Harry Lauder War Experience.

Springfield RcpubhCan
In this era of ''canned music no
home is without records which repro
ducc the Scottish ballads sung BIZ Harry
Lauder. That has availcd to give inter
national knowledge OF him, quite apart
from his personal appearance before
countless audiences. The genial old come
dian is a universal favorite, and the
news that Harry Lauder 5 son, John, had
been killed III France touched MANY
hearts. Word Of this bereavement came
while Lauder was singing in the music
hall IN London. On leaving the stage he
faced this overwhelming blow. He
rushed to France, and there heard the
story of how his boy had turned to God
IN the trenches and how brayeIy he died.
Then Lauder FASTENED to comfort his
wife at his Scottish home, where a good
old dominic went to console him. He
found Lauder i'll an armchair by the fire
place. All, said the singer, the loss

pals, my boy and /, and if you could have
seen that little white cross in France
| You might imagine a little of the ache

| tlness that came into my life. When a
great blow like that hits man he takes
three roads He may give way to de
spair, sour on the world and become :
Crouch. He may try to drown his sorrow
/ i'll drink and become wreck, or he
may turn to God. | have chostn my road

That is why Harry Lauder has beer
singing and talking to the soldiers ii
