General Pershing’s War Map.

In installing General Pershing’s war map in the old National Museum building in Washington, the commander’s room at the front just as it looked when the map was in actual use, is being reproduced as a setting. Here will be the chairs used by the general and his aids while they studied the map, which changed hourly, night and day, as reports came in and w.ere recorded. The table- at which the officers looked over documents will stand as it used to at one side, and the walls will be covered with the identical lineoleum that was a background for the map. The map was brought over in pieces now joined together, and the conventional design of the lineoleum is said to give an odd kitchenlike domesticity to the room in which General Pershing watched history writing itself in a very'literal sense on the w’all.
