Show ART. TURNER HAS LANDED IN FRANCE Art Turner, one of the recruits df Beaver county, is now in France, according ac-cording to word received by relatives rela-tives in this city. He says that when they left the United States it was at night and that for two days and a half they were kept below on the ship where it was dark, and were not allowed to speak a word to a fellow fel-low soldier. "We were certainly pleased when we were allowed to go up on deck," said he, "for some of us had begun to get seasick." In a card received at this office yesterday Art says "Several of the Beaver county boys are still together togeth-er Don Kirkland, G. A. Parkinson. Chas. Jameson and myself. You will no doubt have heard of "Tuscania," a troop ship being sunk in Irish waters. This is the first ship carrying car-rying U. S. troops to be sunk. We were in the same waters, but very fortunately were not hit. The experience ex-perience of being in actual warfare is on us now and all are more determined deter-mined than ever to do their best. We are all in good shape and ready to go. Give my regards to all Milford and Beaver county." His address la Battery E., 148th F. A., A. E. F. |
