You have heard? ies, Commedle Francaise. Perchance it has happened, mon ami. vou know of my unworthy lays. Ah, then, you must guess how my fingers are itching to talk to a Den: For I was at Soissons and saw it, the death of the twelve Englishmen. My leg, malheureusenient, I left it, behind on the banks of the Aisne. Regret? I would pay with the other to witness their valor again. A trifle, indeed, I assure you, to give for the honor to tell How that handful of British, un daunted, went Into the Gateway of Hell. Let me draw you a plan of the battle: Here we French and your Ln eineers stood: Over there a detachment of German sharnshooters lav hid in a wood. A mitrailleuse battery planted on top of this well chosen ridge Held the road for the Prussians, and covered the direct approach to the bridge. It was madness to dare the dense murder that spewed from those ghastly machines. (Only those who have danced to its music can know what the mit railleuse means) But the bridge on the Aisne was a menace; our safety demanded its fall; "Engineers volunteers!" In a body, the Rovals stood out at the call. Death at best was the fate of that mission to their glory not one was dismayed. A party was chosen and seven sur vived till the powder was laid. And they died with their fuses un lighted. Another detachment! Again A sortie is made again vainly. The hrificfi still commanded the Aisne. We were fighting two foes Time and Prussia the moments were worth more than troops. We must blow up the bridge. A lone soldier darts out from the Royals and swoops For the fuse! Fate seems with us. We cheer him; he answers our hopes are re-born! A ball rips his visor his khaki shows red where another has torn. Will he live will he last will he make It? Helas! and so near to the goal! A second, he dies! Then the third one! A fourth, still the Germans take toll! A fifth, magnifique! It is magic! How does he escape them? He may Yes. he does! See, the match flares! A rifle flares out from the wooas and say "Nay!" Six, seven, eight, nine tae men places six, seven, eight, nine brave their hail! Six, seven, eight, nine how we count them! But the sixth, sever.tn, eieth and nine fall! A tenth! Sacre nom! But these Eng lish are soldiers they know how to try. (He fumbles the place where his jaw .v.-.o thev show. too. how heroes can die.) Ten we count ten who ventured un quailing ten there were and the ten are no more! Yet another salutes, and superbly es says where the ten failed before. God of Battles look down and protect him! Lord, his heart is Thine let him live! But the miltrailleuse sputters and stutters and riddles him into a sieve. Then I thought of my sins and sat waiting the charge that we could not withstand. And I thought of my beautiful Tarls, and gave a last look at the land At France, ma belle France, in Her glory of blue sky and green field and wood. Death with honor, but never surrend er. And to die with such men it was good. They are forming the bugles are blaring they will cross in a mo ment and then When out of the line of the Royals (your island, mon ami, breeds men) Burst a private, a tawny-haired giant it was hopeless, but ciel! how he ran! Bon dieu, please remember the pat tern, and make many more on his plan! No cheer from our ranks, and the Germans, they halted in wonder ment too; See, he reaches the bridge; ah! he lights it! I am dreaming, it can not be true. s.Tpams of rage! fusillade! They have killed him! Too late, though the good work is done. By the valor of twelve English mar tyrs, the Hell-Gate of Soissons is won!
