toned they would gaze in our direc-
ton with a sneering look. This COM
pletely got our goats.
One evening we were sitting in n
dugout of the support trench; 1T was
raining like the mischief, and we
were cold and downhearted. Pretty
soon the rations came up. The ra-
ton party generally brings the ra-
tionS down into the dugouts, but the
two men carrying our dixie" set it
down in the mud of the trench and
almost shot the chutes' down the
entrance to the dugout. They were
breathless with excitement. One of
them yelled out:
"Yank, there's a timber full of
parcels down in the reserve dugout,
They're all addressed to you,
h'Empey, and they're from America" "
Stewart let out n shout and l felt
warm all over. How we lorded it
over those poor Tommies. That
night we were to be relieved and go
back to rest billets. We could hardly
wait for the time.
The next morning was Sunday,
and after church parade we made a
mad rush to the Orderly Room to
get our mail.
The Quartermaster Sergeant was
waiting for me, and behind him stood
every officer in the company, trying
TO disguise the expectant look on
their faces. Every eye was turned
in the direction of a heap of par
cells. l thought the Quarter" never
would start. Even the Captain could
not stand it, and giving way to his
eagerness, said: Sergeant, you had
better issue the mail"
Stewart and i were all anxiety.
Then, STOPPING down, the Ser
geant took up a parcel and read off:
"Empey, No. $685." and threw it
over to me. 1 caught it on the fly.
The Sergeant kept on reading out
"Empey," and parcels came through
the air like a bombardment.

around the stump of a candle, went
into details for organizing two teams
Everything appeared rosy. and we
were highly jubilant. A Tommy
eased over in our direction and in
nocently asked:
Il sye, Yank, isn't it necessary to
ave byseballs and clubs? We cawn't
very well ply without 'em."
This was a bombshell to us. In our
eagerness and excitement We had
quite forgotten that bats. balls and
gloves were necessary. 1 thought
Stewart was going to burst. Letting
out a We'll, I'll he blowed!" which
nearly blew the candle out. he turn
ed a silly look in my direction, and
l looked just as cheap.
At last the Tommies had stumped
US, and we could see our reputation
fading into nothing. \ dead silence
reigned for over five minutes. Then
Stewart started madly to open his
Eaversack. 1 thought he had sud-
denly gone crazy. l reached my hand
in the direction of my bayonet, fear
ing that he was looking for a Mills
Bomb. When he drew his hand out
hanging to his fist was a writing pad
l let go of my bayonet Borrowing
a pencil from me (Stewart was al
ways borrowing), he started writing
l thought perhaps he was going to
commit suicide and was writing a
farewell letter home. and asked him
what was up. He whispered to me:
Emp. we're two bloody fools not
to have thought of this long ago. All
we've got to do is TO write home 70
one of the New York papers, asking
the readers to send out baseball stuff
to us. and ii will only be a matter o!
a few weeks when we will have
enough to equip two teams
I offered to write the letter, and
with Stewart bending over me,
eagerly wrote an appeal to the read
erS of the New York Evening Tele-
gram, and turned the letter over to
the Mail Orderly.
We then explained to the Tommies
that equipment was necessary and
that we had written home, but while
waiting for the baseball stuff to ar
rive we would carry on with our in
struction classes.

awful. If we had used a regular
baseball l don't think there would
have been a Tommy in the squad
without a black eye. Did you ever
watch a girl trying to catch ball?
Well, a girls team alongside of some
of these Tommies would have looked

Two weeks later we went up into
the front line; then came back again
for another rest. The interest in
baseball was dying out and we were
at our wits end. Time passed, and
we figured out that we ought to be

ing came. Then, once again we

phia crowds flock every Sunday to
hear DIR. Floyd w. Tomkins, while
our downtown churches are almost
empty? Simply because he has u
message about God. He does not re-
hash the days news from the pulpit
nor choose topics that command
space in the newspapers, nor have
prologues or stereopticon shows. He
just preached God to the hearts of
the people, and the multitude which
gathered in hunger goes away fed.
1t was n plain sermon that Mark
reports John as preaching. First
there was the old appeal. Repent

that the axe was already lying at

to cut it down should they prove un-
worthy of their fathers. And then
there was the promise of the greater
One who was to come. John offered
his time Christ. That was it's need
then: 1t is the supreme now. AS
Richard Watson Glider so beautifully
wrote:
"If Jesus Christ is n man,
And only a man, l say, d.
That of all mankind l cleave to Him,
And to Him will l cleave alway.
"But If Jesus Christ is God

Opened
by Censor

brand new base
balls. or at least, eleven, and the
remains of one. This twelfth ball
was stamped, Opened by Censor
but search as l could. l could find
no stamp reading "Sewed up by Gen.
sor." We did the sewing up. but
that ball looked like a ducks egg
when We had finished. Stewart and
l roundly cussed the Censor. Later,
we both cussed the inventor of base
ball. There was n reason.
The readers of The Telegram had
nobly responded to our appeal. There
were enough gloves and balls for
two teams, and even chest protec-
tor and mask. The mask was an
article of great curiosity to all. Some
of them thought it was a bomb pro-
tector. Everyone in turn tried it on,
and everyone, upon learning that the
catcher was to wear the mask, want
ed Immediately to sign up for the
position. Stewart and 1 could have
been elected to Parliament right
there, if these Tommies could have
had their way.
The next afternoon. the candi-
dates, forty in all, and the whole
company turned out en- masse on the
baseball field, which we had laid out
during our previous stay in rest bill
let's.
From that day on, Stewart and I
led q dogs life. Though on paper
everything looked bright, and the
candidates were letter perfect in the
game. or thought they were, on the
field they were dubs of the worst
caliber-regular boneheads. If Nc
Graw of the Giants had had that mob
wished on him, he would have
chucked up his job and taken the
stump for Woman Suffrage; so you
can appreciate our fix.
Stewart was a really good pitcher;
plenty of curved stuff, having played
semi-pro ball in the United States. 1t
was my intention to catch for him
and fill in the other positions with
the most likely candidates. This
scheme did not work in with the
popular version a little bit. Out of
the forty trying for the team, twenty
eight insisted on being catcher. If
there had been a camera, each of
the forty would have had a photo
taken of himself wearing the wire
cage" Here was a great dilemma
At that time 1 was only a private.
and there were Sergeants, Corporals.
and even an officer, who wanted to
catch. Stewart again came to the
rescue. Calling me aside he said:
Leave it to me, Emp, I'll fix 'em.
I'll try out each one in turn. Let
them wear the mask, and I'll send in
some curves, and when the ball
cracks them on the shins a couple of
times you couldn't pay 'em to put
on the cage"
The Tommies were strange to the
curved balls, and Stewart had speed,
1t did my heart good to see him
dampen their ardor and dent their
anatomy at the same time. The
Tommies would see the ball coming
to them and would reach up their
hands to get it. Then the ball would
"break" and hit them on the shin
or knee. After five or six had re-
tired, rubbing sore spots and cussing
Stewart out, no one else wanted to
catch, and the situation was saved.

PLAN BELGIAN TRIP.

Paris Dec. Pit is thought that
President Wilson may try to crowd his
visit to Belgium into the time spre-
ceding the conference.
There is still much uncertainty as to
whether the sessions of the Versailles
conference will be open to the public
or be secret. The American diplomats,
however. seem quite eager to have
them open as far as possible, for many
reasons, among these the declaration
of President Wilson that the courses
of diplomacy should proceed in the
open.
Still, ii is said. they are in accord
with the president in that the discus
sions cannot be conducted as freely in
the open as would be possible in the
secret and quiet of the council cham
her.
The general opinion inclines to the
view that the conference may be mod
cied after the procedure of the United
States senate, where the foreign rela-
tons committee considers information
al affairs secretly and later reports to
the whole body.
