M. C. A Ever alert to provide for the men of the A. B. F. forms of recreation that will remind them of home and yet make them satisfied to remain over seas although they have finished the big Job. the ”Y.” has ordered Immense supplies of bobsleds, skates, skis, to boggans and the like, and prospects are excellent for much exciting com petition among the men for A. E. F. championships lh the various branch es of winter sports. Men from sections of America where the only Ice Is artificial and where the ground Is never white, are due for a lot of bumps and contor tions that go with early efforts to at tain efficiency in ice skating and skiing. But the example of their as sociates from the froren north Is ex pected to Inspire them with a desire to go far enough to enjoy the thrill of oosating and the music of the crunch of snow shoes. And after their sport In the open, there are the baths at Uriage. the famous springs resort dis covered and developed by the Romans of the ancient empire. According to some "Y” secretaries many Yanks live In the springs and go out only Cor their meals . But If the baths are the crowning attraction In this leave area It Is only after much stiff competition. Winter sports have been mentioned. Before the snows come, smooth tennis courts and baseball fields exerted their lures; from eminences high up on the sides of the French Alps are marvelous views and coxy hots lx where formerly tourists gladly paid high prtcea for, accommodations; **Y” workers have qualified as expert guides and every day soldier explorers form parties to visit a perfect specimen of mediaeval castle and other attractions of the mountains. And when the outdoors palls Grenoble calls. Greenoble, with more than 100,000 Inhabitants. Is easily reached by a» elec trio road that makes the climb from the Isere Valley to Uriage. Here the Y. M. C. A. has set up a small city j within a city. Everything that human ingenuity can devise for homesick boys Is at the disposal of the American sol diers. There are hotels, clubs, the atres, churches, motion pictures and numerous entertainments In which the hospitable residents take an active part. . "It's a great life If you don’t weak en under the »train of what the *T’ of fers here,” is the comment of any sol dier as he returns to duty, with a de termination to visit the Dauphlne at the earliest opportunity.
