CAMnnmrjK, Mass., Aug. 2D.
Organization of the Officers' Iron Battal
ion, composed of 550 reserve officers, study
ing advanced trench warfare at Harvard
under the direction ot tho French Mission,
took place today.
The second company, which Is composed
of 100 officers from Plattsburg, fifty from
Fort Niagara and fifteen each from Ogle
thorpe and McPherson, was placed In com
mand of Captain Joseph IV. Clegg. of Phila
delphia. The position of first lieutenant
was given to Captain A. W. Swain, who
also was placed In charge of the First Pla
toon. J. R. Feaster, Jr., and K. P. Roth,
two other reservists from Philadelphia,
were made corporals.
Colonel Azan. head of the French mis
sion, named tho organization after that
celebrated "Iron Battalion," the daring and
courage of whoso members Is known all
over France. He told the men he was sure
that when they reached France as officers
they would more than uphold the reputation
of their namesakes.
The colonel and his fellow-officers of the
mlslon are to give a dinner to representa.
tlves of tho three companies on Friday at
the Harvard Club, of Boston. Captain
Clegg Is one of the men chosen to represent
the second company. Tho 550 officers will
next week return the compliment, dining
the Frenchmen In Boston.
Major William W. Klynn, tho com
mandant, nnnounced today that tho men
will not bo allowed tlmo off on Labor Day.
This proved a disappointment, especially
since the officers In reporting to Harvard
had to forgo the twelve days' furlough
granted the other members of their re
spective camps.
