Wffiries4ay, February 27, 1918 LETTERS FROM THE FRONT PENN STATE FORESTERS ARE BUSY "OVER THERE" On Active Sei vice With American Expeditionary Force Somewhel e in France Nov. 13. 1917 :‘,lry dear Mr Ferguson:— . So doubt you have heal d of our safe au ival in this country by this time. Three month , " ago today L could not imagine myself ever being here, espelal b within so short a period. The sea voyage hOOll became one of mono tony, as there was nothing to look at but water. water. and our ship. Of coarse the monotony NVUS occasionally Woken when I was compelled to join the fish feeding detail, or when a sub mai me was supposed to be hard on out Believe me, the first sight of land seemed to be the gi andest sight I ever saw. They say green colors are rest ing to the eye, and such was old Ire land. The banks of bonny Scotland sure made a fellow appreciate the fact that the world is not all salt water. England seemed so homelike that I could scarcely believe myself on this side of the Atlantic. It would be a regular circus for you to see the trams we traveled in. Each and very one was a third class side door pullman. And talk about the size of 'em! They look like a toy car t alongside of a Fold in comparsion to our box cars. Until the present we have been con stantly on the move since leaving the S Today we are in our• permanent camp. We ale sure (lumping out the logs in a jffy now, and the mill is hell on its way to completion. The regiment has been split up in several detach ments. L. D Dunn and I are the only State men in this detachment Just where the others are I do not know. The timber her e is not very heavy It consists mainly of Scotch and Mari tam pine. These ti acts have all been planted and say they look fine. Long clean boles, and planted in perfect lows Evidently the French know something about Forestry. These people sti ike me a' a very sociable and cow teous r ace. Of course I only guess this from their actions as their lingo is more or less like monkey chatter to me. I am gradually learning Understand 9..ottte of it, however, as I have a Self Taught Cliamnmu•, which I manage to study occasionally. Lately, war doings have been quiet here, but when we thst Caine to camp we were entertained by the music of the big guns and passing of many air ships. I have often wished that I could be back with the class this year to enjoy all the miseries and pleasures of the little building by the \\oods. Of course I am glad to have this expel leene which will doubtless lighten the load of work I hope to tlnlsh I have often wondered how large your Pieslimn Class Is this peat.

Bill, I haven't heard a word about Lei lege since the Dartmouth game and that was over a month ago. I hope as a Christmas present I hear the Thanks giving scores but suppose it will take almost until the middle of January for such news to reach me.- There are about_eighteen State men here with the various outfits They are made up of State's select and some of them are "Iflie" Davis, Sutton, Hart man.

We find a new one every day. 1 also ran into "Red" Hastings and some other Pitt fellows at the other day You should see me trying to talk to these French people It Is a joke but I get along all right. Sort of a shame I took German at College. This country is quite a place and not so different from America, except for the people and then• customs. We were in for a short time but did not see enough of the place to mention It lam planning a trip up there as ,00n as I am allowed a day or t' o off We are just — getting settled here and are longing to get to real work.

I am not pet muted to say much about anything because of the strict censm ship, but am saving my prize stories for fanning gees when I return.
