It is, “Isn't this a queer war?” ́ It means, I take it, that after the provious experience wo naturally expected something like what happened in 1914, and we very definitely have not got it.
·I ́set this down because I feel that the present cricket season is a very queer season, and, of course, the answer is that it is because of the war. In 1914, cricket just did! not happen, so far as my recollection goes, until after Christmas, because the German Far East fleet was still in being and we were all standing to, and all games were off. How soon they started I cannot quite remember but I think it was after the action at the Falkland Islands. But the 1914/1915 season hardly existed,
