|LOAN CANTONMENT
IN FIFTH REGIMENT
Magnificent Spectacle lover There"
Has Been ArtisticaIly Planned.

The decorative scheme at the Fifth
Regiment Armory at Baltimore,
where "Over There" the great Lib
erty Loan Cantonment is to be held,
beginning Saturday, March 80, will
be one of the most attractive fea-
lures of the big show. This work is
in charge of Mr.. William Gordon
Beeche, who looks after the archi-
tectural part, and Mr.. Edward Berge,
the well-known sculptor, who is per-
sonally making the models which
will be shown. For several days
they have been devoting the greater
part of their time in perfecting de-
| tails.
The nucleus around which this
great international exhibition has
been planned consists of large and
interesting collection of Canadian
and French War Trophies and relics,
both sacred and secular.
In addition to the above, the
several arms of the service and the
various industries and enterprises in
the United States, directly connected
with the prosecution of the war, have
been featured.
In seeking a suitable motif, the
Battlefield of France and Belgium"
Directly through this scene of de-
vastation, lies broad, straight road
at the far end of which stands an al
tar surmounted by replica of Bart
koldi.s great statue and tcsated- n 8
manner to symbolic the Spirit of
Liberty.
Above the entrance of this road,
floats the Stars and Stripes fianked
by the standards of France and
Great Britain.
Beneath these flags and over this
road, America and her Allies must
advance in order to reach the Lib
erty beyond; and the beacon, held
aloft, is supposed to life them above
the temporal terrors of war.
Thanking this scene, as buttresses
of the entire scheme, are ranged the
arms of service, and war industries
above mentioned.
A night effect has been sought, and
to this end sky of deep blue, thru
which twinkle numerous stars, rows
of stately cedar trees and masses of
natural shrubbery have been utiliz-
ed to complete the illusion.
Lieutenant M. A. Leahy, U. S. Ma
Wy, stationed in Baltimore, has been
| notified by the Navy Department that
the Navy Panorama shown at the
Panama Exposition, San Francisco,
and which aroused so much interest
there, will be sent to Baltimore to

bition. This Panorama is 35 feet in
diameter and is kept in motion on

electric motor. The Panorama has
been sent to New York to be touched
up and when it comes to Baltimore
it will be in as good condition as it
originally was. The Navy Depart
