UNEE FINE ARTIST, |Greatest New World Battlefield DAUBS JAIL CELLS Gets Himsell Arrested and| Paints Temporary “Homes” Indianapolis, Ind., July 5 (UP)— | A 7T9-year-old artist, who in Mis| vouth painted portraits of fumous | women, is daubing the ironwo of | the county jail here today—a pris. oner hecause no other place will | take him in. \ The painter is Albert Rlease, \\hn‘ won his way to success with oil flnd‘ water color—painted himself into | six terms in federal penitentiaries | and now goes from state to state | painting his ars out in the only “places that wil ve him a job—jails in the towns where he is arrested.

For years army officers | | from many countries have visited | the place to study trench warfare, Many of the tactics used by both |sides in the world war grew out of | iessons learned from the confiict at | Petersburg. The use of mines and | countermines, the construction of | "support trenches the impregnability | of an entrenched position to assauit | without long artillery preparation— | these and many other points were | made familiar to military men by the battles here. | The park will consist of a rem- bling stretch of land taking in the two main lines of trenches, with a broad highway running along the ‘no man’s land” between them. Side roads will lead to other points of interest. The great tunnel which federal soldiers dug before the famous “battle of the crater” will be made accessible to visitors, as will | whole networks of other tunnels and dugouts constructed on both sides of the line, Most interesting, in the eyes of tourists, probably, will be the tun- nel that led to the crater. | In July, 1864, Federal troops dng‘ a shaft 541 feet long, leading di rectly under the Confederate lines.
