Dastardly  Work  of the  German  Avia¬ tors     Most     Persistent—Devastated' Cities     and     Homes—Quarters     and Work of tne Boys at the Front. Tlie   following    U-tl'r    was   received, from   Sergeant   U,   L.   Pennyiiacker,   of l''ort   Wasliington.   who  Is  in  the   ^lathi lield   hospital,   304  sanitary  train :
All of us boys have gone throug'.i the real thing since I wrote to you, and as tar as I am concerned 1 have .seen aiid gone through enough to last nie for awhile. We. had been at a very active part of the front until a few days ago. We had the extreme pleas¬ ure of having our hospital blown to pieces by the Germans and as luck would have it only one ot our com¬ pany was slightly wounded. We have gotten used to shell tire by this time, and I can tell by the sound whether or not It is necessary to "duck."
We are now at a Ie.ss active part and the only excitement we have is Boche airplanes, and they have been flying over us all evening. Every time he comes over us we must put out the lights, and he has held up this letter for nearlv an hour tonight. He will fool around until he drops a few bombs around us and then he will go home and visit us another night. 1 don't feel as though he has a shell with my name on It and the way our boys are going through them I think we will all be home soon. Everything one hears here is peace proposals, and 1 "^now every boy who is over here.jssjill be glad to hear of the end In the near future. This letter may lead you to believe I am not in very good spirits, but I can assure you that I am well and happy, but now we are living flne again. 'Vfe There have been days when we were separated fyom the company and got nothing to eat but a piece of bread, but now we are living flne agin. We had luck enough to flnd a potato patch that the French planted. Later the Gerans took the ground and cultivated it. and now our boys drove them out and we are eating French fried pota¬ toes about once a day. So you see anything we come across in this ooun¬ try belongs to us,
I have had lots of German souvenirs, but one must carry them all the time or else some one else picks them up, and now I flnd myself without any of them until we see some more prison¬ ers, and we certainly see lots of them. Some of our boys are living in dug¬ outs just now, but there are eight of us in a tent with a nice big stove in it, and things are very comfortable when we have it clo.sed up.
I certainly would like to run into Gordon Kittson, but he Is quite a dis¬ tance from me, and 1 think there is scarcely any danger of his not getting back. I bet he would like to get clos¬ er to see the fire woi^ks, but once any¬ one sees what had previously been no- man's land and all the ruined and de¬ solated cities and town»ii i* certalnl; :el, __ ¦    S.,....
to  stiffler ¦ Jllte  These  l-'reno people.
The only one 1 have seen is "Bill" Yeakle, and it surely make.s one feel .uood to meet some one from the Fort. 1 have not seen Kreps or "Woody" since we have been at the front, but a fellow told me that Woody came through all right, but 1 cannot tind anytiiing out about  Kreps.

Despite the tact that William Donatt. a Barren Hil] boy, well known In Whitemarsh and' surroundings, had been foiniallv reported as havins been killed in action, word has come from him that he is recovering from wounds.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Donatt, of Barren Hill, received word from him last week, in a letter bearin,g date of October 5, stating that not only is he alive and making .good progress in the recovery of the wounds he had sustained, but Is giving as¬ sistance at the hospital in the care of his comrades who had been less for¬ tunate.
When the announcement came of the alleged death of the young man. for some reason there was no word di¬ rectly for the parents, througli general publication was given to the formal statement. This raised a doubt in the minds of tlie much disturbed parents, and they consulted the Red Cross peo¬ ple in Conshohocken. The hitter be¬ gan an investigation at once througli their various agencies with the result that the death was disproved, word of his whereabout coming iibout the same time that the letter from the younf< soldier cime.
