The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1918-02-06

by General Getty last week. 1t was
chosen from list of over thousand
suggestions as the name for the di-
vision. And it is appropriate too. Gen
eral Getty says he expects the boys OF
the eighty-eighth to 60 through the
German soldiers "Over there just as
hundreds of them from this corn belt
have been wont to go through the corn
| fields. The name will go to France
with the division.
There is reason to believe that Maj
! Gen. Edward H. Plummer will not re-
turn to Camp Dodge. All major gen
erals in command of divisions have
been summoned to France to study
battle methods at close range. All
have returned except General Woods
and Plummer. Officers at Dodge be.
lieve General Pershing intends to keep
them there and make them part of his
staff. In which event Brig. Gen. Get
ty, now commander at Camp Dodge, is
expected to succeed General Plummer.
Col. Harrison J. Price, commander
of the 35Oth infantry, Iowa men was
asked the question whether the boys
from the farm or the city make. the
best soldiers. He answered that THE

dier as the man from the city and the
man from the city is as good sol
dier as the man from the country, and
these middle west boys are the best
soldiers in the world. Colonel Price
says there is practically no difference
in their ability to take too" the army
work and military life. But hes does
find this difference-that the younger
men from the country, while oftimes
stronger and heartier, are more sus-
ceptible to kids diseases" as the
army calls them-chicken pox, mumps,
measles, etc Colonel Price declares
this is due to the fact that the kids in
the country have not been exposed to
them like the kids in the city. The
city kids have had these diseases and
the country kids have not.
Work has been rushed to the limit
in the hope of completing hospital ad.
ditions at the cantOnment before the
arrival of the last increment Of the di-
vision. The quartermaster's depart
ment has been authorized by Washing
ton to procure lumber from any source
possible and to build wings to the
present main hospital with all possible
speed.
With less than half division here.
the present hospital facilities have
proven entirely inadequate and the
barracks have been pressed into hos.
Ipital service.
"If you find an unexploded shell
anywhere near this camp, let it alone,
| it might 60 Off"
This warning has been issued to all
persons in the vicinity of Camp Dodge.
Some of the shells used in artillery
practice have failed to explode. The
fuse may still be set and any @mper-
ing might set of the shell. The sol
diers Go NOT fool with them.
Ninety-five per cent Of the soldiers
have taken out government war insur-
ance. The vast majority are for $lO.-
900 policies. General Getty is con-
Quoting campaign to induce every
man in the camp to take advantage of
government insurance.
Every company at Camp Dodge has
a phonograph Of some sort, some OF
them more than one. They were given
by Des MOineS and many Iowa mer-
chants, as we'll as business men from
other states. Now, if you want to do
your bit, send all the records you can.
Any kind of record is good. II it
won't work on one cOmpany's machine,
another machine will soon be found.
1t has been announced that when the
soldiers get across the Atlantic they
will discard their present puttees for
spiral leggings-their hats will be eX-
changed for helmets and each man
will get sleeveless leather vest.
