FROM GLEN PELLING

Glenn Pelling, a Crowley boy who
is one of the members of the ex-

written his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. G.
N. Pelling, under date of November
"a from LeMans, France. in which
he speaks of some of the Ordway
boys over there. Extracts from the
letter follow:
Well. this being Sunday and not
being very busy I will write you a
few lines. 1t don't seem possible
that this letter will not reach you
until Christmas time. Well. here is
wishing you Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year. There is no
telling where I will be by that tine.
but I am sure that this will be the
happiest Christmas that the United
States, and. in fact, the world, has
ever known.

Dear Dad-Tommorrow is Dads
day in the A. e. F. and as l am on
guard tonight and have a chance to
use the piece of typewriter they
have in the office am going to beat
them to 1t and do my duty tonight.
The lid has been taken of the CEN
sorship for the time being at least
and 1 can at last tell you asfew OF
the places have been and some OF
the things I have seen. Heretofore
there has been SO little one could say
in a letter that it seemed almost
useless to try to write at all, and 1t
was a problem to know what kind
of word to send home, but now l can
settle few ideas that you no doubt
have wondereds more or less about.
You already know most of the
Lrio to our leaving for France and
so l will start there and give you n
little of what we have done since.
OF course about the time we thought
there were numerous rumors float
ing around as to the time we were
loading on boat and what boat we
would sail on and where we were to
land, and about most of the details
of the trip most of which turned
out to be untrue, as rumors have
the habit of doing.
orr for the Big War
However. on Jan. 3 we did load
our barrack bags on the train and
we thought we were off for sure,
and you can imagine our disappoint-
ment then when we were, ordered to
unload again and had to go back to
quarantine.
On January % we again loaded
our bags and this time we followed
them, and in the course of a few
hours were set afoot on the docks
and hustled on board boat. We
could see 1t was large liner, but ow-
ing to the secrecy and speed made in
loading at that time were put be-
low decks at once and remained
there until we We're well out Of New
York harbor. Only the few that were
above on guard were fortunate
enough to bid the Statue of Liberty
"good-bye." You may know we were
ticklkd upon being allowed to go
above; that we were sailing on the
Baltic. one of the largest liners
afioat and at one time. not very re-
mote, the largest and fastest on the
sea. We were quartered In fairly
good rooms and Jared much better
than some Of the bows who came
over on regular transports.
Our meals were mostly of the Eng
lish variety. including tea and mar
malade, which the boys all relished
for the first dav or so, but for some
reason they seemed to tire of all food
after we were out day or so. Some
of them even had a notion that they
wanted to die for awhile, but most
of them have gotten over that idea
now.
we had on board with us Major
General Crozier., Irwin s. Cobb and
several other noted men. who gave
the boys a talk once in awhile. Aside
from this we had regular boxing and
