IN PARIS Former Physical Director Here Working at “Casual Camp.” President James L. Case of the Young Men's Christian Association has received the following letter written from Paris by Roy T. Crosby, who was| formerly physical director at the as- sociation, and is now in the Y. M. C. A. service in France: France, April 28, 1918, Mr. James L. Case, Norwich, Conn. My Dear Mr. Case: After this long T have at last arrived in my “where I can take a little time to You have no idea how busy we write. can be, with so much to do. The men are going by 6.15 a. m,, and then uantil 10 p. m. it is hustle all the time, with two or three things to do all the time. After that we- many times sit around in the hut and “tallkc things over” for a while. It is that way seven days each week. The only variation is on Sunday, when the can- teen js closed more, and preaching twice, 9 a. m. and 8 p. m. with RBible classes at 10 a. m. I lead one, I am glad to say. My work thus far has been mainly organizing. When I arrived here, the camp had been started, from about a half a dozen officers. only about three montks before, and the first Y. M, C. A. work done only about six weeks before, starting with one secretary. At the time of my arrival there were twelve, two of whom were women can- teen workers. Now we have several more, both men and women. The Post is what is known as a “Casual” camp. That is, thev make a “casual” visit, on account of being detached from their company or unit, pending their reassignment, or the ar- rival of their unit. The average “life” of a man here is three days. He has no regular duties, except to regis- ter “in” and “out,” eat and sleep. Ev- erythings here is strictly “casual.’” They even changed the commanding officer three times in thres weeks. We cannot provide any regular entertain- ments ,as our entertainment bureau in Paris sends high class talent here any time at short notice. Several times we have had perfectly good shows spoiled in this manner. Then again, just when we thought we had a good one all fixed, the bovs would be called out that day, and leave us “up in the air,” so to speak. All plans here are subject to change with- out notice. Also, the weather is a factor, in my work. We have been in our hut about a2 month. The very first night it was crowded beyond its capacity, and there are six or seven times s many men here now as then. Therefore necessarily much of my work is out of doors. ' During the past five weeks . there. dave -been.-fonr ! da; auring which it has not rained or snywed. Pelwcen the rain and the thletics have not had much There are two other im- portart factors. One is the very se- rious shortage of athletic equipment, and the other is the lack of available grounds. The latter is about solved. One of the first things I did upon ar- riving was to endeavor to get an ath- letic field. I am still getting it. But it is nearly “gotten.” After canvas- ing all of the available sites, one was finally selected, and then the fun com- menced. The names of the owners were ascertained and then we visited the mayor of the town for further ad- vice and information. It developed that the land was owned or leased by several parties. Their system of keeping records here necessitated the searching of them back, in ome in- stanca to the original plotting of the land in 1424 A. D. Several went back to 1600 and something. But that-is not all. I was after fifteen acres of land. It developed that the first 10 acres were owned ar controlled by 24 different parties, nearly all of whom were French sol- diers at the front. The method of procedure was, necessarily, to see each one, obtain an option at as reasonable a figure as possible, and when all were “in line,” then see them all again and obtain a lease of the property. If any of them held out, the French Military authorities had to take it up and con- fiscate it as a military necessity. Some Job! But wait. The remalning five acres had forty-seven different owners. And the French move so slowly, I have been working on that one prob- tem for seven weeks, now. Yes, I am still gctting it. We hopé to be able to go onto it to put in shape, some- time this coming week. And oh, ves, 95 per cent. of the land is intensively cultivated, as only the French can, and planted and growing, in potatoes, oats and wheat. That is one of the tasks I have had. There had been no physical work done here at all, and I was told to sgo ahead and do something. After looking things over for a few days, we decided to have a mass ath- letic meet on Sunday afternoon. Tt was to be a really big thing, the big- gest T ever had anything to do with. In order to handle them at all on the limited space available, we had them organized in groups, or teams, of 100 men each. The following are the events: 60 vard mass race, standing broad jump, shot put, relay race, and tug of war. We had 2 and 1-2 hours available for the event. That morn- ing a large body of troops came in, and used the avalable space, and also it rained. And so it goes. Another new commanding officer ar- rived last week. He expects much from the Y. M. C. A. He hag closed up all the wine shops in town, and “houses,” and looks to us to provide entertain- ment for the men. I have submitted today to him an official letter outlin- ing our principles and a suggested pro- gramme of physical activities. As soon as possible some copies will be made, and I will send you one. Dr. McCurdy ~is much interested in our work here, as it is unlike any other place. Tt seems I have had the won- derful privilege of being a pioneer. It is not all fun either. We nea.rly,gnt m Dutch about a week ago, in a very se- rious way, but in a most natural and unexpected blunder. It was a terri- ble experience, but will have to await the telling until my “next,” as I must close. But the letter to the C. O. is interesting because it pretty well sums up the whole situation here. The work is intensely stage in the hut, for when we have boxing, wrestling, and “stunts.” We have French classes, high class entertainers and lectures, and something new, and doing, every day. We have an unusually well bal- anced and harmonious force. Our can- teen business averages from $1500 ‘to $2000 each day, and we sell at abso- “stunt night,” lute cost. "We are really doing big things. The biggest thing we do shows the least—the “personal work,” so-called. The boys want something all the time, and we try to do for them what mother would if she were here. We are recesiving magnificent co-op- eration from the army officials and au- thorities. The great need is more workers, then supplies. You can say with all assurance that any money subscribed for this work over here is spent to the very best possible advantage, none of it wasted, the need is tremendous, and it is very much appreciated.

I received it here April 10, with a letter from Mrs. Crosby dated the same day. Ordinarily it takes a letter about three weeks to go one way. Just at present I have not heard from any- one “over there” for three weeks. Am hoping to get a “wad” of it soon. . T am rooming with a very delightful French family, and we have lots of fun exchanging language lessons. They are a most lovable people, the real French.
