(By Carl J. Ballict) The Crossin; I suppose any s company crossing the Atlantic at this time would be interesting. ‘Our party includes about 100 Y. M. C.

Some who have crossed often in peace times complain of the small boat and the poor accommodations. But the good ship rides rough seas like a duck, and small boat is good for making friendships. The cross- ing has knit our men closely, and I teel that 1 know nearly every pas- senger aboard. For the most part we are married men. The average age would - be about 36.

The classes start at 9 A. M., and run continually up to 6 P. M. A sea voyage is usuaily a lazy trip, but not this one. Our chief instructor, Arthur Rud- man, a real big man, has been with our army wherever it has been at since 1898. He knows his sol- dier as he knows his Bible, from cov- ‘r to cover. He is an up-standing, four square. warm-blooded man—a man’s man, and yvet one who makes no compromises with evil. Rudman never hesitates to call a thing by its right ame. He is resourceful and uncanni wise with nien. The sol- dier boys come for his advice be- cause they want it, and there is many a happy home in the U. S. A. that owes its happiness to his guidance of the man away from home. No man could travel in this com- pany and worry about submarines, mines or shells. The pervading spirit in work hours is earnest faith, In the few play hours this changes to galety. We all seem to feel confldent that we will be spared for our work, but if not, God's will be done. True, some canny souls have rented at $3 for the trip those patent floating suits made on the principle of the thermos bot- tle, but of fear there is none appar- ent. Every evening there is a concert. We have readings, flne baritone or tenor solos, recitations and a sprink- ling of comedy. This crowd could put on a good show anywhere on short notice. We near Frante filled with enthus- jasm for our work. CHAPTER IIL. The Atmosphere. T am le: ving for the field tomor- row, after eight days in Paris, a sad but still a beautiful Paris. Death has come close to every- body here. Nearly every woman I have passed on the streets was in mourning. I am told that those not wearing black have probably done so during the past three and one-half years. The atmosphere is of course mijli- tary. A look down any street in a busy hour is like a peep into a kaleid- oscope, with its weaving and shifting strands of all the colors of the rain- bow. French, Moroccan, Hindu, Aus- tralian, English, American and Can- adian officers in dress uniform, pass- ing and repassing, present a con- tinuous kinemacolor show against tho dazzling whiteness of the winter snow or the dull drab of pavements and buildin the Y.
