Excerpt from The Song of Tiadatha Fashion which is a most happy blend of descriptive realism, humour and sentiment. Longfellow's metre has often been Copied before, but I think never so well as this and certainly never with such happy results. Floating as gently along as Hia watha in his canoe, we follow Tiadatha's adven tures from the day when he ceases to be a nut in St. James's Street, joins up, and goes to France we come with him to Macedonia, and accompany him as he does the hectic round of Salonica's dubious amusements; watch him building his dug-out up on the Boiran Front share his feverish activities during the nightmare experience of the Great Fire attack the frowning Bulgar mountains in his company; and finally, with much good work well done, go back to England with him on leave and look enviously on as he takes to his arms again his green-eyed Phyllis.

But another reason is that the song or tiadatha is something absolutely our own. Nobody can appreciate it to the full who has not belonged to the great family of the b.s.f. And as you men of that Army have had trials which have been peculiarly your own, so it is right that you.
