Pictures by American Painters
Tell Story of Expeditionary
Forces Activities.
GRIM REMINDER OF TRAGEDY
Among Scenes Depicted Are Ruined
French Villages Made Sacred For
ever to Americans Because of
Lives Given to Save Them.

Washington.-The story Of the
American expeditionary force is told
in pictures on the walls of the Ma
tonal museum here in a permanent
exhibit just opened to the public.
Drawn from life in paint, pen and
ink or pencil by American artists COM
missioned and sen to the front for
that purpose, the collection of nearly
800 studies detailing almost every
phase of life in the army overseas Is
spread over the walls of half a dozen
great, well-lighted rooms. 1t is a tale
of stirring action which they dis
close.
Among the scene depicted are
ruined French villages made sacred
forever to Americans because of Amer
lean blood freely given to tear them
from German hands. There are the
hOmely, appealing scenes from behind
the lines with happy-go-lucky young
STEERS of Pershing's division in billets
mixing among the people of France,
the very old and the very young peo-
ple.
trim N OF rd1euy.
Here and there are grim reminders
IF the great tragedy In groups Of hud-
lied dead In wrecked enemy trenches
over which the tide of victory had
poured. Again. half glimpsed through
n dOwnpour of rain, a %trudging, sodden
infantry column is moving onward
through a sea of mud as the artist saw
il; or an endless line of weary gun
teams drags forward the batteries to
blast the road to triumph.
At one point the artist caught and
held for his fellow countrymen the
breathless tensity of a forest outpost,
Peering through the leafy screen of his
covert toward the enemy lines. his
rifle Rugged close, with fingers
clinched over the trigger; at another
a slash of light from a ~half-opened
door has painted on the screen of night
Just a hint 1t a column, tramping on
toward battle. just a young face or
two In the line-weary, dirty, but with
jaws grim set with purpose. Again 1t
is a hospital that has gripped the art
lists imagination, a twisted. writing
form under the tumbled blanket, with
agony In every line and over it the
steady-eyed surgeon or the mercffui
figure of an army nurse.
War Implements Displayed.
In rooms around the picture display
are shown all the countless things
with which the army and the navy
dealt in the war; the guns, the bombs,
the uniforms of ally and enemy alike
captured weapons and German wal
gear of many kinds. These form a
striking setting for the epic tale the
war artists have pictured, probably the
only such record ever assembled, for
II began with the army and runs on
TO the departure of the homeward
transports at the close.
Artists who made the pictures, all of
whom held the rank of captain in the
American expeditionary force, include

If the label on your paper doesn't
