No Peace in Sight as Bonnat Masterpiece Leaves Seattle
The Seattle art world turns with mystery over the disappearance of Leon Bonnat's Samson and the Lion, a $35,000 canvas belonging to Harry Whitney Treat. Bonnat's old age prompts a government request to view the piece, now in France on a three month leave. Treat considers selling to France as the government seeks the work for a national gallery. Meanwhile British War Secretary David Lloyd-George states there is no end to the war in sight, urging continued fighting for fair play.
