In Flanders fields the peoples grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark place; and 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 sunset glow.

Lieut.. Co. John McCrae, author of I'm Flan-
ders Fields" is dead in France from pneumonia.
He was distinguished physician of Montreal
and was in command of a Canadian hospital. Oc-
casionally he wrote verse and his little poem re-
produced above has won great praise. 1t has be-
come one of the most popular lyrics of the war.
DR.. McCrae in 1914 was on his way to Eng
land when war broke out. He cabled back to Can
ada offering his services. He was assigned as
medical officer and service in all the actions
in which his command was engaged, including the
bloody battle of Neuve Chapelle in which the Ca
nadlans suffered heaVy losses. subsequently Dr.
McCrae put in charge of a hospital unit,
serving continuously for thirty-one months in the
hospital in Boulogne until pneumonia caused his
death.
The sacrifice of DR.. McCrae is not singled out
because it is the only one worthy of mention.
Thousands have died in the performance of heroic
deeds in the great war. We mention it because
hundreds of US, having read and admired the lit
tie lyric, wondered who its author was
Take up quarrel with the foe,

Of the burden Of the war through the

but one has been convinced that he
is being let down. rather lightly
thus far.

The owner of 8 large mercantile

amounted to $4,000 and he had
thought he had done 4 great deal, but
