| Fighters of Scandinavian extraction
in the 151st Field Artillery, by their
bravery on the battlefield and their
steadfastness to duty, have brought
honor to Minnesota and to their own
kin in the northwest-such was the
message from Colonel Geo. f. Leach,
brought to Minneapolis from the front
last Friday by Floyd Gibbons, war cor.
respondent for The Minneapolis Jour
nal and the Chicago Tribune. The
commander paid the highest tribute
to the patriotism and soldierly quail
ties of his men. Colonel Leach told
me that If there had been any mis-:
givings as to the northwest, they
should be set at rest by the gallantry
and steadfastness of the boys of
Scandinavian stock in the regiment -
Gibbons reported. "He said there
were no better fighters in the Army
and declared that they were the back
bone Of the 151st. "Scandinavians
have covered themselves with glory
and medals" he, said, they have. lived
| up to the very, best American fighting
traditions and the traditions of their
forefathers. "-Glenwood Herald.
