went with us. He and the Augustine
Sisters Of Charity said that they never
saw such sweet-tempered patients asI
the Russians. They were so easy tol
please, SO slow to complain, SO cheer
ful, obedient and resigned. For
any kindness they showed the deepest
gratitude. All OF them had learned
one French word. Merci, or ''Thank
you"
When Pasteur and Surgeon Depaul
were looking at the wounds an attacbe
OF the Russian Embassy came In to in
quire about his unfortunate compatri-
OTIS and to ask whether Baron Moren-
helm would be allowed 10 send them
some dainty food Of which . list was
shown. Orange marmalade was one
of the things mentioned. The patients
were toe religious to eat any food pro
hibited by the Greek Church in Lent
ami were, therefore, limited to the
vegetable kingdom. There was q
silver samovsr, or Russian kettle, in
the room bearing the arms Of the Rus
sian Embassy, and tea -caddy, with
cups, saucers, lemons and sweets Of
various kinds set round it. also saw

nineteen persons of Western Europe
had been as badly wounded a large

There have been only three rendered
