Alaska’s Poet
To Write War
Poems at Front
(Juneau Empire)
Robert W. Service, Alaska’s poet
laureate, who for several months has
been busy heaving bombs from
French' to German trenches with a
lacrosse racquet, is going to write a
book on “Ballads of Battle"—as soon
as he can find time. This story came j
in a private letter from a publisher.
Frank C. Dodd, of Dodd, Meade fr
Co., went to France last April in an 1
effort to find Service and induce him
to write some poetry dealing with the
war. Service was at the front and
Dodd was unable to get a pass per
mitting him to visit the trenches. He
was not particularly anxious about
making the trip anyway, as the point
at which Service was living at that
j time was not very healthful, there
being a superfluity of German bullets :
; and pieces of shrapnel whistling
through the atmosphere. He left a
letter for Service and returned to the
United States. A few days ago Dodd
| received an answer, which he for-1
warded to a friend of Service’s.
Is Good Pitcher.
“I’ve been on the front for ne, -ly
a year,” the Alaskan poet writes, “and
have developed considerable proficien
cy as a bomb thrower. If I ever get
back to America the anarchists will
ibe sure to want to hire me. Lately I
' have been driving ammunition auto
mobile trucks and doing aiabidar.ce
j work, which is not quite as nerve
' racking as is bomb throwing. But at
! that my nerves are becoming some
what frazzled. I guess it must be the
noise. I’ll have to quit before long,
and when I get back to where it’s
quieter I’ll see what I can do about
writing something on the war.”
A story is told to the effect that
sometime ago Service rescued a
wounded Irishman. The man died be
fore he reached a base hospital. Serv
! ice, who, although he is a poet, has
i good business sense, found in the
j man’s pockets a copy of a poem on
‘War” written in long hand. Service
| read and thought it a masterpiece. He
told newspaper corespondents of the
great tragedy. Here had been discov
ered an unknown genius who died on
the eve of gaining public recognition.
The newspaper correspondents print
ed the story of the poem and then it
was-discovered that the verse Bad
been written nearly 60 years ago by
an author of international reputation.

nalist and lecturer for that party.
Mr. Dunstan’s experience in Aus-!
traliap union circles qualifies him to

tention to deliver a series of addres
s' which will be in harmony with the
highest ideals of the labor movement.
The subject of’the first lecture will be

Main Shaft of
Dredgers Breaks
The main driving shaft of the
, dredge of the Cache Creek Dredging
company broke recently, and unless
efforts that are now being made to
make repairs are successful, the min
. ing season will have been lost, entail
ing a severe loss to the concern. Aft
er a three-days’ run, the company
cleaned up 200 ounces of gold, prov
ing that the ground contains hand
- some workable values. It is regret
table that the accident occured, be
cause the Cache Creek Dredging com
pany is a legitimate concern and has
1 expended a large sum in installing
the dredge and getting ready for op
erations.
1 Mr. Russell Cole has been author
ized to act as our permanent walking
. delegate, to collect dues and issue
membership cards.
