The Yankee On The Marne
Ho! the h'English h'an' the h'lrish h'an' the 'owiing Scotties, too,
The Cannucks h'an' h'Austryleans h'an' the 'airy French Pollu,
The h'only thing that bothered us a year before we knew
Was wot h'iii 'ell the Yanks 'ud look and wot h'in 'ell they'd do !
They didn't 'ave no tr'inin', an' they didn't know the gyme.
They 'adn't never marched much, 'an their shootin' was the syme,
'An the h'only thing that bothered us way back in lawst July
Was 'ow in 'ell the line would 'old h'if they should ryn aw'y!
Them leggy nosey new 'uns — just come across the sea,
We couldn't 'elp but wonder 'ow in 'ell their guns would be.
H'an the 'honly thing that bothered us h'in all the staggerin' ranks
Was w'at in 'ell would 'appen h'if the 'Uns should 'it the Yanks.
My word ! H'it 'appened sudden when the drive 'ad first begun.
We see'd the Yanks arunnin' ! Gaw blimy ! 'Ow they run !
But the h'only thing that bothered us that see'd the chyse begin
Was 'ow in 'ell to stop 'em, 'fore they got into Berlin !
They didn't 'ave no tactics but the bloody manuel,
They 'adn't learned no borders but "OORAY" and "Give 'em 'ell !"
But the h'only thing that bothered us about them leggy lads
Was 'ow in 'ell to get the chow to feed their "Kamerads."
So we're standin' hall together in a stifish firin' line,
H'an' hif anyone should hawsk us, you can say "we're doin' fine."
But the h'only thing that bothers us, and that don't bother much.
His where h'in 'ell to get the dirt to cover up the Dutch.
Gaw's truth h'its rotten fightin' that hall the troops 'ave seen,
The 'Uns a dirty player, becos he's always been.
But the h'only thing that bothers us in 'andin' 'in our thanks
Is 'ow in 'ell we'd done it if it weren't for the Yanks.
Ho ! the H'English h'an' the H'lrish h'an' the 'owlin' Scotties, too.
The Cannucks h'an' H'Austryleans h'an' the 'airy French Pollu,
The h'only thing that bothered us don't bother us no more,
Hit's why in 'ell we didn't know the Yankee boys before.

ADMIRAL WILLIAM SIMS.
The United States Enters The War
AMERICA'S entrance into the Great War marked the beginning of the end.
This country had been slow in believing the stories of German atrocity in
France and Belgium, but as evidence accumulated, and after the wholesale
murder of women and children on the Lusitania, May 7, 1915, American
indignation was aroused, and millions would have welcomed an immediate declara-
tion of war. The government at Washington, however, thought it would be wiser
to wait until more evidence had been collected before commencing hostilities.
Two years passed, during which time every effort on the part of Presider.t
Wilson was made to make Germany realize that she was violating all the laws of
■civilized warfare. After Berlin's repeated promises had been proven to be but a
series of brazen lies, the break finally came, when, on January 31, 1017, the Hun
government added open insult to repeated injuries in decreeing to itself the owner-
.ship of half the Atlantic ocean, for its submarines. It assumed to bar out of the
"war zone" not only enemy vessels but neutral ships as well, under penalty of
<iestruction by submarines. This country was forbidden to send to any port in
Creat Britain more than one ship a week, and this vessel was to be distinguished
according to German instructions, a barber pole decoration being suggested.
The German ambassador was handed his passports on February ?,rd, and on
February 26th President Wilson asked Congress for authority to arm merchant
ships.
UNITED STATES BREAKS WITH GERMANY.
On April :3d, President Wilson asked Congress to declare the existence of a
•state of war with Germany, and this was done on April 6th, Good Friday.
Austria-Hungary severed diplomatic relations with the United States on April
8th, and on April 21st Turkey took the same action.
Ninety-nine German merchant ships which had remained in our ports because
of fear of being captured by French and British war vessels, were seized by the
United States.
The first American naval fleet sailed immediately, and on May 4th the Ameri-
can destroyers began co-operation with the British navy in the war zone.
It was on May 18th that President Wilson signed the Selective Service Act,
"which called into service all able-bodied men between the ages o| twenty-one and
thirty-one.
On June 26th American troops began to land in France, and they saw their
first fighting on October 27th. The remainder of the year on this side was largely
■consumed in raising and training an army, which finally grew to two million men
in France, and as many more preparing to follow them, when successive surrenders
•of Bulgaria. Turkey, Austria and Germany ended the war.
MARINES ADD TO VICTORY ROLL.
The Germans, balked in their direct attempts to divide the British and French
and reach the channel ports, launched a new drive between Soissons and Rheims,
10 HoLYOKE Ix The Great War.
with Paris as the goal. In six daj's the Huns had hamniort'd across tlic Aisne and,
for the first time since September, 1914, reached the Marne, in the region of Cha-
teau-Thierry. The French and Americans defeated their attempts to pusli further
down the Ourcq and the Marne. At Cantigny and Belleau Wood the United States
soldiers, marines, added new names to a victory roll that had its beginning at the
birth of this country in 1775.
During the first six months of 1918 it was a race between this country and
Germany. For weeks it was a question whether the Yankees could cross the At-
lantic fast enough. They were arriving in France at the rate of about 300,000
a month, but the big question was whether they could get in the battle line quickly-
enough. It was about the first of July, 1918, that this question was answered, for
more than a million Americans were in France. They were literally pouring in,
10,000 men a day, undaunted by U-boat raids on the American coast.
What proved to be the last German drive was opened on July 15th. Unable to-
open the way to Paris along the Oise and Ourcq valleys, they tried again from
Chateau-Thierry to Rheims and eastward across Champagne to the edge of the
Argonne forest.
SECOND BATTLE OF THE MARNE.
The attack was held within the French battle zone. Southwest of Rheims the
Huns crossed the Marne and turned their drive toward Epernay. An example of
American fighting came on July 18th, when the American marines went into Cha-
teau-Thierry, 8,000 strong. Their casualties were 6,000 killed, wounded, gassed,
shell-shocked and prisoners. But they halted the Hun advance. Marshal Foch had
anticipated the plan of the enemy, and strong reserves were gathered in the forest
of Villers-Cotterets, to the southwest of Soissons, and these were hurled against
the west flank of the Marne wedge.
This took the enemy by surprise, for it was engaged on the east side of the
wedge. The Germans fell back before the Franco-American forces.
The dfive toward Epernay was the high tide of the Hun, and Chateau-Thierry
marked its final break. After that the Allies kept on the offensive, and never
again lost that advantage. Foch gradually extended pressure all around the Marne
pocket. The resistance of the Hun was stubborn, and by desperate efiforts he held
the corners of the pocket and its mouth open through a retreat across the Vesle. A
few days later Marshal Foch struck again at the nose of the Somme salient. Brit-
ish and French troops advanced from Montdidier to Albert. Again the Hun was-
taken by surprise, and by the middle of August had been driven back to the lines
held before the Somme advance of the Allies back in 1916.
By this time nearly two million Americans were in France. Heretofore they
had been brigaded with the French and British troops. Now they were to show
what they could do all by themselves. General Pershing had a million men under
his personal command along the line from Verdun southeastward across Lorraine..
IN ST. anHIEL SALIENT.
The Americans* great drive opened on September 12th and quickly smashed
in the St. Mihiel salient, which the Huns had held for four years. Within a little
more than a week the Yankees were within large gun range of the outer forts of
Metz, but did not directly attack that enormous fortress. There was a longer but-
less costly method of breaking the back of the German armies.
The tedious task of fighting through the Argonne Forest followed. It was
completed during October, and the Yankees had closed the Stenay gap and were-
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 11
driving on to Sedan. In the early days of November, that historic place, the scene
of the great French disaster in 1870, was reached. Its capture cut one of the two
great German lines of supply and retreat.
In the meanwhile French and British troops, with various Yankee outfits, had
been driving the Hun in a retreat which increased daily in speed and disorder.
The route was across French Flanders and Belgium.
Ostend and Zeebrugge, lair of the U-boats, were abandoned.
Fully 15,000 Germans were caught at the Dutch frontier and forced into inter-
ment in Holland.
When the German envoys came with white flags to Guise, on November 8th,
to receive the terms of truce from General Foch, the Allied line was from east of
Ghent and Audenaide to Maubeuge, while the Hun "Farthest West" in France,
was at Chaumont-Porcien.
ALLIED TROOPS REACH BOCROI.
Before the terms of the armistice were formally accepted, this salient had been
smashed in and Allied troops were in Rocroi, scene of a famous French victory
over 200 years ago.
The French had reached the Belgian frontier east of Avesnes, and the Cana-
dians on the morning of November 11th took Mons, a place of heroic efforts of
British forces in 1914 to stop the Hun advance.
Pershing's men, on November 10th, had attacked on a front of 71 miles from
the Meuse southeastward and were within 10 miles of the north side of Metz. If
the Huns had not submitted it was evidently the plan to pocket Metz and push
down the Moselle Valley for a direct invasion of Germany.
On November 11th the terms of the armistice went into eflfect, and on that
day hostilities ceased.

The 26th Division's Record
^i^ERHAPS no other division in the United States Army received, or deserved
m ^° receive, the credit and distinction that came to our 26th, lovingly called
^^p the Yankee Division and the New England Division. It was through hard
fighting, extreme devotion to duty and the stick-to-it quality which has
made the American doughboys the best fighters in the world, that brought to our
division all the credit due it. Much has been written on the 26th, and there is a
great deal more tliat will in time be written about the plucky boys of the New
England States, but again there is a great deal that will never find its way into
print.
The men of the 26th during the war were fighters, one and all, but in peace
they were nothing but big boys, homesick, and more than anxious to get home.
The honor of being with the Army of Occupation meant nothing to them. Their
honor was won on the field of battle, in the trenches, out in No Man's Land. They
saw no adventure in going into Germany, and they were tired of sightseeing.
A paragraph in a letter received in Holyoke from one of the Company D boys,
who was in every one of the big engagements that his outfit took part in, has never
before been published. It was written in reply to a letter from a relative who told
the fighter that she was so glad that he was to have an opportunity of seeing Ger-
many. Here it is, and it is quite characteristic of the fighting spirit of American
youths :
"Where do you get that stuff about being glad I'm going into Germany? To
hell with Germany; I've had enough of Europe. All I want is to get back home.
I never thought of home as I do now. This place was fine while there was some-
ihing doing; but nix on this scenery stuff."

WAR REPARTMENT FIGURES, FEBRUARY 2, 1919.
The War Department figures on 26th Division casualties differ considerably
from the figures announced by Governor Coolidge recently as furnished by the
State Adjutant-General's office. Major casualties include killed in action, died of
wounds, prisoners and missing. The State figures showed the 26th Division as
losing 1,730 killed in action; the War Department figures are 1,388. The State
figures on prisoners were 136, while the Washington total is 354. The State figures
gave the number of missing as 283, while the Washington totals apparently allow
for 1,102 died of wounds and missing. The State figures showed 2,149 killed, miss-
ing and prisoners, while the Washington figures show 2,864 killed, died of wounds,
prisoners and missing.

FROM GENERAL PERSHING.
Under date of "Great Headquarters, American Expeditionary Forces, February
2," General John J. Pershing cabled Director-General Barrett as follows :
"Replying to your cablegram, it gives me pleasure to send you a message about
Vermont and New England troops. Briefly stated, they merit the warmest praise
by the people they represent. They have maintained the best traditions of their
New England ancestors, and the Spirit of Seventy-six has been theirs. They have
played their full part in the splendid achievement of American arms on the battle-
field and in the supporting services."
MR. BAKER'S LETTER.
On the same date the Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, wrote Mr.
Barrett as follows :
"I have just received your note of the first.
"The 26th, or New England Division, includes the 102d Regiment of Infantry,
the 101st, 102d and 103d Machine Gun Battalions. In each of these organizations
there are components of the old First Vermont. In order, therefore, to have any
adequate appreciation of the service rendered by the Vermont soldiers in this war,
it is necessary to follow the fortunes of the 26th Division, which went into the line
on July 18, and which fought at Chateau-Thierry, Tourcy and Belleau Woods. In
September this division occupied the left of the American Army in the attack on
St. Mihiel, and closed the gap between the two American attacking wedges, cut-
ting ofif the right of the Gertpans at midnight of the first day of that battle. Im-
mediately after the St. Mihiel victory, the 26th was moved into the line east of the
Meuse, where it remained in active combat until the signing of the armistice.
"With the first and second regular army divisions, and the 42d, or Rainbow
Division, the 26th is numbered, they being considered the first four veteran divi-
sions of our great American expeditionary forces, and I would be glad to have the

people of New England know that their division, the first of the National Guard
troops to embark overseas, bore itself with distinction and gallantry, and that it
contributed on every battle field to America's real participation in the fighting and
the unbroken success of our arms." '
GENERAL MARCH'S STATEMENT.
General Peyton C. March, chief of staflf, provided Mr. Barrett with the fol-
lowing summarized "chronological statement of such activities of these troops as
are now available in the War Department" :
"The Vermont troops were incorporated into the 26th Division, the members
being distributed through the 101st Machine Gun Battalion, 102d Machine Gun Bat-
talion, 102d Infantry Regiment, 103d Machine Gun Battalion, 101st Ammunition
Train, and the 57th Pioneer Infantry Regiment.

rived at U. S. P. O. 709, training area No. 2. Artillery at Coetyuidan for training

line usually assigned to two. divisions. Was attacked twice by picked troops.
"April 10-11, 1918, the 104th was attacked in the forest of Apremont. 'April
20-21, 1918, the 102d Infantry was attacked at Seicheprey. Both attacks were re-
pulsed.. From this date until June 3, the 26th Division held the Toul sector, with

Note : "Date of Entry" and "Date Withdrawn," used above, are the dates on
which the command passed to or from the 26th Division. This table does not in
reality show the exact time which all units of this division served in line. There
were several instances where regiments and brigades entered the line several days
in advance of the passing of command to the division. Also, during the nine months'
service, from February 6, 1918, the division spent only 10 days in a rest area (just
prior to the St. Mihiel ofifensive), the balance of the time being consumed in mov-
ing from one sector to another, or in support position awaiting entry into line.

103d Infantry.
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in
action with the enemy on 18 July, 1918, near Belleau, France.
After his platoon had gained its objective along a railroad embankment, Private
Dilboy, accompanying his platoon leader to reconnoiter the ground beyond, was
suddenly fired upon by an enemy machine gun from one hundred yards. From a
standing position on the railroad track, fully exposed to view, he opened fire at
once, but, failing to silence the gun, rushed forward with his bayonet fixed, through
a wheat field towards the gun emplacement, falling within twenty-five yards of the
gun with his right leg nearly severed above the knee, and with several bullet holes
in his body. With undaunted courage, he continued to fire into the emplacement
from a prone position, killing two of the enemy and dispersing the rest of the
crew.
Next of kin: Antone Dilboy (father), Massachusetts General Hospital, Bos-
ton, Mass.

The Yankee Division Cemetery
The peasant children pass it as they leave the village school,
The pious strangers cross themselves along the road to Toul ;
The captains call attention as the dusty troops plod by,
The officers salute it, though receiving no reply ;
'Tis a spot all brown and barren, 'mid the poppies in the grain,—
The Y. D. cemetery by a roadside in Lorraine.
A row of wooden crosses and beneath the upturned sod
The hearts once wild and restless now know the peace of God.
The brave young lads who left us while life was at its flood.
While life was fresh and joyous and fire was in the blood, —
Their young lives now enfranchised from mirth or joy or pain,
They sleep the sleep eternal by a road side in Lorraine.
Of all the myriad places for the dead of man to rest,
The graveyard of the warrior for a freeman is the best ;
Oh ! not for them our pity, but far across the foam,
For the graj^-haired mother, weeping in some New England home,
'Tis she who has our pity, 'tis she who feels the pain
Of the Y. D. cemetery by a roadside in Lorraine.
The plodding columns pass them along the old Toul road ;
New companies come marching where yesterday they strode;
Above the whirr of motors, — beyond the roar of guns
Where their allies and their brothers join battle with the Huns;
And the sunlight of their glory bursts through the clouds and rain
O'er the Y. D. cemetery by a roadside in Lorraine.

HOLYOKE'S OWN COMPANY D
^^I^IIA'HILE Company D, 104th Infantry, First Battalion, 52d Brigade, of the fa-
^tltl mous 26th Division, was called out on the day the United States entered
* * the war, its history as a part of the Yankee Division does not start until
it was reorganized at Camp Bartlett, Hampton Plains, in September of
1917. From the date of the mobilization of the Second Massachusetts Regiment,
of which "Holyoke's Own" was then a part, until the reorganization, the local com-
pany did its share in guarding bridges and power plants in this state, keeping guard
at the Arsenal in Springfield, and finally establishing a record at Camp Bartlett.
It was the last company in the Second Regiment to arrive at the concentration
camp and was one of the last to leave. It was looked up to for its efficiency, and
was credited with being one of the best officered outfits in the camp.
On October 4 the local company pulled out of Camp Bartlett on a special train
and the following day arrived in Montreal. There the men went on board the S. S.
Scotian, a British transport, and went to Halifax. There luck was against them;
for they missed their convoy and had to wait four days. This was galling to the
boys, who were anxious to go over. Finally the start was made, and for seven
days Company D was at sea.
Arriving in Liverpool, England, on October 17, Company D entrained for a
camp outside of Southampton. One of the members of the company wrote that "It
was here we had our first baptism of foreign mud."
Company D was in England but four days when it boarded the S. S. Archangel,
considered one of the fastest transports, and which formerly was one of Sir
Thomas Lipton's pleasure boats, going to France. The port of Le Harve, France,
was the destination of the local outfit. There the boys remained a day and boarded
a train of box cars, "Forty Men and Eight Horses." For three days and two nights
they traveled, and arrived at Harrenville, a province of Houte Marne. The first
training camp in France, where the local boys were stationed was at the village of
Sartes, which they reached by marching eight kilometers.
Here Compan}- D remained over Thanksgiving and Christmas, and on February
6, 1918, to March 21, they went into the Chemin-des-dames sector, it being the first
trip to the lines by the local boys. Then followed a four days' hike to a rest camp
at Rimaucourt. But "Holyoke's Own" did not rest, for orders came for an im-
mediate return to the lines. On Easter Sunday Company D took to its trucks and
rushed for the front, and arrived in front of Apremont at 2.30 o'clock on April 2.
They held that sector and a sector to the right of it, in front of Montsec, for three
months. It was a "quiet" three months, with occasional artillery offensives, trench
raids, patrol encounters, mustard gas, and some casualties. Four Holyoke boys in
the company were killed on June 16. They were Corporal John J. Kelly, Corporal
George Tremblay, Musician Alfred S. Anderson and Private Louis M. Croteau.
From there the company took over the sector at Belleau Wood, where the com-
pany suffered some more casualties, and at the fighting at Chateau-Thierry, in the
second battle of the Marne, Company D lost, in one day (July 22, 1918), five more
28 HoLYOKE Ix The Great War.
Holyoke men, Corporal Frank J. Aloynihan, Corporal Jeremiah F. Sullivan, Priv-
ates Joseph L. Fineni, Arthur W. Fleming and Howard J. Sullivan. The day be-
fore. Private Harold W. Martin gave his all. Also in the same month of July the
company lost Sergeant Douglas Urquhart, Bugler Leon F. Burgess, and Privates
John Lambert and Frank E. Snj^der, in addition to several men who were taken
prisoners by the Gerjnans. At Chateau-Thierry a few men fell into the enemy's
hands but were rescued by a Pennsylvania outfit.
At Belleau Wood the local company took part in a hot battle that while short,
was intense, driving the Hun back in the town of Bouscrebe.
After the fighting at Chateau-Thierry Company D was sent back of the lines
for replacements and to rest up. There were but a few of the original company of
250 men that left Camp Bartlett nine months before. Those who were not killed
were in hospitals, v/ounded, gassed or shell-shocked ; some were prisoners in Ger-
man camps, and others were "missing."
Then came the St. Alihiel drive. Company D went into the fight on September
11, and went over the top on the ]2th. On that day they took the town of St.
Maurice, after advancing five miles in thirty hours. Sergeant Robert W. Gorham
and Sergeant Raymond B. Thomson, both leading detachments, were killed in ac-
tion on the 12th. After the St. Mihiel offensive, the local company, which, by this
time had but a very few men from this city in its ranks, took part in the fighting
north of Verdun, arriving there the 13th of October, and going over the top three
times the following day. They remained in this sector until the signing of the
armistice brought a cessation of hostilities. It was in this sector that Private Wil-
liam Pueschel lost his life, and Sergeant William B. Craven succumbed to
pneumonia.
Outside of the casualties Company D suffered other blows — the loss of its offi-
cers. It is a matter of record that out of the original company of 1.50 men from
Holyoke and vicinity, which answered the country's call in April, 1917, there re-
mained, at the time of the signing of the armistice, but i:i in the ranks. The rest
had been either killed, transferred or were in hospitals recovering from wounds,
gas or shell-shock.
The officer personnel of Company D originally was as follows : Captain Ed-
mund J. Slate, First Lieutenant Wallace A. Choquette and Second Lieutenant Don-
ald B. Logan. The other officers, transferred to the company at Camp Bartlett
when the unit v,^as filled to the new war-strength of a captain, five lieutenants and
2.50 men, were Lieutenant George H. Weir of Fitchburg, Lieutenant William M.
Brigham, Jr., of Marlboro, and Lieutenant F. Gardner Blaisdell of Brookline.
Lieutenant Logan was the first to go— being transferred to the intelligence de-
partment. Captain Slate was next, being put in charge of the supply outfit of the
regiment. Lieutenant Choquette was transferred to the tank service; Lieutenant
Brigham was killed in action at Chateau-Thierry; Lieutenant Blaisdell was
wounded severely in action at Chateau-Thierry, and never returned to the com-
pany, and Lieutenant Weir was transferred to the disciplinarian camp. Lieutenant
Thomas Shea of Springfield, who was transferred to the local outfit in France,
was taken prisoner by the enemy. Another officer, a Lieutenant Roth, who also
joined the company in France, was wounded in action. Lieutenant Paul DeVerter
of Virginia was for some time in command of the Holyoke company.

Disease Death Rate Low
Battle death rate in the American Army during the war exceeded the death
rate from disease, General March announced in making public statistics prepared
by the General Staff. In past wars disease killed many more men than lost their
lives under fire.
The battle death rate for the entire American Army in the war was 20 per
1,000 per year. In the expeditionary forces it was 57 per 1,000 per year. The
disease death rate was 17 per 1,000 per year in the expeditionary forces and 16 in
the army at home.
The battle death rate in the British Expeditionary Forces was 110 per 1,000
per year.
General March said that the lower death rate from disease undoubtedly was
due largely to the inoculation requirement of the army, and, secondly, to the effi-
cient work of the Medical Corps. But for the influenza epidemic, he said, the
disease rate would have been cut in half.
The table of comparative battle and disease death rates per thousand per
.year for wars in which the United States has engaged since the War of 1812,
follows :

With the aid of an infirmary of the Red Cross he operated on the wounded
soldiers and civilians alike, satisfying all their needs, and quitting the hospital only
after ha\v'ing made certain 'that his presence there was on longer needed.

JOHN MACKENZIE (S. H. F.)
U. S. S. Remlik.
During a heavy gale on December 17, 1917, a depth charge, weighing several
hundred pounds, broke its fastenings at the stern of the Remhk and went sweeping
about the deck. The heavy seas washing over the quarter deck made it dangerous
for anyone to attempt to reach that part of the ship. As officers and crew watched
the bomb, someone saw the safety pin fall out of the charge, making it a source of
serious danger to the officers and crew. Mackenzie, realizing the danger, shouted :
"Watch me ; I'll get it," and dashed down the deck, flinging himself upon the
charging cylinder. Three times the daring man almost had his arms about the
bomb, but each time the seas tore it from him, and once it almost crushed him.
He stuck to the task, however, and on the fourth attempt got a firm grip on the
cylinder, heaved it upright on one flat end, and held it until lines could be run to
him and he and the bomb safely lashed. Soon afterward the ship was headed up
into the sea, and the charge was carried to a place of safety.

Awarded High Naval Honors
Souin Hadiey Falls Sailor Held Deadly Depth Bomb In Gale
Saving Ship and Crew
Chasing a U-boat while fighting a 100-mile gale, and having a depth bomb
break loose from its fastening and go rolling about the decks, in imminent danger
of exploding and blowing up the ship, was one of the experiences of the crew of
the U. S. S. converted yacht Remlik.
And then, as the full realization of their peril was sweeping over the officers,
into the picture springs a figure that wrestles with the deadly missile, filled with
TNT, and holds it until it can be safely secured.
Thus did Chief Boatswain's Mate John Mackenzie of South Hadiey Falls res-
cue his ship and its 80 officers and men from certain destruction, later to receive
the commendation of his commander and a citation with the medal of honor from
the Secretary of the Navy.
"There wasn't much to it; it was simply a case of go get it," Mate Mackenzie
said, when cornered in his cubbyhole office at Battery Wharf, Boston. He was
much more communicative concerning the heroic achievements of the officers.
"Their acts of bravery will never be written," he said. "Why, take our cap-
tain, for example, now Lieutenant-Commander Isaac C. Johnson. When we sailed
out of New York it was freely predicted we would never reach the other side.
HoLYOKE In The Great War. " 71
Our commander never had his clothes off during our whole trip across, and never
went to his quarters to sleep. I have seen him standing with one arm thrown
around a stanchion, snatching a nap, having given orders that if he was wanted to
touch his arm. And all through the navy there are hundreds of such incidents that
history will never record."
To understand the great danger of a depth bomb, it is necessary to explain its
mechanism. In this instance, it was of the old Sperry type, resembling an ash can
in form, but now practically obsolete. It is in two sections, the top for about a
quarter of the length of the cylinder being the buoy. The lower section is filled
with about 100 pounds of TNT, and is the mine. The sections are held together
by a wire running from the mine up through the center of the buoy to its top,
where it is fastened by a cotter pin. The wire can be fixed to pay out to any depth
desired. In this case it was set for fifty feet. When the bomb is dropped over-
board, the safety pin is pulled out; the buoy and mine separate, the mine, of course,
dropping until the limit of the wire is reached, when the pull detonates the charge.
This particular bomb was resting in a U-shaped cradle at the stern.
Chief Mackenzie's own story of the incident is this :
"We were convoying in the Bay of Biscay, and had been a day and a half in a
gale. We had just sighted a submarine, and everybody was ordered on deck. I
happened to be walking aft when I saw a big wave break over the stern and smash
the cradle. The depth bomb was let loose and started rolling around the decks. I
threw myself on it, grabbed it in my arms, braced my feet against the gun platform,
and was able to hold it fast."
This laconic tale of the heroic deed takes no account of the dangers he was
facing other than from the bomb itself, the chances of being swept into the sea by
each receding breaker, his safety depending wholly upon the length of time he could
retain his foot grip upon the timbers of the gun platform, since, as the official re-
port states it, there was no way to get assistance to him "until the ship could be
headed into the sea and the after part made more secure for passage."
But in the navy records of the World War will be found this official report
from Lieutenant-Commander Johnson of the Remlik:
"The depth charge box on the taffrail, containing a Sperry depth charge, was
washed overboard on December 17, 1917, the depth charge itself falling inboard and
remaining on deck. It was impossible for anyone to carry it to safety, and it was
even dangerous for anyone to go to that part of the ship, due to the seas washing
over the stern. Mackenzie, on his own initiative, went aft and sat down on the
depth charge until the ship was headed into the sea.
"After the depth charge was carried to a place of safety it was found that the
safety pin had become detached, and had it remained on deck and been washed
around with the sea the buoy section of the depth charge would, no doubt, have be-
come detached and the depth charge detonated had not Mackenzie acted imme-
diately as he did.
"Mackenzie exposed his life and prevented a serious accident to the ship and
probable loss of the ship and entire crew.
"The action of Mackenzie in this case is most highly recommended for the
serious consideration of the department."
Chief Boatswain's Mate Mackenzie's "extraordinary heroism in the line of his
profession" was made the subject of general orders in the navy. Following this
came the citation from the Secretary of the Navy.
"You have upheld the best traditions of the naval service, and the department
heartily commends you. The department will also award you a medal of honor,"
wrote Secretary Daniels.
Mate Mackenzie also received the $100 gratuity that accompanies awards for
"extraordinary heroism." Later he received a check for the same amount from
Willis S. Kilmer, owner of the yacht Remlik. The inscription on the medal reads :
"Awarded to John Mackenzie. U. S. N. F., for extraordinary heroism, U. S.
S. Remlik, December 17, 1917. Saved ship from destruction by securing depth
bomb."
Chief Mackenzie may be classed with the veterans of the navy. He served as
a naval apprentice from 1902 to 1907, during which his cruises carried him over
66,000 miles of sea. After leaving the navy he engaged in the automobile accessory
business at vSpringfield. He re-entered the naval service on May 12, 1917, served
overseas in convoy work and submarine chasing.

How the 104th Won Its Cross
Hereos of Apremont, Victors at Belleau Wood, Cutters of the
St. Mihiel Salient— A Record of Valor
J^]-^ EROES of Apremont— the 104th Infantry Regiment— men who made a
wJ bloody sacrifice and won gallant victories at Belleau Wood and helped
^^^ to make immortal history in cutting the St. Mihiel salient, have their deeds
officially recorded in a literary work which has been compiled and from
■which this story is taken.
FIRST TO BE DECORATED
The official history was brought back home by the regiment when it landed
in Boston April 11, 1919. In great detail the movements of the 104th are followed
in the original. All the engagements and battles in which the dauntless men of
this unit took part are pictured, particularly Apremont at Bois Brule, where the
regiment won great honor by having its colors decorated by a commanding general
of a French army corps — first decoration of any American regiment by a foreign
power and first battle of the war in which American troops were successful with-
out allied aid.
The story of the 104th Infantry is a thriller. Every line of it is interesting
to any American, but particularly to those of the blood and kin of the men who
made up this fighting regiment.
OLD 2D, 6TH AND sTH
The old Second and Eighth National Guard Regiments, units from the Sixth
Regiment and a detachment of new draft men from Camp Devens were used to
make up the 104th U. S. Infantry, 26th Division, which was formed at Westfield
on August 25, 1917. The month of September was used in perfecting the new
organization, drilling and preparing for immediate sailing to France.
Four companies of the regiment, Companies F, I, L and M, were the first
to start for France, though not the first to arrive there. They left Camp Bartlett
on September 25, entrained for Montreal, from there sailed to Halifax, and arrived
in that port just too late to enter a convoy. These units remained aboard ship,
anchored in Halifax Harbor, for a whole week. The passage across was unevent-
ful, except for a three days' storm, and the units were landed in Liverpool Octo-
ber 17.
REACH FRANCE OCTOBER 24
Entraining, they reached Borden at 5 o'clock the next morning, were met by
an English band and escorted to Oxney Camp, where they stayed until October 23.
Then they were off to Southampton, across the channel and to Havre, where they
landed — in France — on the morning of October 24.
282 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
But Colonel William C. Hayes and staiif, headquarters and supply company
and machine gun company, who left camp back in Westfield on September 26, a
day after the others, were in France first. They had sailed from New York on
the 27th, arrived in Liverpool on October 9, and were in Havre the 17th, a whole
week ahead of the four companies which had first left Camp Bartlett.
IN REST CAMPS AT MONTH'S END
Companies E, G and K and the 101st Ammunition Train left camp October 2,
sailed from New York the 3d, arrived in Liverpool the 17th and were in Havre
the 22d, also in advance of the four companies which started first. The last four
units of the 104th, Companies A, B, C, D and H, left camp October 4, arrived in
Montreal October 5, sailed from Halifax and arrived in Liverpool October 23. They
were in France, at Havre, on the 29th. All were in rest camps by the end of the
month.
Regimental headquarters, headquarters company, machine gun company, supply
company and the 2d battalion were billeted in Harreville, the 3d battalion in Pom-
pierre, and the 1st battalion in Sartes.
TO THE FRONT O'N FEBRUARY 5
For three months the regiment trained with the 151st French Infantry. On
February 5 the regiment entrained at Liffol-le-Grand for its first war service. Sois-
sons was reached the next day and on that afternoon the 2d battalion started its
march to the front lines. War was a reality at last for these sons of Western
Massachusetts, the men of the "Farmer Regiment," who had traditions and high
honors to uphold.
The first few days were without incident, and on the 12th, Lincoln's Birthday,
Lieutenant Dexter of H Company went out on the first patrol with a party of
French officers and men. He took with him Corporals Donabedian and Lowell and
Privates Moreau, LeDuc and O'Leary. They crossed No Man's Land to the Boche
wire, examined the terrain for listening posts and returned without mishap after
accomplishing their mission.
Two days later the first prisoners were captured, the first prisoners of the regi-
ment and of the Yankee Division. They were taken in a fight with a Boche patrol
on No Man's Land by Lieutenant Brown, Sergeant O'Leary, Sergeant Letzing,
Corporal Bedard and Privates Bonneau and Heppler. The next day Colonel Tayler,
commanding the 19th French Infantry, bestowed the Croix de Guerre on Lieutenant
Brown and Sergeant Letzing.
The first man of the regiment to make the final sacrifice was Private George
G. Clark of F Company. He was killed during a heavy harassing fire on the Bois
Quincy, laid down by the enemy on the night of February 17. A similar barrage
was sent over two evenings later, and the first attack of importance, in which 80
Huns took part, was routed.
COLONEL HAYES RELIEVED
All units of the regiment had their baptism of fire on this front for 10 days,
during which time the casualties officially were: Killed in action, 1; wounded, 21;
gassed, 4; accidents, 11; sick, 190.
From there they marched four days to the new area around Rimacourt. By
this time Colonel Hayes had been relieved of command, under circumstances which
are generally well known. The new commander was Colonel George H. Shelton,
a West Pointer, whose home is in Seymour, Conn. The regiment reached its rest
area March 27, and plans were under way for getting back into condition after 42
days in the trenches at the Chemin des Dames.

BY MOTOR TRUCKS
Leaves were expected for the men and officers, but the big drive of the Germans
made it necessary for the allies to put every available man into the fight, and the
104th was placed under the command of the 32d French Army Corps and ordered
to take over a section of the Toul front.
By motor trucks the regiment was transported to that part of the battlefront.
The Third Battalion took its place at Bois Brule, Apremont. The First Battalion
went to Brisaurd. The Second Battalion was held in reserve at Vignot.
GIVEN POST OF HONOR TO' HOLD
Of the whole defensive system the ridge at Bois Brule was the keystone. It
had to be held at all cost. It was the "Post of Honor" as the French called it.
Day by day the artillery fire became more severe, and from the 6th to the 9th of
April became an almost continuous bombardment.
The famous attack began on the morning of the 10th. The listening post dis-
covered their approach and a barrage signal was promptly answered and with
machine gun and rifle fire their attack was , completely broken up. The Yankee
artillery hammered their positions mercilessly for the rest of the morning. The
Boche reciprocated, making the wood a perfect hell-hole. Prisoners taken by our
men said that 800 picked men had made the attack against the Americans. The
Hun losses had been very severe.
ATTACK IN FORCE ON 12TH
Yet the Americans felt the Hun would return to the attack so the Third Bat-
talion was ordered back to Vignot for reserve and were replaced by the Second
Battalion that night, under terrific shell fire.
On the 11th at night the enemy shelling attained the violence of drum-fire and
under a rolling barrage the Hun attacked in force at 4.30 on the morning of the 12th.
The attack extended across the entire battalion front into the sector on the left
held by the 33d French Colonials to the right held by Company F, left front by
Company E, and Companies H and G in support. The French were driven back
on the left. Company E's flank was attacked front, flank and rear and driven in
on the center.
SUPPORT GETS INTO ACTION.
Company G's right had been driven in when the support platoons of Companies
E and F got into action, re-establishing Company E's right. Company F made a
new disposition and their left was reinforced by a platoon from Company H, com-
manded by Lieutenant Knight, who was killed later leading his men in a counter
attack.
Lieutenant Wilcox of the machine gun company took a group of Company E
men and with another bunch from Company F under Lieutenant Edmunds attacked
the Boche who were in a deserted trench in front of the battalion. The Boches
were driven out and 24 prisoners taken, 16 of whom were from the 16th Uhlans.
Three machine guns were also captured. All the while the most terrific fire from
the Yankee batteries was sweeping No Man's Land and the enemy was seeking
every possible safety in shell holes.
RESCUE FRENCH POSITION
The remainder of the morning the fighting continued but the enemy at na
time and no place succeeded in entering the lines of the 104th. A platoon from
Company G reinforced the left of Company E and by sharp fighting through the
284 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
smashed-up trenches went to the rescue of the French position. Captain Connelly
especially distinguished himself in getting aid to the French which they had
asked for.
All day the fight went on. It was one of the fiercest of the war. Two hours
after midnight — the 13th — G Company, again attacked, going through the Boche
front line and driving them out. That ended all infantry action on the part of
the enemy, but the artillery and minenwerfer continued to harass the position
held by the Massachusetts boys.
RELIEVED BY THE 103D
Relief came in the form of the 103d Infantry — those boys from Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont — on the next day, and the 104th went into reserve at
Aulnois Vertuzey and Camp La Rehanne in the forest de la Raine.
During these days and nights of incessant artillery fire on every line of com-
munication in this sector the carrying of supplies and the evacuation of the
wounded was very nearly an impossibility, but the great courage and determination
•of the medical detachment under the command, first of Lieutenant Kirkpatrick
and later of Captain Dudley, of the band under command of Band Leader Dawes
and of Father Des Valles, saved the lives of many of our wounded.
DECORATION OF COLORS
The story of the decoration of the colors — first and most glorious, therefore,
of any honor bestowed upon an American army unit — is told in the official history
in the following words :
"On the afternoon of April 28 the entire regiment was assembled on the plains
south of Bouq, where General Pasaga, commanding the 32d French Army Corps,
•of which the Yankee Division was then a part, decorated the regimental flag with
the Croix de Guerre with the following citation : 'It showed the greatest audacity
and a fine spirit of sacrifice. Subjected to very violent bombardments and attacked
by large German forces, it succeeded in checking the dangerous advance and took
at the point of the bayonet in a most dangerous way prisoners and some demolished
trenches from which they had fallen back at the first assault.' After decorating
the flag General Pasaga decorated 119 officers and men of the regiment who had
distinguished themselves by conspicuous bravery during the action of April 10-13
at Bois Brule. The 104th Infantry has the honor of being the first American regi-
ment decorated by a foreign power and also the honor of fighting and winning the
first big fight in which American troops fought without the aid of our allies in
this war."
ON MOVE FROM APRIL 20 TO JUNE 30
From April 20 until June 30 the regiment was kept on the move from one
point to another, relieving this unit, then that, taking part in raids, withstanding
attacks and heavy artillery fire, but none of it compared with the fight at Apremont.
During this period they were in the rear of the 102d' at Seicheprey, but were
not needed. On May 1 they went to the relief of the 101st at Raulecourt remaining
in that sector until the 13th of the month, when they were relieved by the 103d.
The regiment then became divisional reserve, with the First Battalion head-
quarters at Royaumeix, and during the long-range bombardment of the rear areas
on Sunday, June 16, Chaplain Danker was mortally wounded and Colonel Shelton
slightly wounded. The losses on that morning alone were 15 killed and 7 wounded.
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 285
MOVE TO NEW SECTOR
After a short period of service at Bruley and Orley and neighboring towns
around Toul, the regiment got ready for movement to another sector, and on June
30 m.arched to Foug, where the regiment entrained.
During this period the losses of the regiment were: Killed, 74; wounded, 181;
gassed, 13; accidents, 38; prisoners, 2; sick, 912. The regiment reached La Ferte-
sous Jouarre July 1.
Officers of the First Battalion reconnoitered Bois de Belleau on the next day,
and on the big day — Fourth of July — went into the front lines of Belleau Wood.
The big battle was not far off; the great sacrifices of these sterling fighters from
Western Massachusetts, from Springfield, Holyoke, Northampton, Worcester, Green-
field, Orange and others were soon to come.
COLONEL FOOTE IN COMMAND
Here the regiment was subjected to heavy enemy fire on all lines of communi-
cations and positions all day and night. There were no trenches, no shelters, just
holes dug by the men holding their position. Food and supplies were carried to
the front lines at night under the greatest difficulty. It was a question of "pulling
the belt tight and hanging on."
On July IG Colonel Shelton was relieved of his command, advanced to the
rank of brigadier-general and placed in command of the 51st Infantry Brigade.
Lieutenant-Colonel Alfred F. Foote of Holyoke took command of the regiment. He
was the leader of the regiment during all of the terrific fighting soon to come,
during all of the bloody and courageous days of Belleau Wood.
BELLEAU THE OBJECTIVE.
The day after Colonel Foote took command he was ordered to report to brigade
headquarters. There plans were for an attack to be made at 4.35 o'clock July 18.
The objective for the third battalion was the town of Belleau, then the railroad
tracks on the north side of the town, and lastly the town of Givray.
K Company of the 3d Battalion was in quarantine at the time and D Company
of the 1st Battalion was ordered to take its place. D Company was unable, due
to the distance and blocked condition of the roads, to join the attacking battalion
on time.
ACROSS WHEAT FIELD
It was a dark night, raining, when the battalion started forward at 1.30 in the
morning to take its position. Being unfamiliar with the ground' they were unable
to reach the jumping off place in time for attack, so the men, under command of
Major Lewis of the 2d Battalion, attacked across a wheat field, H Company taking
the place of D Company, which had failed to report.
Company M did great work to the right of the town, H Company pushed
through and cleaned out the right of the town, the enemy running away without
putting up a fight. T Company cleaned the left of the town, then all advanced and
M Company cleaned out the town of Givray. By 9 o'clock the battalion was set
and all objectives taken.
ENTIRE REAR A HELL AREA
The Boche shelled these positions heavily. The wheat field between Belleau
and Bois de Belleau and the entire rear area was a hell-area. All telephone lines
were out of order. Out of 22 runners used in trying to get a message through to
Major Lewis, five were killed and 12 wounded. Private Roy of H Company finally
got through, for which he later received a distinguished service cross.
286 HoLYOKE In The GrexVt War.
D Company had arrived and took up a position. Then followed the attacks on
Hill 193 and Hill 190. Days of fighting, without let up followed, during which
attacks were repulsed and made. It was fierce. Then came the concentrated
attack on these hills. All four regiments of the Yankee Division and the 167th
French Division took part.
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS' PLUCK
During the advance, Captain Phillips, in command of the First Battalion, was
mortally wounded, but insisted on being carried forward on a stretcher until his
battalion made their objective and he had received messages from his company
commanders that they were all set in their positions and he had given them their
orders.
Then only did he allow the men to carry him to the rear where he died two
days later. In his death the regiment lost one of the bravest and finest officers it
ever had.
72 HOURS WITHOUT FOOD
The attack had been successful, and pursuit of the enemy began, the Third
Battalion going through Prugny and Epieds to La Croix Rouge Fme. There was
fighting much of the way, gas was heavy and the men had to wear their masks.
They faced murderous machine gun nests and silenced them. For 72 hours without
food and with only shell-hole water to drink, the men of the regiment and brigade
were happy when the work they had done was turned over to the care of the 56th
Brigade.
The division had gained 17J^ kilometres, and the losses of the 104th were:
Killed, 130; wounded, 876; prisoners, 13; missing, 17; sick, 567.
SIX MONTHS' RIGOROUS DUTY
July 30 the regiment started for the rear and went into billets around La Ferte
to reorganize and be re-equipped. Changes were made in the list of officers and
many replacements were received. Within a few days the regiment had three new
commanders, first. Colonel Hobbs, then Colonel Major and then Colonel McCaskey.
While there some of the officers and men received 48-hour passes to visit Paris,
the first leaves granted since arrival in France.
On August 13 the regiment marched 17 kilometres to Trilpourt, entrained and
went into a rear area, detraining near Chatillon-sur-Seine, and hiking from there
to Ampilly, where the first rest and relief from fighting was in order since Febru-
ary 6 — just six months of rigorous duty.
ON TO ST. MIHIEL
Leaves were being planned for and long schedules of training and maneuvres
were out, but leaves were cancelled on August 27 and the regiment was ordered
to move. A train ride to Ligny, near Bar-sur-Aube, was the new jump, which was
followed by a series of night marches. The men rested in the woods each day
until the night of September 6 they arrived in the woods in the rear of the trenches
around Les Esparges. The regiment remained bivouacked in these woods until the
night of September 11, during which time the positions were reconnoitered in prep-
aration for the attack to take place on "D Day at H Hour."
St. Mihiel — that was the impending struggle. The world knows today what
the fighting Americans did there. The army of the United States long ago recog-
nized the efficiency of the 104th Regiment and the part it took in cutting across
the salient, closing it, straightening the front and capturing thousands of prisoners.
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 287
COLO'NEL CHEATHAM IN COMMAND
In the official history of the regiment the army plans are given, how they were
carried out with hardly a hitch though prepared in the most exacting manner to
the smallest detail. The daring of the men was displayed prominently on this
occasion and in the subsequent holding of Rupt and Troyon. On September 28,
Colonel Cheatham relieved Colonel McCaskey in command of the regiment.
Then followed the fighting around Haumont Wood on October 15, in which D
Company played such a valiant part. It was on that front that the Germans asked
to be allowed to surrender and on the 22d a group of them marched over in the
night saying they had heard talk of peace and did not want to fight so close to
the end.
DAY OF THE ARMISTICE
On November 8, a retreat of the enemy was noted and the advance on them
began, proceeded successfully and without much more than engagements with
machine gun flanking parties of the enemy. It was on November 10 that Major
Connelly was wounded and that the 103d on the right of the Massachusetts regi-
ment took Bois de Ville.
The men were still going forward at 9 o'clock on November 11 — the day
the armistice was signed — and the regimental post of command had been established
at Beaumont when at 10.10 o'clock in the morning the following message from the
commanding general, 52d Infantry Brigade, was received : "Hostilities will cease
upon the entire front at 11 o'clock today, French time." This was sent by a runner
to the two advanced battalions, and at 11 o'clock the advance stopped and positions
of defence taken in accordance with orders.
END OF 19 MONTHS' SERVICE
November 12, the 104th took over the left of the divisional front line and
patrolled the area until the 14th when it started for the rear and a long needed rest.
Marching for eight days the men reached Dammartin and neighboring towns
where the regiment went into billets and started to work cleaning up, reorganizing
and training, which ultimately brought them with other divisional units to the area
at Le Mans, then to Brest and at last to Boston, to Massachusetts and "Home"
after 19 months' of service — almost to a day, with a record of valor, heroism and
daring, hardly paralleled and by none surpassed.
Lieutenant Colonel Foote's Tribute
When Lieut. Col. Alfred F. Foote, divisional inspector of the 26th Division,
returned to Holyoke, he said :
"I am glad to be back with my loved ones, glad to be back to Holyoke, the
city I love.
"I know I voice the sentiments of all the service men of Holyoke when I say
that we are all deeply grateful for the manner in which Holyoke has backed us
up. I am personally grateful to all my friends who were so very kind to my little
family during my absence.
"In this hour of joyfulness let us not forget the sorrow in the homes where
there is a vacant chair.
"I realize how feeble any attempt of mine to assuage the sorrow of those whose
loved ones made the last supreme sacrifice, but I desire to assure them that their
boys faced the fire like veterans and died with their faces toward the enemy, fighting
until the last breath.
"They died for their flag in the great cause of freedom and God will have
mercy on their souls.
"To the mothers of Holyoke I desire to say that no braver or better soldiers
.ever wore a uniform than your sons."
Holyoke in the Great War
^^^^'OR heroism of her sons on the fields of battle, for devotion to the cause by
^w\ the people at home, for volunteer sacrifice, Holyoke made an enviable
^^-^ ' record in the great war. No city in Massachusetts, New England or the
country has a more illustrous war history than Holyoke.
It is no idle boast of what Holyoke did to help in the preservation of Democracy.
Facts and figures there are to back up every claim of what the city did in furnish-
ing manpower, financial help and welfare work towards the great cause.
The records show a total of 3,797 men and women in service, the highest per-
centage of any city of Holyoke's size in the United States. There were :
Men in Army 2665
Men in Navy 427
Men in S. A. T. C 112
Allied Service 113
Officers in Army 155
Officers in Navy 20
Officers in Allied Service 4
U. S. Honor Roll 106
Allied Honor Roll 17
Women in Service 127
Men, Non-active Service 51
And this is how Holyoke backed them up with her money when the calls
came from the Government, the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus,
and Salvation Army — the figures speak eloquently and impressively of the patriotic
response to all appeals :

The deeds of Holyoke's sons and daughters in the service are recounted on
other pages and their names will always occupy places of the highest honor in the
history of the country. Of the deeds of those at home, their contributions to
various causes, tell in some measure of what they did — but not all. On the farms,
HoLYOKE In The Great "War. 289
in the factories, and in the homes — the army behind the army, "over there'' and
"over here," rendered perhaps a less thrilling but a no less important service to
the country. These men and women, boys and girls, who made up this second
arm}', were moved by the same courageous spirit and were animated by the same
will to win as those heroes in the first line trenches.
Holyoke's national guardsmen were in the first increments of American soldiers
to arrive in France — their history is gloriously written in the records of the 26th —
the Yankee Division. When the first call came for volunteers Holyoke was ready
and into the army and navy the young men flocked. Here again official records
back up the claims that the percentage of enlistments led all other places. Then
came the calls under the selective service law and again was the splendid clean-cut
manhood of Holyoke responsive. They were quick and eager to adapt themselves
to the rudiments of modern warfare and in the training camps they were promoted
with rapidity, many later winning commissions. On all fronts in France they were
to be found in the Allied armies and they roamed the seas on fighting craft and
on merchant ship seeking and defying the German submarine menace.
The boys were sent away with a smile — they were told that Holyoke would
not forget them — Holyoke would stand by them — and Holyoke kept its promise.
The mother, father, brother, sister, wife, children and sweetheart, with eyes dimmed
with tears, took fresh courage knowing that Holyoke was behind their loved ones
to the end. It was little wonder then that the boys left the city in the same splendid
morale that permeated the entire United States army and navy and brought the
finish to Germany's dream of a world empire. With them went Holyoke nurses,
Holyoke physicians and Holyoke welfare workers.
Holyoke hustled every minute while the boys were fighting; the women knitted
and sewed for the Red Cross, they labored long hours willingly to provide for the
men in trench and camp ; they gathered clothing for the Belgians and refugees of
Northern France ; those at home contributed money, smokes and delicacies and many
other comforts for those in service ; they got along without sugar, used less flour
and meat and stinted their daily food supply in order to help Uncle Sam in the
great work of feeding the allies. They saved gasoline, sacrificed automobile riding
for pleasure. In the mills the wheels and spindles and other instruments of
machinery buzzed continually, the workers ever imbued with a great ambition to
serve and contribute their bit to the winning of the war, not only in the produc-
tion, in all lines of manufacture, but in quality of workmanship. Holyoke had
many manufacturing establishments engaged in various kinds of war work.
Holyoke came to a quick realization of the war and what it meant when Camp
Bartlett at Hampton Plains, Westfield, was opened and Holyoke's Own D Co.,
104th, and thousands of other troops gathered there for preliminary training before
starting overseas. Holyoke threw open its doors to welcome the boys in khaki and
provided, through its civic organizations, entertainment, transportation and financial
assistance needed by the soldiers.
Mayor John J. White appointed a Public Safety Committee to look after the
city's interests in the boys. The committee consisted of William F. Whiting, Maj.
W. J. Crosier, A. C. Hastings, A. J. Osborne, L. A. Williston, Clement Ducharme,
John P. Sullivan, Martin P. Conway, William E. Hayes, M. J. Bowler, B. Fein-
stein, John Stalker, D. J. O'Brien, L. A. LaFrance, S. C. Reynolds, J. J. O'Donnell,
D. F. Shea, H. J. Bardwell, F. H. Metcalf. When the boys began to answer the
summons under the draft and went to Camp Devens and other places, the city
provided a volunteer band to escort them to the depot, supplied them with smokes,
and gave each man a blanket. Then Mayor John D. Ryan took up the work and
carried it along through his War Relief Board which comprised Maj. W. J.
Crosier. Frederick Childs, Arthur Ryan, Joseph A. Skinner, Melvin N. Snow, M. H.
Scannell, Charles H. E. Moran and Joseph E. Doran, secretary.

Enlistments and Draft
EVERAL thousand Holyoke boys and many from neighboring cities and
towns enlisted at the army recruiting station in charge of Lieut. Gillis
Green, then holding the rank of sergeant. His office was the mecca
for the young men of the city in the early days of the war and he couldn't
ship them fast enough to Fort Slocum and other training points. Those who pre-
ferred the navy went to Springfield and Hartford and even Boston to enlist, and
later many joined the Merchant Marine.
While the United States was gathering volunteers the allies were also receiv-
ing Holyoke recruits. The French government at the very outbreak of the war in
1914 issued a call for reservists and without delay several hundred started back
to France from Holyoke and they were given tremendous sendoffs. The British
'government had a recruiting office in Springfield and held recruiting rallies there
with good results. In the Kosciuszko Hall there was opened a central recruiting
office for the western end of New England for the Polish Army in France and
here hundreds of Polish residents were signed up for service overseas.
The Holyoke draft boards made a splendid record from the time of their
organization, following the declaration of war, and the subsequent registration on
June 5, 1017.
The governors of the different states appointed the Exemption Board members.
In Holyoke two boards were organized, Exemption Board Division Number One,
comprising Wards One, Two and Three, and Exemption Board Division Number
Two, comprising Wards Four, Five, Six and Seven. Governor Samuel W. McCall
appointed the following members on June 21, 1917: Division One, Lorenzo A.
Williston, Chairman, John J. O'Neill, Secretary, and Dr. Henry E. Chaput, Medi-
cal Examiner ; Division Two, Nathan P. Avery, Chairman, Joseph F. Ranger,
Secretary, and Dr. Stephen A. Mahoney, Medical Examiner.
Offices were opened in the City Hall, on July 23, 1917, with the following
permanent clerks: Division One, Chief Clerk, Catherine Moriarty; Assistant, Ger-
trude McCrohan. Division Two, Chief Clerk, Alice Bleasius ; Assistant, Esther
Welch. These clerks were assisted at different times during the exigency of the
work, by Mary Forbes, Dora Martineau, Margaret Bowler, Nora Curran, Loretta
Coffey, Catherine Healey and Catherine Callahan. Immediately after the opening
of the offices on July 23, 1917, the boards began work. On July 30, 1917, the first
call for examinations was sent out. The permanent medical examiners were
assisted in their duties by Drs. W. J. Powers, F. Gibson, G. J. Herbert, J. F.
Forster, R. Charest, J. L. Bliss, J. H. Potts, E. A. Knowlton, E. P. Bagg, J. J.
Carroll, I. N. Kilburn, D. F. Donoghue, J. J. McCabe, S. C. Cox, F. H. Allen,
J. B. Bigelow, T. E. Cavanaugh, E. J. Miller, E. D. Warren and H. E. Lynch.
From July 30th, the boards were kept busy, examining registrants, hearing
claims for exemption, certifying registrants to the District Board, and referring
registrants to the Medical Advisory Board. The Medical Advisory Board con-
sisted of Drs. Frank A. Woods, Chairman, E. J. Hussey, C. A. Allen, L. H. Clarke,
H. W. Lamb, of Holyoke, and Dr. Arthur N. Ball of Northampton.
In hearing claims for exemption, both boards were assisted by the Government
Appeal Agent, Attorney Oscar O. Lamontagne, who was appointed by Governor
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 291
McCall, and whose assistance ' was of the greatest vahie to both boards. On
September 5, 1917, the first drafted men left Holyoke, by automobile, for Camp
Devens, Ayer, Mass. The quota for September 5th, was four men, two from each
division. Division One sent Ovide J. Houle and George F. Stone. Division Two
sent Daniel A. Martin and John A. Hofifman. From September 5, 1917, calls for
men came continually to the exemption boards, until the signing of the armistice
on November 11, 1918.
There were no men inducted by the boards during the month of January. In
December, 1917, the method of calling the men was changed. From the time the
boards were organized, until December, all registrants were examined, whether
or not they claimed exemption or discharge. After the method was changed,
questionnaires were mailed to every registrant, and only registrants classified in
Class 1 were examined, as they were the only registrants who could be inducted
by the boards. From this date, the boards were kept busy classifying, examining,
and inducting the registrants.
In filling the questionnaires, the registrants were given assistance by the
members of the Legal Advisory Board. The permanent members of this board
were Attorneys W. H. Brooks, T. D. O^Brien, J. Hildreth and P. H. Sheehan.
The associate members were Attorneys W. P. Buckley, R. A. Allyn, F. F. Bennett,
C. Brooks, R. L. Davenport, W. T. Dillon, J. A. Frankowski, P. J. Garvey, A. S.
Gaylord, O. E. Genest, A. L. Green, E. A. Lynch, T. J. Lynch, C. S. Lyon, T. C.

The class one men who registered on June 5, 1917, being nearly exhausted
throughout the country, and the need for soldiers being still great, the President
issued another proclamation calling for the registration of all men, on June 5,
1918, who had reached their 21st birthday, since the registration on June 5, 1917.
There was but one change in the personnel of the boards during their organiza-
tion in Holyoke. This change took place after the registration on June 5, 1918, and
was caused by the death of Mr. L. A. Williston, Chairman of Division One Exemp-
tion Board. Mr. Williston died in July, 1918. In August, 1918, Governor McCall
appointed Mr. Arthur J. Newell to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr.
Williston. Mr. Newell immediately began his duties as Chairman of Division One
Exemption Board.
On August 24, 1918, another registration took place, this registration being
for men who had reached their 21st birthday since June 5, 1918. The registrations
of June 5, 1918, and August :^i, lOlS, did not swell the class one registrants to a
very great extent, and as the men were needed, the President called for another
registration. This registration took place on September 12, 1918, and called for the
Tgistration of all men between the ages of 18 and 45 years. This registration
called for a great amount of work on the part of the members and clerks of the
Exemption Boards.
Questionnaires were immediately mailed to registrants between the ages of
19 and ?.6, and the registrants were classified and examined. The boards were
292 HoLYOKE In The Great Wak.
called upon to furnish men on November 12th and 13th, 1918. Division One was
to send 89 men to Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., and 67 men to Camp Sevier, Green-
ville, S. C. Division Two was to send 92 men to Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., and
70 men to Camp Sevier, Greenville, S. C. Most of these men were to have been
taken from the registration on September 12th. However, the signing of the
armistice on November 11th, caused this call to be cancelled, and the men were
immediately notified to this effect. After the signing of the armistice, the work
of the boards was lessened. No more questionnaires were classified, and no more
registrants examined. The boards were given instructions to finish up the work.
The questionnaires and registration cards were packed and sealed, ready for ship-
ment to Washington, D. C.
The members of the Exemption Boards, with the Government Appeal Agent,
ungrudgingly sacrificed their large personal, business and professional interests,
when the Government called them to perform this most important war work. The
Legal Advisory and Medical Advisory Boards rendered invaluable service in the
expedition of the work.
Spirit of Patriotism
'■^^^^'OLYO'KE was ever alive with the spirit of patriotism and there were
«f^ innumerable public gatherings when the people turned out to show their
'^^ loyalty, especially when the boys were leaving for camp. Liberty Loan
rallies in public halls and on the streets drew crowds as did meetings for
the Red Cross and other patriotic drives. Holyoke held a big parade July 4, 1917,
and again on July 4, 1918, there was a monster procession — one that teemed with
the patriotism of the day and in which every nationality in the city was represented
— a truly All-American parade. No finer spectacle was ever presented in the
city with the civic, fraternal, business and manufacturing interests all uniting on
this great occasion. That memorable day, September 19, 1917, became a holiday
for all industrial and mercantile establishments when D Co., 104th, made its fare-
well visit to Holyoke before leaving Camp Bartlett for France. There was a
parade and a drill on the Maple Street Playgrounds and then a banquet for the
soldiers in the Hotel Nonotuck.
Holyokers— 25,000 of them, it was estimated— gathered at the Public Library
Sunday afternoon, October 13, 1918, in response to the news that had flashed
around the city that "upon authentic information from Washington — Germany
accepts President Wilson's terms of unconditional surrender, and agrees to evacu-
ate all occupied territory." There was community singing, speeches and an auto-
mobile parade and Holyoke celebrated, as it was believed the news was correct. The
report was received here shortly before dawn that Sunday morning and telephones
tinkled and there was immediate activity to get "something started." An extra
edition of the Transcript was published and fliers announcing the meeting at the
Library lawn at 3 o'clock were scattered about the city— announcements that the
war was over was made in the churches, based on the alleged "authentic report."
But it turned out to be premature.
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 293
Yet, Holyoke was not downcast to learn that the celebration had been some
time ahead of schedule and when the correct news was received of the signing of
the armistice on November 11th, there was an outburst of rejoicing. At first there
were those who were somewhat skeptical at the truth of the report, but once it
became definitely certain that the fighting had ceased, then Holyoke cut loose with
some real celebrating.
M Company, 20th Regiment, M. S. G.
'^/[ N common with all its activities in the late war, Holyoke did its part in con-
^r tributing to the safety of the State and having adequate military protection
"*'• while the country was fighting with the allies to crush autocracy, and so
many hundreds of Holyoke's men had gone to war.
While the average person was concerned with the strength of the national
army to cope with Germany and allies, the State officials under Governor McCall
were desirous of creating and maintaining a force within the State that could, cope
with any emergency that would arise.
How well Massachusetts succeeded in taking necessary precautions to main-
tain law and order was exemplified by the fact that the State had, during the
war, 13,000 officers and men, all sworn in for two years' service or duration of
war. This was the most satisfactory precaution and best military accomplishment
of all the states, as the Massachusetts State Guard units ranked higher in military
efficiency and organization than all other plans adopted by other states for home
defense.
The Massachusetts State Guard today takes the place of the Massachusetts
Volunteer Militia and are subject to all laws and discipline that govern that service.
M Co. ranked high in State Guard activities. The standard of service rendered
by M Co. was equal to any in the State.
M Co. is quartered in the State Armory and drills every Monday evening.
Attendance at drills have been very good and the rank and file of M Co. has often
been commended for its consistent service.
At Camp Gardner, South Framingham, August 9 to 14, 1918, M Co. made a
remarkable showing at State Encampment and were commended by the regimental
staff officials for their fine showing.
No trouble in State necessitated the service of the State Guard, but east-
ern units of the Massachusetts State Guard had service guarding docks and
other State property during the submarine scare.
In the Spanish Influenza epidemic which raged in the winter of 191S-1919 State
Guard units throughout the State rendered valuable assistance to health authorities
and their services were highly appreciated. The Holyoke unit volunteered to
assist the local Board of Health and were detailed to hospital and ambulance work.
The Holyoke company took considerable interest in the boys in the regular
army and navy service. They furnished military details at all services held for
soldiers and sailors and on one occasion sent over money to D Co., 104th Regi-
ment, in France.

When D Co. left Holyoke for war service, former Mayor White called for
volunteers to organize a Home Defense. More than six hundred Holyokers
responded and two companies, A and B, were organized.
These two companies represented men of all nationalities and all callings of
life were represented, all eager to offer their services even though most were
beyond military age.
When these companies were formed they drilled assiduously and showed
that they were ready for action should the occasion arise.
Later events showed that the Home Guard Companies could not be called a
strict military body without associating themselves with the State's military
authorities.
Then the M Co., Massachusetts State Guard was organized. Captain Thomas
Rae, Jr., organized a body of men and were admitted to the service of the State
of Massachusetts, and are now drilling weekly at the State Armory.
Holyoke's M Co. is a highly rated company in the estimation of the State officers.
M Co. was organized October 1, 1917, at the State Armory, with a full quota
of sixty-five men and three officers. Thirty-four of these men were from the
Civic Guard and over one-half of the enlisted men are seasoned veterans of the
M. V. M. and N. G., and the regular army.
Captain Rae boasts that he has in his ranks a company of marksmen that
can stand against the best in the State.
Service men were enrolled as follows :
Spanish War 3
Boer War 1
French Army, 3 years, 1914-17 1
French Foreign Legion 1
German Army 2
English Army 2
Canadian Volunteers 1

The following remarks were written m the report of the State Inspector at
the State Inspection Drill, February 25, 1918, and forwarded to the Adjutant-
General :
"Officers are efficient and experienced. Non-commissioned officers are good.
Musicians are efficient. Men are well set and soldierly looking. Sergeants have
no belts and side armps. Only few of the men have regulation shoes. Close order
drill by company platoon and squads was well done.
"In coming to the order, too much noise, otherwise manual of arms good.
"Guard mounting and guard duty was very well done.
"The non-coms, and privates have been well instructed in this work.
"Uniforms, arms and equipment were clean and in good condition.
"This company being stationed at the State Armory has ample room and
facilities for a good company and the officers and men are aware of the fact.

Holyoke Red Cross Chapter
^^f HE American Red Cross and its work needs no praise — its work will stand
IL\ forever as a monument to the devotion and sacrifices of its members. The
^^^ Holyoke Chapter was a stout link always in the Red Cross Chain that
stretches around the world. The officers of the Holyoke Chapter are:
Chairman, Dr. Edward P. Bagg, Jr.; Vice-Chairman, Mrs. Frank H. Metcalf;
Secretary, Mrs. Ellen R. Campbell; Treasurer, L. L. Titus.

When the war with Germany was declared this organization was a branch
of the Hampden County Chapter. It had no home and only fifteen members.
Mayor White donated a room in the City Hall and the Holyoke Surgical Dress-
ings Committee (which under the splendid leadership of Mrs. Aaron Bagg had
been doing such fine work for many months) came forward with the ofifer of
workers, money and materials. They soon outgrew these quarters and decided
that Holyoke was big and powerful enough to be a chapter by itself. Holyoke

organized as a chapter in May, 1917, with a membership of 175 members. It has.
been a wonderful growth, with the hearty co-operation of practically every man
and woman and child in Holyoke doing their part in the great work.
Holyoke Chapter fitted out the boys in D Co., 104th. before the company
w^ent overseas. Boys fitted, 361 ; articles, 1,338.
Drafted boys fitted out from February 1. 1918, to September 1, 1918: Boys
fitted, 950; knitted articles supplied, 2.770; Christmas parcels bought and sent to
soldiers abroad 1918, 1,902.
The Surgical Dressings department, under Miss Lavinia Whiting, has made-
308,114 articles; the Hospital Garment department, under Mrs. Morton Hull and
Mrs. John Finn, has made 9,125 articles, and the Knitted department, under Miss
Josephine Houston, has made 39,435 articles.
The Chapter has conducted two Christmas drives for membership; two drives
for clothes for Belgium, netted garments which weighed 22,891 pounds, and a linen
drive gained 3,955 articles. The firemen of the city did magnificent work in knit-
ting socks. During the epidemic of influenza the Chapter made all the gauze
masks needed. The Moor Corps, under Miss Jessie Mackintosh, supplied cars and
drivers for work during the epidemic. Two classes were conducted in Home Nursing
and First Aid.
The Chapter, under the leadership of Joseph A. Skinner, has raised two war
funds. The first war fund asked for was $70,000 and pledges amounted to $107,-
467.94; second war fund asked for, $90,000, pledges, $163,673.76.
The Chapter now occupies quarters on the fifth floor of the Hotel Nonotuck.
Holyoke Chapter of Junior Red Cross
War Activities in the Holyoke Schools
^^^HE American Red Cross, which had received recognition from Congress as
ff\ the one official organization in time of war to bring aid to soldier and
^^ sailor, to the sick and wounded, and to disabled prisoners, felt itself justi-
fied in asking for a Red Cross hour of loyal activity in the schools.
The aim of the American Red Cross in establishing the Junior Red Cross is,
primarily, an educational one; It offers the school children a release of energies,,
stimulated at the present time by unusual conditions, through organized activities
for others. It proposes, however, not to stop its work with the cessation of war,
but to continue in time of peace its efforts to inculcate the highest duties of citizen-
ship, which involve all the ideals for which the Red Cross worked for years.
These ideals are promotion of personal health and efficiency, betterment of
community conditions, the inculcations of respect and care for harmless birds and
animals, the spread of health education throughout the country by preventive
means, instruction in elementary measures of aid in emergencies, and in home
nursing and dietetics, and the preparation of supplies by those who have time and
service to give to aid the destitute, wherever found, in this or other countries.
"The Red Cross teaches these things because in them is found the highest interpre-
300 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
tation of the word 'Patriotism' that the child can learn. To be a good neighbor is
to be the best citizen."
The plan of the Junior Membership of the Red Cross was announced by the
American Red Cross September 3, 1917. It practically came into being by the pro-
clamation of President Wilson September 15, 1918.
THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION.
The president of the United States is also President of the American Red
Cross. It is from these offices joined in one I write you a word of greeting at
this time when so many of you are beginning School year.
The American Red Cross has just prepared a Junior Membership with school
activities in which every pupil in the United States can find a chance to serve our
country. The school is the natural center of your life. Through it you can best
work in the great cause of freedom to which we have all pledged ourselves.
Our Junior Red Cross will bring to you opportunities of service to your com-
munity and to other communilies all over the world, and guide your service with
high and religious ideals. It will teach you how to save in order that sufifering
children elsewhere may have a chance to live. It will teach you how to prepare
some supplies which wounded soldiers and homeless families lack. It will send to
you through the Red Cross Bulletin, the thrilling stories of relief and rescue. And,
best of all, more perfectly than through any other school lessons, you will learn by
•doing these kind things under your teacher's direction to be the future good citizens
of the great country which we all love.
And I commend to all school teachers in the country the simple plan which the
American Red Cross has worked out to provide for your co-operation, knowing
as I do, that school children will give their best service under the direct guidance
and instruction of their teacher. Is not this service perhaps the chance for which
you have been looking to give your time and efforts in some measure to meet our
national needs.
WOODROW WILSON, President.
Dr. H. N. McCracken, President ot Vassar College, was chosen as the National
Director. Mr. James Jackson is manager of the New England Division.
Dr. Edward Bagg, chairman of our local Chapter American Red Cross, ap-
pointed a committee to organize this work in Holyoke. This committee, known as
ihe "Branch School Committee," was : Chairman, Mr. J. B. Weis, Mr. Francis
McSherry, Dr. Edward Bagg, Mrs. Ellen Campbell, Miss Pearl Rand, and Secre-
tary-Treasurer, Miss Jennie E. Scolley.
The chapter is made up of auxiliaries, each school being an auxiliary, and each
class a unit under the teacher.
A Work and Material Committee was appointed to aid the above Committee.
This committee is as follows : Mrs. Isabelle Ferry,. Miss Teresa Dowd, Mr. Leon-
ard and Miss Jennie E. Scolley. Mr. Hebert took Mr. Leonard's place a little later.
On Mr. Hebert's resignation, Mr. Robert E. Hamill, who had returned to school
from the military service, was appointed to this place.
On account of various circumstances and the health conditions in the city dur-
ing the year, we did not organize until March 11, 1918.
Previous to organization the teachers and pupils in all schools had been able
to do much splendid war work. Sweaters, socks, wristers, blankets, scrap books,
etc., were made. These supplies were shipped across the water before Christmas,
1917, just the time they were most needed. They were among the first supplies
302 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
sent from this side. The Secretary counted all these and valued this work in all
schools. It was valued at $6,002.57. Recorded by schools, it is as follows:

The pupil's pledge card, which each member muit sign who joins the Junior
Red Cross organization, was designed by Superintendent Francis McSherry. It is
arranged to serve six years and reads as follows :
I promise, as far as I am able, to
1. Make or grow something for the Red Cross.
2. Save by denying myself something I want but do not need.
3. Give to those who have suffered in the war.
4. Pay twenty-five cents a year for dues or furnish the equivalent in labor or
material.
On the reverse side of the card the following advice is given:
1.- Hold yourself ready to perform any service consistent with home and
school duties that will directly or indirectly forward the work of the
American Red Cross.
2. Try to conserve the material resources of your country to the end that
nothing shall be wasted that can strengthen the vigor of the nation.
3. Endeavor at all times so to conduct yourself as to show your loyalty to
your country and your respect for those who are bearing the burden of
defense.
4. Wear your Red Cross badge to the end that everyone may know that you
belong to the home reserve army of your country.
5. Promise during the period of your membership in the Red Cross to save
by self-denial all that you can give to the Holyoke Chapter of the Red
Cross to use to help the families of the men who are serving in the Army
and Navy of your country or to use where it may be most needed.
We organized with nineteen auxiliaries, with 6,527 pupils or 100% strong.
Since September 2, 1918, 1,700 new members have been enrolled, 600 at Sacred
Heart, 200 at St. Jerome, 200 at the Rosary, 500 at Precious Blood Schools, 200 at
Perpetual Help, and 10 boys at Hadley Hall, making the membership January 1,

The Treasurer received $653.09 and expended for supplies and the Red Cross
Magazine $507,48, leaving a balance in the bank, March 1, 1919, of $145.61.
By a rule of the Superintendent of Schools and the School Board all war ac-
tivities of any kind in the schools must come under the head of the Junior Red
Cross. Therefore the sale of Thrift Stamps is a Junior Red Cross Activity under
the direction of Miss Mabel Baush. The Secretary of Junior Red Cross organized
Happy Jack Thrift Clubs in all schools. There was a Happy Jack Corner in each
of our evening papers. The children wrote compositions on "Thrift," "How I
Earned My Thrift Stamp Money," and on other similar titles.
From January 1, 1918, to January 1, 1919, 4,652 children have bought $14,369.59
worth of stamps. The report of schools is as fellows :

During the various Liberty Loan drives in the city the pupils have vv^ritten'
compositions, made three-minute speeches and distributed quantities of literature.
Several of the schools bought bonds for the schools. Numbers of children bought
bonds. Many of them earned every cent of the money themselves.
The United War Work Campaign furnished another opportunity for the Junior
Red Cross to prove that they are patriotic, loyal Americans. The "Victory Boys
and Girls," members of both public and parochial schools, under the chairmanship
of Superintendent of Schools Francis McSherry, pledged to earn and give $7,704.65
to the cause. This money to be paid in three installments. They are bravely living
up to their pledges.
Another activity, virhich is strictly a local one, is the "I Will Help" Club.
Through the association in Holyoke known as the "Les Village Libere de la
France," our citizens are planning to aid Miss Belle Skinner in the great work to
which she is giving her time, money and personal service. The children have
pledged a penny a week from June, 1918, to June, 1919, for this reconstruction
work in France. We have sent to the Treasurer of this association $t).")4.05 up to

306 HoLYOKLE In The Great War.
The War Gardens or School Gardens, the raising of pouUry and pigs, and
classes in canning were other important and valuable activities. This w^ork was
under the direction of Mr. George D. Hearn of the Science department of the
High School. Mr. Hearn is Director of Agriculture for the city.
Working under pressure in the spring three hundred school gardens were
planted in five days by team work on the part of the children and efficiency of the
teachers. The gardens were arranged end to end and the cross path omitted.
This brought two gardens together, and put a gardener at each end of a planting
line. Thus two worked together on each garden and planted two gardens in the
time ordinarily used to plant one, and also made the work more pleasant.
The canning work was put on a more systematic basis and a good foundation
laid for next season's operations. Weekly demonstrations were held at the dif-
ferent school centers, which are nicely equipped for canning. Each canner's home
Avas also visited each week, and this established a bond of mutual endeavor and
interest on the part of the parent, teacher and child.
The poultry and pig work were also carried along more thoroughly; in fact
this year witnessed the start of the porker as a Holyoke city resident in the back
yards of some of the school children. This is a line which is well worth encour-
aging.
The foregoing is strong proof that the school children of Holyoke responded
enthusiastically to the nation's call for more food. The vegetables, canned prod-
ucts, poultry, eggs and pork will mean much in the feeding of Holyoke.
The number of gardeners at the end of the season were 1,200
Number of classes for canning 245
Number raising poultry and pigs 245

Value of garden produce, canned goods, poultry and pigs $15,000
In the first shipment to France of Junior Red Cross articles 67 knitted hos-
pital blankets were sent. One of them was received by Captain C. W. Mack, cap-
tain M. R. C. Below is a copy of his letter of thanks to the pupils of Grade Six
of the Hamilton Street School, where the blanket was made :
American Expeditionary Forces, France.
A. P. O. 731, June 28, 1918.
Hamilton Street School, Grade VI.
Dear Friends: I have many friends in Michigan and California, but I didn't
know that I had so many friends in Grade VI until I received a beautiful bed-
spread which you sent through the Red Cross to me.
Thanks so much for it. It is so warm and comfortable and well made. I have
plept under canvas, when the snow and rain were falling, with the wind blowing
cold, and sometimes under eiderdown French covers, as a rare event, to make
dreams of comfort come true. I have slept on two sticks, placed to keep me above
the muddy water of the trenches, sleeping thus under the blue sky. I have slept
under the thatched roof of an abandoned French farm building used by the pigs,
sleeping under the corner of an oiled sheet, not sufficient to cover the three occu-
pants completely at one time. I have slept under various peculiar conditions, un-
der all sorts of things to keep one warm, but I have never slept under such a nice
cover as this which you have given me. It will not only give one pleasure but
add to my efficiency; so in this way you have all helped in the Great War.
I congratulate you on your promotion to the seventh grade, and again thank
you all most sincerely.
C. W. MACK, Captain M. R. C, A. E. F., France.

Another of these blankets was made by the pupils of Grade V in the Elm
Street School. This blanket was received at Base Hospital 116, France.
A nurse at the hospital sent the following letter of thanks to the pupils in
this school. She also returned the paper containing the list of names of the pupils
who made the blanket, that they might know that the paper had been to France
and back again. The pupils of the Elm Street School often look at it as a treas-
ure, as it hangs framed on the school wall.

Dear Children :
This is just to let you know your nice knitted quilt found its way to a real
Ease Hospital. We think a great deal of them and more because we know the
dear children are really thinking of our dear soldiers, who are very brave and
good. Some day when I come back I may have a chance to visit Holyoke, and
I certamly will come to the Elm Street School and tell you about the boys.
Please accept my thanks and every good wish to you all. I am,
Your new friend,

The little children in grades one and two made thousands of little gunwipes,
v.hich seemed to be much appreciated by the soldiers. The following letter was
received by Mrs. Frank Metcalf, who turned it over to the Secretary of the Junior
Red Cross :
Mrs. Frank Metcalf, May 6, 1918.
Holyoke, Mass.
My Dear Mrs. Metcalf:
Through Mrs. Elmer H. Allen of Shirley, Mass., there has been received at
this office one box of many thousand gunwipes.
It is understood that the school children of Holyoke are the diligent workers
and producers of these very necessary and excellently made aids to soldiers. These
gunwipes will be distributed to the men of this command, and I am sure they will
be very much appreciated.
The Commanding General wishes to express his thanks to you and to all who
contributed in the contribution of these articles.
Very truly yours.
By direction of the Division Quartermaster,
1st Lieut, Q. M. C, N. A. R. G. GRAHAM.
To sum up briefly, our loyal young Americans have raised $653.59 for Red
Cross, $14,369.59 for War Stamps, $7,704.65 for United War Work, $654,05 for "I
Will Help," or a total of $23,381.23. They have made 27,877 articles and 1,200
workers in war gardens, etc., produced $15,000 worth of food.

Holyoke's Civilian Relief
^^ HE Home Service and Civilian Relief Sections of the Holyoke Chapter,
■ 1 came into being toward the end of October, 1917. The first case came to
^^^ the committee at that time, and found the Section without offices or equip-
ment. Miss Mary J. MacMahon was in charge of the service work, acting
in the capacity which is now designated as executive secretary. At that early
stage of the game no one realized the amount of work which was going to come
to this division of the Red Cross. Months went on, and Miss MacMahon car-
ried on the work, quietly, satisfactorily, with a never failing interest and sympathy.
One by one, families, passing the word from one to another, came to her with
their troubles. No two had the same difficulties, but they found that under the
wise guidance of the national heads of the organization in Washington, provision
had been made for caring for every possible kind of difficulty.
In June, 1918, only about 60 cases had been handled, and practically all of
these had been for financial aid, made necessary by the fact that the breadwinner
of the family had taken his place in the ranks of the army or navy, and his allot-
ment and allowance had not come immediately, or because of illness in the family.
Just at this time, the government began to make continued calls for men, with
the result that queries of all kinds from camps and cantonments throughout the
country, began to flood the local committee.
It was only then, that the necessity of establishing an office, with someone
permanently in charge, and office hours throughout every day of the week, became
apparent. As a result of continued consultation, the New England division head-
quarters of the Red Cross arranged for an organizer. Miss Myra H. Church, for
years one of the valued workers of the Associated Charities at Lawrence, Mass.,
to come to Holyoke, and stay six weeks, to open an office and establish a perma-
nent organization. On the first of July offices were opened in the Prew Build-
ing on High Street, with Miss Church in charge, and a class for a six weeks'
course of lectures was opened, with a membership of about 20. Twice a week,
this little group gathered to get the very little that could be taught in so limited
a time, giving them an idea of what social service is.
To this group, the wonderful plans of the National Red Cross were unfolded.
They found that there was practically no limit to the things that this organiza-
tion had planned to do for the men in service and their dependents. If the
allotment and allowance duly made by the soldier, to those at home, depending
upon him, did not come at once (and it seldom did) a loan could be arranged,
and the money returned when the checks did come. This arrangement was made,
that persons who had never been obliged to accept a cent from any organization,
need not feel that they were now an object of charity. It was also planned par-
ticularly with an eye to maintaining morale, and keeping those at home, likely
to lose their self respect, alert, and awake to the fact that they were expected to
do their share. If, however, it was found that present needs of the family were
too great to make it possible to return the money at a later date, the money was
given outright. If the need is only temporary, caused by a member of the family
being out of work, for a week or so, the money may be given in a lump sum,
HoLTOKE In The Great War. 309
either as a loan or as a gift. If a family has sickness, a physician is provided,
if a death, arrangements may be made with the undertaker. If a bill is press-
ing, arrangements may be made with the storekeeper, and if he tries to threaten
the family, he is promptly notified that he cannot press the family of a man in
service, although the Section does everything possible to help him collect his bill,
if it is just, when the family can reasonably spare the money. If the landlord
tries to eject a family with a man in service, he is notified that he cannot do this,
without getting an order from the court. If installments are being paid on an
article, it cannot be taken without an order from the court. There is really no
financial problem of a soldier's family, which the Red Cross cannot untangle.
But the financial assistance is the least of the plans of the Red Cross. Every
difficulty can be overcome. The soldier, is perhaps overseas, and has had no word
from home in months. His mother comes to the Home Service Section, and
says that she has been writing for weeks, but her letters never reach him. At
once a letter is dispatched to the New England Division Headquarters, at Boston,
telling the trouble, and giving a picture of the family life. "Lillian is well, and you
would hardly know her, she has grown so since you have been gone. Your father
has been having a touch of the grip, but is now back at work, and your allotment
and allowance came through so that they have wanted for nothing. We thought
it best to send him to the hospital, so that he might have the best of care, and
that bill your mother will not have to worry about." This is only a sample of
the family news that reaches a man, through Boston, and then through the Bureau
of Communication.
A soldier in a Southern camp was taken ill. His mother received no letters
for days, and finally came to make inquiry. A telegram was sent at once to the
Associate Field Director for the Red Cross at the camp, and inside of four hours,
a reply was received saying that the soldier was in the base hospital, very ill
with pneumonia. The further information was given that everything possible was
being done for him, and if it was necessary for the family to come, they would
be notified. In two days, the telegram received, stated that the crisis was past
and all was well.
These are two of the simplest problems that come to the Home Service.
Family interference often complicates matters, and sometimes it seems almost
impossible to get matters righted, but this can be done, if the Home Service
Section has the patience to keep at it.
Since the first of July, 1918, cases have come in, with a rapidity which shows
that soldiers' families are keenly alive to the abilities of the Red Cross for real
service. At present, on March 15, 1919, there are about 700 cases on record,
in the office, and every day adds from five to twenty cases.
One of the most important tasks which has fallen to the lot of the Home
Service Sections throughout the country, has been that of caring for the families
of the soldiers of our allies, and it makes no difiference whether the man is in
the Polish, French, British, Canadian, or other allied forces, as to the care which
his family receives. In Holyoke a number of men enlisted in the allied service,
and in the case of the Polish, there was no allowance made for the families by
the government, so that it has meant these families must be cared for, and the
money given them as a regular allowance, every week. In the French, British
and Canadian, the allotments have sometimes been supplemented, and all this
has been done with the regular Red Cross funds.
It is most interesting to look back on the regular weekly disbursing sheet and
to find that the first week on record, ten dollars was given, and for the week,
just previous to this writing, $209.75 was given out. At the present time it costs

HoLYOKE In The Great War.
the Red Cross about $1,500 per month to take care of its Home Service families,
this including hospital bills, drugs, clothing, groceries, and cash. The task has
been greatly increased by the return of men from the service, for the responsi-
bility of the Red Cross does not cease when the man leaves service, if he really
does his level best to resume his place in civilian life. Many times the question
has been asked, "When will you close the office?" and the answer has been made
by the Red Cross, "When the last men return from France." There is added
need each day, for more help in the office, more visitors, more co-operation, more
everything, that the morale may not be broken at this most critical time.
Clan MacLaren, No. 144
(Order of Scottish Clans)
Clan MacLaren has purchased $800 in Liberty Bonds and the net proceeds of
their annual concert and ball, February 21, 1918, amounting to $230, was given to
the American Red Cross. Out of a total membership of 170, there were 55 mem-
bers in the Allied armies, three dying in service, William F. Henderson, James Gow
and John Waiters.
L'Union Alsace Lorraine
L'Union Alsace Lorraine has bought $1,250 worth of Liberty Bonds, con-
tributed $200 to the Red Cross and $25 to the United War Work campaign. Nine
members were in the service and of these Emile Colin and Victor Bollecker, died.

Holyoke Council, Knights of Columbus
^^■^HE number of members of Holyoke Council No. 9, Knights of Columbus,
^pL in service, including seven secretaries, 264. Seven died while in service, as
follows : Edwin J. Mitchell, James Kirkpatrick, Martin P. Kennedy, Patrick
J. Healey, James M. Hayden, James E. Shea, Frank B. Scarry. Five of
the above were killed in action, the other two died of disease.
The Council bought $1,300 worth of Liberty Bonds and $500 in War Savings
Stamps; gave to Red Cross, $683; collected for Red Anchor War Camp Fund,
$36.128.93 ; gave the use of K. of C. Adutorium free to the Red Cross nurses.
Chamber of Commerce, Holy Cross branch of Red Cross and a number of other
organizations.
A number of the members acted on committees on all drives. The Council
rooms were open at all times to all soldiers and sailors in the service. A sign to
that effect is hung outside the building. The first Christmas the Council sent to
every member who was "over there" a Christmas box containing cigarettes, chewing
tobacco, gum. chocolates, tooth paste, shaving cream, socks, handkerchiefs, cold
cream, etc. Christmas, 1918, a Christmas greeting of a Victory Letter was sent
to every member in the service whether "over here" or "over there." This letter
was signed by the worthy chaplain and grand knight and expressed the sentiments
of every member of the Council. An Honor Roll containing the names of every
member in the service was made and hung in the Council rooms. Pictures of
the members who died in the service were procured and framed and are now
hung in the Council rooms with the Honor Roll. A committee has been appointed
to procure some suitable souvenir for every member in the service. A number
of strangers who were in the service and who are in the service at the present
have been helped by Holyoke Council. They were provided with money and lodging.
The Council's shower baths were opened to all soldiers and sailors in the serv-
ice and towels and soap were furnished them free of charge. Magazines, books,
papers, etc., were sent to the different camps for the use of the soldiers. A min-
strel show was staged at Camp Devens by the K. of C. Minstrels and all automo-
biles that carried the troupe down were furnished by members of Holyoke Council.
A service flag with the numljcr of members in the service is hung outside the K. of C.
building. The Government was offered the use of the K. of C. Auditorium and
lodge room as a hospital for the wounded soldiers, sailors and marines if they
should need it.
Jewish Welfare Board
^•^^HE Holyoke branch of the Jewish Welfare Board was organized in the
..^m very early days of the war, to supplement in local work what the National
^^^ organization was doing in National and international work. The purpose
of the Jewish Welfare Board was to cater primarily to the Jewish boys in
the service ; and secondly to co-operate with all other agencies in striving to give
all men in the service and their families the greatest possible aid to make war
somewhat brighter.
As one of the branches of the National organization, Holyoke was called
upon to look after the welfare of the Jewish boys from the moment their names
appeared in draft or enlistment lists until the time they were back to civilian life
again. The work was divided as follows :
STATISTICS.
Careful records were made of each man in the service — those dependent upon
him, his occupation, particular fitness for special work, etc. After reaching the
army careful track was kept of his location, rank, promotion, citation, etc.
ENTERTAINMENT.
As each man or group of men left town they were given a send-off which was
largely attended by the Jewish community. A gift was given each man in the form
of wrist watches, flash lights, fountain pens, safety razors, and comfort kits
especially. Each fellow received in addition a prayer book and a book of Psalms
and quotations from the Bible. These books were vest pocket size and con-
veniently carried. As the boys came back on furloughs, either singly or in groups,
especial provisions were made for receptions of one kind or another. Local talent
was sent to the various camps to provide entertainment.
PERSONAL SERVICE.
Personal attention was given to each Holyoke Jewish boy in the service. A
letter was sent to him regularly once a week. Each month the "Y. M. H. A.
News," a publication issued by the Holyoke Young Men's Hebrew Association,
was mailed to them. This paper gave them all the local news, and was probably
far more appreciated than anything else that any of the organizations did for them,
since they were given the local news which they were hungering for. Regularly,
■especially at holidays, boxes of goodies were forwarded to them. Special requests
from the boys were taken care of by this department.
CIVILIAN RELIEF.
This work was done through the Red Cross, which was particularly fitted to
perform such work.
RELIGION.
Services were held for the men before leaving for camps and during furloughs.
The local branch also served as one of the sources from which men were
■drawn for work with the National board in the camps, both at home and abroad.
314 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
Thousands of men were needed for various kinds of work, such as religious
leaders, camp workers and entertainers.
The Holyoke branch co-operated extensively in all the Liberty Loans, Red
Cross and U. W. W. drives, having had its representatives both on the executive
boards of these drives, and among the list of workers.
No sooner was the armistice signed than immediately full arrangements were
made for the following work :
1. To assist the returning men in securing suitable positions without undue
loss of time.
2. To assist the families of discharged men in securing instant and satisfac-
tory relief in cases of emergency.
3. To keep the discharged men and their families informed of their rights
and opportunities with relation to industrial and social changes which are constantly
taking place.
4. To assist the wounded men in taking advantage of the rehabilitation and
educational program of the government.
The officers of the Holyoke branch of the Jewish Welfare Board are as follows :
President, Jacob L. Barowsky; Vice-President, Harry Berman; Secretary,
Harry Shepro ; Treasurer, Samuel Wasserman ; Chairman Religious Committee,
Rabbi M. Kurland; Chairman Entertainment Committee, Miss Celia Press; Chair-
man Personal Service Committee, Miss Lena Slotnick ; Chairman Statistical Depart-
ment, Miss Sarah Silverman; Chairman Civilian Relief, Mrs. J. Gold.
There were 71 Holyoke Jewish boys in the service. Since there was a total
population of about 1,000 Jews, this gives a percentage of over 7 per cent. Hol-
yoke's entire contribution of 3,600 men makes an approximate percentage of about
5 per cent of the total population. The Jews, therefore, of this city, have played
their part well in this war.
Young Men^s Christian Association
/ym^H'E Holyoke Young Men's Christian Association during the period of the
/j war steadfastly maintained a "win the war'' spirit. With a total mem-
^^^ bership of 1,200 men and boys, 182 of its younger men were in the United
States Army, Navy and Marine Corps. Of the number entering the service,
five gave their lives in the world's campaign for the safety of Democracy.
Seventeen local men represented the Holyoke Young Men's Christian Associa-
tion in the work of the Red Triangle during the war in camps of this country
and overseas. Those serving in the United States were W. A. Morse, General
Secretary; Lee H. Brow, Assistant General Secretary; Herbert B. Elmer, former
Boys' Work Secretary; B. W. Beaman, Physical Director; Rev. Edwin B. Dolan,
Rev. H. B. Howe, Ralph B. Doane, Magnus F. Peterson, Stephen Mahoney, Fred
Webber ,and Frank Smith. The men serving overseas were Rev. Robert Russell
Wicks, Rev. A. H. Coar, E. C. Purrington, Aaron C. Bagg, James Bower and
Arthur P. Provencher.
In the Red Triangle drive in November, 1917, $112,000 was raised in a great
campaign in charge of Herbert D. Elmer, Acting General Secretary, in the interests
of all the men in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps.
HoLYOKE In The Great AVar. 315
The United War Work campaign in the fall of 1918, under the direction of
W. A. Morse of the Holyoke Young Men's Christian Association, went "over the
top" and captured the magnificent sum of $227,000, which was divided among the
great organizations engaged in welfare work among the service men at home and
abroad.
The Holyoke Young Men's Christian Association from the very beginning kept
its hand on the pulse of afifairs as they related Holyoke to the great needs of the
world, and endeavored at all times to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other
splendid institutions of our city.
Holyoke Women's Christian Temperance Union
The Holyoke Woman's Christian Temperance Union has rendered war service
wherever they have seen an opportunity, both through their own individual efforts
and in co-operation with other societies. The Union was represented by one of its
members on the Woman's Committee for National Defense and thus kept in touch
with the government plans for woman's work. For many months every alternate
meeting was given to sewing for the Red Cross and early in the war a great amount
of old linen was collected for surgical use. The society has a membership of nearly
500 and the members working at home and at the Red Cross rooms gave about 25,000
hours to the work. The sum of $10 was contributed to the Red Cross linen shower ;
50 garments were made for the children of France and one French orphan has been
adopted. Probably 2,000 knitted articles were handed ill by the members. The
members practiced faithfully food conservation and secured through one of its
members 2,000 signatures to the food conservation pledge cards.
When Camp Bartlett was opened at Westfield a great supply of temperance
literature and posters was furnished for the use of those in charge.
In expenditure of money, this society has not been behind others in its patriot-
ism. It has already paid for two $100 Liberty Bonds and its members have served
on Liberty Bond committees. Early in the war $25 was given toward the fund for
a White Ribbon Ambulance, which was sqnt to the front by the National organiza-
tion. A drive for $50,000 was made by the State W. C. T. U. and the Holyoke
branch raised over $2,100. This $50,000 raised in the State was for the purchase
of a Massachusetts ambulance and field kitchens, which were sent to the front;
also for a chocolate fund and to help in the purchase of the White Ribbon Home at
Ayer, which has proven a great blessing to the soldiers and their relatives, furnish-
ing not only a social center but comfortable rooms for women near the railroad
station and having a well equipped cafeteria. Before the drive was made the
Holyoke W. C. T. U. gave $100 toward this home as well as one hundred towels
and several thousand paper napkins.
Fifty comfort bags for soldiers and sailors have been made and filled at an
expense of $100 each. • These bags contain not only the usual comforts but also
&■ copy of the Gospel, a few telling temperance leaflets or cards, such as "What
God Says to His Soldiers," and very often a personal letter from some older
woman of the Union.
Last but not least has been the service rendered toward War Prohibition. The
W. C. T. U. sent petitions, letters, telegrams and asked many prominent men
to do the same and found them very willing to do so.
316 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
Queen Mary's Needlework Guild
Queen Mary's Needlework Guild, with more than 100 members, was the first
■organization in Holyoke to send a box of hospital garments to the Allies. The
materials were bought by the members and made up by them, the Cunard Steam-
ship Company furnishing free transportation. The Guild members raised through
their own efforts by the holding of socials, card parties, etc., the sum of $3,897,
which was used to buy materials for making hospital garments for boys in the
American Hospital in London and the British Hospital in Bradford, Yorkshire,
England. The Guild also bought nearly $200 worth of wool which was knitted by
the members into socks, sweaters and other articles for outfits for local boys going
into the service. In addition subscriptions were made as follows : Red Cross, $130 ;
Red Triangle, $50; Red Anchor, $25; Salvation Army War Fund, $25; Women's
Christian Temperance Union, $25; United War Work campaign, $25. Christmas
checks to the amount of $122 were sent to the boys and letters and gifts were
sent them frequently. The members also did a lot of sewing and knitting at their
liomes for the Red Cross and also at the rooms of the Holyoke Chapter. Thirty-
four members had sons in the service and two made the supreme sacrifice, Charles
Trotman and William B. Craven. The officers of the Guild are : President, Frances
Iv. Parfitt ; vice-presidents, Mrs. Albert Cordingley, Mrs. James Parfitt, Mrs. Samuel
Kershaw, Mrs. George Tififany, Mrs. Levi Holgate ; treasurer, James Parfitt ; assist-
ant treasurer, George A. Sorton; collector, Mrs. Kelita Moxon ; Red Cross, Miss
"Sarah Clayton ; secretary, Mrs. Albert Cordingley.
Union Club
Through the activities of the members of the Union Club and the co-operation
•of the Cricket Club, the sum of about $1,000 was raised and applied for war
purposes. Of this amount $565 was set aside for the maintenance of two beds at
Neltey Hospital, England. A donation of $70 was made to the Holyoke chapter
of the Red Cross, $50 to the Halifax Relief Fund, $30 each to Queen Mary's
Needlework Guild and the British Unit. The tobacco committee sent out about
^200 worth of tobacco and cigarettes to all the boys and also gave to each and
every one entering the service, a nice little present to take away with them. The
club has invested $2,500 in Liberty Bonds and purchased a Roll of Honor at a
•cost of $100.
Last but not least of the war undertakings of the club was the maintenance
of communications with each and every member in the service and sending them
vv^ords of encouragement and good cheer from time to time. Eighteen members
were in the American service, of which John Watters died in France of pneumonia,
-while 17 joined the British and Canadian armies and of these Arthur Chatterton
and James Gow were killed in action and Patrick McManus was a prisoner for two
years in Germany.
Pioneer Lodge, No. 21, Sons of St. George
Pioneer Lodge has had 31 members in service and 14 have seen service in
France. Henry Lowe, Jr., was the only one to die in the service. The lodge
•contributed to the Prince of Wales Fund, American Soldiers' Relief, Halifax Relief,
Canadian Mission, Red Cross, United War Work and Widows' and Orphans'
Fund. The amount of money donated was $2,771, not including tobacco sent to
the boys which reached several hundred dollars worth.
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 317
Firemen's Progressive Union
The Firemen's Progressive Club, Local No. 40, International Association of
Fire Fighters, did its part with men, money and labor in helping win the war.
Out of 110 men in the fire department, and most of them over the required age,
10 went into the service, three in the navy and seven in the army. When the
age limit was raised there were 20 more firemen ready for the call.
The firemen at home bought Liberty bonds, Thrift stamps and knitted socks
for the men in service. In the First Liberty loan the members of the department
bought $3,350 worth, the second loan, $3,400, the third, $4,200, and the fourth,
$7,000, all individual subscriptions. In addition the Firemen's Aid Association
bought $6,000 worth and the Firemen's Progressive Club Fund took $100. The
department records show a total of $24,050 in bonds and does not take into account
several hundred dollars worth of Thrift stamps. The Knights of Columbus,
Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross, United War drives, the department members made
generous contributions.
In the fall of 1918, through the Red Cross, several machines were furnished
the firemen for knitting socks for service men. For the first time in 34 years
the firemen omitted their annual ball, the proceeds of which were for a worthy
cause. The firemen realized that the people had been called upon heavily for
donations and for this reason decided to omit the ball that others might receive
what they might have had.
Holyoke Lodge, No. 902, B. P. O. E.
Holyoke Lodge of Elks made a wonderful record in helping send Holyoke "over
the top" in the various Liberty Loan campaigns. In the first loan the lodge itself
bought $5,000 worth of bonds. When the second loan was launched the lodge
purchased $60,000 worth of bonds and sold them to its members either for cash
or on the partial payment plan. On the third loan the lodge bought $1,000 worth.
On the fourth loan the lodge appointed a committee that sold to the members
over and above what they had previously bought in their different walks of life,
$100,000 worth of bonds. Of this amount about $20,000 was bought among the
members living in Westfield and the remaining $80,000 in Holyoke. The lodge
contributed $475 for various war works and gave $1,025 as its share to the Grand
Lodge to build reconstruction hospitals and maintain base hospitals in France.
The lodge also placed its home at the disposal of the government for use as a
hospital for returned wounded soldiers.
St. Jerome T. A. B. 8C L. Society
The St. Jerome Temperance Society had 45 men in service and kept in constant
touch with all of them at home and overseas. Tobacco and other supplies were
sent to them and they were not forgotten at Christmas. The St. Jerome Ladies'
Aid Society joined with the men's organization and knitted sweaters and other
articles which were sent to the boys. Edwin J. Mitchell, who had always been a
loyal and faithful worker for the society, was the only member to die in the
.-service, being killed in action.
318 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
Permanent Memorial Building
Holyoke's part in the great war will be commemorated by the erection of a
memorial building, a structure that will stand forever as a monument to those
who fought in France and elsewhere and for those at home who did their part
ih backing them up. Mayor Ryan has appointed a committee as follows : Joseph
A. Skinner, Chairman ; William L. Foote, Secretary ; J. Lewis Perkins, Edward N.
White, Urban Fleming, Frank B. Towne, John A. Callahan, C. L. Newcomb, John
J. Lynch, Louis A. LaFrance, Philip M. Judd, Rev. Casimir Cwiklinski, David
Clark, Donald Cameron, William C. Hammond, Peter J. Hinds, Samuel Baum,
Joseph Equi and P. J. Garvey. This committee is empowered to get plans for the
proposed building, select the site and intends to make it one of the finest in the
countrv.
L'Union National Francaise
Thirtj'-five members of L'Union Francaise served in the French army and
12 died in the French service, Lucien Lang, Emile Collin, Jules Rumelhard, Alfred
Charton, Auguste Braun, Aloise Ruez, Marcel Sauvageot, Joseph Sauvageot, L.
Hoesoart, Albert Cantini and Louis Houder. Two members were killed in action
with the United States forces, Emile Bruder and Raoul Willemain. The organi-
zation invested a total of $1,200 in the first four Liberty loans and gave the Red
Cross $435 and $25 monthly.
Cercle Rochambeau
Cercle Rochambeau had 82 men in the service, two died, Priv. Joseph Leo Larivee
and Priv. Desire Joyal, and four were wounded. The society contributed to the
Red Triangle, Red Cross, Joffre French Relief Fund and the Syrian Relief Fund.
For the members in service the Cercle had a tobacco fund which has been turned
into a reception fund since the armistice was signed. The physical director had
charge of sending newspapers to the boys and the recording secretary looked after
the correspondence with them and kept in touch with their relatives as much as
possible, a committee of three assisting. In the Fourth Liberty loan campaign
95 per cent of the members bought bonds.
Police Relief Association
The Holyoke Police Relief Association bought Liberty Loan bonds to the
amount of $9,000. The association voted not to hold its annual ball last year
because of the war and the drain on the people of the city for the support of
various war campaigns. Three regular members were in the service, Joseph Bader,
James Baker and Jeremiah Coffey. The police department also did much work
in assisting government agencies, in keeping tabs on residents suspected of unfriend-
liness to the United States, in checking up enemy aliens, and co-operating with the
exemption boards in looking up questionnaires and preventing evasions of the
selective service law.
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 319
Holyoke Nest of Orioles
The Holyoke Nest, Fraternal Order of Orioles, wa^ only a few months old
when war was declared. Out of 146 members, 27 entered the service and the
lodge kept in constant communication with those in the various camps and after
they had gone overseas. From time to time a little remembrance of tobacto and
chocolates were sent to them. Through the Supreme Nest, the lodge bought $300
worth of Liberty Bonds and members were urged to make individual purchases
of bonds and Thrift stamps.
All Were Patriotic
The Red Men, Odd Fellows, Masonic Orders, A. O. H. and various other
fraternal organizations, social clubs and neighborhood groups all contributed their
share in the purchase of bonds. Thrift stamps and donations to the various welfare
drives and were represented by hundreds of members in the service. The labor
organizations were patriotic to the core and bought bonds and stamps and helped
in the other drives. The Central Labor Union was a heavy buyer of bonds and
ever ready to assist in all patriotic causes.
General Foch's Ten Commandments
It was Moses who wrote the Ten Commandments, but it remained for Marshal
Foch to write the 10 rules of war by which his men beat back the Germans. It
is the little things that count and it is the exact nicety of the fighting of the man
in the ranks that wins the war, thought the great French general. Here are the
10 military commandments of Foch :
1. Keep your eyes and ears ready and your mouth in the safety notch, for
it is your soldierly duty to see and hear clearly, but as a rule you should be
heard mainly in the sentry challenges or the charging cheer.
2. Obey orders first, and if still alive kick afterward if you have been wronged.
3. Keep your arms and equipment clean and in good order; treat your animals
fairly and kindly and your motor or other machine as though it belonged to you
and was the only one in the world. Do not waste your ammunition, your gas,
your food, your time, nor your opportunity.
4. Never try to fire an empty gun nor at an empty trench, but when you
shoot, shoot to kill and forget not that at close quarters a bayonet beats a bullet.
5. Tell the truth squarely, face the music and take your punishment like a
man; for a good soldier won't lie, he doesn't sulk, and is no squealer.
6. Be merciful to the women of your foe and shame them not, for you are a
man; pity and shield the children in your captured territory, for you were once a
helpless child.
7. Bear in mind that the enemy is your enemy and the enemy of humanity
until he is killed or captured ; then he is your dear brother or fellow soldier beaten
or ashamed, whom you should no further humiliate.
8. Do your best to keep your head clear and cool, your body clean and com-
fortable and your feet in good condition, for you think with your head, fight with
your body and march with your feet.
9. Be of good cheer and high courage; shirk neither work nor danger; suffer
in silence and cheer the comrades at your side with a smile.
10. Dread defeat, but not wounds; fear dishonor, but not death and die gam?,
and whatever the task, remember the motto of the division, "It Shall be Done."

"The Lost Battalion ^^
/yt^-KlVATE RAYMOND FLYNN, Co. E, 308th Infantry, who was with
J Em ^^'^^^ famous "Lost Battalion" in the Argonne Forest, has written the his-
t[^ tory of that eventful period. He emphatically states that Major Whittle-

told the wounded man who brought the surrender request, "You can tell him to
go to hell." His story follows:

ammunition extra, and this fact alone was enough for us to know that there was
going to be something doing. Just as we were taking over the trenches, relieving
the French, our artillery opened up in back of us, and for miles the sky was red
with gun flashes. It meant the opening barrage of the drive that is now history.
It was some volley of shells that went over into the German line.
We advanced in the early hours of morning, under the most difficult conditions
imaginable. "No Man's Land" was one mass of barbed wire entanglements, swamp
and thick underbrush. To make things worse there was a heavy fog, although I
suppose this had its advantages as well as disadvantages. The attack was such a
surprise to the enemy, that he had to retire immediately to positions further back.
We finally worked our way into the trenches that they abandoned, and spent the
first night there, resting in mud up to our knees.
At daybreak we started out again and from the second day on we met heavy
machine gun fire, and we knew that the sailing was not going to be as easy as on
the first day. We advanced gradually through their communicating trenches and
on the fourth day the battalion reformed in a deep valley, to advance over a steep
hill. We were by this time in the heart of the Argonne Forest, and to get rations
up to us was almost impossible and in the first four days we had only one meal
brought up from the rear. This meal consisted of cold cabbage and roast beef
with bread. We lost quite a few men in taking this first hill, but we had to go
over at all costs and when we reached the top, we found the effects of our own
fire. All this time, you must not forget, I was carrying and operating an automatic
rifle that weighs, when loaded, about 23 pounds. To do this on a full stomach,
requires some little effort, so you can imagine how I was puffing when we had
hills almost as steep as the side of our block to climb. We dug in here and held
the top of the hill over night. This gave us a chance for a little rest. Sleep was
out of the question, but to sit down and "watch" all night was rest enough for us.
That night the enemy retired from the valley below and went over into the next
hollow. The valley from which he retired was strewn with dead Germans, the
results of our artillery that had been banging away all night.
On the night of October 2, just before dark, we crossed the top of the second
hill and as near as I can understand, the battalion on our right and left, did not
keep up with our advance. We were going too fast, while at the same time we
were trying to establish communication with both flanks. We had started out on
the 26th of September with almost 200 men and the strength of E Co., in the
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 357
night of October 2, was exactly 52 men and 2 officers. The wounded, killed and
missing had reduced our company to that number. It was on this night that we
walked unknowingly, through the German line, down the side of the hill, and across
the valley to take up position for over night on the further side of the valley,
this hill afifording us the best protection. While we rested that night, the enemy
was busy coming in behind us through a trench that we supposed was abandoned.
He also established lines on both flanks, and on the top of the hill, in front of us.
In the morning at daybreak, my company started out, along the bottom of
the hill, toward the left flank. The different companies of the battalion were taking
up their positions, preparatory to advancing. We walked about 200 yards along
the bottom of the hill, and then started up the steep incline. When we got to
within about 20 yards from the top, some one hollered down to us. (I am speaking
of E Co. only, as we were separated from the battalion at this time), "Americans!"
We all kept cjuiet for a minute or two, and the exclamation came again, "Ameri-
cans down there?" One of our men answered "Yes." The voice came back, "What
company?" We answered, "E Co." To our surprise it was a German talking
English and when he discovered that we were Americans, he started to give orders
to his men. What he was saying I do not know, but I did hear him say something
about "hand grenade." They pronounce this word almost like we do in English.
The brush was so thick that we could not see more than a few feet in front
of us, but we could hear, and knew there was going to be something doing. A
shower of hand grenades greeted us, and they opened up with machine guns, that
lined the top of the hill in back of us. across the valley, which was only about 50
yards wide, and the side of that hill was filled with Boches. While half of the
company fired to the top of the hill in front of us, the other half opened up on
the hill in back of us. We realized that we were surrounded and it took pretty
quick thinking to keep ourselves from being annihilated. Naturally there was a
little confusion among the men, and in the excitement the company split, .35 men
going along toward the left working their way as best they could out of the
predicament. Of these 35 men several lost their lives and many were taken pris-
oners. In the meantime 17 of us were doing all we could to hold them off from
coming at us in the rear. I emptied several magazines of ammunition with the
automatics and it was here that I claimed two to their credit. I saw them go
down, and they never got up. Gradually our little body of 17 men, there being
only 15 by this time, two had been killed, worked down the right side of the hill
and across the valley. I'll never forget going across that open space below. A
machine gun opened up on us, but we all managed to get back to the battalion
without getting hit. If you remember I told you the rest of the battalion was only
200 yards away from us, on the side of the hill. Lieut. Leach who worked his
way back with us immediately reported to Major Whittlesey what had happened.
The battalion prepared for an attack, and it was only a question of a few minutes
when machine guns opened up on us from all sides.
We were ordered to dig in, and dig like hell. As a rule, at least, two men
always work together when "digging in," so myself and one of my close friends,
a fellow named Chisewell from Union City, Conn., got our little shovels going
and soon had a hole deep enough to keep our bodies below the level of the
ground. Several of the men were killed while digging, but as we had stayed there
the night before most of the men had already dug in. From the top of the hill
in front of us, there came a steady shower of hand grenades, rifle grenades and
they had a couple of trench mortars working. These, with machine guns working
on our left, and in back of us, were putting out many of our men and in no time
the hill was strewn with dead and wounded.
358 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
This was the principal cause of our staying on the side of this hill for six
days and nights. We could not leave our wounded, to try and fight our way out.
You can imagine the situation. It would take all of the men who were not wounded
to carry the wounded back, and as we were surrounded it was impossible to do
this. It would not be the American style to abandon the wounded and think only
of ourselves. There was only the one thing to do, hold them off as best we could
and wait for help. This help was a long time coming, and each day we were losing
many more men. When the third or fourth day had gone by we were pretty well
exhausted, being without food or rest, trying our best to keep them from us as I
say, it was simply a case of protecting the wounded until help reached us. We
could hear our troops fighting in back of us, and the sound of their guns was get-
ting closer every hour.
The French were fighting hard on our right. By this time our troops in back
of us knew we were lost, and had received orders from headquarters to continue
the advance at all cost until they reached us. We withstood attack after attack,
even though most of us who could handle a gun were so weak that it required
great effort. To hear those wounded men crying with pain night after night was
enough to take the heart out of any man, and I must confess that I had given up
all hopes of ever seeing Holyoke again. Who wouldn't with dead and wounded
lying all around you? Chances looked pretty slim. On the sixth day, when the
307th broke their way through, after losing many men, it was like a dream coming
true. The Boche beat a hasty retreat, and less time than it takes to tell we had
doctors and plenty of Red Cross ambulances to rush the wounded and exhausted
men back to the field hospitals.
Our colonel and General Alexander were on the hill a short time after they
reached us and they were more than pleased when they heard that we had refused
an "invitation" to surrender by the commander of the German forces. We had
been sending out patrols every day to try to work their way through the line in
back of us to get word to headquarters of the exact spot that we were in. These
patrols every day, generally two or three men, were either killed or captured, and
on the fifth day one of our men who had attempted to get through with six others,
came back wounded with a note from the German commander to Major Whittlesey
telling him that "on the grounds of humanity he should surrender, as they could
hear the cries of our wounded every night."
I have read several articles from different papers and it's amusing to read all
the different versions of Major Whittelsey's answer to the note. One paper said
he tied a piece of paper to a rock and threw it over into the German line with
the answer, "Go to Hell." Another paper said it was a German who brought the
note over with a white flag. Well, you know how many different ways the paper
spoke of the answer to the note. The truth of it is that he simply remarked to
the wounded man that brought the note back, "You can tell him to go to hell."
When I came out of there I had a two weeks' growth of beard on my face,
and looked as though I was drawn through a knot hole. My clothes were torn to
pieces and I looked like a wild man. I was in bed about three weeks, but soon
after I had gotten my strength back and was able to join the company. While on
my way back the armistice was signed. I can assure you this was the best bit
of news I had ever heard in my young life. Several of our men who were taken
prisoners have come back to the company and we spent many a happy hour around
a candle in our billet telling our different experiences. The men who were pris-
oners have many interesting stories to tell.
Corporal MacMenigalPs Story
CORP. ROY .AIacMENIGALL, Co. D, 104th Infantry, "Holyoke's Own," gave
a vivid account of his capture by the Germans and of the fight preceding
it, in which his company was engaged. Corp. MacMenigall's story follows :
"After our company left the Toul sector to go to Chateau-Thierry the boys
thought that they were going to Paris for a rest. They were put in box cars and
started in that direction and got near enough to see the city when they were sent
to one side and stopped outside at Noissy le Sec. Here another engine was put
on and they were started away again, stopping at a large farm, where D Co, was
billeted for about four days and enjoyed a good rest. Then came the order to
move and the company was loaded on auto trucks about 5 a. m. on the morning of
July 3 and rode all day and into the evening. As they proceeded the sound of the
guns got louder and louder. The French lined the roads and wished us good luck,
saying we were going into a bad sector. We got off the trucks at night and marched
through the woods nearer to the gun fire. Shallow dugouts were in the woods
where we were stationed all that day and the next day, and we were not far from
the front lines. The next night we started for the front lines in the ravine, where
we relieved the Marines who had stopped the German drive at the point of the
Chateau Thierry salient.
"Our company took over the positions of a company of Marines in this ravine
which resembled in some way the Elmwood dingle, only it was not so deep. At
the bottom a brook flowed, something like the stream flowing through the dingle,
only deeper. The ravine was not quite as deep, being about 30 feet in depth and
rocky. On the sides next the brook dugouts were made, merely holes in the side
of the bank, good to keep off sharpnel, but not strong enough to withstand a shell.
On arrival work had to be started in burying the dead Germans and Marines lay-
ing in the ravine, although I was lucky in not having to act on the burying detail.
The front line was advanced a number of yards from the edge of the ravine in a
wheat field, the boys digging dugouts like graves, which they covered with wheat
and in some cases small crosses were set up to give German aviators the notion
that only graves were located in the wheat 'field. This seemed to work as the
Germans thought the line was farther back and shelled the edge of the ravine and
woods, letting the wheat field alone. A, B and C Cos. held the front line and D
was in support a few hundred yards back.
"The company, besides furnishing burial details, had to bring up the rations
at night. My duty as corporal of the runners was to stand at the majpr's dugout
and when he called for a runner to go and get them for him, and I was four
hours on duty and eight hours off. All this time the German shells were coming
over and to protect myself I stood in the entrance to the major's dugout. The
adjutant asked me what I was standing there for and to go outside. Later he
came out and about that time two or three whizz-bangs came over in quick suc-
cession and he dove into the dugout with me on top of him. After that he did
not criticize me for taking cover. My post before the dugout was on top of a
mound under which a German was buried and the grave was shallow and at night
360 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
the odor was terrible. Another had been buried in the bank nearby with his head
sticking out and another over across, so I had company.
"It seemed cruel to send the runners out into the shell fire where their chance
for life was small, but it had to be done and these runners were among the bravest.
We all seemed like children for we wanted to go together and not alone, and would
join hands and run double on the errands. I saw Jack Lambert meet his death in
this place, a bugler and five or six others. The shells would knock down the trees
and the earth and dugouts seemed to go up and down with the explosions. After
seven days, we were relieved and were again shelled going out, and it was then
that Snider was killed.
"We were in reserve for a time and then went to the front again, D Co. being
sent in with the second battalion, because K Co. was in quarantine. Through some
mix-up in orders the company got into position late and were two kilometers behind
at daylight, so 'that they got shelled and gassed. As we were running up in single
file with bayonets fixed, another line passed us going to the rear and yelled to us,
'Go to it, D.' We faced about later and passed through the ravine and when
coming out Corporal Ladouceur was wounded. Another man dropped in the
brook and across the bridge two fellows were lying in the path and another was
blown up into a tree by a high explosive shell and his legs and arms blown off.
On the edge of the woods we took cover, the shells going over our heads and
bursting behind us. The wounded came by us and we helped to give some first-
aid. We were ordered to hold where we were. We were then ordered to take
protection in the ravine and we went there and got into dugouts.
"In the dugout where I went there were two wounded D Co. boys, the Red
Cross later taking them out. The Germans were retreating and we followed, and
the night of the 21st got into contact with them again. We were ordered forward,
but through mistake our barrage dropped behind us instead of over and we had
to march to the right and back and the barrage was stopped. We then advanced
again and got to where we could see the Germans at the machine guns and a lot
of us got touched by gas.
"Machine guns in front were firing directly at us and back of that position
was a wooded hill and as we advanced the Germans made a run for the hill.
Two started away from the guns, but others who had started away came back and
we had to drop down to escape the bullets. A number of the boys were hit. I
laid flat in the wheat field and Craven came up to where I was. Some one yelled,
'Every one for himself,' but we could not get up without getting mowed down by
the guns. Craven had an automatic rifle but was out of ammunition and we could
not find any, and a sniper began firing at me. A little ways away I could hear
Mason singing 'Tipperary' and another fellow over further said to Mason, 'I'm shot
now.' Some one else said, 'Shut up, if you don't want to be made into a sieve.'
"The last I remember the Germans were shelling the woods, the shells pass-
ing close overhead and when I recovered consciousness a German was pushing
me with his foot and there were a number of others around so I knew that the
game was up. He asked me if I was wounded and I told him 'No.' He handed
me a cigarette and took my pistol and said, 'Come.' He asked me where was our
line and I told him we didn't have any. 'What do you mean? Of course you
have a line.' I said we were chasing them as they retreated and so didn't know
anything about a line. He said later that he was an American but happened to
be over in Germany when the war started and they pushed him in. There were
no stretchers and Joe Greeley and I took part of a shelter tent and brought in the
wounded boys. We could see our boys coming.
lioLYOKE In The Great War. 361
"That night we were sent to regimental headquarters and slept in a barn with
200 Germans. A shell hit the barn and killed 13 'Jerrys' and wounded as many
more. The next day we started for the rear and in passing a battery one of the
artillerymen jeered at us. About five minutes afterward the wliole battery was
wiped out by American shellfire. They caught another battery on the road and
wiped that out.
"We got to divisional headquarters and a general there asked me, 'How do you
like the war'? I thought of the D Co. joke and responded, 'That it was the only
war we had on hand and we had to take care of it.' Another German asked how
many Americans were across and I said two million. He said I lied and that there
was only 9,000.
"On the way back to the rear the Allied planes came over, bombed the town
and chased the artillery out of the woods and smashed them up. The food given
was not sufficient until we reached Germany when the Red Cross rations arrived
and after that there was no more trouble. The Y. M. C. A. sent the prisoners
equipment for games, etc., and they remained in prison camp until the armistice
was signed, when the Germans threw open the gates and told the prisoners to go
home. We were ordered to stay for a short time, however, until arrangements
could be made to ship them through Switzerland and finally they arrived in America
p few weeks before D Co. came back."
Last Officer in A. E. F. Killed
>»^ E\". WILLIA.M F. DAVITT of Holyoke and Willimansett, a chaplain in the
^W\^ army with the rank of first lieutenant, was killed by a shell explosion at
'^^^ 9.45 o'clock on the morning of the signing of the armistice and just one
hour and 15 minutes before the time set for the stopping of hostilities.
He was the last chaplain and the last officer of the American Expeditionary Forces
to give up his life for democracy in the great war.
On the date of his death— November n, 1918, he had returned to his old
regiment, after being attached to the corps headquarters for a few weeks. He
remarked that it was like a homecoming. He gave Colonel Eckert a flag which he
had been carrying in his roll of bedding. He proposed that the flag was to be used
in the flag-raising at the close of hostilities. A few minutes later, so the dispatch
says, he started out across a clearing and a shell struck him. He was killed
instantly.
Chaplain Davitt was worshipped by the entire division. A casket of oak was
made for him and it was lined with an olive drab army blanket. Another blanket
was folded and used as a pillow. The flag that he had given to the colonel was
draped over the casket. He was buried the next day with one of the most impres-
sive ceremonies accorded anyone.
The hearse was formed with two machine gun carts and an army mule, which
had been one of the chaplain's pets, drew the casket. The horse of the chaplain
was led to the burying ground by an orderly. The stirrups were reversed and the
regimental band trailed playing the dead march.
:562 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
The clergyman who officiated at the grave was Rev. George S. L. Connor of
this city, senior chaplain with the 32nd Division. He was a classmate of Father
Davitt's and a close personal friend. They had sought each other since the time
they heard that the other was in France and held a reunion but a few weeks
before Chaplain Davitt was killed.
Chaplain Davitt was cited for bravery on August 6. during the operations
along the Vesle river. Learning that 40 wounded Americans were cut off in a
ravine, he called for volunteers and led a rescuing party through a hail of machine
gun bullets. The party rescued every one of the wounded men and not a member
of the rescuing party had been hit.
The Distinguished Service Cross won for this brave and gallant action had
been awarded to the local chaplain.
Father Davitt was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Davitt of 842 Chicopee
street, Willimansett. He was born on Sargeant street, Holyoke, about 32 years
ago and received his early education in this city, graduating from the Chicopee
High School in the class of 1903. He attended Holy Cross College where he played
for three years on the varsity football team, being a star tackle. His chum, Father
Connor, was end on the same team. Father Davitt for one year was captain of
the team.
Chaplain Davitt was an all-around athlete, having played basketball with the
Holyoke Y. M. C. A. team in the old days and being an excellent wrestler. He
was fond of sports. At the home of his parents in Willimansett there are several
silver cups which he won in different events.
At Holy Cross College he made a host of friends readily with his genial and
affable disposition, his high standing as a student and his ready participation in
the college activities. He had a faculty of keeping these friendships in after years
and there were none closer to him than his classmates, Father Connor in France,
Rev. Charles H. Duffy of St. Michael's Cathedral in Springfield, Rev. Dr. P. F.
Dowd, formerly of Holy Cross Church here and now in Pittsfield, and Rev. Charles
L. Foley, a chaplain in the United States Army.
After completing his studies at Holy Cross College in 1907 he spent a year
at Okron, Ohio, and then entered the Grand Seminary at Montreal, Canada, from
which he was ordained to the priesthood in December, 1911, by Archbishop Bruchesi
of Montreal.
His first appointment was to St. John's Church, Worcester, where he became
a great influence in the charitable and philanthropic work of the city. He served
four years as chaplain of the State Industrial School, the Lyman School for Boys
in Westboro, and was very popular with and much admired by the youths with
whom he came in contact. He was greatly instrumental in the organization of
St. Agnes' Guild in Worcester, temporary charitable home for women, girls and
children, and was active in juvenile court work.
Father Davitt went to Lenox in 1916 as assistant to Rev. William F. Grace
of St. Ann's Church and it was there that he was located when he was called in
September, 1917, to become a K. of C. chaplain. After several months spent at
Camp McArthur, Waco, Tex., he was commissioned a first lieutenant and returned
to Waco on November 6, 1917, and left for overseas February, 1918, with the
125th Infantry of the 32d Division, this regiment being composed of National
Guard troops from Michigan and Wisconsin. He was detached for a time, during
which he went over the top on several occasions with machine gun outfits of which
he was temporary chaplain. He rejoined his old regiment on the day he was killed.
He was beloved by his men from the first, as was evidenced in letters received
from them. He was with them always in the thick of the fight and was more to
them than a friend and counselor.
His brother, Lieut. James Davitt of the Aviation Corps, was but five miles
away from the place where his brother was killed.
Brig.-Gen. Cole Fully Vindicated
>«^ HE vindication of Brig.-Gen. Charles H. Cole of the 52d Brigade, 26tb
^M Division, was received with joy by the general's many friends in Holyoke.
^^^ During the time that the troops were at Camp Bartlett, under the com-
mand of General Cole, he had time to renew old friendships and so well
was he liked that he was tendered a banquet in the Hotel Nonotuck. General Cole
was also the friend of every man at the concentration camp at Hampton Plains
and while he was a stickler for discipline, he was always ready to help the men
out. The Boston Globe gave the following story on January 4, 1919 :
"The history of the fraternization episode in the 26th Division as stated by
General Cole in replying to the charges follows :
"On October 20, the 52d Brigade heard that another unit of the division had
been trying to efifect a surrender by enemy troops and that no objection had been
made to the plan. No orders had been issued against such fraternization, but
General Cole at the time expressed his disapproval of the practice to his sub-
ordinates.
"The same day the enemy tried to fraternize with the 102d Infantry of his
brigade and Colonel Cheatham promptly issued orders forbidding his men from
communicating with the enemy in accordance with General Cole's expressed opinion.
"When the 103d Infantry also of the 52d brigade took over the front, October
25, General Cole ordered Colonel Hume, commanding the 103d, to see to it that
no fraternization took place.
"Major General Edwards had relinquished command of the division to Brig.-
Gen. Bamford, October 22.
"A message came from division headquarters to the 52d brigade, October 30,.
saying that fraternization was not to be permitted, this being the first word to-
come from above that the practice was disapproved. Brig.-Gen. Cole, however,
had disapproved the practice 10 days before the message came from headquarters.
"When this message was received. General Cole directed that every officer of
his brigade should be sent written orders confirming his previous verbal order and
stating the order more forcefully than ever.
"To see that his orders were being carried out, General Cole talked with
Colonel Hume and other officers and learned that instead of there being fraterniza-
tion at the front there were casualties every day. Any infantryman who started
strolling into No Man's Land met bullets instead of greetings.
"The German and Yankee lines were less than 75 yards apart and the situation-
remained tense during the first week of November, while the Americans were await-
ing their chance to pursue the Germans.
"On November 6 six Germans entered the 52d Brigade lines and surrendered.
When they were seen at. headquarters by General Cole he was informed that there
was evidence that some of his enlisted men had not obeyed the orders against
fraternization but that the platoon commander had immediately stopped the practice.
"Thereupon General Cole ordered an immediate investigation of the reported
fraternization and ordered that the results be reported to him.
364 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
"But the report never reached General Cole, because, November 8 he was
removed and was not told the cause of his removal.
"Accordingly General Cole felt when told that he was charged with allowing
his troops to fraternize and with not stopping the practice when ordered to, that
the charge was untrue. He felt so because he had disapproved the practice 10
da\s before he was ordered to prevent it, even though it was allowed in another
regiment; because when a message was received from headquarters he sent it out
to all his officers as a general order and because from the first he had been more
than ordinarily careful to prevent fraternization.
"The other charge, of not being aggressive in contact with the enemy seemed
to General Cole even more unwarranted, as is shown by this presentation of the
case:
"He had organized the brigade in August, 1917, and for 12 months had been
in command in France, taking it into the front line in the Chemin-des-Dames dur-
ing February and March, 1918 ; into the Apremont-Toul sector from April until
June; in the Bois de la Brigade Marne sector from July 18 to 2.5; in the St. Mihiel
drive, and finally in the Neptune sector north of Verdun from the middle of
October until the day he was relieved.
"During all that service his brigade had come under the orders of no fewer
than eight French or American division commanders, and from no one of them
did General Cole hear any criticism indicating that he was not aggressive.
"Incidentally, Brig.-Gen. Cole served longer in the front line than any other
brigadier in the American army. In the shakeup of the 26th Division officers,
Sibley pointed out in a dispatch that General Cole, Colonel Bunnell of the Engineers
and Colonel W. J. Keville of the Ammunition Train were the only commanding
officers left on November 6 with the commands they had brought from America.
"From Brig.-Gen. Bamford, General Cole heard no criticism of his lack of
aggressiveness until told of the charge after leaving his command. No specific
instances were mentioned in the charges.
''General Cole had served under General Bamford only two weeks when he
was removed, and in that time General Bamford had come in personal contact
with General Cole only during one 10-minute interview, Octol)er 28.
"During those two weeks under General Bamford the 52d Brigade had inces-
santly harassed the enemy by day and night patrols. Two raids had been repelled,
in which casualties were inflicted on the enemy and no prisoner was taken by the
Germans.
"When both infantry brigades were ordered to raid the enemy trenches, the
52d succeeded in entering the enemy trenches, leaving four killed and seven
wounded.
"While in the Toul sector the 52d Brigade and both its regiments were cited
in orders by General Pasaga.
"As is well known, the colors of the 104th were decorated, the only regiment
so honored, it is understood.
"The other regiment of his brigade, the 103d Infantry, was specially named and
commended by the French general commanding the 8th French Army and by
General Pershing.
"The brigade had made a record in defense and assault which left no place
for a charge of lack of aggressiveness, never being behind units which held
neighboring sectors on the front.
HoLYOKE In The Great War.
365
"At the moment General Cole was removed from his command the men of
his brigade were leading the entire divisional front, and General Cole w-as nearer
to the front than any other field officer of the division.
"Such, the Globe knows, is the record on which Brig.-Gen. Cole went before
the board of superior officers, who decided that he should be restored to his com-
mand : and the well-known and well-liked Massachusetts soldier who jumped into
the ranks as a private the spring of 1917, so that he wouldn't be left out of the
war, today commands the 52d Infantry Brigade."

^^Hell Fighters" Bring Back Good Stories
They were known as the "Hell Fighters," those negro doughboys of the 369th
(old 15th New York Infantry), whom Colonel William Hayward led in France.
From all accounts they earned the title ; and they brought back with them not only
glory, but anecdotes filled with humor and the dialect of their race. Some of the
stories they told on themselves, others were retailed by their officers.
"Would you like to be in the airplane service?" an officer asked one of the
negroes while he was watching a French machine sailing overhead.
"No, suh, not fo' mine," was the rejoinder.
"Why?" the officer persisted.
"Well, you see, ef I was up in dat dah machine an^ de officer got kilt I'd have
to git out an' crank up de engine, wouldn't I? I wouldn't have nothin' to
Stan' on."
A story often told concerns a seasick negro whose bunkie urged him to go out
on deck.
"Come awn," he begged. "Dey's a ship a-passin' right now."
"Go 'way," said he of the sickbed. "Doan you bothah me until we's passin' a
tree."
In one of the first trenches were 5,000 negro troops, supported at some distance
in the rear by a force of whites 10,000 strong. A newly arrived negro trooper,
who was visibly nervous, was being "kidded" mercifully by his companions.
"Whut's you do. Hennery," one of the tormentors asked, "ef ten billion, o'
dem bush Germans wuz to pop up outen de groun' right 'bout as close to you as
nineteen is to twenty?"
"I ain't a-tellin' whut I'd do," Henry answered, "but I know whut de res' o'
you niggahs would do, an' I know whut de papers back home would be sayin' de
nex' mawnin'. Dey'd have big headlines : 'Ten Thousand White Folks Trampled
to Death.'"
One force of negroes was quartered next to a division of Moroccans, who had
a perpetual fued with a regiment of Singalese nearby. The Moroccans are mulatto
in color, while the Singalese are as black as most of the members of Colonel Hay-
ward's old regiment. This fact was really at the bottom of the fued.
On one occasion Colonel Hayward wanted to send a messenger to the Moroccan
commander and chose three of his own men to deliver it.
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 371
As the messengers approached the Moroccan camp the latter mistook them
for the despised Singalese. They rushed from their dugouts brandishing guns,
knives and pistols, and with wild shouts warned the strangers not to come nearer.
The New Yorkers beat a hasty retreat, and when Colonel Hayward demanded
of one what the troulile was he replied :
"Color.el. you bettah sen' some o" deni light cullud Hahlem lounge lizahds fo'
dis job. We's done !"'
The Morocco Division occupied the same position for months, and during that
time managed to collect a large number of German marks, each coin being worth
about 16 cents. The New York troops spent their energies in collecting French
francs. Whenever they were able to do so they exchanged their francs for the
German coin. Colonel Hayward asked one of his men why he did this.
"Why, we's gwine to spen' it in Germany, of cose," the doughboy replied.
"Ain't dat whah we's a-gwine?"
A group of colored Harlemites was standing in the mess line when several
German planes suddenly appeared overhead. In half a minute the line had melted
to one man, the top sergeant.
'Ts you jes plum crazy or don't you know nothin'?" the sergeant remonstrated
when the men returned.
"Well, boss," replied the courageous vSam, "heaven is a long ways from France
an' I ain't no hand to go travelin' on a empty stunimick."
A lieutenant inquired of a homesick youth why he was so anxious to get back
home. "Aren't you being used all right? Did you ever see such pretty girls in
your life?"
"I'se liein' used all right and de French ladies is sho easy to look at," was
the reply; "but my heart's jes natchally yeahnin' fo' de little O. D. gal I lef in
Alabam'." (O. D. is army for olive drab.)
"What would you do if a pack of Germans suddenly came right down on top
of us ?" asked a sergeant.
"Dey ain't gwine to know whar I is," replied the private.
"How's that, Sam?"
"Well, you see, dey might know whar I wuz, but not whar I is."
On the night of armistice day a negro trooper met some hilarious Frenchmen.
Next morning he was before his captain charged with intoxication.
"Young man," scowled the captain, "you've got a mighty good record and I'm
sorry. Have you any excuse to offer for this outbreak?"
"I ain't got no 'xcuse, please Cap'n," said the culprit, "but I'se done got a good
reason."
"A reason!" exclaimed the Captain. "What is it?"
"Well, Cap'n, I dunno de English fo" it, but de bunch I met las' night called
it 'encore.' "
Fighting K. of C. Chaplain
Rev. John B. DeValles, K. of C. chaplain with the 104th Infantry, who was
decorated when 116 members of the regiment received the Croix de Guerre in
May, 1918, served as one of the chaplains of the regiment and was commissioned
a first lieutenant. Dr. DeValles told of fighting in the St. Mihiel drive, as follows :
"The hardships and discomforts of the last drive were the strain that broke
the camel's back for me. Following the retreating Boches, I wrenched my back
in jumping a trench. I hobbled for hours in opposition to medico's advice, which
I now regret having refused.
"I shall never forget that outpost as long as I live. We arrived there around
midnight and relieved a whole company of Singalese in command of a French
captain. I acted as interpreter for the young American lieutenant in charge.
After placing our men the medico and I decided on a dugout for a first aid right
in the village center evacuated by the Germans after holding it four years. The
French captain before leaving us gave us the pleasant information that the enemy
were only 8,000 yards away in the next hamlet. But they were nearer than that.
Some of the enemy were spending the night hidden in the dugout near ours. We
were in blissful ignorance of the fact and I gladly rolled up in blanket and sought
sleep on the hard cement floor of a German pillbox. The medico and four litter
bearers slept in the first aid station a few yards away.
"At 4.30 a. m. I awoke two of the litter bearers and ambulance men near me
and told them I heard German machine guns shooting very close and that bullets
were striking at the pillbox. We carefully struck a match, lit a bit of candle, hid
it in a corner and cautiously opened the slits in the wall. The boys, at first doubt-
ful, then believed I was right.
"I rushed to the first aid and found myself in a street battle before I realized
it. I shouted at the doctor to come out and see the 'movies,' not realizing that
the enemy was raiding us. The doctor, taking his time to get his boots, I glanced
over my shoulder just in time to get the surprise of my life. A Boche lieutenant
across the street was in the act of throwing a hand grenade at the doorway of the
aid station in which I was standing.
"With his arm upraised he suddenly fell on the spot, shot through the heart
by Lieut. Morris, who stood near me behind a tree, and was watching the perform-
ance. The scrap then became a free for all fight and of short duration. Our
little band awoke from their early dawn slumbers, had taken several prisoners and
killed about 20 right around yours truly and his first aid station.
"Two of our brave boys were killed and four slightly wounded.
"When I arrived with my little group at the village of W , where the
rest of the battalion was and the P. C., the colonel and major and men sur-
rounded me to get full details of the men's good work and our narrow escape. I
refused an ambulance ride and that night hiked again to another position with
the troops.
"The strain finally told on me as I was finally evacuated to the hospital and
had two Boche prisoners litter me into the hospital train."
Brief Summary of Holyoke in the Wars
/%>^ERHAPS any history of Holyoke in the great European war should contain
4rl ^ brief reference to the doings of Holyokers in previous struggles although,
•^[p of course, there was no Holyoke before 1850, the present Holyoke territory
then being included in West Springfield and Northampton ; the greater part
of the present Holyoke being the Third Parish of West Springfield, and the bal-
ance— the Smiths Ferry 'part — being under the jurisdiction of Northampton. For
this reason the record of Holyoke's war-like citizens would have to be located in
the town books of West Springfield and of the city up the river.
That Hob'okers were fighters way back in the 1700's is assured from what
has already been published from time to time. In Smiths Ferry we are told
Benjamin Wright settled in 1704 and on the Easthampton road near Mt. Tom
junction there were a half dozen families who worked with firearms always where
they could get at them and "Forted" together nights for protection against the
Indians. There seems no Holyoke records available of the list of men who took
part in the early colonial wars. Lieut. Joseph Morgan is said to have been
captured when Fort William Henry was taken by the French and Indians in 1757,
but how he escaped that fearful massacre, there has been nothing handed down
for the records.
There does not seem to have been compiled a list of men from Holyoke terri-
tory who took part in the Revolutionary war, or in the war of 1812, although there
were ancestors of present Holyokers in both of these struggles. Neither does
there seem to be a record of Holyokers who may have taken part in the Mexican
war. Perhaps as the city was getting ready to be founded at that time the resi-
dents were too busy to chase Mexicans. It is sure that early in the century
Holyoke had a martial spirit for Company D, "Holyoke's 0*wn," was not the first
militia company organized. The records show that when in 1829 a militia company
was organized, Holyoke residents were on hand and helped to officer the company.
This w'as a cavalry company of the First Brigade of the Fourth Division of the
State Militia and the organization was efifected April 20, 1829, and the muster rolls
signed October 6 of the same year. Of course Holyoke was a part of West
Springfield at that time but these names among the officers sound rather familiar :
Moses Loomis, Edwin H. Ball, Charles R. Ball. Among other Holyokers were
Eldbridge and Newbury Day. From that time until 1842, the residents of the
"Third Parish" seemed to have taken part in no struggles and lived a peaceful life.
In 1842 Dorr's rebellion took at least one Holyoker into a fight and it is pre-
sumed that the Mexican war may have drawn a few.
The Civil war, of course, took a large number of Holyokers and it is known
That at least one Holyoker was in the Seventh U. S. Cavalry, a part of which was
wiped out in Custer's fight at the Little Big Horn.
The Spanish war was the next struggle that called any great number of Hol-
yokers to the colors and Holyoke's part in this contest is given in Major W. J.
Crosier's book, giving a history of Company D in the struggle. From this war
until Company D was called to the Mexican border, any Holyoke war activity was
confined to Holyokers serving in the regular army, although there were Holyokers
374 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
identitied in llie lighting in the Philippines. From the ^^lexican 1)order Company D
went into the great European war and were joined by hundreds of other Holyokers
in the conflict..
Dorr's rebellion, in which one Holyoker took part, occurred in 1842, taking place
in Rhode Island and Dr. Elijah Lyon participated. Dr. Lyon, who for many years
resided on Pleasant street, was well known to many present-day Holyokers. At
the time of this little muss he was about 19 years of age and when the supporters
of Thomas Wilson Dorr's claim to the governorship of Rhode Island, started
recruiting in this section for the army which was to place Dorr in the guber-
natorial chair, Dr. Lyon was one of the recruits. Dr. Lyon used to recount his
experiences and said that he was chased and shot at in three states after the
retreat and certainly any record of Holyoke in the wars should include this.
To those who have never heard of Dorr's rebellion, a few words in explana-
tion may not be amiss.
Thomas Wilson D'orr was a reformer and started out to do away with the
unjust Rhode Island law which, at the time he ran for governor in 1843, only
allowed those to vote who owned $200 in real estate and even then the owner and
his oldest son were the only two in the family privileged to cast a ballot.
Dorr claimed that in the election of April 18, 1842, he was elected governor of the
state and started to form his government on May 3 of that year. In the mean-
time a re-election of Governor King had taken place, and his government was
also organized on that date. The suffragists, as Dorr's party was called, refused
to acknowledge the election of Governor King and, with trouble imminent, martial
law was declared. Dorr's party at once flew to arms and called for assistance
from the neighboring states. An attempt to capture the arsenal at Providence was
frustrated and later the forces of Dorr disintegrated and Dorr fled, to be captured
later, and was sentenced to life imprisonment for treason, but was pardoned about
1851. It was when the call for help from Massachusetts came that Holyoke stepped
into the war activities, for Dr. Lyon enlisted expecting to form one in a company
of 50, but two enlistments were all that were gained and the two were sent to
Providence, R. I., where they joined Dorr's forces which were much smaller than
the Holyoke man had been led to believe.
With about 300 others he marched on the Providence arsenal and, while accord-
ing to history there was no bloodshed, the doctor stated, when recalling the fight
a few years ago, that after the summons had been made on the arsenal to surrender
and the summons was refused, the forces were fired upon with cannon and two
or three men were killed. When the rebels tried to fire their cannon at the fort
they found that some traitors in the ranks had spiked the guns and, as it seemed
useless to face the artillery with rifles, they dispersed. When shortly afterward the
rebellion was broken for good the Holyoke part of the war started for home and
took refuge at Pomfret, Conn. Later he was chased out and finally captured, but
escaping from his captors made good his escape into Massachusetts. The doctor
always maintained that Dorr's case was a just one and used to point out that as
a result of the rebellion the laws which caused it were abated.
With no records of the Mexican war as far as Holyoke is concerned, the first
great struggle in which Holyoke took part, and this time as the Town of Holyoke.
was the Civil war. In this war Holyoke's record as a fighting community is one
of which to be proud and Holyokers were in practically every branch of the service.
Old residents of the city still recall the rallies held to promote enlistments and
the record of soldiers who volunteered and entered the service shows that these
rallies were not held in vain. The story of the Civil war has been often told and

it is not necessary to go further with it than to append the list of names of those
who went from Hoh'oke. There are yet in the city men living whose names are
on this list.

The War With Spa
in
From the Civil war Holyokers in any numbers turned no more to combat until
the v.ar againfi Spain for the lilieration of Cuba when Company D represented
the community, a city now, and went through the campaign.
According to the history of the company, written by Major W. J. Crosier, who
was captain of Company D during this service, the company left its armory in
the City Hall on May 3, 1898, for Framingham and they were mustered into the
United States service at 6 o'clock on the morning of May 10th. They were
ordered to strike camp on May 12th, to embark for the South, and at 9.15 that
night went on board the Steamer '"Plymouth," arriving in New York on the
morning following, where they were transferred to the "Saratoga" and later to
the "Vigilancia."
They remained at anchor in New York until the next day when rumors that
the Spanish fleet was off the coast caused a change in the plans of the War
Department and they were transferred to trains at Jersey City and sent south by
rail. On May 16th they arrived at Lakeland, Fla., where they remained until
the 30th and then were sent to Ybor City, Tampa, Fla. On June 9th orders
came from Division Headquarteis to strike camp, but the troops were not moved
until the next afternoon and they arrived at Port Tampa at S in the evening,
camping on the dock until morning, when the company was assigned to the
"Orizabab" with the 22nd U. S. Infantry and two batteries of the 4th Heavy
Artillery. The 13th of June the company was transferred to the "Knickerbocker"
and it was not until June 20th that they came in sight of Cuban soil and drifted
along the shore watching the transports and fleets. The shelling of the shore by
the fleet was watched with much interest by the Holyoke boys, who expected
every minute that orders would come to take boats for the shore.' The next
morning the orders to disembark came and the men landed at last upon the soil
of Cuba.
The regiment started for Siboney, where it was halted for rations. It was at
Siboney that the first firing was heard in the distance and seemed to be approach-
ing and it was learned that the "Rough Riders" were in a scrimmage. Soon a
horseman appeared crying out, "Second Massachusetts fall in. We are all cut to
pieces !"
The regiment started up the side of the mountain, in single file, the night being
pitch dark, and finally reached the battle ground of the "Rough Riders." Here
blanket rolls were strewn about and the bodies of those killed in the fight were
seen. Camp was made beside the "Rough Riders" and in the morning the regi-
ment was again on the move. On the morning of June 27th Companies D and C
were on outpost duty and when the regiment arrived at the assigned position.

ihey were in full view of the city of Santiago. They remained in this position
until the evening of the 30th, when the march was again taken up and about 10
o'clock halted in full view of Santiago. They camped for the night and at 4
o'clock on the morning of July 1st were awakened and started again on the march.
The cannon of Capron's battery began to be heard nearer and nearer. The trail
was left and the soldiers took to the field and a piece of woods between the tele-
phone line and the Santiago road and there formed their line. Company D was
detailed to proceed up the road as an advanced guard, with instructions to pro-
ceed as far as possible without getting in direct range of Capron's guns. Emerg-
ing from the thickets they found themselves in the open space facing El Caney and
directly in range with their entrenchments.
The enemy at once opened fire. The company continued up the road almost
under the fire of their guns, halting under the road embankments and Companies
L, E, M and G came up into position with them.
The wounded began to come down the road on the way to the hospital and
at this time the first death of a Company D boy occurred. Because of the use of
black powder, the smoke from which gave away the position of the company and
drew the fire of the enemy, orders were received to stop firing. Late in the after-
noon the fight at El Caney was over and details were sent out to care for the
wounded and bury the dead.
About 6 o'clock the start for San Juan was made and halted in such a way
as to place Company D on the old Spanish stone bridge, and the night was spent
there with artillery, ammunition wagons, supplies and troops fording the stream,
both above and below them. At daybreak, July 2d, the troops moved again and
went up over the hills and into the San Juan valley. Sharpshooters were busy,
and more Company D boys were hit. They went past the Sugar mill and forded
the San Juan river, the men of D Company being almost exhausted as they had
performed outpost duty for three days, after which followed the night march to
El Caney, the all day fight and the night march again to San Juan with its day's
work there. The morning of the 3d the men were awakened by heavy rifle fire,
the enemy attacking for the purpose of driving the United States forces from the
ground they had gained, but the attack was checked after about two hours firing.
The troops moved again and Company D found themselves on a hill over-
looking the city. Trenches were dug, only to have orders come to move and the
71st New York regiment took possession of the position and Company D had to
dig new trenches in another position. The company was ordered to do guard
duty on the railroad under the hill from the trench line. Later it was moved to
the right and was finally located on flat, swampy land facing Santiago and within
sight of the bay. More trenches were dug and the company occupied this position
until the time when the enemy surrendered. Tropical fever succeeded the dangers
of war and finally the company was embarked and sailed for the United States,
on their arrival going into a detention camp at Montauk Point. The suffering of
the men from fever and the blunders of the government at that time are still
remembered and it is useless to recount them. Eleven of the company gave their
lives and four were wounded.

The Mexican Border Trouble
Following the Spanish war no Holyoker was under fire until the Marines
landed at Vera Cruz, Mexico, April 21, 1914, and in this squabble, Holyoke was
represented. Lionel Spencer of 45 Nonotuck street was in the landing party and
laid in front of the college buildings on the square in that city and heard the
bullets whistle over his head. Had the vessels from the fleet waited a short time
longer before throwing shells into the building where the Mexicans were
entrenched, the landing party would have had a_slight chance of getting away
alive and one Holyoker would never have seen his home agahi. With the Marines
Spencer took part in clearing the city from snipers and on his return to Holyoke
later had manj- interesting stories to tell of his experiences.
This trouble having been settled Holyoke rested until June 19, 1916, when the
militia call was sounded on the City Hall bell for the mobilization of the militia.
There was a rush to enlist in Company D and, with ranks filled, the company
took train from Framingham on June 21, 1916. They were at camp only a short
time when they took troop trains for the Mexican border. It is noted that on
July 11, the company broke up a dance hall riot in Columbus, Ga. The company
did excellent service on the border, Lieut. Wallace Choquette of the company doing
service with the General Pershing expedition into Mexican territory. Their
service over, the company returned to Holyoke on October 15 and were given a
rousing reception and welcome by the Holyoke residents. Hoh'oke had no further
part in military doings of consequence until America entered into the great Euro-
pean war.

Tears has Holyoke High for her noble dead, pride in their glorious achieve-

that their land may enjoy freedom, greater for the honor of those who cross sea
and land to offer their lives for the ransom of their fellow men. The first to give
his life was the amiable and beloved Edward Welch, 1911, who succumbed to
pneumonia in a Texas camp. The list slowly grew until the counter drive which
stopped the German drive on Paris. In that period Kirkpatrick, Lambert, Thom-

West Street Grammar School Roll of Honor
These young American sailors and soldiers were at one time pupils in this
school. In their young manhood they responded to their Nation's call. They died
in the service of their country. They made the supreme sacrifice for the honor of
their country, for the ideals of humanity, for the principles of righteousness, for
the sacred right of all peoples to determine their own form of government, and for
the security of democratic institutions by peoples who have been so divinely blessed.
These heroes died for libertj^ civilization, Christianity, and Democracy. May
the supreme sacrifices of those noble young heroes and the great services of their
millions of living companions, secure forever to the generations yet unborn the
blessings of the ideals, the rights, the principles, and the institutions for which the
Allied Nations fought.
May we always cherish their memories, and may our successors find this leg-
acy, of preserving those heroes' memories, their noblest service.
May our Heavenly Father reward those young heroes for their noble sacrifice
in the hour of their greatest hope and ambition — precious youth.

Gen. Pershing^s Complete Story of Our Army
in France
From the Organization of the Expeditionary Force Until the Capture of Sedan.
When "We Had Cut the Enemy's Main Line of Communications
and Nothing but Surrender or an Armistice Could
Save His Army from Complete Disaster"
November 20, 1918.
My Dear Mr. Secretary :
In response to your request, I have the honor to submit this brief summary of
the organization and operation of the American Expeditionary Force from May
26, 1917, until the signing of the armistice November 11, 1918. Pursuant to your
instructions, immediately upon receiving my orders I selected a small staff and
proceeded to Europe in order to become familiar with conditions at the earliest
possible moment.
The warmth of our reception in England and France was only equalled by the
readiness of the Commanders in Chief of the veteran armies of the allies, and
their staffs, to place their experience at our disposal. In consultation with them
the m.ost effective means of co-operation of effort was considered. With the French
and British armies at their maximum strength and when all efforts to dispossess
the enemy from his firmly intrenched positions in Belgium and France, had failed,
it was necessary to plan for an American force adequate to turn the scale in
favor of the allies. Taking account of the strength of the Central Powers at that
time, the immensity of the problem which confronted us could hardly be over-
estimated. The first requisite being an organization that could give intelligent
direction to effort, the formation of a General Staff occupied my early attention.
GENERAL STAFF.
A well organized General Staff, through which the Commander exercises his
functions, is essential to a successful modern army. However capable our
division, our battalion, and our companies as such, success would be impossible
without thoroughly co-ordinated endeavor. A General Staff broadly organized and
trained for war had not hitherto existed in our army. Under the Commander
in Chief, this staff must carry out the policy and direct the details of administra-
tion, supply, preparation, and operations of the army as a whole, with all special
branches and bureaus subject to its control. As models to aid us we had the
veteran French General Staff and the experience of the British, who had similarly
formed an organization to meet the demands of a great army. By selecting from
each the features best adapted to our basic organization, and fortified by our
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 385
own early experience in the war, the development of our great General Staff system
was completed.
The General Staff is naturally divided into five groups, each with its chief,
who is an assistant to the Chief of the General Staff. G. 1 is in charge of organi-
zation and equipment of troops, replacements, tonnage, priority of overseas ship-
ment, the auxiliary welfare association, and cognate subjects; G. 2 has censorship,
enemy intelligence, gathering and disseminating information, preparation of maps
and all similar subjects; G. 3 is charged with all strategic studies and plans, move-
ment of troops, and the supervision of combat operations ; G. 4 co-ordinates
important questions of supply, construction, transport arrangements for combat,
and of the operations of the service of supply, and of hospitalization and the
evacuation of the sick and wounded ; G. 5 supervises the various schools and
has general direction and co-ordination of education and training.
The first Chief of Staff was Colonel (now Major General) James G. Harbord,
who was succeeded in March, 1918, by Major General James W. McAndrew. To
these officers to the Deputy Chief of Staff, and to the Assistant Chiefs of Staff,
who, as heads of sections, aided them, great credit is due for the results obtained,
not only in perfecting the General Staff organization, but in applying correct prin-
ciples to the multiplicity of ]iroblenis that have arisen.
ORGANIZATION AND TRAINING.
After a thorough consideration of allied organizations it was decided that our
combat division should consist of four regiments of infantry of 3,000 men, with
three battalions to re'giment and four companies of 250 men each to a battalion,
and of an artillery brigade of three regiments, a machine gun battalion, an engineer
regiment, a trench mortar battery, a signal battalion, wagon trains, and the head-
c[uarters staffs and military police. These, with medical and other units, made a
total of over 28,000 men, or practically double the size of a French or German
division. Each corps would normally consist of six divisions — four combat and
one depot and one replacement division — and also two regiments of cavalry, and
each army of from three to five corps. With four divisions fully trained, a corps
could take over an American sector with two divisions in line and two in reserve,
with the depot and replacement divisions prepared to fill the gaps in the ranks.
Our purpose was to prepare an integral American force which should be able
to take the offensive in every respect. Accordingly, the development of a self-
reliant infantry by thorough drill in the use of the rifle and in the tactics of open
warfare was always uppermost. The plan of training after arrival in France
allowed a division one month for acclimization and instruction in small unit? from
battalions down, a second month in quiet trench sectors by battalion, and third
month after it came out of the trenches when it should be trained as a complete
division in war of movement.
Very early a system of schools was outlined and started, which should have
the advantage of instruction by officers direct from the front. At the great school
center at Langres, one of the first to be organized, was the staff school, where
the principles of general staff work as laid down in our own organization, were
taught to carefully selected officers. Men in the ranks, who had shown qualities
of leadership, were sent to the school of candidates for commissions. A school
of the line taught younger officers the principles of leadership, tactics, and the
use of the different weapons. In the artillery school, at Saumur, young officers
were taught the fundamental principles of modern artillery; while at Issoudun an
immense plant was built for training cadets in aviation. These and other schools,
25
386 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
with their well-considered curriculums for training in every branch of our organi-
zation, were co-ordinated in a manner best to develop an efficient army out of
willing and industrious young men, many of whom had not before known even
the rudiments of military technique. Both Marshal Haig and General Petain
placed oflficers and men at our disposal for instructional purposes, and we are
deeply indebted for the opportunities given to profit by their veteran experience.
AMERICAN ZONE.
The eventual place the American army should take on the western front
was to a large extent influenced by the vital questions of communication and
supply. The northern ports of France were crowded by the British armies' ship-
ping and supplies, while the southern ports, though otherwise at our service, had
not adequate port facilities for our purposes, and these we should have to build.
The already overtaxed railway system behind the active front in Northern France
would not be available for us as lines of supply, and those leading from the
southern ports of Northeastern France would be unequal to our needs without
much new construction. Practically all warehouses, supply depots and regulating
station must be provided by fresh constructions. While France offered us such
material as she had to spare after a drain of three years enormous quantities of
material had to be brought across the Atlantic.
With such a problem any temporization or lack of definiteness in making plans
might cause failure even with victory within our grasp. Moreover, broad plans
commensurate with our national purpose and resources would bring conviction of
our power to every soldier in the front line, to the nations associated with us in
the war, and to the enemy. The tonnage for material for necessary construction
for the supply of an army of three and perhaps four million men would require
a mammoth program of shipbuilding at home, and miles of dock construction in
France, with a corresponding large project for additional railways and for storage
depots.
All these considerations led to the inevitable conclusion that if we were to
handle and supply the great forces deemed essential to win the war we must
utilize the southern ports of France — Bordeaux, La Pallice, St. Nazaire and Brest —
and the comparatively unused railway systems leading therefrom to the northeast.
Generally speaking, then, this would contemplate the use of our forces against
the enemy somewhere in that direction, but the great depots of supply must be
centrally located, preferably in the area included by Tours, Bourges and Chateau-
roux, so that our armies could be supplied with equal facility wherever they might
be serving on the western front.
GROWTH OF THE SERVICE OF SUPPLY.
To build up such a system there were talented men in the regular army, but
more experts were necessary than the army could furnish. Thanks to the
patriotic spirit of our people at home there came from civil life men trained for
every sort of work involved in building and managing the organization necessary
to handle and transport such an army and keep it supplied. With such assistance
the construction and general development of our plans have kept pace with the
growth of the forces, and the service of supply is now able to discharge from
ships and move 45,000 tons daily, besides transporting troops and material in the
conduct of active operations.
As to organization, all the administrative and supply services, except the
adjutant general's, inspector general's, and judge advocate general's depart-
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 387
ments which remain at general headquarters, have been transferred to the head-
quarters of the services of supplies at Tours under a commanding general respons-
ible to the Commander-in-Chief for supply of the armies. The chief quartermaster,
chief surgeon, chief signal officer, chief of ordnance, chief of air service, chief
of chemical warfare, the general purchasing agent in all that pertains to questions
of procurements and supply, the provost marshal general in the maintenance of
order in general, the director general of transportation in all that afifects such
matters, and the chief engineer in all matters of administration and supply, are
subordinate to the commanding general of the service of supply, who, assisted by
a staff especially organized for the purpose, is charged with the administrative
co-ordination of all these services.
The transportation department under the service of supply directs the operation,
maintenance and construction of railways, the operation of terminals, the unload-
ing of ships, and transportation of material to warehouses or to the front. Its
functions make necessary the most intimate relationship between our organization
and that of the French, with the practical result that our transportation depart-
ment has been able to improve materially the operations of railways generally.
Constantly laboring under a shortage of rolling stock, the transportation depart-
ment has nevertheless been able by efficient management to meet every emergency.
The Engineer Corps is charged with all construction, including light railways
and roads. It has planned and constructed the many projects required, the most
important of which are the new wharves at Bordeaux and Nantes, and the immense
storage depots at La Palice, Montoir and Gievres, besides innumerable hospitals
and barracks in various ports of France. These projects have all been carried on
by phases keeping pace with our needs. The Forestry Service, under the Engineer
Corps, has cut the greater part of the timber and railway ties required.
To meet the shortage of supplies from America, due to lack of shipping, the
representatives of the different supply departments were constantly in search of
available material and supplies in Europe. In order to co-ordinate these pur-
chases and to prevent competition between our departments a general purchasing
agency was created early in our experience to co-ordinate our purchases and, if
possible, induce our allies to apply the principle among the allied armies. While
there was no authority for the general use of appropriations, this was met by
grouping the purchasing representatives of the different departments under one
control, charged with the duty of consolidating requisitions and purchases. Our
efforts to extend the principle have been signally successful, and all purchases for
ihe allied armies are now on an equitable and co-operative basis. Indeed, it may
be said that the work of this bureau has been thoroughly efficient and businesslike.
ARTILLERY, AIRPLANES, AND TANKS.
Our entry into the war found us with few of the auxiliaries necessary for its
conduct in the modern sense. Among our most important deficiencies in material
were artillery, aviation and tanks. In order to meet our requirements as rapidly
as possible, we accepted the offer of the French government to provide us with
the necessary artillery equipment of seventy-fives, one fifty-five millimeter howitzers,
and one fifty-five G. P. F. guns, from their own factories for 30 divisions. The
wisdom of this course is fully demonstrated by the fact that although we soon
began the manufacture of these classes of guns at home, there were no guns
of the calibers mentioned manufactured in America on our front at the date the
armistice was signed. The only guns of these types produced at home thus far
received in France are 109 seventy-five millimeter guns.
388 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
In aviation we were in the same situation and here again the French govern-
ment came to our aid until our own aviation program should be under way.
We obtained from the French the necessary planes for training our personnel and
they have provided us with a total of 2,676 pursuit, observation and bombing planes.
The first airplanes received from home arrived in May, and altogether we have
received 1,379. The first American squadron completely equipped by American
production, including airplanes, crossed the German lines on August 7, 191S. As
to tanks we were also compelled to rely upon the French. Here, however, we
were less fortunate, for the reason that the French production could barely meet
the requirements of their own armies.
It should be fully realized that the French government has always taken
a most liberal attitude and has been most anxious to give us every possible
assistance in meeting our deficiencies in these as well as in other respects. Our
dependence upon France for artillery, aviation and tanks, was, of course, due to
the fact that our industries had not been exclusively devoted to military production.
All credit is due our own manufacturers for their efforts to meet our require-
ments as at the time the armistice was signed we were able to look forward to
(he early supply of practically all our necessities from our own factories.
The welfare of the troops touches my responsibility as commander in chief
to the mothers and fathers and kindred of the men who came to France in the
impressionable period of youth. They could not have the privilege accorded
European soldiers during their periods of visiting their families and renewing
their home ties. Fully realizing that the standard of conduct that should be
established for them must have a permanent influence in their lives and on the
character of their future citizenship, the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., Knights of
Columbus, the Salvation Army and the Jew'ish Welfare Board, as auxiliaries in
this work, were encouraged in every possible way. The fact that our soldiers,
in a land of different customs and language, have borne themselves in a manner
in keeping with the cause for which they fought, is due not only to the efforts in
their behalf, but more to other high ideals, their discipline and ther innate sense
of self-respect. It should be recorded, however, that the members of these welfare
societies have been untiring in their desire to be of real service to our officers
and men. The patriotic devotion of these representative men and women has
given a new significance to the Golden Rule and we owe to them a debt of grati-
tude that can never be repaid.
COMBAT OPERATIONS.
During our period of training in the trenches some of our divisions had
engaged the enemy in local combats, the most important of which was Seicheprey
by the 26th on April 20, in the Toul sector, but none had participated in action as
a unit. The 1st Division, which had passed through the preliminary stages of
training, had gone to the trenches for its first period of instruction at the end
of October, and by March 21, when the German offensive in Picardy began, we
had four divisions with experience in the trenches, all of which were equal to
any demands of battle action. The crisis which this offensive developed was such
that our occupation of an American sector must be postponed.
On March 28, I placed at the disposal of Marshal Foch, who had been
agreed upon as commander-in-chief of the allied armies, all of our forces to be
used as he might decide. At his request the 1st Division was transferred from
the Toul sector to a position in reserve at Chaumont en Vexin. As German
superiority in numbers required prompt action, an agreement was reached at the
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 389
Abbeville conference of the allied premiers and commanders, and myself on May 2
by which British shipping was to transport ten American divisions to the British
army area, where they were to be trained and equipped and additional British
shipping was to be provided for as many divisions as possible for use elsewhere.
On April 26, the 1st Division had gone into the line in the Montdidier salient
on the Picardy battlefront. Tactics had been suddenly revolutonized to those of
open warfare and our men, confident of the results of their training, were eager
for the test. On the morning of May 28 this division attacked the commanding
German positions in its front, taking with splendid dash the town of Cantigny and
all other objectives which were organized and held steadfastly against vicious
counter attacks and galling artillery fire. Although local, this brilliant action had
an electrical effect, as it demonstrated our fighting qualities under extreme battle
conditions, and also that the enemy's troops were not altogether invincible.
The Germans' Aisne offensive, which began on May 27, had advanced rapidly
toward the River Marne and Paris, and the allies faced a crisis equally as grave
as that of the Picardy offensive in March. Again every available man was placed
at Marshal Foch's disposal, and the 3d Division which had just come from its
preliminary training in the trenches, was hurried to the Marne. Its motorized
machine gun battalion preceded the other units and successfully held the bridge-
head at the Marne, opposite Chateau-Thierry. The 2d Division in reserve near
Montdidier, was sent by motor trucks and other available transport to check the
progress of the enemy toward Paris. The division attacked and retook the town
and railroad station at Bouresches and sturdily held its ground against the enemy's
best guard divisions. In the battle of Belleau Wood, which followed our men
proved their superiority and gained a strong tactical position, with far greater loss
to the enemy than to ourselves. On July 1 before the 2d was relieved, it captured
the village of Vaux with most splendid precision.
Meanwhile our 2d Corps, under Major General George W. Read, had been
organized for the command of our divisions with the British, which were held
back in training areas or assigned in second-line defenses. Five of the ten
divisions were withdrawn from the British area in June, three to relieve divisions
in Lorraine and in the Vosges and two to the Paris area to join the group of
American divisions which stood between the city and any further advance of the
enemy in that direction.
The great June-July troop movement from the States was well under way,
and, although these troops were to be given some preliminary training before
being put into action, their very presence warranted the use of all the older
divisions in the confidence that we did not lack reserves. Elements of the 42d
Division were in the line east of Rheims against the German offensive of July 15,
and held their ground unflinchingly. On the right flank of this offensive four
companies of the 28th Division were in position in face of the advancing waves of
the German infantry. The 3d Division was holdng the bank of the Marne from
the bend east of the mouth of the Surmelin to the west of Mezy, opposite Chateau-
Thierry, where a large force of German infantry sought to force a passage under
support of powerful artillery concentrations and under cover of smoke screens.
A single regiment of the 3d wrote one of the most brilliant pages in our military
annals on this occasion. It prevented the crossing at certain points on its front
while on either flank, the Germans, who had gained a footing, pressed forward.
Our men, firing in three directions, met the German attacks with counter-
attacks at critical points and succeeded in throwing two German divisions into
complete confrsion, capturing 600 prisoners.
390 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
The great force of the German Chateau-Thierry offensive estabhshed the
deep Marne saHent, but the enemy was taking chances, and the vuhierabihty of
this pocket to attack might be turned to his disadvantage. Seizing this oppor-
tunity to support my conviction, every division with any sort of training was
made available for use in a counter-offensive. The place of honor in the thrust
toward Soissons on July 18 was given to our 1st and 2d Divisions in company with
chosen French divisions. Without the usual brief warning of a preliminary bom-
bardment, the massed French and American artillery, firing by the map, laid
down its rolling barrage at dawn while the infantry began its charge. The
tactical handling of our troops under these trying conditions was excellent through-
out the action. The enemy brought up large numbers of reserves and made a
stubborn defense, both with machine guns and artillery, but through five days'
fighting the 1st Division continued to advance until it had gained the heights above
Soissons and captured the village of Berzy-le-Sec. The 2d Division took Beau
Repaire farm and Vierzy in a very rapid advance and reached a position in front
of Tigny at the end of its second day. These two divisions captured 7,000
prisoners and over 100 pieces of artillery.
The 26th Division, which, with a French division, was under command of
our 1st Corps, acted as a pivot of the movement toward Soissons. On the 18th
it took the village of Torcy while the 3d Division was crossing the Marne in
pursuit of the retiring enemy. The 26th attacked again on the 21st, and the enemy
withdrew past the Chateau-Thierry-Soissons road. The 3d Division, continuing its
progress, took the heights of Mont St. Pere and the villages of Charteves and
Jaulgonne in the face of both machine gun and artillery fire.
On the 24th, after the Germans had fallen back from Trugny and Epieds, our
42d Division, which had been brought over from the Champagne, relieved the
Twenty-sixth and, fighting its way through the Foret de Fere, overwhelmed the
nest of machine guns in its path. By the 27th it had reached the Ourcq, whence
the 3d and 4th Divisions were already advancing, while the French divisions with
which we were co-operating were moving forward at other points.
The 3d Division had made its advance into Roncheres wood on the 29th and
was relieved for rest by a brigade of the Thirty-second. The Forty-second and
Thirty-second undertook the task of conquering the heights beyond Clerges, the
Forty-second capturing Sergy and the Thirty-second capturing Hill 230, both
American divisions joining in the pursuit of the enemy to the Vesle, and thus
the operation of reducing the salient was finished. Meanwhile the Forty-second
was relieved by the Fourth at Chery-Chartreuve, and the Thirty-second by the
Twenty-eighth, while the 77th Division took up a position on the Vesle. The
operations of these divisions on the Vesle were under the 3d Corps. Major Gen-
eral Robert L. Bullard commanding.
BATTLE OF ST. MIHIEL.
I
With the reduction of the Marne salient, we could look forward to the con-
centration of our divisions in our own zone. In view of the forthcoming opera-
tion against the St. Mihiel salient, which had long been planned as our first offensive
action on a large scale, the First Army was organized on August 10 under my
personal command. While American units had held different divisional and corps
sectors along the western front, there had not been up to this time, for obvious
reasons, a distinct American sector; but, in view of the important parts the
American forces were now to play, it was necessary to take over a permanent
portion of the line. Accordingly, on August 30, the line beginning at Port sur
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 391
Seille, east of the Moselle and extending to the west through St. Mihiel, thence
north to a point opposite Verdun, was placed under my command. The American
sector was afterward extended across the Meuse to the western edge of the
Argonne Forest, and included the 2d Colonial French, which held the point of
the salient, and the 17th French Corps, which occupied the heights above Verdun.
The preparation for a complicated operation against the formidable defenses
in front of us included the assembling of divisions and of corps and army artillery
transport, aircraft, tanks, ambulances, the location of hospitals, and the molding
together of all of the elements of a great modern army with its own railheads,
supplied directly by our own Service of Supply. The concentration for this
operation, which was to be a surprise, involved the movement, mostly at night,
of approximately 600,000 troops, and required for its success the most careful
attention to every detail.
The French were generous in giving us assistance in corps and army artil-
lery, with its personnel, and we were confident from the start of our superiority
over the enemy in guns of all calibres. Our heavy guns werte able to reach Metz
and to interfere seriously with German rail movements. The French Independent
Air Force was placed under my command which, together with the British bomb-
ing squadrons and our air forces, gave us the largest assembly of aviation that
had even been engaged in one operation on the western front.
From Les Eparges around the nose of the salient at St. Mihiel to the Moselle
River the line was roughly forty miles long and situated on commanding ground
greatly strengthened by artificial defenses. Our 1st Corps (82d, 90th, 5th, and 2d
Divisions), under command of Major General Hunter Liggett, restrung its right
on Port-a-Mousson, with its left joining our 3d Corps (the 89th, 42d, and 1st
Divisions), under Major General Joseph T. Dickman, in line to Xivray, were to
swing toward Vigneulles on the pivot of the Moselle River for the initial assault.
From Xivray to Mouilly the 2d Colonial French Corps was in line in the center,
and our 5th Corps, under command of Major General George H. Cameron, with
our 26th Division and a French division at the western base of the salient, were
to attack three difficult hills— Les Eparges, Combres, and Aniaramthe. Our 1st
Corps had in reserve the 78th Division, our 4th Corps the 3d Division, and our
First Army the 35th and 91st Divisions, with the 80th and 33d available. It should
be understood that our corps organizations are very elastic, and that we have at
no time had permanent assignments of divisions to corps.
After four hours' artillery preparation, the seven American divisions in the
front line advanced at 5 a. m. on September 12, assisted by a limited number of
tanks manned partly by Americans and partly by French. These divisions, accom-
panied by groups of wire cutters and others armed with bangalore torpedoes, went
through the successive bands of barbed wire that protected the enemy's front line
and support trenches, in irresistible waves on schedule time, breaking dov?n all
defense of an enemy demoralized by the great volume of our artillery fire and our
sudden approach out of the fog.
Our 1st Corps advanced to Thiacourt, while our 4th Corps curved back to the
southwest through Nonsard. The 2d Colonial French Corps made the slight
advance required of it on very difficult ground, and the 5th Corps took its three
ridges and repulsed a counterattack. A rapid march brought reserve regiments of
a division of the 5th Corps into Vigneulles in the early morning, where it linked
up with patrols of our 4th Corps, closing the salient and forming a new line west
of Thiacourt to Vigneulles and beyond Fresnes-en-Woevre. At the cost of only
7,000 casualties, mostly light, we had taken 16,000 prisoners and 443 guns, a great
3i»2 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
(luantity of material, released the inhabitants of many villages from enemy domina-
tion, and established our lines in a position to threaten Metz. This signal success
of the American First Army in its first oflfensive was of prime importance. The
allies found they had a formidable army to aid them, and the enemy learned finally
that he had one to reckon with.
MEUSE-ARGONNE OFFENSIVE, FIRST PHASE.
On the day after we had taken the St. Mihiel salient, much of our corps
and army artillery which had operated at St. Mihiel, and our divisions in reserve
at other points, were already on the move toward the area back of the line
between the Meuse River and the western edge of the forest of Argonne. With
the exception of St. Mihiel, the old German front line from Switzerland to the
east of Rheims was still intact. In the general attack all along the line the opera-
tion assigned the American army as the hinge of this allied offensive was directed
toward the important railroad communications of the German armies through
Mezieres and Sedan. The enemy must hold fast to this part of his lines or the
withdrawal of his forces with four years' accumulation of plants and material
would be dangerously imperiled.
The German army had as yet shown no demoralization, and, while the mass
of its troops had sufifered in morale, its first-class divisions, and notably its
machine-gun defense, were . exhibiting remarkable tactical efficiency as well as
courage. The German General Staff was fully aware of the consequences of a
success on the Meuse-Argonne line. Certain that he would do everything in his
power to oppose us, the action was planned with as much secrecy as possible
and was undertaken with the determination to use all our divisions in forcing
decision. We expected to draw the best German divisions to our front and to
consume them while the enemy was held under grave apprehension lest our attack
should break his line, which it was our firm purpose to do.
Our right f^ank was protected by the Meuse, while our left embraced the
Argonne Forest, whose ravines, hills, and elaborate defense, screened by dense
thickets, had been generally considered impregnable. Our order of battle from
right to left was the 3d Corps from the Meuse to Melancourt, with the 33d, 80th
and 4th Divisions in line and the od Division as corps reserve ; the 5th Corps
from Melancourt to Vausuois, with 79th, 87th and 91st Divisions in line, and the
32d in corps reserve, and the 1st Corps, from Vauquois to Vienne le Chateau,
with 3.5th, 28th and 77th Divisions in line, and the 92d in corps reser've. The
army reserve consisted of the 1st, 29th and 82d Divisions.
On the night of September 25 our troops quietly took the place of the French
who thinly held the line in this sector which had long been inactive. In the
attack which began on the 2r)th we drove through the barbed wire entanglements
and the sea of shell craters across No Man's Land, mastering all the first-line
defenses. Continuing on the 27th and 28th against machine guns and artillery of
an increasing number of enemy reserve divisions, we penetrated to a depth of from
three to seven miles and took the village of Montfaucon and its commanding hill
and Exermont, Gercourt, Cuisy, Septsarges, Melancourt, Ivoiry, Epinonville, Char-
pentry, Very, and other villages. East of the Meuse one of our divisions, which
was with the 2d Colonial French Corps, captured Marcheville and Rieville, giving
further protection to the flank of our main body. We had taken 10,000 prisoners,
we had gained our point of forcing the battle into the open, and were prepared
for the enemy's reaction, which was bound to come, as he had good roads and
ample railroad facilities for bringing up his artillery and reserves.
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 393
In the chil! rain of dark nights our engineers had to build new roads across
spongy, shell-torn areas, repair broken roads beyond No Man's Land, and build
bridges. Onr gunners, with no thought of sleep, put their shoulders to wheels
and drag-ropes to bring their guns through the mire in support of the infantry
now under the increasing fire of the enemy's artillery. Our attack had taken
the enemy by surprise, but, quickly recovering himself, he began to fire counter-
attacks in strong force, supported by heavy bombardments, with large quantities
of gas. From September 28 until October 4 we maintained the offensive against
patches of woods defended by jnipers and continuous lines of machine guns, and
pushed forward our guns and transport, seizing strategical points in preparation
for fnrtlier attacks.
OTHER UNITS WITH ALLIES.
Other divisions attached to the allied armies were doing their part. It was
the fortune of our 2d Corps, composed of the 27th and 30th Divisions which had
remained with the British, to have a place of honor in co-operation with the
Australian Corps on September 29 and October 1 in the assault on the Hinden-
burg line, where the St. Quentin canal passes through a tunnel under a ridge.
The 30th Division speedily broke through the main line of defense for all its
objectives, while the 27th pushed on impetuously through the main line until some
of the elements reached Guoy. In the midst of the maze of trenches and shell
craters and under crossfire from machine guns the other elements fought des-
perately against odds. In this and in later actions, from October 6 to October 19,
our 2d Corps captured over 6,000 prisoners and advanced over 13 miles. The
spirit and aggressiveness of these divisions have been highly praised by the British
army commander under whom they served.
On October 2-9 our 2d and 36th Divisions were sent to assist the French in
an important attack against the old German positions before Rheims. The 2d
conquered the complicated defense works on their front against a persistent
defense worthy of the grimmest period of trench warfare and attacked the
strongly held wooded hill of Blanc Mont, which they captured in a second assault,
sweeping bver it with consummate dash and .=kill. This division then repulsed
strong counter-attacks before the village and cemetery of Ste. Etienne and took
the town, forcing the Germans to fall back from before Rheims and yield positions
they had held since September, 1914. On October 9 the 36th Division relieved
the 2d and in its first experience under fire withstood very severe artillery bom-
bardment and rapidly took up the pursuit of the enemy, now retiring behind the
Aisne.
MEUSE-ARGONNE OFFENSIVE, SECOND PHASE.
The allied progress elsewhere cheered the efforts of our men in this crucial
contest, as the German command threw in more and more first-class troops to
stop our advance. We made steady headway in the almost impenetrable and
strongly held Argonne Forest, for, despite this reinforcement, it was our army
that was doing the driving. Our aircraft was increasing in skill and numbers and
forcing the issue, and our infantry and artillery were improving rapidly with each
new experience. The replacements fresh from home were put into exhausted
divisions with little time for training, but they had the advantage of serving
beside men who knew their business and who had almost become veterans over
night. The enemy had taken every advantage of the terrain, which especially
394 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
favored the defense, by a prodigal use of machine guns manned by highly trained
veterans and by using his artillery at short ranges. In the face of such strong
frontal positions we should have been unable to accomplish any progress according
to previously accepted standards, but I had every confidence in our aggressive
tactics and the courage of our troops.
On October 4 the attack was renewed all along our front. The 3d Corps,
tilting to the left, followed the Brieulles Canal road ; our 5th Corps took Gesne,
while the 1st Corps advanced for over two miles along the irregular valley of
the Aire River and in the wooded hills of the Argonne that bordered the river,
used by the enemy with all his art and weapons of defense. This sort of fighting
continued against an enemy striving to hold every foot of ground and whose very
strong counter-attacks challenged us at every point. On the 7th the 1st Corps
captured Chatel-Chenery and continued along the river to Cornay. On the east
of Meuse sector one of the two divisions, co-operating with the French, captured
Consenvoye and the Haumont Woods. On the 9th the 5th Corps, in its progress
up the Aire, took Fleville, and the 3d Corps, which had continuous fighting against
odds, was working its way through Brieulles and Cunel. On the 10th we had
cleared the Argonne Forest of the enemy.
It was now necessary to constitute a second army, and on October 9 the
immediate command of the First Army was turned over to Lieut.-Gen. Hunter
Liggett. The command of the Second Army, whose divisions occupied a sector
in the Woevre, was given to Lieut.-Gen. Robert L. Bullard, who had been com-
mander of the 1st Division and then of the 3d Corps. Major-General Dickman
was transferred to the command of the 1st Corps, while the 5th Corps was
placed under Major-General Charles P. Summerall, who had recently commanded
the 1st Division. Major-General John L. Hines, who had gone rapidly up from
regimental to division commander, was assigned to the 3d Corps. These four
officers had been in France from the early days of the expedition and had learned
their lessons in the school of practical warfare.
Our constant pressure against the enemy brought day by day more prisoners,
mostly survivors from machine gun nests captured in fighting at close quarters.
On October 18 there was very fierce fighting in the Caures Woods east of the
Meuse and in the Ormont Woods. On the 14th the 1st Corps took St. Juvin and
the 5th Corps, in hand-to-hand encounters, entered the formidable Kriemhilde
line, where the enemy had hoped to check us indefinitely. Later the 5th Corps,
penetrated further the Kriemhilde line, and the 1st Corps took Champiganeulles and
the important town of Grandpre. Our dogged offensive was wearing down the
enemy, who continued desperately to throw his best troops against us. thus weak-
ening his line in front of our allies and making their advance less difficult.
DIVISIONS IN BELGIUM.
Meantime we were not only able to continue the battle, but our 37th and
91st Divisions were hastily withdrawn from our front and dispatched to help
the French army in Belgium. Detraining in the neghborhood of Ypres, these
divisions advanced by rapid stages to the fighting line and were assigned to
adjacent French corps. On October 31, in continuation of the Flanders offensive,
they attacked and methodically broke down all enemy resistance. On November 3,
the 37th had completed its mission in dividing the enemy across the Escaut River
and firmly established itself along the east bank included in the division zone of
action. By a clever flanking movement, troops of the 91st Division captured
Spitaals Bosschen, a difficult wood extending across the central part of the division
HoLYOKE In The Great "War. SOS-
sector, reached the Escaut and penetrated into the town of Audenarde. These
divisions received high commendation from their corps commanders for their dash
and energy.
MEUSE-ARGONNE, LAST PHASE.
On the 23d the 3d and 5th Corps pushed northward to the level of Bantheville.
While we continued to press forward and throw back the enemy's violent counter-
attacks with great loss to him, a regrouping of our forces was under way for the
final assault. Evidences of loss of morale by the enemy gave our men more
confidence in attack and more fortitude in enduring the fatigue of incessant effort
and the hardships of very inclement weather.
With comparatively well-rested divisions, the final advance in the Meuse-
Argonne front was begun on November 1. Our increased artillery force acquitted
itself magnificently in support of the advance and the enemy broke before the
determined infantry, which by its persistent fighting of the past weeks and the
dash of this attack, had overcome his will to resist. The 3d Corps took Ancre-
ville, Doulcon and Andevanne and the 5th Corps took Landres et St. Georges and
pressed through successive lines of resistance to Bayonville and Chennery. On the
2d, the 1st Corps joined in the movement, which now became an imipetuous
onslaught that could not be stayed.
On the 3d advance troops surged forward in pursuit, some by motor trucks
while the artillery pressed along the country roads close behind. The 1st Corps
reached Authe and Chatillon-Sur-Bar, the 5th Corps, Fosse and Nouart, and the
3d Corps, Halles, penetrating the enemy's line to a depth of 12 miles. Our large
caliber guns had advanced and were skilfully brought into position to fire upon
the important line at Montmedy, Longuyon and Conflans. Our 3d Corps crossed
the Meuse on the 5th and the other corps, in the full confidence that the day
was theirs, eagerly cleared the w^ay of machine guns as they swept northward,
maintaining complete co-ordination throughout. On the 6th, a division of the 1st
Corps reached a point on the Meuse opposite Sedan, 25 miles from the line of
departure. The strategical goal which was our highest hope was gained. We had
cut the enemy's main line of communications and nothing but surrender or an
armistice could save his army from complete disaster.
In all forty enemy divisions had been used against us in the Meuse-Argonne
battle. Between September 26 and November 6, we took 26,059 prisoners and
468 guns on this front. Our divisions engaged were the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th. 26th,
28th, 29th, 33d, 35th, 42d, 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, 82d, 89th, 90th and 91st. Many
of .our divisions remained in line for a length of time that required nerves of steel
while others were sent in again after only a few days' rest. The 1st, 5th, 26th,
42d, 77th, 80th, 89th and 90th were in the line twice. Although some of the
divisions were fighting their first battle they soon became equal to the best.
OPERATIONS EAST OF THE MEUSE.
On the three days preceding, November 10, the 3d, the 2d Colonials and the
17th French Corps fought a difficult struggle through the Meuse hills south of
Stenay and forced the enemy into the plain. Meanwhile my plans for further
use of the American forces contemplated an advance between the Meuse and the
Moselle in the direction of Longwy by the First Army, while at the same time
the Second Army should assume the offensive toward the rich coal fields of Briey.
These operations were to be followed by an offensive toward Chateau-Salins, east
396 HoLYOivE In The Great War.
of the Moselle thus isolating Metz. Accordingly attacks on the American front
had been ordered and that of the Second Army was in progress on the morning
of November 11, when instructions were received that hostilities should cease at
11 o'clock a. m.
At this moment the line of the American sector from right to left began at
Port-sur-Selle, thence across the Moselle to Vandieres and through the Woevre to
Bezonvaux in the foothills of the Meuse, thence along the foothills and through
the northern edge of the Woevre forests to the Meuse at Mouzay, thence along
the Meuse connecting with the French under Sedan.
RELATIONS WITH THE ALLIES.
Co-operation among the allies has at all times been most cordial. A far
greater effort has been put forth by the allied armies and staffs to assist us than
could have been expected. The French government and army have always stood
ready to furnish us with supplies, equipment, and transportation and to aid us
in every way. In the towns and hamlets wherever our troops have been stationed
or billeted the French people have everywhere received them more as relatives and
intimate friends than as soldiers of a foreign army. For these things words are
■quite inadequate to express our gratitude. There can be no doubt that the relations
growing out of our association here assure a permanent friendship between the
two peoples. Although we have not been so intimately associated with the people
of Great Britain, yet their troops and ours when thrown together have always
warmly fraternized. The reception of those of our forces who have passed through
England and of those who have been stationed there has always been enthusiastic.
Altogether it has been deeply impressed upon us that the ties of language and
blood bring the British and ourselves together completely and inseparably.
STRENGTH.
There are in Europe altogether, including a regiment and some sanitary units
with the Italian army and the organizations at Murmansk, also including those
enroute from the States, approximately 2,053,347 men, less our losses. Of this
total there are in France 1,338,169 combatant troops. Forty divisions have arrived,
of which the infantry personnel of ten have been used as replacements, leaving
thirty divisions now in France organized into three armies of three corps each.
The losses of the Americans up to November 18 are : Killed and wounded,
36,145; died of disease, 14,811; deaths unclassified, 2,204; wounded, 170,625; pris-
oners, 2,163 ; missing, 1,160. We have captured about 44,000 prisoners and 1,400
guns, howitzers, and trench mortars.
COMMENDATION.
The duties of the General Staff, as well as those of the army and corps staffs,
have been very ably performed. Especially is this true when we consider the new
and difficult problems with which they have been confronted. This body of officers,
both as individuals and as an organization, have, I believe, no superiors in pro-
fessional ability, in efficiency, or in loyalty.
Nothing that we have in France better reflects the efficiency and devotion to
duty of Americans in general than the Service of Supply, whose personnel is
thoroughly imbued with a patriotic desire to do its full duty. They have at all
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 397
times fully appreciated their responsibility to the rest of the army and the results
produced have been most gratifying.
Our Medical Corps is especially entitled to praise for the general effectiveness
of its work, both in hospital and at the front. Embracing men of high professional
attainments, and splendid women devoted to their calling and untiring in their
efforts, this department has made a new record for medical and sanitary proficiency.
The Quartermaster Department has had difficult and various tasks, but it has
more than met all demands that have been made upon it. Its management and
its personnel have been exceptionally efficient, and deserve every possible com-
mendation.
As to the more technical services-, the able personnel of the Ordnance Depart-
ment in France has splendidly fulfilled its functions, both in procurement and in
forwarding the immense quantities of ordnance required. The officers and men
and the young women of the Signal Corps have performed their duties with a
large conception of the problem, and with a devoted and patriotic spirit to which
the perfection of our communications daily testifies. While the Engineer Corps
has been referred to in another part of this report, it should be further stated that
the \\ork has required large vision and high professional skill, and great credit
IS due to their personnel for the high proficiency that they have constantly main-
tained.
Our aviators have no equals in daring or in fighting ability, and have left
a record of courageous deeds that will ever remain a brilliant page in the annals
of our army. While the Tank Corps has had limited opportunities, its personnel
has responded gallantly on every possible occasion, and has shown courage of the
highest order.
The Adjutant General's Department has been directed with a systematic thor-
oughness and excellence that surpassed any previous work of its kind. The
Inspector General's Department has risen to the highest standards, and throughout
has ably assisted commanders in the enforcement of discipline. The able per-
sonnel of the Judge Advocate General's Department has solved with judgment and
wisdom the multitude of difficult legal problems, many of them involving questions
of great international importance.
It would be impossible in this brief preliminary report to do justice to the
personnel of all the different branches of this organization, which I shall cover in
detail in a later report.
As to the Americans in Europe not in the military service, it is the greatest
pleasure to say that, both in official and in private Ife, they are intensely patriotic
and loyal, and have been invariably sympathetic and helpful to the army.
Finally, I pay the supreme tribute to our officers and soldiers of the line.
When I think of their heroism, their patience under hardships, their unflinching
spirit of offensive action, I am tilled with emotion which I am unable to express.
Their deeds are immortal, and they have earned the eternal gratitude of our
country.
I am, Mr. Secretary, very respectfully,
JOHN J. PERSHING,
General Commander-in-Chief, American Expeditionary Forces.
To the Secretary of War.
Yankee Division Has Its Final Review
CAMP DEVENS, April 22, 1919.— While upward of 250,000 persons watched
and wept and applauded, the Yankee Division of New England today "passed out"
in a blaze of splendor and glory that will live forever in the memory of those
who saw the final official military gathering of one of the finest fighting aggrega-
tions that ever represented a great country in battle.
Perhaps the interest of the people of New England in the 26th Division will
Teach its zenith Friday, April 25th, when the division marches through the streets of
Boston, just before its members return to civilian life again; but today was the
biggest day ever in the history of this cantonment, and certainly the biggest day
in the history of the Division up to the present.
It was a day with two main features : One, the most impressive, beautiful,
almost sacred military ceremonies ever before held on New England soil, and the
other, the gathering together of a quarter million people in a bare, out-of-the-way
spot in order to do honor to some 20,000 of their flesh and blood who have fought
and won, that liberty shall not perish from the earth.
A SEA OF STEEL.
From hilltops, from rooftops, from telegraph poles and trees, and by straining
to see over the shoulders of those in front of them, the New Englanders who
gathered here today looked out over a sea of gleaming bayonets and steel helmets
and saw every flag in the Yankee Division decorated with gay streamers that
proclaim their participation in the hardest of all the closing fights of the great
world war.
They saw these standards massed together in a blaze of splendor for the
first time in the history of the Division, and a Major General of the United States
Army proudly attached the battle streamers to each gleaming staff, while the
massed bands of the whole Division — some 250 strong — sent triumphant martial
music out across the swarming fields, and New England folk lifted their voices
in proud acclaim.
In the first place, it was a day made to order — bright, clear, warm and very
little wind — which made it decidedly more comfortable for those thousands who
were lined up anywhere from 15 to 40 deep all around the whole vast expanse of
that parade ground. When a brisk wind sweeps across that expanse it carries
before it clouds of blinding dust and sand.
EVERYTHING ON TIME.
Like most military ceremonies, everything ran smoothly and within a few
seconds of scheduled time. The Yankee Division had been ordered to be massed
in their proper formation on the parade ground promptly at 1.45. They were there
and ready on the minute. The ceremony of decorating the colors of the various
regiments and separate organizations was planned to start at 2 sharp and it was
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 399
just that hour when the helmeted trumpeter who followed Major General Harry
C. Hale throughout the afternoon blew "attention."
Sweet and clear the silvery notes of that trumpet carried across the field
and reechoed through the swarming hilltops. A hush descended on the assembled
thousands. The Governors of the six New England States, accompanied by their
staffs, stood in a group with Major General Clarence R. Edwards, former com-
mander of the Yankee Division; Major General Henry P. McCain, commander of
this camp; Major General Harry C. Hale, present commander of the division,
accompanied by Lieut. Col. Charles A. Stevens, division adjutant, and Major
Emerson G. Taylor, acting chief of staff.
Suddenly there was a crash of music from that huge band which was massed
in the extreme corner of the parade ground, opposite the division officers' club,
and clatter of applause arose from the spectators as the 12 flags of the division
were seen moving forward.
Each flag, besides its color guard, was escorted by the regimental or unit
commander. There were the blue flags of the four infantry regiments, accom-
panied by the National colors, and the red flags of the artillery regiments and
engineers, besides the flags of machine-gun battalions and trains — just 12 in all.
FLAGLESS NOT FORGOTTEN.
Slowly, it seemed, they moved along the entire front of the division until
they reached the central point. Then, turning, the 12 parties marched side by
side up to the reviewing stand. There they halted and dipped their colors.
Those who saw it will never forget the dazzling splendor of these silken
banners as they flung back the radiance of the blazing sun poured upon them.
Then General Hale stepped forward. He was followed by Major Taylor and
Colonel Stevens, the former carrying a copy of the order from the War Depart-
ment to decorate the flags, and the latter the streamers that were soon to be
attached to the flags.
Speaking clearly and distinctly to the commanders of the units whose colors
were before him. General Hale explained the significance of this ceremony. He
said that these battle ribbons were only temporary decorations. They are to be
used in lieu of the silver bands that will later be attached to each flagstaff.
General Hale explained that he was ordered to decorate each of the 12 flags
before him with streamers bearing the names of the six big battles in which the
Yankee Division participated. He named each of the units in turn and spoke
briefly of their part in these battles, which cover the entire period from the time
the division first entered the line until the armistice.
"But," concluded General Hale, "in this proud moment let us not forget the
other organizations who have no flags to decorate, but who bore their equal share
in all of the engagements in which the division participated ; and let us remember
that though they have no flags to which streamers may be attached, this fact does
not in the slightest detract from the value of their service or their valor."
Then one by one he named these units who have no flags, from the head-
quarters troop dov/n to the trains and military police.
102D FIRST DECORATED.
As General Hale finished speaking Major Taylor read aloud from General
Order No. 28, which provides for the decorations of the flags by order of the
Commander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces. Clearly and dis-
400 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
tinctly he repeated the names of the battles that have become almost household
words ill the homes of New England: Chemin des Dames, Toul, the Aisne-Marne,
St. Alihiel. Troyon and the Meuse-Argonne. And as each historic name was heard,
applause burst from the spectators again.
Then the part}' moved forward to the first flag, that of the ]02d Infantry. The
tip of the stafif dipped low and General Hale took a cluster of blue silken streamers
handed to him by Colonel Stevens and quickly attached it to the end of the staff.
Then came the flag of the Boston regiment — Colonel Edward L. Logan's 101st
Infantry. As the battle streamers were attached to this flag the applause
exceeded anything that had been heard before.
Batteries of motion picture cameras and newspaper photographers followed
General Hale and his stafif right down the line, taking pictures of the decoration
of every flag. The army photographers were on the job, too, making official films
of the ceremony that will be stored away as records of the event, to be cherished
through the coming years.
As the last flag was decorated the band struck into "The Star Spangled
Banner." If there are any who for a moment doubt that Americans love and
nonor their country and their flag, it were a pity that they were not present at
ihat moment. Every male civilian's hat was off and every officer and man was
standing rigidly at salute.
Their eyes lifted and fixed on the glittering folds of this starry banner for
which these men before them liad offered their lives. The air was vibrant with
feeling, and many a mother in that vast crowd sobbed softly, while reluctant tears
forced their way from more than one man's eyes.
It was one of the most impressive military ceremonies the majority of the
officers here have ever seen. They so declared it. And there are abundant cere-
monies of beauty in this army of ours.
INDIVIDUAL HEROES NEXT.
Then came the decoration of off.cers and men of the division whose valorous
deeds had not yet been officially recognized by the reward of crosses. Through
the ceremony of decorating the colors these officers and men had stood in a long
line behind the standards and the color guards.
At the word of command they split, half marching to the right and the other
half to the left. At each end of the long line of color bearers they turned again,
coming around in front of the flags, the two parties joining in a single line again
in front of their division commander.
But before these men received their decorations there was a sadder core-
mony to be performed. From the group of distinguished statesmen and soldiers
who were standing together at the reviewing point was conducted a man well
past middle age, dressed entirely in black. He was just a plain, every-day sort of
man, his shoulders slightly stooped with toil, his hands hardened by honest work.
PERKINS' FEAT WELL REMEMBERED.
And again a hush fell upon this great multitude of people. They didn't have
to be told who he was. They had read of the deeds of his son, Private 1st class
Michael J. Perkins of Company D, 101st Infantry, 247 E street. South Boston.
They knew how this lad on the 27th of October, last year, at Bellieu Bois, France,
had shown "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity, above and beyond the call of
duty."
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 401
They had. read of how, when his platoon was hard pressed by the enemy, who
were casting grenades at them from a concrete machine gun nest, Private Michael
Perkins had voluntarily crawled forth, armed only with a grenade and a trench
knife, until he had reached the rear of the nest, and how, awaiting his opportunity,
he had cast his grenade into the nest and blown out the door, following this act
up by casting himself into the midst of the Germans, killing and wounding several
of them and taking about 25 of them prisoners.
They knew also, that while being taken to a hospital in an ambulance to have
his wound dressed, this lad was instantly killed when a German shell struck and
completely demolished the ambulance in which he was riding.
All this they knew, and that was why, as the father of this boy came slowly
forward to receive for his dead son the highest award it is possible for the United
States Government to bestow— the Congressional Medal of Honor— their hearts
went out to him in sympathy.
As he was presented to Major General Hale Mr. Perkins bared his head. The
General took him by the hand and in a low voice told him how proud the people
of this Nation and the men of the Yankee Division were over the deed of his son.
And as the old man's face quivered with emotion, even as his eyes gleamed with
pride, General Hale pinned to the left breast of his coat in the name of the Congress
of the United States the gleaming medal with its blue ribbon and 13 white stars.
Those who saw that pathetic little ceremony will never forget it. It brought
forth more tears, though they were accompanied by ringing applause. Then Mr.
Perkins accompanied the General and his staff as they went farther on the field
to decorate the officers and men who were standing rigidly at attention.
FORTY-EIGHT OTHERS DECORATED.
There were 48 of these officers and men to be decorated. Major General Hale
decorated half of them and Major General Edwards the other half. It had been
previously arranged that General Hale should confer the decorations that were
awarded after General Edwards gave up command of the division, and that General
Edwards should decorate those whose decorations had been awarded while he was
still in command, and it worked out so that there were 24 in each group.
As General Hale paused before each man, Major Taylor read aloud the citation
that accompanied the decoration. As he finished Colonel Stevens handed the
medal to the General, who pinned it to the coat of the man he was decorating and
shook him warmly by the hand.
Hundreds of spectators noticed the same thing about these men who received
decorations today. It seemed as though about half of them had been decorated
before. Several officers and men who received the Distinguished Service Cross
today were already wearing a Croix de Guerre on their coats, and a number who
received the Croix de Guerre already had a Distinguished Service Cross.
As each man received his decoration the spectators applauded. They were too
far away to hear the citations as they were read, but they knew that each of these
men who received from General Hale a war medal had done something out of the
ordinary to merit it.
GENERAL EDWARDS' TURN NOW.
Half way down this line of men General Hale stopped. He had decorated 24
of the men. Turning toward the reviewing party he motioned to General Edwards.
What a roar of welcome went up as this graj^-haired old warrior stepped for-
402 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
ward ! The former Y-D commander's heart was pretty full as he faced those men
who once were his and who learned to love and respect him on the blood-drenched
soil of France, amid the stress and strife of battle. He thanked General Hale for
asking him to present part of the decorations to the men he formerly commanded.
Then he turned to the men before him.
'T am given a great honor in being asked to confer these decorations on you,"
said General Edwards. "I have always called you a stout-hearted lot of lads. It
makes my heart pulsate with pride to be with you today.
"We know that the deeds of those of you who have been selected for these
honors are known. We also know that there are many of your fellows whose gallant
deeds have escaped notice. It will make me very happy to see decorations awarded
to all those whose deeds can be learned.
"The War Department allows five years for the recording of acts of bravery,
when justice can be done according to the facts that come tp light afterward. If
any of you men know of gallant deeds which reflect honor on your fellows, send
the facts to me and I shall be happy to make report on them."
CROSvS OF W^'\R FOR GENERAL COLE.
Then General Edwards looked for a moment out over that mass of gleaming
bayonets and helmeted men. As he started to confer the decorations, he said :
"Men, I congratulate you."
The first decoration General Edwards conferred was a French Croix de Guerre.
He pinned it on the breast of Brig.-Gen. Charles H. Cole, the only brigade com-
mander to start out with the Yankee Division and to return still commanding his
brigade.
As the two Generals clasped hands they looked for a moment into each other's
eyes. And there was pride in the eyes of each, as well as understanding.
The Governors of the six New England states had followed the generals
through the entire ceremony, and they shook hands with each man as he received
his medal. The governors were proud of these New Englanders, of course, but
their pride was as nothing to that of the fathers and mothers who were standing
in the crowds, straining their eyes to catch every movement of their dear ones.
Following the ceremony of presenting the decorations, and while the big band
played again, the colors and the decorated men returned to their posts with the
main body of the division. It had been planned to have the presentation of these
decorations take just an hour, and that was exactly what it took, or within two
minutes of that time.
100,000 ON HAND BY NOON.
But no hour ever passed more quickly, even for these spectators who were
standing still beneath the blazing sun or for those who were clinging to the roofs
of buildings on all sides of the parade ground. Most of them had their troubles
in even reaching the camp at all. Perhaps 100,000 of them had reached camp by
noon and had seized what they believed to be the vantage points from which to
watch the exercises.
Those who came later than that hour were thankful and considered themselves
lucky that they reached camp at all. For the entire road from Ayer Village to
the main gate of the camp was choked with automobiles. They even spread over
the car tracks, which run beside the road, and this consequently meant that the
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 403
trolley cars were tied up, too, so that the quickest way to reach the camp was to
walk across the fields. And many did so.
When all was ready for the exercises to begin — and that was when the Governor's
automobile rolled onto the field — Barlow's Hill, beside the engineer area, was com-
pletely hidden from view by the mass of people who had taken positions on it.
No roof within sight was without its load of humanity. The division's officers'
club, from chimneys to porch, was literally buried in people.
And it was admitted that those who were several hundred yards away from
the field, and could see at all, secured a much more satisfactory view than those
who were in the front row of spectators that lined the field.
As the colors took up their positions in their units and the officers and men'
had taken their proper stations. General Hale and his staff mounted their horses and
galloped out in front of the division.
As they took their posts the general spoke to the trumpeter. "Present arm<"
was the call that went floating out from the bell of the bugle. In a trice the com-
mand was executed.
The bayonets cast back the glint of the sun. Twenty thousand fighting men
stood like statues. General Hale snapped his hand up to his helmet in salute,
facing the governors who had taken their positions at the reviewing point. Thus
was the Yankee Division presented to the people of New England. And the band
crashed forth in triumph once more. It was only another of the many dramatic
moments that filled the day.
Then called the division to "order arms" again. General Hale and his staff
galloped in to the reviewing stand and eight automobiles, each flying the flag of one
of the New England states, rolled onto the field.
Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts and his staff entered the first car.
Car No. 2 bore Governor Marcus H. Holcomb of Connecticut and his staff.
The third car took Governor John H. Bartlett of New Hampshire and his staff;
the fourth. Governor R. Livingston Beeckman of Rhode Island and his staff; the
fifth. Governor Percival W. Clement of Vermont and staff, and the sixth, Governor
Carl E. Milliken of Maine and staff. General Edwards and his staff entered the
seventh car and in the eighth were Mrs. Edwards and Dr. and Mrs. Dane.
Applause greeted each governor as he took his seat and his car rolled away
behind the division commander and his officers, but in a few moments it was the
governors themselves who were applauding. Eor their cars were going around the
Yankee Division, and they couldn't help but show their pride in these fighting
veterans.
As the cars returned to the reviewing stand again and the governors alighted,
it was just 3.20. They lined up with Governor Coolidge on the right. The band
blared again as General Hale rode out and took his place at the head of the Yankee
Division, and the march past started.
Up to this time the military police of the Yankee Division, assisted by the camp
provost guard, had effectively held the crowd in check behind the ropes. But as
that band of 250 pieces came marching down the field and General Hale and his
staff swung in behind the governors, dismounted and took their places, the crowd
near the reviewing stand burst all bounds, and there was no power on that field,
unless it was the division itself, could hold them.
For the Yankee Division was coming, its band was blaring. Bayonets were
flashing and the dust began to rise from the tramp of marching feet. These fighters
of whom they were so proud were on their way. How could they remain behind
404 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
mere ropes? They wanted to get close; dose enough to see the boys' faces and
see every last detail of their equipment.
So men and women and children leaped nimbly over the ropes, or slipped under
them, and they swarmed out onto the field until they were right on a line with
General Hale and the governors. And there they stayed, cheering and applauding
as each regiment went by.
The 102d Infantry led the march down the field, passing, as did every other
unit, in a column of battalions. The 101st followed it. And what a reception
Colonel "Eddie" Logan got as he led his regiment down the field. It was certainly
a proud day for Boston, as well as for the rest of New England.
The band played continuously for 40 minutes, changing from one march to
another as each regiment came up. And as each of the colors dipped while pass-
ing the . reviewing stand, the trumpeters at the rear of the band proper sent the
shrill notes of salute soaring into the air. They played "Our Director" as Colonel
Logan's regiment passed, and "The National Emblem" as the 101st Field Artillery
passed.
The artillery brigade, with the exception of small detachments here and there,
marched without arms. Their guns, which thundered death and destruction into
the ranks of the Hun, are still in France. They carried only their packs and each
battery its guidon. But these scarlet guidons went a long way in making up for
the lack of arms, for inscribed brilliantly on each red field is the battery letter
and the number of the regiment. Thus were the spectators able to identify each
battery as it passed.
The last unit passed and the band swung in behind it and marched from the
field just at 4 o'clock. There wasn't the slightest bit of confusion. Everything
worked like a well-oiled machine, and the camp swallowed the thousands of men
as quickly as they passed, for about 100 yards past the reviewing stand each outfit
broke into double time and in that way avoided any piling up.
As the last unit passed, the governors turned to Major General Hale and
congratulated him on the fine showing of the division. The chief executives of
each state had nothing but the highest praise for the whole of the Yankee Division,
and they didn't hesitate about saying so. General McHale, when asked for his
opinion, would only remark that he was gratified at the showing the Y-D had made.
But there was a look in his eye that was little short of sheer pride, and with reason.
Impromptu receptions were held right on the field after the review was over.
Each governor found a host of friends on hand to greet him, among them many
men prominent in public affairs. The entire official party went right back to
division headquarters following the review and there they said goodbye to Generals
Hale, Edwards and McCain and quickly departed.
The thousands of spectators poured in what seemed to be a never ending
stream through both gates of the camp, and there was a repetition of the traffic
jam of the morning. The military police handled the thousands w^ho thronged the
roads -in a very capable manner, however, and it was reported from the base hos-
pital that not a single case of accident had been reported. Traffic men on the main
gate estimated that there were close to 40,000 automobiles in camp, which breaks
all records ever set here, even when the camp first opened.
So the final official review of the Yankee Division was an unqualified success,
in every sense of the word, and both the officers and men, as well as the spec-
tators, tired as they were, had no regrets and nothing but a feeling of supreme
satisfaction over the entire dav.
"Death Platoon"
A THRILLING story of the "death platoon,"' the heroes of which received
after the war justly deserved recognition, was composed of the first platoon
of A Co., 104th Infantry, of Worcester. There isn't much known about the
platoon, for the simple reason that there is no one left to tell the whole
story. Parts of the tale will be known because there are some few soldiers who
witnessed the work of the platoon just before they passed from the sight of the
remainder of the American attacking party. The platoon got its name because the
nine members which composed it never returned to their outfits alive, all having
been killed by German shell fire.
The members of A Co., along with D Co., "Holyoke's Own," and E Co. of
the 104th Regiment, started out on the morning of October 16, 1918. The story of
what followed and the fate of the "death platoon," was told when the division
returned by Corp. Edwin Moore, a Worcester boy, who participated in the attack
and had his eyes glued on the nine m^n until they had passed out of sight never
to return.
"I shall never forget that day as long as I live, for it was one of the worst
attacks in which A Co. figured," said Corp. Moore. "We started out at 5 o'clock in
the morning, and it was one of the worst possible mornings. If we were to look for
worse weather I don't believe we could have found it.
"A Co. was in the command of Lieut. Chester R. Howard. Before I go on
with my story, I want to say a few words about this same Lieut. Howard, because
without people knowing the soldier, they cannot appreciate his supreme heroism.
Lieut. Howard was only 23 years old. He was tall, well-built and fine looking.
He was one of the most impressive looking officers in all France.
"And Lieut. Howard was all man. He was a westerner, coming from Man-
hattan, Kan., and had attended college at the University of Michigan. While at
the Michigan institution he won renown as a football player.
"Lieut. Howard joined the company while we were fighting in the Chemin des
Dames sector, or a little while before, I think. And how that boy stuck with us,
all through thick and thin. He was a most wonderful leader and a most daring
officer. Why, every time Lieut. Howard would go out in the direction of the
Boche, it would seem as though he went with his head up in the air, and with
his chest thrown out, in open defiance of the Huns. And I truly guess that's
about the way he felt towards the Germans.
"Lieut. Howard was first recognized by the government, for which he gave
up his young and fine life, when he was awarded a Distinguished Service Cross for
bravery at Chateau-Thierry. This was for sticking to his post, after a machine
gun bullet had gone through his left thigh.
"Well, getting back to the story of the 'Death Platoon,' finds Lieut. Howard
at the head of A Co. We started out early and fought and fought for two long
hours, with the first platoon, under the command of Lieut. Howard, away ahead of
the rest. Our objective was a woods known as Haumont woods. The story of
406 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
the French tanks and the llaumont woods attack is quite well known around
Worcester, because there were a few Worcester boys in the attacking party.
"There were three companies of infantry supported by 20 French tanks which
made the attack. A Co.'s objective was the right piece of the woods. D Co. was
to advance toward the center of the woods, while E Co. advanced toward the left
fringe of the woods. Ten tanks were to go on either side and attempt to get to
the rear of the woods. The tanks, if they gained this position, were to crash
through from the rear and drive the Huns out into the open, where we would meet
them and give them all that was coming to them, the same kind of a beating as
they suffered at Chateau-Thierry, when we fought with them in open battle.
"But the tanks failed, and they failed miserably. And returned Worcester
boys who were there will say so, and what a tragedy it proved for us. Instead
of going in the direction they were supposed, the tanks started for the center of
the woods. One of the tanks got stuck in a shell hole, and then the whole 20
seemed to get stuck at the same time. And the Frenchmen in charge of the tanks
were also stuck.
"The Frenchmen didn't stick with us. They just beat it back to the safest spot
they could find and left us kids to our fate. And there we were in the open, living
targets to the nests of machine guns. We couldn't possibly last. The boys were
being slaughtered mercilessly and so we had to quit and retire at 7 o'clock. That
is, most of the attacking party retired.
"But not the death platoon. No, sir, eot with Lieut. Howard at »the head of
that platoon. That boy didn't know what it was to quit up to that time, and he
had been through some pretty hot skirmishes, so he wasn't going to quit then.
Lieut. Howard and the nine men of the first platoon who followed him, never quit
until their bodies were cold in death.
"I was able to see a little more than some of the other fellows, because I lay
there waiting for dark until I could crawl back to the company. I fell in a shell
hole and was up to my waist in water for about 10 hours. If they ever sent over
gas I surely would have kicked in, for my mask was soaking wet and incapable
of benefiting me if the Huns ever sent over a gas barrage.
"The last I saw of that gang of one officer and nine men, was when they
were going into that end of the woods, which had been their objective. That was
all we heard of them for three weeks.
"We heard no more until November 9. From letters we received from home,
the information given out from Washington was that these nine soldiers were
missing in action. That was all we knew. We didn't know whether or not they
were dead, dying from wounds or loss of food, or of disease, or whether they
had been taken prisoners by the Germans. But we found out November 9.
"It is a day which will always remain vivid in my life. We started another
drive for the woods, and maybe we didn't drive some. Then we came to that part
of the woods which had been the objective of the first platoon. And there we
found those boys. They had gained their objective. How they did it we never
were able to fathom. But they made it and held it as long as they could.
"It was apparent that the soldiers had dug themselves in. We found poor
old Lieut. Howard with the top of his head blown off. It was a terrible sight
for us boys, but it was just a part of the more terrible game we were playing.
We buried them right on the spot they had taken at such great cost.
"The fellows after arriving there, must have found it impossible to make the
objective defensible and so had dug themselves into foxholes, or had slipped into
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 407
shell holes or had quickly thrown up entrenchments. It appeared to us that Lieut.
Howard had been in the act of bandaging up his leg when he was hit by the shell
that took his life.
"And the Huns had not been content to just kill the soldiers. They also had
to plunder. They even took the shoes from the feet of the brave boys. Lieut.
Howard's Distinguished Service Cross, which had been awarded him for bravery
in action at Chateau-Thierry, had been stolen.
"And what a burial we gave these boys. Their bodies were partially preserved.
We were able to recognize all. Colonel B. F. Cheatham, commander of the 104th
Regiment, has recommended posthumous awards of the Distinguished Service Cross
to the nine men, while Lieut. Howard has been recommended for the Congressional
Medal of Honor."
The soldiers with the 1st platoon who were with Lieut. Howard and who were
killed while holding the objective were: Priv. John J. O'Keefe, Cambridge; Priv.
Franklin Whitman, Williamsport, Pa.; Priv. Naramo Demartino, Terarno, Italy;
Priv. Fred A. Holmes, South Minneapolis; Priv. John D. Noughton, Chicago;
Priv. John D. Jens, Milwaukee, Miss.: Priv. Earl B. Hall, Mayville, Cal. ; Priv.
Seymour L. Schwartz, Chicago, and Priv. Albert Boisnert of Lowell, formerly of
Worcester.
They Sleep In France
They sleep in peace, those boys of ours
Under the soil of France,
'Neath winter snows and springtime flowers
And the breezes as they dance.
So let them rest, the lads so brave,
Yes, rest there side by side
With freedom's flag to guard each grave
The flag for which they died.
They rest so well, the flag unstained
By greed or lust of fear.
They died for honor — well attained
For all we hold most dear.
So laddies, sleep your last long sleep.
Where courage won the day
Mute memories for France to keep
Of all we had to pay.
Oh mothers, you who gave your sons.
Be first to say "I know
My boy would lie where freedom's guns
Laid hate forever low.
His body may be far away
His spirit's close to me
So rest, dear lad. yes, rest for aye
In France across the sea."
High Honors for Company D
Company D, "Holyoke's O-wn," returned from France with the reputation of
being the best outfit in the 26th Division, and the third platoon of Company D
was the best platoon in the division. As proof of such superiority the company
possesses two bronze medals, one for the champion company and the other for
the champion platoon. These medals were won at the divisional military and
athletic tournament held at Ecommoy, France, March 10, 11 and 12, 1919.
The company competition consisted of infantry drill, including the manual of
arms and school of the company and a five-mile hike under arms. The platoon
competition included an inspection, manual of arms, close order drill, calisthenics
and bayonet drill.
"We certainly traveled on that hike," said Capt. Thomas Keatoe, commanding
Company D when it returned to Boston April 4 on the Mt. Vernon and went to
Camp Devens, where the boys received their discharges April 28. "The boys
stripped to their shirts and we double-timed the whole eight kilometers. Our
time of one hour and seven minutes was easily 12 minutes better than that of the
next company. And only three men fell out along the way."
The leader of the 3d platoon of Company D, winner of the platoon champion-
ship, is a Springfield man. Second Lieut. E. D. Martin.
This tournament in which Company D won so much honor is the same one
in which the 104th Regiment won the cup for having the highest total in the com-
bined military and athletic events. Every man in Company D has one of the medals
awarded the company and the men in the 3d platoon have in addition one of the
platoon medals.
Parade of the 26th Division
BOSTON, April 25, 1919. — New England had its chance to honor the Yankee
Division — and how it did honor it !
How many were in that multitude which packed itself as the banks in a flag-
decked lane of triumph is only conjecture. It was at least 1,000,000. It cheered like
5,000,000.
It saw a horseman, sitting erect and at salute, round a bend in the lane of
triumph. Major-General Clarence R. Edwards was turning into Beacon street from
Arlington street. The parade was under way.
Then did the cheers break loose — the cheers that tossed and heaved in incessant
din through nearly four hours of chill April air. Not alone did that din contain
cheers. The throng that turned out to do the Yankee Division honor had too much
honor to give to depend entirely upon the throat's power of offering. Mingling with
the roar of cheers was the crackling of rackets, the tinkle and clamor of bells, the
hoarse blasts of horns. Hands clapped loudly in concerted plaudits of contribution
to the day's acclaim and feet stamped on sidewalks and grandstand boards in deep,
far-carrying tattoo.
WILL LIVE FOREVER IN THEIR MEMORIES.
For days will that formal welcome home roar in the ears of the boys who
marched through it all. Down through the years will its echo live in their memories.
It told them and will ever remind them that the home folks appreciate them —
appreciate their patriotism, their hardships, their sacrifices, their valor and their
victory.
A martial spectacle such as New England has never before beheld was unfolded
— a spectacle in itself sufficient to stir the blood and impel marvelous applause.
But it was the significance resting within that spectacle which turned marvelous
applause into the wildest of demonstrations.
These men were combat troops — veterans of the war of wars. They had gone
through months of the super-hell which is the modern war — and they were back.
HONOR FLAG TELLS OE SACRIFICES.
Not all of them were back, however. In place of honor near the head of the
column — in advance even of that place of honor assigned to the men who are back,
but weakened by wounds — was a white-fielded flag. In its center blazed a golden
star. This was the flag which told of the Division's losses — and their number was
announced in the figures 1,760 inscribed beneath the star.
Killed in action — 1,760. Wounded in action — there were thousands of golden
chevrons worn low on the right sleeves of men who participated in that parade.
At the head of the marching column drove two long trains of automobiles, each
machine bearing the Division's most severely wounded. More than 1,100 YD men
thus went over the Division's triumphal parade route. And through the ranks were
scattered everywhere men who fell before German fire and gas. but who came back
to the ranks again.
410 HoLYOKE Ix The Great War.
Everywhere also were men wearing valor medals on their breasts — the Croix
de Guerre of France or of Belgium, and the Distinguished Service Cross of America.
Every grandstand was a turbulent bank of humanity. Curbstones had their
claimants — claimants who held their vantage places jealously as behind them formed
the crowds that packed sidewalks from edge to fence or wall.
Every window along the way was a frame for faces ; rooftops, cornices, tele-
graph poles and trees had their members of the reviewing host.
MILES OF CHEERS FOR EDWARDS AND LOGAN.
The cheers and din and clamor which went forth at the appearance of General
Edwards continued till the last man had completed the march— continued with vol-
ume that rose and fell, but which never again attained to such mighty proportions
except once.
This once was when Colonel Logan passed along at the head of the lOlst —
Colonel "Eddie" Logan of South Boston at the head of the doughboy regiment,
which is Boston's loftiest pride.
The 101st and its gallant commander needed no herald as it moved down that
human lane. Everybody knew instinctively who were coming next. Excitement at-
tained to renewed level of exceeding thrill ; cheers and din once more climbed to
that altitude which only a few moments before they had reached at the sight of the
erect and saluting general at the Division's head.
It was a great day for General Edwards and Colonel Logan. It was a great
day for ever}' man who wore the YD. Brigadier-General Cole and Brigadier-Gen-
eral Sherburne, both Boston men, men whom all New England knows have the ut-
most love and esteem of their soldiers, received greetings all along the way which
vied with those accorded Edwards and Logan.
HALE, COLE AND SHERBURNE SHARE IN HOMAGE.
The other commanders of Yankee Division units, whose place in the hearts of
iheir men all New England also knows, were recipients of cheering outbursts which
punctuated the afternoon's hours of cheering with more intense notes. For General
Hale, commander of the Division in its final months, there were flattering waves of
acclaim.
But the bulk of the cheers — the overwhelming burden of ovation — went out to
those boys who came along on foot. They streamed along for hours to give New
England a realization of the proportions of an army division.
Tin-helmeted, mostly with bayonet blades in gleaming array along their ranks,
these boys of the Division's rank and file had all the aspect of the real veterans they
are.
They marched at attention — and they were soldiers all the time. Neither to the
right nor to the left did they look, save when they executed eyes right in acknowl-
edgment of reviewing dignitaries.
"SMILE A LITTLE." GENERAL EDWARDS COMMANDS.
Only once did any men of the long, undulating column of olive drab permit
their lips to twitch in smiles — and this was at command of their general.
"You look too serious ; smile a little, lads ; this is your day." This was the be-
hest of General Edwards as the ranks swung by him before his reviewing stand on
Coluinbus avenue. It was repeated over and over at intervals. General Edwards
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 411
would have liked to say it to the men of every rank. Along those ranks which
heard it flashed a line of gleaming teeth. Every man wanted to smile at that man
who stood up there on the reviewing stand — but it just wasn't military without per-
mission. Permission accorded, the smiles blossomed radiantly.
Browned with campaigning were those faces set at stern attention under the
edges of helmets of steel. Rugged of body were the men who swung along in lithe
quickstep. There was rhythm to every stride. Alignments were straight, the mark
of veteran and well-trained soldiers. Rifles lying easily on accustomed shoulders
shot upward to their bright bayonet points at equal angles.
The display of soldierly excellence was all the more notable because those YD
men of the parade marched over a five-mile route in platoon front of three squads
and two guides — a 14-man rank. This was a drill field formation usually main-
tained but for short distances : it was a march formation rarely attempted.
SOLDIERS TO THE CORE, TRIED AND PROVEN.
It took rare military ability to maintain this formation so admirably as it was
maintained in the parade. But these men have proven themselves soldiers to the
very core — have proven themselves soldiers under the most gruelling of battle con-
ditions that ever soldiers went through. In those days of battle they knew no close
order formations ; in far-flung, deployed lines w-ere they ranged. But they gathered
back into the mass formations to put forth a display of ceremonial soldiery which
only the parade field at West Point usually offers.
As regiment and battalion and company of these men came along with helmet
straps at their chins, gas masks slung at their sides, packs on their backs, canteens
at their belt, the pressing throngs at either side just cheered and cheered and then
kept right on cheering. Those men with the YD insignia on their shoulders and
golden chevrons on their arms were soldiers giving a marvelous demonstration of
soldierly bearing and skill ; they were veterans of scenes which torture the mind
which tries to conceive them — but, most of all, they were New England's hero boys
back home again.
Not alone was it cheers which marked their marching way — there were tears,
too. Tears glistened in hundreds of eyes. There were tears of grief; many of the
mothers and fathers who sat in the huge stands along Commonwealth avenue had
sons represented in that gold star of the Division's flag of honor.
TEARS OF PRIDE IN EYES OF RELATIVES.
But the tears were not alone of solemnity ; tears express many emotions. They
expressed for thousands the pride and adulation in those marching boys which
found all other modes of utterance insufficient. There were tears which were forced
to the eyes by the fullness of gladness in the hearts — tears which just welled up
unrestrainable. More than the cheers and the waving of flags, these tears told the
place that the men of the Yankee Division hold in the esteem of New England.
The men were at their parade positions a half hour before noon. The men
who came down from Ayer marched directly to their places of readiness for the
march. Those who came down from camp the day before left their armories at a
time which would permit them to reach their places by 11.30.
General Edwards, mounted, not on YD but on Walla-Walla, was at his place a
full half hour before 1 o'clock. His staff, with his mount prancing circles at its
front, rested on Arlington street, just around the corner from Beacon street.
412 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
GENERAL EDWARDS STARTS PARADE PROMPTLY.
It was scarce 1 o'clock when he turned his horse's head into the route of
parade. He turned into Beacon street and the parade was on. Then it was that
the tumult entered upon its career which was not to end until the last YD man had
passed through Park square.
At the head of the column, only the troop of mounted police in advance of him,
he rode straight through the middle of the roadwaj". Astride the bough of a tree
overhanging Beacon street from the Common was a boy who had converted his
coat into a flag — an improvised flag — which he waved furiously. Nested in trees
all along the Common were adventurous boys who knew how to find free reserved
seats.
Past the State House, its governors and other dignitaries and its frontage for
the day of massed humanity, the Division's leader progressed, down Park street
and before the great stands of Tremont street, with Mayor Peters standing, to ex-
press officially the city's honor. Every moment seemed trying to outdo the acclaim
of the preceding moment.
FRANTIC WELCOME FROM RELATIVES' STANDS.
Then the mounted figure at the Division's head turned into Commonwealth ave-
nue— and instantly reviewing stand thousands were on their feet. Commonwealth
avenue's stands held the mothers and fathers and other relatives of the men of the
Yankee Division. Here, more than anywhere else along the parade route, was the
interest in the Division vital — and the cheers that arose at the sight of that van-
guard of horsemen seemed to have a keener and clearer ring than those sent from
any other point in the parade.
It was the first view for most of these mothers and fathers of the man over
whom their sons have raved in their letters — the first view of the man who led their
sons overseas. And as he rode down the line he was the object of the keenest
scrutiny of the day. The cheers told of the approval that the scrutinies had found.
Half way down the north side of the avenue the column halted. The first half
hour of the parade was over and this was the pre-arranged 3-minute rest.
The throngs in the reviewing stands only partially realized what was its occa-
sion. They saw General Edwards turn his horse broadside to the street and bow
before the group which stood on the porch of the house at 6.3 Commonwealth
avenue.
GENERAL EDWARDS SALUTES HIS WIFE.
Then, to send a thrill down those rows of mothers in the huge reviewing stands
set up on the avenue's mall ran the word that that was Mrs. Edwards who was
bowing acknowledgment from the house's porch — the little woman in black with the
grave, sweet face.
The parade had halted at the very moment General Edwards reached a place
directly in front of his home. All the elements of perfect dramatics were in that
halt — and those other women folks of the Yankee Division's men across the street
appreciated it to the full.
The parade moved again and the brief lull in the cheering as the throngs de-
ferred to the exchange of salutations between the man on horseback and the little
woman on the porch was broken with cheers that never again entered a lull till the
parade was through.
HoLYOKE Ix The Great War. 413
Colonel Logan came along to the view of the mothers and fathers and the others
in these Commonwealth avenue stands. There was something more than tumult in
those stands then. General Edwards had received what seemed the apex of heart
demonstrations here: the demonstration accorded Colonel Logan rivaled it.
The head of the column went far down Commonwealth avenue's one side and
then back the other. It turned into Copley square and everybody and everything
there seemed involved in the spirit of the day. Phillips Brooks, his bronze features
gazing out over the top of a protecting board fence, was holding his right hand
aloft in seeming gesture for the occasion. Every Copley square roof, even to the
Public Library, had its throngs.
TUMULTUOUS GREETING FOR COLONEL LOGAN.
Then the parade progress took the head of the column by the stands ranged
along the railroad side of Boylston street. Here were gathered in a huge, long
stand the families and friends of the 101st infantry. Congressman Gallivan was
out in front leading the cheering. They gave a tremendous greeting to General Ed-
wards, but they simply went wild when Colonel Logan came along.
Next of the stands was that of the Elks. Vociferous to the full power of lungs
and of adjunct noise-makers was the greeting to General Edwards from this stand,
but most notable was the picturesqueness which it afforded. Every person in the
stand was waving a large American flag — the stand was a waving mass of red,
white and blue.
There was a halt at lower Boylston street. "This is marvelous," General Ed- ■
wards took occasion to say, "I guess this shows what the home folk think of those
stout-hearted lads of the Yankee Division."
Again there was a halt just before the column turned into Columbus avenue,
and General Edwards here gave utterance to the thought which had been hammering
through his head through all the din of ovation.
"I can't help thinking all the time," he said, "of those 1,760 men we left behind
us in France. They are lying over there that we may march here. If only we
could have them with us on such a glorious day as this !"
At 2.40 General Edwards dismounted and walked to his reviewing stand on Co-
lumbus avenue. Then was demonstrated eloquently how the men of the Yankee
Division revere him. Then, too, was demonstrated why they revere him.
The wounded of the automobile columns came along. These men were not at
attention. And neither was their general. They rose to their feet and cheered —
whole automoliile loads of them. They waved crutches in the air and empty sleeves.
This w-as tribute to a commander who was something more than a commander to
his men — a commander who was also a father and a comrade.
And the general on the platform had for each automobile load of wounded
YD heroes a genial shout of greeting. Major Christopher Lee of the 101st infantry,
hero soldier, who could not rise to acknowledge the general's salute, was in the
leading automobile of the wounded fleet.
"Good luck to you, Alajor Lee." was all that General Edwards had time to
utter before the machine was by.
Another halt in the parade stopped the middle of the automobile column in
front of the stand.
The general questioned the men as to the battles in which they received their
vrounds. He inquired as to how their wounds were healing. He recognized a man
here and there and recalled the time when he had met him "over there."
414 HoLYOKE Ix The Great War.
SHAKES HANDS WITH PRIVATE.
A private climbed out of one of the automobiles and came over to shake hands.
He identified himself in response to General Edwards's inquiries as Private Smith,
103d Infantry, of Calais, Me.
Private Smith is of portly build.
"How did such a weather strip as you miss so many bullets?" the general
asked, as the soldier was returning to his machine.
■'I didn't miss many of them, sir," was the reply; "I got hit five times."
A little later a soldier on crutches, one leg gone, and another leaning on a cane,
passed along the opposite side of the street. General Edwards called them over to
the stand. They explained that they had just climbed out of the automobile which
had borne them through the parade to that point. He gave them a seat in the front
row of his stand.
The general had a "Good luck" for each general and colonel and major that
passed along. His shout to Colonel Hume of the 103d Infantry was :
"Governor, I congratulate you."
Colonel Hume is to be a candidate for governor of Maine this fall.
Major Bogan came along at the head of the 101st Sanitary Train. "How is
the baby, Major?" General Edwards inquired.
"Why, I'm just getting acquainted with it now, sir; but it's fine," was the reply.
The baby was born while Major Bogan was overseas, and he saw it for the first
time when his ship came into Commonwealth Pier.
"It's one of the most beautiful babies I ever saw," General Edwards called as
the major's horse moved on.
MASCOT DOG WITH HIS WOUND STRIPE.
One of the halts in the parade brought the mascot of one of the units in front
of General Edwards's reviewing stand. This was a dog with a blanket, bearing a
wound stripe. There were numerous animal mascots in the parade, notably "Nan-
nette," the goat mascot which used to go over the top with L Company of the 101st
Infantry.
As the men passed the reviewing stand many of them carried in their free
hands the trophies of the bombardments of chocolate bars and cigarettes and or-
anges with which they had been met all along the way. Nearly 100 girls passed
out or tossed the gifts to the men as they passed the Tremont street stand. The
ammunition for this bombardment was furnished by the mayor's entertainment com-
mittee, headed by former Lieutenant-Governor Barry. Another heavy bombard-
ment came from the stands along Commonwealth avenue.
General Hale, although not as well known to the New England public as Gen-
eral Edwards, received a very cordial welcome from those standing along the line
of march. He saluted General Edwards as he passed the latter at the Columbus
square reviewing stand, and, upon reaching the Cadet armory, made his way with
his staff to the reviewing stand built for him by the First Corps Cadets' Veterans'
Association.
General Hale and his staff remained on that stand until the 52d Infantry, com-
manded by Brigadier-General Charles H. Cole, made its appearance. Necessity for
an early departure for New York and from there to Camp Dix. of which he is to
take command, resulted in his having to leave Boston early.
GENERAL HALE PRAISES 26TH DIVISION.
Before going, however, he expressed his appreciation for everything that New
England has done for him and his division. He paid tribute to the men and to
HoLYOKE Ix The Great War. 415
their commanding officers, and he endorsed every sentiment voiced by General Ed-
wards in his tribute to the troops of the 26th and the men and women of New
England.
On General Edwards's staff were Col. W. A. Alfonte, Col. A. L. Pendleton,
Major Stanley Washburn, Col. M. C. Dowell, Major Allison Cole, Col. J. F. How-
ard, Major John W. Hyatt, his personal aid; Capt. Oliver Wolcott, Lieut. Willis

O'Connor.
"HISTORIC," SAYS COOLIDGE.
"A parade that will be historic in this Commonwealth has just been finished
with great success," said Governor Coolidge, immediately after leaving the State
House reviewing stand. "I desire to express my thanks to all those who have made
it a success — first to the soldiers for their sacrifice in remaining in the service, and
then to all the civil authorities and the special committees that have co-operated so
splendidly in every way.
"It was especially gratifying to have present the governors of the New Eng-
land States and their guests. Their co-operation was very helpful in making the day
complete. It should also be remembered that the city of Boston has extended every
possible hospitality to the many guests who came here for this occasion. It has
been an experience for the Commonwealth that will richly repay every expenditure
of time and money that was necessary to bring it about."
"It was fine and wonderfully impressive," said Governor Clement of Vermont.
"The men certainly looked great and acquitted themselves fully as well as in the
wonderful review at Camp Devens. Massachusetts has treated her neighboring
states wonderfully well, and I am sure I speak for all Vermonters when I say that
we are perfectly satisfied with the treatment given us in connection with the parade."
Governor Bartlett of New Hampshire was enthusiastic in his praise of the
marching men. "It was splendid; never have I seen troops so uniformly military
in their bearing. The parade was a wonderful exemplification of the training the
men have had and spoke wonders for their ability to assimilate the instruction given
them. Massachusetts and Boston have treated us wonderfully."
"That word 'wonderful' tells the whole story," said Governor Milliken of Maine.
"The arrangements were perfect and were carried out with a precision no one
could have expected. No words of mine could possibly do justice to the boys —
their marching spoke for them. They were great."
"They all looked good to me," said Governor Holcomb of Connecticut, "and
the Connecticut boys were certainly as good as any in the parade. We are proud of
them and of every man in the Yankee Division, and we are grateful, especially to
Governor Coolidge, for the splendid manner in which the parade was handled."

Major General Clarence R. Edwards
Maj.-Gen. Clarence R. Edwards observed New Year's
day, 1860, by being born in Cleveland, Ohio. He is, however,
of New England stock. He was graduated from West Point
in 1883 and was commissioned a lieutenant in the 23d cavalry.
During the Spanish war he served as a brevet major, and af-
terwards in the Philippines was rapidly breveted lieutenant-
colonel, colonel and brigadier-general for gallantry in the field.
He organized the bureau of insular affairs and then was sent
to command the troops at Panama. When war was declared
with Germany he was in command of the Department of the
Northeast, from which we went to France with the 26th di-
vision. To him went the credit of landing the first complete
militia division in France. Shortly before the armistice, he
was relieved and returned to this country, but when the Yan-
kee division returned home he again was made its commander.
General Harry C. Hale
Harry C. Hale was born in Galesburg, 111., July 10, 1861.
He was commissioned in the regular army in 1879 on gradua-
tion from West Point. He served as a captain in the Spanish
war and afterwards, during Philippine campaigns, was pro-
moted to major. He became a lieutenant-colonel in 1911 ; col-
onel in 1915. When the war with Germany came, he was
sent to China. While in the Orient he received his commis-
sion as a brigadier-general, which was followed soon after
by promotion to major-general. In 1918 he was sent to France
and there relieved Brig.-Gen. Bamford in command of the
26th division, just a short time after the armistice. He had
charge of the division during the trying months preceding the
armistice and got the unit in shape for the return home. He
is a warm friend of Maj.-Gen. Edwards. It is said of Gen-
eral Hale that he writes his mother every day.

General John H. Sherburne
John H. Sherburne is a typical New Englander. He was
born in Boston, and like a conventional Bostonese, attended
Harvard, from which he graduated in 1899. After graduation
he entered politics and became a representative in the Great
and General Court. He served on the military affairs com-
mittee year after year, and did much good work as a com-
mitteeman. His first connection with the army came when
he enlisted as a private in battery A, 1st Massachusetts field
artillery, March 24, 1896. He was rapidly promoted through
successive ranks as lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant-col-
onel and finally became colonel. When the 101st field artil-
tery was formed he was made its commanding officer. He
did so well during the early days of the war that he was made
a brigadier-general and was given command of the 51st artil-
lery brigade of the 26th division. Like most of the higher
militia officers of the division, he saw service at the Mexican
border.
Brigadier General Charles H. Cole
Charles H. Cole has held some of the most important of-
fices in the state. He was born in South Boston, October
20, 1871, and was graduated from the English high school,
where he was commander of the school cadets. He entered
the 1st corps Cadets in 1890, and worked up until he became
a major of the corps. Governor Douglas appointed him in-
spector of rifle practice in 1905 for all the state militia.
Shortly after he became a police commissioner of Boston, but
resigned during the Curley regime. During the Mexican
trouble he was adjutant-general for the state. In the follow-
ing year he ran for the Democratic nomination for governor.
When the war with Germany broke out he enlisted in the
9th infantry, M. V. M., as a private, and speedily was pro-
moted to captain. Then he was made brigadier-general and
was put in command of the 52d infantry brigade..

Colonel Robert E. Goodwin
Col. Robert E. Goodwin was born in historic Concord and,
like the men of '75, he has always been on the job when his
country needed soldiers. He received his education at Har-
vard, from which he was graduated in 1901, and from the
Boston University law school. At Harvard he was a 'var-
sity oarsman during his senior year. Always a good student,
he applied his knowledge to the afifairs of the militia, so that
when this war started and his commander. Colonel Sherburne,
became a brigadier-general, he became colonel of the 101st
field artillery. To him has been given the credit for origina-
tion of "the intuition barrage," which was nothing but the
laying down of a barrage because the colonel believed the
Huns were about to attack, and wanted to stop them, although
he had no information of the attack. He has been decorated
until his chest, when he is dressed up, looks like Joseph's
coat.
Colonel Edward L. Logan
Edward L. Logan of South Boston comes from a fight-
ing family. His father before him was commander of the
old 9th Massachusetts infantry, and later became Gen. Law-
rence A. Logan. Edward L. Logan is now forty-four years
of age. He was graduated from Harvard in 1898, served as
a sergeant major in the Spanish war under his father. After
the war he entered the Harvard Law School, from which he
was graduated in 1902. He entered politics, was elected suc-
cessively to the city council, the House of Representatives
and the state Senate. All this time he was rising in the mili-
tia, until, when the Mexican troubles broke out, he was colo-
nel of the "Fighting 9th." At the outbreak of the war in
1917 he became commander of the 101st infantry, of which the
9th was the nucleus. He has held this position since, except
for the brief period after his removal because of charges
which never were substantiated.

Colonel George W. Bunnell
George \V. Bunnell was born in Oakland, Cal., forty-four
years ago. He was a West Pointer by education, but resigned
his commission after the Spanish war and left the 4th artil-
lery, with which he had been stationed, to enter business.
For some time he was connected with the New York militia,
holding various ranks until, in 1912, he was chief of the en-
gineer division of the Empire state national guard. He re-
signed to come to Massachusetts, where he became president
of the Power Construction Company, making his home in
Worcester. At the outbreak of the war he was found as com-
mander of the 101st engineers, composed of what had been
the 1st corps Cadets. He organized his regiment into one of
the most efficient engineer detachments in the A. E. F. His
troops served not only as engineers, but on numerous occa-
sions forsook their spades for rifles and took their places as
combat troops.
Colonel Frank M. Hume
Col. Frank M. Hume is a "down-Easter." He was born
in Bridgewater, Me., but lived most of his life in Houlton,
Me. He enlisted in the 2d Maine infantry for the Spanish
war, after he had completed his education at Poughkeepsie,
N. Y. He was graduated from Spanish war as a captain.
After that he continued service with the ]Maine militia and
gradually won promotion until, at the outbreak of the Mexi-
can trouble, he was a colonel. When the war with Germany
came, he held his rank and was placed in command of the
103d infantry, a regiment composed of the old 2d Maine in-
fantry and the old 1st New Hampshire infantry. Colonel
Hume's services with this regiment won him the croix de
guerre after the battle of Seicheprey. Like Colonel Logan he
was removed from his command at the time of the armistice,
but also like Colonel Logan, he later was reinstated, and the
charges against him proved groundless.

General George H. Shelton
Although a regular army man Gen. George H. Shelton is
another New Englander and "fits" with the Yankee division.
He was born in Connecticut and graduated from West Point
in 1896. During the Spanish war he served as a second lieu-
tenant of the 11th infantry. In 1901 he was made a captain
in the 25th infantry. In 1908 he became a major and was
transferred to the bureau of insular affairs, which had been
organized by Maj.-Gen. Clarence R. Edwards. At the begin-
ning of the war with Germany he was made lieutenant-col-
onel, replacing Col. William C. Hayes of Springfield in com-
mand of the 104th infantry after the regiment had reached
France. This command came, however, only after mer-
itorious service as chief of staff for General Edwards. For
the good work of the 104th, Colonel Shelton was made briga-

The Rev. Father Michael J. O'Connor was born in Ire-
land, July 12, 1869, and came to this country when a boy.
He attended the local schools and Holy Cross College. He
enlisted as a private in the 9th infantry in 1890. Later he be-
came chaplain of the same regiment. He was ordained to the
priesthood December 22, 1901, and was first assigned to the
parish of St. Peter's church, Rutland, Vt. He was recalled
to this diocese and became rector of St. Patrick's Church,
Stoneham. In 1905 he was assigned to St. Francis de Sales'
church, Roxbury, a pastorate he held when he became chap-
lain of the 9th in 1907, and continued to hold when he went
to the Mexican border with the regiment and when he went
to France with the 101st infantry. He later was made chap-
lain of the 26th division. Chaplain O'Connor is known as
"the fighting chaplain," and has lived up to the name. He
particularly likes to remember that he first was in the militia
as a private.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the Crosses, row on row,
That mark our place ; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly.
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the dead.
Short days ago Ave lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe.
To you from falling hands we throw the torch.
Be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
— By Lt. Col. John McCrae, of Montreal,
Whose Body Lies in Flanders Fields.

The Empty Chair
Wherever is an empty chair — \
Lord, be Thou there ! |
And fill it — like an answered prayer — t
With grace of fragrant thought, and rare ?
Sweet memories of him whose place I
Thou takest for a little space ! — |
- — With thought of that heroical *
Great heart that sprang to Duty's call; I
— With thought of all the best in him, |
That Time shall have no power to dim; t
—With thought of Duty nobly done, I
And High Eternal Welfare won. |
Think ! Would you wish that he had stayed,
When all the re'st The Call obeyed?
— That thought of self had held in thrall
His soul, and shrunk it mean and small?
Nay, rather thank the Lord that he
Rose to such height of chivalry ;
— That, with the need, his loyal soul
Swung like a needle to its pole ;
— That, setting duty first, he went
At once, as to a sacrament.
i
So, Lord, we thank Thee for Thy Grace, ?
And pray Thee fill his vacant place ! |

Company D Returns Home
The handful of Co. D, "Holyoke's Own," who returned today (April 28, 1919),
after eighteen months' active service in France, was given the biggest welcome in
the history of the city. Thousands of people turned out to greet them and the streets
through which the boys marched was jammed with humanity. There were greet-
ings of every kind, bells rang, whistles blew, sirens shrieked and people shouted
themselves hoarse, in an effort to show the lads that their war record was appre-
ciated. At the banquet in the Nonotuck there were all kinds of expressions of
welcome.
As early as 2.30 people started seeking advantageous positions along the line of
march. They waited patiently until after six o'clock to see the heroes. Shortly be-
fore three o'clock a mill engineer got his signals crossed and started blowing his
whistle. This brought out hundreds of people, who once securing a position, held
it against all odds. At five twenty-five the fire alarm sounded the official thirty
minute notice of the coming of the automobile fleet, but it was nearly an hour be-
fore the machines arrived.
A half dozen Co. D boys, who had been in the city for some time, arrived at
the South Holyoke Engine House in an automobile. People thought they were the
first to return from Devens and they were given a mad ovation. The police platoon
which had been waiting at the corner of Main and Sargeant streets, formed into
position and came marching up. Shortly after, the first machine from the camp
arrived. In it was Lieut. Col. Alfred F. Foote, Capt. E. J. Slate and Lieut. William
H. McGarry and others. The other machines followed the first car closely.
It was at the request of the committee in charge of the affair that the soldiers
got out of the machines and marched along the route. It had been first planned
that they Vv'ere to ride. The parade formation was simple. First came a platoon
of police in charge of Sergt. John Moriarty, followed by Co. D, led by Lieut. Col.
Foote, Capt. Slate and Lieut. McGarry. Behind "Holyoke's Own" were members of
the 101st Engineers, while a fleet of autos brought up the rear.
A regiment could not have received a bigger welcome in Holyoke than was
given those half-hundred battle scarred vets. Although mere boys as to age, they
were men in experience. There were but a few who did not wear the wound stripe ;
some had two, and others wore the Croix de Guerre or Distinguished Service Medal,
while others had received citations for bravery under fire.
There was barely enough room in the streets for the soldiers to pass through.
Everyone wanted to shake hands with the boys at once. Girls threw confetti, candy
and cigarettes.
As the parade passed the Central Fire Station the boys saw every piece of ap-
paratus out near the doors, and firemen turning the sirens. The noise drowned out
every other bit of noise in the vicinity.
In the front of the Soldiers' Memorial Tablet the men were drawn up facing
the tablet and standing at attention, while the crowd stood bareheaded, the City
band played the "Star Spangled Banner." President William M. Hart of the Board
of Aldermen was the only speaker at the Memorial Tablet exercises. He read a
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 431
telegram of welcome from Mayor Ryan who is away on his honeymoon. President
Hart said : "Holyoke is proud of you. It is useless for me to try and put into
words what your efforts have meant to the city. We are standing here in the
midst of the living and the dead, and it is as a tribute to your qualities that this
demonstration is made. You exemplify in life what these poor boys do in death,
because God knows that you were in the Valley of Death, not once but hundreds of
times. I pledge you, Holyoke will not forget its brave heroes."
The tables in the large ballroom of the Nonotuck were artistically arranged
in the form of Co. D. The "O" was inside the "C" and at this round table were
the ranking officers present. Around the "C" were the guests, while the Co. D boys
sat around the "D" table.
Alderman William Hayes, chairman of the committee in charge, was the toast-
master and opened the banquet by calling on Rev. J. C. Sycamore for a prayer.
The chaplain offered prayers for those boys who died in France and prayers of
thanksgiving for those who have returned.
During the evening Corp. Edward F. Murphy of Fitchburg, a Co. D boy who
was wounded in action, decorated with the Distinguished Service Medal and rec-
ommended for the Congressional Medal of Honor, walked down the banquet hall
to meet Congressman Allen T. Treadway. He was recognized and given a great
ovation.
There were exactly 152 soldiers and friends present and entertainment was
furnished by the hotel jazz band, the K. of C. trio, composed of Roy, Roache and
Walter, and the Male Art Quartet, composed of Arthur Lj'nch, Norman Dash, Ed-
ward F. Gilday and John Cox. Several soldiers played the piano.
Congressman Treadway was the first speaker and after stating that he was be-
ginning to believe that his domicile was in Holyoke, he paid a glowing tribute to the
Holyoke boys of the 26th Division, whom he bade God-speed a year ago last Septem-
ber, when they were leaving for France. He told how out of the 120 local men in
the company of 250 men that proudly marched out of the city, but one-third
marched back. "The other two-thirds," he said, '"are scattered, and some lie buried
over yonder. Our first thoughts, therefore, are for them. There are thoughts
of happiness and thoughts of sadness here tonight."
The speaker said in part as follows :
"I cordially join in welcoming Co. D back home, and I feel justified as your
representative in Congress to officially welcome you home. We are glad you are
here. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you have done for
the country and for the world. The arms of the country are opened to receive you
boys and the city of Holyoke welcomes you tonight. May the lessons and hard-
ships you have endured in our behalf ever pay you full recompense for the dangers
in doing, and may you ever realize that you have done your full duty, both as cit-
izens and as soldiers, and that Holyoke and the couVitry at large wishes you all
manner of future success, happiness and the best of good health.
"It was my privilege to bid you God-speed at a banquet in this hall less than
two years ago. The hall that night was packed with soldiers. Tonight the letter
*D' formed by the tables is sufficient to seat those who have returned. One-third
of you are back tonight; two-thirds are scattered. Many are buried in France,
and there are thoughts of sadness here tonight.
"The country entered into a solemn obligation with you men that we would
take care of those you left behind. We have done that, and we will continue to
do it. There have been mistakes made in reference to insurance, allotments, etc.,
but all these things will sooner or later be straightened out. There are some dis-
432 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
crepancies in the war risk insurance law as enacted, but Congress will see to it that
these are stricken out and that justice will be given every boy, and those dependent
upon him."
Congressman Treadway paid tributes to General Edwards, Colonel Foote, Cap-
tain Slate and to the men in the ranks. He also paid a tribute to the wonderful
work done by the women in the last two and a half years.
Holyoke's ranking army officer, Lieut. Col. Alfred F. Foote, gave some vivid
impressions of what the 104th Infantry and especially the boys of Co. D did over
there. He held his audience spellbound, not so much by his eloquence, but by the
truths of his statements. He said in part as follows:
"We appreciate the welcome home given us by the country, by Massachusetts,
and by our beloved city of Holyoke. When I see the 104th fading away there is a
tug at my heartstrings. We are homesick and lonesome. All the joy of home-
coming has a touch of sadness. We cannot forget the past. Everywhere we turn
we see it. As I looked back over the company, coming up the hill to the City Hall
it struck me hard to see the small handful of men we were bringing back compared
with the 250 we took away. Some of those that were not in line are still living,
but a lot of them are not. Some day when things get straightened out, I want to
meet the fathers and mothers of Holyoke so I may tell them of what their boys
did.
'"It was wonderful to see these kids, as I call them, go up against the Boche,
saying, 'I am a better man than you are.' At the Apremont front the 104th threw
down the gauntlet and said, 'We are ready.' The enemy attacked, but they did
not get through. I believe it was right there, one year ago this month, that the
Boche first found the temper of the steel of the American soldier's bayonet. If
you ever go to France, go to Vignon, on the road to St. Mihiel, where you will see
sixty white crosses — your boys of Western Massachusetts, who held the Boche.
Sixty of them made the supreme sacrifice then and there.
"The boys you sent out were willing to do anything, no matter what it was.
There was but one thing that bothered them, 'Why stay here, let's go forward.'
General Edwards wanted to send his division through, but the French High Com-
mand knew the time had not yet come. We went into Belleau Woods for ten
days. It was hell.. The boys will never forget it. The 104th lost 142 men just
holding the Woods. No man will forget, who was there on the morning of the
18th of July, last year, when we were sent across the wheat fields, over into the
valley near the railroad. The 104th taught the Boche we could do more than de-
fend. We took the offensive. I told two or three non-commissioned officers that
the next morning they were to have an opportunity to avenge the death of their
comrades. Co. D went over the top at 4.25 that next morning, and I think there
is not a man of Co. D but who is satisfied that revenge was taken. For five days
it was attack after attack. At the end of five days, there were 2,000 casualties
out of 3,200 men. General Edwards then wanted to get into the town of Epieds. He
told me to go ahead with the 104th. We went that night. We brought out of
Epieds a broken 104th. The regiment was re-established. In fact, the 26th Division
was replaced four times in all.
"This impression was imbedded into the minds of all, 'that in this struggle
for liberty, the indivdual counts for very little. If you or I or he dies it matters
very little. It is how you or I or he dies that matters.'
"We are glad it is all over, as you are. We have known all the while you
were behind us. We smoked your cigars, K. of C. ; we ate your candy, Jewish
Welfare Society; we ate your doughnuts, Salvation Army; we wore your socks.
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 433
Red Cross; we enjoyed your entertainments and danced with your girls, Y. M.
C. A. ; we took in the whole show/'
Judge Thomas J. Lynch, representing Mayor John D. Ryan, spoke as follows:
"We all remember when Company D went away, brave, courageous and up-
right. They went away because civilization was at stake. They have more than
made good. They surely have played a wonderfully big part in making the world
safe for democracy.
"The touch of sadness is felt for those who are not coming back, but they
hallowed the soil of France with noble sacrifice.
"Holyoke welcomes you boys back. The hearts of all of us swell up with pride
for the deeds, you have done. We wish you every success as you re-enter civilian
life. Holyoke was always behind you. Holyoke has never failed in any undertak-
ing. While you were across 'she was willing to do her part, and she did it well.
There is still a finishing task ahead, to put over the Victory loan, but Holyoke will
again do her full part and will 'finish the job.'"
Judge Lynch then read the following message from the mayor :
"Valiant soldiers, I wish to express to you the deep pride we feel in the fame
and renown you have achieved on the battlefields of France. We watched your
progress during the war and prayed for your success. You never failed. You
did not disappoint our highest hopes and how truly can we say you fought a good
fight. You have kept the faith.
"Holyoke is proud of her sons and the part they have taken in this war. In
proportion to her population and resources, she has not been surpassed by any
community in the country. Her sons in the army and navy have done their duty
and her citizens, men and women at home, have never faltered in the obligations
which they owe her.
"Two years have almost elapsed since you left our midst, strong, sturdy and
courageous. Your ranks have become thinner, and many of your comrades have
fallen by the way, having made the supreme sacrifice. They died for their coun-
try and what greater sacrifice could any man make than to offer his life on the
altar of his country. 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori,' as the Latin poet
has said, 'Sweet and beautiful to die for one's country.'
"We welcome you home and extend to you the hand of friendship and sin-
cerity. You are to take your accustomed places among your fellow citizens who
will ever be mindful of the great work you have done. The war is behind you
and the lesson of loyalty and patriotism and the high ideals which have been im-
pressed upon your minds are something that you can never lose. Selfishness never
marked your paths. It was a patriotic duty that you undertook and you have the
thanks of a grateful people,
"Veterans of the world war, young men, nevertheless veterans, you have nobly
undergone all the trials, tribulations and sorrows in the performance of your duty.
Indeed, you are the orators this evening, it matters little who may be the speakers.
Holyoke will ever honor and cherish your brave and unselfish deeds."
Other speakers were : Rev. R. R. Wicks, who spent six months in France
with the Y. M. C. A.; Dr. E. P. Bagg, Jr., representing the Holyoke Chapter of
the American Red Cross ; P. J. Hinds, representing the Holyoke Council, Knights
of Columbus ; William A. Morse, representing the Holyoke Y. M. C. A., and J. L.
Barowsky, representing the Holyoke Jewish Welfare Board. Captain E. J. Slate,
who left Holyoke as commander of Company D, and who came home as com-
mander of the Supply Company of the regiment, said that he was proud of both
his companies ; Lieutenant Wallace A. Choquette, who left Holyoke as first lieu-

tenant of Company D, and who was transferred to the Tank Corps, and Lieutenant
William McGarry, who left Holyoke as a sergeant of Company D, and who was
promoted to a lieutenant in France.
Chairman Hayes read the following letter:
"It is a source of great regret that I cannot be with you tonight to welcome
our boys who have done such valiant service for God and humanity. I remember
well the dinner we gave them just before leaving. The enthusiasm of the affair
and the confidence expressed in our men. That confidence was not misplaced, the
men did their work. That for which they fought was won.

Decorations Matter of Luck
Major General Robert Alexander, commanding the Liberty Division, says that
being decorated is a matter of luck. He said :
"Being decorated is largely a matter of luck. If you happen to do something
and someone sees you and tells on you, then you stand a good chance of getting a
decoration.
"But if you do something and no one sees you and there is no one to tell on
you, then you are out of luck and the chances are against your getting a decoration.
"I believe that more men than I would care to number are worthy of decora-
tions ; but were out of luck."'

General Edwards' Farewell
General Edwards' farewell to his men of the 26th Division:
"From the earliest days of colonial history there has been a peculiar psychol-
ogy and morale deep rooted in the New England character— a morale exemplified
by a love of liberty and a sense of justice; a psychology which has run unbroken
through the annals of the six states from which your division has been recruited.
"The spirit that first brought the colonial, fathers to your shores was indomi-
table in 1776. At Lexington your forefathers dropped their early avocations in
the cause of freedom. In '61 your fathers in the 6th Massachusetts Infantry, re-
sponded to Lincoln's call for volunteers and on the 19th of April the first blood in
the Civil War was shed on the streets of Baltimore by men of Massachusetts.
"When in this world crisis the call to arms blazoned forth, the same character-
istics, which have ever made New England a Rock of Gibraltar for any righteous
cause, flowered forth.
"The men of the 26th Division who went overseas carried with them the tra-
ditions of more than two centuries of stern purpose, and you who have now re-
turned bring back untarnished the reputation bequeathed by your fathers. I am
but a grandson of New England by birth and I can therefore with propriety say
without prejudice to you and to the people of these six states who are assembled
here today to see you that the blood of New England has not attenuated. You
men here have brought back reputations which will shed upon the history of your
states a glory which even '76 and '61 cannot dim.
"I cannot adequately express in words the depths of my feelings in parting from
you, nor the pride that it gives me to turn you back once more to those who sent
30U forth on your world errand and to whose arms I now commend you.
"I bid you farewell as soldiers, true and tried, and I wish you Godspeed on
your career as civilians in the republic whose history you have adorned and beauti-
fied by your deeds of heroism and sacrifice across the seas.
"To one and all of you, my stout-hearted lads of the 26th, I say goodby and
God bless vou !"
General Cole's Farewell
To THE Officers and Men of the 52d Infantry Brigade :
You are tried veterans of the greatest war in history. Your courageous deeds
are engraved on the tablets of y6ur country's fame.
As long as these United States shall endure, your honor and glory shall be
sung whenever the immortal names of Chemin des Dames, Apremont, Xivray,
Bois de Belleau, Torcy, Etripilly Plateau, Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel. Riaville,
Verdun, Meuse-Argonne are spoken or written.
Our heroic dead lie in glorious France as our silent, sacred testimony that we
have kept the faith.
The ideals for which you fought will ever serve as an inspiration of loyalty
and patriotism to the youth of x\merica.
With a sadness that is indescribable, but with a heart beating with honor,
pride and pleasure in your achievements, I bid you goodby, confident that in civic
affairs you will make as absolutely and everlasting good as you did in battle.
May God keep and bless you.
436 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
General Hale's Farewell
Maj.-Gen. Harry C. Hale gave out the following statement:
"In response to a request from the press for a brief expression of appreciation
of the 26th Division upon the eve of its demobilization, I take pleasure in saying
that from the moment of my assumption of command to the present I have been
loyally supported by the commissioned and enlisted personnel of the division in my
efforts in its behalf.
"Beginning with an impersonal interest, due solely to a sense of duty, I have
come to possess a personal regard for the Yankee Division and a personal desire
for its success.
"It is with a feeling of satisfaction, therefore, that I see the division in its last
days conducting itself so worthily, and it is with no disloyalty to my own, the 'Lin-
coln Division,' where my affection lies deeply rooted, that I say goodby to the 26th
Division with a sincere feeling of respect, good-will and friendship.

"Major General, U. S. Army.
Two Reviews— 1865-1919
Back through the misty years, over a full half-century and more, to the days
of the Grand Review of '65, the minds of a scattered handful of veterans go wan-
dering today. They are veterans of another war, fought, not on foreign soil, but
here at home — a war waged in the cause of downtrodden humanity, as this last
war was waged.
The Grand Review ! What memories the words recall.
The great review of the 26th Division lasted but a few hours ; the Grand Re-
view of '65 lasted two days. In 1919 18,000 men marched ; in '65 full 200,000 were
in line. In 1919 there were but few horses; in '65 there were nearly 10,000. In
1919, no mighty guns; in '65 the artillery of two powerful armies.
First, on May 23, the Army of the Potomac, Gen. George G. Meade riding
at its head, moved majestically down Pennsylvania avenue, past the Treasury
building, and then along the flag-bedecked stand on the White House grounds,
where President Johnson, General Grant and other notable leaders stood to review.
The whole army was there, nearly 130,000 men with scores of rumbling batteries
and regiment after regiment of cavalry.
Next day came Sherman's host, the army that had made the famous "march
to the sea" through Georgia, and had fought the Carolinas campaign. His "bum-
mers" or foragers were there, their saddles and mule wagons loaded with pro-
visions they had gathered through the countryside. And at the rear of each regi-
ment flocked groups of negro refugees, who had joined the army in its march to
the sea, and had followed it to freedom.
Those who marched in that Grand Review, and those who witnessed it, never
will forget. The Grand Review of 1865 will live forever in history.
HoLYOKE In The Great War, 437
New England Always First
Minute Men of Massachusetts fired the shot heard 'round the world April 19,
1775, offering the first resistance to British forces in the Revolution.
The 6th Massachusetts Infantry was the first Northern regiment to shed its
blood on Southern soil in '61, encountering. a mob while passing through Baltimore
in answer to Lincoln's call for troops to guard the capital.
The 2d Massachusetts Infantry was first of the National Guard regiments,
with the 71st New York, on the firing line in Cuba.
The 26th Division was the first American unit organized as a division in the
United States and transported complete to France ; and it engaged in the first two
battles in which Americans fought without the support of French infantry.

Just a year ago today
Who could hold the German line?

With the Rhine mud on his shirt —
And a year ago this morning they were winning:
Now they stand by in a daze
As we pull off double plays
In a land that never knew a "seventh inning."

Who could check the Prussian blow?
Now they're beating out a single

Just a year ago this morning
They were swarming into France ;
Now we 're yelling ' ' Make 'im hit it ! "

Where the Uhlan swung his lance
For another drive in France,
Oh, a year ago they revelled in the clover
Now they wonder what we mean
When some doughboy ducks his bean
While the clan is yelping loudly,
"Get 'it over!"

438 HoLYOKE In The Great AVar.
Holyoke World War Veterans' Association
On February 21, 1919, a meeting of honorably discharged service men was held
in the State Armory, Holyoke, Mass. The meeting was not very well attended,
but the men present were an enthusiastic bunch of workers and Major W. J.
Crosier of the Spanish War Veterans' Association proposed that the service men
present form an organization to include all honorably discharged soldiers, sailors
c<nd marines who had served in the war against the Central Powers. Comrade
Michael Scannell of the Spanish War Veterans' Association was chosen chairman
pro tem. Resolutions were adopted that the organization about to be formed should
be along the lines of comradeship and mutual help, all ex-service men, soldiers, sail-
ors and marines to be eligible for membership whether they had served in this coun-
try or abroad during the war with the Central Powers, and whether they had
served in the United States Army or Navy or in the armies or navies of our allies.
An election of officers was then held., William J. Foley, 293 Chestnut street,
Holyoke, and William Stewart, 52 Franklin street, were unanimously elected presi-
dent and secretary respectively. The election of a full board of officers was de-
ferred so that others may be chosen as the organization progressed and its needs
demanded.
Motion carried that Major W. J. Crosier, Sergt. Melvin Snow and Comrade
Michael Scannell of the United Spanish' W^ar Veterans' Association, be invited to
co-operate in the work of organization.
Motion carried that meetings be held until further notice in the Armory every
Tuesday evening at 8 p. m.
At a meeting held in the State Armory Tuesday, March 18, 1919, Frank E.
Shea was elected commander of the Holyoke World War Veterans' Association;
Frederick Childs, Sr., vice-commander, and William Stewart, adjutant.
At a meeting held in the State Armory Tuesday, March 25, 1919, the following
officers were added to the board : Junior vice-commander, James O'Donnell ;
quartermaster, James Stalker ; paymaster, John Gordon ; officer of the day, Frank
L. Connor ; officer of the guard, Michael Joseph Donoghue. The organization is
progressing rapidly, and at date of writing this story, April 29, 1919, it now num-
bers 580 members.
Many of the members have served with distinction on the battlefields of Flan-
ders, and each and every member of the organization has been a link in the chain
which helped carry forward to a successful conclusion the war against the Central
Powers.
A band has now been organized, and I feel confident in predicting a great
future for the Holyoke World War Veterans' Association.
Many of the Company D men, "Holyoke's Own," have been added to our
membership, and Lieut. Col. A. F. F'oote has forwarded to the organization a letter
assuring us of his active interest and willingness to help in any possible way.

HoLYOKE In The Great War. 439
Holyoke Ex-Service Men's Association
With the spirit which so fittingly characterized the Fifth Victory Liberty Loan,
'"Sure, We'll Finish the Job/' Holyoke assumed its responsibility during the days
of demobilization and the beginning of the period of reconstruction in an heroic and
common sense manner.
The signing of the armistice necessarily brought temporary industrial depres-
sion. The cry for "jobs" was heard on all sides by the returning soldiers. At once
it was evident that no better service could be rendered our discharged soldiers
than that of putting them again in some kind of economic employment.
The j\Iayor of Holyoke, Hon. John D. Ryan, appointed a Citizens' Committee
with George A. Savoy, Chairman; Major W. J. Crosier, Vice-Chairman, Lee H.
Brow, Secretary; John M. James. Treasurer; John J. Lynch, Peter J. Hinds and
John M. James, Housing Committee. In addition to the above, several public-
spirited people served on the General Committee. The committee organized what is
known as the Holyoke ex-Service Men's Association. The Housing Committee
secured rooms in P. J. Meany's Block, 343 High street, where headquarters were
opened. William Stewart, an ex-service man, was engaged to be secretary in charge
of the rooms. Lip to the time of this writing, Mr. Stewart has been ably assisted
by Arthur Beaudry, Jeremiah J. Dowd. and Henry C. Dowd.
From the first the rooms have been the mecca for discharged soldiers, sailors
and marines. Mr. Stewart in his own splendid way has been like a "Daddy" to
hundreds of Holyoke's returned service men.
The splendid spirit of unselfish co-operation on the part of the City of Hol-
yoke, the Red Cross, the Young Women's Christian Association, the Knights of
Columbus, the Young Men's Christian Association, scores of individuals and many
business concerns makes possible the basis of the following detailed report, which
covers the period from March 5, 1919 to April 28, 1919. The reader is asked to
bear in mind that it is impossible to record every act of service.
Steady employment secured for 195 men.
. Temporary employment secured for 90 men.
Free beds secured for SO men.
Three men placed in furnished rooms.
Meals provided free to 225 men.
Transportation given to 60 men.
Clothing provided for 54 men.
Soldiers' families assisted and made self supporting.
Fifty men were aided in taking up with the government matters pertaining to
allotments, insurance and Liberty Bonds.
Four hundred and twenty-five men were assisted in getting the $60.00 War
Bonus.
The foregoing indicates something of the answer the Holyoke ex- Service
Men's Committee made to the passing need brought about as the result of the close
of the war. At the time this is written the work is progressing to the growing sat-
isfaction of the community. The city of Holyoke has authorized the existence
of the association until the last man is at work again. Holyoke's record in the
World War is one hundred per cent American, and is no less so during these days
of new opportunity. Holyoke is justly proud of all her service men and through
such agencies as the ex-Service Men's Association is endeavoring and with great
success to show her appreciation for the valiant services so faithfully done.

What They Thought of the 26th Division
In glorious fragments of the glorious story of the 26th Division — United States
Army — the "Yankee Division" — New England's Own — "First to Fight" — has, in-
deed, been told. Its brave achievements and the part it plajed in the winning of
victory were too great and too vital long to remain in obscurity. Yet the news as
carried by cable, under the censorship, necessarily was vague and inadequate as to
many particulars. In fact it omitted whole chapters — or the true significance of
whole chapters — of the 26th's career in the fighting in France.
Specifically considered, the series of papers attached comprises no more than
the citations of praise won by the Yankee Division as a whole, by the larger units
of which, at various times, it formed a part, and by the constituent units of the
Division itself. As such, however, it will be found to ofifer a fairly connected story
and at all times a deeply revealing and compelling story of the activities and ex-
ploits of the Division down all the bright but hard-fought and even terrible road of
its travel from the day when, in the middle of March, it left the command of Gen-
eral de Maud'huy of the Eleventh French Army Corps, under whom, for 46 days,
it had been brigaded, and under whom it saw its first actual fighting, on through the
brilliant brushes at Xivray and Seicheprey, and the smashing blows at Chateau-
Thierry, when Foch began the victorious Allied offensive, and the American troops
first became known for their full power, down to the part which the Division
played in the sweeping reduction of the St. Mihiel salient and in operations on the
north of Verdun.
A RECORD RICH IN SIGNIFICANCE.
And if most of the papers are strictly citations, these are not unaccompanied by
orders of the day, by letters and comment of high commanding generals, and by
marginal notations, which richly complete the record. But this record, whether
official or private, is, from beginning to end, a chant of praise, and of praise not
from the American officers only, but also and in particular from the French com-
mand. In this connection it will be admitted that praise from the victors of the
first battle of the Marne, when France stood almost alone against the brunt of the
German forces, to the co-victors of the second battle of the Marne, when France
had all civilization gratefully in arms at her side, is praise, indeed.
In the course of the heroic tale many important new points and much new
contributory evidence are brought out concerning the operations of all the armies.
For instance. General Passaga's order of June IS, suggests very conclusively that
even at that date the Allies' resolve to take the offensive in the near future was al-
ready fixed. And of absorbing interest is the explanation given by General Blodiat,
on October 5, of the fact that, although the American press after the success in the
St. Mihiel sector was full of prognostications, grounded upon the news from the
front, of a tremendous attack upon Metz, no such attack ever developed. As it now
appears, the whole movement toward the big German stronghold was nothing more
or less than a strategic feint.
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 441
PREVIOUS HISTORY OF THE DIVISION.
Before coming at once to the documents themselves, it will, perhaps, be worth
while to pause for but one thing else, and that is a quick review of the movements
of the 26th Division from the days when it was formed, soon after the American
declaration of war, to the date when the narrative of the citations begins. As-
sembled, drilled and roughly prepared in New England, being largely composed,
indeed, of former militia units of the New England States, the Division set sail
for France, under the command of Major-General Clarence R. Edwards, at various
dates during the month of September, 1917. Most of its units were disembarked at
the port of Saint Nazaire, and all were in France by an early day in October.
Immediately after arrival they were assembled southwest of Nancy with head-
quarters at Neufchateau, and there they remained, undergoing all manner of train-
ing and instruction, until February 1, 1918. It was then that they were disposed
along the Toul sector, and brigaded under the command of General de Maud'huy,
as before stated. There they had their initial experience of actual combat, and
there they first met the Boche, although for a time at least parts of the Division
were also posted along the Chemin des Dames.
Shortly before the beginning of the German spring offensive, on March 18,
they were withdrawn to their old training and rest billets near Neufchateau, for
their normal period of relief; but with the onset of Ludendorf's first victorious
rushes in Picardy they were immediately ordered back, after only two or three days
in cantonments, to the active defence of the Toul sector, where they had formerly
been engaged. It was for the period of service concluded just before this unex-
pected incident in the Division's life that General de Maud'huy will be found ex-
pressing his thanks in the first of the official citations which now ensue.
GODSON LEAVES GODFATHER.
The 26th Division, U. S. A., served under General de Maud'huy, whose corps
was a part of the 6th French Army, for 46 days, from the 1st of February, 1918.
The whole Division was in the general's line, distributed throughout his various
divisions, and all had contact with the enemy.

In the course of a powerful raid carried out on June 16, about three o'clock,
against the sector of the 26th American Division, the Germans penetrated the vil-
lage of Xivray, which was evacuated by our combat group; everywhere else they
were thrown back by the determined defence of the occupants, who stuck to their
positions.
Shortly afterwards, a counter-attack, vigorously carried out by elements from
two American battalions, drove the Germans out of Xivray, leaving in our hands
several prisoners, including an officer.
The Commanding General of the Vlllth Army is happy to acknowledge the
fine conduct of the American units in the course of this action; the spirit of init-
iative and general grasp of the situation shown by the decisions of the commanders;
the stubbornness in defending and sharpness in attacking shown by the participants.
The Commanding General of the 32d Army Corps will be so good as to for-
ward the compliments of the Commanding General of the Army to the Command-

1. At the moment that the 26th Division takes up its position on its third sec-
tor in three months it is fitting and proper that the Division commander should
take this opportunity to thank and congratulate the officers and men of the Yankee
Division on the record that they have achieved since the Division actively took its
place in the fighting lines of the Allies for the common cause.
2. You have been taken from a sector where, in three battles, you have shown
that the blood of New England has not attenuated and that the same spirit and
traditions which your forefathers made glorious at Lexington and at Bunker Hill
still survive in the generation which, at Bois Brule, Seicheprey, Humbert Planta-
tion and Xivray have met and defeated the picked troops of the enemy. His four
years of experience in active warfare and the ferocity of his methods have not
daunted you, and on every occasion where you have been called upon to face him
you have distinguished yourself with notable valor and brought credit upon your
Division and upon the people of New England, from which you have come to en-
gage in this righteous conflict.
3. A great honor has been conferred upon the whole Division, in that the
French and American high command has at this time picked your Division to come
into this critical sector. That j'ou have been so hurried to this sector is the evidence
to you all of the opinion of the high command of the mettle of which this Division
is constituted.
4. The past months in battle have brought men and officers into that close
union of confidence and affection which has resulted in the growing morale of this
Division. Looking back on the past four months with its spotless record and
known achievements which have been recognized by both France and America, it is
with unqualified faith in the future and pride of the past that I see the 26th Di-
vision go into a new sector, certain in my conviction that the men of New England
will prove once more that they are capable of every effort and every sacrifice which
the future may demand of them.

DEGOUTTE DESCRIBES CHATEAU-THIERRY.
American Expeditionary' Forces,
France, July 28, 1918.
The following is General Degoutte's marginal comment given to the French
press after the advance of the 26th Division at Chateau-Thierry in the second battle
of the Marne.
If one wants to judge the offensive spirit which animates the Americans and
their tactical methods, one has only to follow in the beginning of our counter-
attack between Chateau-Thierry and Soissons.
It was on the 18th at 4 a. m. that the order to take the first line of German
positions was received. The American division, whose movements we will
relate, was at that time northwest of Chateau-Thierry, in the Bois de Belleau, at
the pivot of the Degoutte army. This division was made up of a division which
took part in the operations of Belleau and Bouresches, and it wanted to distinguish
itself as well as those elite troops. But the divisions placed at the pivot have to
advance slowly, according to the progress made by the wings.
On the very first day it was necessary to moderate the ardor of the Americans,
who would willingly have gone farther than the first objectives. Indeed, at the
signal of the attack, the American troops went with perfect discipline, in rear of
the artillery barrage, to the Torcy-Belleau-Givry line, and the railroad line up to the
Bouresches station. They reached this line in one sweep, almost without meeting
resistance, and, excited by their success, they wanted to go farther.
However, it was necessary, before continuing the general advance, to take
Monthiers and the Petret Wood, still strongly occupied by the Germans. There
was hard fighting on the part of the French troops on the left to annihilate the re-
sistance of the enemy.
In order to relieve them the Americans on the evening of the 20th made ap
enveloping manoeuvre which was crowned with success. With splendid valiance
they went in one sweep as far as Etrepilly height, the Gonetrie Farm and Halmar-
diere. It was a model surprise attack, and it was a revelation of American au-
dacity. Notwithstanding the machine gun barrage and the enemy's islands of re-
sistance, they advanced for two kilometers, capturing three guns, a big minenwerfer
and numerous machine guns. Moreover, two hundred prisoners were taken by the
Americans.
"I could not have done better in a similar occasion with my best troops," com-
mented General Degoutte, upon learning of this fine American success.
The Germans then found themselves in such a disfavorable position in Mon-
thiers that they had to begin a retreat.
On the 21st the whole German line was in retreat, and the Chateau-Thierry-
Soissons highway was reached. The Americans were cleaning the ground and
vigorously pursued the enemy's rear guard.
On the 22d, a battalion (the 102d Machine Gun Battalion) of Americans oc-
cupied Epieds. There was hard fighting in the village, and the enemy opened a
violent barrage fire. The fight was in open country, and on that day it was not
possible to take the village entirely. Rather than to sustain heavy losses, the com-
mander of the American Division preferred to take his troops to the rear. It was
necessary, it the difficulty was to be overcome, to start the surrounding movement
again, and on the 23d the Americans sought to enter the Trugny Wood, south of
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 447
Epieds. The Germans strongly opposed this attempt and counter-attacked with en-
ergy, but they learned at their expense what American tenacity is. Stopped once
in the manoeuvre, the Americans occupied the fringe of the wood on the 24th, en-
tered it deliberately, took a whole company of German pioneers and continued their
advance with such fury that about 3 p. m. they were at the fringe of the Fere
Woods, and on the same evening had reached the road from Fere-en-Tardenois to
Jaulgonne.
This American division has, therefore, realized, in three days an advance of as
much as 17 kilometers at certain points, fighting continuously, night and day, and
displaying the finest military qualities. All the liason services worked perfectly,
both at the right and left wings and between the units of the division. A discipline
which caused the Germans to wonder and admire animated the attacking troops.
They were marching with their officers at the head of the column and their body-
guards on the flanks, as the French troops. The German prisoners were astonished.
"We do not see often those who command us," they declared to their captors ;
"you're lucky ; like the French, you are led to the fight by your officers.'' The
French and American high commands work during the action in as close a harmony
as the troops.
The general commanding the division in question is a leader of men, broad-
minded, precise in his orders, of practical mind, who, from the first moment, dealt
with the problems raised by the operations under way with a mastery which cost
dear to the enemy.
These days from the ISth to the 25th give a new and emphatic proof of what
the alliance of France and the United States can do on a battlefield.

GENERAL ORDERS NO. 67.
To the Officers and Men of the 26th Division:
On July IS you entered, as part of the Allied drive against the enemy, upon
the offensive, and continued the offensive combat until the major portion of the
command was relieved on July 25.
On the assumption of the offensive your position in the line demanded an im-
portant and difficult manoeuvre. Your success in this was immediate and great,
and the way in which you executed it elicited high praise from the French army
commander. The eight days from July 18 to 25, marking the first great advance
against the enemy, in which American troops bore proportionately a considerable
share, are sure of historical setting. Your part therein can never be forgotten. In
those eight days you carried your line as far as any part of the advance was car-
ried, Torcy, Belleau, Givry, the Bouresches Woods, Rochet Woods, Hill 190,
overlooking Chateau-Thierry, Etrepilly, Epieds, Trugny and, finally, Le Fere Woods
and the objective, the JauIgonne-Fere-en-Tardenois road, belong to your arms.
You are the recipient of praise, thanks and congratulations of our commander-in-
chief. You went, unafraid, into the face of the enemy's fire ; you forced him to
448 HoLYOKE In The Great War,
withdraw before you, or to accept the alternative of hand-to-hand combat, in which
you proved 3'ourselves morally and physically his superior ; you gave freely and
gave much of your strength, and of your blood and your lives, until pushed beyond
mere physical endurance, fighting night and day, you still forced yourselves for-
ward, sustained almost by spirit alone.
These things are now part of your own consciousness. Nothing can detract
from them. Nothing that I can say can add to them. But I can testify in this way
to my pride in commanding such troops, so capable of achieving success in every
undertaking ; and this testimony I give to each of you gladly and with deep gratitude.

This order relates to the advance of the 26th, 42nd and 4th Divisions.
P. C, Aug. 9, 1918.
6th Army
GENERAL ORDER.
Before the great offensive of July IS, the American troops forming a part of
the 6th French Armv distinguished themselves by taking from the enemy the Bois
450 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
de la Brigade de Marine and the village of Vaux, stopping his offensive on the
Marne and at Fossoy.
Since then they have taken a most glorious part in the second battle of the
Marne, rivaling the French troops in ardor and gallantry. In twenty days of in-
cessant fighting they liberated numerous French villages and made, over difficult
terrain, an advance of 40 kilometers which carried them beyond the Vesle.
Their glorious advance is marked by names which, in the future, will make
illustrious the military history of the United States : Torcy, Belleau, Plateau of
Etrepilly, Epieds, le Charmel, the Ourcq. Seringes-et-Nesles, Sergy, the Vesle, and
Fismes.
The new divisions, under fire for the first time, showed themselves worthy
of the old fighting traditions of the regular army. They had the same ardent de-
sire to whip the Boche, and that discipline which always insures the carrying out
of orders of their commander, whatever be the difficulties to be overcome, or the
sacrifices to be made.
The magnificent results obtained are due to the energy and skilfulness of their
commanders and to the bravery of the soldiers.
I am proud to have commanded such troops.
The Commanding General of the 6th Army.

Sir:— Your gallant 26th American Division has just set us free.
Smce September, 1914, the barbarians have held the Heights of the Meuse.
have foully murdered three hostages from Mouilly, have shelled Rupt, and, on July
23, 1915, forced its inhabitants to scatter to the four corners of France.
I, who remain at my little listening post upon the advice of my bishop, feel
certain, sir, that I do but speak for Monseigneur Ginisty, Lord Bishop of Verdun,
my parishioners of Rupt, Mouilly and Genicourt, and the people of this vicinity in
conveying to you and your associates the heartfelt and unforgettable gratitude of all.
Several of your comrades lie at rest in our truly Christian and French soil.
Their ashes shall be cared for as if they were our own. We shall cover their
graves with flowers and shall kneel by them as their own families would do, with
a prayer to God to reward with eternal glory these heroes fallen on the field of
honor and to bless the 36th Division and generous America.
Be pleased. Sir, to accept the expression of my profound respect.

THRILLING TRIBUTE FROM GENERAL EDWARDS.
Here follows General Edwards's order of the day, on the activity of the 26th
Division in the St. Mihiel sector:
Headquarters, 26th Division.
American Expeditionary Forces.
France, Sept. 28, 1918.
GENERAL ORDER NO. 82.
To the Twenty-sixth Division:
1. Again it becomes my duty and pleasure to congratulate this Division on
the important part it played in the battle of the St. Mihiel salient, September 12-14,
1918.
Our task was to attack on the historic and hitherto impregnable ground near
Les Eparges, where, in the past, so many thousands of French lives have been
sacrificed.
In front of us the fortifications were manned by Germans, with a No Man's
Land on difficult slopes, churned and pitted by four years of 'shelling and with a
mass of wire and other obstacles from trench to trench.
The three infantry regiments in line, the 101st, the 103d and the 104th, with
the brigade machine gun units, met a determined resistance. The enemy machine
gun fire was intense. The artillery, without daylight registration, did well during
that part of the night allowed for preparation, in cutting breaches through this
mass of wire, which were completed by the infantry before and during the attack.
The determined and effective methods of the infantry in the attack on the
machine gun nests, the deliberate locating of these nests, and the subsequent in-
filtration processes used in overcoming these nests, the bold dashes wherever op-
portunity offered, in one case resulting in the Second Battalion of the 103d Infantry
rushing and capturing a hostile battalion of greater strength, before the enemy
could raise his head; the fine liason and co-operation of the artillery; the expedi-
tion with which followup roads were constructed by the engineers ; the enterprise
of the medical, supply and other auxiliary units — all combined to prove that its
wide service and experience have made this a veteran Division.
I was pleased with all elements of the Division.
2. By dark on the 12th the principal resistance of the enemy had been over-
come. Then came the order to close the gap between our forces on the north
and our troops advancing from the south in order to prevent the escape of the
HoLYOKE In The Great \Yar. 453
enemy from St. Mihiel. Our mission then was to reach Vigneulles hefore daylight,
and there establish contact with troops of our Fourth Corps.
?>. The 102d Infantry, in the Division reserve, which had followed the ad-
vance closely throughout the battle, in readiness for any such emergency, was
ordered to spare neither energy nor blood to accomplish this mission. The whole
Division was pushed forward through the night, the rest of the 51st Infantry Bri-
gade following the dash of the 102d Infantry, and the 52d Infantry Brigade moving
out on the left rear of the 102d Infantry, with the towns on the plain to the north-
west of Hattonchatel, to include St. Maurice, as objectives.
In less than one-half hour after receipt of this order, the 102d Infantry and
the 102d Machine Gun Battalion were on the march, led and inspired by the regi-
mental and battalion commanders in person. They marched over nine kilometers
on the only existing road, through a dense forest, in an unknown and hostile coun-
try, infested with the enemy, losing for the time being liason both to the right and
left. The leading elements, passing through Hattonchatel, reached Vigneulles be-
fore two o'clock in the morning, took complete possession of these two towns by
three o'clock and, pushing out, occupied Creue and Heudicourt, and blocked the
roads leading from the southwest, while sending patrols farther into the plain to
gain control with the American forces coming from the south.
This advance force captured many prisoners, much ammunition, stores of all
kinds, and released many captive civilians from St. Mihiel that the enemy in his
hasty retreat was forced by the 102d Infantry to abandon.
With this advance force were the entire 102d Infantry, three companies of the
102d Machine Gun Battalion from the Division reserve. This last part, abandoning
its motors, marched fourteen kilometers, carrying its guns by hand the entire way.
By morning the whole command had taken possession of all the towns in the
sector of its advance, and was impatient to pursue the enemy across the Hindenburg
line.
4. The towns of St. Remy, Domartin. Thillot, St. Maurice, Billy-sous-les-
Cotes, Vieville-sous-les-Cotes, Hattonchatel, Hannonville, Vigneulles, Crue, Heud-
icourt, Deuxnouds, Wadonville, Avvillers and Butgneville as well as the entire
length of the Grande Tranchee de Calonne, with a gain of fourteen kilometers, be-
long to your arms.
The Division captured about 2,400 prisoners, large stores of supplies and ammu-
nition, horses and motor transportation and about 50 guns.
I am proud of you. You are a shock Division.

quitted itself in a most inspiring manner. The 102d Infantry (Col. Hiram L.
Bearse commanding) was ordered late in the evening to march at once on Vig-
neulles, in order to close the remaining gap between the two attacks.
The regiment marched five miles in darkness through woods, infested with the
enemy, captured 280 prisoners, and completed its mission long before daylight.
The main roads of the salient were cut off, and no more of the enemy could escape.
This fine example of courage and soldierly acceptance of battle conditions is
worthy of emulation. The corps' commander congratulates them and looks forward
with confidence to a continuation of their good work.

GENERAL HENNOCQUE TO GENERAL EDWARDS.
This is an unofficial communication from General Hennocque of the French
Army to the commanding officer of the 26th Division :
Second Cavalry Division (Dismounted Staff).
P. C, Sept. 15, 1918.
My Dear General : — Your letter of September 14 moves me greatly. My divi-
sion and I are very grateful for the congratulations and thanks that you so kindly
sent to us all, and especially to the 8th Cuirassiers. Great is my joy to have been
able to be of service to one of these fine young American divisions which have not
hesitated to leave their homes and to cross the Atlantic to come to our aid in the
destruction of the noxious beast, the Boche.
I am extremely happy to have fought by the side of such a commander as you,
who, by communicating to his agreeable staff and to his troops his own dash, his
optimism and his will to conquer, enabled his gallant division to smash the re-
sistance offered to it on the 12th and 13th of September, and to win a brilliant
victory.
In return, be pleased. General, to accept my most sincere and enthusiastic con-
gratulations upon the occasion of this fine success which, added to the Chateau-
Thierry achievement, is but the first chapter of a famous epic.
Repeating the expression of the deep friendliness I felt for you at the time of
our first meeting and my hope to fight again at your side, I beg you. Sir, to accept
this expression of the most kindly feeling from your devoted "Buck-eye."

THE BRILLIANT FEINT AGAINST METZ.
These letters referred to the activities of the 26th Division in the Troyon sec-
tor, which the 26th Division organized and occupied after the battle of St. Mihiel.
Its two sub-sectors were ''Massachusetts'' and "Connecticut," and its various P. C.'s
were given names of capitals of the States of New England. At the beginning
of the engagement of September 26th, from the Meuse beyond the Argonne, the
role of the 26th Division was to make the Boches believe we purposed to break
through and attack Metz.

1. The following letters are published to the command:
2d Colonial Corps Staff, No. 29,329.
H. Q., October 5, 1918.
From General Blondlat, Commanding 2d Colonial Corps :
To the Commander-in-Chief (through Channels, General Commanding 2d Army).
Subject: Proposition for citation in Army Orders in favor of the 1st Battal-
ion, 102d Regiment of Infantry, U. S.
I have the honor to send you the report which I had the general commanding
the 26th United States Division to make on the very hard and glorious combat
which this Division engaged September 26, 1918.
The 2d Colonial Corps had received orders to carry out extensive raids to at-
tract and fix the attention of the enemy: General Order No. 20, September 20,
1918, of the General Commanding the First United States Army. The 2d Colonial
Corps will hold the front of Bois de Chauffeur inclusive to Mesnil exclusive.
"The 2d Colonial Corps will make a demonstration along its front, launching
artillery bombardment as well as making extensive raids at H hour."
The dimension and duration of the raid executed by the 26th United States
Division certainly deceived the enemy as to our intentions ; the losses suffered by
the troops taking part in this operation were fairly severe, but there is no doubt
that those suffered by the Germans were much more serious.
The spirit of sacrifice and magnificent courage displayed by the troops of the
26th United States Division on this occasion were certainly not in vain; they seem
to be worthy of recompense and praise ; therefore, I directed the general command-
ing this Division to address propositions to me on this subject.
I urgently request that the 1st Battalion of the 102d Infantry be cited in Army
Orders on the following grounds : .
"Picked troops who, trained by Col. Hiram J. Bearse, who led the attack in
the first line, carried out brilliantly and with splendid energy, a particularly deli-
cate operation; engaged battle with a superb dash; won a victory after a violent
combat over an enemy who was both stubborn and superior in numbers, entrenched
in concrete shelters, strongly supported by numerous machine guns and powerful
artillery, and who made use of, in the course of the action, infamous methods of
warfare ; heroically carried out their mission in capturing in heavy fighting a village
where they maintained themselves all day in spite of four enemy counter-attacks,
and thus furnished the finest example of courage, abnegation and self-sacrifice."

At this time when the 26th Division is leaving the zone of the 2d Colonial
Army Corps, I wish to forward to General Edwards and to his gallant Division the
expression of my complete satisfaction, my best wishes for its successes to come,
and my hearty tlianks for the brilliant services in the attack on the St. Mihiel
salient.
Although the 26th Division was only under my orders for a short time, I dis-
covered on the part of all, both officers and men, those qualities of discipline, ardor
and esprit de corps which characterize picked troops.
I thought it but my duty to call to the attention of the French High Command
the fine conduct under fire of your men in the glorious battle of September 26; they
demonstrated once again their high qualities of energy and spirit of sacrifice. I
have requested thit citations be bestowed upon the brave men whose conduct has
been especially reported to me.

General : — The reputation of your Division preceded it here far ahead.
To all its titles of glory gained in fierce struggles and only recently at the sig-
nal of Hattonchatel, it has added on the 23d of October, a page which, perhaps, is
more modest, but still does it great honor
In a few hours, as at a manoeuvre, it has gained all the objectives assigned to
it in the difficult sector of the Woods of Houppy, Etrayes and Belleau.
This operation is evidence, indeed, of superior instruction, mobility and will.

Artillery can desire no higher tribute than the conscious fact it has gained the
confidence, reliance and thanks of the infantry.
2. During more than eight months of fighting service the spirit of loyalty
displayed by every officer and man of the 51st Artillery Brigade towards his duty,
toward the Yankee Division and toward the Division commander has been fine.
3. The record of the 51st Artillery Brigade in the Second battle of the Marne

isy2 kilometers by Chateau-Thierry, and, afterwards in succession two other divi-
sions in the advance from the Marne to the Vesle for a period of 18 days, between

Major Rijan^s Story
Major William P. Ryan, a Holyoke boy, who was City Physician previous to
entering the service, who was with the first army in France, and who saw service
on every front during the war, having been decorated with a Croix de Guerre, with
palms, the Distinguished Service Medal, and cited four times for bravery, told his
story at a Victory Loan rally. He said :
"I have been with the English, with the French, the Portuguese, the Italians
and the Belgians, but the greatest hero, and especially when he was wounded, was
your boy, the American doughboy. There was never a more patient man came to
visit a doctor. He came with a smile, and he never kicked. His only anxiety was
the comfort of his buddy.
"You have two duties which you owe these boys. Many of them are now with
the Army of Occupation in Germany. It costs $200 to bring each boy home. You
furnished the money to bring us all over there, now you must furnish it to bring
us all back home. And you owe it to every man in the United States Army to get
him a job. There is not a soldier that wants charity. He wants work, and it is
up to you to find it for him.
"I do not believe the women of America, especially those who went to France,
have been given credit for the tremendous effort and work they accomplished in
this war. They are just as much heroes as your soldiers, and I hope some day
some writer will record their wondrous record. I cannot too highly testify to the
wonderful work of the Red Cross, Knights of Columbus, Y. M. C. A. and other
organizations that cared for and comforted the soldiers.
460 HoLYOKE Ix The Great War.
"The battle of Catigny took place on May 28, 1917. There was an opening
at this point once for twelve miles. The French, however, held the lines. For
days and days we buried them. They went in 30,000 strong, and came out with
■1,000 men. We could not move around in the daytime, living like ground hogs ;
2nd at night we worked. It was a terrible existence. At last it was decided that
the obstacle must be removed. It was planned by the First Army of the French,
and it was the 26th Division that was to do it. It was a tremendous task. But
nothing was too great for those American boys. The flu was raging, but men
pleaded with me not to send them back to the hospitals, but to let them go on.
"All night before the day of the drive we were nervous, for fear the Germans
knew our plans. The morning of the drive the sun came up, and the scene was
beautiful before the battle started. At 6.4.5 the men went over the top. It was
the first time Americans had gone over. I shall never forget that morning. With
fixed bayonets the men went on behind their own barrage. All one could see
around was smoke, fire and dust, and then the men. Across No Man's Land they
went for a quarter of a mile. Up the hill they went. You would see them fall._
They were only boys, but they went on, and they got there. What had once been
a beautiful town, was a mass of wreckage when the Americans reached there. But
the orders were to keep going, as the objective was outside of the city of Catigny.
And they went on.
"To see your own pals, boys you had known for a long period of time, falling
one by one, can you realize what that means? We went over 1,200 strong; 674 of
us got there. And then we dug in. I never lifted a pick or shovel in my life be-
fore, but you bet I can do a good job now. Night came, and there was no water.
We were all exhausted, having nothing to eat or drink, but we stayed there. In
the morning we were still there ; but now there was only 417 of us. I opened a
hospital for the wounded in one of the dugouts.
"Previous to this battle, the morale of the English had been broken ; the French
were skeptical. We demonstrated to the entire Allied army that we were there,
and we could take our stand side by side with the best Allied troops in Europe.
We demonstrated to the world that trench warfare was not our method of fight-
ing, and that open warfare was the best, and most effective. But to think of those
men who died there, who are now buried over there, your boys, my pals.
"We did not know it for several months, but on that day there were seven
Hun divisions against the one American division, and the Germans were defeated
and forced to retreat.
"But to pass by the other fights, and to come to the end ; the day the war was
over. What a thought, that no more men were to be killed, and no additional suf-
fering. The reaction was too great to speak of. We were under a strain all the
way, working on our nerves.
"When the armistice was signed, we knew there were millions back in America
ready to come over, and that even if we died there were many to take our places,
and that in the end the Allies would win the war. But it was a wonderful feeling
to know that it was unnecessary for those millions to come over.
"We then walked into Germany, 700 kilometers, in 35 days. It meant hiking
from four o'clock in the morning until eight o'clock at night. The proudest mo-
ment of my life was when I crossed the bridge, and took my watch on the right
bank of the Rhine at Coblenz. That was last December. The men with the Army
of Occupation in Germany want to get home, as we wanted to get home, and no
man who has not been over there can appreciate what it means to get out of that
hell and back in the good old United States again, the best land in the world."
Petty Officer Hunter^s Story
Petty Officer Williarrt Hunter, a member of the crew of the S. S. President
Lincohi, which was torpedoed and sunk, vividly told the story of the fate of the
transport, as follows :
"We had left Brest on May 29, 1917, after landing 5,000 troops. It was our
fifth trip, and we had brought over 25,000 troops in all. We were convoyed out
of the harbor by four destroyers, who stayed with us until sundown of the next
day, when they went away to meet some incoming convoys. We awoke the next
morning to find ourselves outside the danger zone, and we congratulated ourselves
that we would finish another successful voyage; but we were doomed to disappoint-
ment, and some of the crew never reached America's shores again.
"It was 8 :55 in the morning, and I was in the pay office when I heard two
terrific explosions right in succession. We all grabbed life preservers and went to
our stations. The order was given to be on the lookout for a third torpedo. The
two had struck the ship almost at once. We saw the third one coming. It smashed
one of the lifeboats, and the flying splinters killed several men. The captain then
ordered an investigation to see if the ship could be kept afloat. It was a 19,000-
ton ship, nearly 650 feet long, with a beam of 75 feet. They had made sure work
with their third torpedo, however, and it was not long before it was determined
that the ship could not be saved. Orders were given, and each sailor went to his
particular duty. I was assigned to lowering life rafts.
"W'e had 25 sick soldiers aboard, and we put them in the lifeboats tirst. The
v/ater began coming over the main deck. I decided it was time to leave, and
jumped into the water, being fortunate enough to come up close to a life raft,
which I boarded. By this time everj-one was off the ship with the exception of the
captain, one of the officers and the wireless operator, who stuck to his post, send-
ing out liis S. O. S. signal. He finally made a leap from the highest part of the
ship, and was picked up by a life raft. We were all on our stomachs paddling
with our hands, as we had no oars, and were anxious to get as far away from the
sinking ship as possible, lest we be sucked in when the boat went down.
"The yell went up, 'There she goes,' when the ship took a lift and went down.
It was exactly 18 minutes from the time she was struck that the ship went under.
There was one funny incident which really drew a laugh, even then. The chaplain
of the ship was on a raft with a Bible in his hand. He said to the boys, 'Don't give
up, the Lord is with us,' and one fellow shouted back, 'Well, if he is give him an
oar.' For 25 minutes we floated around, and then we saw what we thought w^as a
sailboat, but it proved to be the U-boat that sank our ship. It came in and out
among the rafts looking for the captain, whom they did not find, because, as we
learned later,* he had changed into a seaman's uniform. They took our lieutenant
and made him prisoner. For two hours they sailed round, offering no aid. and then
submerged and were gone."
At 1.30 o'clock in the afternoon, four and a half hours after the appearance
of the submarine, two American destroyers hove in sight and picked up the crew.
The Comrade in White
Strange tales have reached us lately in the trenches. Rumors have been going
the rounds along the three-hundred-mile lines stretched from Switzerland to the
sea. We were unable to find the source of them or the truth of them. They came
quickly and went quickly.
Yet somehow I still remember the hour that George Casey turned to me with
a queer look in his blue eyes and asked if I had seen the "Friend of the wounded."
He then told me all he knew regarding this strange person. After many a hot en-
gagement a man in white had been seen bending over the wounded. Snipers sniped
at him. Shells fell all around him, but nothing seemed to have power enough to
touch him. He was either heroic beyond all heroes or was something greater still.
This mysterious person whom the French called "The Comrade in White," seemed
to be everywhere at once. At Nancy, at Ypres ; everywhere at Soissons men were
talking about him with hushed voices.
But some laughed and said that the trenches were beginnuig to tell on men's
nerves. As for myself, seeing is believing, and I didn't expect anything but the
enemy's knife if I fell wounded on the battlefield.
It was the very next day that things got lively on the front. Our big guns
roared from sunrise to sunset, and began again in the morning. At noon we re-
ceived orders to take the trenches in front of us. They were two hundred yards
away, and we hadn't scarcely got started when we were well aware of the fact that
the big guns had failed in their work of preparation. It needed a stout heart to
go on, but not a man in our lines faltered.
We advanced one hundred and fifty yards when we discovered it was of no
use to continue. Our captain immediately issued orders for us to take cover, and
a few moments later he was shot through both legs. By God's mercy he fell into
a hole of some sort, probably having fainted at the time.
When he came to he was all alone, and suffering terrible pain and agony. He
did not dare move, however, for fear the enemy might see him. They were only
fifty yards away at the time, and he didn't expect any mercy. There were men in
our own company who would have risked their lives if they had known there was
a comrade in danger.
Night fell upon us, and soon I heard a step, not stealthfully, as I expected,
but quiet and firm, as if neither darkness nor death could check those untroubled
feet. So little did I guess what was coming that even when I saw the gleam of
white light in the darkness, I thought it was a peasant in a white smock or per-
haps a woman deranged. Suddenly a little shiver of joy or fear, I don't know
which, passed over me. I guessed it was the "Comrade in White," and at that verj'
moment the enemy's rifles began to shoot. The bullets could scarcely miss an inch
of a target, for he flung out his arms as though in an entreaty, and then drew
them back till he stood like one of those wayside crosses that we saw so often as
we marched through France, and as he spoke the words sounded so familiar. All
I remember was the beginning: "If thou hadn't known," and the ending, "but
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 463
now they are hid from thine eyes." And then he stooped and gathered me into
his arms, the biggest man in the regiment, and carried me as if 1 had been a child.
I must have fainted again, for I regained consciousness in a little cave by a
stream, and the "Comrade in White" was washing my wounds and binding them
up. It seems foolish to say it, for I was in a terrible pain, but I was happier at
that moment than ever I remember to have been in all my life before. I can't
explain it, but it seemed as if all my life I had been awaiting this without knowing
it, as long as the hand touched and those eyes pitied me.
I didn't seem to care any more about sickness or health, about life or death,
and while he swiftly removed every trace of blood and mire I felt as if my whole
nature were being washed, as if all the grime and soil of sin were going and as if
I were once more a little child.
I suppose that I slept, for when 1 awoke this strange feeling had gone. I was
a man again, and I wanted to know whdt 1 could do for my friend to help him or
to serve him. He was looking towards the stream and his hands were clasped in
prayer. Then I discovered that he, too, had been wounded. I could see, as it
were, a shot wound in his hand, and as he prayed a drop of blood gathered and fell
to the ground. I cried out. I could not help it, for that wound of his seemed to
me a more awful thing than any that bitter war had shown me.
"You are wounded, too," I said, faintly. Perhaps he heard me, perhaps it was
to look upon my face, but he answered gently, "This is an old wound, but it has
troubled me of late." And then I noticed sorrowfully that the same cruel mark
was on his feet. You will wonder that I did not know sooner. 1 wonder, myself.
But it was only when I saw his feet that I knew him.
"The Living Christ," I had heard the chaplain speak of Him a few weeks be-
fore. But now I knew that He came to me — to me who had put Him out of my
life in the hot fervor of my youth. I was longing to speak and thank Him, but no
words came. Then He rose swiftly and said, "Lie here today by the waters. I
v/ill come for you tomorrow. I have work for you to do, and you will do it for
me."
In a moment He was gone. And while I wait for Him I write this down that
I may not lose the memory of it. I feel weak and lonely and my pain increases,
but I had His promise and I know that He will come for tomorrow. — Taken from
a collection of stories written by W. H. Leathem.
Trip Across the Pond
Rev. Robert Russell Wicks, pastor of the Second Church, who went to France
to do Red Triangle work among the English troops, wrote some interesting letters
while on board ship enroute for England. These letters were dated April 28th and
May 6th, 1918. Extracts of the letters follow :
"It is Sunday afternoon, the third day out. I feel that I have caught enough
of the spirit of this strange voyage to begin to put it down on paper. Chief care
464 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
must be to write nothing which will incline a censor to destroy a letter, so I can-
not now tell you just when I sailed or by what boat. I cannot let you know where
I land or what route the ship has taken. We ourselves do not know where we are
from day to day, because no chart is posted with the usual description of the day's
run. Suflfice it to say on this point of the sailing that I never have had a more
comfortable voyage. Our boat is not large, but very steady. She is clean, with
plenty of deck room, roomy and well equipped cabins, and, in fact, with all the
comforts of a regular ocean steamer. To be sure we do not have heat, but our
clothes are so warm that we do not miss it. Likewise we have no stewards, but
we can take good care of our own rooms and our own men look after us at table.
Meals are good, served in jig time by men who want to get through their work and
out on deck. The result is that the various courses overlap and form a continu-
ous stream of food extending from the opening mouthful to the last. One man at
the corner of our table takes our orders in one lump, so that the steward never
has to wait for personal decisions. The fact is, no decisions are necessary, for we
take everything on the menu from beginning to end. /
"I wish that I could convey to you, for your own comfort of mind, the sense
of perfect safety which we have on board. We are looked after in such a way that
we would have no fear of being dropped overboard anywhere, and we would be
inclined to send word to the Kaiser that it would be useless to send any U-boats
out to meet us. I have exactly the same feeling that I would have aboard a ferry-
boat on the Hudson river, crossing from 23rd street to the Hoboken station. Our
passenger list is made up entirely of Y. M. C. A. people, about 150 in all. They
are the most extraordinary mixture imaginable. Yesterday each one told his name,
place of living and occupation. There were men from almost every state in the
Union, and from every conceivable walk in life, teachers, ministers, lawyers, sales-
men, mechanics, entertainers, moving pictu/e directors, bankers, manufacturers, etc.
They are going over for almost every kind of service. We have the doctor and
the dentist who are to look after the Y. M. C. A. folks in France; they are both
most satisfactory. At our table we have a doctor from Rochester, a Methodist
minister from Iowa, a professor from Chicago University, and one or two others
whose history is not known. Naturally, in such a group of workers, there are
many singers, etc.. which makes it possible to have delightful concerts each night
at 8 o'clock. But I will leave until later the description of my fellow passengers.
We have almost two weeks ahead of us for further acquaintance.
"This is the second installment of my ship letter. We are now 11 days out,
with considerable more to go. There are no events to write about, for one day fol-
lows another with delicious monotony. Two days of rain gathered all our bad
days into themselves. The other days have been glorious. We have had consid-
erable wind and huge ground swells, so that we are kept rocking and pitching con-
stantly. But I never have a qualm. Never in my life have I felt so rested, so per-
fectly fit physically. The daily exercise at 8.30 a. m. and 4 p. m. are just what one
needs, after one has recovered from the first soreness.
"I trust this long dissertation on submarines will help you to feel the same de-
lightful indifference to the menace which is characteristic in our life out here.
Our chief concern is not submarines, but food. It has become a standing joke of
the ship that the cook is an artist in the profession of spoiling food. Here is all
lliis precious food which America has tried so hard to save, brought out here to be
--cientifically spoiled. There is not a taste that is recognizable or civilized. Now
and then we have ham and eggs (singular), which is the only dish on board with
the faintest suggestion of home. The coffee is best described by the facetious re-
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 465
mark of one of our tablemates after taking his sip this morning: 'Please give me
some cod liver oil to take this taste out of my mouth.' In the true English fashion
we have meat thrust upon us at all meals. You simply cannot dodge it, for the
only alternative to meat is worse than meat. Tripe is a frequent visitor at our
table, but it never yet has been able to win any support. Recently we have ac-
quired one of those casters full of bottles containing oil, mustard, Worcestershire
sauce, etc. This has been a great boon, for we can make things so hot that they
burn out their own taste as they go down. From henceforth we are safe. Aaron
and I have had one resource which has kept us from starvation. Just before leav-
ing New York I managed to purchase four boxes of graham crackers. These are
hidden in our stateroom, and each evening after dinner we open a box and eat to
our heart's content. In the last few days we have yielded to a long resisted temp-
ti'tion and are devouring one of two boxes of maple sugar which we had planned
to take over to the French children. When we feel badly over our fall we look
bravely at the two boxes of 'Page & Shaw,' which we were virtuously preserving
along with the remaining box of maple sugar. Oh, how we would like to find a
well-stocked larder ! But it is great fun nevertheless. Everyone is making such a
game of the food problem that we would really miss half the enjoyment of the
voyage if we had food that would go down without comment.
"Just a word about some of our fellow passengers. They are classified in many
ways. For instance, there are the genial southerners, with their delicious accent;
and there are the burly westerners with tlie swagger and the loudness in their way ;
and there are the quiet easterners, who open up with difficulty. And side by side
are the cultivated and the rough, the bold and the reserved, men of business and
men of the professions. Unfortunately, our spiritual leader has not measured up
to his task. He seems to have more of an idea of looking out for number one than
for utilizing this wonderful opportunity to mold the spirit of 150 men. We have
grown very fond of Dr. Hoken, a professor from Chicago, of whom I have already
spoken. He has a wonderful mind. We have had many good tdks together about
theological and social subjects on which we are quite agreed. Last night we had
such a struggle to get down the dinner we invited him to our cabin for a maple
sugar feast. It was as good as a trip home for him.
"I have told you about some of our entertainers. There is one other man who
is not intentionally an entertainer, but who is the best in the lot of us. He is a
Dr. R. of Philadelphia. We truly love him, and so we can enjoy his delicious pe-
culiarities. He is distinctly one of the elite, and hugely enjoys being so. We gather
that he is some kind of a lecturer, chiefly to women's clubs in the East ; and we
judge that he has been made a little clubgod. He is so neat and nifty, speaks so
fluently with great fitness. I would walk a mile to hear him say 'absolutely' and
his English 'been' (b-e-a-n) is decidedly au fait. When he utters the word Phil-
adelphia he makes respectability fairly drip from every syllable. And he loves to
talk about his lectures and the people he knows. 'You, of course, know Mrs. Hob-
nob; she is one of the most prominent of the social set in Philadelphia.' We look
wise and grunt, just to keep him moving, tor if he thought we were unacquainted
he would go off on a tanget to give the various relatives and connections of Mrs.
Hobnob and infinitum. Really, it is the richest thing you ever heard. He is so
blissfully unconscious of the amusement he is causing. I wish Thackeray could
have a chance at him. Perhaps this delicious character could be summed up best
in his remark: 'It is the fashion to attend my lectures in Scranton.'
"The best men on the boat are not so interesting to write about because it is
so much easier to describe ridiculous peculiarities than it is to picture virtues.
30
466 HoLYOKE In The Great War.
Aaron is a wonderful companion, and wears well. He is as thorough a Christian
as one can meet. We stick together like lifelong chums ; so much that we have
been dubbed the twins, or the 'little minister and his deacon.' This relationship (I
mean our church relationship) was made known in a touching little speech which
Aaron made at the testimony meeting Sunday. He said that he had several reasons
for going into the Y work, patriotic, religious, etc., but he continued, 'when I saw
my old college friend and my present pastor leave a great work and a devoted fam-
ily I felt that my place was beside him.' We could not get along without each
other now. When we have a touch of homesickness, we retreat to our cabin, take
out our family pictures and talk about home.
"Today we put in a petition for raw onions which we knew were in the store-
room, and were told we could have them if we peel and cut them up. We were
iiot to be beaten that way, so six of us set to with knives and peeled until we felt
sore. As a result dinner was a feast of onion sandwiches.
"This must end this letter. Will keep it open to add any detail of the next
days concerning our safe arrival on shore. I am in London, as you will see by
the postmark. We had considerable excitement the last two days. Reports in a
paper here say that the two submarines which were after our convoy were both
sunk — we do not know. We saw nothing, but heard plenty of firing in the great
hunting game. Seas were so calm that we could have been taken oS without trou-
ble. The boat just before us with Y. M. C. A. was submarined with no loss of life.
You have no idea how good the green of this country looks to us. We fairly leap
for joy at the sight of it. I cannot describe anything about our landing, etc.
"I might say just a word about Sunday. It was a beautiful day without and
within. We had services morning and evening, with Dr. Rust speaking in the
morning, and your humble servant in the evening. The testimonies after these
services are extraordinary illustrations of the religious effect of this kind of service
upon men from ordinary callings. Some of the men have had a real conversion
from the respectable, easy-going life to a life of complete sacrifice. One man from
the south said that he had a peculiar reason for coming. His father had been a
Confederate soldier and had fought with Lee all through the war. When the war
was over he took his son upon his knee and said, 'I am glad the Confederacy lost,
for we need a united country. If the time ever comes when you have a chance to
pay back your country for what I have done, take it' Now the chance had come,
and the man said, 'I am going, first, for God ; second, for my country, and, third,
to pay back for father.' Most striking in all the confessions is the assertion of a
willingness to do anything that is asked. Business men, bankers, professors, me-
chanics, etc., all are down on one level, dominated by one desire to serve.
"Possibly I could best use this letter for summing up impressions that have
been gathering. First, of course, there are the impressions of the submarine
menace. We are now just entering the danger zone, and the interest is growing
apace. Strangely enough, one has not the slightest fear or anxiety about the mat-
ter, and yet we talk over the details and make ready to leave the ship just as if we
were actually going on a pleasure trip. At night we sleep in most of our clothes,
set aside the blanket and coat we are allowed to carry, have our flashlight under
our pillow and our life preservers laid out in a row. Boat drills in the daytime
are a regular game for everybody. We are now drilled to the point where, upon
a sudden sounding of the gong, we can secure our life preservers and be at the
boats in less than three minutes. Yesterday all the lifeboats were lowered to the
rail, fitted out with 10 days' rations, a sail, blankets, and all the comforts of home.
Ten people are supposed to climb in at the rail. After the boat is lowered into

the water the other 10 remaining on deck are to slide down ropes which are swung
from the davits. This morning there appeared on deck piles of huge logs about
the size of telegraph poles, fastened together in three. These simply lie on the deck
and in case of trouble are supposed to float off when the ship sinks. Under the
conditions one would not have to be in the water long before being picked up. At
night complete darkness reigns. We grope about the deck without a glimmer to
guide us. Before we enter a cabin we must knock, in order that the person within
can turn out the light. Shutters and towels are drawn over windows. Even cigar-
ettes and cigars are prohibited on deck at night. Last niglit Aaron and I went up
on the top deck to feel the glory of a wild night at sea. It was pitch dark, a
furious wind was blowing from the north, kicking up a sea which made the old
boat rock and shiver from stem to stern. We joked about the joy of being put out
in that sea in small boats. When we awoke this morning the sea had calmed down.
The best jest so far on the submarine matter came from a man who asked the cap-
tain, at the close of a meeting for information, if. in case of accident, it would be
wise to. wear rubber boots. The poor fellow has not heard the last of it."

The necessary expenses in connection with the work of the various committees
was provided for through the Finance Committee. Citizens contributed tOAvard a
fund for this purpose.
The Manufacturers' Committee formulated plans by which the different mills in
the city introduced the sale of stamps to their employers with good success.
The Schools Committees report shows the astonishing results gained by inspir-
ing the scholars with ideas of thrift and their patrotic duty to their country.
Under the guidance of the Merchants' Committee many stores took up the sale
of the stamps.
As in the other cities of the state the great work for War Savings devolved
upon the women.
During the week of June 24, the Women's Committee, Mrs. Walter C. Hatch,
chairman, undertook a campaign to secure 16,000 pledges to luiy War Savings
Stamps.
Some si.x hundred women were enlisted as canvassers under the following
leaders :
HoLYOKE In The Great War. 469
Ward 1. Mrs. Napoleon Chevalier, Mrs. Mitchell Hart, Mrs. John Mochley,
Mrs. Joseph Smith.
Ward 2. Mrs. Emma Corriveau, Mrs. La Fountain.
Ward 3. Mrs. W. W. Cleveland, Mrs. N. P. Avery, Mrs. Charles Koegel, Mrs.
Roy Hunger.
Ward 4. Mrs. L. J. Lamberton.
Ward 5. Mrs. Frank McTigue, Mrs. James F. Mullen.
Ward 6. Miss Florence Henderson, Mrs. J. J. McCabe.
Ward 7. Mrs. J. N. Hubbard, Mrs. E. C. Weiser, Mrs. Joseph CoUingwood.
Mrs. Benjamin Gold organized the Jews of the city, and Mrs. T. J. Morrow
and Mrs. Dunn canvassed the Nonotuck.
To assist the women a Limit Club Committee to secure individual pledges for
$1,000 was appointed as follows :
A. J. Osborne. J. A. Skinner. E. X. White. F. B. Towne, T. S. Childs, T. F.
McSherry, E. H. Parmalee. Mrs. J. J. Finn, Mrs. H. B. Lawrence, Mrs. G. C. Rob-
ert>, ^Irs. N. P. Avery, Mrs. W. G. Dwight.
As a result of their appointment over one hundred pledges to the limit were se-
cured.
The house to house canvass resulted as follows : 23,121 pledges were received,
and it is estimated that 2.5,000 Holyokers were brought into line for War Savings
Stamps. There was some discrepancy in figures owing to difficulties that pre-
vented exact account of factory pledges. The work as carried out by the women
commanded the respect and admiration of all in that the quota of 16,000 pledges was
fifty per cent oversubscribed.
In the latter part of the year E. H. Parmalee of the Metropolitan Life Insu-
rance Company, with his staff of workers, organized in the mills of the city one
hundred and thirty-five War Savings Societies, having their distinctive constitutions,
pledges and badges. Through the Metropolitan agency during the year over $213.-
000.00 worth of stamps were sold.
The total sales for the city as reported by the Holyoke Post Office amounted to
$.-)4]. 486.00.

Council of National Defense
The Council of National Defense was created under an act of Congress, ap-
proved August 29, 1916 ; and in the same act authority was granted for the creation
of an Advisory Commission of seven persons to act with, under, and by the author-
ity of the Council. (For membership and organization see below.)
In the terms of the act the Council was, among other things, charged with the
"co-ordination of industries and resources for the national security and welfare,"
and with the "creation of relations which will render possible in the time of need
the immediate concentration and utilization of the resources of the Nation."
In performing its functions the Council was further charged with the following
duties :
1. To supervise and direct investigation, and make recommendations to the
President and the heads of executive departments as to —
(a) The location of railroads with reference to the frontier of the United
States, so as to render possible expeditious concentration of troops and supplies to
points of defense.
(b) The co-ordination of military, industrial, and commercial purposes in the
location of extensive highways and branch lines of railroads.
((-) The utilization of waterways.
(d) The mobilization of military and naval resources for defense.
(c) The increase of domestic production of articles and materials essential
to the support of armies and of the people during the interruption of foreign
commerce.
(/j The development of seagoing transportation.
{g) Data as to amounts, location, method, and means of production and avail-
ability of military supplies.
(/i) The giving of information to producers and manufacturers as to the
class of supplies needed by the military and other services of the Government, the
requirements relating thereto, and the creation of relations which will render pos-
sible in time of need the immediate concentration and utilization of the resources
of the Nation.
2. To report to the President or to the heads of executive departments upon
special inquiries or subjects appropriate thereto.
3. To submit an animal report to Congress, through the President, giving as
full a statement of the activities of the Council and the agencies subordinate to it
as is consistent with the public interest, including an itemized account of the ex-
penditures made by the Council or authorized by it, in as full detail as the public
interest will permit, providing, however, that when deemed proper the President
may authorize, in amounts stipulated by him, unvouchered expenditures and report
the gross so authorized not itemized.

HoLYOKE In The Great War. 475
The Council of National Defense decided on July 28, with the approval of the
President, to create a small body to be known as the War Industries Board. The
War Industries Board, in addition to other duties, assumed those formerly dis-
charged by the General Munitions Board. The new board was composed of seven
members, working under the direction and control of the Council of National De-
fense and responsible through it to the President. Its members were direct repre-
sentatives of the Government and of the public interests. It was composed of
F. A. Scott, chairman; Lieut. Col. Palmer E. Pierce, representing the Army; Rear
Admiral Frank F. Fletcher, representing the Navy; and Mr. Hugh Frayne, Mr.
B. M. Baruch, Mr. Robert S. Brookings, and Mr. Robert S. Lovett.
The board acted as a clearing house for the war-industry needs of the Govern-
ment, determined the most effective ways of meeting them, and the best means and
methods of increasing production, including the creation or extension of industries
demanded by the emergency; the sequence and relative urgency of the needs of the
different Government services, and considered price factors, and, in the first in-
stance, the industrial and labor aspects of problems involved, and the general ques-
tions affecting the purchase of commodities.
Of this board, Mr. Baruch gave his attention particularly to raw materials,
Mr. Brookings to finished products, and Mr. Lovett to matters of priority. These
three members, in association with Mr. Hoover, so far as foodstuffs were involved,
constituted a commission to arrange purchases in accordance with the general pol-
icies formulated and approved.
The Council of National Defense and the Advisory Commission continued
unchanged and discharged the duties imposed upon them by law. The committees
heretofore created immediately subordinate to the Council of National Defense,
viz, labor, transportation and communication, shipping, medicine and surgery, wom-
en's defense work, co-operation with State Councils, research and inventions, engi-
neering and education, commercial economy, administrations and statistics, and
inland transportation, continued their activities under the direction and control of
the Council. Those whose work was related to the duties of the War Industries
Board co-operated with it. The sub-committees advising on particular industries
and materials, both raw and finished, heretofore created, also continued in ex-
istence, were available to furnish assistance to the War Industries Board.
The purpose of this action was to expedite the work of the Government, to
furnish needed assistance to the departments engaged in making war purchases, to
devolve clearly and definitely the important tasks indicated upon direct representa-
tives of the Government not interested in commercial and industrial activities with
which they were called upon to deal, and to make clear that there was total disso-
ciation of the industrial committees from the actual arrangement of purchases on
behalf of the Government. It lodged responsibility for effective action as definitely
as was possible under existing law. It did not minimize or dispense with the splen-
did service which representatives of industry and labor had so unselfishly placed at
the disposal of the Government.
