DEVIOUS WITH DEATH"

Readers of The Sun who have a taste for the
unusual, the remarkable or the wonderful, will
appreciate the poem here printed. Save tread
it to friends. The mental picture that il awakens
is far beyond what any other poem of the wal
can do. II is masterpiece. For the benefit of
such readers as are not yet acquainted with the
circumstances of this wonderful stroke of genius
The Sun is glad TO tell the story.
Alan Seeger was young American who en-.
listed in the French Foreign Legion in 1915. He
went through some Of the most severe battles OF
the war, and wrote poetry in the trenches. Az
that time the great drive of the spring of l9tt
was talked about, and young Seeger had pre-
sentiment that he would not survive IT,
He accordingly wrote the poem and mailed il
TO friend in America. In the spring Of 1915
Seeger was killed in battle
