On April 6th, 191 7 the news was flashed to Norman County and the world that the United States had thrown herself into the greatest conflict of all ages. For almost three \ears we, the people of Norman Count\ had been peacefully going about our peacetime labors, almost ignoring the great struggle j,000 miles away. In an instant, on this beautiful day in April, 191 7, we were at once plunged into this awful carnage. Little did we think that before it was finished sixty-three of our boys would pay the supreme sacrifice and give their lives in the trenches, in the waters' of the ocean and in camps where the grim reaper stalked in the form of awful pestilence that broke out seemingly as a punishment to man for his wickedness. Little did we think that more than 800 of our boys would be called to the great struggle. Of the splendid arm\ of the L^nited States that eventually turned the tide ot battle and brought peace again to the war torn world more than 800 were our o\\ n home boys and young women from Norman County who fought and trained in every arm of the United States Forces — dough boy, artillerymen, marine, aviator, sail- or and nurse they all brought glory to their Count) and Country. While the} were gone to fight the battles of their country let us not forget the work of the home folks, the endless hours spent in knitting for their comfort, the soliciting for the Red Cross and Liberty Loan and other war activities. That this magnificient record of Norman County in I'he ^Vorld AVar may he set down for the future generations to read, that the work of Norman Countys' 800 or more fighting men may receive the credit that is due them, that the sixty-three ||;[j who gave their li\es may be fittingly memorialized so that the memories ot their sacrifice will not quickh' grow dim in memory, this work is prepared. If we have made errors or omissions we hope they may be kindly overlooked with the realization of |i||j the huge task that was ours. The editors have used e\ery possible means to get the data and have been \ery careful to use nothing but first hand information as they have realized what a imposition on the community it would be to be careless in the accurac\ of the subject matter of this book. If the magnitude of the task can be realized bv our critics we feel that the criticism ma\- be 1 educed to a minimum. HSgl' HONOR ROLL of Men Who Have Died in The Service .llmer Aasgaard .llfred T.

Stories lioiii tlie lips and pen of Xoniiiiii County ])oys who were in the thick (if the liniitint'- or who had exccplinnally tlirilling experiences elsewhere. OXK ol'' Folin'KKxX MEX LEFT FlloM A CO.Mi'AXY. CONRAD MELUERd of .Ida tells iif his experiences at Belleau Woods. ( >ui' ciiiiipiuiy had heeii l> iiiu in reserve ail day of Jnne 13tii. That ninlit we were to rcHeve the hoys in the front lines in J^x-Hean Woods near Ciiatean Tiiierry. Jnst as we got orders to move np front, tiie Germans began a concentrated bombardment of gas shells. We were in the woods and it was pitch dark. Our mess sargent had brought down a gooil hot meal as we liad had notiiing warm to eat for 14 days. We Hned up for chow even tliongli tiie shells wei'e Hying fast around us and we had our gas masks on. 1 was the sixtli man in line when a gas sliell exploded killing one of t!ie men and spoiling all of the food. We couldn't stM' ten feet witii our gas imisks on so we couldn't get out of the woods. 'I'he lluns had us in a trap, ^^'e got orders to lie down where we were imt in a fi'w minutes that seemed like ages, we got orders that relief hae made. It was useless to try it \\'ith our gas masks on but it was also a case of get out of that shell tire or l)e killed. Most of the boys on either side of me were already killed or wounded. We took oil" our masks and lint-d up single file, took ahold of the pack of the man ahead of ns and then the Captain started to lead us out. It would have l)een all i-ight but a shell hit the line and l)roke it about twenty men behind the Captain. Fourteen men reached the front line about a mile u]i. I was one of the fourteen. It was then about 5 o'clock A. ^I., and we were told to crawl into a hole and sleej). And we did until about S a. m., when some of the boys woke np and found that the gas had hlindecl them, so the.v were sent back to the hospital. My eyes were sore hut I could ojjen them enough to see. There was a large ])ile of trench lu-ead lying nearby, so as T was starved I ate about half a loaf Iw'fore I noticed that it was liadly gassed \\\\\\ mustard. Six of us then volunteered to carry ammunition up to the extreme front line about half a mile further up. We iiad to hurry and also be very careful of the (xerman machine gunners and snipers. When we got back four of the boys went to the hospital. T f(>ll the effects of the gas then but thoiight it would wear off. I stood it until about ') :,'50 P. M., when I had to go l)ack. RlClJAItn STONIlERrr frtJs nf thr Marines. If your wildest inuigination coidd picture a Imnch of hilarious soldiers when word was passed that tlu- Ai-mistice would take place at n o'clock, all you could hear was a continual yell all through the woods, wherever soldiers wei'c located. One hy one the guns fired their last shell and the sounds of war Ix'gan to cease. At 11 o'clock every- thing was (piiet. It was such a change that we couldn't hardly realize it, after two weeks of the hardest campaigning that we had lu'cn through. We had cold, disnnd weather all of the time, so we were all drenched, and ]\o fires wei'e allowed. The woods jjresented some ap- pearance that night. There were great bon fires every ten yards ami candles were lit and rockets were shot up and everybody was as happy as a lark. The next day we moved into town and the Germans began ])idling out. —79— 'i iiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnTi iiiiiBr NOR^ MlllllllllllllllllUllffi' DAVID BOWEX tells of the march tlnoiif/h Beh/inui. This last drive we had a peach of a barrage and we hugged it close and caught Heinie before he had any chance to do any dirty work with his machine guns, but the Heinie artillery kept on firing point blank at us until they were captured or shot at their guns by riHes and grenade fire. My division kept on chasing the Huns and tlie morning the Armistice was signed we started over the top again and had a few casualties from shell fire. We rested a few days and early on th^" morning of the 17th we started hiking toward Germany making about 20 kilos and stopped about 3 o'clock in a French village with only a few inhabitants left liy the Germans. The following morning we passed into Belgium and it sure feels good to be away fi'om the liat- tle fields and shell wrecked villages. "We passed through many Belgian villages with our band plapng and our Colors flying and believe me the people were glad to see us. All their liouses and trees were decor- ated with flags and flowers and they cheered us as we marched by. Now we are close on Heinle's heels for we just left this town day before yesterday. SAYS THE MARINES STOPPED THE HUNS. A short interview ivith Lieutenant Col. John A. Hughes, of the sixth Marines, will interest our people, as he ivas in the same regi- ment of Marines as the Ada hoys. An intervieiver ivrites: "Nothing that anybody can say can convey a definite conception of the bravery of the? Marines," said Lieutenant Colonel John A. Hughes of the 6th Marines who was wounded twice in the leg and who wears the French war medal and the D. S. C. A German prisoner told me it was freely admitted by his officers that it was the Marines who prevented the Germans from getting to Paris. It was at St. Mihiel that I got banged up but I have nothing to kick about. The soldier knows what to expect. AVhat did I get decorated for? Well, I sup- pose I did do something or other, but I'll lie l)lamed if I know what it was. ' ' ne=gj PRACTICE WORK OF AN ADA AVIATOR. EBLING NORBY tells hoiv machine gun bullets tear holes in para- chutes as flyers dive through clouds. "I start my days work somewhat as follows: Whir-r-r, Z-O-O-M, and with a roar and a cloud of dust my bus blimps down the field and takes the air. Climbing at a steep angle, ap 5,000 ; 10,000 ; twelve now fifteen thousand feet. My altimeter tells me I am out of sight of the observers on the ground, or at most but a mere sj^eck in the air. I now release my parachute, Avhicli at my height cannot be seen from below, but before it has dropped 100 feet I swerve and dive for it, my gun spitting in short volleys which are heard on the ground long after I have stopped shooting; but as soon as I have fired I go into a side slip, for my parachute is my enemy, and I bank and dive for it again and the staccato notes of the machine gun can be heard below as I riddle my imaginery foe. "Now a wandering cloud comes up and hides both my plane and the parachute; the watchers below scan the cloud; suddenly the para- chute drops thru the mist. I nose dive for it and the gun sends in spit vollevs. Another machine has now taken the air and when well up gP lets loDsi! a sleeve target. This target is two feet in diameter and 1(> SI 1 feet long, trailed heiiind on a l20() ft. line. As it jogs along at KJO miles il an hour another shij) appears al)o\c it and the tai'get practice begins. ::;B "As the lead ship darts here and there we play fur position to get JU on the trailing target; diving, swerving, and the gnns spitting wheu- ISij ever the target presents a nuuk; round and ronnd, loojiing the loop, nose-diving and other slants in acrobatcy, our ships go on niitil the machine gnn maiiiizines have been ein])tied, when ihe target is di'opped an less chance we had of getting hit and belic\-e me when a dozen of machine guns are picking up the dirt around yon and pla\ ing a tune like a heav\ rain on a tin roof, it doesn't take long to get down a couple of feet. This last ])lace we had limestone I'ock to ilig in but we went thru it just as if it was clay. .\ fellow dius a hoie just big enough to lay in and throws Ihe dirt up all around the edges to sto]) the bullets and shell fragments.

We were cited again Imt we don't give a d n alxmt tlu^s" citations what we want is )>ay day and liberty. Fall is coming on and the weather is getting pretty frosty. We sure felt it up in the line without blankets and overcoats, excejit what we got from Ileinie or salvaged from tho doughboys. I salvaged a TTcinie's pack and got a couple of blankets so was pretty well off. Some of the fellows were running aroun;iim a piece of siiell easing ^^t^^K•k my arm aljove the wi-i^st and llatteiietl thiiii^s out, teai-ing it's way up to the elbow. After a while I felt that I coulil bet- ter i^-ive my jilaec on tlic stretcher to those worse off tliaii myself; with some (lifliculty 1 walked two kilometers to a field station ami then to the field hospital where I was operated u])on.

JAY OLIX ifrltcs nhouf fJir Philipphie.f. It was about 1^ I'. M. on Xov. I'Sfh tliaf we first sighted the Island of Onam and aliont three hours later we dro])peaui launch to the town of Pede. W(^ passed thru a long luirrow ehaiuu'l which was lined on both sides l)y coral reefs. Tt is imjiossibh' for the transports to dock here because of the shallow water and nar- row channel, so all freight has to be taken on small barges from the boat. At Pede we were loaded on ,uito trucks and taken out about three miles to the detention camps at Asan. On the road to Asan we passed smi ill -83- m many natives and native Imts, and in one ca.se a native driving' a cart to which was attached the native horse or the water butt'alo. At Asan, which is a very beautiful place on the seashore and where the cocoanut trees and other native trees are urowing' in abundance. We pitched tents and then had the first good meal of chow that we had for severa weeks. It was ai'my cliow on the transport and no])ody 1)ut army men can eat it. The weather here is grand, with a nice cool ocean breeze blowing all of the time, with lots of good sea water to bathe in and lots of co- coanuts and bananas to be had for the picking and nothing to do but eat, sleep and get sun burned. We probably will be kept in the deten- tion camps for two or three weeks liefore being transferred to our re- spective regiments, but I am sure that it will be a time of pleasure for most of us. P^rom what 1 can hear and see of the Island, I am sure the short time which I will serve here will be well spent, with the exception of a few minor distractions such as fleas, ants, centipedes wild l)easts, deer and other animals. I expect to be greatly benefitted by my stay here. On Thanksgiving day, Nov. 29th, we got such a big feed that it was painful. We had practically everything that we have at lionie on that day but our friends and rehitives wiiom we all missed. It being a holiday we did nothing but loaf around. We cleaned our camp today, cutting the big weeds around the tents, etc. We have to work about an hour or so each day to keep from getting lazy, and stand duty when our turn comes, which is about four hours every four days. We landed in Honolulu on the nmrning of the 14th of Nov. AVe sure were a glad bunch that morning to see land once more. We stayed in Honolulu that day and we all went asliore to visit the city. It is a very beautiful j)lace. The mountains are greeii with oranges, ban- anas and cocoanuts. There are lots of white people there. We sailed the next day at noon. The band came down and played for us as we moved slowly out of the harbor and then we cut loose amid the shouts and farewells of weeping mothers and lieartbroken sweethearts. EDWABD TENNEY tells what it is IIL-" iii the Boches are about to iiiakf an attas us a much beltei" field of fire ami l^'ritz can't slip up nn II us now. [j; Hark! What was that .'

We look at Joe, but he has "gone west" so we take his lilanket. wr:i]) him in it and swear a little under our breath at those damnable Huns. That done we call to our pals and ask if all is well and feel glad when a gay answer comes back. We've beat the Huns so what the do we care what happens now. "We H know that he'll give us heck in the morning with his artillery just out ■ijj of spite but that bothei's ns little now. JONIS XOIIHY irritcs a llirilliiiri letter tellinf/ of the /iffltf in irhicli Ervin Betclier uf this citi/ icas hilled. "Shi'ai)nel and high exidosive shells were l)ursting like a hail II storm around us. While crossing the wheat field about a thousand III yards from the front lines, I saw Ervin Betcher. 1 yelled across to " him ami as he turned around a Roche high exi)losive areo bomb struck him and then hell broke loose and we surely ca.ught it heavy. We were !}! deploying in open warfare ANitli no i)ermanent or designated front :h lines. The (lennans had been occupying this land for (|uite a while II and knew it well; as we cauu' up to a position they threw a heavy bar- IQ rago over us to cut off supporting reserves. It took us nearly three -85- 1^1 I'' u ■ II -, II ■ i NORMAN COUNTY hours to cross a field about 6UU yards wide. It seemed that every time we would advance that the place we luid just left would be blown right up into the air; jaieces of shrapnel hit my helmet and ripped through my clothes and one piece tore a chunk out of my pants, and I got a gash across the back of my hand from a piece of casing broken off from my machine gun; l)elieve me, I never want to go through an- other battle like that. Entire companies of Marines next to us went over the top and considered themselves lucky if they returned with a tenth of their men. Richard Storberg and I were the only two Ada i\Jarines to Inick the line in this battle after Ervin was killed. LUMAN TENNEY trlls nf life in the Ambulance Corps. I "ftdsh you could hear the sputter of the mitrailleuses (machine guns) that are now shooting their hail of lead over my head to the bat- teries on the opposite hill. The hills are about 200 yards apart and between is a valley which re-echoes and resounds with the noise. The French rapid fire guns make you think of rag time in music, when compared to the sound of the German guns which is quite classical Avith a steadier hum, that rises or lowers, not unmusically, according to the rapidity of the fire. The French is quite staccato, and has a harsh sound, rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, — rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, while the Germans go tat, tat, tat, tat, A\ith no interruptions. This is ac- counted for by the fact that the Boche gun can be swung evenly to all points of the compass while firing, but the French have to fire a few shots in a straight line, then jerk the gun over a slight ways and fire again, which gives it the rythmic sound. We are situated right below the French first line on the siile of the hill, where we can't 1)e touched liy a high explosive and they're very lucky to get at us ^dth shrapnel. Our side of this hill is like a lot of ra1)l)its burrows, and I suppose it is the same on the other side of the hill where the Germans, are, about twenty-five yards away. Considering where we are, today has been one of action. A sur- prise attack was sprung on the Boche which resulted in tlie taking of seven prisoners and getting rid of a lot of ammunition and energy. Two new men came out from Paris to fill up tlie vacancies left l)y those who were chosen for the officers' school, O'Connell and Sinclair. Sinclair comes from Minneapolis, is a University of Minnesota foot- ball star. He has a pretty goo. irrotc of his first I'jpriicHccs on tlic firing line. Another lad (which liapixMicd to be ( )rni from Ada) and I started out to find a watei- detail tliat had been gone for ai)out fifteen hours and we got lost in the wooils. The shrapnel shells were l)Ui'sting around us ami we could not tell where our own lines were, .-o fearing we would run into the P>oche lines, wc just sat down and waited till the bonibai'd- iiient had eased up a little. What do you suppose I diil .' I'nlled out my tobacco and "tnml)led np a dizzy." We have just gone through fifteen days of liell. (lot lots of prisoners and nuichine guns and then turned the guns on the Boches across the lines. We went 4S hours on a (piart of water and ))ractically nothing to eat and there was something doing all the time. The Boclie put a ban-age over us from 12 to 1 at night and then repeated the next morning with another one from 4 to '). I never Avill forget that night, foi- life was not worth nuicii, lying in a hole about three feet deep, but I came out all O. K. The next night they shot gas shells in on us for 11' four hours and that stulf is hell. 1 tell you no one can tell me what war is like now, for I know all about it. I We imt in seven days where it was almost impossible to get food I and water. No blankets, just lay on the dani)) ground and tlu' nights were cool enough to chill one to the bone. I did not have my shoes off for seventeen days, so you can see what we were up against. l-'rance i> a beautirul country and they sure have the best roads T ever saw. How is e\-er\-thing in the Imrg? Suppose it is the same old town. When 1 get back 1 will come np and board with yon for awhile and tell vou all aboid it. Wm see I expect to come back. After living tlirn that barrage that night I believe God is Avith me. We all prayed the best we knew how, for it seemed like sure death. The Boche started across that morning but did not come far. The French ]ieo- ple think the marines are little Gods, for they say we saved Paris. We sure stop|)ed them and then drove them back. Whenever you get them in a tight place, they conu' with hands np, calling, "mercy, mercy, comrade.'' The nmrines had tried to take these woods a few days ago and wluMi we went thru, the dead nu'u's shoes had been taken of¥ by the Germans. ^1 — S7— li iiiiiii n i iiiii i i ii i i ii i i iii ii iii uiimiimimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiijmiiiii ii] NORMAN COUNTY ^3 W\ gg ij '--M We are going to win tliis war, no (juestion in nw mind and I think there will he very few prisoners (American) taken. I know in our outfit we will fight as long as we have got life. These woods we took are sure shot up. Trees a foot through are cut olf. Shell holes 15 feet deep are conmion. The prisoners we took are mostl.v all young lads, a few old heads among them. One that was wounded cried for his mother. Over here one sure gets to see the pitiful part of the war. When we were being brought in to stop the Boehe, you could see old men, and women, little children leaving their homes, as the Boche were driving the French ahead of them. Old women, that were gray headed, walking! It makes a fellow feel like fighting. CONRAD MELBERG tells ivhai fhc Germans thinh of the Marines. You must know by now that we marines gave the Boche hell — wiped out three of their best divisions and crippled two more. The prisoners we got said they have never seen such fighters as the IT. S. Marines. They called us regular fire eaters. The French say we are the Saviors of Paris and call us the Green Devils. A marine in Paris is in "Jake." I don't know when I'll be able to go back to trench duty, possibly in two weeks oi' maybe two or three months, maybe not at all. It all depends on what develops during the next week or two. My eyes and lungs are ([uite sore. ALLAN GILBERT writes his umther pr(tisinar('t-; in tln' city. On Tuesday iiig-lit the Socialists liad a parade dnwii Fifth Avenue and there were ahout 1,000 of tiuMii in all. They were tiyin.n- red ;'a,«:s. Well, sir, when we fellows in uniform saw that we nuide one grand rush for the red tiags. There were only three of us sailors and five soldiers, so we had a hard scrap for a while, hut it was not long before there were a hun- dred men in uniform there and we sure cleaned up on the red Hag socialists. We had tiiem rinminij,' in all directions, and I don't tliink they will start anything foi- a while. We told them there was but one flag to fly in this country at present.

Reviewing the work of the two years from April, 191 7, to April, 1919, we find that the time and labor expended in Red Cross activities produced surprising results, not only in actual output of supplies, but also in what it,' has meant to the community and the individual. They learned the value of co-operation, the importance of dis- cipline and the grace and beauty of sacrifice.. The women of Norman County were anxious to organize a chapter as soon as the American Red Cross sent its call for workers throughout the United States. The Women's Civic League of Ada instructed it's President, Mrs. \V. B. Holmes, to communicate with the Northern Division Headquarters in regard to organizing a Red Cross Chapter. The reply discouraged the idea of forming a chapter but advised Ada to affiliate with the nearest organization. The Women's Civic League in Ada and also the women in other towns in the county decided to take up Red Cross work under the instructions from headquarters and await further developments. Meetings were held in every town in the county. The rural districts were reached through the local press, by individual letters and personal visits. At patriotic meetings held at Ada, Twin Valley, Halstad, Hendrum, Perley, Shelly, Borup, and other places the importance of the Red Cross work was duly emphasized, so when Norman County Red Cross Chapter organized early in August every town and village in the county was ready to form its particular local branch to carry on the great work. The Norman County Chapter of the Red Cross was formally organized on August 6th, 191 7, and By-Laws adopted at the next meeting held on August 17th, 191 7. The following branches and Auxiliaries had been organized at date of the Chapter annual meeting held October iith, igi8: 208 Members Perley July 24th, 1917 Hendrum (From Moorhead, Clay County Chapter). Dec. 3rd, 1917 Halstad Oct. 3rd, 1917 Shelly Sept. 6th. 191 7 Good Hope Mar. 25th, 1918 Lockhart Jan. 2nd, 191 8 Gary Sept. 29th, 191 7 Twin Valley Aug. 21st, 1917 Borup Sept. 13th. 191 7 Flom Oct. 4th, 1917 Bear Park Feb. 27th, 1918 Anthony Mar. 22nd, 191 8 Mary June 17th, 191 8 Sundal Aug. 21st, 1918 Spring Creek June, 1918 10 " Besides the above there were 750 members in Ada and immediate vicinity, the Chapter Headquarters. Soon after the annual meeting in October, 1918, the Ada branch was organized. Branches and Auxiliaries were organized as follows: — Ad.a Branch Officers 1918-1919 Mrs. Lambert Roesch Mrs. C. C.

The proceeds of other contributions to the branch were $2,512.12. The Twin Valley Branch donated $245. 65 to the Norman Coun- ty Red Cross Public Health Association. The surplus fund from this branch for tiie use of headquarters was $2,688.70. The total gross receipts of the Twin Valley Hranch was about $6,500.00. The branch woriced for 17 months, had 53 meetings, knitted 1,075 pairs of socks, 372 sweaters, 60 pair slips, 37 mufflers, 10 sheets, 25 hand towels, 64 dozen bandages. Mrs. W. B .Holmes, County Vice-Chairman, was very successful in organizing and pushing the local Red Cross work in Ada, and also with the assistance of Mrs. B. F. Tenney, Chairman of Women's War Work for Norman County, in arousing interest in all parts of the county and in assisting in the organization of the branches and auxiliaries. The membership drive in December, 191 7, was fairly successful and the one a year later resulted in over four thousand new and re-newal memberships. The Junior Red Cross in 191 8 returned a one hundred per cent membership for every school in the county. The campaign in June, 1917, for the first Red Cross war fund yielded nearly Five Thousand dollars. In May, 1918, Fifteen Thousand, Two Hundcrd and Twenty-seven dollars were contributed for the second war fund. The general policy of the County Executive Committee was to leave the de- tails and policy of each branch to the local organizations, except as instructions and suggestions were directed or strongly recommended by headquarters. The branch- es were largelv financed by the proceeds of auction sales of contributed articles. These aroused great interest in each community and not only brougiit generous sums of money to the local treasuries but greatly increased the membership and enthusiasm. The principal sales brought in the following sums of money to the respective Branches and xAuxih'aries: — Gary i 2,400 Hendrum 1.275 Perley , 846 Twin Valley - - 4,000 Ada $2,600 Borup 2,300 Halstad 2,202 Lockhart i. 5-1-2 Shelly __ 302 Another source of revenue was a Home Talent play, which was put on eleven times in or near the county and netted Six Hundred dollars. Patriotic addresses were given by local men and by men of note from outside, at Red Cross meetings through- out the county in connection with the drives for funds and memberships, as well as at the sales. The school committee under Mrs. I. J. Boraas, assisted by Mrs. Ida Rud Falconer, Countv Superintendent of Schools, was practically efficient in or- ganizing the Junior Red Cross in every school in the county. At Ada, tile County seat, where the soldier boys of the county entrained for their training camps, each group, on the evening of their departure, was served with a supper by the Red Cross, and entertained, when practicable, with music and farewell patriotic addresses by local speakers. The surgical dressing class was organized in May, 191 8, with the following officers Miss Anna Amundson Chairman Miss Ethel Benneth Secretary Miss Clarice Pfund Instructor Ninety-eight members were enrolled, fifty-two receiving Red Crosses. Nine thousand, three hundred and fifteen dressings were completed. Members of Surgical Dressing Class. Mrs. L. B. Hessler Florence Allen Helen Svmons Min Fulton Florence Lindow Mrs. G. L.

Of all the home activities, perhaps none were more important than the Liberty Loan Drives. The Government needed mone\ and the bonds had to be sold. Without the money our armies would ha\e been helpless. The first issue of Liberty Bonds drew only three and one-half per cent interest. The sale of these bonds took place in June. 191 7. The county was not orznnired n^ i' ilpi HP II ES m m\ —103— was in the later Liberty Loan Bond Drives and the sale was handled mostly through the banks. iVIr. A. L. Hanson was county chairman and $29,000 worth were sold which was the allotment for this county. The second bond sale came in the fall of 191 7 and was also in charge of Mr. A. L. Hanson. There was considerable speaking and several public meetings held at this time but there was not the personal canvassing done and manv people were not asked to subscribe. $165,000 worth of bonds were sold at this time. The third Liberty Loan Drive came early in the spring of 191 8. D. C. Jones of Ada, was County Chairman and appointed a District Chairman for each county com- missioner's district. Every township and village in the county also had its committee of three or more with a chairman for the township or village. Every section was thoroughly organized. The names of those who acted as District Chairmen and solicitors in the various precincts of the county are given in the alphabetical list on another page of this book. Mrs. C. C. Allen of Ada, was County Chairman of the Ladies Liberty Loan Drive. So thoroughly was the work organized that it is doubtful if there were any persons in the county who were not personally solicited during the campaign. The result was that Norman County went over the top by more than $121,000. The allotment for the county was $300,000 and $421,150 was subscribel. There were all told 2,742 people in the county who subscribed to this loan. A great deal of advertising, both in the newspapers and with advertising posters was done in this campaign. The business men of the countv bought space in the newspapers and dedicated it to ad\ertising for the loan. The fourth Lihert\- Loan was the largest of all, but due to the fact that the county had been well organized for the third loan, it also went over well. Mr. M. F. Hanson of Gary was the County Chairman. He used the same organization as was used in the third loan and a good many of the committee remained the same as in that loan. $683, 950, or considerably more than half a million dollars was raised in this drive and 3,429 people subscribed to it. The fifth Liberty Loan which came in March, 19 19, after the war \\;as over, was perhaps the hardest to put over and it fell to the lot of S. E. Bergh of Halstad, to act as County Chairman. That he did his work well is seen by the fact that the quota was raised, or practicalK' so. $502,200 was raised in this loan. The slogan of this drive was, "Let's Finish the Job," and Norman County did its share to the end. !-l THE NORAL^N COUNTY DRAFT BOARD. The draft board was appointed by the president on the recommendation of the Governor. The board of registration, where possible, was to consist of the county sheriff, the county auditor and a physician. The Norman County Local Board therefore consisted of Sheriff P. A. Peterson, as Chairman; Count\ Auditor Fulton, as Secretary, and Dr. J. T. Shelland, as Examining Physician. Dr. W. B. Holmes was later appointed Examing Physician and C. E. Wentsel was appointed Chief Clerk, December ist, 191 7. The first duty of the local board came with the June 5tii, 191 7, registration. Registrars in each precinct in the county were appointed at this time to register all men between the ages of 21 and 31 years. The following were appointed registrars in the various precincts of the county : Bear Park, H. O. Halstengaard Flom, Carl Ask Fossum, Oscar Peterson Gary, Martin Hanson Good Hope, L. L. LefHer Green Meadow, W. J. Duenow Halstad Twp., A. O. Serum Halstad Vil., A. O. Ueland Hendrum, Oscar Stordahl Hendrum Vil., Oscar Helland Home Lake, L. H. Aasgaard Ada, A. M. Mueller Anthony, Carl Edwards Lake Ida, Henry H. Natwick Lee, C. T. Hovden McDonalsville, A. A. Hastie Perley, B. A. Helland Pleasant View, Henry Klusman Rockwell, John Eastvold Shelh, |ohn Sorenson Shelly Vil., R. R. Syrdahl Spring Creek, E. L. Berglind Sundal, G. AL Erstad Twin Valley, Peter Presting Waukon, Henry Andring Wild Rice, J. F. Heiberg Winchester, Gust Sontar 104- In this June 5th registration about 14(H) registered. Another registration day- was held August 24th, l<;i8, for those who had become 21 since the first registration and 100 registered in this county. The last registration, that of Sept. I2th, 1918, u-as for all between 18 and 45, not including those who had registered in the previous registration days. About 1800 registered at that time, m.iking the total for the county about 3200. The total number who entered the service through the local board was 445. The list published elsewhere in this book gives about 800 names. The additional names are those who had resided here and enlisted at other places, and those who were under age at the tiine of the first registration. (^f the more than .?2()0 tiiat registered only s \\ ere hn:ili\ classified as deserters and of the.e three eventually were in tile service. Perhaps none of the Local War Organizations iiail more to do nor were the target for more criticism than the local board. The continual strain of the work un- dermined the health of the Secretary, P. A. Peterson, and when the influenza epidemic came on in the fall of igi8 he efl la victim to the disease and died from the effects of the same in March, 1919. It can be truthfullv said that he gave his life in the service as much as anv who died in the trenches of France. THE I.rTHl R AN MROTHFRIIOOn DRIVE. The Lutheran Brotherhood was organized to see to it that the Lutheran Church and its influences should follow the Lutheran boys to the camps, both in the United States and abroad. From Feb. 22nd, 1918, the Lutheran Hrotherhood inaugurated a campaign to raise $750,000 to carry on its work and a sum nearly twice this amount was raised. 'Fhe drive in Norman county was in charge of P. (). Onstad of .Ada, and it was planned to raise $5,000, and a little better than $6,000 was raised. WAR SANING STAMP DRIVE. The sale of thrift stamps did ei]u.il w iiat the (rovcrnmetit thought it would, so a national campaign was started to sell them with each state, county and even smaller divisions was assigned its cpiota. In Norman county the territory was divided into eleven districts \\ ith the post master of the district the chairman. The following were the districts and the chairman of each. Shelly District — Shelly X'illage and Tovvnsiiip and ,1 portion of Good Hope Township, with Peter Moen as Chairman. Halstad District — Halstad village and tow nship and a portion of .Anthonv town- ship, with C. O. ^L^dsen, Chairman. Hendrum District — Hendrum v illage and township ;mii part of Hegne township, with Miss Edith Marsden as chairman. Perley District — Pcrley N'illage, Lee township and part of Marv township, with A I. A. Larson as chairman. Horup District — Horup village and Winchester towiishp, with j. j. How en as chairman. Sy re District — Syre and Home Lake township, with H. (). I'.llefson as chair- Flom District — Flom township and village, with .Xiidrew Rogan as chairman, man. Twin \'alley District — Twin X'alley. Wild Rice township. Fossum township and part of Lake Ida and Rockwell townships. [. J. .Meighan as chairman. (jary District — Gary village. Strand, Waukon, Bear Park, Sundahl and parts of Spring Creek and Fossum townships with Halvor Lee as chairman. Lockhart District — Lockhart township and village, with Carl Maas as chaiman. Ada District — Ada, .McDonaldsville township. Green Meadow, Pleasant View and parts of Lake Ida. Hegne, .Xnthonv , Spring Creek townships. Jason Weather- head as chairman. Although we do not have the exact figures, we understand thatNorman county oversubscribed its allotment in this drive. 105- '^':'^V..^\^.-:'- THE FOOD ADMINISTRATION. Perhaps the least thanked and most fervently cursed of all the war activities in Norman County was the Food Administration. This, however, was because this work effected every one and fe\\- realized the importance of what the Food Administration was trying to do. As Food Administrator for Norman County, E. J. Herringer of Ada, received little credit for his creditable performance of a public duty. In checking up the re- turns on flour and sugar for every family in the county of which there were about 3.,ooo and seeing to it that each of these s.ooo families got no more nor less than their share, he had an enormous task. The work in general was a great success in this county and it is fitting that ]\Ir. Herringer and his helpers should receive due credit for their unselfish work. THE FUEL ADMINISTRATION. The control and distribution of fuel and other government regulations was the duty of the Fuel Administration in Norman Countw C. D. Simpson was the County Administrator and he appointed his deputies in various parts of the county. Reports on the coal needed and sold were made to the various officials so that the shortage that existed might be alleviated in the fairest possible manner. One of the activities of the Fuel Administration was the inauguration; of the Heatless Mondays whereby a large quantity of fuel was saved, and at the same time industry was not crippled to any appreciable extent. THE NORMAN COUNTY PRESS It would be unjust not to mention the sacrifices of a group of men who gave in unlimited quantities of their stock in trade, namely newspaper space. Few people realize that it costs anything for a newspaper man to donate a column of space in his paper. And yet it costs money for every column of printed matter that a news- paper puts out. Every newspaper in the county was called on each week to donate of this their stock in trade and at the same time to donate as liberally as any one else to the various war activities. The editor of this book feels that mention should be made of the generous do- nation of space in their papers by the following men and newspapers. Lightbourn & Pfund. of the Norman County Index; W. C. Lee, of the Norman County Herald; The Producers' Publishing Co., of the Norman County Post; The Red River Pub- lishing Co., of the Red River Re\iew of Hendrum ; Ray Lee, of the Twin Valley Times; Mr. McCadie, of the Halstad Journal, and Lewis Garden, of the Gary Graphic. THE LEGAL ADVISORY BOARD. The Legal Advisory Board of Norman County was appointed in December of 191 7, when the questionnairre system of the Selective Service was adopted. The bulk of this work fell to the various attorneys of the county, although some was done by others. It was absolutely necessary that all registrants of which there were about 3,CXX) in the county, should have some assistance in filling out their questionnaires. Al- though many persons outside of the legal profession assisted in this work, mention can be made this time of the attorneys onh . Credit is due to the firm of Hetland and Het- land, Brattland & McLaughlin, Stearns & Strom, Peter Matson and O. J. Ostensoe. NORMAN COUNTY FARM BUREAU. At the time the war broke out Norman County was without a County Agent. In order to increase food production and help win the war the County Commis- sioners were asked by the Federal Government to employ a County Agent. The Commissioners realized that this was one way to help win the war and the money was appropriated. County Agent Brandt was therefore employed and his work to- wards winning the war should be mentioned. — 106 — ife . II i ll One of the projects that was of great benefit in increasing the wheat yield was the tcstinjj and adjusting of the threshing machines of the county. A goodlv number of bushels of wheat were saved in this manner. The securing and placing of farm labor was an important work of the farm bu- reau during the war. A large number of laborers were imported and placed on the farms by the count\ agent. The labor situation reached its most acute stage at har- \cst time in 1918 and it became the duty of the county agent to marshall what was called the "shock troops." from the stores and business places of the villages of the county. Dozens of business and professional men who had not shocked grain for years, or who had never done so, were put to work to save the wheat crop. In addition to this the Farm Bureau co-operated in the various Liberty Loan. Red Cross and other activities and was a considerable factor in the success of these drives. i -107 — io8- CO. E. ELEVENTH BATTALION INFANTRY, MINNESOTA HOME GUARDS. In the spring of 1'J17, when the National Guard Companies were called into the federal service, the Minnesota Home Guards were organized for home service to take the place of the National Guards. The membership was to be such men who had not been called into the federal service. The matter was agitated in Ada in the fall of 1917 and an organization formed independently of the State Organ-zation. On March 21st, 1918, the Company was formally sworn into the state organization as Company E. of the Eleventh Battallion by Major Loring of Crookston. The Company was never called into active service, but did perform a valuable service in several ways. Twenty-three of its members afterwards entered the fed- eral service and it was in the Home Guard Company that they first obtained the rudi- ments of their military training. It was a valuable aid to them and helped in several cases in their gaining promotion. It was deemed necessary during the war time to patrol the streets of .Ada at night so as to guard the grain elevators and for several months a detachment of the Home Guards were on this duty every night. Squads from the Home Guards on several occasions made it possible that de- ceased sold'ers from the county being buried with military honors. The company raised money for the purchase of their uniforms by giving enter- tainments, by the Home Guard Carnival at the County Fair in July, 1918, and in various other ways, so that the people of the state were not to one cent of expense for their services. The roster of Company E'. is as follows: Capt. B. F. Tennev Capt. O. C. Ogaard COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. 1st Lieut. H. W. Thune 2nd Lieut, .\ndrew O. Guren 1st Lieut. Medical Officer Glen C.

YEARS will elapse before the history of the world war, 1914-1919, can be written. It was so vast and involved such tremendous issues, such a number of nations, that the mere compilation of all the material necessary will require the combined efiFofts of historians in many lands. It will not, indeed, be possible for the present generation to form definite views concerning the war — that will be left to a later age which will be able to judge in a calmer mood than are any writers now. For it is not too much to say that no really neutral author can be found who is in a position to give that strictly unbiased and unimpeachably correct description of the war which blind Justice and all-seeing History unite in relentlessly demanding. Besides, the mere physical fact of getting all the requisite intimate and detailed information is so gigantic that it cannot be accomplished by any single indi\ idual were he to live a hundred years. So, for tlie time being the sole object must be to give a condensed sketch of the most colossal event which History has recorded. An array of facts is already available, and among them are some outstanding and especially conspicuous features which, as it were, form the skeleton of it all. When attention is called to some of these, memory will almost automatically recall a mass of those seemingly insignificant details that must needs be omitted from a very brief account. It is possible now to forecast with some accuracy the main lines of future research with respect to the war: Undoubtedly it will be found that the entire period divides itself into three distinct and sharply defined sections, and for the purpose of the present sketch that outline will be adopted here. Presumably historians of the future will speak about three periods of the war. The first will consist of the thirty-two months from the outbreak of the European conflict to April 6, 1917, when the United States Covernment declared war against the then imperial German Government. Everyone now agrees that this red-letter day in American history marks the beginning of an entirely new epoch in the history of the world war, and that the turning point of the entire conflict dates from that portentous Good Friday. The second period covers the nineteen months between the American declaration of war and the signing of the armistice agreement between the Allied and associated governments on one side and Germany on the other. During this period the really decisive fighting took place, the climax being reached when the German legions after their supreme efforts in March, 1918, were thrown back by Allied and American armies all over northern France and Flanders. At the end of the second period tlie generals and the rank and file of the armies almost disappear from view: The diplomats hold the stage during the third period which began when the last shot of the war was fired and which ended on June 28, 1919. when defeated Germany accepted the peace terms imposed upon her by the conquerors. In the following sketch an attempt will be made to tell the story of the first period in as general a way as possible and with the omission of a number of details which are important but which will be properly discussed in the standard works that will be written in the future. Special emphasis will be placed upon the story of the second period because that is essentially America's, and in the outline of the events of the third period only leading facts pertaining to the peace negotiations will be stated. Such is the aim, and such is the scope, of the following summary which makes no pretensions and which seeks to provide only a connective record of some of those countless major events which made up the greatest of all dramas enacted upon the eternal stage of History. — 121 — (From the Outbreak of the IForld War to April 6, 1917) The outbreak of the world war was not, strictly, due to the mere accident of the killing of the Austrian archduke, Francis Ferdinand, but that assassination became the climax of a series of events which had gradually led up to the crisis. In a measure, the war may have been unavoidable because diplomatic complications had develoi ed beyond the control of one single power or one group of powers. Yet, this supposition does not eliminate the established fact that the Austro-Hungarian government precipi- tated the war by dispatching on July 23, 1914, one of the most brutal diplomatir nates known to history: It was addressed to the Serbian government which complied with almost every demand presented, but refused to compromise when the issue narrowed down to one of national honor and self-respect. Should Austria-Hungary, now defunct, plead anything by way of e.xtenuation it might be by referring to the fact that imperial Germany was prompting and coaching the Vienna government, and that the initial guilt rests with the Prussian war lords. Even if that is generally conceded, Austria cannot effectively shield herself behind an excuse for her weakness. In other words, secret diplomacy, subtle intrigues in the chancelleries of Europe, and general lust for increased power had prepared the way for a crisis — and that crisis was, in the final analysis, brought about by the ruthless machinations of Austria and Germany. There is no escape from these damaging facts, and future historians, viewing the world war with less prejudice than may now be existent, undoubtedly will point an accusing finger at the military cliques at Vienna and Berlin, thus con- firming what seems to be at the present time a verdict which cannot reasonably be considered debatable. Serbia's proud refusal to accede to Austrian propositions caused a declaration of war to be issued at Vienna against the Serbian nation on .Tuly 28. Three days later Russia began to mobilize her armies and on August i used this as a pretext for declaring war against Russia. On the same day the German armies inxaded Luxembourg; on August 2 Germany demanded unobstructed passage of her troops through Belgium, and declared war on France August 3. The following day Great Britain demanded that Germany respect the neutrality of Belgium, and as no guarantee in that respect was forthcoming. Great Britain issued a declaration of war against Germany. Many other declarations of war were made during the early part of August so that when the first British troops landed in France August 16, and when Russia two days later began an invasion of East Prussia, the greatest part of Europe had been plunged into the abyss of war. Was all this due to Germany's and Austria's attitude? Let us see: We know from published diplomatic records that Sir Edward Grey on July 27, proposed a conference for the possible solution of the Serbian problem ; the meeting was to be held by the German and Italian ambassadors to Great Britain — friends of Austria — and the French ambassador and Sir Edward Grey on the other side as friends of Russia. France, Russia and Italy accepted the British proposal, but Germany declined, without consulting Austria, to participate on the exceedingly flimsy ground that "she could not summon Austria before a European tribunal to settle a dispute with Serbia." Against this specious argument Sir Edward advanced the assertion that no attempt was to be made in the direction of arbitration, but that only a private and informal discussion was sought. But Germany persisted in her refusal to take part in the conference. Recalling these well-authenticated facts, hoiv can anyone doubt ivhere the original guilt lies? Other proposals for averting the war were formulated, but Germany and Austria were obdurate in claiming that the issues involved could be settled only by the sword. And vet we have in the unpleasant, but instructive revelations of Prince Lichnowsky, German ambassador at London in 1914, a declaration to the effect that it would have been easv to find an acceptable solution of the problem — if not the Berlin government had made it clear that it ivanted war and nothing else. 122- DiplonKitic negotiations were carried on with astounding swiftness in those excit- ing days, and as soon as all efforts had proved futile, the guns hcgan u, speak where the diplomats left off. <- i By reason of her then superior military forces and equipment, perfected durintr many >ears for this purpose, (.erm.iny was able to make immense progress in the field In the first three weeks of August Ik-lgium was overrun; Liege, Brussels and Namur captured, and Louvam with its ancient university and librarv reduced to ruins and ashes; the English made their famous Mons-Charleroix retreat, and in East Prussia the Russians were defeated at Tannenberg. At the same time the German legions advanced so close to Pans that the French government removed its personnel and arcliues to iiordeaux. At the battle of the Marne, September 6-10, the Germans iiad reached the extreme point of tbeir advance and were driven back decisiveh- b^ the Frencl, from he Marne to the Aisne river On September 7, the Germans took Maubeuge, and October 9, the immense fortifications of Ant^verp were stormed bv the Germans who here used their giant siege guns for the first time. The Belgians remo^•ed ' their government to the French city of le Havre, and on the same dav Ghent was occupied by the invading foe. In the latter part of October the battle of Yser, extending over nvelve days, was fought with the result that French and Belgian troops stopped the German advance toward the Channel ports. In Poland the Germans also were driven nacK. •n rJtr ^Tc'^'-' was uslK-red in by a British naval victory over a German squadron in the North Sea and by Germany proclaiming a "war zone" in certain waters surrounding the British Isles. It was on this latter occasion that the United States Government issued a note holding Germanv to strict accountabilitv if anv American merchant vessel were destroyed or any American citizens killed in conscpience of the licrman \\ar zone proclamation. On land, German luck was waning: The British captured Neuve-Chapellc in March : Russians took Przemysl, and at the second battle of Yser,— April 1 7-Mav 17 —the Germans failed in their desperate attempt to pierce the British lines VVhen German submarines attacked and sunk the Cunard line passenger steam- ship, Lusitani.-i on May 7, killing wantonly 1.1S+ persons, among them manv women and children, a turning point in the war had been reached because this single act, drastically conhrmmg all former reports of unexcelled atrocities in Belgium and I- ranee, eventually brought the United States into the war by reason of the fact that 114 of the persons killed aboard the steamer were American citizens. The diplomatic correspondence between Washington and Berlin concerning the sinking of the Lusitania was one of the notable features of the year. In other respects, Germany was again favored bv the luck of war- The Bilti, provinces were successfull\- invaded : Przemysl xvas retaken : Lemberg ;vas capture, for the second time by Austrians and Germans; Russian Poland was conquered- n 1-rench offensive to demolish the German lines in Champagne was a failur- an.! 'in the early davs of December Serbia was completely vanquished bv the combined 'armies ot Austria, Germany and Bulgaria. The year 1916 began with the British evacuation of Gallipoli and the fall of the Montenegrin capital— but it also witnessed Germanv's costiv and futile five-months' attempt to^ capture the French fortified city of Verdun. The greatest na^•aI battle in the world s history was fought in the North Sea off the Danish coast bet^^-een the Kritish and German navies, the latter retreating from the fight. The summer's battle at the Somme where Allied attempts to break through the German lines were made in vam. was offset b>- a great Italian offensive which succeeded in driving out the Austrians, and in the capture of Gorizia. At about the same time Roumania entered the war on the side of the Allies and was speedilv defeated bv the Teutons _ Shortly before Christmas, 1016, Germany surveved the situation and found that It justified an offer of peace to enemies whom she arrogantlv thought defeated Once "lore the diplomats spoke. Chancellor v. Bethmann-HolKveg declared in the German -penal diet that his government was ready to "talk peac-e," and six davs later ic n m im — 12?— statement of their war aims. The upshot of the correspondence was that the Allies curtly rejected the German offer as "empty and insincere," and that they informed the American president that they wanted restorations, reparation, and indemnities. Baffled in their peace manoeuvers the Germans in January, 191 7, issued their decree establishing the fact that from now on they were to wage unrestricted sub- marine warfare against foes and neutrals alike. This step led to President Wilson's dismissal of Count Johann v. Bernstorff as German ambassador to the United States, and his asking the consent of Congress to arm American merchant vessels; at the same time the president made it clear that although the nation's patience was approach- ing the breaking point, only an overt act on the part of Germany could cause American wnr participation. Early in the j'ear a revolution broke out in Russia, the government of the Czar collapsed, and after this Russia was virtually out of the war. Among other leading events of the spring of 191 7 was the State Department's exposure of official German attempts to persuade Mexico to fight the United States in behalf of the German cause, in the event that the American republic should declare war. On April 2, Congress convened in extraordinary session "because," as President Wilson said, "there are serious, very serious, choices of policy to be made and made immediately." In his famous message delivered that day the American executive asked Congress to declare a state of war against the German government because it "had put aside all restraints of law and humanity" by repeatedly killing American citizens and destroying American shipping upon the high seas. It was in this message that the president coined the American war slogan: "The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquests, no dominion." After a heated debate in the Senate as well as in the House of Representatives, the resolution declaring a state of war with Germany, was passed, and immediately signed by President Wilson. SECOND PERIOD (From the American Declaration of War to November 11, 1918) The American declaration of war was signed and became effective on C-iood Friday, April 6, 191 7, and steps were immediately taken to participate actively in the fighting. First of all, German vessels lying in American ports were taken over by the American government, many of them having been partly destroyed by their crews before the moment of temporary confiscation (which, by the way, in the end proved permanent). Legislation creating an army by the compulsory military service system through a method of selection was passed by Congress, and with incredible swiftness the huge war machinery of America was put together and set in motion. About four million men served in the United States army during the period of the war with Germany ; the total numbers of those bearing arms in all the forces of the country, including the army as well as the navy, the marine corps, and other branches, was approximately 4,800,000 so that practically 5 per cent of the population of the country was armed for the fight. A noteworthy feature of the beginning of the American-German war was the spontaneous enthusiasm with which men everywhere declared their willingness to bring the supreme sacrifice for the cause of their country and for the ideals to which that nation solemnly had declared its unswerving adherence. That spirit endured through- out the entire war period and manifested itself not only on the battlefield, aboard the vessels of the navy and in the training camps, but also among the organizations which came to be known as the civilian auxiliaries of the armed forces. Moreover, the spirit of enthusiasm was plainly evident in the attitude of that immense part of the popula- tion which, for a variety of reasons, must needs stay at home to perform that work which made the military and naval operations possible. At the outbreak of the war, the country's male population was about 54,000,000 ; during the war about 26,000,000 either registered for military or naval service or served without being registered ; in other words, almost half the country's male — 124- population stood ready to fight or was just about to take part in the fighting. German inih'tary experts figured that America could never ''amount to much," as they sneeringly remarked. It might be possible, some of them admitted, to get a vast number of soldiers, but — "what's the use? They are not trained — they can't fight!" The Clerman emperor's remarks about "that contemptible American army" were recalled, and Kipling's good-natured sentence in his "American Notes," that the Americans "have such a cute little army," was frequently quoted in the German press — but not good-naturedly. As it came to pass, the Germans not only were forced to realize that the Americans were numerous, brave and efficient, but that also the methods of training adopted here worked miracles. In the end, it was acknowledged even in Berlin, and even by some of the most rabid anti-Americans, that the ultimate defeat on the battlefield was largely due to the magnificent work of the American war machinery. This is not the place to go into details about the organization of the country's armed forces — indeed, the correct details are just now being compiled and tabulated at the \Var Department and will not be available for a long time to come. It will be sufficient for the purpose here to say that the work of organizing the army on a war footing in this country was successfully supplemented by a transport system which resulted in bringing more than two million American soldiers across the Atlantic to France and Flanders ; also, the task of carrying supplies to maintain and feed the immense army was faced and discharged with unprecedented efficieniry and punctuality as well as with a thoroughness that overlooked nothing. (On the battlefield the summer of 191 7 uas characterized by a series of actions which resulted in the successful British storming of \'imy Ridge; the blowing up of the Messines Ridge; the battle of Paaschendal, and the Russian retreat and debacle. During this period America was organizing, and in the latter part of June the first detachment of the American Expeditionary Forces was landed in France under the command of General John J. Pershing. Tiie American baptismal of fire came on November 3. when a small contingent of American soldiers went to the tight — singing and cheering as they \>ent through downpouring rain. This was significant of the spirit and the morale of the Americans: Even under the most trying circumstances they kept up their high spirits and their dauntless courage which the foe, to his sorrow, found he could not destroy. The year ended with a British defeat at Cambrai and with the British capture of Jerusalem, and in January, 191 8, the first American soldiers were stationed in front-line trenches. Following the overwhelming defeat which the Russians had suffered in the fall at the hands of the Germans, peace was dictated by the victors at Brest-Lit()\sk — a peace which the Germans were forced to repudiate when the Allies in turn dictated terms to them at Paris in the summer of 1919. Russia was out of the game and Germany felt she was ready to stake all on a supreme effort to \anquish the rest of the Allied powers. She figured that even though America had declared war. and e\en though the Stars and Stripes had appeared on the battlefields and over the trenches, there was nothing to worry about. So the German general staff designed its plan for a huge attack which was intended to finally rout the Allied armies. On March 21, 1918, the German offensi\e began, and at tiie same time the German artillery opened a useless and wanton fire on the city of Paris. Daily advances were made by the Germans, and the entire world followed with bated breath the rapid de\eIopments on the battlefield where it seemed that the Allies were compelled to yield more and more ground every day. Then it happened — what some had suggested should have happened long before — that the command of the Allied armies was delegated to one man for the purpose of unifying the defense. General Foch — now marshal of France — was appointed the supreme commander of all the Allied armies on the western front. Meanwhile, the second phase of the German offensive had started early in April on the Armentieres front, and six weeks later the third phase of the attack opened at Chemin des Dames, the Germans capturing Soissons two days later. -125- On June 6, the Americans won a signal victory at Chateau-Thierry, forever to be remembered in the annals of American history, and the Germans for the first time began to realize seriously that their new foes were formidable enough to be reckoned with, inasmuch as the Americans were arriving at French ports by the thousands every hour. Following French counter-blows in the middle of June, the Germans early in July opened their final great offensive in the Marne region and four days later Foch was ready to begin his ultimately victorious offensive, followed three weeks later by a British offensive at Montdidier. Late in August, the British captured Bapaume and Mont Kemmel which had been formerly taken by the Germans, and on September i,^, the American army found its second opportunity to show what it could do when it straightened out the famous St. Mihiel salient which had baffled the trained fighters of the European Entente armies for three or four years. The victory was swift and complete, and Pershing's fighters were lauded as being among the reallv great heroes of the world war. Even the Germans forgot the imperial sneer about the "contemptible" American army. Barelv two weeks after the St. Mihiel battle, Americans opened the Argonne battle which resulted in the Germans retiring hour after hour across ground thev had previouslv taken. In the middle of the noise of the fiercest fighting of the war cnme an indication that the end was near, for Bulgaria, one of Germanv's allies, found it necessary to sign an armistice agreement with the Entente army leaders. Whether or not this announcement had anv direct influence upon the soldiers of the Central Powers — -it is T fact that from that time on it seemed as though thev had comnletelv lost their power of resistance. Onwnrd stormed the American, French and British soldiers. St. Quentin was taken. Cambrai was taken and a large number of other strategicallv important places followed in short order. At the same time the Italian armv was administprinfr defeat to the Austrians who surrendered on November 4. The follow- ine dav Pershing's First Armv made g^-eat strides ahead on both banks of the Meuse river and *;oon were within five miles of the great trunk line crossincf to Metz. On Vo\ember 7. the Americans captured the citv of Sedan, and immediately before the armistice with Germany was concluded on November 11. thev took the citv of Stenay. When Foch assumed command and when the leaders of the German armies realized that it \\-ould be useless to try to stem the tide of the Allied armies thev prevailed unon thp Berlin eovernment to open negotiations with a view to brineing about bocfilities The direct offer was made October 5 to President Wilson to whom an appeal was made urging him to place the armistice offer before the Allies. A series of notes were written and dispatched between the European cnoitals and W.Tshineton makinp- it clear that the Allies would erant an armistice on condition that the Germans immediately retire from all occupied territory and surrender a vast quantity of war material so that resumption of military activity would be forever out of the question. While American soldiers were contributing on the battlefield to the winning of complete victory, thev were ably and consistently supported by what was aptly called "the battle lines at home." Concerted efforts were made to repress all varieties of pro-Germanism and dis- loyalty everywhere in the United States: organizations encouraging patriotism and willingness to sacrifice were created in every nook and corner of the land. The administration worked hand in hand with the people: The food supplies of the country were put under government control, and it was systematically urged upon the people that it was imperatively necessary to be frugal and saving in all things. Herbert Hoover who had supervised the distribution of food in devastated Belgium was made the supreme food administrator in this country which was districted into 2.600 local sections each with an inspector at its head, supported actively by countless voluntary food saving workers. Circumstances made it necessary to curtail the home consumption of certain staple commodities such as flour and sugar, and the population gener.ally acquiesced in all the measures taken because it realized that "food wins the war" almost to the same -126- extent that efficient armies do. The food saving campaign was organized and more than twelve niilh'on food sa\ ing pledges were signed. From 140.000 pulpits ministers urged their congregations to be economic, and similar appeals were sent to members of more than 190,000 associations, fraternal and social, throughout the country. Coal consumption was placed under the control of H. A. Garfield who attempted to intensify the production and to minimize the consumption in homes, factories, stores and offices. For the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the American railroads, the govern- ment took over temporarily the vast net of tracks that connect all the sections of the country. It was deemed necessary to centralize the management of the roads so as to insure at all times ample and swift-working facilities for the transportation of soldiers and supplies. For similar reasons, the telegraph and telephone lines were later placed under the temporary control of the administration. In these and numerous other direct ways the "battle lines at home" supported the actual war work at the front. But that support in itself, no matter how indispensible it was, was not •sufficient; it was necessary, also, to provide the "sinews of the war," that is, to obtain the money necessary for the maintenance of the gigantic war machinery; furthermore, the brothers-in-arms of the United States had to be aided with loans. For this reason, "Liberty Bonds" were offered to the public; the first, asking for the amount of two billion dollars, was opened shortly after the American declaration of war; it was taken b\- more than four million people who subscribed not onl\ the quota stipulated but also $l.9.^S.226 more. In October, 1917. shortly before American soldiers began to take part in the fighting abroad, the government asked that four additional billions be loaned it by the people. The response showed an oversubscription of $1,617,532,300, and almost nine and a half million citizens, including women and children, took part in this loan. On the first anniversary of the war declaration. April 6, 1918, the third Liberty Loan campaign opened; three billions were asked for this time, and $4,1 76. 516.350 \\ as lent to the government bv nearlv eighteen million individuals. The fourth Liberty Loan campaign was somewhat handicapped by the fact that victorv seemed so easily within reach on September 28, 1 91 8. when the campaign was started ; a few days later came the German praver for an armistice, and the American nation apparently had some difficultv in realizing that it was more necessary than ever before to come forward with the money. But it came: The government received from 21 million people an excess of nearly one billion dollars over and above the quota asked for. War Sa\ ings Stamps formed an important factor in tlie financial support which the nation gave the fighting hosts abroad, and more than a billion dollars went to the country's treasury through this channel. In addition to these activities, private organi- zations were immensely diligent and enthusiastic in carrying on the necessarv war work: The Young Men's Christian Association sent hut equipments and thous-^nds of secretaries and assistants abroad and to the training camps in this country for the pur- nose of givine the soldiers access to some of that entertainment and som" of those luxuries which thev would otherwise po without. The 'V'oung Women's Christian Association did similar work, confinins^ its efforts mainlv to the camns in this country. The Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare Board, the American Library Association, and the War Camp Community Service all worked harmoniously for similar purposes here as well as in France. The Salvation Army, an international organization whose aim is to carry out Christian principles in practice, was among those earliest on the battlefield, and testi- mony from all sources indicates that the assistance rendered by this group of servants of humanity can never be too higblv pr.iised nor too keenly appreciated. But, without attempting to minimize the importance of the work and the iiumanitarian efforts exerted bv all other civilian war auxiliaries, no one will doubt that the Red Cross was one of the most important of them all. The American Red Cross, alwa)-? even in time of peace ready to extend succor to those in distress, found its greatest opportimitv vrhcn the Avar broke out, and not only -were thousands of — 127— nurses sent abroad, but chapters were also organized in every city, town, village and hamlet of the country where industrious women spent many hours every day knitting sweaters and socks for the soldiers and making numerous other articles which would give comfort in the trench and in the camp. When the selective service men left their homes, the Red Cross bade them the last farewell and put candy and cigarettes in the pockets of the soldiers ; wherever the troop trains stopped the Red Cross appeared with coffee, luncheons, and other refresh- ments, and when tlie men embarked in the transport vessels, the Red Cross was there to see that they wanted nothing. Disembarking in foreign ports, soldiers were met by smiling Red Cross representatives speaking to them and cheering them in their native English, and if a German shell or bullet hit an American soldier, a Red Cross nurse would be at his bedside very soon. In the hospitals and in the trenches. Red Cross nurses were seen at all times, and wherever they went, cheerfulness came with them. Sometimes it happened that the ability of the surgeon was of no avail, that the mercy of the nurse was in vain, that the comforting words of a minister of the gospel were not grasped — that death seemed unavoidably near, then it was as a rule a young woman dressed in the white gown of universal charity with the cross-shaped emblem of mercy sewn to her dress, who sat at the death-bed of the soldier listening to the last whispered greeting which he asked the nurse to bring to his dear ones at home.

Nov. 12 — The abdication of Emperor Charles of Austria is officially announced at Vienna. — Latest advices from Germany show that while desultory fighting is occurring in Berlin, and that naval mutineers are refusing to yield to any authority, the Socialist (Government is proceed- ing toward full control. All factions of the Socialists are apparently working in unison and the ultraradical, or so-called Bolshevist element, has gained great recognition. The agreement which has been reached between the Socialist and Independent Socialist Parties and the new re- gime seems to have secured .<;upport from the press. In addition to the Wolft:' Bureau, the Socialists are now represented by 3 newspapers, the Vorwaerts, the Lokal-Anzeiger, formerly the Emperor's favorite newspaper and now rechrist- ened the Red Flag, and the former semi-official organ, the North Gazette, which has taken the new title of the International.
