THE BLUE DEVILS OF FRANCE. Their Defense of GerbeVilIer Described
 By Noted War Correspondent.
fsnecial to The Bulletin.

Washington D. C., May PA strik- ing pen picture of the f8lue Devils" of France, some of whom have just ar rived in America, is given in a com munication to the National Geographic Society from Harriet Chalmers Adams, the motel traveller and war corre- spondent. A part of Mrs. Adams communication is issued by the So- ciety in the form of war geography bulletin. as follows:
 "Gerbeviller, the bare skeleton of a town in the Foul sector, where the Americans are holding their share of the Western battle line, is the Pompeii of France Pompeii was wrecked by the might of God; this town by hu- man hate. To reach the most spectral ruins I saw in all France we crossed bridge which will flame in history, the one held by the 75 chasseurs.
 We have an especial interest in the chasseurs, for they have been training our American boys at the front. No soldiers of France are as picturesque as these sunburnt, fiery eyed men of the Alpine and Pyrenean heights, who have left the stain of their loyal blood on every frontier they have touched. The German call them the blue devils, and say they can run faster than the chamois. but it is the Boche who rups when they come his wy. They are a merry, care-free lot I heard a story of one who fired in kneeling posi- ton instead of lying fiat on the ground. When asked by a fellow sol dier why he was so foolhardy, he ex- plained that he had a bottle of wine in his pocket and it had no cork
 During the Battle of Lorraine 75 chasseurs were posted at the bridge which leads to Gerbeviller. As the German column hove in sight they tore up the pavement, threw breastworks across. the bridge and stationed thei1 machine guns. This was in the early morning. At four that afternoon . lone chasseur fired the last round oi

Only one building in the town stands-the humble little hospiee which shelters Sister Julie, one of the great heroines of France.
 We rang the doorbell and a Sister of Mercy ushered us into narrow hallway. and then into a little sitting room with oil-cloth on the table, and a few stiff-backed chairs. There was a battered organ and a1 ancient chest and two pictures of religious subjects on the wall I can see every detail even now. for this was the setting of the woman who defied the whole Ger man army.
