know what department I was in aud
when I told him I was an entertainer,
he asked, 'What do you think of this?'
and teak cut a sheet ot pacer on
which was written, half In typewrit
ing, halt in pencil, a poem entitled "I
have a Reodetvous with Death.'
Like It?' he askod me, tad when I
told him It was wonderful, he said tt
was going to be published with his
boci ot poems. I asked him his
name and he replied,' 'Sergeant Alan
Seegar.' -
twRor 'Cold Blooded"
"That man was the coldest blooded
person I have ever met," said Sco
vell, growing reminiscent. "Yet he
was such a gentleman. His voice was
beautiful very deep and soft. He
belonged to the Foreign Legion. "The
Legion." you know," Scovell told the
reporter, "wss an Infantry organiza
tion composed ot foreigners who went
over early In the war and enlisted. I
never saw him after that night. He
was killed net so long after that.'
Another time, back of Arras, Sco
vell was about to start hla evening's
performance in a little Y. M. C. A.
canteen. The door opened and twe
stretcher bearers entered the room.
"Gentlemen," announced the heavy-
set man, "we have been up on the fir
ing line for 43 hours burning and
burying the dead and carrying in the
wounded. We've had no food in all
that time. May we cai?" While they
waited for food, tho men cleaned up a
bit they were covered with mud.
Scovell asked them to stay for the
evening's entertainment just about to
begin. "That's partly why we came
in," said the heavy set man. ,
The actor entertainer Introduced
himself, and the man replied, "I'm
Kobert W. Service."-.' . , ;

- '"Then," Scovell sa.ld'1 asked him
if he ' were Robert ; W. ' Service, the
pre&t .Canadian poet and the poet, for
It was he, replied, 'fiparemy blushes,

ed his story, "He f a. likeable tbap.
He stayed with us over night-there
back of Arraa, and w became well ac

"I used some of his poems in my
entertainments for the boys j 'Carry
On' was one ot their favorites. They
liked the war poems best. They
didn't want any of this namby-pamby
stuff," he said, his blue eyes flash
ing. "I also bad the pleasure of meeting
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Halg and
General Byng, of VImy. Where? lp
on the line. Byng ia now governor
general ot Canada, but the men know
him best as Byng, of Vimy. He was
juBt like his name a human dyna
mo," he said, by way ot description.
Worked with Harry Lander
"It was up on the Somme I think,"
be continued, "That I'd been 62
hours on the job, going from ward
to ward of the hospitals and holding
performances for groups of boys,
when the colonel told me that another
artlBt was coming to help me out.
Outside, two Scotch pipers were play
ing 'Cock of the North,' and in walk
ed a little Scotchman." said Scovell,
using bis wonderful gift of imperson
ation to illustrate Just how the man
entered.
"That man was Sir Harry Lauder.
We worked together for six weeks. He
sang 'Wee Dock and Doris,' 'Laddies
Who Fought and Won,' and all those
songs the boys loved so well. I re-
c'ted everything from Hamlet to Ca
sey at the Bat. We had gre'at argu-
