LONDON, England, Jan. 16, 1915. —(By mall i- -Sister Julie is one of the fifty thousand nuns France exiled during the churrh troubles. "It appears that the good Lord would have us know more ol' His world, my sisters," said Sister Julie, and parked a prayer hook, her Sunday haliit and some linen into a shabby Glad stone bag. W'Hr found la Patrle unprepared, without nurses or red cross equipment. Repulsed at Motis, overwhelmed at Rhelms, wounded soldiers of France lay untended where they fell. Fever, gangrene, lockjaw became epidemic. Shamefacedly the minister of war invited the nun-nurses to return. Six hours later the first contingent stood In the war office, calm, smiling -ready for Instant duty. "It appears that we may serve God and our country in this crisis," said Sister Julie. "On the Marne'.' Certainly, Monsieur, we thank you and go at once." They went- -and stayed, organizing their one-nurse hos pitals Just-back of the battle front. For days the ding-dong of battle raged around the ruined, blameless villages. For days, Sister Julie, alone and unprotected in an ambulance station in a deserted hamlet, attended her helpless, shot-torn patients as the maelstrom of war stormed uliont them. Once Sister Julie found it necessary to don her fresh blue apron, lock the ilooi- and go out and warn the German general to turn his nun- away from her hospital! But. the tide of war rolled back. The (iermans were driven pellntell from the Marne. The French soldiers came dashing through, sister Julie had time merely to nod cheerfully at them through the window. One day a glittering squadron of French cavalry clattered through the shell-swept street and stopped in front of Sister Julie's ambulance station. "Sister," announced the captain, "we are going to ask a favor. Will you permit that we parade past you?" Her quiet smile gave consent. The captain turned In the saddle to address his troop of horse. "My friends." he Haiti, "when we were here in August we saw flames leap to the sky. You can see now what they did. But In the deserted village, in the midst of the flames, under the hall of shells. ONK WOMAN REMAINED AT HER POST OF MERCY. That was Sister Julie. "The president of the republic is about to pin the Cross of .Courage on her veil. Salute her! We are to have the honor of parading before tier. Young men, look at her well. Soon you will again be under fire. When that times comes, think of her, that like her you may stick to your post." He paused. They waited for the heroic nurse to speak. "Why, bless you all, what else hw I to do?" asked Hister Julie! tentions were excellent and In some measure justified by cir cumstances, but declared that such a peace would be more dis astrous to Germany than utter de feat at the hands of the allies."
