WAR RENDEZVOUS
FACED BY YOUTH
AS GUNS FLAME OVER ALL WORLD
DEATH OF POET rs RE-
CALLED

The youth Of the world again has
/ a rendezvous with war. They die II
flaming planes in the sky, perish IN the
/ steel hulls Of submarines and warships
they risk every death-dealing device
4 Of civilization In the last war young
/ poet was killed In action. His name
was Alan Seeger, and he was known
! to a number of Montanans who at
tended Harvard college from 1906 TO
1909.
Alan Seeger was % when, charging
up to the German trenches on the
field Of Belloy-en- Santerre, his COM
pany Of the Foreign Legion, in which
he had enlisted at the outbreak Of
the war, was caught in deadly furry
Of machine gun fire, and he fell, with
most of his comrades, on the blood
stained but reconquered soil.
Seeger gave not only his life for
France, but left an imperishable vol
ume Of verse that contains some Of
the finest poems that the war has
produced.
Wrote Ode to Fallen
This young American had already
attained fame as a poet when he was
stricken down and he was selected to
write an Ode In Memory Of the Ameri-
can Volunteers Fallen for France,
which was to have been read before
the statue of Lafayette and Washing
ton in Paris on Decoration day, May
30, 1916. He wrote the ode, but before
the date of delivery, he had made the
supreme sacrifice. Seeger's ode is a
noble one. It is concluded in the fol-
lowing lines:
"And on those furthest rims Of hal
lowed ground
Where the forlorn, the gallant charge
fTr1irpg
When the slain bugler has long ceased
to sound,
And on the tangled wires
The last wild rally staggers, crumbles,
stops,
withered beneath the shrapnels iron
showers
Now heaven be thanked, we gave a
few brave drops;
Now heaven be thanked, few brave
drops were ours"
Was a FataIist
Seeger was fatalist, and it is evi-
dent from many of his verses that he
did not expect to survive the fighting.
In his poem, "I Have a Rendezvous
With Death" he wrote:
II have a rendezvous with Death
On some SCARED slope of battered hill,
When spring comes round again this
year
And the first meadow flowers appear.
But I'VE a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When spring trips north again this
year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
1 shall not fail that rendezvous"

Patrick BLACK Paddy Duane
has been dead for almost 20 years.
He died in poverty in the poor
house at Anaconda. The Trishman
was one of the best soldiers Eng
land ever had. His majesty gave
ssBIack Paddy" many medals for
herOism in battle but a miserable
pension of only seven pence
month and Paddy died in poverty.
He was over 80 years old. He was
a forgotten hero.
OF the hundreds Of men, to whose
early day efforts the great common
wealth of Montana now STANDS as
monument, none can lay claim TO a
more adventurous career than Duane.
Long before the discovery Of gold
started to attract a fearless band OF
Adventures, Black Paddy had braved
death in divers forms, and his bravery
In the face of danger had been recog-
niZed by such governments at Great
Britain and Turkey. When he left the
old home in Ireland to cast his lot
with the western pioneers, he wore
such decorations as the British Crlmea
and Chinese war medals and the COW
eted Crescent of Turkey, a decoration
but rarely bestowed upon any but
follower of Mohammed.
Reckless of Future
on several occasions fortune seemed
TO be his. but like many others Of that
early day period he failed to provide
for the future The venerable old SOL
der of fortune, unable to exist on the
miserable pension of seven pence al
lowed him by Great Britain, spent MS
last days at the Deer Lodge county
According to the old gentleman's life
story, he had shifted for himself since
IL years of age. He was born IN County
Galway, Ireland, June 16, 1885.
Duane's military career began June
i3 1853. when he enlisted in the Brit
ish army at Birr, Kings county, Ire
land.
Fought at Balaklava
1t was about this time that Car
Nicholas of Russia took issue with the
sultan of Turkey, and the war clouds
began to loom above the horizon. Eng
land. as an ally of Turkey, was IN
duty bound to side with the Turks, as
did France. The German states and
Austria assumed a neutral position.
With war impending, Duane's regiment
was sent to the Crimea.
Duane participated in the fighting at
Balaklava and Inkermann, two OF the
bloodiest engagements Of the Crimea
war Inkermann was followed by a
gloomy winter. Terrible storms on the
Black sea destroyed the transports
loaded with supplies for the army. The
horses that charged at Balaklava be-
came unfit for service; the men who
had fought at Inkermann languished in
field hospitals. In the wretchedly or
ganized lazarets at Scutari the SICK
and wounded died by scores for lack
of proper medical attention. Shameful
frauds were perpetrated in filling the
contracts for preserved meats. After
the narrowing misery that prevailed
had been pictured in the London news |
papers, something like system was
finally established in the hospitals by
the energy of Miss Florence Nightin- |

Increased Funds for Roads
Voted By Legislature

Adoption of a highway financ-
ing program which will reduce the
tax burden on real estate and raise
$4,000, 900 in additional revenue for
Minnesota roads through the gaso-
line tax was completed this past
week.
Members of the state senate, af-
ter a brief skirmish Of debate, pass
ed and Governor Harold s. Stassen
signed a series of three bills,
strongly urged by their sponsors
from rural sections of the state, to
provide more funds for road i'm
provements throughout the state
and raise the money from users
of the highways. The house prev
iously had passed the bills. Meas
ures in the program were:
1. Imposition of a state tax of
4 cents a gallon on gasoline. The
tax previously was cents, but
dropped to 8 cents, beginning Sep
TENDER list last year.
2. Repeal Of the Dunn road law
under which a one-mill tax has
been levied on property for road
purposes for many years.
8. Adoption of provisions requir-
ing that $1.200.000 Of the gasoline
tax money be used to replace the
money lost to the state road and
bridge fund by the one-mill repeal
and be distributed to counties as
proceeds Of the one-mill tax now
are distributed for use on state
aid roads.
The one-mill Dunn road tax has
been in existence from horse-and-
buggy days and many efforts have
been made to- repeal 1t without
success since adoption Of the motor
vehicle tax and the gasoline tax
The senate first voted, SO to 81
to repeal It, and then decided by
the same vote to reconsider its act
ion. Later 1t voted, 81 to 20, for
repeal. The Accent gasoline tax
was passed by a comfortable mar
gin Of 40 to Is, and a subsequent
effort to reconsider the vote to OBJ
tain a higher tax failed.
Sponsors of the one-mill repeal
contended that this tax bears
heavily upon country communities
particularly farmers, and it ought
to be eliminated, especially If the
gasoline tax is raised to cents
again. Governor Stassen took the
save view.
Authors of the one-mill repeal
bill, who lead the fight for it's elm
nation, were Senators Oscar A.
Swenson, Anchor Nelson and c. L
Oliver and Representatives Andrew
Finstuen, Walter Burdick and L
G. Dorweiler.
