told about the whole thing from a
new angle, the man in the trenches
who bears the brunt of carrying
out the plans of the war lords. He
became famous almost over night.
And the next day he did not go and

Empey is the poet of the Tommy
and the Poilu, the common soldier
only he neither writes nor talks
with verse. In the simplest of Ian
guage he tells the humor and pathos
of life in the trenches, with the mud
and the "cooties' as constant conf
panions and bursting shrapnel or
insidious enemy gas as frequent Vis-
itors. The warfare he celebrates

daily bit OF the private soldier who
hasn't any idea of what the strate-
gical experts are planning for him
the next day, but knows he and his
company have very simple duty to
perform in whatever few yards Of
trenches they happen to be at the
moment-to keep the Germans from
getting through.
He tells of what our sons, sweet
hearts and brotherS-perhaps even
tually ourselves-will know of war;

Empey, we can be proud to say, is

The personality of the man and
