PREFACE
"b "b V
It is the purpose of this vohime to give a true history of Howard
County in the World War. It includes a brief biography of practically
all of the participants, and a short sketch of the war activities carried
on by the people at home. To have given the story in detail would have
required volumes, but in compiling this material, it has been my pur-
pose to set forth clearly the most important events as they occurred. A
special effort was made to secure pictures of all the boys, but this proved
to be impossible for in many cases there were no photographs to be had.
In a number of instances the only pictures available were "snap shots",
and these did not reproduce very well. Other prints had to be made
from photographs taken in France- and Germany and these too did not
make clear halftones.
In gathering this data, I have exhausted every means at my com-
mand to get accurate information. More than four thousand letters
were written to soldiers and their parents, asking them to co-operate in
making the record complete. Notices published in the local newspapers,
solicited the support of the public in supplying historical data. Soldiers'
letters, newspaper clippings, and notices of transfer of troops proved to
be valuable sources of information. Lists of soldiers and war workers
were furnished by the township, county, ward and precinct chairmen,
teachers, pupils, lodges, city librarian and ministers. To all these, and
others who so cheerfully assisted in making this volume possible, I wish
to express my deep appreciation. I would indeed be ungrateful if I did
not make special mention of the Kokomo DaUj Tribnne and the Kokomo
Daily Dispatch, as both papers gave valuable support to the undertaking.
I am also indebted to Elwood Haynes for his valuable assistance, to Mrs.
Ruth Ross Herrman for her splendid service in collecting material, to Miss
Ida I. Ward for her assistance, and to John W. Oliver, Director of the
State Historical Commission, for his hearty co-operation.

THE AWAKENING
t- t- V
Great events in human history often hang by a slender thread, and
it requires only the slightest jar to precipitate a revolution. In 1914
very few people believed that civilization was builded upon a latent vol-
cano, which was ready to burst forth at the least provocation and de-
stroy all that had been gained during the past centuries. Yet this was
literally true as subsequent events so clearly demonstrated.
During the last days of June of that fateful year, Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, and his wife, were
murdered in Bosnia, a Serbian province, which had recently been seized
by Austria. Immediately following the tragedy war seemed imminent,
but matters quickly adjusted themselves, and the event seemed to have
been forgotten. When, suddenly without any warning Austria sent
Serbia an ultimatum, which was exacting and humiliating in its terms,
and only a brief forty-eight hours was given for acceptance. Serbia did
not fully accept the terms as laid down in the ultimatum. Whereupon,
at the suggestion of Germany, Austria withdrew her ambassador and
prepared for war. Russia hastened to little Serbia's assistance ; and im-
mediately following, Germany declared war on Russia, despite the
frantic efforts of England to prevent it.
The American people were amazed and horrified that civilized na-
tions should resort to arms to settle their misunderstandings. They
could scarcely understand that war was indeed a reality, until they
saw nation after nation plunge headlong into the irresistible whirlpool
of war, which threatened the very foundations of civilization.
The question was asked on every hand, Why this war? Why had
peaceful people suddenly rushed to arms, instead of submitting their dis-
putes to arbitration? There was but one answer — Germany had gone
insane from military intoxication, and was striking for world power.
Realizing that success depended upon attacking her enemies before they
had time to mobilize their forces, Germany without warning abrogated
her treaties and marched across Belgium's territory to strike at the
heart of France. Belgium resisted, and her army was crushed, her coun-
try devastated, and her people dragged into slavery. She lost all except
honor; but so long as history is read, the story of her brave little army,
which held in check the on-coming hordes of German soldiers, until the
French and English could marshal their forces, will be given the place of
honor with Leonidas and his three hundred soldiers who died to save
Greece. Belgium was given a chance to save herself, if she would per-
mit the German army to pass through her country unmolested, but this
she would not do ; she preferred to die, rather than sacrifice her honor.
In spite of their aversion to war, the American people began to realize

that sooner or later they too would be drawn into the conflict. They
wanted to remain neutral, but that A\as an impossibility, because the war
was a conflict between the forces of right and wrong ; it was a struggle for
supremacy between the principles of autocracy and democracy, and it was
to decide whether civilization or barbarism should dominate the human
race. When issues like these were at stake, there was no question as to
what the American people would do. However, the Germans had prepared
for just such an emergency by spreading insidious propaganda broadcast
throughout this country, telling of German efficiency, of her splendid uni-
versities, her music, her literature, and her KULTUR. So systematically
and thoroughly was it done that Germany had won the respect and ad-
miration of a great number of people. The Kaiser explained at length
that Germany had not sought war, but that she had been attacked and
had struck only to save her integrity. The stories of atrocities com-
mitted by the German soldiers during the early days of the war were
given but little credence. Americans- had not fully understood the Ger-
man mind which had been molded by the military party in its forty years
of preparation for the day when it would strike for a place in the sun.
The war lords of Germany had thought to terrify her enemies by fright-
fulness. Gradually, reports filtered through to this country that could
not be disputed. Mutilated Belgian children were brought to this coun-
try and their mute story was enough to convince the most skeptical.
Returning soldiers told of the savage butchery of the aged and infirm.
Even those who had gone to minister to the wants of the sick and
wounded, when captured, were despoiled and murdered. There was no
crime so henious, no cruelty so severe, and no deed so vile that Germans
hesitated to inflict it upon those, who by all the laws of civilized war-
fare, were entitled to protection.
Notwithstanding the fact that Germany had violated her treaties and
had not hesitated to strike down any nation that opposed her will, the
American people thought ce}'tainly their rights would be respected and
that the United States would escape the cataclysm which threatened to
engulf the entire world. But to stay neutral was impossible. American
ships were sunk without warning ; the lives of her citizens were destroyed,
and the nation was humiliated and insulted. All of this was done de-
liberately, despite the repeated protests and warnings of President Wil-
son. There was a time when Germany seemed to accede to America's
demands, but it was only for a brief time, for she soon announced her
policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, which stated that all vessels,
neutral as well as enemy, would be sunk without warning, if they were
found in the war zone. The announcement of such a policy was more
than the American people could endure. President Wilson immediately
severed diplomatic relations with the Imperial German Government, and
the United States Congress declared war April 6, 1917.
The die was cast, the United States had crossed the Rubicon and a
12 Howard County in the World War
peace loving people had entered the fearful maelstrom, not for aggrandise-
ment of territory, but to establish justice in the world, to secure the safety
of her owni people, and to destroy forever the merciless military power
which was threatening the liberties of the world.
Immediately following the declaration of war, the United States Con-
gress passed the conscription act, which provided for a great army to
be made up of men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one. In
order that there might be a sufficient number of competent men to officer
the new army which was to be created, officers' training schools were
established in many parts of the United States. Indiana was favored
with one, which was located at Fort Benjamin Harrison, near Indian-
apolis.
The people of Howard County, soon after war was declared, began
to adjust themselves to war requirements. When the first officers' train-
ing school was established in May, 1917, about fifty of her finest and
best young men went into training, and at the close of the camp in August,
practically all of them had won commissions. Many more of her sons
were likewise successful in other officers' training camps which were
organized later. Recruiting officers opened headquarters for both army
and navy, and enlistments in both bi'anches of the service were heavy.
The first registration for conscripted men took place June 5, 1917.
Later, all men who had reached their majority since the date of the first
registration, were required to register. Finally, in order to secure all
the men necessary to win the war, Congress passed an act requiring all
men between the ages of nineteen and forty-five, inclusive, who had not
registered heretofore, to do so on Sept. 12. 1918. Each registration was
conducted without interruption, and soon the boys were called by groups
to the different cantonments. The first increment of conscripted men,
thirteen in number, left Kokomo, Ind., for Camp Zachary Taylor, Ky.,
Friday, Sept. 5, 1917. From that time, at more or less regular intervals
until the close of the war, boys were sent to be trained in the business of
war.
The citizens of Howard County wishing to do honor to the boys as
they left for camp, gathered in great numbers at the railroad station
to see them off. The scenes at the station as the boys took their de-
parture were most impressive, and once witnessed could never be for-
gotten. This was especially true when a large number of boys were
sent away at one time. It seemed that the whole town and country-side
turned out to give the boys a word of cheer before they went away. The
band stirred the crowd with martial music. Veterans of the Civil War were
there, bent in form and slow of step ; yet the fire of patriotism burned in
their breasts as strongly as it had in '61. Their very presence was an
inspiration. Fathers, mothers, and friends, all were there to bid the
boys good-by and Godspeed. When all was in readiness the boys clam-
bered aboard a waiting train, and were soon on their way to become a
Howard County in the World War 13
part of Uncle Sam's great army which was rapidly being whipped into
shape. Of course, the boys could not fully realize what was before them,
but they had the courage and the will born only to a free people, to
fight for a principle.
It was while the home folks stood watching the receding train carry-
ing with it the young manhood of the community, that war became a
reality to the people of Howard County. From that time the trans-
formation was made quickly and thoroughly. The spirit of patriotism
burned a little brighter in their breasts; self was forgotten; the light of
a new day had dawned ; new ideals had quickened the conscience ; the
love of country had been deepened; faith in a just cause had been strength-
ened, until the people had fully prepared to follow the lines of action that
would bring about most speedily the annihilation of the murderous mili-
tary power of Germany and her allies.
The people of the Atlantic States believed that the Middle West
was not fully aroused to the dangers that threatened this country. But
when war was once declared the people of this section entered into the
fight with so much spirit that the East was outdistanced, and was
wont to look to the West for plans of organization. Indiana was right
at the front in all war activities, and loyally supported the National
Government in all its war measures. The States were indebted to the
individual counties for the excellent showing which was made. Howard
County did not shirk any duty that was entrusted to her, but came for-
ward in her own characteristic way, and "put over" every war measure
allotted to her.
She raised her full quota for the Red Cross, Young Men's Christian
Association, Young Women's Christian Association, Knights of Columbus,
Salvation Army, and Jewish organization. She also oversubscribed her
quota for each bond and war stamp allotment. In fact the citizens of
Howard County did their full share toward winning the war, by giving
of their time, money, and men. Her boys who went into the service did
their part nobly. There was no duty so exacting and no sacrifice so great
that they did not gladly and cheerfully perform it. They left their homes
feeling that they had entered into a righteous cause, and this gave them
courage to do their duty Avhether it was at home, at sea, or on the battle-
fields of Europe. Some were at St. Mihiel; others at Chateau Thierry,
the turning point of the war; and still others broke the stubborn resist-
ance in the Argonne Forest. Her boys were attached to the famous
divisions that took part in the great drives on the Western Front, not
only with the Americans, but with the English, French and Italians;
they were at Archangel and Vladivostok ; they were on the Mexican Bor-
der, at Manila, and dowii at Panama ; they were guarding our own coasts,
and training in our camps. Wherever duty called, Howard County boys
were there ready, if necessary, to make the supreme sacrifice.
