' Poets Who Fell. Many poets have died in this war, and in the papers recently the death is" announced of Corporal Francis Ledwidge, the peasant poet of Heath, and of Lieuiteiiant' Leslie Bumpus, of the Australian j Field Artillery (states a woman writer :in ; the "Manchester Guardian'.').. Led--widge had published a hook of poem's, • and Lord Dunsany had said .that me hoped te find in Ledwidge a peasant poet - i who would surpass Bur.ns. He fought lin Gallipoli and afterwards in Flanders, where he fell. Bumpus also fought in Gallipoli, and •. was wounded' thera. "The Star," which has a gift for-publishing notable things in poetry and criticism as well as news, published a poem of his, 'Tassing By," which in its own way is one of the most -. poignant battle-poems of the war. •. The public have no idea of the volume of poetry that • has come from the ■'trenches. It seemed as if under the tremendous pressure of war and the circumstances of war an essence had come forth from all sorts of men who in nor- , mal, lifetime would have kept, it in their' life" and not siren it public expression. There, is a lifetime in many .of these poems, and, as in these young men, it is all that.is left of futures-of great • -promise. / News of Nurses. A resident of Christchurch at present visiting London writes a letter, dated July 31, in which some members of the ' nursing profession well known in Christchuroh are referred to. According to this correspondent, "Nurse M. R. Gilkes has been in France since.May, and at pre-, sent is night sister in charge of No. 2 Hospital, Palais dea, Hejfates, at Havre. She joined Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military .Nursing Service Eeserve. I , understand-' she returns to Chrdstclriiireh early in 1918. Sister Falconer isin England.on leave at present, and Ido not think she is,likely to return to Salonika. She was out there for two years. Sister Gill is also in London, and very well. The New Zealand sisters have been taken off the hospital ships and sent off to different hospitals and convalescent homes jn England. Since America came in (here has been • much lees demand for English nurses, as. they brought over six-pursing ■units, 80 sisters in each unit. That number, of course, makes a great difference."
