 All the great sacrifices made by the German troops have proved futile. but still tho invaders continue their efforts Whenever the allies advance they main tain their position. They have occupied the village of Passchendaele, II miles northeast of Ypres, after terrific fight ing.
 Around La Basse the engagement continues serious but the allies have not ceased advancing, though slowly Fierce fighting Is progressing in the neighborhood of Lens and Arras. The allies In the vicinity of Lequesnoy En- Senterre are strongly entrenched and have successfully beaten off the efforts of the Germans to make a breach in their lines.

When the poem in it's turn reached tho frozen plains of the Crimea it's effect upon the war-weary soldiers was elcctri- cal.

Poems Read on BattlefieIds

Perhaps no poem which ever issued from the press was more eagerly bought and read than Sir Walter Scotts Lady of the Lake," In palace and cottage it was devoured with the eagerness of an exciting novel, and even on the battlefield it was welcomed as an agury of victory, says Tit-Bits When the first copy reached Wellington's famous Lines of Torres Vedras-it appeared in lSlo, right in tn emiddle of the peninsular war-5ir Adam Ferguson was posted with his company on a very exposed spot raked by the enemy's fire. The men were or dered to lie flat on the ground, and while they kept this attitude their captain read to them the description of the battle in Canto VI of the poem. So excited did 1t mak ethe prostrate soldiers that every time the enemys heavy shot struck the bank above, the reading was interrupted by a shout of triumph from the listening soldiers. Surely never was poem read in more dramatic circumstances.
 Yet if the oft-told story of Wolfe recit- ing Grays "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" is true, 1t beats the forego- ing, as the Yankees say, ito frazzle. . Think of the dark and silent highway of the St. Lawrence river the boat c T. taining General Wolfe and his officers, the muffled oars silent as the flight of ,ar owl, and the low. distinct. thrilling voice of heman who was indeed going to vic tory and death and immortal glory speak ing the lines:
 The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power
 And all that beauty all that wealth Ger
 gave,
 Await alike the inevitable hour
 The paths of glory lead but to the grave
 Like all good stories, this has been strenuously denied, but there Is much evil dence for it's truth. and for the generals comment when he had finished: Gentle men, I would rather have written that poem than I would take Quebec tomor- row.
 When the news of the famous charge of t'se Light brigade at Balaclava reacfed this country the imagination and patriotic fervour of great poet was stirred an1 Alfred Tennyson, in white heat If in spiration, penned His immortal ode,
