DODGE RIFLE BALLS,
 THEN PLAY BASEBALL
Canadian Troops in France Aston
 iSh Their British Brethren

Correspondence of The Associated Press) in France, June 20.-These young Canadians in khaki playing baseball in Belgian pasture could tell you what the shell fire at Verdun is like. They had been under 1.-the worst that has been known on the British front. Around them was the utter quiet of the country side; in the dis tance the guns were still growing around Sorrell Hill Sanctuary Wood and HOOge, the scene of the Cana dians' greatest battle in France.
 Mud-stained, bloOd-stained, they had come away from the bloody piles of dirt which had been their trenches and after a long sleep they. had won dered why they were alive and start ed to play baseball to pass the time till they should go into the trenches again. They had been in the thick of it from 8:30 a. m till 1:30 D. m., on June 2nd, right in the apex of the Ypres salient, that bend in the line which had struck out invitingly to the Germans as the Verdun sali- ent for more than a year.
 The Germans could arrange their guns in a fan-shape around it as they could at Nerdun; and they did. When their guns began to speak the British guns spoke back; and even the old inhabitants of the Ypres salient agreed that it was the worst ever. Mo- body on the spot ever supposed that there were so many guns in either the German or the British army.
 But the officer inside the farmhouse sitting at the farmers dining room table could tell all about it-his small part of it. He and his men had been in and out of the trenches on their shifts till they were quite used to the monotony of the trench life and the daily Wastage The morning of June 2 was very quiet. A general who was taken prisoner afterward was making an inspection. An occasional crack of a bullet over head and an occasional shot in answer. At S.30 the inferno broke without any more warning than a boiler explosion. They always do British, or French, or German.
