ONE OF THE WARS 1
FAMOUS POEMS
Written by Canadian Officer
Who Later Died in His
Own Hospital

Philadelphia, July 2.-"In Fland-
ers Fields" is probably the best war
poem in the world to-day. 1t has
had a wided circulation throughout
all the Allied countries than any 9TH
or poem written since the war be-
gan. 1t has been printed in many
languages and has served to stimu-
late many patriotic causes.
The poem was written by Lieuten-
ant Colonel John Macrea of the Ca
madam Army Medical Corps, while
he sat in his dugout on the banks
of the User Canal during those aw-
full days in April, 1915, when the
dauntless first Canadian division,
outnumbered almost ten to one, held
the foe in check at Langemarck, ST.
Julian and Ypres and barred the
way to Calais. Its inspiration is thus
explained by an officer who has
served in the same unit. "On the
Flanders front in the early spring
of 1915, two of the most noticeable
features of the field were, first, the
luXuriant growth of red poppies ap-
pearing among the graves OF the
fallen soldiers, and second, that only
one species of bird remained on the
field during the fighting-the larks-
who, as soon as the cannonadlng
ceased would at once rise in the air,
singing ..
Lieutenant Colonel Macrea, the
author, was a widely-known Cana
dian surgeon, who at the outbreak
of war was a member of the medi-
cal faculty of McGill University.
He was training for the profession
of medicine and surgeon at the time
the South African trouble began and
he served through the Boer War as
a subaltern in the Royal Canadian
artillery. At the outbreak of the
present war he volunteered his SER
vices and as a major he Joined the
First Artillery Brigade, c. F. A., in
August, 1914. With this unit he
served as medical officer through all
the early engagements in which the
First Canadian Division took part.
1t is a point of interest to note
that the commanding officer of this
brigade was Lieutenant Colonel e.
w. s. Morrison, ID. S. o., a fellow
subaltern in the same battery in
South Africa. The latter is now a
major general and in command of
the artillery of the Canadian corps.
After the battle of Festubert. Major
Macrea was promoted to the rank
of lieutenant colonel and was given
charge of the McGill University base
hospital. Arduous work and con-
tinued exposure brought him down
with pneumonia. He died, a pa
tient in his own hospital short
time afterwards. In Flanders
Fields" was first published in Punch,
the famous British weekly The ver-
sion as it appears below is the ori-
ginal one.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

(By Lieut.. Col. John Macrea.)
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, ro won row,
That mark our place, while in the
sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead; short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset
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 bear 1T high.
If We break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies
grow
In Flanders fields.

MAJESTIC

TO He'll with the KAISER" the great
sevenact Screen Classics, Inc patriotic
production, will open a two days en-
gagement, on Monday and Tuesday,
of next week at the Majestic Theatre.
ITO He'll with the Kaiser" is the most
vital Of all the pictures dealing with
the world war. It strips bare the vile
soul of Wilhelm of Hohenzollern, and
shows the plot by which he and his
"Potsdam gang" hoped tc get posses
sion not only of Europe, but of Amer
lea. "To He'll with the Kaiser" shows
the final destination Of this mad mon
arch, as well as relating his cruel
deeds on earth.
A great cast has been chosen to in
terpret this magnificent picture, which
has some CT the most unusual features
ever seen in photodrama. The clos
Ing scenes contain genuine surprise,
combining beauty and forcefulness,
and the Kaiser is shown in those &C
cursed regions to which his base rec
ord has destined him.
On Wednesday Madge Kennedy will
be seen at her best in 1.-The Danger
Game" wherein she exhibits unusual
cleverness in carrying out the Difficult
cult role which she assumes. This
picture is a pronounced feature

Bayne, supported by a cast of stellar
rank, will appear at the Majestic thea

ing Post Story.
Great stretches of snow, with never
track of sledge or snowshoe upon
them, long vistas of mountains, ice
caves and glaciers these things form
the background of 1.-THE Great White
TRAIL" the new Wharton super-fea-
ture, which is next Friday. "The
Great White TRAIL" is a love story of
many vicissitudes, in the days when
men turned brute in their wild rush
to the gold of the Klondike, and when
thousands fought their way over the
icy sleeps and great flats of snow in
their crazed desire for northern gold.
The favorite movie stars, Jack Pick
ford and Louise Huff will be the at
traction at the Majestic next Satur-
day evening. They appear in excel
lence In "His Majesty, Bunker Bean"
which portrays an adventurous life,
