OtK SERGEANT

How well | can remember
when We got OF the train.
The twenty sixth II September.
when shells came down like rain
out there in that French valley.
Next day we fought the Hun.
They tried their best to rally.
And thought the woods we'd shun.
Their aeroplanss flew overhead.
while from that forest thick.
Machine guns sent stream OF lead.
But we were there 70 stick

think they named " well.
For there some Of us stan iay
From that outburst OF hell
That twenty ninth we started.

thought the earth had parted

over the top in that awful noise.
Fearless as one could be-.
lie led his bunch Of signal boys
In search Of 81 new T.. {.
onward thru the mud and noise
Eighteen started out. To- go.
Thru the ArFonnc with tho wire
There the Hun got eight. l know
There We lay In mud and water.
With bully beef and hard tack
bread.
While the guns kept getting hotter.
Shooting shrapnci Ger our head
Then at last relief. "oh. boy
We had visions OF a rest:
Back we started fun of JOY
TIL an order shrunk our chest.
From there TO Hin Two sixty.nine.
Again we went and did our best.
We showed the Hum we'd hold the
line
Tho we didn't get our rest.
Their hand grenades they threw
Bangl Bang
While snipcrs tried their aim
Around our heads the bullets rang:
From our guns no help came.
Five more long days we stuck IL out.
Say. our sergeant sure was game.
He liked us all without "A doubt,
And we liked him the same.
Then at last relief thank heavenl
Sure enough Il came this time.
But of our bunch only seven
Could return from that there line.
FILLED up again to rs men
We started In to hunt,
In turnip fields the Germans then
Were on the Flanders front.
From Ypros we surely ran them
hard.
TIL Audenardc we passed
Where then of war they all grew
tired.
And we had peace at last.
Here's hopes we won't get much
more mail
In this said Europe racket,
When all for home can shortly sail.
And with them Sergeant Bracket.

But here it is time to pull up. Our
admiration of The Toad, Compassion,
Luxury, Robes, The WindfaH and
The Last Lion is not so unreserved as
may be appearing. We pass them on
endorsed as strong, refreshing and
well worth while, but we don't feel
that many a bookful like them would
have entitled Mr.. Blasco Ibanez to
that degree of recognition which dds
counting vogue as well as one cam
he seems to be in a fair way to enjoy.
Among short stories, they are not as
remarkable, we think, as his longer
works are among novels. His quail
ties seem to US primarily to be novel
lists; at least the defects Of them
operate against him more obviously
within short story limits. He is an
observer and chronicler before he is
a calculating artisan and while when
calculated artistry goes too far you
get loss of sincerity, still a certain
amount of it, we think, has invariably
been part Of the mastery of the finest

sense that any one describing the hor-
rible paro1ysms of the disease from
observation could do horrid things to
the interiors of his readers. But there
is a great deal more than crude horror
to the little picture. The mothers
anguish, the veritable putting out Of
the sun for the stern Latin father
and his progress to his final stern act
of mercy, the impression of the terri
fed village and the persecution of
its pack of outcast dogs, everywhere
driven off by shots and ranging about
in the starlight, justify the use Of
such grisly material.
