"My family very much wanted me to be an artist, and I have travelled all over the Continent studying, but I wanted to give my life to the ser- vice of God, and I became a nun shortly after I had faken my diplomas.

During the Fleet exercises an attempt will be made to enact various scenes at sea to represent stages in both batties. As modern ships differ so widely in appearance from the older classes which were actually engaged in the battles, the Bims will be taken from a position ahead of the ships so that they will appear "end on" to the camera,

Gunfire will be almulated by firing small powder charges In the muzzles of the guns. Other small charges fired in position on deck will represent bursts of enemy shells and outbreaks of fire, while the splashes of ahells falling in the water will be produced by throwing overboard small buoyant explosive charges fired by a time fuse.

Deeds of heroism, both Austra- lians and Germans, thrilled the audience, saya the paper, that they were so carried away that they cheered and applauded when the "Emden's" boatswain continued working a gun with one hand after being mortally wounded.

Many of the scenes were sup- plied from negatives taken during the operations. Almost the only criticism, concludes the paper, is that the Australian sailors are obviously Germans.
