CAMP FUNSTON NEWS.

April I'm their first big di-
visional review, the thousands
of troops from Camp Funston
marched last week before Miss
Margaret Wilson, daughter OF
the President, Generals Ballou,
Winn and Hanson, Governor
julius C. Gunter and Adjutant
General Baldwin of Colorado.
The plateau at the north OF
the Fort Riley reservation was
the scene of the huge massing
of troops, the lines of infantry
artillery, engineers and signal
troops with all of the attendant
wagon and truck trains reaching
for miles across the hills. With
flags flying and bands playing
at the command of "Pass IN re-
view," each battalion swung into
the column which wheeled out
into the line of march extending
far over the plateau and in front
of the reviewing officers.
Miss Wilson was not with the
main portion of the reviewing
party. The Presidents daugh-
ter arrived late and had her car
parked inconspicuously to one
side as the Middle Vests army
of democracy. which had been
past in full equipment for ser
vice.
The big troop movement to
the flats some six miles out
from Funston commenced early
raised at her fathers call, swung
in the morning, several routes
being followed by the many or
ganizations to avoid congestion.
Once on the ground they were
formed in two great lines, in one,
the infantry, engineers and sig
nal troops being parked, and the
second being composed OF
mounted troops and trains. New
units kept arriving over the hills
from the camp even while half
of the long column had passed
the reviewing party, but SO per-
fectly had the event been plan
ned. as each later organization
pulled into it's appointed posi-
ton on schedule time it went
forward and wheeled into the
moving line in it's proper place.
The troops carried full field
service equipment; Immediately
after passing in review, each
organization pulled ahead on the
double quick, leaving the line
and proceeding to the place for
its afternoon inspection. By
noon the entire column had pass
ed, and the plain as far as the
eye could see was covered with
bivouaced troops, motor trucks
and supply wagons by the hum
dred were parked LII long lines ID
various parts of the field, shell
ter tents were erected to form
scores of camps in which the
troops ate lunch, and afterward
prepared for the approach OF the
inspecting officer.
Miss Wilson, who was the
guest of Mrs. General Frank L.
Winn, was most interested in
this portion of the days events.
She saw everything the soldiers
own, from blankets to tooth
brushes, brought out and laid in
front of the shelter tents in reg
ulation order. She saw the men
who had come here a few
months ago as raw recruits and
who had just marched past as

the feet, Leadership and Team
Work, Advice to the Soldier, in
'tluding care of equipment, shoes
and mess outfit, and many 9TH
ers that give the new men the
proper groundwork for what
they will encounter later.
The training at the detention
camp makes the men realize the
value and necessity of snappy
discipline and cleanliness. By
the time they join the organiza-
ton to which they are assigned
they will have learned the the
ory and some of the practice of
soldering, and will know where
to look for additional informa-
tion should they care to study
further. They will have been
'broken in" Through Colonel
Crimmins' methods the change
from civilian to soldier life
comes easily, and the men will
leave the camp not only prepared
and ready, but in most cases en-
Ithusiastic, for the intensive
training which will make them
fit soldiers of Democracy.
Held by the Army Y. M. C. A.
in conjunction with the military
authorities, the Easter ser
vices held in the natural amphi-
theatre on this hillside at Fun
ston presented a spectacle Of
note. On the hillside was erect
ed a cross On which was draped
the flag Of Belgium, typifying
1.-THE crucifiXion of that land at

numbered among the thousands
who tock part in the impressive

the neatest men are the best
fighters.
Miss Margaret Wilson, daugh-
ter of the President, gave two
concerts while at Camp Funston,
one being for the men in the Y.
M. C. A. auditorium and the
other for the officers I'M the Off
GERS Y. M. C. A. building. Her
appearances were held under the
auspices of the War Work
Council of the Y. M. G. A. While
at Funston she was the guest of
Mrs. General Frank L. Winn
and was entertained at several
affairs given in her honor.
Through the innovation of a
training schedule introduced by
1t. Col. M. L. Crimmins at the
detention camp at Funston in
which newly arrived men spend
their first two weeks, the hard
est part of the breaking in from
civilian to soldier life is elirnin-
ated. The camp has been made,
lin effect, a training school for
the new men, giving them
through lectures and practical
drill application, the rudiments
of the problems they will take
up in detail later in their train
ing.
The days are divided up into
fourteen half hour periods, al
ternating drill, lectures and 9TH
er duties, the object being to en-
courage mental alertness and en-
thusiasm, keep up interest and
instruct the men without caus-
ing the physical and mental
fatigue that the unaccustomed
civilian usually encounters in
entering the army.
The lectures laid out by Col
onel Crimmins explain them
selves. Some of them are Mill.
tary Courtesy. Loyalty and
Obedience, Rights and Duties,
