HONORABLE ROBERT LANSING
U. S. SECRETARY OF STATE
June 23d, 1915, to February 13th, 1920
Introduction

T IS an opportunity, of which I am glad to avail myself, to

express the personal pride which I have felt throughout the
war at the patriotic and efficient way that my home county of
Jefferson responded to every call made upon the American people.
The ceaseless devotion and sacrifice of my neighbors and friends
were a constant source of encouragement to me in the per-
formance of my duties for there came the consciousness that
we were working together for a common cause. I was proud
to renew thus a comradeship which has been in the past an in-
spiration to unremitting effort.

The publication of the splendid record of our County dur-
ing the war is well worth while, for future generations should
not be allowed to forget how much the residents of Jefferson
County accomplished when patriotism called them to service.
In the production and conservation of food, in the conservation
of fuel, in assisting in financing the national war power, in its
generous gifts to the Red Cross and other associations devoted
to the amelioration of suffering and hardship, the record of
our county is one which should be perpetuated. The names of
those who so courageously and cheerfully took up arms in de-
fense of human liberty, the sacred heritage of all Americans,
constitute a roll of honor which should be preserved for all
time as an example to posterity of the spirit of 1917. To
place before the future the names and faces of those who gave
their lives in their country’s cause is but small reward for the
sacrifice which they made, but to remember their heroic service
with grateful hearts is all that we can do for them or for the
loved ones whom they left behind.

This work is a fitting memorial of Jefferson County’s
achievements for its country and of the noble part it played in
the winning of the war. As a citizen of Jefferson County and
as the Secretary of State of the United States I heartily com-
mend the patriotism, the zeal and the splendid spirit of unity
which is commemorated in this book.

Foreword

HIS BOOK is intended as a permanent record of Jefferson
County’s part in the World War. In it we purpose to
show, in brief form, the different activities and agencies
by and through which the county’s war work was conceived
and carried on and, more appropriate and important, the names
of the men who in the army or navy pledged their lives at the
call of the government to aid in its purpose of destroying the
Prussian peril, to make liberty, humanity, civilization safe, and
the world a decent place to live in. It will show, too, the names
and, so far as we have been able to obtain them, the faces
of those heroes who made the supreme sacrifice, who gave their
lives that we, our children and our children’s children, should
be forever safe from the fate of the people of Belgium and
of Serbia.

The record of our soldiers and sailors is one of which Jef-
ferson County may justly feel proud. We can, too, consider
with pride the unity, efficiency and success with which our
eivilians performed every duty and trust. At home, as at the
front, Jefferson County “went over the top” in every project,
purpose and undertaking connected with the winning of the
war. And that one of our sons, as secretary of state and as
one of our country’s representatives around the peace table at
Versailles well and ably measured up to the duties of his most
important position and by his state papers has left his name
indelibly stamped in the annals of American and of world
history, affords us no small sense of gratification and pride.
Not as a boast, but simply as a fact, we can say that no county
or community in the nation “carried on’ in a more patriotic
spirit or efficient manner than ours and no county or community
produced better results.

In placing the book before the people the Jefferson County
Preparedness and Efficiency League, under whose direction it
is published, are conscious of its necessary shortcomings. We
felt that the most important part of the work was to obtain
and furnish a complete list of our men in service. We have
labored long and have exercised the greatest care to make the
list accurate and to include the names of all who wore the khaki
or the blue. We have availed ourselves of every possible source
of information and to the many who have assisted us in this
work we take this opportunity to return our sincere thanks.
But we doubt if, after all, the list is as accurate as we wish
to make it. We can only express our intentions and efforts
toward accuracy and, if mistakes or omissions occur, we assure
you they are unintentional and we know not how to have pre-
vented them because of the multitude of sources from which
names and information had to be obtained.

We hope, therefore, that the work may be accepted in the
spirit in which it is offered and that it will be found of in-
creasing value as the future years roll on.

The World War

N ITS magnitude, considered from every point of view, the
World War just ended is beyond mortal comprehension. As
to the nations and peoples engaged, the accompanying

map shows that almost the whole world was at war.

As to the number of soldiers and sailors, directly or in-
directly, fifty-six million men were engaged. Coming to the
cost, $186,000,000,000 were spent for direct war expenses and to
this must be added interest, insurance, pensions and other obliga-
tions, which will increase the cost probably ten times two
hundred billions before the war debts are finally all wiped out.

Twenty-five billions of property have been destroyed; six hun-
dred and twenty war ships with a total displacement of 1,882,000
tons and merchant ships to the aggregate of 15,336,932 tons have
been sunk. Norway was not at war, had committed no offense
against Germany, yet Germany destroyed 1,177,000 gross tons
of Norway’s shipping. Strange as it may seem, save Great
Britain alone, Norway, a neutral country, suffered through
the war greater loss to its shipping than any belligerent engaged.

But what of the loss of life! What of the suffering of
the wounded and dying! All the rest amounts to but little as
compared with these. To comprehend it we must try to visu-
alize, to realize, the agony. See the thrust of the bayonet, its
withdrawal followed by the spurting life blood; see the stroke
and hear the thud of the rifle butt as it beats to a bloody mass
the head of some boy; see the stricken man fall and writhe
whose vitals are pierced by the bullet or whose limbs and body
are torn by the shrapnel; see the soldier struggling, gasping,
dying, who has inhaled the deadly gas; watch the feeble breath
become feebler still in the long drawn agony that marks the
passing of the famished child; see the upraised hands, the
struggles, the gasps, hear the shrieks of the drowning women,
children and men. Try to visualize and realize the bitter death
of one soldier or sailor, the agony of one starving, dying child.
Then think of the agony of his mother, wife, sister or sweet-
heart. Multiply this agony by twenty million. If you can do

[13]
Jefferson County in the World War

this, then and not until then can one have but the most vague
and unreflecting comprehension as to what this war has meant
in loss, suffering and agony to human life.

The number of soldiers and sailors killed or dying of wounds
is 7,485,600. Add to this the number killed or starved in Russia
since her surrender to Bolshevism; add the number of soldiers
and sailors who died of disease; again add to this total the
civilian population that was killed, died of starvation or whose
deaths are directly attributable to the war, and statisticians
estimate that not less than twenty million persons have been
sacrificed directly to the Gods of War since August 3d, 1914, or
a number approximately equal to the entire population of both
New York State and Canada. Twenty million death agonies !
Twice twenty million sorrowing mothers, wives, relatives or
friends to mourn for the dead !

Compared with the World War, all other wars sink into
insignificance. Before this our own Civil War furnished the
largest armies of modern times. But when the Civil War
ended only two million northerners and one million southerners
were under arms. In the Franco-Prussian war, the Germans
had 1,124,000 and the French 1,000,000. At Waterloo 189,700
were engaged on both sides and Napoleon’s largest army, en-
rolled, when he started on his fatal invasion of Russia, com-
prised only 600,000 soldiers. Going back to ancient times, Han-
nibal invaded Italy with 60,000 soldiers, Alexander conquered
the then known world with 50,000 and Charles Martel drove
back the Moors and saved France from Mohammedan domi-
nation with only 20,000. Add all these figures, all these totals
of both ancient and modern armies in the greatest wars and
battles of both modern and ancient times, and we have 5,443,000
men in all who were in arms; in the war just ended nearly 8,000,-
000 men were killed or died of wounds. Marshal all the soldiers
that fought in former wars together, therefore, and that army
would not equal in size the army of the World War’s dead.
The dead and wounded together—the total casualties—amounted
to 26,000,000 men. Such is a brief summary of the facts show-
ing the magnitude of the struggle from which the world has
just emerged.

There seems to be two distinct lines of causes of the war,
end two lines of causes less distinct, for our becoming involved

[14]
Jefferson County in the World Waa

in it. There are the technical causes advanced to satisfy the
legal phases and the real causes which brought on, and brought
us into, the conflict.

On the 28th day of June, 1914, in one of the most insig-
nificant states of Europe a man and his wife were murdered by
a small band of political assassins. Of itself the news item
was scarcely of sufficient interest or importance to entitle it to
a place in the columns of our newspapers, except that the victims
happened to be members of the Hapsburg family,—that family
which comprised the hereditary rulers of Austria. The ruler
of Austria-Hungary interested himself in the matter and on July
23d sent an ultimatum to Servia containing demands so drastic
that no self-respecting state could think of complying with them.
But, nevertheless, Servia agreed to most of these harsh terms
and asked arbitration of the rest. Austria responded by declaring
war on Servia, five days after her ultimatum, or on July 28th,
Russia was by treaty a guarantor of the integrity of Servia.
Russia thereupon began to mobilize an army and on July 31st
Germany demanded that the Russians cease their mobilization.
August 1st Germany declared war on Russia and immediately
started her army on a march, not toward Russia, but toward
France. August 8d the German army entered Belgium con-
cededly against existing treaty promises and against the Bel-
gians’ protest. And on the same day Germany declared war
against France. August 4th Great Britain, pursuant to treaty
guaranteeing the integrity of Belgium, declared war on Germany:
and four days later, on August 8th, landed her first troops in
France. On the same day French trcops crossed the German
frontier into Alsace-Lorraine. Meanwhile the German army
was forcing its way through Belgium, burning, destroying,
murdering and massacring, and from there on into France
until stopped by the French in the battle of the Marne, Sep-
tember 6th to the 10th.

This was the technical method employed by the nations
in bringing on the war and a summary of the first steps in
the war’s progress. But the mere statement of its beginning
shows that behind all the technical pretenses there must have
been a real and greater cause. It is now well settled that that
cause was the long cherished desire and project of Germany’

[15]
Jefferson County in the World War

to extend and expand her dominions. It was Germany that
counseled Austria-Hungary in her attempt against Servia. It
was Germany, and Germany alone, among the powers, that
had an army mobilized and ready to march on the instant, as it
did march. It was Germany that blocked England’s attempt
to delay and talk over the matter to see if some peaceful settle-
ment of the impending conflict could not be had. In short,
it was Germany’s ambition and greed for power that brought
on the catastrophe; a catastrophe, from which as a just retri-
bution in its final analysis and results it may be said in passing
that Germany will eventually suffer most. A plan of aggres-
sion and ultimate domination of Europe and of the world was
the controlling cause of Germany’s action; and to block that
aggression and attempted domination was the cause that forced
England, France, Italy and Russia to arm to resist. Austria-
Hungary was but a tool employed by Germany to bring on the
crisis. Reparation for the murder of the man and woman in
Servia was but an excuse.

Two years and eight months later, the United States de-
clared war against Germany. The technical legal reason for
our action was that Germany had already, from the begin-
ning, been making war on us. Not only had she sunk our
ships and drowned our women and children on the free seas,
but she had at the time we entered the conflict declared her in-
tention to continue these acts unless we consented to paint our
ships like zebras, to sail them only along the narrow lanes on
the high seas which they had laid out on the charts for us, and
then only at the times which they should dictate. We knew all
that then, but we have learned since that Germany had long
pursued in secret a system looking to the destruction of our
munition plants, our railroad terminals, and for creating dis-
turbances, strikes, even revolutions in our midst. From both
a legal and a moral standpoint these causes, and many others
which space will not permit relating, were amply sufficient to jus-
tify—to necessitate—our course. But there was still a greater
cause. The cause of humanity inspired and influenced many of
us, no doubt. But the one thing which people said and thought
most of was that, if we did not get in and help whip Germany,
opposed as she was by all the other great powers, the time
would come and was probably not far distant when conditions

[16]
Jefferson County in the World War

would arise that would necessitate the U. S. fighting Germany
alone. It was this certainty, probably more than all else, that
influenced the greatest number of average Americans to favor
the declaration of war. Statesmen and others told us, too, al-
though with the war over some of these same statesmen seem
to hesitate about making their statements effective, that this
was a fight on our part against war itself—a war to end war.

All causes, some outlined above and some not, entered into
the consideration of our people, and taking all the causes to-
gether, it is certain that no people ever entered into a war
under stronger provocation and with better reasons than when
we undertook to do our part to subdue the Prussian menace to
the world.

What we did is a matter for general history and can be no
more than summarized here. The world, Germany perhaps more
than any other nation, knows that we performed our full part
after April 6, 1917. And when the Armistice came the United
States, not only in theory but in fact, considering resources
and all elements of strength, had been transformed from the
most peaceful nation to one of the strongest, if not the strongest,
‘war power that the world has ever produced.

April 6th, 1917, the United States declared war on Germany.
Europe had then been at war for two years and eight months.
When our country declared war, we had an army of 200,000
men, 67,000 of which were in the National Guard and 133,000
in the regular army. When the war ended, this force had been
increased to twenty times its original size and 4,000,000 men
had served in the armed forces of the United States, out of
every one hundred of whom, ten had entered through the
National Guard, thirteen through the regular army and seventy-
seven through the national army by way of the selective draft.
Besides these, however, we had 21,423,725 men of the selective
service registered, partially examined and classified and ready to
respond to calls. Including the navy, Marine Corps, and other
services, we had 4,800,000 men serving in the armed forces of
the United States. As the male population of the country is
substantially 54,000,000, nearly five out of every one hundred
Americans, therefore, tcok up arms in their country’s defense.

A remarkable feature in our war preparation was the
willingness with which the American people accepted the uni-

[17]
Jefferson County in the World War

versal draft. More than 2,800,000, or about 77% of our whole
army, were thus obtained. Out of our total male population
some 26,000,000, nearly one-half, were registered under the
selective service or were already serving without being registered.
During the last six months of the war, May to October, 1918,
no less than 1,873,000 were inducted into the army through
the draft, or at the average rate of 15,608 men per day.

About 200,000 commissioned officers were required for the
army and of this number we had, at the beginning only 9,000,
5,791 of whom were regulars and 3,199 of the National Guard.
Officers’ training camps were quickly established and candidates
put through a three months course of intensive training. This
method obtained for the army nearly one-half of its total number
of officers and more than two-thirds of those who saw service
in the line.

Meanwhile 16 army camps and 16 cantonments had been
constructed. Cantonment construction was authorized in May,
1917, the last site was purchased in July and on September 4th
accommodations were ready for 430,000 men and this capacity
was shortly increased to 770,000. The capacity of the camps
reached 684,000, giving a total camp and cantonment capacity
for a million and a half men.

The army began its training in these camps. The average
soldier who fought in France had been under training six months
before sailing, two months in that country before going into the
front lines and one month in a quiet sector before going into
battle. Forty-two divisions, each consisting of approximately
1,000 officers and 27,000 men were sent to France. The following
diagram shows the comparative times of organization and com-
parative service of each of these divisions.

During the first thirteen months of our participation in
the war, half a million soldiers were sent to France and during
the last six months a million and a half. The highest troop-
carrying records are those for July, 1918, when 306,000 soldiers
were carried across the sea and in June, 1919, when 364,000 were
brought back. Although our transports were carrying soldiers
to France during the maximum months at the rate of almost
10,000 a day through seas infested with mines, torpedoes and
submarines, no American troop ship was lost on its outward
voyage. Not only is this a record never before approached, but

[ 18)
Jefferson County in the World War

it is an accomplishment. that was never before thought possible.
And another record breaking accomplishment is that seven
months after the Armistice, by July 1919, substantially all of
the 2,000,000 soldiers had been brought back home and they, to-
gether with substantially all of the men in the camps at home,
had been discharged.

Due credit must be given our allies for assistance in the
miracle of transporting our 2,000,000 soldiers safely to France.
Among every hundred of these soldiers, 49 went over in British,
3 in Italian, 2 in French, 1 in Russian and 45 in American
ships. J3ut in returning our army, the British ships being then
needed for the return of their own colonial troops, the problem
was met by the conversion of our large cargo ships into troop-
earrying vessels. By means of these, the German liners which
we had taken over, and the warships which the navy put at
the army’s disposal, the army was brought back almost entirely
on American ships and even more rapidly than it had been
taken to France. ‘

The first shipment of cargo to support our forces in France
was made in June, 1917, and amounted to 16,000 tons. These
shipments grew rapidly and steadily until they amounted to
more than 800,000 tons per month during the latter part of the
war. To the Emergency Fleet Corporation which turned over
nearly a million tons of new ships and to the Shipping Control
Committee which impressed all suitable vessels that could be
found into the transport service, both agencies created by the
government to meet the situation, belong chiefly the credit of
this miraculous accomplishment.

It has been often stated, and we have not seen it contra-
dicted, that the American Expeditionary Force was the best fed
and best clothed army that was ever brought into existence.
The problem of supplying its needs was not so much in manu-
facturing the articles, for our existing plants in most cases were
equal to the demands, as the immense quantities involved and
the long distance from our factories to our men in France. But
the government had to and did take over and control all the
available woolen and some other articles of supply. The United
States produced in 1914, eight million blankets; in 1918 the
army purchased 18,000,000 blankets. The entire production of
wool socks in 1914 was 61,000,000; in 1918 the army purchased

[19]
Jefferson County in the World War

96,000,000. During the period from April 6th, 1917 to May 31st,
1918 there were delivered to the army 131,000,000 pairs of wool
socks, 85,000,000 undershirts, 30,700,000 blankets, 21,700,000
wool breeches and 13,900,000 wool coats. The quantity of these
purchases may seem extravagant until we consider that the men
must not only be supplied at all times but that, to insure the
supply, numbers of each article must be always on the way from
the factory to the men or stored in the warehouses in France.
Considering that the army to be fed and clothed was from 3,000
to 4,000 miles away from the sources of supply the necessity
for such large purchases is made clear. We have illustrated the
problems by these few examples of the quantity of socks
blankets, etc., but the same is true of all other supplies includ-
ing food and munitions.

The problems of transportation and distribution of supplies
were more difficult than that of their procurement. To accomplish
this, as well as to insure prompt movement of troops, the govern-
ment took over the control of railroads. To get the supplies
to the camps and cantonments in this country was comparatively
simple. But in France a complete new organization had to be
built up whose main duty was to receive and distribute supplies.
It was called the Service of Supplies, the S. O. S., and had its
headquarters at Tours. On the day of the Armistice, the
American §. O. S. consisted of 386,000 soldiers, 31,000 German
prisoners and thousands of civilian laborers furnished by the
allies. At the same time there were in the zone of the armies
160,000 non-combatant troops keeping in operation the lines of
distribution of supplies to the men at the front.

To receive and distribute the supplies, French ports had to
be improved and enlarged, new railroads to the extent of 1000
miles of standard and 125 miles of narrow gauge trackage had
to be laid and provided with rolling stock. A carrying capacity
of 30,000 tons per day had to be supplied. No less than 110,000-
motor vehicles were sent across. Storehouses aggregating an
area of 23,000,000 square feet were constructed. Our Signal
Corps strung its wires all over France laying more than 100,000
miles of wire. We had 133 complete telegraph stations, 282
telephone exchanges, 14,965 telephone lines reaching 8,959 dif-
ferent stations. Construction projects for the army in the
United States and France cost between three and four times.

[20]
Jefferson County in the World War

as much as the Panama Canal and the construction had to be
and was completed in days as compared with the years of work
on the Canal.

During the years that intervened between the beginning of
the World War and our engagement in it, there was consider-
able discussion throughout the country on the subject of our
preparedness. However, as enunciated by its most earnest ad-
vocates, it seldom if ever involved the thought of an army of
over 500,000 men. No one in those years considered the pos-
sibility of the immediate raising of an army of over 4,000,000.
No one, whether connected with the government or otherwise,
advocated an equipment in rifles, artillery and ammuni-
tion for an army of over 500,000. Needless to say, therefore,
when the time came to so rapidly equip our immense army it
found both the country and the government unprepared.

We had 600,000 Springfield rifles, an initial equipment suf-
ficient for an army of about 1,000,000 men. The factories’ out-
put of Springfields was increased and the manufacturing of the
new Enfield, a modification from the English, chambered to use
Springfield ammunition, was begun in September, 1917. Be-
fore the war, we had facilities for manufacturing about 587,000
rifles per month. The quantity output was rapidly and steadily
increased month by month so that in November, 1918, the
government had accepted 3,210,000 rifles and by April, 1919,
under war contracts it had accepted 3,550,000. It is generally
conceded that the American troops were armed with rifles in ac-
curacy and rapidity of fire superior to those used by any other
forces in Europe, either allied or enemy.

The use of machine guns on a large scale was a develop-
ment of the European War. In 1912 Congress sanctioned an
allotment to the War Department of four machine guns per
regiment; in 1919, as a result of the experiences of the war, the
army plans provided for 366 machine guns per regiment. A
board of army officers and engineers, appointed to make com-
parative tests of all makes, reported in favor of the Vickers heavy
machine gun and 4,000 of these were ordered in December, 1916,
of which 2,001 had been delivered by the end of 1917. In the
meantime the Browning had been invented and pronounced by
the agreement of substantially all military men as the best heavy

most practical automatic rifle. The Lewis gun was too heavy
for use as an automatic rifle and was not capable of the long
sustained firing necessary for a heavy gun. A quantity of the
Lewis guns was used in our aircraft. Up to December 31st
1917, we had accepted only 8,000 new machine guns, in November,
1918, we had accepted 201,000 and in December that amount had
been increased to 226,557 of which 56,612 were heavy and
69,960 light Brownings, 12,125 were Vickers, 39,200 were Lewis
aircraft and 3,800 Marlin aircraft. There were used by our army
in France 4,608 light and 1,168 heavy Browning guns, 2,340
Vickers, 1,393 Lewis, 1,220 Marlin, 1,820 Vickers aircraft machine
guns. In addition there had been secured from the French and
British 5,300 heavy machine guns, of which nearly all were the
French Hotchkiss, and 34,000 French Chauchat automatic rifles.

Of small-arms ammunition, the American production amounted
to 8,500,000,000 rounds of which 1,800,000,000 were shipped over
seas. In addition we procured 200,000,000 rounds from the
French and British. There was no time that our army in France
was not abundantly supplied with ammunition and no time after
January, 1918, that it was not abundantly supplied with small
arms.

The United States had, when war was declared, sufficient
light artillery for an army of 500,000 men. Our manufacturing
plants could not equip themselves with machinery for the manu-
facture of artillery with sufficient rapidity to keep pace with the
increase of the army and it was, therefore, decided in June,
1917, to allot our guns to training purposes and equip our forces
abroad with artillery obtained from England and France, we
to furnish these countries with the equivalent quantities of steel,
copper, etc., so that they might continue to manufacture the
guns. In this way our army was taken care of in the emergency,
the plan being that later our factories would be prepared to
supply the demand. The artillery from the French and British
was secured as needed, but our factories were slower in pro
duction than had been anticipated. Up to January, 1918, our
plants had produced but one complete unit of artillery. That
month they produced 58 and in October 420. In November the
total production had been 1,826 pieces and although the manu-
facturing was stopped as soon as possible after the Armistice,
guns in process of manufacture had to be accepted and in April,

[ 22]
Jefferson County in the World War

1919, 3,077 complete units of artillery had been produced in the
United States. Comparing what we produced during our first
twenty months in the war with that produced by the British
during their first twenty months, we produced 1,026 pieces of
light and 704 of heavy artillery as against British production
of 3,559 light and 379 of heavy.

In regard to artillery ammunition, however, by reason of so
many of our plants having been engaged in producing shells for
the allied governments before we had entered the war, we were
from the outset in excellent condition. Comparing what we
produced during our first twenty months in the war with that
produced by the British during their first twenty months we
find we produced 28,774,000 rounds of light and 6,704,000 of
heavy artillery shells as against British production of 23,328,000
light and 1,553,000 heavy.

So far as the allies were concerned the war in a large
measure was fought from the beginning with American powder
and high explosives. At the end of the war, our production of
smokeless powder was 45% greater than that of France and the
British empire combined and in high explosives 40% greater
than the British and nearly double that of France. During the
war we produced 10,000 tons of gas, much of which was sold to
the British and French. We had 2,250 pieces of heavy artillery
on the firing line of which, however, only about 100 pieces had
been made in America. :

As an efficient war equipment the airplane had its in-
ception with the World War. In this branch of service our
government, when it entered into the war, was confronted with
three primary requisites. It had to obtain aviators, training
planes and service planes. The whole organization, both as to
procuring men and procuring planes, had to be created.

In April, 1917, the United States had three aviation fields
and fifty-five serviceable airplanes, but all of these fifty-five
planes were obsolete. Rapid strides in plane construction and
operation had been made in Europe growing out of the neces-
sities and experiences of the war. But these were secrets
jealously guarded from neutral and enemy alike. Not until our
entrance into the war did the allies raise the veil which con-
cealed all the existing knowledge concerning the construction

of efficient war air-craft.
[28]
Jefferson County in the World War

We possessed a few trained civilian aviators. In the army
air service had been unpopular. It was restricted to unmarried
men under thirty years of age and offered no assured future.
True, it appealed to the younger and more reckless of the service,
but among those of the age, discretion, judgment and scientific
knowledge who alone could be looked upon to develop this branch
of service, air-craft construction and operation had met with
little thought or consideration.

The first call of our allies was for men. They wanted
5,000 American aviators. These had to be trained and we had
no efficient planes, no adequate organization, no qualified per-
sonnel. In April, 1917, the army had but 75 officers who knew
anything of air service. Needless to say, there was a shortage
of instructors. The allies sent some over, but for a long time
a large proportion of the graduates in flying had to be retained
as instructors in the camps and fields at home. It is obvious
that the training of an aviator necessary for combat service
must be long and thorough. But we had at the date of the
Armistice 27 fields in operation with 1,063 instructors and
6,528 men in process of training, 8,602 had been graduated from
elementary and 4,028 from advanced training. More than 5,000
pilots and observers had been sent to the A. E. F. of whom
1,228 were on flying duty in the front line. The total per-
sonnel of our air service amounted to nearly 200,000 men at
the close of the war.

A greater problem was to produce training planes. There
was delay in agreeing upon the kind of planes required, but once
agreed upon, orders were pressed rapidly and delivery began in
January, 1918. To the date of the Armistice, 3,700 efficient
training planes and 2,500 advanced training planes had been
produced. About 2,500 of the latter had also been purchased
in Europe for training the units in the A. E. F.

In Europe, airplanes were being rapidly improved and
changed as experience taught what was most efficient. The
allied authorities, therefore, urged that America concentrate
its efforts on the production of the more stable training, ob-
servation and bombing planes, leaving the production of
pursuit and combat planes to European factories which were
in closer contact with the front and could, therefore, meet
the changing conditions more rapidly. At the time of

[24]
Jefferson County in the World War

the Armistice, the DeHaviland-4 observation and bombing
planes were being produced in the United States at the rate of
over 1,100 per month, 3,277 had been completed, 1,885 of which
had been shippped to France and 777 were at the front.

America’s greatest contribution to war aviation was the
Liberty Motor, concededly the best all around air service motor
in existence. Being the joint production of the engine experts
of the country, it was slow in getting started, but when once
agreed upon, standardized and past the experimental stage, pro-
duction rapidly increased so that in October, 1918, the output
was 3,850 and at the date of the Armistice the total production
had been 13,574 of which 4,485 had been sent to the A. E. F.
and 1,025 delivered to British, French and Italian air service.

In the manufacture of observation balloons, our country
rapidly took the lead. At the time of the Armistice we had
produced 642 and had received 20 from the French; 43 had been
destroyed and 35 given to the French and British. We had left,
therefore, 574 balloons and on the same date Belgium had 6, the
British 43, the French 72, and the Germans 170 on the western
front. In other words, we had nearly twice as many observa-
tion balloons on the western front as our allies and the enemy
combined.

While American aviators in the Lafayette Escadrille had
long been in service, strictly American aviation operations did
not commence until March, 1918. In April, we had three air
squadrons in action and the service rapidly and steadily in-.
creased until in November, 1918, we had 45 squadrons and they
had performed valiant service in the Cheateau Thierry, San
Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne campaigns. Judged by results, our
air service men at the front did extremely well. They destroyed
755 enemy planes and lost but 357, destroyed 71 enemy balloons
and lost but 43.

Two out of every three' American soldiers who reached
France took part in battle. They saw service all along the
western front from the British lines in Belgium to the inactive
sectors in the Vosges. On October 21, 1917, Americans en-
tered the lines in the Toul sector and from that time until the
date of the Armistice, American units somewhere in the line
were ever facing the German enemy. The period of our actual en-
gagement in the battle zone was one year and twenty-two days.

Our army took part in thirteen major operations which may
properly be called distinctive battles, twelve of which were on the
western front and one in Italy. The names and dates of the

It is mere vaporizing braggadocio to say that we won the
victory over Germany. It would be equally vain braggadocio
for the British or the French or the Italians to say they won it.
It was the combined armies and navies, the over-whelming in-
eessant pressure, that brought Germany to her knees. It is
sufficient glory for America to say that she assisted and that
it was our soldiers who turned the scale. Up to the middle of
dune, 1918, the rifle strength on the western front was in favor
of Germany. By that time we had 19 divisions in France, 7 of

[27]
Jefferson County in the World War

which were at the front. From the middle of June until No-
vember 11th, the rifle strength of Germany gradually, and at
the last rapidly, declined while the allied rifle strength, owing
to the fresh American divisions rapidly thrown in, gradually
increased. April 1st, the relative strength on the western front was
1,569,000 Germans and 1,245,000 allies; September 1st, 1,672,000
allies and 1,139,000 Germans; and November 1st, 1,485,000 allies
and 866,000 Germans. Comparing the length of line held by the

out of 715, at that time 133 kilometers being held by the
British and 393 kilometers by the French. After August until
the date of the Armistice, American troops held a longer sector
of the line than did the British. At the finish we also had more
men in line than the British, 36% of the whole as against the
British 28% and the French 41%.

By five successive drives of unprecedented violence during the
five consecutive months beginning in March, 1918, the Germans
sought to break the allied lines. The turning point of the war
came in July when the German advance was blocked in the
region of the Aisne and the Marne. The initiative then passed
from Ludendorf to Marshal Foch, Gen. Pershing having taken
the initiative in unifying the allied armies all under Foch’s direct
command. In six operations, in all of which the American

beyond, the French frontier. The battle of the Meuse-Argonne
was beyond comparison the greatest battle ever fought by
American troops and will rank as one of the greatest, if not the
very greatest, battle in the history of the world. In that battle,
1,200,000 Americans were engaged for 47 days. They employed
2,417 pieces of artillery firing 4,214,000 rounds of ammunition,
used 840 airplanes, dropped 100 tons of explosives on the
German lines, used 324 tanks, penetrated 34 miles of the

The head of “others” in diagram 6, amounting in all to
10,709, includes losses in depot and re-placement divisions and
troops not in divisions. Many of these deserted to the front.
They went without leave from their organizations in the zone
of supplies or ‘training areas, found their way to the battle
line, took part in the fighting and some were killed or wounded.
These “desertions” ‘were so numerous that General Pershing
issued an order by which trained men who had rendered good
service behind the line could secure an opportunity to go to the

[31]
Jefferson County in the World War

front and fight. Our soldiers, even with their comparatively
meager training and experience, in efficiency as well as in
courage, proved themselves to be second to none in the world.

The American Navy has established a glorious record of
achievement in every war in which the United States has en-
gaged. In the World War it fully sustained its best traditions.
Twenty-two days after we declared war, an American Squadron
was in an English port and reporting to the British Commander
as ready to go into action at once. Our warships formed a part
of the North Sea fleet which maintained a blockade effectually
confining the German vessels to their own ports. Our mine
sweepers and submarine destroyers assisted in maintaining, so
far as human efforts could maintain, a safe passage to and from
the ports of France. <A part of the fleet patrolled our coast,
guarding against attack from submarines.

But the great outstanding achievement of the navy was
the transportation of our millions of troops to France—with
practically no loss. Every fleet of transports was guarded
by our, and our allies’, warships from the time it left an
American port until it disembarked its precious human
freight on English or French soil. And it is due largely
to our navy that the A. E. F. was so rapidly and safely brought.
back home.

The character of the war, as it was carried out on the sea,
was one of hard and continuous but of quiet and unseen effort
and achievement. It permitted nothing of the sensational
features formerly pertaining to service on the sea. As to the
individual ships, sailors and commanders, largely it consisted
in the formation of squadrons surrounding a troop transport
fleet, accompanying that fleet to points near the French or En-
glish coasts, turning it over to another squadron operating near
the coast consisting principally of destroyers, turning about
in mid-sea often without even sighting foreign soil, hurrying
back to America and repeating again, again and again. Through
cold and storm and sea and sleet, with the menace of the mine
and the submarine always present, the American sailor quietly,
bravely and efficiently performed his assigned duty and accom-
plished results never before approached by any navy in the
world. He safely guarded the transportation of our army and
supplies across 3,000 miles of sea without which service our

[82]
Jefferson County in the World War

eountry could at best have performed but a sorry and small part
in the winning of the World War.

At the beginning of the war we had 197 warships. We had
2,003 at its close. Besides we armed 2,500 merchant ships. We
increased the number of our ship yards from 61 to more than
200 as well as greatly enlarging the capacity of those we had.
Five hundred ninety-two new ships were delivered to the
shipping board before the end of 1918. And we are now, be-
yond possible question, the second naval power in the world.

Of every 100 American soldiers and sailors who took part
in the World War, two were killed or died of disease during the
period of hostilities. In the northern army during the Civil
War out of 100 men, ten were killed or died. Among the other
nations in this war between twenty and twenty-five in each
hundred called to the colors were killed or died. Relatively,
therefore, our losses in this war were one-fifth as large as in
the Civil War and less than one-tenth as large as in the ranks
ef our allies and the enemy.

The World War was not only the greatest but the bloodiest
war that was ever fought. The following figures show the
battle deaths of the nations engaged. Only deaths resulting di-
rectly from action are included and they are greater than all the
deaths in all the wars of the world during the previous 100 years.

In our army the heaviest losses were in the Meuse-Argonne
drive from the last of September to November 11th. During
a part of that period our losses amounted to an average of over
850 battle deaths each day. The heaviest death rate was in the
infantry and machine gun units amounting to about 80 officers
and 52 men out of each thousand who reached France. The air
service came next with 38 officers and less than one man per
thousand. Among the men, next to the infantry and machine
gun, the Signal Corps proved the most hazardous, losing 8 out
of every 1000 who reached France.

The total number of lives lost in our army from battle and
disease amounts to 115,660 and in the navy 9,840, making the
total service loss 125,500. Seventy-nine thousand six hundred
ten died over-seas and 36,050 in the service on this side.
As against 50,280 battle deaths, 57,460 died of disease and
7,920 from accident and other causes. Of those who died of
disease, 60 per cent. were in service in the United States and
40 per cent. in the A. E. F. Seven hundred sixty-eight
men were lost at sea of whom 381 were killed or drowned by
enemies’ submarines. Of the 57,460 deaths from disease, more
than 40,000 were from pneumonia; and of this 40,000 about
25,000 as a result of the influenza epidemic which swept through
the camps and cantonments and afflicted soldiers and civilians
alike. From September 14th to November 8th, 1918, less than two
months, there were 316,089 cases of influenza and 53,449 of
pneumonia among the troops in this country and the death rate
advanced from something like one man out of 10,000 in August
to four men out of 1,000 in October. Had the unforeseen and
unpreventable influenza epidemic with its 25,000 deaths not in-
flicted itself on our army, the death rate from disease would
have been incomparably low. :

In the A. E. F. alone, battle losses were almost three times
as large as deaths from disease. This is the first war the United
States ever engaged in when the number of deaths from disease
was not much larger than those from battle. Among 1,000 troops
during a year’s fighting in the Mexican War, deaths from disease
were 110 and from battle fifteen; in the Civil War, 65 from
disease and 33 from battle; in the Spanish War, 26 from disease
and 5 from battle; in the A. E. F in France, 19 from disease
and 53 from battle.

For a period of 25 months, from April, 1917, the war cost
the United States considerably more than $1,000,000 an hour.
The disbursements for the army during that time amounted to
$14,000,000,000. The total treasury disbursements for war
purposes during that period were $21,850,000,000. This amount
is nearly large enough to pay the entire costs of running our
government from 1791 to the time of the commencement of the
European War and it would have carried on our Revolutionary
War continuously for more than 1,000 years at the rate of ex-
penditures that war actually involved.

In addition to our expenditures, we loaned the allied gov-
ernments $8,850,000,000 making $30,700,000,000 raised in the
United States and used for war purposes from April, 1917, to
May ist, 1919.

The estimated war expenditures of the principal nations en-
gaged in the World War to April 30th, 1919, are as follows:

It has well been said, “Peace hath her victories no less than
war.” The United States earned and the world conceded to
her, not only a leading place during the last months in the
conduct of the war, but also, perhaps, the very first place among
all the powers in the bringing about of peace. From the first,
because of the manifestly unselfish spirit this nation showed,
we won the confidence of our allies and of neutral nations to
a degree never before equalled by any nation in the history of
the world. Because of this and, also, probably because of his
powers of clear, forceful expression, our President was, from
the first, made the spokesman of the allies in the presentation
of the causes for which they and we were fighting and, later, of
the terms upon which a peace with Germany might be concluded.
The famous “Fourteen Points,” immediately upon their utterance,
became the new testament of the world. And, at the Peace
Table at Versailles, it ought to inspire no slight feeling of
national pride that our President was accorded, as of course, a
place among the “Fig Four” which controlled the situation and
settled the terms of peace.

The treaty then agreed to and signed by representatives of
substantially all the nations of the earth was concluded at Ver-
sailles, France, June 28th, 1919. By October it had been ratified
by Germany, by France, by England, by Italy and Japan; among
the great nations of the world the United States stands with
Boleshevik Russia and with sleepy China in voting against its
ratification and nominally we are still at war. Without ques-
tion no one single nation is absolutely satisfied with the terms of
this covenant. It was the same way with the adoption of the con-
stitution of the United States. Some states did not receive
the advantages they hoped for and to which they believed them-
selves to be entitled. Others found in the Constitution, as critics
now find in the Peace document, principles and obligations te.

[86]

which they dislike to subscribe. From the nature of the situa-
tion, the number of questions, the conflicting interests to be
solved and composed, and from the number of parties to be
brought together in a compact to which each would subscribe,
it was necessarily a matter for compromise, for give and take,
between the delegates in their negotiations. And a compromise
between conflicting interests and views was the best that could
be hoped to obtain. But of the Treaty of Peace this much
may be said, we believe, without serious or honest contradiction
or criticism:—it represents the best thought and effort of the
most experienced diplomats and statesmen of the whole world,—-
men whose patriotism, love of country and of humanity are
ansurpassed. And, a point which seems often to be forgotten,
the binding force of the document and its restraining in-
fluences will apply upon every great power, and substantially
upon every power, in the world and in an equal degree and not
to the United States or to any one country alone.

At the beginning, and all through the period of our par-
ticipation in the war, the unselfish spirit and patriotism of our
people have never been surpassed. Truly, “We have fought the
fight; we have won the race; we have kept the faith.” It yet
remains to be seen whether our people and our political parties
will continue the great record they have made in wisely, un-
selfishly, patriotically solving the problems growing out of and
continuing after the war and in ratifying in spirit at least the
treaty agreed upon at Versailles. It, or something like it, is all
we have to rest our hopes upon for a lasting peace. It was a
“lasting peace” that we told our boys they were going to France
to fight for; they went and many of them gave their lives. It
is for the future to reveal whether our people, our statesmen,
eur politicians shall keep faith with our dead and whether we
shall retain what our present dallying and delay is fast losing,
the respect of the world.

The American Fund for French
Wounded

HE first organized war work undertaken by Jefferson County
Lee done by women. In December, 1916, a branch of the

American Fund for French Wounded was organized by them,
at first working under the Boston and later the New York
division. The inspiration for and the purpose and work of this
branch may be best expressed in the language of the report
addressed to the editor of this book by its organizer. “The
great need of supplies to help France in her terrible struggle
for liberty appealed very strongly to the people who realized the
great obligation we were under to France and that it was our
duty to repay without stint. Our women gave generously of
their time and money. The interest in the work spread very
rapidly and in about three months branches had been organized
in all of the towns of any size in Jefferson County and a few
outside that asked to be taken in with us. The work done was
of a very high standard, it being reported to us that Jefferson
County stood next to Boston in the grade of work.”

To “carry on,” if we be permitted to adopt an expression
from the front, the women raised the money for the purchase
of the materials and made them up into the required articles
with their own hands. During the seven months of their
existence the Jefferson County branches made up and shipped
162,730 surgical dressings and 25,620 hospital supplies, and the
total value of their product at wholesale rates was $17,772.20.
They raised $8,519.13 by pledges, gifts, benefits, etc., and used
$7,927.01 of it for raw material, supplies, etc.

They affiliated themselves with the Jefferson County Pre-
paredness League when the latter was organized, each organiza-
tion mutually assisting the other, and voluntarily merged them-
selves with the American Red Cross which, being the sole agency
selected by the United States government for this kind of work,.
was thought better adapted to supply the needs of our own

[88 ]
Jefferson County in the World War

American boys which, all were agreed, should be the first con-
sideration after we entered the war. Upon this merger they
turned over the balance remaining in their treasury, $592.12 and
material amounting in value to $1,319.48 to the Jefferson County
Chapter of the Red Cross. Recognition of the spirit in which
the presentation was given and received is attested by the fol-
lowing resolution adopted by the Red Cross:

“WHEREAS, the great patriotic service rendered during the
last year and more in this county by the organization of women
under the name of American Fund for French Wounded has
been such as to commend itself to our citizens, and

“WHEREAS, the unselfish spirit which has prompted the
members of that organization to merge their work and activities
into and under the American Red Cross, the latter being the
only officially recognized body for the future carrying on of such
work, is thoroughly appreciated by the officers and members
of the Jefferson County Chapter of the Red Cross, and

“WHEREAS, in continuation of the same unselfish spirit of
patriotic endeavor, the said French Wounded organization
through its proper officers has presented to the said Chapter of
Red Cross the material which it has purchased and has now
on hand amounting in value to $1,319.48. Now therefore, be it

“RESOLVED, that the Jefferson County Chapter of Red Cross
and its officers and members do hereby express its apprecia-
tion of the great service rendered, the commendable spirit
shown by the members of the American Fund for French
Wounded organization, and do most heartily thank them for this
valuable and timely gift and, be it further

“RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be transmitted to
the official head of said French Wounded organization by our
Secretary and copies thereof be delivered to the local press.
Dated Sept. 19, 1917.”

Too much credit can not be given to the women of the
American Fund for the French Wounded for the work they did
and the spirit , of unity in the county which they helped so
largely to create and foster. It was the first service in an or-
ganized and effective way rendered our Allies in the great war
"to make the world safe for democracy.” And, this service
in other organizations and in the many other ways they have

[39]
Jefferson County in the World War

been called upon, these women have been always willing and
anxious to give. Whether it be the Red Cross, the Liberty
Loan, the War Chest or, a sacrifice infinitely greater than all,
the giving up of their sons, brothers and husbands to the flag
and to the country for which it stands, the women of this county
have been incomparable in their loyalty, devotion and zeal.

[ 40]
The J efferson County Preparedness
and Efficiency League and
Home Defense Council

| K 7 HEN it became quite apparent that the United States would
become involved in the World War, scores of societies and
associations assuming to be national in character started
up, all promoted by good, patriotic people inspired by the best of
motives, which, through the mails and newspapers or by personal
solicitation sought to procure and increase their membership. It
could readily be foreseen that the purposes and the activities of
these different societies, which a short time after war was de-
clared aggregated over one hundred fifty in number, would
‘overlap each other causing duplication of work, confusion and
probable discord and disorder at a time when organized unity
and efficiency were of the utmost importance. To discourage
and, if possible, prevent the people of this county from join-
ing so many different organizations working at cross purposes,
the County Judge of the County and the Mayor of Watertown
joined in a letter to the public calling a meeting for the purpose
ef organizing a central organization as a sort of clearing house
to take general charge of our war work activities. This letter was
published March 1, 1917, and requested that all organized so-
cieties of every nature in the city and county appoint one
delegate to attend a meeting to be held March 9, 1917, for the
purpose of taking the preliminary steps for such a central or-
ganization.

To this call sixty-three societies represented by their chosen
delegates responded and preliminary steps of organization were
taken which were completed at an adjourned meeting held March
16th. The object of the League, as set forth in its constitution,
was among other things to render efficient aid in the event of
war through Relief and Red Cross Work and to properly care
for our soldiers and sailors and their families. Membership
was limited to accredited representatives from any and every

[41]
Jefferson County in the World War

duly organized society within the county. Officers and an
executive committee were elected and this committee was au-
thorized to designate persons and committees to take charge of
or assist in all war work that might become necessary or proper.

As the organization developed it came to include nearly two
hundred civie societies, such as sportsmen’s organizations, lodges,
churches, etc., and combined practically all the diversified social
activities of the communities. From first to last the work has
been done without the slightest friction, the people of the whole
county working together in perfect harmony.

In April, 1917, the State Home Defense Council was or-
ganized under state statute, and appointed the County Judge,
the chairman of the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor of
cities within a county to select the respective County Defense
Committees. In this county these officials selected those who
had previously been made officers or members of the Executive
Committee of the League, the only change in the existing or-
ganization being that the words “Home Defense Council’ were
added to the former title “The County Preparedness and Ef-
ficiency League.” So the war work went on without interrup-
tion and without change in organization or personnel.

That the County was fortunate in forming this organiza-
tion at so early a date is clear. In other Counties, branches
of so-called National Organizations without number were started,
several in each county and community, with the result that it
was found afterwards to be more of a task to co-ordinate and
harmonize the work of the various organizations than it was
to do the war-work itself, much time was wasted with con-
sequent loss of efficiency and effort and more or less friction
and jealousy was generated between those enlisted with different
organizations. The result was a drawing apart rather than a
unity of action and spirit between people of the different com-
munities. But owing to our early action here this was all
avoided. It is impossible to see, even now with the work done,
how the people of the county could have wrought more efficiently,
more loyally, to better purpose, or could have accomplished
better results. Comparing our. organization and results with
those of other counties, we see clearly that our success with a
minimum of effort was due largely to the formation of this

{ 42 J
Jefferson County in the World War

general war work organization before different and diversified
Separate organizations were permitted to get a start.

It is impossible in the space available to even briefly out-
Wine the many and different activities in which the League has
engaged or assisted. It financed all war work during the early
stages of the war period. It worked out the plans and organized
the War Chest Campaigns. It harmonized and brought together
the American Fund for French Relief and the Red Cross and
took the initial steps for organizing the Jefferson County
Chapter of the latter. It assisted and financed the County
Food Conservation Officers’ Work. It looked out for the wel-
fare and support of soldiers’ and sailors’ families until that
work was taken over by the Red Cross, the chairman of the
Home Relief Section of Red Cross being also the chairman of
the Home Relief committee of the League. Through its dif-
ferent committees it planned and carried out the defense pro-
jects which were at first felt necessary on account of general
fear that railroad bridges and manufacturing plants would be
destroyed. It investigated the words and acts of those under
suspicion of being enemies of the United States, either alien or
atherwise. It assisted in and financed the State Military
Census. It provided entertainment for the Officers’ Train-
ing Camps, later for the privates and, later still, for those who
were returned from the war crippled or disabled, at Madison
Barracks. It sent means of entertainment to the boys from
the County located in the big camps. Meetings were held under
its auspices throughout the County to emphasize the necessity
of producing food crops and for saving food. It purchased a
dozen steam pressure canners for women of the County to assist
them in the canning and preserving of vegetables, fruits, meats,
ete. It furnished speakers for the War Chest and Liberty
Loan Campaigns; and meetings for all educational purposes like
Americanization, etc., were held by it or under its auspices. It
provided bands, escorts, and dinners in honor of the men who
were leaving to fight for their country. It has assisted the
men while away in hundreds of different ways as matters con-
eerning the individual soldier or sailor have come up. In short,
ao far as it could foresee, it has smoothed out the rough places
fer all war work and for all people engaged therein, civilian

[43 ]
Jefferson County in the World War

‘or military, and has either planned, taken charge of or assisted
in every worthy enterprise connected with Jefferson County’s
part in winning the war. And, more effective than all the rest,
it has harmonized and unified the work so that it was done in,
not only an efficient and successful manner, but with a spirit
of community and county unity and comradeship that is im-
possible to describe but which should and will continue after
war work shall have become only a memory.

The League has worked almost exclusively through com-
mittees in a very quiet way and, where it could, has left matters
to some person or organization most capable of carrying out
that particular line successfully. It has invariably found every
person and every organization always ready and willing to do
his, her or its part when called upon; and to this readiness on
the part of all the people of the county rests the success of the
League and the success with which Jefferson County has met
its every obligation connected with the winning of the war.

Food Conservation and Distribution

HORTLY after the United States entered the war against
S Germany food conditions in this country became 80 acute and

prices advanced to such an extent that it became apparent
some kind of Food Control was necessary. On August 10, 1917,
the “Lever Act,” designed among other things to control the
supply and distribution of all food supplies as well as regu-
lating the price thereof, became a Federal law. To carry out
the provisions of this act the President appointed Mr. Herbert
Hoover as Food Administrator for the United States, and he
in turn appointed a State Food Administrator for each State
and the State Food Administrator appointed a County Food
Administrator for every County in his State. The County
Food Administrator for Jefferson County was appointed on
January 1, 1918. This officer was assisted in his duties by
thirteen deputies and all the work of both the Principal Food
Administrator and the deputies was rendered gratuitously.

The urgency of this act will be clearly seen when it is re-
membered that food commodities in a very short time had
doubled in price; the most important item of food, namely,
wheat flour, went from eight dollars to twenty dollars a barrel
in two months. The duties of the County Food Administrator
were to keep in touch with and to act under the advice of the
State Food Administrator, to keep the four hundred and fifty
dealers of the county supplied with flour and feed, to advise
the grocers, both wholesale and retail, the bakeries and the
produce dealers, of all the different and changing rules of the
Food Administration and assist them in conforming to the same,

Early in the year 1918 it became quite apparent that some
‘system must be devised to conserve wheat flour. For that
purpose the Food Administration deemed it wise to ask the
people to use substitutes, such as barfey flour, rice flour, rye
flour, cornmeal and corn flour. The first restrictions placed
on wheat flour were that it should be used as 75-25, that is,
75% wheat flour and 25% substitute, but as the necessity for

{ 47]
Jefferson County in the World War

further conserving the supply became more apparent the
people were asked to still further make use of substitute flours
in the proportion of 50-50. With this limitation on the use
of wheat flour we were enabled to send to Europe an amount
sufficient to feed the allied armies and peoples and, also, to
provide for the needs of our own country. But so acute was
the situation that on the first of August, 1918, when flour
from new wheat came on the market, there was not in the
United States more than a seven days’ supply of wheat flour
and, had it not been for the conservation and the use of sub-
stitutes, there would have been a shortage bordering on
famine.

What was true of wheat flour was also true of sugar. Late
in 1917 there was a serious shortage in sugar, so much so, in
fact, that dealers were only selling from one to two pounds to
an individual family. This prompted many people to use un-
fair methods to secure more sugar than they were entitled
to. So, early in the year 1918 the people were put upon a
sugar ration system of three pounds per person, per month.
Even with these restrictions unfair methods were used for
securing sugar and it became evident that the card system was
the only way to secure a fair distribution of the product. So
on August 1st sugar cards were issued in this county allowing
each person two pounds of sugar per month, that amount be-
ing punched out on their cards upon each purchase. This
ration continued until September 1, 1918, when three pounds
of sugar, per person, per month were allowed. This restriction
was continued until November Ist, 1918,.when people were
allowed to buy such amounts of sugar as they required for
their needs. Sugar for canning purposes was procured under
a certificate system whereby the person requiring sugar for
canning could, by signing a certificate, buy twenty-five pounds
of sugar at one time and could duplicate this purchase as many
times as was necessary to provide the family with canned
fruit for winter use. Hoarding of any necessary food product
was forbidden and severe penalties were provided for viola-
tions of this rule. It is encouraging to state, however, that.
but forty persons in this county were called before the County
Food Administrator for discipline or punishment.

[ 48 ]
Jefferson County in the World War

This department also carried on a campaign with farmers
to stimulate the raising of wheat in the different parts of the
eounty. Addresses were made along these lines with the
result that in Jefferson County alone there were raised 200,000
bushels of wheat, where practically none had been raised before.
A like campaign was inaugurated encouraging the people to
plant war gardens and provide themselves with their own
canned vegetables, as the government had taken over all the
eanning factories in the country and it was quite evident that
unless this was done there would be a shortage of canned
vegetables for the coming year.

In this connection it would be proper to state that in all
the activities of this office the people of the county showed their
willingness, generally, to comply with all the rules and re-
- strictions that were issued by the department and some even
went further in the conservation of food than was required of
them by the rules.

Another part of the Food Administration in the county was
engaged in preaching and teaching the necessity of food con-
servation long before the passage of the Lever Act and, while
the idea that war conditions required all people, rich or poor,
to save food permeated the public mind slowly, once convinced
of the necessity, the people of our county responded patri-
otically to the call.

The Federal Food Administrator, Herbert Hoover, fur-
nished the slogan “Food will win the War.” A nation-wide
organization was built up to promulgate this idea. A county
administrator was appointed whose duty was to bring this slogan
sharply to the mind of every person. This was in addition to
and before the appointment of the other Food Administrator,
the latter’s most important duty being to see that the “Lever
Act” and all rules adopted by the Federal Food Control Board
be rigidly enforced. Thus, after January 1st, 1918, we had
in this county two Food Administrators whose respective
duties were not very clearly separated, distinguished or de-
fined. But, notwithstanding what would seem like a conflict
or division in authority, owing to the sensible patriotic spirit
of the two men, everything worked out harmoniously and well.

As it resolved itself, the duties of the first appointee were

[49]
Jefferson County in the World War

directed largely to publicity of food saving propaganda and of
procuring voluntary pledges of housewives to conserve; the
duties of the second, while it also embraced the enforcement of
the law and rules in the household, related more to the regu-
lation of wholesalers and retailers of food.

The first appointee immediately at the beginning of war
organized a campaign of education. Through the press, the
churches and by public meetings addressed by the administrator
and others throughout the county, the necessity of feeding our
allies and their armies as well as our own army was demon-
strated. Some people, until fully informed, looked upon food
conservation as a personal charity for Belgians or Frenchmen;
they had to be shown that it was primarily a matter of
national self-defense. To continue to fight, our European allies
had to be fed. After we entered the war, they were fighting
on our side, for us as well as for themselves. The United
States was the only available granary of the world and we must
not only raise more food but save more food, if we were to
continue the supply. When once the people of the county were
impressed with this, the rest was easy.

Following up and concurrent with the education campaign,
food pledges were distributed into every household in the county.
These cards summarized briefly the imperative necessity for
food conservation, recommended substitutes for those foods
most required for export, and the women were asked to sign
a pledge to save and substitute whenever they could.

Jefferson County men increased their food products and
Jefferson County women conserved the supply to a degree, we
believe, not excelled by any county in the United States.

[50]
The Fuel Administration

HE United States Fuel Administration came into being
Th ace 23rd, 1917, by proclamation of the President of

the United States, issued under authority of an Act of Con-
gress passed August 10th, 1917, known as the “Lever Act.”
The President appointed a United States Fuel Administrator
and charged him with the duty of and responsibility for the
equitable distribution under just prices of the coal supply of
the United States. He at once proceeded to organize the ad-
ministration by the appointment of State Administrators, who
in turn appointed County Fuel Administrators, all to serve with-
out compensation. The Fuel Administrator for Jefferson
County was appointed October 27th, 1917.

The work divided itself into two distinct branches, one the
supply of anthracite largely for domestic consumption, the
other the supply of bituminous coal] for industrial plants. The
failure of New England to get its coal supply by water as
usual cast a new burden upon the railroads and threw the whole
normal distribution out of joint, with the result that the re-
sponsibility cast upon county fuel administrators in the State
of New York became serious, and this was especially true of
the most northern sections of this country. The difficulties were
enhanced by the intense severity of the winter of 1917-1918.

There were about fifty-seven dealers in the County of Jef-
ferson, a large proportion of whom became dependent for their
fuel supply upon the efforts of the local fuel administrator.
The condition in the City of Watertown was especially acute
because of the increase in population and the consequently ab-
normal demand for coal. It could not safely be told then but
ean be now that during the severest of weather there was scarcely
enough coal in the city to meet the daily requirements of those
out of coal. So critical was the situation that at one time the
largest coal dealer for the first time in forty-seven years found
himself entirely out of the domestic sizes of coal. It was nec-
essary to seize coal passing through the City of Watertown and

[51]
Jefferson County in the World War

bound for Canada, and this was done without hesitation and
without authority excepting implied authority subsequently
confirmed by Washington. In order to equalize the distribution
in the county it, at times, was necessary to divert coal con-
signed to one place to another needing it more.

Especial efforts were made during the coldest weather te
insure the distribution of small amounts of coal to those actually
out, so that in this county while there may have been some in-
eonvenience there was, so far as known, no actual suffering on
account of lack of coal. At times when there were not over
three hundred tons of coal in Watertown on any day, there were
a thousand applicants for coal; consequently for a long period
of time it was necessary to limit the distribution to five hundred
pounds to a household. We have no hesitation in saying that
had it not been for the Fuel Administration, which had un-
limited powers over the distribution of coal, there would have
been most intense suffering and probably death in this terri-
tory on account of cold during that winter.

The relationship of the people of the City of Watertown te
the mills of Northern New York, and the fact that most of
the coal supply for these mills was distributed through Water-
town made the Fuel Administrator of this county responsible
for the greater proportion of bituminous coal consumed in the
Counties of Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Lewis and Franklin,
amounting to a distribution of about five hundred thousand tons
for the year. On one occasion in 1917 practically the whole
bituminous coal supply of Northern New York was shut off
by orders from Washington, diverted to essential war in-
dustries, and it seemed that our whole industrial life would
be stopped, but efforts were put forth which resulted in the
restoration of coal to meet the necessities of the industrial life
of Northern New York.

There can be no doubt that, both as to bituminous and as
to anthracite coal, prices would have reached an almost pro-
hibitive point had it not been for the regulation thereof by the
Fuel Administration. We realize this when we learn that in
Europe prices as high as seventy dollars a ton were paid for
coal for domestic consumption. The public spirit of cooperation
with the Fuel Administration was splendid. It was the custom
for County Fuel Administrators to appoint an advisory com-

[52]
Jefferson County in the World War

mittee to assist in the solution of difficult problems. This was
done in this county and efficient work was performed by this
advisory committee. The cooperation of the St. Lawrence Di-
vision of the New York Central Railroad was complete. The
officials of the railroad were keenly alive to the situation, and
during the times of extreme difficulty did not hesitate to bring
eoal into Watertown by special train.

The Local and State Fuel Administrations went out of ex-
istence March 1st, 1919. While the Fuel Administration at
Washington and in the state and in counties made mistakes,
looked at broadly its creation was a war necessity, its service
was a gratuitous service and on the whole met the situation as
well as any new agency for such a tremendous enterprise could.

[88]
The State Military Census

HE State Legislature of 1916-1917 made an appropriation

for a state military census. The amount was not sufficiently

large to incur the expense of paid workers and it was in-
tended from the beginning that it should be done through
volunteer work. Just what purpose the enrollment was to
serve, or in fact did serve, was not and is not clear. But this
county in common with the other counties of the state was
called to perform the task and, as in every other war activity,
this county accomplished it well.

On recommendation of the Preparedness and Efficiency
League which financed the expense, Governor Whitman appointed
a County Census Director. The election district was taken as
the unit, in each district the director appointed a captain, each
captain organized his working force and selected a registration
depot. The law providing for the census required every resident
of the state between the ages of sixteen and fifty, both male
and female, to personally appear at these depots and answer
the eighty questions contained in the blanks, designed to fur-
nish information regarding their availability for military service
and civilian service connected therewith. Information was also
required from each registrant concerning the number of horses,
automobiles, etc., in his possession which in case of necessity
could be made available for military or semi-military use.

These blanks were filled out by the workers, signed by the
registrant and sent on to the County Director. A second or-
ganization, therefore, had to be formed at the receiving office
in Watertown to separate these blanks according to a specified
plan designed for convenience of state headquarters in tabu-
lating the information therein contained. For County Census
headquarters the Board of Supervisors turned over its rooms
in the County Building and it was there and at the homes of the
volunteer women workers that the receiving and tabulating di-
vision performed its work.

The work of separating and tabulating involved several
distinct processes in which the blanks had to be arranged, re-

[54]
Jefferson County in the World War

arranged and several copies of each made. Finally the blanks
were arranged in bundles of one-hundred each and three com-
plete sets filed with the State Adjutant General, one in the
office of the county clerk and one, containing the registrants
of each township only, filed in the Town Clerk’s office of the
proper town.

As in all else, the people of our county co-operated splendidly
in this task. Approximately one thousand men and women
contributed their services gratuitously. The press, the clergy,
and different organizations, assisted in putting the requirements
of registration before the public; and the public very promptly,
willingly and efficiently attended to its part.

To obtain the enrollment of all men and women in Jefferson
County between the ages of sixteen and fifty was no incon-
siderable task. Add to this the eighty different items of in-
formation required for each and it will be easily realized that,
except for the co-operation brought about by the stress of war,
the census could not have been accomplished without great
expense. But in this county, owing to the efficient and patriotic
work of the Director and his efficient assistants, the entire cost,
including supplies, stenographers, express, postage, advertising
campaign and offices for registration and tabulation amounted
to less than three hundred dollars. A work of such magnitude
accomplished speedily, accurately and efficiently at so little ex-
-pense entitles all who engaged in it, to high praise.

[ 55 J
The Red Cross

T CAN be said without reflection upon any other war agency
I or activity that in the number of persons engaged, in its

diversified and far reaching activities, and in the good work
it has accomplished, the American Red Cross stands at the
head of Civilian War Work. That a few of its workers in France
lacked tact and failed in comprehending the purpose for which
they were there is, we think, the worst that can be truthfully
said in criticism of its personnel and, in the broad scope and
vision of its purpose and organization and its success in all
forms of relief work at home and abroad, no agency yet devised
by man has contributed so much toward the relief of human
suffering in war time as has the Red Cross. It should be with
no feeble sense of gratification to the people of Jefferson County
that they, almost to an individual, were members of this great
organization and that our County Chapter in work and
efficiency stands in the front ranks.

The Jefferson County Chapter of the Red Cross was or-
ganized in September, 1917, by a committee appointed for the
purpose by the County Preparedness and Efficiency League.
The delay in organization was due to the fact that the American
Fund for French Wounded had been in existence in the county
since the fall of 1916, was engaged in a large part of the same
work done by the Red Cross and had a large membership
throughout the county. With both the Red Cross and the French
Relief Organization working along the same lines, it was felt
that much waste of time, effort and efficiency, and possibly some
friction, would ensue. The Red Cross, being an American or-
ganization and authorized by the government to carry on relief
work, was thought to be the better vehicle for our efforts. The
membership of the French Relief Organization took the same
view and very generously ceased its operations, its members
joined the Red Cross and it turned over its funds and the ma-
terials on hand to the latter organization. Hundreds of women
throughout the county had been interested in the French Relief,
were justly proud of their organization, of what it had done and

[56]
Jefferson County in the World War

“was doing, and to them the thought of giving it up hurt. Too
much cannot be said for the spirit they showed and we think
now all are satisfied that they acted wisely and for the best in
merging their work and efforts into the Red Cross. To har-
moniously accomplish this merger, however, took some time, but
relief work in the meantime went steadily on and the delay in
the organization of the Red Cross in this county cost nothing
in the way of general results.

‘The growth of the County’s Red Cross was almost phe-
nomenal. On May 1st, eight months after the first steps in its
‘organization, it numbered 30,530 members and, at the time of
the armistice, 32,818 members, or 41 per cent. of all the men,
‘women and children in Jefferson County.

The county chapter is composed of 34 branches and these,
all together, have 62 dependent auxiliaries, so that practically
every community has its Red Cross organization. The chapter
receives orders, information and requisitions from the Atlantic
Division which is one of the fifteen parts into which the Ameri-
‘ean Red Cross is divided all under the general direction of the
central executive committee and officers of the American Red
‘Cross.

Every branch, every auxiliary, in this county has been a
busy place since its organization. Materials were passed out,
frequent meetings were held and the difficulty has been, not in
finding willing workers, but in finding material and work
enough for them to do.

The schools of the county have been organized in the Red
Cross, the War Chest, on application by the County Chapter,
contributing 25 cents for each pupil enrolled when the school
applied for membership and, under the immediate direction of
their respective principals and their local Junior Red Cross
chairmen, have engaged in Junior Red Cross work. Alto-
gether there are now 105 schools and 9,930 pupils enrolled.

A Production Committee has supervised the making of
surgical and hospital supplies, sweaters, kits and clothing for
soldiers and sailors and garments for our ally refugees. In all
197,682 surgical dressings were made, wrapped and packed and
these dressings, with 53,384 garments, 350 quilts made from
pieces left from cutting, and conveniences of different kinds
such as sweaters, socks, helmets, kits, etc., have been sent out

[57]
Jefferson County in the World War

from this county. At home, at parties, on trains, in autos, at
church, anywhere and everywhere for the last two years, girls
and women have been knitting, knitting, knitting, most of whom
never thought of even learning to knit before. Three thousand
eight hundred and fifty-eight comfort kit bags and housewives,
5,929 linen articles, such as towels, sheets, etc., for the hospitals
in France, have been made and donated by our women. The total
number of garments and kits made and donated amounts
to 846,419.

The work rooms of the county branches have been open
400 hours each month and with an average of 267 workers
present every day. Eight hundred and seventy women have been
sewing and 1,848 women have been knitting at home. Classes
for instruction were organized in each branch and 121 persons
have taken the teachers’ course.

Two hundred and fifteen layettes, each layette containing
30 articles, or 19,235 articles in all, have been sent to refugee
babies. And the county has responded to two calls for refugee
second-hand clothing and shoes for the suffering Belgians. Good
serviceable garments, most of which, for practical purposes, as
good as new, were contributed. We sent away in response to
the first call over two and one-half tons, and, in response to
the second, over five and one-half tons. In addition to these
two calls the Red Cross sent out nearly four tons at different
times, making over twelve tons of good, serviceable, second-hand
clothing and shoes solicited, accumulated and shipped to the
needy women and children in Belgium and France.

We sent to Company C men 153 sweaters; Naval Militia
53 complete sets; Camp Dix, 63 complete knitted sets; men on
guard duty in Jefferson County, 103 sets; Madison Barracks,
17 knitted sets, 76 helmets, 557 pairs of socks and 103 sweaters;
Pine Camp, 220 pairs of socks; enlisted men, 76 sets, 14 pairs
of socks and 7 sweaters, and to men leaving in the draft, 246
sets. A set is composed of a sweater, muffler, pair of wristlets,
helmet and two pairs of socks.

The Military Relief Committee organized five classes with
52 pupils in Elementary. Hygiene and home care of the sick
and nine classes with 158 pupils have been taught by nurses
and physicians the application of first aid. The county, largely
through the instrumentality of this committee, furnished 52

[ 58 }
Jefferson County in the World War

women nurses and canteen workers for service in the camps and
abroad. Upon the request of the War Department the committee
conducted a questionnaire system for securing information of
available nurses and 125 responses were obtained and forwarded
to the department,

The Red Cross Civilian Relief Committee succeeded the Re-
lief Committee of the Preparedness League, the personnel remain-
ing the same. The supervisors of the county, early in the war,
made an appropriation for the purpose of aiding dependent
families of which $6,321.45 was used. The balance of the
moneys used by this committee was taken from the War Chest.
The whole amount expended for financial assistance to dependent
relatives or families of soldiers and sailors during the war was
$14,289.72, of which $3,409.47 has been returned. Two hundred
and nineteen families have been financially assisted and 2318
families have been counseled, advised and helped in different
ways. Every application was thoroughly investigated by the
committee and help extended in every case that merited help,
the aim of the committee being liberality with those entitled,
but to use care in ascertaining the facts and avoid being
“worked.”

But great as it has been, financial relief was but a small —
item of the work of this committee. Homes have been visited
and comforts extended beyond mere financial aid. Help in
matters concerning allowances, insurance, etc., for the soldiers
or sailors and their families from the government, has been
extended to hundreds. A multitude of papers concerning these
matters had to be made out, corrected or revised and letters
written to departments, commanding officers, etc., to assist the
relatives of soldiers and sailors in straightening things out.

All this work is being continued. Families have to be
helped, vocational training for wounded men is being obtained,
and correspondence regarding insurance, allowances, etc., has
been multiplied since the end of the war. The committee, in
August, paid out nearly $1,000 to dependents, some of which,
however, was advanced as loans and will be paid back.

This committee has in fact been, and still is, the resort of
all dependents and others with troubles, grievances, domestic
difficulties and practically all ills that can be conceived. This
is written by one not upon or connected with the committee

[59]
Jefferson County in the World War

but who is and has from the first been familiar with its work,
and I have yet to hear of a single case out of the multitude of
requests to it for help or assistance where fault has justly been
found with the committee’s action by the applicant, and of but
one case where any fault has been found at all.

Under the Red Cross banner, men, children and especially
women have rendered a wonderful service to those at home and
in the field, and a service to their country that mere words
and figures fail to tell.

All hail the Red Cross, the best, the noblest association
for relief of human suffering that the world has ever yet
conceived!

The Young Men’s Christian

Association

HATEVER criticism has been visited upon the Y. M. C. A.
V V war work in France, none has been directed at the work

of the local institution. The local Y. M. C. A. has re-
sponded efficiently and willingly to every call.

It was associated with and assisted the National War Work
Council in carrying on its work for the soldiers at Madison
Barracks and Pine Plains. At the time of the Officers’ Training
Camp, and always since, a Y. M. C. A. building has been main-
tained at Sacketts with competent secretaries in charge. When
the different draft contingents left the county the boys were
usually accompanied by our local secretary, some of the times
remaining with them until they reached their destination at
camp, to look after their wants and to cheer them up. Secretaries
have been furnished by or through the local institution who
have served at Madison Barracks, Pine Plains, Camp Dix and
Fortress Monroe, and several men and women have been sup-
plied for Y. M. C. A. services in France who have there ren-
dered efficient aid. It has co-operated with the Preparedness
League, the Red Cross, in the War Chest and Liberty Loan Cam-
paigns and by educational classes and its divers forms of en-
tertainment, recreation, and by personal contact and counsel
has looked after the welfare of men and boys from all over the
country who came here to engage in munition work.

The Y. M. C. A. building, with all its advantages, oppor-
tunities and conveniences, has been thrown wide open to all
men in uniform. The baths, swimming pool, pool room, bowling
alleys, reading room, gymnasium and lobbies have been in al-
most constant use by the men in khaki, and night after night
every available cot has been taken by them. Most of the
central county’s Red Cross work has been done in its rooms
and it has furnished a noon day luncheon place for city workers,
and a frequent evening meeting and dinner place for county
workers, in the five Loan and the two War Chest campaigns.

[61]
Jefferson County in the World War

Those actively engaged in the various forms of war work here
have frequently been heard to say, “What could we have done
without the Y. M. C. A?” It is completing its proud record
for efficient and liberal services by granting a free six months
membership to all men who have served in the army or navy
of the United States.

[ 62 ]
The Young Women’s Christian
Association

HHE Hostess House, special work for munition factories,

establishment of cafeterias, housing for women war workers,

co-operation with government employment agencies, build-
ing up of women’s morale through patriotic work and league
activities—all these have been expressions of the endeavor of
the Young Women’s Christian Association to serve the country
and to meet the extraordinary emergencies of war. Jefferson
County has carried in some form all of these various activities.
One of the first Hostess Houses to be established was put in opera-
tion early in the summer of 1917 for the Reserve Officers’ Train-
ing Camp at Sacketts Harbor. That it was a successful ex-
periment is proved by the great number of houses built later,
at the request of the government, in other camps. Five thou-
sand dollars of the money raised by the War Chest of Jeffer-
son County was sent to the National War Work Council of the
Y. W. C. A. and helped to carry on this class of work through-
out the nation.

Work in caring for the girls in industries was looked after
by this organization and, during the operation of the munition
factories in Watertown, over one hundred girls joined the Y. W.
C. A. from one factory alone. The number of women coming
to the city from out of town taxed to their utmost the local
facilities of the organization for finding employment and places
to live. But, speaking generally, it was successfully accom-
plished by the Y. W. C. A.

A Patriotic League was formed in the High School, and in
two weeks raised over three thousand dollars from the sale of
War Savings Stamps. Besides this, the League banded the
girls together in a common sisterhood in an effort to do, to give
and to be at their best because of the great need of the nation
for all that the best womanhood could offer and produce.

Nurses’ training schools were organized under the auspices
of this organization, work of the kind to which it was adapted

[ 63 ]
Jefferson County in the World War

was from time to time turned over to it by the Preparedness:
League, either as an organization or to its members individually,
and it engaged from the beginning of the war, and con-
tinued to the signing of the armistice, in all local war work
activities. In every way the Y. W. C. A. stood shoulder to.
shoulder with the other organizations of the county in making
a record for patriotic efficiency of which the county may well
feel proud.

Y. W. C. A. work, practicable to peace time, which was
either started or expanded during the war, is now being stabilized
and made permanent throughout the United States and, we are.
glad to say, in no place more fully than in Jefferson County.

[64]
The Knights of Columbus

T THE outbreak of the war, after President Wilson had

designated the Knights of Columbus to act with the Y. M.

C. A. and other societies in welfare work among the sol-
diers in the camps and at the front, an assessment of two dollars
per capita was levied upon the members of the Watertown
Council No. 259. In that manner about one thousand dollars
was raised which was forwarded to the National Council; and
about forty-five thousand dollars was raised and credited to the
local Council from the two War Chest Campaigns.

The Society took its part in the work of the Preparedness
League, the sale of Liberty bonds and in the campaigns for the
War Chest. When the training camp was established at Sacketts
Harbor, the K. of C. opened its rooms on Stone Street to all
men in uniform and fitted up about forty cots for the use of the
soldiers who desired to lodge at the rooms, for all of which
no charge was made and these cots were in almost continuous
use. Out of a membership of about four hundred the local
Council furnished ninety-seven members for the army and navy.

Directly after the first War Chest campaign the officers of
the local Council took up with the military authorities at Madison
Barracks the question of the construction of a K. of C. hut there
for the use of the soldiers. The Commander in charge at the
time was very favorably impressed with the idea. Before the
question was settled and the site selected, however, the Com-
mander was removed. Thereafter there were a series of Com-
manders, none of whom would consent that a K. of C. hut be
eonstructed at the Barracks. As soon, however, as a Com-
mander who favored the idea was placed in charge, although
quite late in the war, the hut was constructed at an expense of
about eight thousand dollars and has since been operated under
direction of a K. of C. secretary for the use of all soldiers, re-
gardless of creed or color.

[ 65 ]
The Salvation Army

HE first opportunity to serve the cause came to the Sal-
dee Army locally through the scarcity of rooms available

for men in the Officers’ Training Camp at Madison Bar-
racks who were off duty and who naturally desired to spend a
little time away from their work. Accordingly the men were
acquainted with the fact that the Army had several rooms which
it would gladly turn over to the use of the men and, as a result,
a number of them were served in this way. The aid of the
Salvation Army and its building were also useful to the families
of the men.» To relate one incident out of many, a young sol-
dier’s mother came to visit him from a western city. She was
given a room at the Salvation Army building, went out and
bought her provisions, cooked and prepared a feast for her son
and invited several of his friends from the camp to join the
family party.

_ During the stay of the U. S. Signal Corps at Madison
Barracks, the Salvation Army rooms were used at intervals by
the men and by their parents and friends, an entire flat of seven
rooms being given up for that purpose.

When the shell shock patients were sent to the hospital
at the barracks, the adjutant’s wife immediately asked per-
mission of the officer in command to visit the men. Consent was
readily given, but only as to the “mild” ward. Several visits
were made to the men of this ward, the ladies always taking
with them something that might please the men, like cigarettes,
chocolate bars, magazines, ete. These visits were extended to
the general hospital and the men there were cheered by the
ministration and gifts in the same way. Some of the wounded
men were also entertained at the home of the adjutant when.
in the city and unable to return to the camp.

A few women workers were organized by the army who
knit a considerable quantity of socks, sweaters, wash-cloths,
etc., for the use of the soldiers and also distributed a number of
testaments. The Salvation Army officers also wrote many
letters to the men overseas, usually inclosing a dollar bill

[ 66 j
Jefferson County in the World War

as a remembrance from the country they had left and
were fighting for.

For the great work of the Salvation Army in France and
in the camps, the campaigns for funds in this county were
merged with the War Chest and six thousand dollars was
contributed to be sent away for this fund.

It can be stated that, here as every where, the Salvation
Army earnestly stood by the soldier and ministered to his wants
and comforts whenever an opportunity occurred.

[67]
The Legal Advisory Board

\HE LEGAL ADVISORY BOARD for the County of Jefferson
was appointed by the President pursuant to the Selective Ser-
vice Regulations on the 24th day of November, 1917. It

consisted of three lawyers and, with but one resignation, served
through the period of the war.

The duties of the Board under the regulations were te
furnish to drafted men “all necessary advice and assistance in
preparing claims, questionnaires, and all other papers required
by these regulations, to be submitted by a registrant.” The
Board decided that it was also its duty to perform any other
service required by the Local Draft Boards and to guard the
rights of the registrants in every way. In other words, this
Board proceeded on the theory that it was its duty to assist the
Government in getting into the Army every man who should
be included therein under the regulations, and, also, to see that
no man should be drafted into the service except in accordance
with the intent of said regulations.

With this view in mind, many affidavits were prepared
for registrants with reference to points not covered, and
for the purpose of giving additional information not re-
quired by the questionnaires but which would properly have
a bearing upon the registrant’s case. In a few cases, appeals
to the District Board were perfected by this Board.

This work was all done free of charge. So far as the mem-
bers of this Board are aware, no charges were made for services
rendered by any persons co-operating with the Board.

On account of the fact that this Board had jurisdiction
over the entire County, Associate Legal Advisory Committees
were appointed in various places therein.

The work of filling out questionnaires was done by secur-
ing volunteers as assistants, and good service was rendered
by most of the lawyers, many business men, clerical workers
and school teachers.

Under orders of the Adjutant General of the State of
New York, this Board, with the assistance of volunteer attorneys,

[ 68 J
Jefferson County in the World War

were required to and did inspect all of the decisions of the
three Local Draft Boards in the County, which involved labor
covering many days, and made recommendations as to changes
in classification which it is believed resulted in some benefit
to the service. .

In addition to the duties outlined above, much service was
rendered in advising draftees and their dependents as to the
soldiers’ allotments and allowances, insurance, Red Cross matters,
and generally as to the rights and methods by which those who
required assistance could be taken care of.

.

[ 69 ]
The Medical Advisory Board

NTIL the organization of the Medical Advisory Boards in
December, 1917, the medical examinations of registrants
could be had only before the physician member of the draft
board and the medical assistants associated with him in the
work. It can be said to the credit of the medical profession
that substantially no difficulty was experienced in procuring
efficient, experienced medical help. In Watertown our doctors
generally and generously responded to the call of the draft
board. In the Adams and the Carthage districts doctors from
other villages assisted in making the examinations which had
to be held at the headquarters of the board, many of them
traveling miles morning and night in order to help out. The
Medical Department of the various draft boards, therefore, con-
sisted of the medical member of the board and the physicians
associated with him and so continued until the close of the
war. The examining physicians prepared a long and complete
report of a registrant’s physical condition on blanks furnished
them and these statements came before the draft board which
reviewed each case, usually accepting the recommendation of the
physicians as of course. The only method of review provided
by the Selective Service Law until December, 1917, was an
appeal to the District Board at Syracuse and this appeal, as te
matters purely physical, was but of little avail or use.
Therefore, the government very wisely amended the
Selective Service Rules in this respect, providing for the ap-
pointment and organization of Medical Advisory Boards. Our
board here, designated as No. 34, was one of the forty-nine similar
boards created in this state and took care of cases sent them
from the three draft boards of Jefferson and the one draft board
from Lewis County. If the physicians of the local board were
in doubt as to a registrant’s physical status, they sent him te
the medical advisory board for further examination, the medical
advisory board reporting back to the draft board in each case.
An appeal to the advisory board from the decision of the phy-
sicians of the local board was allowed to both the government
[ 70]
Jefferson County in the World War

and to the registrant. It is needless to say that the creation of
advisory boards increased the efficiency of the selective ser-
vice system. The final classification was made by the draft
board itself, which had the power to reverse the findings ot
all the physicians; but when a man had been passed upon by
the physicians connected with the local board and then by the
physicians of the advisory board, the latter consisting largely
of specialists, there was little doubt as to the man’s physical
ability or disability and, except in cases where the draft board
found that the doctors had misinterpreted some rule, the de-
cision of the physicians invariably stood.
Medical Advisory Board No. 34 comprised ten members
p when organized, and continued with about the same number,
although several changes were necessitated because of some of
its physicians going into the federal service and other causes.
Regular meetings for examinations were held weekly and some
times special meetings in order to respond to emergency calls.
It held thirty regular meetings for examining registrants be-
sides the special meetings. These meetings were all well at-
tended by the board members, each usually giving the whole
day and sometimes working until late into the night. The last
regular session was held November 21, 1918. The advisory
board made in all 1,221 examinations. Considering that
it required on the average perhaps an hour, and often two or
more, on each case, a little computation will show that the
doctors on the board spent a great amount of time in this
mecessary war work. Of the 1,221 cases examined, 383 were
found qualified for regular service, 514 for special service, 74
were given deferred classification as qualified after some reme-
@iable defect had been removed, and 250 were found physically
disqualified for any military service. The rulings of the medical
advisory board were, except in not more than a half dozen cases
in all, accepted by the men without criticism or complaint, and
by the draft boards as the last word as to the registrant’s phys-
ical ability to enter the service. All connected with the Selective
Service work, the registrant included, were satisfied that the
examinations were conducted with the utmost fairness, the
decisions made and reports sent in purely on the merit in
each particular case. Where fault was found by registrants,
such criticism was without merit and was inspired by a desire
[71]
Jefferson County in the World War

to escape military duty even to the extent of resorting to
feigning disability. In most, if not in all cases, the fault found
was in the fact that the maligner had been discovered, his
scheme exposed, and he was put in the classification where he
belonged. Our county, we believe, was far below the average
in the number of men returned as physically disqualified by
the surgeons in the camps after having been pronounced phys-
ically fit by the physicians of our local and advisory boards.

It may be mentioned also in this connection, that the
dentists offered their services and spent much time in remedying
defective teeth in order that registrants be made qualified
physically for service. Surgeons also operated on registrants
in order to correct physical defects. All these services were
rendered without compensation.

The medical profession in all its branches in this county
contributed valuable and efficient services to the country and
to the cause.

[72]
The Draft Boards of Jefferson
County

OR the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the

Selective Service Act, commonly known as the Draft Law,

Jefferson County was divided into three divisions, as fol-
lows: Division No. 1, comprising the City of Watertown and
the Town of Watertown, with headquarters in the County Court
House, City of Watertown, N.Y.; Division No. 2, comprising
the Towns of Brownville, Pamelia, Leray, Hounsfield, Rutland,
Champion, Henderson, Adams, Rodman, Ellisburg, Lorraine
and Worth, with headquarters in the Masonic Temple Build-
ing, Village of Adams, N. Y.; Division No. 3, comprising the
Towns of Alexandria, Theresa, Antwerp, Clayton, Orleans,
Philadelphia, Cape Vincent, Lyme and Wilna, with headquarters
in the Strickland Block, Carthage, N. Y.

It is difficult within the space permitted to give more than
an outline of the Board’s activities. The registration of June
5, 1917, for men from twenty-one to thirty-one years of age was
held under the direction and supervision of the Sheriff, County
Clerk and City Health Officer. Immediately after such regis-
tration all records were turned over to the various boards and
thereafter the laws and regulations were administered by them.
Subsequent registrations held by the Boards were as follows:
That of June 5, 1918, for men who had attained the age of
twenty-one years since June 5, 1917; the supplementary regis-
tration of August 24, 1918, for men attaining their majority
since June 5, 1918; and finally the great registration of Sep-
tember 12, 1918, for all unregistered men between the ages of
eighteen and forty-five years, both inclusive. It is of interest
to know the number of men registered in Jefferson County on
each of these occasions:

September 12, 1918_.-------__-_.-_- 10,938

Total Registrations -........._- 18,536

[73]
Jefferson County in the World War

After the completion of each registration every man was
given a serial number and an order number by the Board in
whose jurisdiction he was. The order number was important
as fixing the order of his liability for service.

The basis for classification was the questionnaire. This was
a bulky document of several pages divided into eighteen sub-
divisions, dealing with the physical condition and citizenship of
the registrant, his religious convictions, his social status and,
in great detail, with the subject of dependency and his occu-
pational duties and claims. Every man was required to make
out and file such a questionnaire, whether or not he claimed ex-
emption from military service.

After the filing of the questionnaires the registrants were
classified by the Boards. By diligent effort the members of
each Board could classify from eighty to one hundred men every
day. The magnitude of this task may be understood when it is
remembered that the total registration was eighteen thousand,
five hundred and thirty-six.

The Boards also had supervision of the physical examina-
tion of the men, which examination was made by certain
doctors of the county, duly appointed by the Adjutant General
of the State. The regulations, however, made it imperative that
the Boards pass upon the results of each physical examination,
accepting or rejecting the physicians’ report, as seemed proper.

Finally came the painful duty of mobilization, a word that
created fear in the heart of each sweetheart, mother and wife.
It meant the breaking up of family ties, the surrender of ex-
ceptional business opportunities. The duties of the Boards in
this branch of the service were too numerous to mention.
Suffice to say it covered all acts from the time the man left
his occupation, his home and family, until he arrived at camp,
a soldier or sailor in the service of his country.

These were but the more important duties of the Boards.
They were also required to keep exact records of each man,
maintaining extensive card index systems and dockets for that
purpose; make innumerable reports to the government; furnish
information to the Police Department and District Attorney
relative to those registrants who were derelict in the performance
of their duties; issue permits for passports for those desiring
to leave the country; and numerous other official functions.

[74]
Jefferson County in the World War

There were also duties of a more or less private nature, such
as consultations with members of families as to the soldier’s
welfare; advice in the management of affairs at home in his
absence; many inquiries each day as to matters pertaining
to insurance, allotments and mail; looking up innumerable
serial and order numbers for registrants who had lost or for-
gotten the same. In fact in a short time the Board came to
be known as the sole local agent and embodiment of affairs
military and there was ever increasing resort to them for infor-
mation on all subjects related to the war. Some idea of the
magnitude of their official duties may be obtained from the
following figures. These figures do not cover the registrants
from thirty-five to forty-five years of age, as the Boards were
ordered to close their records before the dockets were brought
down to date, but the percentage did not vary greatly with any
particular class of men. The work was largely completed, ex-
cept that of tabulation, when the armistice was signed.

Any discrepancy in figures is due to the fact that the dockets
were not brought down to date.

The Draft Boards came into most intimate contact with all
classes of people, learned of their trials and fears and hopes,
their opinions, prejudices and feelings, and their histories some-
times containing faults and crimes carefully concealed from the
world. While most was commonplace, there was much that was
sad and pathetic, much that was noble as well as much that
was amusing. There was very little that was base or cowardly.
The patriotism that was displayed was of the quiet, grim kind,
based upon a sense of duty and a real regard for country.

The members of the Boards were after all the servants of
the people. No matter how great their efforts all would have
come to nothing without the faithful cooperation of the citizens
of this community.

[75]
Jefferson County in the World War

Many were at the first pessimistic at the prospect of its
administration, but the impression early gained ground that
the system was and would be a fair one, and as time went on,
the confidence of those interested grew steady and sure. Those
within its operation demanded nothing more than that it should
be impartially administered, and as the war proceeded, and
America’s part became a more important one, the tide of ap-
proval for the Selective Draft rose higher and higher,
and the dominant sentiment finally became a readiness and even
an eagerness to enter the draft without waiting for the call.

The matter is well summed up in the statement of Provost
Marshal General Crowder in the following words:

“That a new and untried system of selection could succeed
at all was to many doubtful, that it should attain results be
yond the fondest dreams of its most ardent supporters was
unbelievable.”

A word may be added as to its comparative cost. The total
cost, including all expenses of the boards and of the States and
Federal headquarters, was $10.88 for every man actually in-
ducted into military service. It cost the government $28.95 in
the army and $30.23 in the navy for every man who entered
the American World-War forces by voluntary enlistment as
against $10.38 for those who entered through selective-service.
Comparing the cost per man inducted under the selective-
service law with the cost under the Civil War enrollment act,
and the figures show $227.71 cost per soldier under the Civil
War draft as against $10.38 under the selective-service of the
World War. Counting the expenses of both selective-service and
voluntary enlistment for the war with Germany, we raised
twice as many men as we raised in the Civil War at one-twentieth
the cost.

[76]
The Liberty and Victory Loans

HE five loans secured by the United States Liberty and

Victory bonds which were asked of Jefferson County, in

their raising, accomplished several things. First, in each
loan campaign the county over-subscribed its quota, proving
thereby not only the sterling patriotism but the solid financial
status and prosperity of our people. Second, it was educational.
The campaign made our people more intensely American, taught
them the value of saving, the stability of securities backed by
the government of the United States, and those who bought
the bonds appreciated as they never had before the deep in-
terest which they had in their country’s welfare. The solicitors
and those from whom they solicited in all parts of the county
were united in a common cause for the success of a common
purpose and this of itself tended to bring all communities, all
classes, all avocations nearer to each other than ever before. It is
doubtful if all these advantages could have been attained for any
other purpose or in any other way.

It was a great and inspiring organization that went out to
sell Liberty Bonds. While the responsibility for the result
was at the beginning placed largely upon banks, there was no
institution, no class, no street, no neighborhood that was not
represented, and well represented, among the workers. Teams
were formed everywhere and of everybody. No shop, no of-
fice, no business place, no home in city, village or county but
what was visited and practically no person, it is believed, living
within the confines of Jefferson County who was not given an
opportunity to subscribe.

A county organization, represented by members from each
town, was the first step in organization. While Watertown and
the larger villages generally built up their respective local organi-
zations and perfected their team work rapidly, in some places it
was hard for men and women to understand the necessity of or-
ganized effort and in the first and second campaigns there were
a few places where but little soliciting was in fact done. This
quite naturally, because of their comparative isolation, obtained

[77]
Jefferson County in the World War

most in the farming communities and gave rise to an unjust
criticism that farmers were not doing their duty in purchasing
their fair quota of Liberty Bonds. But the critics soon had
reason to apologize. When the thing got fairly under way, as
shown by the reports in the 3d, 4th and 5th campaigns, it was
the farming communities which almost invariably were able
to show the largest over-subscriptions. It. took a little longer
for the cause to penetrate the country districts; but when it
did, the farmer and his wife and child led rather than followed
the procession. But where, as in the fourth loan, 17,881 men,
women and children each subscribed for one or more bonds out
of a total population of little more than 80,000—a little more
than one out of each five of our total population purchasing
bonds—it must be granted that those who were remiss in their
duty to assist the government in the stress of war were few
indeed.

While everybody now knows the character of the campaign
organizations and the manner in which a $25,000,000 loan was
obtained from our 80,000 people, it is well perhaps to place
the facts on the record so that those who come after us may
read, and from the reading may know that in the years
1917-18-19 there lived in Jefferson County a stock of thrifty,
patriotic Americans.

First, a central executive county committee was formed
consisting chiefly of the various chairmen of local committees.
This central committee through its representatives or sub-com-
mittees looked after different parts of the work. Some attended
to the details of quotas, figures, etc.; others assisted in com-
pleting the town and village organizations; others attended to
publicity through the press and by means of newspaper adver-
tising and pamphlets; others to obtaining and sending out
speakers for loan meetings; and still others devoted their time
to obtaining means vf transportation for speakers who were
to visit the outlying towns and for the campaign workers in
their canvass from house to house. If some town or community
was backward in getting started, it was this committee or its
appointed delegates who urged and helped it on. If some
community felt that their quota was unfair in comparison with
others, or if one locality trespassed upon the territory of an-
other, it was this committee which smoothed matters out.

{78 ]
Jefferson County in the World War

Every town and village had its local committee and the
local committee divided its district into as many units as it had
teams and assigned to each team its particular unit. The unit
might be some road or roads, some street or streets or possibly
some school district. Whatever the unit assigned, it was the
duty of the members of the team to make a house to house can-
vass of its territory and leave no person likely to subscribe
without being seen and personally solicited. In Watertown the
teams met at luncheon every day during the various campaigns,
each captain reporting the day’s work of his team. Some teams
consisted entirely of men, some entirely of women, some were
mixed, and all, without so far as we know a single exception,
achieved gratifying results. In the latter campaigns, manu-
facturing establishments and business places were separately
canvassed by those connected with the respective institutions
and thus loyalty to the shop as well as loyalty to the flag en-
tered into the work. While at the beginning of the first cam-
paign in June, 1917, the workers might be compared to an un-
trained mob, their confidence, morale, harmony of effort and
general efficiency improved with each succeeding campaign until
they became adepts in the art of soliciting and, during the last
three campaigns, we had a trained army who with the true
American spirit knew no such word as fail.

It is impossible to compile the numbers who at one time
or other were in this civilian army organized for the purpose
of raising funds with which to win the war. In some places
a few, in one community one person alone did the work; in
other communities nearly everybody in some way or another
worked to get their neighbors to subscribe. While we know
from personal observation that only a part of the whole number
of solicitors attended the last meeting at the Armory held to
celebrate the accomplishment of the Victory Loan, the number
of those present whe had worked through the five hard cam-
paigns was in the thousands. While it is largely a guess, we
estimate that not less than five thousand men, women and
children took an active part and gave their time to the suc-
cessful accomplishment of what, had we been told the size at
the beginning, would have been agreed upon unanimously as an
impossible task. Securing these five loans for the government,
which taken together aggregate twenty-five and one-half millions

[79]
Jefferson County in the World War

of dollars, was incomparably the greatest task Jefferson County
ever undertook; and that she succeeded is due, not only to the
campaign workers, but to all her people.

The figures speak for themselves:

[80]
The War Chest

OR the first and probably the last time in its history,
EF setecom County contributed one-half a million dollars to

one specific purpose. Every town, every hamlet, remote
country roads and the city thoroughfare each was assigned
its quota and better still, subscribed and usually over-subscribed
it. The rich and the poor, the merchant, mechanic, laborer,
banker and the farmer, men, women, children, all joined in
the spirit of the two War Chest Campaigns and united in a com-
mon purpose. Among the people of all avocations and of all
parts of the county, aside from the gratification of a great thing
well done, it is felt that the spirit of unity engendered will be

~ ef lasting benefit to all.

The reasons for the War Chest are obvious. Except for it,
one campaign for raising money would have followed another
in unending succession and to the great inconvenience and bother
ef all. The Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the
K. of C., the Salvation Army and other organizations were
assigned and undertook certain relief works connected with the
war and, of course, it was necessary that they be provided with
funds. Proper send-offs to our men required expenditure, re-
lief must, in many cases, be extended to dependents they left;
and there were many other things at home too numerous to de-
tail that had to be done. With the monies of the War Chest,
always available for legitimate war expenses, we were always
ready to meet every call, were always ready for any emergency ;
without it, each object, purpose and event requiring money must
have had a separate campaign of its own and if a family needed
help, a dinner was to be given to departing soldiers, or a meet-
ing was to be held, some of us would have had to go out each
time to canvass, all of us would each time have been asked to
subscribe and emergency calls would necessarily have been de-
layed, often with incomplete if not disastrous results. Before
we started the War Chest several projects were launched to raise
monies for different and worthy objects, and it was only our
being able to promise help when the War Chest monies became

[81]
Jefferson County in the World War

available that we were able to induce them to subside. Then,
too, the War Chest Committee was able to investigate and turn
down or help projects as they found the facts much better than
the busy merchant, farmer or mechanic could do personally for
himself. The committee was charged with this duty, it pos-
sessed the means to obtain information from sources absolutely
reliable and it took the time to do it; individuals would more or
less blindly have given or have refused their money when
solicited, and would have had no protection against being
“worked.”

A general War Chest was planned by the Preparedness
League at the beginning of the war. But Liberty Loan cam-
paigns came on so rapidly and there were so many activities, it
did not seem opportune to inaugurate the campaign for it until
November 11, 1917. So far as possible, organizations were per-
fected in every village and township, using generally the Liberty
Loan teams. The budget made up in advance was as follows:

The amount demanded was, as the budget shows, $175,000.
The amount actually contributed in a week’s campaign was
$271,560.97, an over-subscription of $96,560.97. It was thought
that not more than about 75% to 80% of these pledges would
be paid, but the subscribers paid 94% or $249,239.63 in actual
cash, we believe an unprecedented result.

In the budget as made up the item “Administration Ex-
penses, etc., $22,000” received most criticism and required most

[ 82 ]
Jefferson County in the World War

explanation. As intended and as used, this fund was for as-
sisting families, furnishing dinners to departing soldiers and
sailors, expenses of meetings, of printing and distributing
Food Conservation pamphlets and pledges, subscriptions to war
objects, like Belgian and Armenian Relief not specified in the
budget, and other items and objects of general character too
numerous to all be mentioned here. The work of the Prepared-
ness League, of the Food Administration, and other war work
committees and organizations, having no funds of their own,
were financially supported from the War Chest, as was also a part
of the expense and propaganda for the Liberty and Victory
Loans.

The second War Chest campaign was but a repetition of the
first. Demands had increased and the items in the budget had
to be made larger. The Campaign began November 11, 1918,
and ended November 18, 1918.

The budget called for $265,100.00, as follows :

The miscellaneous fund of $16,975.37 will be drawn on a
little later by the Jefferson County Preparedness League to the
extent of some $5,000 to pay for a publication now in the
printer’s hands giving a complete history and record of Jefferson
ecounty’s part in the Great War.

The miscellaneous fund will also be drawn on to meet the
administration expenses up to the time of closing the War Chest
_ headquarters. This additional amount will be a comparatively
small sum.

At a meeting January 22nd, 1920, the matter was re-

[ 86]
Jefferson County in the World War

ferred to the executive committee to formulate and report to
the general committee one or more feasible plans for a just and
equitable disposition of the remaining funds. This committee
reported that the only proper disposition of the $48,034.40, in
its opinion, was to refund it to the respective committees in
proportion to the amount each paid in. The report was adopted
March 13, 1920, and the recommendation has been carried out.

Of the miscellaneous fund, $16,999.46, $5,000.00 was voted
for Armenian relief and the balance, after paying present ob-
ligations and all expenses, to the County Branch of the American
Legion.

The Army and Navy

\ A TE COME now to the real heroes of the war. What has
gone before relates chiefly to efforts of our men and wo-
men who stood “behind the men behind the guns.” AH
that we at home did, all we could do, was to give them our un-
stinted support. And, in the history of the whole world, ne
soldiers and sailors better deserved it. More—far more—than
of all else, our county is proud of the men who responded to
the call to colors, of their glorious achievements, of the grand
records they made for our country and for themselves. A
former chapter, “The World War” and the tables and diagrams
accompanying it, shows more in detail what our men from Jef-
ferson County did and helped to do.

Jefferson County furnished 3,257 men for service in the
World War. Of these, approximately, 2,719 were in the army
and 538 in the navy. Of those in the army, approximately, 1,556
served overseas and 1,163 in various capacities on this side or the
war ended after they entered service but before they got across.
One thousand seven hundred thirty men were sent under the
selective service and 1,527 men enlisted in the regular army,
the National Guard, the Naval Militia or were identified with
some one of these organizations when war was declared. These
figures, we believe, are very nearly correct.

These figures mean that one out of every twenty-six residents
of the county was in either the army or navy in some capacity.
Excluding the women, one out of every thirteen males was in
service. Again excluding those below and above military age, ap-
proximately one out of every eight men in this county at the call
of their country donned the khaki or the blue. The number of
these who gave up their lives in the cause we know with sub-
stantial accuracy, and their names appear in the Supreme Honor
Roll herein. From battle deaths and disease, Jefferson County
lost 127 men. While the ratio between population and men in
service was substantially the same as in the entire Union, our
comparative losses were heavier. One out of every 26 of our

[88]
Jefferson County in the Worid War

brave fellows never came back, while the average for the whole
nation was one out of every 38. Of the many who were wounded
or disabled in the service a list of substantial accuracy might
perhaps be compiled later, but at this time it is impossible.

In the navy our men were scattered about in divers lines
of service, some on shore, and others on many different ships
engaged in many and diversified lines. They were among those
who helped to guard the Atlantic coast, among those who
manned the supply and transports and some served in the men-of-
war which convoyed these supply and transports safely across
three thousand miles of sea. A few were assigned to positions
in the navy yards and to instruction schools and some were a
part of the ships’ crews, which night and day kept a long, un-
interrupted, continuous vigil with the great fleet in the North Sea.

Of those who served in the navy, their individual work
and services were too diversified to trace. Like the flag under
which they served, they could be found in every sea and
every port whose waters were stirred by the keels of the ships of
war, transport or supply. .

Our men in the army have been scattered about even to a
greater extent than those in the navy. It would be hard, if
not impossible, to name a single place of service in which one
or more than one of Jefferson County’s men have not been en-
gaged. Whether it be among the pioneer, the supply, infantry,
machine gun, artillery, signal service, in mortar trench, staff
work, engineers, ambulances or aviation, you could find a Jef-
ferson County man or boy there.

Of the national army our men were assigned to nearly
every branch of service and some of them to nearly every camp
in the United States and ultimately to almost every division in
France. The only ones who were held together in units were
those who served in the 27th, the 77th, the 78th divisions and
the First Pioneers. Company C men were largely in the 27th.
The record of their division includes the battles of La Selle River,
Jonademer Ridge, Vierstraat Ridge, Guillemont Farm, St. Maurice
River and assisting to break the Hindenburg line near Bony.

In the 77th were the officers assigned from Camp Niagara
and most of the county’s draft contingents which left here
February 23d, 1918, for Camp Devens and from there im-
mediately assigned to Camp Upton. They were in the first

[89]
Jefferson County in the World War

division of the national army +o be given a sector to defend.
This was on the Lorraine front. Afterwards the division fought
the Germans across the Aisne to the Vesle in the allied ad-
vance from the Marne, formed the extreme left flank of the
American army in the advance through the Argonne Forest
to Grande Pre, and fought from thence on to Sedan. Some of
them were with the so-called “Lost-Battalion” and others among
those who rescued that outfit. The 78th, comprising a larger
number of our men, was in the successful St. Mihiel drive and
fought in the Argonne-Meuse drive from Grande Pre to Sedan.
A smaller part of Company C were assigned to the First Pioneers
Infantry and their war-record includes the Aisne-Marne, Oise-
Aisne and Meuse-Argonne offensives. After the armistice they
were with the army of occupation and stationed at Ehrenbreit-
stein, Germany, until May 23, 1919.

We had men with the British and with the French. From
the first operation in which the American army participated,
Cambria, November 20, 1917, the battles and campaigns from
then on were few in which one or more sons of Jefferson County
did not take part. Space will not permit a mention of names
or a more detailed record of units. The general character of
service rendered by any man in the combat divisions may be
traced in the diagrams 2 to 6, inclusive, appearing herein in
the chapter on the “World War.”

We know of the heart-breaking longing which continuously
beset many of our men who, as they feel, unfortunately did not
get across. All could not go; all who crossed could not get to
the front lines. There was important and necessary work to be
done by the army on this side and in France back of the fight-
ing front, and in that work our men performed their full duty
and an honorable part. In the army men go, not where they
desire, but where they are sent; whether the end of the road
meant the German trenches, or to engage in instruction, em-
barkation or construction work, their assignments had to be
observed. All were in the line of duty, all were serving as
soldiers, all helped to win the great war. There is glory enough
for all who donned the uniform. And to all our soldiers and
sailors, as their right, belongs the full measure of honor and
praise.

The Supreme Honor Roll

ie THE fathers, mothers, wives, children and near rela-
tives of those noble men who made the Supreme Sacrifice

for country, honor and flag, all men and women unite in
sympathy. In their sorrow we beg the privilege to join; but
the just pride, the glory, the honor in the sacrifice is all theirs.
It means something now and will mean more as the years roll
by to have had a son, a husband, a loved one, whose name is
forever inscribed on the honor roll of his country. May their
sorrows be softened by the thought that no men have or can
die a better or nobler death.

Of those who made the Supreme Sacrifice no words of ours
can add one jot or tittle to the glory and honor already and
always theirs. Their work, their lives, their deaths, afford
their own best eulogy and of them, for them, we feel it inappro-
priate and presumptuous for civilians to speak.

“On fame’s eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,

And glory marks with silent round
The bivouac of the dead.”

Women in the Service

HE American woman’s share in the Great War was very
aE are from that of the American man, but she played

an important part both here in the United States and across
the sea. The women, like the men, left their ordinary pursuits
and, when the call came for volunteers, with patriotic fervor and
enthusiasm, placed themselves under the orders of the Army and
Navy or the Welfare organizations ready to serve wherever sent,
and to put their best into the work assigned them whatever
it might be. They were sent out under the War Department,
the Navy Department, the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the
Y. W. C. A,, the Salvation Army, the Knights of Columbus, the
Jewish Welfare Board.

The first women who were sent over-seas left about the
same time as the first American troops. Most of them returned
with the different army units, but some are still left with the
Army of Occupation in Germany. Those who were mobilized
and retained in the United States, served in the camps in all
parts of the country and in canteens established in very many
railway centers and at the ports of embarkation.

Everyone knows of the wonderful work done by the nurses;
their devotion to duty, their skill, their never-failing willingness.
And those women who have nursed, witness to the cheerfulness,
the patience, the courage and endurance, of the soldiers for whom
they cared.

In the hospitals, aside from the nurses, were to be found
the searchers. They wrote letters, distributed papers, and, most
important of all, gathered information of those missing or
details of the deaths of those who fell on the field of battle. They
went from bed to bed with a list of those about whom informa-
tion was sought; found men who belonged to the same division,
regiment, or better still, company; compiled the information
obtained and sent it to Red Cross Headquarters and to the
families waiting—waiting—for news,—these were a part of their
services to the A. E. F.

In the canteens, the women fed the hungry, comforted the

homesick, encouraged the downhearted. In the rest areas, they
amused the boys on leave and planned entertainments for their
pleasure. In the large cities, they aided in the hotels and restau-
rants. There were also the Signal Corps girls and the Navy
yeowomen who did splendid work.

The work of the women sent out by the different Welfare
Organizations, was more or less individual and no two workers,
though assigned to the same line of work, would, if asked, give
similar accounts of her methods. Each one was to do her work
in what seemed to her the best way possible; “to represent,” to
the young soldiers so far away from their families, “what they
had left behind” ;to make the canteen or hut a little bit of home;
to make the boys forget for awhile, the horrors of the battle, to
draw them from the trenches into an atmosphere of brightness
and cheer, with music and laughter. Or, if forgetfulness was
not possible, to listen to their stories of the darkness and the
struggle and so let them relieve their minds of the awful thoughts
and visions that oppressed them. In other words, women were
in the war to give the soldier what he needed; nursing if he
were wounded, food if he were hungry, companionship if he were
lonely, comfort if he were dying.

And so women had the privilege and honor, the satisfaction
and the joy, of helping the brave boys who represented this
great country and fought, with her allies, in the terrific fight of
Right against Might. E. 8. L.

“There’s a rose that grows in No Man’s Land
And it’s wonderful to see.

Though it’s dimmed by tears, it will live for years
In my garden of memory.

It’s the one red rose the soldier knows,

It’s the work of the master hand.

*Mid the war’s great curse stands the Red Cross Nurse,
She’s the rose of No Man’s Land.”

Men in Semi-Military Service

IXTEEN men of mature age, prominent in civil affairs of
the county, left their homes and business to serve the sol-
diers either in the camps in this country or with the American

Expeditionary Forces in France. These men enlisted in the ser-
vice of the Red Cross or of the Y. M. C. A. Some of them
were ministers of the different churches, some were business
and professional men. No thought of reward entered into their
determination—their aim, one and all, being to ameliorate the
eonditions and minister to the material, spiritual and recrea-
tional wants of the soldiers.

It is due largely to this class of civilian volunteers that
our army was concededly the best cared for of any army which
fought in either this or in former wars. These men, as repre-
sentatives of their grand organizations, uniting with the regular
military authorities, contributed in no small degree to the morale
of our troops. They not only ministered to the physical wants
of the soldier but they inspired in him a sense of patriotism,
Jove of country and a fortitude to bear up against illness, injury
and loneliness that contributed in no small degree to the in-
dividual soldier’s spirit and, therefore, to the success of the
army as a whole.

The names of these volunteers appear below so far as we
have been able to obtain them. While it is, we think, approx-
imately correct for the City of Watertown, our correspondents
from the towns of the county have not in all cases, we fear,
sent in names of men in their communities who rendered ser-
vice of this character and there may be several inadvertent

omissions.
