AlanSeeger' stree
T HE Writers Club will plant a me-
mortal tree tomorrow in Washing

tn HE Writers Club will plant me-
mortal tree tomorrow in Washing
ton Square Park in honor of the late
Alan Seeger, the young American poet
who was killed in action while serving with
,he Foreign Legion during the world war.
This event will be one of particular in
tarest, since Seeger was the first American
man of letters TO make the supreme sacri-
flee in tine great war and it is believed that
this is the first time that a tree has ever
been formally planted in America as a me-
mortal to a poet, although this is custom
which is frequently carried out in Europe.
Alan Seeger was born in New York city
on June %, 1888 Immediately after the
war broke out he enlisted in the French
Foreign Legion
The poet, who could fight as we'll as write
took part in many of the bloody battles
along the Aisne front. 1t was during a
charge his battalion made at Belloy-en-
Santerre on July 4, 1916, during the battle
of the Somme, exactly nine months before
America Joined the Allies, that Alan Seeger
fell mortally wounded. His comrades said
that the soldier poet displayed supreme
Nalor in action.
Alan Seeger was the author OF Poems"
Lutlished in 1916. and Letters and Diary"
in 1917 His best known poems are Il Have
a Rendezvous With Death" ode i'm Mem
ory of the American Volunteers Fallen for
France" Champagne" and a number Of
exceptionally beautiful sonnets. His poems
have been translated into French by Jean
Richepin of the French Academy.
In New York Alan Seeger lived for a time
at 81 Washington square, where he wrote
several of his poems, and II is on the green
lawn opposite this house-the plot Of ground
which he had surveyed many time from
the window of his studio-that the memorial
stree will be planted.
Francis ID. Gallatn Commissioner of
Parks, will speak al the planting Several
poets will speak and read selections from
Alan Seeger's work
According to a statement published in the
FiJdro of Paris last year, France has de-
cided TO erect a statue In memory of Alan
Seeger.
