Soldiers of -Forty-first Infantry
Declare Local Post Superior
to Camp Dodge Cantonment.

Out at Fort Croob Monday after
noon several hundred young soldiers
were passing the autumn hours in
picturesque drills. But underneath
their apparent ease lay a foundation
of hard work, of many weary days of
training at Fort Snelling last 9um
r mer. With all was an earnest pur
pose that has carried these young
volunteers from all walks of life and
all parts 6f the country into the Forty-first
United Statei infantry, of
which one battalion will winter at
Fort Crook.
As they wove in jand out, they
charged with bayonets and swung
' hand grenades ancient weapons used
by soldiers of Caesar's legions and
resurrected to take a place side by
side with the most intricate long
.range guns and the high-powered
flyers of modern days.
Vast changes in warfare have come
since the summer of 1914. Old meth
ods have been discarded and new ones
must be learned by the most experi
enced officers. Captain Cook, com
manding officer of the battalion, was
trained at West Point and has had
years of acfive service, but he, as
- well as the newest recruit, is work-,
ing hard, learning and applying new
ideas.
Twa companies, K and L, were on
the paade ground at Fort Crook, the
other two, I and M were at the rifle
V range, twelve miles away. In a week
they will return and exchange places
with the ones now at the fort. (
Most of the Forty-first infantry is
' composed" of new recruits, enlisted
last summer. They were trained at
Fort Snelling during the summer and
fall. " The young officers of the re
serve corns who got their training
with them and passed the examina
tions there are now at Fort Crook in
charge of these men.
Two Captains.
There are also a few experienced
officers and a number of enlisted men
,who have been in service some time;
There are two captains in the bat
talion, Captain Cook, the command
ing offiter, and Captain Whiting, the
latter wll known in Omaha.x.ieu
tenant Drake is another Omaha man
on the staff, which includes also the
following: Lieutenants Trelstad,
Johnson, Boughton, Milne, Freehoff,
Fingarson, Wiggins, McReynolds,
Miller, Whittman, Marsh, Johnston,
and Kupfer. '
., They come from all over the country.
A large number of the enlisted men
came from the recruiting station at
Columbus, O., but their homes are in
many different parts of the country.
New York state is especially well
represented. .,
Like Nebraska.
"We like Nebraska," said Chief
Clerk Forrest of Company K. "This
is a fine place fir camp. I am sur
prised they did 'not make acanton
ment camp of it. To my mind the
situation far excels that at Camp
' Dodge, which I recently risited."
Sergeant Major Henry DeLare is
another man who is satisfied that the
battalion is to winter in Fort Crook.
He is from New York, like so many
others of the company.
"While we had good (training at
v Fort Snelling, wc are far from being
in th mnrlirinn nppderl at the front."
he said. "We expect to work hard 1
this winter so we can get to France
early in the spring." ;
The Forty-first infantry is now
broken up intersections, which are
parceled out in five different states.
There is one section in Missouri, ore
in Minneapolis, one at Fort Shen-
dan, 111., one at Fort Wajnne, Ind.,
and. this one in Nebraska. In the
spring they will be asstmbled once
more and sent to France.
