In Flanders Fields the cannon boom
And fitful flashes light the gloom
While up above. like eagles, fly
The fierce destroyers of the sky;
With stains the earth wherein you lie
Is redder than the poppy bloom
In Flanders Fields.
Sleep on, We brave! The shrielxing shell,
The quaking trench, the startling yell,
The fury Of the battle hell
Shall wake you not, for all is we'll
Sleep peacefully, for all is we'll;
Your flaming torch aloft we bear,
With burning heart and oath we swear
To keep the faith, to fight it through;
TO crush the foe, or sleep with you
In Flanders Fields

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

By Lieut.. COL McRae, Canadian Forces)
In Flanders Fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses. row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard among the guns below
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived felt dawn, saw sunsets glow
Loved and were loved; and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
TO you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch. Be yours to lift it high
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, tho poppies blow
In Flanders Fields.

Assault Continued.

British Army Headquarters in
France. March FL, l P. M.-(By the
Associated Press The Germans to-
day launched a heavy attack on a
wide front in and near the Cambria
sector. This assault bears all the
earmarks Of being the beginning of
the enemy's grand offensive.
A heavy bombardment by the
enemy OF the front from a. short dis
lance below the Scarp river to the
British right f1ank-from east of
Arras to the region Of La Fere-was
begun at 5 o'clock this morning and
was still continuing at the latest re-
port. AT the same hour the Germans
began q display of artillery activity
in the Messines sectof. At 4 O'Clock
they began a b~ombardment with gas
shells along the Fleurbaix-A rmen4
there's sector.
1t may be merely coincidence that
German prisoner stated recently
that an enemy offensive was to begin
March 20 or FL. Numerous other
dates also have been given. At any
rate. no infantry action had been re-
ported at the time of filing this dis
patch.
For several days it has been indi-

pleted all their plans and are ready
to begin-operatioIs, if this be within
the scope of their program. :
