AMERICAN FORESTRY 



647 



THE TWENTIETH ENGINEERS (FOREST) 



der the command of Col. W. A. Mitchell, U. S. A. 

 The work of the two regiments, insofar as concerns 

 forestry, lumbering and sawmill operation, will be un- 

 der the general supervision of Lieut.-Col. Henry S. 

 Graves, who is on leave of absence from his duties as 

 United States Forester. He is director of the division 

 of forestry with the American Expeditionary Forces. 

 Major William B. Greeley, assistant United States For- 

 ester and a director of the American Forestry Associa- 



tion, is deputy director of the division of forestry. 

 Recruiting of the third battalion of the 20th was well 

 under way early in November and this organization 

 will soon be ready for service. The first and second bat- 

 talions were reviewed by Secretary of War Ba^er and 

 Chief of Engineers Black on November 10 and received 

 warm praise for their appearance and condition. Some 

 idea of the work the regiment will do in France is given 

 by pictures in this issue.
