In this case the father of the boy
who had been caned took him to a
physician on the evening of the day
of his castigatiOn and this doctor found
about fifteen wheals on the lads back.
This was evidence of severe punish
ment, but the magistrate considered it
was not too severe for the offense
which had caused it, and said that
parents had formed an exaggerated
opinion of the amount of force that
had been used.
Commenting on this the London Ian
Get says
a blow from cane causes at the
time an appreciabe amount of pain
(which, by the way. is what it is in.
tended TO don. but it leaves behind a
mark quite out Of proportion in its
formidable character to the amount of
suffering which it causes after the first
sting has been endured. If any one
doubts this, having perhaps avoided
the opportunity to observe it in the
course of an exemplary bOyhood, the
experiment is easily made Any small
boy will be willing to do his share by
inflicting upon the seeker after truth
a sharp cut or two, the results of
which will no doubt be distinctly felt
for time, but only for about an hour,
while there will be visible on the well
protected and tender skin of the back
for some days wheals which would
harrow the heart of any mother"
In other words, boys back after a
