WAR WORK CONNECTICUT DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN 
 
 REVOLUTION. 
 
 BEFORE AND DURING THE PARTICIPATION OF THE UNITED STATES IN THE 
 
 WORLD WAR. 
 
 August, 1914, to April, 1919. 
 
 Before the United States declared war, April 6th, 191 7, the Daughters of the 
 American Revolution in Connecticut were devoting themselves chiefly to the 
 work of assisting the Red Cross and National Surgical Dressings Committee, 
 sending comforts to our men on the Mexican border during the brief flurry with 
 Mexico, and raising money for the Commission for Relief in Belgium and other 
 relief agencies. 
 
 When our own country at last awoke to its duty and plunged into the fight to 
 save li])erly and civilization, the Connecticut Daughters were among the first to 
 mobilize for war relief service. 
 
 Immediately after diplomatic relations with Germany had been severed, in 
 February, 191 7, the State Regent sent out to the chapters the following call to 
 service and a few days later, pledged their loyal support to President Wilson 
 juid to Governor Holcomb. 
 
 A CALL TO THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION 
 
 IN CONNECTICUT. 
 
 Chapier Regents and Members: 
 
 The President of the United States has severed diplomatic relations with Ger- 
 many. Our country stands for democracy and liberty, for law, order and the 
 principles of humanity, for which our forefathers fought and our foremothers 
 worked and prayed. If we are called to the supreme sacrifice of war in their 
 defense, the Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution will be found 
 in the forefront of service for "Home and Country." It would be a slur upon 
 their patriotism to imagine otherwise. Home-preparedness is the solemn duty 
 of the hour. 
 
 Every Chapter, therefore, in the state should be a center of activity in the pro- 
 motion of preparedness, taking up that form of efifort best suited to its op- 
 portunities. 
 
 I therefore urge each Chapter to redouble its efiforts to increase the member- 
 ship of the American Red Cross, sending as many names as possible to our State 
 Chairman, Mrs. C. L. F. Robinson, 1161 Prospect Avenue, Hartford. 
 
 I earnestly recommend, in addition, that each Chapter Regent appoint a Red 
 Cross Committee in her Chapier through which it may co-operate with the Amer- 
 ican Red Cross in response to the appeal just issued from Red Cross headquar- 
 ters in Washington. 
 
 Donations of money should be sent to our State Treasurer, Miss Jennie 
 Loomis, Windsor, to be by her forwarded to the American Red Cross. 
 
 The spirit of '76 bids us rally, one and all, regardless of creed or party, to the 
 support of the President, gladly and loyally upholding him in his stand for the 
 honor of the nation, for the just defense of its citizens in the peaceful exercise 
 of their rights, and for the maintenance of humanity and civilization in the world. 
 
 Sincerely yours, 
 
 ELIZABETH BARNEY BUEL, 
 
 State Regent.

 LETTERS TO AND FROM GOVERNOR HOLCOMB. 
 
 Litchfield, Connecticut, Feb. 8, 191 7. 
 His Excellency, Marcus H. Holcomh, Governor of Connecticut: 
 
 My Dear Governor Holcomb — The 5,000 Connecticut Daughters of the Amer- 
 ican Revolution offer to you, to their state and to their country the fullest meas- 
 ure of devoted service. 
 
 The spirit of our forefathers and foremothers is awake and responds to the 
 call as in the days of '76. 
 
 We will uphold to the best of our ability the honor of our state in whatever 
 may be in store for us and we stand back of you in whatever you may do to keep 
 Connecticut in her accustomed place in the forefront of service and sacrifice for 
 our country. 
 
 Sincerely yours, 
 
 (Signed) ELIZABETH BARNEY BULL. 
 
 State Regent, Connecticut D. A. R. 
 
 State of Connecticut 
 Executive Chambers, 
 
 Hartford, February 9, 1917. 
 
 Airs. John L. Buel, State Regent, 
 
 Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution. 
 
 My Dear Mrs. Buel — Your letter of the 8th inst. is received, and it gives me 
 great pleasure to read the expression of the sentiments of the Daughters of the 
 American Revolution, which of course is no more than I would expect of them. 
 It is time that we took an inventory of the state to find out how prevalent those 
 sentiments are in 191 7. 
 
 I remember that we had copperheads in the Civil War, and according to his- 
 tL-ry, we had Tories in the Revolutionary War, and I suppose that we will find 
 what corresponds to them at the present time, but it is well to take an inventory 
 and find out how numerous they are. 
 
 Again thanking you for your letter, I am, 
 
 Sincerely yours, 
 (Signed) M. H. Holcomb.

 TELEGRAM TO PRESIDENT WILSON. 
 
 Litchfield, Connecticut, February 9, 1917. 
 pi'^oodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America. 
 
 The Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution, 5,000 strong, endorse 
 your stand for our sovereignty as a nation, for law and order and the principles 
 of humanity for which our forefathers fought and our foremothers worked and 
 prayed. 
 
 We, their descendants, uphold you to the furthest limit of sacrifice in main- 
 taining the honor of the nation and protecting its citizens in the peaceful ex- 
 ercise of their just rights. 
 
 Call upon us for whatever service we can render. 
 
 (Signed) ELIZABETH BARNEY BULL, 
 
 State Regent, Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution 
 
 The President's reply was an engraved card, received next day, as follows.- 
 
 The White House, 
 Washington. 
 
 The President is very grateful for the generous message of confidence and ap- 
 probation which you sent him, and he wishes to express his genuine apprecia- 
 tion of your support. 
 
 From all over the state the chapters responded with loyalty and enthusiasm 
 to the country's call. They responded both as chapters and as individuals from 
 that time onwards to every call of the government and to every need which came 
 within their power and province to fill. They went "over the top" in every 
 "drive" for funds and supplies in which they were expected to take part. They 
 accomplished a vast volume of war work while at the same time — and this is to 
 their everlasting credit — maintaining all lines of their regular work (excepting the 
 erection of memorials) without decrease in expenditure of money or of efifort. 
 They simply added their war work to their usual activities and carried this 
 double burden in the belief that the maintenance of their usual educational, pa- 
 triotic and social service agencies assumed the importance of war measures and 
 should not be neglected. 
 
 When our 26th Continental Congress in April, 19 17, ordered the appointment 
 of the National Society's War Relief Service Committee, the State Regent at 
 once organized our State War Relief Service Committee in accordance with its 
 instructions. These were to appoint every chapter regent as a member of this 
 committee with the State Regent as chairman, the chapter regent to appoint her 
 own substitute if she preferred. The committee was to act for the duration of 
 the war. 
 
 The National Society organized and suggested work by means of bulletins sent 
 out by our National War Relief Service Committee to the State Regents for dis- 
 tribution to the chapters. The first to be sent out were questionnaires for regis- 
 tration for service, whereby the Society sought to ascertain its working strength. 
 
 These registration blanks were issued to the chapters, enough for every mem- 
 ber, as soon as they were received, in June, 1917, for our then 5,216 members. A 
 total of 1,965 or 37.67% of our membership were returned filled out, from 46 
 
out of our 50 chapters. (See pages 20 and 21 for record of returns tabulated by- 
 chapters). They were sent to Memorial Continental Hall to be filed and 
 tabulated. 
 
 The complete set of National Society Bulletins which followed, together with 
 accompanying letters to the chapters from the State Regent, is on file among the 
 Connecticut D. A. R. records. The work done in response to these and other ap- 
 peals forms the substance of the following pages of tabulated records. 
 
 What cannot be tabulated is the mass of work for the Red Cross and other 
 objects, which unfortunately goes unrecorded. 
 
 Without exception the chapters threw themselves unreservedly into Red Cross 
 work, food conservation and production and other war activities, but so largely 
 as individuals that their records are merged with those of other agencies. Many 
 members responded to the appeal to keep their individual records of work, that 
 we mght know what our members were doing in the Great War, but the largest 
 part did not, although a systematic effort was made by many chapters, by means 
 of service cards, to preserve these valuable records for posterity. Hence our 
 records in almost all lines of war work and in Liberty Loan investments fall very 
 far below the real figures. 
 
 For example, in Red Cross work, the Daughters of the American Revolution 
 took the lead, though working so largely as individuals without keeping records 
 that their chapters had no means of even estimating their production. Some 
 chapters reported "thousands'' and many of them said "impossible to estimate" 
 or "no record kept." This should be remembered when the following figures are 
 read. 
 
 Twenty-five D. A. R. chapters organized the Red Cross chapters, auxiliaries, 
 or groups of workers in their respective towns, most of them after the breaking 
 out of the war, and all over the state the Daughters were the Red Cross chair- 
 men, officers, supervisors and heads of departments. 
 
 Eighteen chapters had committees of co-operation with the Red Cross ; Emma 
 Hart Willard chapter reported that the "whole chapter was the committee" ; 
 Martha Pitkin Wolcott chapter stated that the Red Cross in its town "co-operated 
 with it," and Sibbil Dwight Kent chapter was "at the head of the Red Cross." 
 
 Thirty-one D. A. R. chapters had a 100% Red Cross membership and the 
 whole state attained 93%%. Indeed, the Connecticut D. A. R. were the first 
 to inaugurate a systematic Red Cross membership campaign among the Daugh- 
 ters. At the Continental Congress of 1916, Mrs, George Maynard Minor, Vice- 
 President General from Connecticut, introduced a resolution in behalf of the 
 Connecticut delegation, asking as many Daughters as could to join the Red Cross, 
 iliis was unanimously adopted by the Congress. The idea had been first sug- 
 gested by Mrs. Minor at a meeting of Ruth Wyllys chapter in Hartford, and to 
 carry it out and follow up the resolution of Congress, the State Regent appointed 
 a State Committee under the chairmanship of Mrs. C. L. F. Robinson of that 
 chapter to work up a Red Cross membership campaign among all Connecticut 
 Daughters. This was when the American Red Cross numbered less than 50,000 
 members. The result was a large increase in Red Cross membership in Con- 
 necticut which paved the way for the splendid service rendered the Red Cross 
 by the Connecticut D. A. R. during the war. 
 
 In short, the rapid increase in Red Cross chapters and membership in Con- 
 necticut and the remarkable efficiency of its work are due in large part to the 
 efforts of the Daughters. They simply "ran true to form" after the manner of 
 their foremothers. 
 
 In food conservation the chapters co-operated with the food administration in 
 all its activities, canvassed for signatures to the Hoover pledge cards, and cut 
 
lO 
 
 down their consumption of food by cutting out or simplifying refreshments at 
 meetings. Twenty-three chapters cut them out entirely and nineteen cut them 
 down to "tea and wafers." The members were all punctilious in their patriotic 
 obedience to food regulations. 
 
 In canning and preserving there was a uniform story of hard work and loyal 
 co-operation. Hundreds upon hundreds of cans and glasses were put up by 
 chapter members over and above their usual activities in these lines. In many 
 towns the Daughters were leaders in the conservation movements, acting as chair- 
 men of home economics commit! ees, demonstrators and teachers. Community 
 canning activities were also organized and conducted by individual Daughters 
 and by chapters. 
 
 The figures for Connecticut D. A. R. investments in the five Liberty Loans 
 speak for themselves. (Pages 54-60). 
 
 In the Fifth Loan Mary Clap Wooster chapter won the prize of $2,000 to be 
 added to the records of the woman's organization selling the largest number of 
 bonds in one week, and also the prize of $5,000 awarded in the same manner to 
 the organization making the largest number of sales in three weeks. It also 
 won the honor flag, having had reports of individual investments from 75% of 
 its members. 
 
 The splendid work of the chapters in contributing $5,465.24 to the 
 N. S. D. A. R. $100,000 Liberty Loan Fund put Connecticut far "over the top," 
 our quota, assessed at $1.00 a member on the 1918 membership having been only 
 $5,178. At the Continental Congress of 1918, the Connecticut delegation con- 
 tributed during the "Rally" for this fund, the sum of $306, of which $150 was 
 contributed by the delegation as a whole in honor of our Vice-President General, 
 Mrs. Minor, the State Regent, Mrs, Buel, and State Vice-Regent, Mrs. Bissell. 
 
 Every chapter without exception contributed to this Liberty Loan quota, thus 
 making the state 100% as to chapters, and forty-five chapters out of the fifty 
 were 100% in their chapter quotas, nine of these being far more than 100%. 
 
 In the N. S. D. A. R. Fund for the restoration of the French village of Tillo- 
 loy, undertaken by our Society as a whole, the Connecticut chapters also went 
 "over the top," contributing $3,030.54 when our state quota was only $2,589 at 
 50c. a member. Tliirty-eight chapters went over the top with their quotas, and 
 only five did not contribute at all. 
 
 The fund instituted by the National Society for sending women to training 
 camps for war work was contributed to by many of our members, who had reg- 
 istered a pledge of $30 for this purpose on the registration blanks previously 
 mentioned. The sum of $1,180 was realized from these pledges and the State 
 Regent appointed a committee to find and pass on applicants. Ten students were 
 sent to the National Service School at Washington and to the Chautauqua sum- 
 mer encampment. A balance remained unspent, which was later released by the 
 donors for the purpose of giving it to the endowment fund of the Ellsworth 
 Homestead. 
 
 Programs of chapter meetings have invariably been of a patriotic and dis- 
 tinctly warlike nature. Many chapters held public "war rallies," with martial 
 music, national anthems of the Allies, best loved songs of the war, and patriotic 
 addresses by prominent war-workers, by men in service and by returned war- 
 workers, both men and women. 
 
 Entertainments have all been given to raise money for the Red Cross or other 
 war work, and have consisted in general of salvage sales, the usual food and 
 card parties, war foods only being used, teas with music and speakers, concerts 
 and plays, large public whists with "melting pots" ; "pound parties" ; exhibitions 
 of antiques; a lecture on "Army and Navy Camouflage".; public lectures by war- 
 
II 
 
 workers and collections taken ; lectures on Tilloloy with our official D. A. R. lan- 
 tern slides ; "white elephant" sales, free-will and birthday offerings, costume 
 dances and garden parties. 
 
 The individual quota system for raising money for chapter war chests has been 
 pursued by some chapters on the "same principle as the state quotas for specified 
 sums. 
 
 Miscellaneous donations of money not otherwise listed have had many and var- 
 ious objects, such as local Farm Bureaus, Blind War Relief, Training Camp 
 Fund, French Orphans, etc. 
 
 In other war agencies, the Daughters were to be found serving as officers, man- 
 agers, and most efficient members. They were chairmen of local Liberty Loan 
 committees, and food conservation and home economics committees ; twenty-eight 
 were chairmen of their town committees of the Woman's Division, State Coun- 
 cil of Defense and officers of local war bureaus ; others were first lieutenants of 
 "Minute Women,'' war rally speakers, members of the Speakers' Bureau, State 
 Council of Defense ; chairmen of W. S. S. drives ; members of the Connecticut 
 State Council of Defense ; captains of teams and secretaries of war drives ; offi- 
 cers and managers of hostess houses ; members of motor corps ; chairmen and 
 secretaries of Red Cross membership campaigns ; and war-workers serving in 
 capacities too numerous and varied to mention. 
 
 The State Regent represented the Connecticut Daughters on the Executive 
 Committee of the Woman's Division, Connecticut State Council of Defense ; on 
 the Connecticut Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, of which Mrs. Morgan G. 
 Bulkeley, another Daughter, was the State Chairman, and was a member of the 
 Speakers' Bureau, speaking at several war rallies in this capacity, as did also our 
 Vice-President General, Mrs. Minor, and State Vice-Regent, Mrs. Bissell. The 
 General of the Housewives' Army ; the State Chairman of the Girls' Patriotic 
 League, and the State Chairman of the Victory Commission, State Federation of 
 Women's Clubs, were all Daughters. 
 
 Twelve Connecticut Daughters enlisted for foreign service, and one of them. 
 Miss Alice Cunningham Rogers, gave her life for the cause. The following reso- 
 lutions of tribute were adopted by the Connecticut delegation at the Congress 
 of 1919: 
 
 RESOLUTIONS ON DEATH OF MISS ALICE CUNNINGHAM ROGERS 
 
 Resolved, That the Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution at the 
 annual state meeting held in Washington, April 14, 1919, record their sorrow on 
 the loss of a_ valiant member, Miss Alice Cunningham Rogers, of Putnam Hill 
 Chapter — a Y. M. C. A. worker who died on March 21, 1919, at Neuilly, 
 France, while rendering a noble service for her country and humanity ; and, be it 
 further 
 
 Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to her bereaved family and 
 to the Putnam Hill Chapter.

 The Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution had no sympathy 
 with pacifism or pro-Germanism, mawkish sentimentahty, or mushy forgiveness 
 for the Hun, a foe steeped in infamous crimes against humanity. Unconditional 
 surrender of the Htm, victory absolute and unquestioned, were their watchwords. 
 The high spirit of their race, in arms once more for liberty, was theirs in fullest 
 measure. So marked was this spirit amongst them in common with all other 
 red-blooded American womanhood, that the State Regent felt justified in send- 
 ing the following telegram to President Wilson at the time of his interchange of 
 notes with Germany in October, 1918: 
 
 "To the President, Washington, D. C: 
 
 "Five thousand Daughters of the American Revolution in Connecticut beg of 
 you to stand firm for unconditional surrender and total defeat of the Hun on his 
 own soil. Nothing less can be tolerated by those who give sons, brothers, fath- 
 ers, husbands, that the world may be safe against a repetition of German atroc- 
 ity and diabolism. 
 
 (Signed) Elizabeth Barney Buel, 
 
 State Regent, 
 
 Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution. 
 
 Various resolutions adopted by the Connecticut Daughters during the period 
 of the war reveal their patriotic temper, the spirit of their forefathers showing 
 clearly in their attitude toward the momentous happenings of the times. They 
 took a definite stand in favor of compulsor)' and universal military training, urg- 
 ing these measures of protection and preparedness upon the government in res- 
 olutions ofi^ered by Mrs. George M. Minor, Vice-President General, and adopted 
 at their State Conference of March, 191 7, on the eve of this country's entrance 
 into the World War. They also went on record, in a resolution passed at a spe- 
 cial meeting of chapter regents, held on November 23d, 191 7, as favoring the 
 most drastic measures possible in war-times against all pacifists, spies, pro-Ger- 
 mans and other traitors within our gates. These two resolutions follow : 
 
 UNIVERSAL MILITARY SERVICE. 
 
 "We, the representatives of 5,000 Connecticut Daughters of the American Rev- 
 olution, in annual State Conference assembled in the city of New Haven, March 
 28, 1917, do unanimously and solemnly adopt the following resolutions: 
 
 "Whereas, by sinking our merchant ships without warning; by murdering our 
 citizens on the high seas while peacefull}^ exercising their just rights of travel 
 thereon ; by plotting to invade and dismember our territory under cloak of friend- 
 ship and peace, and by stirring up treason and sedition within our borders, Ger- 
 
17 
 
 many has made war upon us, and therefore we are now by her acts alone, in a 
 state of war; and , 
 
 "Whereas, owing to our traditional and blind belief in our ability to get ready 
 in a moment, we now find ourselves unprepared to face such a catastrophe ; 
 therefore be it 
 
 "Resolved, that we urge upon our President, to whom we have already offered 
 our fullest support, the need of exercising his authority to the utmost limit in 
 the upholding of our national honor and self-respect, and that we urge upon 
 Congress the need of adopting not merely emergency measures, but that 
 it should definitely recognize the principle that the duty of defending the nation 
 rests equally upon all citizens capable of service and not merely on the loyal 
 National Guard and patriotic volunteers, who should not be left alone to bear the 
 brunt of national defense ; and to this end that it should establish immediately a 
 permanent and democratic system of defense based upon universal military ser- 
 vice and training ; and further 
 
 "Resolved, that we, the women who send our sons, husbands and fathers to the 
 defense of our country's rights and liberties so basely assailed, hereby declare our 
 right to demand that they be adequately trained and prepared, now and hereafter, 
 to meet the enemy on fair and at least equal terms and not defenseless as a vis- 
 ionary and traitorous pacifism would leave them ; that we hereby condemn such 
 pacifism as disloyal and dangerous, giving aid and comfort to the enemy ; and 
 likewise condemn all other acts designed, in this hour of peril to prevent the adop- 
 tion of measures for the protection of the country ; and 
 
 "Resolved ; that we, as descendants of the men and women who founded this 
 nation on the basis of human liberty, do hereby declare our readiness to make 
 like sacrifices as theirs for our country ; and furthermore call upon all Ameri- 
 cans to show their unswerving loyalty, in this world war against a savage mili- 
 tarism, to those same principles of democracy now at stake in Europe ; and 
 
 "Resolved ; that copies of these resolutions be sent to the President of the 
 United States, to the Secretary of War and of the Navy, to the members of both 
 committees on military afifairs and to our senators and representatives in 
 congress." 
 
 PACIFISTS, SPIES, PRO-GERMANS AND TRAITORS. 
 
 "Whereas, many of us heard with approval the vigorous remarks of Governor 
 Holcomb, of Connecticut, against pacifists in this state at the meeting of Ruth 
 Wyllys Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, in Hartford, on No- 
 vember 17th, and realize that there are many, not only in this state, but in the 
 country ; and, 
 
 "Whereas, we feel that there has been too much laxity on the part of our na- 
 tional government in dealing with pacifists, spies, pro-Germans and traitors and 
 also with enemy aliens, be it 
 
 "Resolved, that we, the Chapter Regents of 5,000 Connecticut 'Daughters of the 
 American Revolution, in special meeting assembled, urge our state and national 
 governments to take the most stringent measures afforded by martial law in war 
 time for the protection of our country from this peril within our gates ; and 
 
 "Resolved, that copies of this resolution be sent to the President of the United 
 States, the Secretary of State, and the Governor of Connecticut." 
 
 Adopted by chapter regents at a special meeting at Hartford, November 23, 
 1917.

 State Recording Secretary.

 The armistice was viewed with disappointment and foreboding by many who 
 had hoped to see their boys march victorious into Berlin through a humiHated 
 Germany, forced to suffer legitimate retribution on her own soil for the woe and 
 ruin she had dealt out to others. 
 
 h'urthermore, at a special meeting of chapter regents held in January, 1919, 
 this spirit was shown in the various resolutions unanimously adopted. One was 
 to endorse the movement of the American Defense Society to promote a general 
 boycott of German-made goods. Another endorsed the petition of the Com- 
 mittee for the Protection of Women in International Law in response to the ap- 
 peal of the women of France that officers and soldiers of the German army com- 
 mitting outrages upon women be severally and individually punished as criminals 
 and the women so injured be declared "wounded in war." Another endorsed a 
 bill pending in Congress to forbid the use of the red flag of Socialism or any 
 other disloyal emblem. 
 
 A fourth resolution, which was presented by Mrs. Minor, Vice-President Gen- 
 eral, Mrs. Sedgwick, Regent of Mary Clap Wooster Chapter and Mrs. Bissell, 
 State Vice-Regent, called upon our Society to do all in its power to promote An- 
 glo-American friendship and mutual understanding. The full text follows : 
 
 ANGLO-AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP. 
 
 "Whereas, England and America have been fighting shoulder to shoulder in the 
 World War against German autocracy for the same great principles of liberty 
 for which our ancestors, the patriots of the American Revolution, fought when 
 they resisted the tyranny of George III., a German king on England's throne ; 
 and 
 
 "Whereas, the two great English-speaking peoples of the same ancestry, heirs of 
 a common language, literature, law, ideals of life and Anglo-Saxon freedom, 
 have been once more united in a common struggle for the preservation of these 
 ideals ; Englishmen and Americans laying down their lives together that free- 
 dom might live ; be it 
 
 "Resolved, that we, the regents of the fifty chapters of the Daughters of the 
 American Revolution of Connecticut assembled in special meeting in Hartford, 
 January eleventh, nineteen hundred and nineteen, do declare it to be pre-emi- 
 nently fitting that we, the descendants of those Americans who fought against 
 the principles of German tyranny which threatened to overwhelm the liberty of 
 the English people in the days of 1776, should be among the first to welcome and 
 promote friendship and mutual understanding between our two countries, too 
 long separated by ancient strife and prejudice, but now united in a common 
 cause ; and that we do all in our power as a Society to increase the present sen- 
 timent of mutual good-will ; and 
 
 "Resolved, That we request the National Board of Management through our 
 State Regent. Mrs. John Laidlaw Buel, at its next meeting to take such steps as 
 it may deem practicable and expedient to transmit these sentiments in behalf of 
 the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution to King 
 George, Queen Mary and the people of England. 
 
 Signed : 
 
 Anne Rogers Minor,

 This resolution was endorsed by the National Board of Management and 
 adopted by the 28th Continental Congress upon motion of Mrs. Minor. It was 
 aispatched to King George and Queen Mary and an appreciative note of acknowl- 
 edgment was received from the King by the National Society. Thus shall the 
 memories of the third George become merged in friendship with the fifth and 
 his people, who likewise are our people, pledged to the same ideals of liberty. 
 
 Finally, the spirit of devoted patriotism of the Connecticut Daughters found 
 highest expression in their two "General Meetings" of 1917 and 1918, held respec- 
 tively in Stamford and Hartford. War meetings were they in very truth, with 
 music and addresses so inspiring, patriotic, martial and elevated that they will 
 long resound in the hearts and memories of the Connecticut Daughters of the 
 American Revolution. 
 
 The grand total of expenditures on war work for the duration of the war, ex- 
 clusive of Liberty Loans and War Savings Stamps, amounted to $216,724.72.

 ORIGINAL WAR WORK AND COLLECTIVE STATE WORK. 
 
 LUCRETIA SHAW CHAPTER'S EMERGENCY SUPPLIES OF KNITTED GARMENTS. 
 
 This work, instituted by Lucretia Shaw chapter of New London, for the com- 
 fort of both soldiers and sailors was an emergency measure and was unique of 
 its kind. 
 
 When the sailors began to gather in rapidly increasing numbers at the New 
 London naval bases, the local Red Cross chapter found itself unable to handle 
 the large local problem in addition to the quotas of knitted garments required of 
 it by the Atlantic Division. 
 
 Hence it gladly welcomed the proposal of Lucretia Shaw chapter to meet the 
 emergency by collecting and giving out knitted garments directly to the men do- 
 ing coast guard duty and also to many who sailed directly overseas before hav- 
 ing an opportunity to get the warm clothing from the Red Cross at the time its 
 rooms were open. Many a sailor lad has sailed for France thanking Lucretia 
 Shaw chapter of New London for the warm sweaters, helmets and mittens, etc., 
 wliich he would not otherwise have had. 
 
 This work was begun soon after this country entered the war and was kept 
 up until October, 191 8, when the Government appointed a field director, who took 
 over all stations at New London. Thus the D. A. R. emergency supply work 
 was no longer needed and the chapter voted to discontinue this service which 
 had won much appreciation and praise from the local Red Cross. The field di- 
 rector also recognized the value of the service rendered and would have liked it 
 to continue if duplication could have been avoided. 
 
 Lucretia Shaw chapter at first undertook this work alone, but toward the close 
 was assisted by other chapters in the state, who voted at the State Conference of 
 March, 1918, to take up this work, inasmuch as the State D. A. R. emergency 
 knitting for the Aviation School at Mineola, Long Island, had been brought to a 
 close. 
 
 Lucretia Shaw chapter distributed a total of 654 garments, of which approxi- 
 mately 509 were contributed by other chapters For items, see table on page 38. 
 
 This chapter also opened the historic Nathan Hale School house as a rest and 
 writing room for three summer months for men in service ; and twice in winter, 
 serving crullers and hot chocolate. The men showed much appreciation of the 
 service rendered and 1,089 visitors registered there. 
 
 Lucretia Shaw Chapter also kept a headquarters for children's war garden 
 registration. 
 
 KNITTING FOR AVIATORS. 
 
 Another original work engaged in by every chapter but one as a collective state 
 activity was emergency knitting for aviators at the Aviation School at Mineola, 
 Long Island, N. Y. 
 
 In August, 1917, the State Regent learned that the aviators at this school were 
 receiving no knitted outfits from any organized agency able to supply enough. 
 Therefore, in October, the chapter regents assembled at their annual meeting at 
 Windsor voted to supply the school with the 600 sets of knitted garments asked 
 for by the commanding officer. These sets consisted of six pieces each, namely, 
 sweater, helmet, muffler, mittens (trigger) wristlets and socks, a total of 3,600 
 garments pledged. A certain quota of sets was assigned to each chapter and the 
 yarn was bought in large lots and sold at cost to many of the chapters by a state 
 committee of one, Miss Katharine A. Nettleton, of Sarah Riggs Humphreys 
 chapter. The finished garments were received, repacked and shipped in aver- 
 
70 
 
 age lots of fifty to seventy-five sets throughout the winter by Mrs. Clara S. Barse 
 of Mary Floyd Tallmadge chapter of Litchfield. 
 
 The total number of garments sent was 3,964, at a reported cost of $4,047.55, 
 an amount much less than the actual total spent b)'' the chapters on this work. 
 Of this sum over half passed through the hands of the state committee. 
 
 The commanding officer of the School acknowledged these gifts with very ap- 
 preciative thanks as being comforts of which his men were "sorely in need." 
 Later on, the Red Cross was able to organize its work for Mineola and the Con- 
 necticut D. A. R. voted to discontinue its emergency supplies. For items see 
 table, page 38. 
 
 KNITTING FOR THE U. S. S. ^CONNECTICUT.'' 
 
 Knitting for the battleship "Connecticut" was the first collective state work 
 undertaken by the Connecticut D. A. R. This ship was being outfitted by the 
 women of Fairfield county through the Navy League, and many individual Daugh- 
 ters were doing their knitting for this ship through that organization. The Con- 
 necticut D. A. R. had applied for the privilege of keeping this ship supplied with 
 knitted garments for the duration of the war but were too late to secure her. 
 They were, however, asked by the commanding officer to supply fifty sets of 
 garments of six pieces each or 300 garments. The sets consisted of the usual 
 sweaters, helmets, mittens, mufflers, wristlets and socks. A total of 585 was 
 sent by the chapters, besides which the Connecticut D. A. R. supplied individually 
 about 922 more, making a total of 1,514 garments given to this battleship by the 
 Daughters. For items, see table on page 36. 
 
 ORIGINAL POSTER AND WAR POEM. 
 
 A member of Stamford chapter designed a War Savings Stamp poster which 
 was accepted by the Government, and a member of Putnam Hill chapter pub- 
 lished a war poem entitled "The Battle Cry." 
 
 OFFICIAL D. A. R. ROLL OF HONOR PIN, 
 
 The idea of an official D. A. R. service pin, known as the "Roll of Honor Pin," 
 originated with Ruth Wyllys chapter of Hartford, which designed and had one 
 made at first for its own members, to be conferred by the chapter upon a mem- 
 ber in recognition of her own Government service or of that of a member of her 
 immediate family circle. It was later adopted by the State D. A. R. and recom- 
 mended by them to the National Society, which likewise adopted it by vote of the 
 27th Continental Congress on April nineteenth, 19 18, as expressed in the fol- 
 lowing resolution introduced by Mrs. George Maynard Minor, Vice-President 
 General from Connecticut : 
 
 "Resolved, that the State D. A. R. roll of honor phi, originated by the Ruth 
 Wyllys Chapter of Hartford, Connecticut, shall become the official roll of honor 
 pin to be conferred by Chapters on any Daughter of the American Revolution 
 who is herself engaged or any member of whose immediate family is engaged in 
 ivar service for the United States Government — war service to include armed ser- 
 vice and Red Cross nursing at home and abroad and Young Women's Christian 
 Association and Young Men's Christian Association service, only abroad." 
 
 Knowing that the question of war service admits of wide application and with- 
 out any intention of excluding any worthy war service, the terms of eligibility 
 have been limited to those branches specified in the resolution. The true signifi- 
 cance of the pin lay in its being the symbol of honor through sacrifice by the 
 Daughters of the American Revolution, during the Great War, 
 
71 
 
 Ruth Wyllys chapter handled the pin for the National Society, through its 
 regent, Miss Florence S. M. Crofut, all proceeds over and above expenses going 
 to the war work of the National Society. A large number were sold throughout 
 the country. 
 
 MILITARY RECORDS. 
 
 Before the National So(5iety, by resolution of the 28th Congress, took up the 
 project of preserving the war records of men and women represented on the 
 chapter service flags, Mary Clap Wooster chapter of New Haven had entered 
 upon the plan of putting into permanent form the detailed records of service of 
 the sons of members represented by the stars on its service flag. It began col- 
 lecting and preserving extracts from letters describing battles and army and navy 
 experiences ; also photographs and the records of ancestors who have in the past 
 helped in establishing democracy. A comprehensive questionnaire, modelled on 
 that of the Historical Records Committee of the State of Connecticut, was issued 
 to all members having a claim, either by personal service, or the service of imme- 
 diate relatives, to be included in this record. 
 
 Later, the Connecticut D. A. R. took up the project as a .state work to be pur- 
 sued in a uniform way by all the chapters, and when the Congressional resolution 
 was passed they adapted Mary Clap Wooster chapter's questionnaire to the 
 broader scope of the service to be recorded under the terms of the resolution. 
 
 When the National Board, at its following June meeting, took up the matter of 
 putting the Congressional resolution into practice, it found the Connecticut D. 
 A. R. questionnaire ready to its hand and suggested its use to other states. This 
 questionnaire is, therefore, being adopted as a model throughout the Society 
 at the suggestion of the National Board of Management at this meeting. (D. A. 
 R. Magazine. August, 191Q, page 507.) 
 
 By means of this questionnaire the military and certain specified forms of non- 
 military service records of members and of their sons, fathers, brothers, hus- 
 bands, sisters, mothers and daughters are being collected and preserved. 
 
 The questionnaires are filled out in triplicate, one copy to be furnished to the 
 Historian General D. A. R. as per the Congressional resolution, one copy to be 
 filed in the Connecticut D. A. R. archives at the Ellsworth Homestead in Wind- 
 sor ; and the third to be retained by the member's chapter. The work is under 
 the management of a state committee of which Miss Florence S. M Crofut is the 
 chairman. 
 
 Thus Mary Clap Wooster chapter's history making project has developed into 
 large and valuable Vv-ork undertaken by the entire Society. 
 
 It should also be noted in this connection that the Connecticut D. A. R. are 
 represented on the Military Records Committee of the State of Connecticut by 
 Mrs. George Maynard Minor, Vice-President General N. S. D. A. R., and the 
 Honorary State Regent and Honorary Vice-President General, Mrs, Sara 
 Thomson Kinney. Mrs. Minor was chiefly instrumental in securing the design 
 for the handsome lithographed certificate of recognition of servdce issued by the 
 State to all Connecticut men in the army, navy and marines. 
 
 The compiler must state in conclusion that this is but an inadequate report of 
 all that the Connecticut D. A. R. accomplished during the Great World War. In 
 all that they did their aim was "Victory," their watchword was "Carry On."
