Lieut. John McCrae was the inspired poet of the last war. His heartâ€" touching ~poem, ~"In â€"Flanders Fields," has taken a notable part in keeping 2live the spirit of reâ€" membrance. It is but fitting that it should have its place in this week of remembrance. ,,Ghosts at Dleppe give here at this time one of the poems of toâ€"day, touching also on remembrance. Accordingly, ; herewith is given Michael Foran‘s "Gosts at Dieppe," a poetic gem that will make heart appeal to many. If Lieut. McCrae‘s poem bouched the hearts of all in the last war, it is well to remember that the present .war also has its great poets.
