Tailefer played at Hastings, that Ro-

filled when he found the imprisoned
Richard Occur de Lion in an Austrian
castle is being played in the present
war by Theodore Botrel, the Breton
poet, who has been sent to the fight

of war, to sing and recite patriotic and
warlike chansons to the French SOL
diers, to inspire them to mighty deeds
For the last month or more the
picturesque Breton singer with his
sleek hair, his wide hat brim, his
flying ribbon and voluminous velvet
breeches, looking for all the world like
the painted figure on piece of Breton
pottery, has been travelling, staff in
hand, from camp to camp. entertaining
the fighting men of France with stir
ring ballads. Botrels work smacks
of ancient warfare and its customs

proved their value on several occa-

The soldiers are gathered together

ally insecure platform is rugged up
and Botrel stands forth to recite his
songs, some in the Breton dialect,
others in French, but all touched with
the lyric fame that carries simple
words and simple thoughts straight
to the hearts of the hearers.
Botrel's inspiration is not OF the
kind that scars high and far but here,
face to face with the troops who are
bearing themselves so CALAMITY in the
east. he has found again the fire of his
earlier days and the flame of patriot
ism burns bright and strong in these
metrical chants which he utters with
touching simplicity and childlike
earnestness.
The war bard is filling a useful role:
he helps to promote cheerfulness and
optimism. and does much to relieve
the nonotony of life in a fort. He
cannot complain of monotony. Since
