WAR MAKES
 ARMY NURSE CENTRAL FIGURE.

The war correspondents in the far east have had something to say about the fal- lacy of the fragile women of Japan, which has been dispelled by their heroism and their ability as nurses in the army hospi- tals and the perfecting of these organiza- tions for the immediate relief of wounded Japanese soldiers.
 A Red Cross organza tion was perfected some weeks ago,s and in addition to the Japanese nurses, Red Cross workers from this country and abroad have offered their services. a number of them having reached Osaka. the port where disabled Japanese troops are sent

 With the army nurse again a central figure, the part played by the heroic women who went to the front during the Spanish war and those who remained in the fever stricken camps at home seems to have awakened an appreciation of her real service to her country. The trained nurse who volunteers to go to the front risks as much and her sacrifices are none the less than those of the men in khaki uniforms following their flag. The dis

This assistance given MT. DeLeon by Blr- mingham talent makes the latest produc- ton of the Alabama author to some ex- tent home book.
 As to the publisher and the date of issue MT. DeLeon yesterday said:
 My story of the origin and discovery of The Cradle of the Louisiana Pur- chase" is not yet finished. There are many little points to be definitely settled before 1t is proper to announce anything about It. These I expect, will be com pleted within a few weeks, and the house that is to issue the book will sbeyond all doubt, make it widely and clearly heard from in few weeks after. No, emphatically reiterate, as l said in an interview months ago, it is not a histor- ical novel, in any popuarly accepted sense of that term. It is merely a TO- nance; founded upon history; and hope not distorting it."

FLORRIE w, PINCHARD'S
 SUCCESS AS A WRITER
Something of the Work of the Ameri- can Army Nurses Who Have Gone tc Japan-Society at
 the Close of Lent.
BY ANNIE KENDRlck WALKER.

It is learned that For God and St Louis: The Romance of the Cradle of the Louisiana Purchase'--the novel that MT. DeLeon came to Birmingham to complete has received its final touches from his hands.
 It is understood that one of the most Accomplished copyists in the city is now busy transcribing the revised manuscript. This will again be carefully reread to the iauthor by Mrs. C1isby; the ruthless "blue pencil" will be put Into the fair copy, wherever 1t seems to add strengthen or abhrevate to good effect. Then, when made as nearly like his intent as he can hcompass, MT. DeLeon will send the ldraught of the romance to the publisher. 1It will be issued so soon as the details lof style, form and especially illustration are definitely arranged for.
 The few persons who know the details Aof the locale, plot and style of For God land St. Louis; The Romance of the Cra- Idle" assert that It is destined to be an Immediate and emphatic success. This lhas been achieved by more than one of its lauthor's previous works; and he has neV- Ter before had so rich, new and romantic a field; nor one as he himself said recent Yi1y, so wholly congenial to his tastes and ao his life study. Moreover, the theme Is lwholly timely for the eyes of all readers lare now seeking whatever is new and pie huresque about the Louisiana Purchase i This novel. it is said, will turn a search flight into the darkest and most unknown tcorners of history-especially of the orig hn, discovery and beginning of that great eegnnent of the union bought from France a century ago. For the story, MT. De- hIeon says, is literally that of ''The Cra- kdle;" entering the Gulf of Mexico with IHhe first French under Ibervile and Bien- fvllle: covering a decade of romantic hs- kory, and ending in the moss-draped and khrub-scented wilderness. before anyone lof it's elder cities more than k1reamed of
 i Tn all of this is rich material for a EEreater success than any it's author has lyet scored: and 1t will be somewhat a sim lzular coincidence if the two most success ,ful novels of decade were written In Birmingham It naturally recurs that Miss Mary Johnston was a Birmingham girl when she thought out and wrote ''To Have and To Hold MT DeLeon came to the most progressive city of his state, with his novel but partly completetd' and the six weeks he has so far passed here have been devoted to it. Here he has pol ished and revised it. and weeks still will be given to its revision and possible re- constructing
 Even more direct connection with this city is in the fact that the author-wholly

cipline and the severe nervous strain are considered equally as great and since the army nurse has responsibilities akin to those of the soldier her training is equal ly as thorough.
 During the Spanish war Alabama gave in addition to her full quota of soldiers a young army nurse who distinguished her self at the front. Miss Annie Wheeler was the only Alabama woman who saw army service. and it is said by those who were with her in the camps and hospitals of the United States army that she was called the Angel of Mercy" because of her constant consideration and self sac rifce for others. She was idolized by the soldiers and it Is not surprising that their admiration and devotion led some of the war correspondents into "stories'' of love and romance. when there was so much evidence against the wounded" young soldier whose eyes turning from his flag met those of the gentle nurse.
 Miss Wheeler has spent a greater part of the winter north. She and her father, General Wheeler, were at the Waldorf for several weeks and later went for a visit to West Point Miss Wheeler was also a guest at the St Thomas Rectory and has divided her time among her New York friends.
 It is said that the warmest friendship exists between Miss Wheeler and Miss Helen Gould, and the former has fre- quently visited Miss Gould at her home on the Hudson. The Wheelers have a large country estate in Alabama.
 The newspapers recently contained an account of a fire at Wheeler which all most totally destroyed the village, The home of General Wheeler Is some distance from the station and fortunately was in no danger of the flames.
