Herbert Kaufman wrote the fol
lowing, which might well take Its
place beside the narratives of the
deeds' of the Spartans at Thermopyla
and the light brigade at Balaklava:
My name is Darino, the poet. 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!
Where do
you stand?
You are either for the
war or against it. If
you are against it you
ought to be in Ger

it you ought to own
