FOREWORD
Volume after volume has been, and is being written,
telling the part America had in the Great World war.
Every American citizen worthy of the name rejoices when
he contemplates the achievements of this country in the
conflict which forever put an end to Prussianism and the
theory of the divine right of kings.
As great as is our pride in the things accomplished by
our beloved country, it is but natural that our greatest in-
terest should be in the part our own county had in the Great
war. During the time the battles of the war were still in
progress, and the boys of America were steadily marching
on to victory, we anxiously scanned the papers each day
for news concerning the work of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces, and when we happened to see something
telling of the work of boys from Iowa, and particularly
from Jasper County, our interest instantly became all the
greater. For we naturally were interested in what our own
boys were doing.
It is for the purpose of telling the achievements of the
bovs and Jasper County workers in the Great World con-
flict that this book is published. We can now look back at
the record of Jasper County in every war enterprise and
point with pride at the things that were done in helping to
bring the war to a successul conclusion. Whether the call
was for men, money, or Red Cross workers, it mattered
not, Jasper County people were loyal, and they dropped all
interest of a private nature and devoted their entire time
and energy to winning the war.
For this reason, therefore, it is thought that a book such
as this will prove to be of vital interest to every individual
who takes pride in the work Jasper County did in bringing
the former emperor of Germany to realize that there is in-
deed a greater partnership than "me unt Gott".

CAPTAIN JAMES NORMAN HALL
Colfax, Iowa
The fortunes of war are so diversified and so uncertain that it is indeed difficult to
:ct or foresee what the future has in store for one soldier over another.
To at least one Jasper County man the gods of fate both smiled and frowned and pro-
lite of adventure and history making experience that seldom falls to the lot of any
one individual. Captain James Norman Hall of Colfax, Iowa, in point of service, stands
• : a- Jasper County's premier soldier in the late world war. To Captain Hall was af-
forded the unique experience of serving under the colors of three of the great allied nations
in the war against German autocracy — England, France, and when his own country entered
tl - war, he immediately transferred his endeavors under the Stars and Stripes.
In civil life Captain Hall was a newspaper correspondent and contributed many arti-
es to several well known American magazines. The Captain was sojourning in England
at the time Germany, under the leadership of her former kaiser and emperor. Wilhelm II,
■undertook the conquest of the world. When Great Britain called her sons to the colors,
Mr. Hall, though an American citizen, immediately "joined up," and on August 18, 1914,
enlisted as a private at the Horseguards Parade, London, in the Ninth Battalion, Royal
Fusiliers. He trained for a period of nine months in various camps in England, and was
ordered into active service in France on May 30. 1915.
Mr. Hall served with the British Expeditionary Forces in France as a lance corporal,
in charge of a machine gun section, from May 30, 1915, until November 24. 1915, on
which date he was given an honorable discharge from the British army. Mr. Hall was
given his discharge ostensibly because of being an American citizen, but actually because of
the serious illness of his father. Mr. A. W. Hall, at Colfax, Iowa.
Mr. Hall returned to the United States in December. 1915, and remained at his home
in Colfax untii his father's health had improved sufficiently to allow him to return to Eng-
land, which he did in July, 1916, expecting to reenlist in the British army. Mr. Hall
found, however, that it was possible to enlist in France in the Lafayette Flying Corps as an
aviator in the French service. On October 13, 1916, he enlisted in the Lafayette Flying
Corps, and after six months of training, was sent to the front as a pilot' in the Lafayette
Escadrille, a squadron of American volunteer airmen, attached to a French Combat Group.
Captain Hall was wounded in an aerial combat on June 26, I'll 7. and spent the fol-
lowing two and one-half months in a hospital. Following recovery from his wounds, Cap-
tain Hall returned to the front in September, 1°!7. Upon returning to the front the sec-
ond time he served with the French from September, 1917, until February 7. 1918. upon
which date Mr. Hall accepted his commission as captain in the United States Air Service.
He remained with the Lafayette squadron, which became the 103rd American Pursuit
Squadron on February 18, 1018, until March 29, 1918, at which time Captain Hall was
sent as flight commander to the 94th Pursuit Squadron, U. S. A.
Captain Hall served with the 94th Squadron until May 7, 1918, upon which date he
was shot down behind the German lines, at Pagny-sur-Moselle, France, breaking both an-
kle* and his nose in the fall. He remained a prisoner in Germany from that date until
the signing of the armistice on November 11, 1918, and shortly afterward was released.
Captain Hall was honorably discharged from the service on March 10, 191''
approximately tour years of military service.
It was during Captain Hall's service in the British army that he wrote his famous
book. "Kitchener's Mob," one of the most wideh read hooks dealing with the war ever
published.

The first Red Cross organization in the county was the chapter at Colfax which
came into existence within a few- weeks after the United States entered the World
War. The jurisdiction of this chapter included the eit\ ot Colfax and Washington
and Poweshiek Townships. Organization was completed May 24, 1917.
At the same time, Miss Helen Needles, then school nurse at Newton, and who
afterward saw service in France and Italy, was heading a movement at Newton to
organize a chapter to cover the remainder of the county. On May 3, 1917, she re
ceived from the Central Division at Chicago acknowledgment of the receipt of a list
ot thirteen names as charter members ot the chapter, and an expression of hope that
tin- organization would in time grow into a national asset. Results more than justified
the hope. A certificate recognizing the Jasper County Chapter, as this main organiza-
tion was called, was issued from Washington, I >. C, on June 1, 1017.
1 he two chapters operated as separate organizations during the war, but were united
into one chapter covering the whole county at the annual meeting for 1918, held after
the signing of the armistice.
During the war period, branches ot the Colfax Chapter were organized at Mingo
and Valeria. Branches of the Jasper Countj Chapter were organized at Ashton Chapel
in Clear Creek Township, at Baxter, at Bethel Chapel in Richland Township, at
Center- Victor school districts in Rock Creek Township, at Buena Vista Grange in
Buena Vista Township, at Galesburg, at Ira. Killduff, Kellogg, Lynnville, Monroe,
Newburg, Prairie City, Reasnor, and Sully. Auxiliaries were also organized at Wit-
temburg, and in Palo Alto Township.
During the war period, the work of the organization all over the county was along
definite and uniform lines. The principal lines ot work were the production ot sur-
gical dressings, the making of hospital supplies, including many articles of comfort for
the soldiers in the field and for the relief of destitute civilians abroad ; financial and
other aid to soldiers in the service and their families; and the raising ot large funds for
use b\ the central authorities ot the organization tor the relief of suffering in the arm)
and among civilians in the war zone. County wide membership campaigns were con-
ducted, ami the organization also did great local sen ice during the first influenza epi-
demic. The branch at Newton, during that epidemic, organized, financed, and oper-
ated a hospital at a total expense of approximately $6000.00. The collection and ship-
ping ot old clothes for foreign relief was conducted over most of the count) by other
organizations under the supervision of Mrs. 1'. N. Grimes. The principal committees
through which the work was done both at chapter headquarters and in the branches
were K\" utive, Wavs and Means, Hospital Supplies, Surgical Dressings, and Home
The first war fund campaign and the me
nbership campaigns

organization over the county built up by th
• Red Cross itself.

Local branches also conducted special campaigns for the raising of local funds. At
Newton, pledges were made generally
amount monthly until the close of the
this way.
•Aside from the soliciting ot funds, practically all the active productive work of the
organization in the county was done hy the women. A complete list of those who did
this work would be a roll call of the women of the county. They also assisted mate-
rially in all financial campaigns, but the burden of this end of the work was carried by
the men of the county. John Ruskin once vr dow n a truth that holds good for all time :
"You cannot think that this buckling on of the knight's armour hy hi- lady'- hand was
mere caprice ot romantic fashion: it is the type ot an eternal truth: that the soul's
armour is never well set to the human heart unless a woman's hand has braced it, and
it is onl\ when she braces it loosely that the honor of manhood fails."
A Junior Red Cross organization was also perfected over the county and included in
its membership practically every school child in the count). The principal credit for
the work of organizing and managing the juniors is due to th; teachers of the county
under the leadership of the County Superintendent, who was also chairman of the
School Committee.
The highest number of members belonging to the Jasper County Chapter at any one
time was 9,138. The highest number belonging to the Colfax Chapter at any one
time was 952. This means a great main more than one member for each famih in
the county.

The money raised by the Jasper County Chapter was as follows:
First War Fund Campaign $11,755.56
Second War Fund Campaign 24,806.76
Membership Campaign, 1918 9,719.01
Membership Campaign, 1919, approximate 2,500.00
Miscellaneous contributions, including membership re-
ceived outside of special campaigns 35,714.24
Total, $84,495.57
raised by the Colfax Chapter was as follows:
War Fund Campaigns $6,080.77
Memberships and miscellaneous contributions 8,052.32
Total, $14,133. i
Total for the Entire County, $98,628.66
In the stress of the great war, people were too busy getting things done to adopt
absolutely accurate systems of bookkeeping in all cases. The Branches bought their
supplies of chapter headquarters at Newton and Colfax mostly, and paid for them our
of branch funds. These remittances appear in the accounts of the Chapter Treasurers.
On the other hand, the Branches were entitled to a share in the various war funds
which were collected at Chapter Headquarters, and these shares were in many eases
sent them in cash by the Chapter Treasurers, and accordingly appear on the Branch
accounts. Large sums were raised at chapter headquarters and in the branches outside
of memberships and war fund drives, ami considerable disbursements were made by the
branches that did not go through chaptei headquarters. These things make it difficult
to get an exact statement of the total raised all over the county tor Red Cross purposes
and at the same time avoid duplication of items. A few approximations have be?n made
on this account, but in all cases they are close and may be relied upon. If there is any
error, the amounts are understated.
Of the total amount raised, about JilO.OOO.OO is still on hand at chapter headquar-
ters and in the hands of the various branches. The balance was -pent for the purchase
of material for the great quantities of manufactured articles made by the women and
listed above, for the share in the various campaign funds due National Red Cross, for
the relict of families of soldiers, for relief during the flu epidemic, and for general
incidental expenses. The National Red Cross got three-fourths of the funds raised by
the war drives, and approximately one-half of all funds raised in membership drives.
§3,600.00 from funds on hand was also sent to the National Red Cross in March, 1920.
No salaries were paid anyone except a small amount for clerical work, and a small
amount paid Mrs. l.ana Henderson by the Newton Branch tor winding up the work
at headquarters after the armistice was signed, when public interest had fallen off to
such an extent as to make it hard to get volunteer help.
The methods of raising the miscellaneous contributions were main' and clever.
Baxter originated the idea of a street carnival by local talent which proved a great suc-
cess wherever tried. Entertainments of all sorts were given. Red Cross quilts were
made and sold at auction. In some parts of the county, notably in the northeast part,
farmers donated hogs or other live stock which were sold and the entire proceeds
turned over to the Red Cross. The regular monthly payments on subscriptions taken
tor general expense were the chief source of general revenue at Newton.
Dining the principal part of the war period, the officers ami committee heads of the
Jasper County Chapter, both at headquarters and in the branches, were as follows:

Ill a canst- where so many gave so freelj of their means and their time, it would he
impossible to mention all whose services were meritorious. No history of the Red
Cross in Jasper County would be complete, however, without special mention of the
work of Miss Helen M. Needles who organized the chapter, and acted as executive
secretary, devoting all her time, until she went abroad for war work; Mrs. Jaj Clark,
who was in charge of the hospital supplies department of the chapter from its organ-
ization until the armistice, and whose service record shows 4,600 hours devoted to the
work; Mrs. J. C. Hawkins, first in charge of the surgical dressings department and
then executive secretary until the armistice, with a record of 3,200 hours. These
women left their personal interests and devoted their entire time to the work when the
country needed them most. In addition to the actual work done, they carried the
responsibility of the entire chapter to a large extent. This responsibility was also
shared b\ Mrs. F. H. Bergman who was at the head of the surgical dressings depart-
ment for a long time, and whose service record shows 1,700 hours. Other people in
the county whose records on file show one thousand hours or over of service are: Mrs.
W. A. Green, Sr., Gilman; Mrs. Mary Smith, Newton; Lida Lower, Prairie City;
Lillian L. Taylor, Newton; Irene Clark, Newton; Mrs. Mearl Stewart, Newton;
Mis. I.ana Henderson, Newton; Mrs. C. Coker, Newton; Mae Swisher, Newton;
Mrs. L. S. Kennington, Newton; Mrs. A. M. Hough, Newton; Frances H. Gorrell,

The officers of the Colfax Chapter and its branches during the principal part of the
war period were as follows:

Washington Center Circle also rendered efficient aid as an organization.
The record of the work done by this chapter with a small territorial jurisdiction is
sufficient testimonial to the faithfulness of its members.
When the final historian writes the ultimate chapter in the history of the greatest
whirlwind of war that ever scourged the world, he will set down as the fairest tact m
the whole grisly business, a record of the efforts of the Red Cross and kindred organ-
izations to preserve the brotherhood of man ami to plant the white blossom of charity
on the blood-soaked fields of war.

Jasper County Council of Defense
Following a meeting held in Des Moines, called by Governor W. L. Harding, on
February 11, 1917, county councils of defense were organized throughout the state.
Governor Harding named two men in each county to proceed with the work of county
organization. H. B. Allfree and O. P. Myers of Newton were named by the gov-
ernor for Jasper Counts and they in turn named, one man in each township to act as
township chairman, and thus was moulded together one of the strongest and most
important war sarvice organizations in the state. The permanent organization was
perfected with H. B. Allfree of Newton as chairman and J. A. Winger, postmastei of
Newton, as secretary and treasurer.
The Jasper Count} Council of Defense through its committees took over practically
all of the war service work in the county and thus much duplication of effort and ex-
pense was dispensed with.
War Drives
The first of the war drive activities sponsored b\ the Council of Defense was on
May 15, 1917, when the V. M. C. A. campaign for funds was launched. The Jasper
County quota of $2,000 was easily subscribed.
From May 21 to June 2, 1917, the first campaign for mone\ to help the government
prosecute the war was made in the form of the first liberty loan drive. 1 he first lib-
erty loan campaign in Jasper County was handled under the direction of the bankers
of the county. The county's quota of $756,000 and was oversubscribed.
The first Red Cross drive in the county was instituted on May 27, 1 C H7, and the
Council of Defense took an active part in raising the county's quota of SI 5,000.
On July 6, 1917, the first draft numbers were received by the county Selective Ser-
vice Board from Washington. The Council of Defense assisted the soldiers of the
county in filling out their questionnaires and other papers in connection with the selec-
tive draft.
The chairman of the Council of Defense appointed one man in each town in the
county to act as Food Administrator whose duties were to see that the provisions of the
orders of the national food administration were carried out and observed in order that
the conservation of food could be effectively maintained.
The fuel administration was handled in a like manner, D. L. Clark, J. Lindley Coon,
and C. P. Hunter of Newton acting as the county's fuel administrators.
Another organization working in connection with the Council of Defense was the
Four-Minute Men. This organization was directed by Ross R. Mowry and the mem-
bers consisted of prominent business and professional men all over the county, who
delivered four minute talks in the theatres and at other public gatherings. The main
object of the speakers was to keep before the public the things their government was
fighting for and how the} could best help in the great struggle.
The Second Libert} Loan was opened on October 0, 1017, and was handled through
the Council of Defense. The quota of $1,000,000 for the county was subscribed.
The next drive was the Third Liberty Loan which started in May. 1918, and was
oversubscribed about 230 per cent. The county's quota was $756,000.
The Fourth Liberty Loan was started September 30, 1918, and culminated in rais-
ing the county's quota of $1,732,200.
And finally as a grand finish to the campaigns already undertaken for the govern-
ment loans, the Fifth or Victory Loan was launched on April 6, 1919. That the peo-
ple of the county were just as loyal as at the beginning, the county subscribed it^ quota
of SI, 302, 000. The total amount subscribed for the five liberty loans in Jasper County
reached the sum of $5,447,200.
In connection with the fifth loan drive the Council of Defense asked subscriptions for
the erection of a suitable memorial to the boys from Jasper County who gave their
lives while serving their country in the great war. The campaign was started for
525, 000 to be used for this purpose and about one-fifth of that amount was raised.
The Council of Defense expects to complete the canvass for funds for the memorial
during the fall of 1020.
The War Service Council was a tributary organization of the Council of Defense
composed of two men in each school district who worked under the direction of the
township chairman of the Council of Defense. A total of 435 men in Jasper County
was enrolled in this work and canvassed their school districts for every war activity
of the Council of Defense.
The Jasper County Council of Defense enjoys the distinction of being the first
county council organized in the state and its record of achievement stands forth as
a glowing tribute to the men who so willingly disregarded their own personal and busi-
ness affairs in order that the work aligned to them could be successfully concluded.
Hje Braft poarb
On a warm summer day in the summer of 1914, a shot was fired which echoed and
reechoed across the mighty oceans and through the great continents.
It started a conflagration which involved the world and was known as the World
War. At first the war spread over the plains and mountains of Europe, but soon it
extended to Asia and Africa, and the islands of the sea. In a short time it spread to
the farthest parts of the world.
For months and years our country looked on and acted the part of the innocent by-
stander. While some realized the great conflagration would sooner or later involve us
in the struggle, we hoped against hope that it would pass us by. Vain hope! We
maintained our strict neutrality even when our rights were violated; our happiness and,
peace trodden underfoot. At last it w as seen that we could no longer avoid our plain
dutj it we wished to preserve our sovereign dignity and the President advised and
Congress acted by declaring that a state of war existed and passed a war measure
called the conscription bill, requiring all males between the ages of 21 and 31 to reg-
ister for war purposes. Later amendments were passed requiring males over 18 years
of age and to 45, inclusive, to register. Draft Hoards for districts and counties were
organized to register and number the ten millions of men who were required to reg-
ister. In our county the Sheriff, W. S. Gove, and the County Auditor, C. O. Edge.
were selected h\ the Governor of Iowa and the President to act as members of the
Local Board. Also Dr. E. F. Besser was selected as the third member of the Board.
The Board organized in 1917 by the selection of W. S. Gove as chairman and C. O.
Edge a- secretary. Mr. Gove acted as chairman until his death in August, 1 C MS, at
which time he was succeeded by C. O. Edge as chairman. T. J. Patton who had beer,
the clerk of the Local Board was then appointed a member of the Local Board and
was selected as the secretary and these two with Dr. E. I'". Besser continued as the
Local Board until the finishing up of the work.
On June 5, 1917, the first great registration was held all over the United States.
In this count) over 2,500 men registered on that date. In the different registration-
held, there was a grand total of nearly 6,000 men registered. Our Local Board entered
upon its duties at once and on August 2, 3, and 4 physically examined nearly 500 men
ami later in the month examined 200 additional men and was ready for the first call
for troops.
In September, 1917, we sent eleven men, the vanguard of the nearly 1,600 sent fron
this county, and later during the same month we sent 92 or 93 men, and at different
times the county furnished its quota until the final call for November 11, 1918. On
that date we had our men assembled at the Court House waiting for further orders, but
the signing of the armistice on that date rendered it unnecessary for them to entrain.
The registering and classification of men required a vast amount of work, as each
man was allowed to file claims for exemption in classes as provided for by the rules
governing their cases, there being Classes I, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
In the classification we were ordered to send the questionnaires out on a certain date.
with instructions to return them within seven days. This plan for classification was
provided tor after the first troops had been sent in September, 1 C H7, and the first ques-
tionnaires were mailed out about December 9, I'M 7, and began to come back on De-
cember 15, 1917. The Local Hoard began at once to classify them and forwarded
some of them that same day to the District Board at Des Moines, Iowa. Our Board
was the first one in the Southern District of Iowa to forward questionnaires. The Dis-
trict Board reviewed them at once and we were informed on December 17. 1917, of
its findings.
Ir might be mentioned here that the Local Board passed on the question of de-
pendency and the District Board on the question of occupation. All questionnaires
having occupational claims were sent to Des Moines even if they had claims on de-
pendency. The most deferred class governed the final classification. For instance, if
a registrant was placed in Class 4 by the Local Board on dependency and the District
Board placed him in Class 2 or 3 on occupation, he would still be in Class 4, while if
the local board placed registrant in Class 2 or 3 on dependency and the District Board
placed him in Class 4 on occupation, the latter class would govern.
It is impossible to narrate the many incidents in connection with the work. The
many pathetic, the main humorous. Some were anxious to be placed in Class 1 when
they should have asked to be deferred. Some, it seemed, should not have asked for
exemption and did. But on the whole, the Local Board was proud of the many who
seemed so willing to go and wanted to safely pass the physical examination. The 1587
stars on the service flag speak a language of themselves. It shows to the citizens of
the future that Jasper County did her full share and furnished her full quota on every
call and helped to fill out the quotas of some other counties who were short of men to
fill their quotas. And the 53 gold stars. How can we speak of them? They represent
53 of Jasper County's best and noblest. When the call came for them to answer to
their country's need, it was not theirs to question why. Theirs only to answer, Here.
And now- they sleep the last long sleep. Some sleep in Flanders field where poppies
blow, some sleep in the English churchyard, and some sleep in the cemetery of their
own home town. But be it near, or be it far, where they are sleeping the years oi
their manhood away, their lives will ever be remembered by a grateful people. As the
years of the future stretch out into the unknown centuries, they will stand with the
men of Bunker Hill and Saratoga and Yorktown, of Gettysburg and Yicksburg and
Appomattox. We will ever hold their memory dear.
May the Great God of the Universe so will it. that there may never again be a call
for like services. But if again, in future years, the call ma\ come, we who have looked
into the eager, brave and noble faces of the young manhood of America know that there
will be no danger to our country, no alarm for our safety, as we gather at our firesides.
But they will stand together as thej have in the past, with faith to stand tor the right,
as ( iod gave them to see the right, with the free blue sky above their heads and freedom's
-nil beneath their feet.

It would indeed he- a difficult task, to mention all of the acts and deeds performed bv
the men and women of Jasper County in the common cause of winning the war.
1 he real success of our country's efforts to provide food for our fighting men over-
seas and in the camps at home, and our allies as well, was due to the loyalty of the
tanners and agricultural interests of the country. In Jasper County the farmers united
almost to a man in their efforts to increase their yield of grain and provisions, and
literally they accomplished the teat ot making "two grains grow where hut one grew
before".
The housewives of the county combined to conserve the consumption of wheat,
nilgai, tats and meats, through the various methods recommended by the Extension
Department of Iowa Agricultural College, such as the cold pack method of canning.
etc.
The various boy scout troops ot the county were characterized by a most fervid patri-
otism. The boj scouts busied themselves with spreading information about courtesies
due the flag and national anthem, soliciting subscriptions during the various drives for
money, and in general assisting wherever the eager hands and feet of a boy could be
nt Use.
The schools of the county provided another center of activity with the organization
of the Junior Red Cross bodies and thrift campaigns.
The Jasper County Farm Bureau, though new ly organized at the beginning of the
war, was a powerful force in promoting increased production and conservation. Under
its leadership the farmers ot the county raised great fields of wheat, because the govern-
ment needed wheat, in spite of the fact that the crop is not regarded as a profitable one
in this county.
The churches of the county from the beginning were characterized by an unusually
definite stand in support of the war, and led in developing confidence that the war was
waged in the interest of justice and human progress. The attitude of the churches :;s
a whole was virile in its heart) Americanism and its influence was mighty.
In forming and sustaining public opinion the newspapers of Jasper County did a
great work. Frowning upon temporizing criticism and hesitation, they supported the
government in extraordinary enterprises in a way which proved their own breadth of
mind and sincere lovaltv. Every drive for funds had their hearty cooperation, and
they helped to foster the right kind of sentiment by emphasizing the glory ot sacrifice
in a great cause.
The commercial clubs and various bands of the county were liberal in their efforts
to sustain the government on every hand. There are many unwritten stories of real
sacrifices that might be told that will remain a silent tribute to the honest endeavor of
an honest and patriotic people.

THE CHRli'II WTOSJB WiM
The Deutschland in a French Harbor After the Armistice
THE GREAT WORLD WAR
AN ILLUSTRATED REVIEW
I^T^SSJflHEN the World War ended on November 11th, 1918, the armed forces of
2i" nations of the globe had been hurling their armies against eacli other for
more than four years in the most colossal struggle of history. After a con-
flict without parallel, it ended in its 52d month with a casualty total nearing
the ten million mark.
Set off by the murder of an ordinary Austrian archduke on June 28th, l'J14, by a
Serbian political fanatic, the conflagration which had threatened the peace of Europe
for decades was thus destined to embroil the leading powers of the world in the most
COStlj and bloody strife known to man.
After a month's diplomatic argument over the affair, Austria formally opened hostili-
ties with her declaration of war on Serbia. General mobilization followed quickly in
Russia; a "state of war" was almost immediately declared in Germany. Then on August
1st Germany declared war on Russia, following this with an ultimatum to Belgium
demanding that her troops be given free passage across that country. On August 3d, the
Teutons included France on their list of enemies. This was followed next day by an
ultimatum to Germany from Great Britain demanding that the neutrality of Belgium
be respected. When this assurance was not granted by Emperor Wilhelm, Great Britain

declared war on Germany. A quick succession of war declarations finally involved th
greater share of Europe by the end of the summer.
Mad with the ruthless spirit of conquest the Central Powers marched their armies off
to war in grand fashion, boasting that they would return by Christmas time, the con-
querers of Europe. Their amazing preparations for the dream of world power almost
brought within their grasp the greedy ambition of the Junkers.
The initial successes of the German army in its advance through Belgium and on to-
ward Paris astounded the world. England and France reeled and staggered before the
terrific onslaught of the famous Prussian Guards and the other crack armies of the Central
Powers. Swept off her feet almost by the spectacular aggression of the enemy, the fate of
France virtually hung from a thread as the invaders triumphantly swept on and on.
Early in September, when they were practically within reach of Paris, the tide was
turned against them in the battle of the Marne, September 6-10. French themselves
attribute their good fortune at this point to the hand of the Almighty rather than to
their superior military strength at the time. This marked the enemy's point of farthest
advance.
The atrocities of the advancing Huns during the months of their early triumphs and
conquest have been called infamous by conservative journalists and correspondents.
Suffice to say, their bloodthirsty ambition to rule and conquer the world knew no bounds,
and that their acts and deeds of disgrace will forever remain one of the darkest of the
many blotches brought on the German people during the European war.
Believing that the United States had no part to play in the war at that time, President
Woodrow Wilson, on August 4th, 1914, officially proclaimed the neutrality of the United
States. The war was thus confined to Europe for many months, a struggle mainly
between the two great European Alliances — the Triple Alliance composing Germany,
Austria Hungary and Italy, against the Triple Entente, composing England, Russia and
Ami'iican Lads' Most Brilliant Victories.
France. Italy, originally a member of the Triple Alliance, but later one of the chief
powers of the Allies, did not enter the war until 1915. She then declared war on all of
Germany's Allies, but did not break with Germany herself until late in 1916. Before
the war she was a member of the Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria but severed
this connection to fight with the Allies.
After the marvelous advances of the first year, the great battle line in Europe re-
mained practically stationary for nearly three years and extended over more than 300
miles. The large armies of each force fought doggedly, suffered heroically and died
willingly, in a mighty death-grip whose battles surpassed the most famous of previous
wars for loss of life and destruction of property.
The superb Armies of the Russians in the Eastern theater kept the attention of a
large German force occupied and away from the Western Front. This fact aided the
Allies tremendously and probably prevented a German Peace in the second and third
years of the War.
It was while France, England and Italy were staggering before the last big offensive
of the enemy early in 1918 that America's force was thrown into the balance in sub-
stantial numbers.
Her declaration of war against Germany on April 6th, 1917, grew out of the Central
Powers' failure to recognize the rights of neutrals on the high seas. Repeatedly the
rights of the United States were violated, and just as repeatedly Germany refused to
discontinue her ruthless program of submarine warfare against the world. The sinking
of the Lusitania on May 7th, 1915, without warning and with the loss of 1154 lives, 114
of whom were Americans, was regarded by a great many as just cause for a declaration
of war against Germany. The President and Congress believing differently, lailed to
act, and it was not until more sinkings of women and children that the United States
decided to step into the breach herself.

Regarded as a mere "bluff" by her adversaries, the United States' entrance appar-
ently failed to cause undue anxiety in Berlin. With an unprepared democracy for another
enemy in which a great many were believed to have been opposed to war, Germany had
little cause for worry, she declared.
But America went to work. The act produced an electrical effect on her people and
almost instantly united her various factions, creeds, parties, and nationalities for one
purpose — to crush Germany and her Allies. She became a workshop, with no hours, in
her determination to end the European fight victoriously, and thus save democracy for
the world. Every effort was bended to the cause, every penny of wealth was eagerly
held ready for the call, and every atom of energy was expended in her feverish haste to
redeem mankind.
Her sons by the hundreds of thousands rushed to the colors, as their fathers did in
the wars of their day, to see another victory added to the flag which had never known
defeat. That the distribution of soldiers throughout the land might be as nearly equit-
able as possible, Congress passed the Selective Service Act in .May, 191S, the greatest
mobilization machinery developed by any of the 25 nations at war.
Naturally there were obstacles and delays. A nation's task in rising up overnight
to send a formidable force three thousand miles overseas to fight for world freedom is
not the kind that can be accomplished without some disorder and delay. But loyalty
and union did it, and on June 26th, 1917, only two months after the declaration of war,
the fust American doughboy landed on French soil. On November 3d, 1917, the Yanks
had their first clash with the Germans. On January 31st, 1918, a report reached America
that American infantrymen were occupying first line trenches for the first time.

By this time the United States had declared a state of war existing with Austria
Hungary, Germany's chief ally, and had swung her domestic machinery into the greatest
war machine conceivable. She had begun to raise by popular bond subscriptions billions
of dollars to supply guns and munitions, and food and clothes, for the boys who were
going over to France to do the job.
Four Liberty Loans were floated during the war, and the total subscriptions to these
amounted to between eighteen and nineteen billions of dollars. This amount was taken
by more than 50 million subscribers, and was to be only an insignificant factor in the
financing of the war, according to the Treasury Department. This cost when compared
with the total cost of the Civil War for four years — approximately $4,000,000,000 — is
proof enough that the World War was not comparable with any previous war in history.
In April, 1919, following the armistice, another Fifth or Victory Loan of approximately
the same dimensions as the Fourth, was floated. The wonderfully prompt and generous
response of the nation to each of the calls of the Liberty Loans was one of the greatest
sources of inspiration for the men in uniform who had gone to fight for those at home.
The same patriotic generosity that marked the success of the Liberty Loan was evident
in each of the scores of war work drives that were conducted for the various relief and
welfare organizations.
Food conservation — conservation ol man-power, the work or fight order, the noble,,
work of the women who sewed and knitted night and day for the Red Cross and the boys,
the curtailment of profits and the simple economy was practiced by rich and poor
alike, were but a few of the many war time measures that characterized the life of Amer-
ica's hundred and some million during the year and a half during which she was at war.
No history of that war will ever have room for a just story of the part played by the loyal
home folks — those who waited and prayed, and worked and gave, to keep the home fires.

Foremost among the initial problems of America, alter preliminary plans for the
raising of her army had been laid, was the problem of transporting them to France, so
that their strength might be thrown against the Hun on the battlefield. Shipping was
not available, and even though it was being increased at maximum capacity, still there
was not more than half as much as was needed to transport the men in the numbers they
were being trained and in the numbers they were needed by France and England and
Italy.
England gladly placed her available shipping at the disposal of the United States,
and before the war had ended she had carried more than one million Yanks to the side
of her own men and those of the French, or nearly half of those who had gone overseas.
The importance of the United States Navy in the war can hardly be exaggerated. Within
less than a month after hostilities were declared, she had sent a detachment of destroyers
to European waters. By October, 1918, there were 338 ships of all classes flying the
American flag in foreign waters. The operations of the Navy during the war covered
the widest scope in its history. They operated in European waters from the Mediter-
ranean to the White Sea. At Corfu, Gibraltar, in the Bay of Biscay, on the Irish Coast,
at the English Channel ports, in the North Sea and at Archangel, they did creditable
work. This service was not as brilliant perhaps as that of the army, because the nature
of its vital work kept it from the front. Even though its activities were probably less
glorious, still they were none the less important and necessary to the cause.
Naval men served on nearly 2000 craft that plied the waters of the globe, on sub-
marines that had no fear of the under-sea perils, and in aviation where men of courage
fought and prevented surprise attacks with new-found weapons.

American Doughboys Shown Taking Another Hill After the Usual Spectacular Dash Over the Top.
In diplomacy, in investigation at home and in all parts of the world by naval officers
and civilian agents, in protecting industry from enemy spies, in promoting new industries
and enlarging older ones to meet war-time needs — these are a lew ol the accomplish-
ments that are outstanding in the part played by the Navy in winning the war.
Shortly after the declaration of war, the submarine problem had become so acute
and the merchant ship losses so great, it became necessary to adopt more effective methods
in dealing with the problem and making shipping safer. The system of convoy was
adopted at the suggestion of President Wilson. This, although it slowed up shipping
by fully twenty percent, enabled a comparatively sale passage of troops and was probably
the greatest stroke of the Navy during the war.
During all the time the United States was engaged in the war the enemy's naval
forces, with the exception of the submarines, were blockaded in his ports. This, of course,
prevented naval engagements of a major character. The destroyers, submarine chasers
and patrol vessels, however, waged an unceasing offensive against the submarine menace
to shipping and troop convoj , and only three vessels were sunk. These were the Antilles,
the President Lincoln and the Covington. Each was struck on her return voyage, so
that the loss of life was comparatively small. Only three lighting vessels were lost as
the result of enemy action — a patrol ship, a torpedo boat destroyer and a cruiser. The
either transports and destroyers struck by the enemy during the war reached port without
loss of life. Other Transports carrying United States soldiers went down but these
were being convoyed by the British Admiralty. Chief am. ng these was tie Tuscania,
sunk off the Coast of Ireland February 5th, 1918, with a less of 110 lives
The most serious loss of life in the navy as a result of its war-time activity resulted
when 111 officers and men of the Coast Guard cutter Tampa perished when their vessel
was sunk in Bristol Channel, England, in September, 1918. The Tampa had been doing
escort duty in the transport service. It had gone ahead of the convoy and was sunk
soon after leaving the party.

With its record of phenomenal transport service in protecting troops and shipping
against the enemy submarine offensive; its splendid co-operation with the British Fleet
in keeping the German navy in port and Germany herself blockaded; its stellar work
with the giant 14 inch long range guns at the front; and its subsequent spectacular feat
irst bridging the Atlantic by air, the United States Navy had a share in the World
War which although as previously stated is seldom characterized as brilliantly as that
le Army and Marines, still was equally important and essential in keeping the war
wheels turning victoriously.
The story of the activities of America's two million doughboys and marines in France
is one which should be told in volumes rather than in paragraphs. From the time
their first clash with the Germans on November 3d, l c >17, until they "let go ""
unwelcome guests against Fritz's lines early November 11th, 1918 — their deeds are
succession of courageous and brilliant performances of duty.

John J. Pershing declared in commending the officers and soldiers of the line of the
American Army. "Their deeds are immortal, and they have earned the eternal gratitude
of our country."
This simple tribute to the brave American lads who fought and died in France is
indicative of America's reverence for her heroic aimies. Their glory and fame will
always live by the side of the deeds of their forbears in previous wars.
In May, 1917, shortly after war was declared, General Pershing, well-known for his
punitive expedition into Mexico, was selected by the War Department to command the
American Expeditionary Forces that were to go to France. After gathering about him
a small staff the General set sail. His reception in both England and France was only
equalled by the readiness of the commanders of both armies to co-operate with the
United States in the prosecution of the war, according to the General's own report.
Mis general stalT was organized in a short time and detailed plans worked out for the
organization and training of the millions of American soldiers who were expected in
France to help finish the Hun. Training areas, designed to give the final seasoning to
fresh troops arriving from the States before their entry into the front lines, and officers
schools for the various arms of the service were established.
Extensive construction provided wast warehouses, supply depots, munition store-
houses, and the like for the huge task ahead. Although France offered much in the way
of both ordnance and quartermaster property for use by the American Army, still
enormous quantities of materials of all kinds had to be brought across the Atlantic.
Flocking into the Army from civil life were thousands of professional and business
men with splendid talent along the lines needed to build up this immense service of
supply that was to keep the A. E. F. in action. To meet the shortage of supplies due to
lack of shipping, representatives of the various supply departments were constantly
in search of supplies and materials in Europe. A general purchasing agency was pro-

vided, in order to better co-ordinate the purchasing and to prevent competition between
departments of the army. So successful was this system in the American Army that
it was almost universally adopted by the armies of the Allies before the war had ended.
"Our entry into the war found us with few of the auxiliaries necessary for its conduct
in the modern sense," General Pershing declared in his official report. "Among our
most importent deficiencies in material were artillery, aviation and tanks. In order to
meet our requirements as quickly as possible we accepted the offer of the French Govern-
ment to provide us from their own factories with the necessary artillery equipment for
thirty divisions. In aviation we were in the same situation and here again the French
Government came to our aid until we were able to get our own air service program
underway. The necessary planes to train the air service personnel were provided and
we secured from the French a total of 2676 pursuit, bombing and observation planes.
The first planes to arrive from America came in May, 1918, and a total of 137'' were
received during the war. The first American squadron completely equipped by American
production, including airplanes, crossed the German lines on August 7th, 1918. For tanks
we also were compelled to rely upon the French. We were less fortunate here, however,
for the reason that the French were scarcely able to meet their own production require-
ments in this respect. It should be remembered by every American that the French
Government always took a most liberal attitute in endeavoring to supply the shortages
existing in the American Army."
Speaking of the soldiers in Europe General Pershing outlines with words of praise
the work done by the various welfare organizations and of the responsive attitude found
among the soldiers by these organizations.

during their leaves of visiting their relatives and renewing their home ties. Fully realizing
that the standard of conduct that should be established for them must have a perma-
nent influence on their lives and the character of their future citizenship, the Red Cross,
the Young Men's Christian Association, the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation Army
and the Jewish Welfare Board, as auxiliaries in this work, were encouraged in every
manner possible. 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 t < > the efforts in their behalf, but much more to other high ideals, their
discipline, and their 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 gratitude that can never be entirely repaid."
The First Division of the American Army, after finishing its preliminary training
behind the lines, went to the trenches for the first time in October, 1917, as the first
contribution to the fighting forces of the Allies. By the time that the great German
offensive in Picardy began, on March 21st, 1918, the American army had four experienced
divisions in the line. The great crisis that this drive developed, however, made it im-
possible for the Americans to take over a sector by themselves. Gradually, as their
numbers increased and more reserves, fresh from the States, were placed in training
behind the lines, the American boys went in in substantial numbers. Already they had
displayed their splendid fighting qualities and had demonstrated that as soldiers they
had no superiors. Incidentally, it did not take them long to convince the enemv that
contrary to their own opinions, they themselves were not invincible.
On August 30th, 1918, the American forces took over the first American sector, in
preparation for the St. Mihiel offensive. The American line was soon extended across
the Meuse River to the west edge of the Argonne Forest. The concentration of tanks,
aviation units, artillery equipment, and materials of all kinds for this first great American
offensive was enormous. The scores of elements of a complete army were moulded
together, with American railroad and American service of supply units throughout. The
concentration included the bringing up of approximately 600,000 troops. The French
Independent Air Force, together with British bombing units and American Air forces,
placed the greatest aviation personnel that ever took part in any Western Front offensive
under the direct command of General Pershing.
On the day after they had taken the St. Mihiel Salient a great share of the corps
and army artillery that had operated in that offensive were on the move toward the area
back of the line between the Meuse River and the western edge of the Argonne. The
German General Staff was well aware of the consequences of an American success along
this line, and it was determined to use every available American division in an effort
to force a decision at this point. The attack began on September 26th. The work of
the American army and ot the American engineers in this drive will forever remain in

the memory of generations to come. Forcing their way through the densely wooded
and shell torn areas, their fight was one of the most brilliant battles of the war. The
offensive was maintained until October 4th in the face of innumerable wooded patches
SJH of snipers and concealed machine gunners.
Fresh troops with little experience were thrown in with their seasoned comrades,
who had become veterans over night with this most crucial battle as their teacher. The
second phase began with a renewed attack all along the front on October 4th. More
positions were taken with a precision and speed that always characterized the Yank
army. Their dogged offensive was wearing down the enemy, who, continuing desper-
ately by throwing his best troops against them, was helpless before the spectacular
advance.
At this juncture two divisions were dispatched to Belgium to help the French army
near Ypres. On October 23d, the last phase of the Mcuse-Argonne offensive began.
Violent counter attacks by the enemy lost him heavily, while a regrouping of the Amer-
ican force was going on for the final drive. Plain evidences of loss of morale in the enemy
forces gave our men added courage and spirit, and finally, using comparatively fresh
divisions, the last advance was begun on November 1st. It was apparent at this time
that the end was near for the Boche. Our increased artillery support did remarkable
work in supporting the infantry, which by its dashing advance of the several weeks
preceding had destroyed the Hun's will to resist.
Between September 26th and November 6th they had taken 26,059 prisoners and
468 guns on this front.
:;: : : :i:::::::"-7r r::..Z--:r:::r::^-::^:r.zr:"::. , ;.-.jLz:i.:::-— :;
Tlie divisions engaged in this, the most important of America's battles in the Eu-
ropean war, were the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 32d, 33d, 35th, 37th, 42d,
77th, 78th, 70th, 80th, 82d, 89th, 90th and 91st. Many of these divisions remained in
line for a length of time that required nerves of steel while still others were put back in
the line after onlv a few davs of rest.
When the armistice was signed following a complete routing of the enemy by Amer-
icans in the Argonne Forest there were in France, according to General Pershing, ap-
proximately 2,053,347 troops, less the casualties. Of this total there were 1,338,169
combatant troops. Up to November 18th the losses were: Killed and wounded, 36,145;
died of disease, 14,811; deaths unclassified, 2,204; wounded 179,625; prisoners, 2,163;
missing in action 1,160. As against this casualty total, the American forces captured
about 44,000 prisoners and 1,400 guns, howitzers and trench mortars.
In this short summary of the principal activities of the United States' part in the
great war it is obviously impossible to more than skim over the various features of the
great war machinery. The heroism and gallantry of the boys who fought and died over
there; the unceasing devotion and courage of the parents and citizens at home who
stood by them so unselfishly; and the determination of everyone, young and old, to unite
for the common cause, setting aside their personal desires and interests, was responsible
for the glorious victory in which America was so conspicuously instrumental in bringing
about. Outstripping a hundredfold the dimensions of any previous war of the United
of Marines Who Died "In Flanders Fields.
States, the task accomplished was a revelation to all when viewed in retrospect. The
accomplishments of the Liberty Loans, the devotion of the millions of mothers and
sisters in behalf of the Red Cross, the wonderful response of the country to the operation
of the Selective Service Act in raising an army of millions — the sacrifices of all, at home
and abroad, were universal during the year and a half at which America was at war.
Loyalty and love of country were terms with new meanings. Sedition was lurking
only here and there, and this was promptly done away with through the efficient secret
service department and popular opinion. The four million American boys who were
under arms, many of them at the front and the remainder eager for the chance to jump
in, convinced the world that the fighting blood that gave birth to their nation had not
been diluted through the riotous living of a century. The brave lads who gave their
lives and are now buried over there went to their fate with hearts full of joy, and in a
manner that gave courage to the veterans of four years who fought beside them. And
their brave mothers in the States who waited in vain for peace to bring their sons back
to them, made the greatest sacrifices within their power with a courage and willingness
that was unequalled even by the Spartans themselves.
When the history of the great European struggle is permanently written, there wilj
be no more brilliant chapters than those telling of the part played by the United States
of America in stamping out militaristic autocracy from the world.
