Allen-Dear Priendt -sYoa prebnbly have surmised, not hearing from me for so long, that I had left for Fra-iee. I have been over here for some eeks, and found this country to be exactly as I had expected, very beautiful in some spots, and other portions showing the burden of four years of war. I had a very pleasant voyage across the water, very tiresome at times, but had the good fortune not to snffer the com mon ailment of seasickness. Would like to relate my trip and experiences, out such not oeing permitted, can Only say I enjoyed it immensely. Upon arrival, we were placed in a rest camp for five days, after which we traveled two days and two night a-to an equipment camp.

Spending two daya there, WV moved on to our present location, which, was reached after a sevsn-milo hike with' loaded packs. (That has something on Etching a doubletwader' down -South with tbe temperature at 100). We have been here quite a while, but don't know Our move from one tour to the next.

The uncertainty of the situation was one or the things that made the magnates unwilling to go ahead.

Baseball is a big bnsiness with big capital invested, and on that ground it seems that the' magnates are eatitled to a decision.

Thirty -eight others are under orders from draft boards and are waiting to be" called. There are 72 playera in the two leagues who would not be affested by the Work -or fight order.
