ONE OF THE BEST POEMS OF THE
WAR


Erwin Clarkson Garrett, of the
Fighting First on the Western Front,
has issued a volume of Trench Bal
lads" every one of which is well worth
reading. He wrote most of the verses
on odd bits of paper as he waited foi
his rifle to cool while in the trench,
and so the poems are racy of the con-
flict, of the conditions, and of the feel
ings which our soldiers faced and ex-
perienced.
OF all the excellent organizations
which in their own way did their best.
The aviation Army is one of the first
and foremost in the heart of the
world
AT all events Mr. Garrett strikes the
chord of universal feeling in the fol
lowing poem, entitled, THE Salvation
Army with the A. E. F.:
You kept no roped-off row of chairs
Or clubs for Officers only
But you toiled for John Doe when he
Was cold. tired, wet and lonely.
You didn't squander millions
On soldiers warming benches,
But you worked like blazes for the
Ones that freGuentcd the trenches.
You didn't stick to cast-iron rules
Of business most punctilious,
And you never treated Private Doe
With manner supercilious.
You had no boundless backing,
But just inside your doors
1t seemed like: Feel to home, Bill;
Sit down-the riace is yours,"
Some -Esngs we'd fain remember
Some things we'd fain forget
But, oh, you kindly people.
Live in our memory yet
This is not only beautiful tribute
to the Salvation Army, but it is a
beautiful expression also of human
gratitude-the best and finest quality
of man, but all too rarely found in a
hurrying, materialistic world.
