GERMANS HAVE WAR MUSEUM
Valuable Works Of Ancient Art Saved
When French Buildings Were
Destroyed by Raiders.

Peronne, Bapaume, Lens, st. Quen-
tin and other French towns in the path
of the war, were noted for their many
works of ancient art, and many of the
most valued art treasures of France
were in those cities. Wonder has been
expressed as to what has become Of
these, and the question is answered in
magazine published in Germany, a
stray copy of which has somehow
reached American hands.
Most of the art objects could never
be replaced, especially those in st.
quentin, where some of the most beau
tlful buildings were destroyed. But
1t seems that the Germans decided to
save these art treasures and long &C.
count Is given in the magazine Of the
efforts made, even under fire, to pack
and carry away a famous collection of
pastels, numerous paintings of value
and the wonderful painted glass of the
Gothic cathedral. The question of
housing these treasures was solved by
taking them to Maubeuge and there
tearing down buildings and from the
material erecting a museum in which
the articles were put on display.
There is description of many of
the historic productions and a general
sense of satisfaction expressed that
German culture had added them to the
esthetic life of Germany, where it was
planned, they would eventually be TAX
en-. The cOmplacent announcement is
made that the museum is opened both
to the military and the French public,
but it is principally desl gned for the
recreation of the army, so that after
hard days of toll they might find here
an opportunity to refresh themselves.
1t is museum that has been saved
from the smoke and the ruins of the
catastrophe. War and culture, which
try to avoid each other, meet here"
it is said, "and they have been brought
together by the artistic instincts of
German barbarians."
This reference to barbarians is, of
course, writ sarcastic" but it is to be
noticed that the innumerable charges
and proofs of barbarity are not met.
Art products may be destroyed but
the proofs OF barbaric deeds will stand.

While many women in the audience wore

raped skirts, and waists made elaborate
and comfortable for indoor use, by thin
sleeves and bodice finishings of net or

smart and becoming. Handsome long
oats were worn by nearly everyone, and
