DETAILS OF FLIGHT OF
 ABBESS PERGE FROM BELGIUM
Eighty Gears Old, She Had Never Been Outside of the Convent Since She Entered as Novice.

Dublin, Ireland, Dec. 25.-The death which occurred recently at the con- vent at Edennine. County Wexford, of nlunity of Irish nuns of Ypres, recall ed an interesting story of her flight from Belgium during the German in- vasion The Abbess, who was . Bel gian and 80 years old, took refuge in the Irish convent after a long and tedious journey from her stricken country. In this she was accompanied by other nuns from Ypres.
 Before the German bombardment
 drove the Abbess and the other nuns
 into the world she had never been out
 side the walls of her convent since she entered it as a. novice some sixty years railway train, and it is said there was the greatest difficulty in persuading her to enter the train that carried her Ito safety.
 The nuns were unable to bring any Ithing away with them and were des- Ititute when they reached England. A Iplace was bought for the community lat Edermine. One of the members is Ia niece Of John Redmond. who has al ways taken a keen interest in the con- lmunity, and who helped them to secure their present home.
 Before leaving Ypres the nuns man Jagged to bury in a safe place theil lprecious historical possession the flag captured from the British at Fon. ltenon by the Irish brigade, then in the lservice of France. The Danes Pre- llandaises," as they were known. fled

 Many artists and students of Tur- ner have joined in the opposition to the bill. Lord D'Abernon and the trustees of the gallery have been at tackled in parliament and through the press, the trustees being accused of selecting a favorable opportunity to smuggle bill through giving them selves powers to betray their trust and buy a few more pictures which under present conditions are regard ed as unnecessary luxuries.
 But it appears that what the ob- jectors fear most is that the privi- lege thus given to the trustees will prove the entering wedge to a sys- tenn that will threaten the unique col lection of Dutch pictures.

THE ONLY COUNTRY
 BUYING WORKS OF ART
Recent Sales of Great Pictures c
 England Causing Alarm There.

London. Dec. 25-There is a pecu- liar appeal to the art world of Amer ica in the proposal now before the House of Lords to sell famous pic- lures in the National Gallery in or der to provide funds for the purchase stem the flow to the United States. America is the only country buying works of art just now. Recent sales to noted collectors in the United States of some of the great pictures in England have. alarmed the local art world.
 Bnt the proposal which authorizes the trustees to sell works of art which have been bequeathed or given for the benefit of the nation is op- ed painters and sculptors on the ground that it involves a serious breach of faith. Another objection is that it would break up the works of J. M. w. Turner, who is ranked by many as the greatest artist this coun- try has produced and the greatest landscape painter.
 In formal protest to the prime minister, a score of noted painters and | sculptors declare that the proposed powers have never yet been given te
 a similar board of trustees by any state or legislature. They say thai E the immediate result would be to dis courage prospective donors and testa- tors and that no future purchases $ could compensate the nation for tht
 destruction of the Turner collection.
 Supporters of the bill say that th'
 Turner works are redundant. are no
 appreciated and could easily be solf !, and the funds devoted to obtainins
 more wonderful masterpieces. Led b! k Lord DAbernon, the author of tn, |, bill, they assert that of 23,000 pic |, lures and drawings owned by th' |, National Gallery, 10000 are by Fur J Lner, and 5000 by artists of all othe
