Italy, originally a member of the Triple Alliance, but later one of the chiel t il powers of the Allies, did not enter the war until 1915. She then declared war on all of':II Germany's Allies, but did not break with Germany herself until late in 1916. Before i i the war she was a member of the Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria but severedl I this connection to fight with the Allies. i [ 1: ^::|i After the marvelous advances of the first year, the great battle line in Europe re- If U mained practically stationary for nearly three years and extended over more than 300 I - miles. The large armies of each force fought doggedly, suffered heroically and diedl I willingly, in a mighty death-grip whose battles surpassed the most famous of previous wars for loss of life and destruction of property. I ti j IThe superb Armies of the Russians in the Eastern theater kept the attention of a i I large German force occupied and away from the Western Front. This fact aided the 1 Allies tremendously and probably prevented a German Peace in the second and thirdl 1 years of the War. 1 |' l It was while France, England and Italy were staggering before the last big offensive l l of the enemy early in 1918 that America's force was thrown into the balance in sub- a;1 stantial numbers. UIlt | Her declaration of war against Germany on April 6th, 1917, grew out of the Central 1 Ui U1 Powers' failure to recognize the rights of neutrals on the high seas. Repeatedly the I 1 rights of the United States were violated, and just as repeatedly Germany refused to 1 discontinue her ruthless program of submarine warfare against the world. The sinking II Ui i1| of the Lusitania on May 7th, 1915, without warning and with the loss of 1154 lives, 114 i Ui:! of whom were Americans, was regarded by a great many as just cause for a declaration: i l! of war against Germany. The President and Congress believing differently, failed to i:i act, and it was not until more sinkings of women and children that the United States U I1i decided to step into the breach herself. |t' i a S;:: o:: C ==: F-:= S:=t t 5 =5:: _ =:: f o 7n= 3 =5 =: 3 3 =3 2:= 3 y s iS^t - ,i'! ~ ~:~,...................~,:~!.... ~.......~ i~:~C ~,'.....'~:'i......i~...........................!~.....' —.............

With an unprepared democracy for another enemy in which a great many were believed to have been opposed to war, Germany had little cause for worry, she declared. But America went to work. The act produced an electrical effect on her people and ii almost instantly united her various factions, creeds, parties, and nationalities for one 1 purpose to crush Germany and her Allies. She became a workshop, with no hours, in her determination to end the European fight victoriously, and thus save democracy for II the world. Every effort was bended to the cause, every penny of wealth was eagerly l held ready for the call, and every atom of energy was expended in her feverish haste to Iredeem mankind. Her sons by the hundreds of thousands rushed to the colors, as their fathers did in the wars of their day, to see another victory added to the flag which had never known c (lefeat.

By this time the United States had declared a 'state of war existing with Austria Hungary, Germany's chief ally, and had swung her domestic machinery into the greatest war machine conceivable. She had begun to raise by popular bond subscriptions billions of dollars to supply guns and munitions, and food and clothes, for the boys who were going over to France to do the job. Four Liberty Loans were floated during the war, and the total subscriptions to these amc-nted to between eighteen and nineteen billions of dollars. This amount was taken by more than 50 million subscribers, and was to be only an insignificant factor in the financing of the war, according to the Treasury Department. This cost when compared with the total cost of the Civil War for four years approximately $4,000,000,000 —is proof enough that the World War was not comparable with any previous war in history. In April, 1919, following the armistice, another Fifth or Victory Loan of approximately the same dimensions as the Fourth, was floated. The wonderfully prompt and generous response of the nation to each of the calls of the Liberty Loans was one of the greatest sources of inspiration for the men in uniform who had gone to fight for those at home. The same patriotic generosity that marked the success of the Liberty Loan was evident in each of the scores of war work drives that were conducted for the various relief and welfare organizations. ii ii iI Ii ~II ii, ui aii II II it II Ita H Iti ii; Hr Hl biI Hr Hr Ii I' l, h i I i i II i I 1 it Hi 1:1 I,I ^.

Foremost among the initial probllens of America, alter preliminary plans lor the || raising of her army had been laid, was the problem of transporting them to France, so that their strength might be thrown against the Hun on the battlefield. Shipping was j., not available, and even though it was being increased at maximum capacity, still there iU was not more than half as much as was needed to transport the men in the numbers they H were )being trained and in the numbers they were needed by France and England and I t al y. England gladly\ placed her available shipping at the disposal of the United States, 11. an(l before the war had ended she had carried more than one million Yanks to the side I-i? of her ownt men and those of the French, or nearly half of those who had gone overseas. The importance of the United States Navy in the war can hardly be exaggerated. Within UQ less than a month after hostilities were declared, she had sent a detachment of destroyers 1: to European waters. By October, 1918, there were 338 ships of all classes flying the 11 I American flag in foreign waters. The operations of the Navy during the war covered i the widest scope in its history. They operated in European waters from the Mecditer- i rancan to the White Sea. At Corfu, Gibraltar, in the Bay o' Biscay, on the Irish Coast,:: at the English Channel ports, in the North Sea and at Archangel, they did creditable work. This service was not as brilliant perhaps as that of the army, because the nature 1 of its vital work kept it from the front. Even though its activities were prolbabll less t glorious, still they were none the less important andi necessary to the cause. Naval men served on nearly 2000 craft that plied the waters of the globe, on submarines that had no fear of the under-sea perils, and in aviation where men of courage fought and prevented surprise attacks with new —'ound weapons.

U In diplomacy, in investigation at home and in all parts of the world by naval officers UI | and civilian agents, in protecting industry from enemy spies, in promoting new industries and enlarging older ones to meet war-time needs-these are a few of the accomplish- I1 ments that are outstanding in the part played by the Navy in winning the war. U 11!1 i1 || Shortly after the declaration of war, the submarine problem had become so acute il and the merchant ship losses so great, it became necessary to adopt more effective methods II in cdealing with the problem and making shipping safer. The system of convoy was 1 adopted at the suggestion of President Wilson. This, although it slowed up shipping | i lby fully twenty percent, enabled a comparatively safe passage of troops and was probably J i the greatest stroke of the Navy during the war. U I1 During all the time the United States was engaged in the war the enemy's naval U 1 forces, with the exception of the submarines, were blockaded in his ports. This, of course, i U prevented naval engagements of a major character. The destroyers, submarine chasers U 11 and patrol vessels, however, waged an unceasing offensive against the submarine menace l to shipping and troop convoy, and only three vessels were sunk. These were the Antilles, the President Lincoln and the Covington. Each was struck on her return voyage, so: that the loss of life w-as comparatively small. Only three fighting vessels were lost as II Ui?: the result of enemy action-a patrol ship, a torpedo boat destroyer and a cruiser. The II other transports and destroyers struck by the enemy during the war reached port without II i i loss of life. Other Transports carrying United States soldiers went down but these ', U were being convoyed by the British Admiralty. Chief among these was the Tuscania,,I HO sunk off the Coast of Ireland February 5th, 1918, with a loss of 110 lives. II 'I/:41 l The most serious loss of life in the navy as a result of its war-time activity resulted j jil! l when 111 officers and men of the Coast Guard cutter Tampa perished when their vessel I was sunk in Bristol Channel, England, in September, 1918.

"Among our most importent deficiencies in material were artillery, aviation and tanks. In order to meet our requirements as quickly as possible we accepted the offer of the French Government to provide us from their own factories with the necessary artillery equipment for thirty divisions. In aviation we were in the same situation and here again the French Government came to our aid until w-e were able to get our own air service program under way. The necessary planes to train the air service personnel were provided and we secured from the French a total of 2676 pursuit, bombing and observation planes. The first planes to arrive from America came in IMay, 1918, and a total of 1379 were received during the war. The first American squadron completely equipped by American production, including airplanes, crossed the German lines on August 7th, 1918. For tanks we also were compelled to rely upon the French. We were less fortunate here, however, for the reason that the French were scarcely able to meet their own production requirements in this respect.

By the time that the great German offensive in Picardy began, on March 21st, 1918, the American army had four experienced;| divisions in the line. The great crisis that this drive developed, however, made it im-! possible for the Americans to take over a sector by themselves. Gradually, as their numbers increased and more reserves, fresh from the States, were placed in training behind the lines, the American boys went in in substantial numbers. Already they had displayed their splendid fighting qualities and had demonstrated that as soldiers tlhey had no superiors. Incidentally, it did not take them long to convince the enemy that contrary to their own opinions, they themselves were not invincible. On August 30th, 1918, the American forces took over the first American sector, in preparation for the St. Mihiel offensive. The American line was soon extended across the Meuse River to the west edge of the Argonne Forest. The concentration of tanks, aviation units, artillery equipment, and materials of all kinds for this first great American offensive was enormous. The scores of elements of a compIete army were moulded together, with American railroad and American service of supply units throughout. The concentration included the bringing up of approximately 600,000 troops. The French Independent Air Force, together with British bombing units and American Air forces, placed the greatest aviation personnel that ever took part in any Western Front offensive under the direct command of General Pershing. On the day after they had taken the St. Mihiel Salient a great share of the corps and army artillery that had operated in that offensive were on the move toward the area back of the line between the Meuse River and the western edge of the Argonne. The German General Staff was well aware of the consequences of an American success along this line, and it was determined to use every available American division in an effort to force a decision at this point. The attack began on September 26th. The work of the American army- and of the American engineers in this drive w ill forever remain in Ihit 11t~IInc II. r lu j ~ Ifl II:: &i Iil Iin II: ul IIf Ei If II II Iir r11 II II II II,1 Ii:U IIII II iii '1_ Illi Cop2 Desolation of Flanders, Where the Germans Were Trying to I yrillt by Underwood & Underwcood. ii British Official Photo Break Through Early in 1918. 1,,, >;i: t; 2:!, ii.!i, '., ',i| it!i i Jl l II - I I - I - I - - " ---- - -l- I - 11 11 - I I - I - - I Tl-= r= ==,Z= r== == r= Zj=3== -==X= ' i ,, I : I, I 1 7 I: 1.

Forcing their way through the densely wooide(:l n shell torn areas, The I and shell torn areas, their fight was one of the most brilliant battles of the war. The offensive was maintained until October 4th in the face of innumerable wooded patches, 1 of snipers and concealed machine gunners.:ence l. I Fresh troops with little experience were thrown in with their seasoned comrades, I I who had become veterans over night with this most crucial battle as their teacher. The, second phase began with a renewed attack all along the front on October 4th. More i I1 positions were taken with a precision and speed that always characterized the Yank i li army. Their dogged offensive was wearing clown the enemy, who, continuing desper- ately by throwing his best troops against them, was helpless before the spectacular i|:1advance. At this juncture two divisions were dispatched to Belgium to help the French army |II.1 lnear Ypres. On October 23d, the last phase of the Meuse-Argonne offensive began.: Violent counter attacks by the enemy lost him heavily, while a regrouping of the Amer-,.|j Is fl ican force was going on for the final drive. Plain evidences of loss of morale in the enemy i| i:li forces gave our men added courage and spirit, and finally, using comparatively fresh i11Wi divisions, the last advance was begun on November 1st. It was apparent at this time ji' l that the end was near for the Boche. Our increased artillery support did remarkable | — <1 work in supporting the infantry, which by its clashing advance of the several weeks I: Ij Ipreceding had destroyed the Hun's will to resist. i i 11j Between September 26th and November 6th they had taken 26,059 prisoners and ijj I:11 468 guns on this front. 11 iar=" ";"" - I t ' 'Stt u g 050 t0;0 **^i\8S8~~ ^,4 0 t;02S r0Z1 05 r0 ~i 5;0 uQD t;0;oi~ II I i ihe (livisions engaged in this, the most important of America's battles in the EuI ropean war, were the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 32d, 33d, 35th, 37th, 42d, 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, 82d, 89th, 90th and 91st.

The heroism and gallantry of the boys who fought and died over there; the unceasing devotion and courage of the parents and citizens at home who stood by them so unselfishly; and the determination of everyone, young and old, to unite for the common cause, setting aside their personal desires and interests, was responsible for the glorious victory in which America was so conspicuously instrumental in bringing about.

Graves of Marines Who Died "In Flanders Fields." in in "If in '11''ll il II '11.H. States, the task accomplished was a revelation to all when viewed in retrospect. The accomplishments of the Liberty Loans, the devotion of the millions of mothers and sisters in behalf of the Red Cross, the wonderful response of the country to the operation of the Selective Service Act in raising an army of millions the sacrifices of all, at home and abroad, were universal during the year and a half at which America was at war. Loyalty and love of country were terms with new meanings. Sedition was lurking only here and there, and this was promptly done away with through the efficient secret service department and popular opinion. The four million American boys who were under arms, many of them at the front and the remainder eager for the chance to iump in, convinced the world that the fighting blood that gave birth to their nation had not been diluted through the riotous living of a century. The brave lads who gave tl;eIr lives and are now buried over there went to their fate with hearts full of joy, and in a manner that gave courage to the veterans of four years who fought beside them. And their brave mothers in the States who waited in vain for peace to bring their sons back to them, made the greatest sacrifices within their power with a courage ancd willingness that was unequalled even by the Spartans themselves. When the history of the great European struggle is permanently vritten, there will be no more brilliant chapters than those telling of the part played by the United States of America in stamping out militaristic autocracy from the world. ifi II I~i ij i i irll) i.-i i. 1; 3 II I.

SWINTON To every call sent out during the World War, the women of Ontonagon county gave instant and unanimous response, individually and through organized agencies, such as the Red Cross, the lodges, churches and clubs, they gave time, work, money and unselfish devotion. Through the women's committee, Council of National Defense, which had its main branch in Ontonagon, with units in Rockland, Victoria. Greenland, Mass, Trout Creek, Ewen and Bergland, Ontonagon county \wolnen carried out the work of the state and national committee. A 100 per cent registration was taken of the "Woman Power" of th( county. Several campaigns were waged for the signing of food cards educational campaigns were conducted along food conservation lines, and included the distribution of an enormous amount of literature, bulletins and recipes, home canning and cooking demonstrations by experts, window displays, etc. The nation-wide "Bal)y Saving Campaign" was begun by the weighing and measuring of babies, child welfare exhibits and the distribution of instructive literature on the care and feeding of infants. In several places a trained nurse and physician assisted at these clinics. "Community Sings" were among the most inspiring of the organization's activities. Iyves were ilmoist and hearts were thrilled in these tributes of song to the heroes "Over There." An impressive pageant, typifying "Humanity and Freedom" was given in Ontonagon July 4th, 1918, on the Court House square, in the rays of the setting sun against a back-ground of leafy trees an( green rolling lawn. Nearly two hundred performers took part in costume, and the entire audience joined in singing our country's songs. The beautiful and enduring part of the war work of the women of Ontonagon county is the way in which they worked all together with common heart and soul to "Keep the Home Fires Burning."

McH-lugh is one of the able physicians of Ontonagon county and his selection as examiniing physician of the Local Board was a deserved one. Hie served faithfully and well. He "Carried On." EX-SHERIFF JOHN P. DRISCOLL Chairman of Local Board Ex-Sheriff John P. Driscoll, while acting as chief officer of the law of Ontonagon county, found time to faithfully fulfill the duties imposed upon him as chairman of the Local Board. He "\Nent ()ver the Top." The Ontonagon County Draft Board was organized the latter part of May, 1917, shortly after President Wilson had signed the selective service act. The members of the board served faithfully, tirelessly and efficiently for the duration of the war and for several months following the cessation of hostilities. Ex-Sheriff John P. Driscoll, County Clerk and Register of Deeds William Krohn, and Dr. tt. W. McHugh, appointed by Governor Albert E. Sleeper, officially confirmed by President Woodrow Wilson, comprised the draft board of Ontonagon county. Mr. Driscoll acted as chairman, Mr. Krohn as secretary and chief clerk, and Dr. McHugh as examining physician. Official operations of the Ontonagon County Draft Board began on June 5, 1917, the day of the first registration of young men between the ages of 21 and 31 for military service, when the draft board superintended this important work. Township clerks, justices of the peace, postmasters, lawyers, high school teachers, members of the county normal and other volunteer workers are entitled to much credit for their efforts in assisting with the disposal of the immense amount of work connected with all of the registrations. On June 5, 1917, the first registration day, 1,547 men registered and signified their willingness to serve Uncle Sam in the call to arms. On June 5, 1918, and August 8, 1918, 121 more youths expressed the same determination. On September 18, of the same year, 1,846 others registered for service and a few who were unable to register on the days specified, registered later, making a grand total of 3,527 registrants. The menbers of the local board passed on all questionnaires filed by selective service registrants, this task being an enormous one. Official statistics show that 410 drafted men and 271 volunteers were sent from this county. The chief clerk of the draft board was William Krohn and upon his recommendation Mrs. Edna Gardner and Mrs. Benjamin Huntley were appointed as assistants to the chief. Dr. J. S. Nitterauer volunteered his services to assist in the examination of the selected man and he as well as the members of the board deserves credit for his untiring work. The hoard won praise and commendation for its efficient work from local, county, state and national sources and has many letters of praise from their superior officers on file. The rejections at training camps were less than of any other board in the state of Michigan, being 3.5 per cent. Dr. F. W. McHugh, examining physician of the local draft board, received a very complimentary letter from Adjutant General John S. Bersey, complimenting him upon the very small number of men rejected at the cantonments after having been sent there by Dr. McHugh. The report shows that out of the total number sent to camps after having passed the examination given by Dr. McHugh only three and fivetenths per cent were rejected. There were 252 sent to camp and 14 rejections up to October 18, 1918. The national average of rejections from February to September was 7.6 per cent. Michigan's average during the same time was 9.05 per cent. Ontonagon county's average was only 3.5 per cent. The letter received from the adjutant general follows: "This percentage of rejections is lower than both Michigan's average and the national average. The local examining physician is congratulated upon his good work." The names of the members of the Ontonagon County Draft Board will go down in the archives of Ontonagon county as heroes who served their country just as faithfully and actively as the boys who went "over the top," although they did not wear the uniform of the United States army or navy.

CORGAN The Liberty Loan work of the women of this county was of the highest order; including self-sacrifice and unceasing effort toward the high goal of achievement. Co-operation was the keynote of these activities. There was a complete understanding and unity of effort between the men and women workers. Every one of the towns had at its head a chairman willing to lead the women of her district in any way deemed the most helpful in raising the quota. The women worked unbelievably hard to secure the time from housework and children to work for the loans. Throughout the county the women tried to reach every home by means of a house-toI00y~;00; |lhouse soliciting and information campaign. The work in the schools was exclusively the work of the women, and this work-teaching the value of the loan to every true American, was most profitable. In some \ townships in the county the women did practically all the Liberty Loan work. 0. f OOntonagon has a brilliant record in every war activity-none greater than the Liberty Loans; and the women may claim a just pride in helping materially in the success of this patriotic work.

Black, chairman of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan: The five government loans are now history. In each of the campaigns the Upper Peninsula made a record in which we all take pride. The success is due to the effort, enthusiasm, and patriotism of all of our people. Sixty-eight per cent of our bank resources went into Liberty Loan subscriptions. Our bank statements today do not indicate any shrinkage as a result of these subscriptions. In the first four loans we received large subscriptions from all of our mining corporations. In the fifth loan the copper mining companies, by reason of the depressed condition of the copper market, were unable to subscribe, and the iron mining companies subscribed only a small percentage of their previous subscriptions. The individual subscribers took the bonds and in most instances the subscriptions were voluntary. The five campaigns were conducted by the original organization with very few changes. Credit for our wonderful success is largely due to the Upper Peninsula bankers. In nearly every county, the chairmanship was held by a banker and every other banker co-operated to the fullest extent. Particular credit is due the bankers for the wide distribution of the bonds. Due to their unselfish efforts many initial investments were made by our wage earners. The benefits to be derived by these first investments will add to the future prosperity of our section as a whole and to the individual investor. Total...............................$1,057,200 1.

Ontonagon County Food Administration On January 17, 1918, I received the first intimation that I was to have anything to do with the food administration work. It was in the form of a letter from the State Food Administrator, stating that I had been appointed to the position of County Food Administrator as a volunteer in the Michigan Division. The use of the word volunteer struck me at the time as being rather humorous and had I known then what I knew later in regard to the Food Administration's ability to impose sentence on a man and then ask him to volunteer to carry it out, I rather doubt my being able to see any joke in their appointing (sentencing) me to such a job and then asking me to volunteer to do the work. But I volunteered, as we all did on everything connected with the war, went before a notary and swore to "defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies and to well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office." My work as County Agricultural Agent had gotten mle connected up with the war food production work and this new job I thought would fit in well with what I had been doing. But I found it quite different. One dealt with the stimulation of an established industry more or less familiar to us all, the production of food; the other with the sudden and radical changing of long established personal habits, the conservation of food, an absolutely new idea to everybody. The production of food in Ontonagon County was limited only by the boundaries of its clearings. Every foot of available land was used, even lawns were foolishly broken up and planted to spuds and every ash pile brought forth its cucumbers. Everybody had a garden and regardless of previous experience, or lack of it, canned. Our acreage of wheat doubled because wheat was needed and we saved the laying hens and the dairy cows when what they produced didn't even pay for the feed they ate. Neither labor nor expense was spared. Total product was the only consideration. No one knew when the war would end. Against the sort of foe we faced no one could guess how long the war must be waged. One thing only we knew to a certainty and that thing was that the war would be won, no matter how long it took, nor how much it cost in labor, treasure or in blood. And we knew too that to win that war the armies on the fields of France were but as chaff before the wind, except as they were supported by other armies as large, as heroic, as devoted to their country and their country's flag, and as ready to toil and sacrifice in the furrows of our own fields and the kettles of our own kitchens. No boys had better backing in any way by the home folks than ours. And furthermore food producers were not tempted into patriotism by multiplied pay as the ship builder was. Every man simply felt that he owed the stars and stripes first of all a day's work every day and he produced his utmost. And we all joined in that popular chorus entitled "Telling the farmer how to be a patriot" which we continued to repeat even though the audience ceased to applaud. The County Agent got mixed up in a lot of jobs, some pleasant and some unpleasant. The State War Preparedness Board was going to come to the aid of deserving dependents who tilled the soil. They got the supervisors to circulate around in their townships and find out from each one what he needed in the line of seed, labor, etc., and they all "needed" help. Why wouldn't they? And after a while those reports all came back to the County Agricultural Agent, with the recommendation that he induce local people to help out. And I never yet have uncovered that list of bank directors, mill owners, and saloon keepers who spent some time on the land and who frankly admitted they could have planted more acres if the seed, labor, etc., had been given to them. VWe would send the boy gardeners out with cow bells to warn the folks against a frost, but they also woke the wise but weary one who had already covered his tomatoes. A detailed account of the food conservation work would be but to recall hundreds of regulations which we received and passed on in rapid succession and to tell how each one hit harder in one place than another, and how a new set of troubles with a new regulation was the only relief from the previous one. One day we. were to "Eat potatoes and make the Kaiser mad" and the next to ship them to Custer. First, we must produce our own flour and then when we did we must not eat it. Then we must use substitutes, but-some substitutes were not substitutes. The hotel keepers and retailers would receive a blank to fill out covering their sugar requiremnents, which to fill out was not humanly possible (and the telephone would ring) and the one who made the most mistakes in the right direction got the most sugar. We would anticipate canning sugar trouble and write and wire and worry for several weeks and perhaps have some relief in sight and then some mine captain would discover that the huckleberries were ripe and his people didn't have enough sugar (and the telephone would ring). And then some one who was sick and who really may have been ordered by the doctor to eat coarse foods and cut out sweets would convince the cashier of a bank that he wvs being starved when he couldn't have more sugar or flour than the rest (and the telephone would ring). We had our wheatless days and meatless days. Yes, and we pledged ourselves to "eat no wheat until another harvest" but afterwards some said that they didn't understand that that meant wheat flour too. And then we had our sugar cards which everybody said was the only way to make the other fellow come across and which allowed the whole county to volunteer en-mass. This particularly effective way of getting voluntary service was afterwards used by the whole United States on the sugar saving, and by a good many counties on Liberty Loans and other war work. The camp foreman suddenly discovered that the lumberjack was a hard working man and needed substantial food. The drug stores making syrups for ice cream developed very untimely a big trade in cough syrups which required sugar and was necessary to keep coughing people from the coffin. And then the state went dry and the soft drink business picked up and needed sugar. But we all saved. Some saved for a rainy day and some saved for a dry day. That is, however, a long story. Between trying to keep the coughing from the coffin and also put the beer in the bier we covered some territory. And we had violators, whatever that may mean. I say some were willful (big and little, caught and uncaught); some were grossly careless, and some simply didn't realize how serious minded the food administration was. There were also knockers, some little and some big. \We plied plenty of pity to the petty peaved and piles of publicity to the more ponderous pumpkins. We tried to correct our mistakes and conceal our wrath. Of all the work that we at home had to do in connection with the war, I believe the food work was the most distasteful and I use that word advisedly. Most other things the people were asked to do, the public could see and applaud. But food saving had to be done at one's own table when no one was looking on. It is a good deal easier to be a public hero than a private patriot. We could work hard all day, selling bonds or knitting socks, but then at niight we would have felt better if we could have had sugar in the coffee. But while the boys who went across threw their all into the deal and some of them lost heavily, we at home sacrificed nothing really save tlose who lost friends or relatives at the front. We can truthfully say that Ontonagon county did her full share in the production and conservation of food and as was so often predicted-food did help win the war. To give credit for assistance in this work would be endless. Everybody helped. And I for one (in spite of the fact that recollections of my job as Food Administrator are decidedly unpleasant) am just a little bit proud of the fact that while keeping even with any other county on any war work, Ontonagon was usually several strides in the lead on food conservation. ONTONAGON COUNTY FUEL ADMINISTRATION Portland, Oregon, Oct. 30, 1919. Mlr. D. A. Kooker, Editor, Cloverland Press, Ewen, MIich. My Dear Mr. Kooker: Your letter requesting an article on my to me at Portland, Oregon, where I had been ordered to go by my physicians. As I look with retrospective gaze from this far off land "\Where rolls the Oregon" to those placid shores lapped by the caress of "Gitchie Gumlmie;" after having traversed the intervening space through the rich mineral belts of northern Michigan and Minnesota into the verdant hills and fertile fields of the Dakotas and on through that more rugged country of Montana and Idaho over the timbered mountains of Washington and Oregon to finally terminate my journey at this city Qf roses, as Portland is so properly termed, I recall the poem, "Breaths there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, 'this is my own, my native land.'" Naturally my 53 years' service to Uncle Sam as light keeper, and in other capacities, has had a tendency to develop and intensify the love I have for this land of ours; but I believe, more than anything else, my short, but strenuous term as Fuel Administrator more firmly estallished my unwavering confidence in its destiny, if that were possible, for I had my first hand knowledge and ample evidence of the sacrifices made by the people who, when fuel became scarce and curtailment was necessary not only responded, without complaint or murmur, but voluntarily came and offered more than good judgment, if it were not for the warm patriotism which inspired it, would counsel. Though we boast of our large quota of autos, there were none in evidence during these trying times as all were doing their bit in co-operating with Uncle Sam to save gasoline. Nor was this spirit monopolized by any one class. Mines, mills, factories, all classes of business places, down to the hearth place of the family, unbegrudgingly co-operated in all demands for the common cause"Save fuel so our boys can come home again." Patriotism abides in every true American's breast, at times latent to be sure-for sometimes the necessities and exigencies of the immediate present make us forget-but Ontonagon county has it 100 per cent, and if any one doults it, let him examine the records and be convinced that in no part of our county was there a slacker district. Individuals and organizations threw themselves into the collar and pulled and strained for the common cause and the successful consummation of the struggle. The war is over now and most of our boys have returned "while others sleep on Flander's Field," but my breast swells with pride at being eligible to citizenship in a community which can say with one voice: "We did our bit for our country, our flag and our boys 'till the job was did."

Activities of Interior Township Ladies in the War (By LeVerne H. Porter) When our country entered the great war, the women of Trout Creek, wishing to have a share in whatever work there was to do, called a meeting to form an organization for that purpose. A meeting was held at the home of Mrs. J. S. Weidman, and a Woman's Auxiliary of the Red Cross was organized, and the following officers chosen: Chairman, Mrs. W. K. Porter; secretary, Mrs. Robt. M. Weidman; treasurer, Mrs. O. H. Losey. Later, upon the resignation of the two latter, Mrs. E. C. Ross was chosen secretary, and Miss Daisy Guiley, treasurer. A number of socials and entertainments were given, and in this way over $100 was raised to start a fund for purchasing supplies for knitting and sewing. A knitting committee, consisting of Mrs. Ezra Gingrich, Mrs. M. J. Clossey and Mrs. George Hardes, was appointed, and during the period of the war sent to the county chapter 43 sweaters, 29 pairs of wristlets, 48 pairs of sox, 24 mufflers, 11 helmets, 6 nurse sweaters, 6 trench caps. A sewing committee, under the direction of Mrs. H. F. Guiley and Mrs. R. B. McQuestion, forwarded 30 pair of pajamas, 16 convalescent robes, 36 pillow cases, 22 splint pillows. 48 comfort bags, 13 hospital shirts, 32 pairs hospital drawers, besides tray cloths, napkins, wash cloths and several dozen towels. This committee sent also a number of iefugee garments, quilts and blankets. When the collection of used clothing for Belgian relief was made, we collected and shipped nearly 600 lbs. of garments and shoes, the most of the shoes being new. Mrs. Louis Anderson, of Calderwood, collected a large box of warm clothing and shoes, and the ladies of Kenton contributed two boxes of garments and two heavy new comforters. The ladies of Kenton helped with the knitting. sending in a number of well made sweaters, helmets and sox; while the Calderwood ladies helped with both sewing and knitting. The Woman's Liberty Loan committee did their first work at the time of the Third Liberty Loan. The committee, consisting of Mrs. W. K. Porter, Mrs. R. B. McQuestion, AMrs. R. L. Newland, and Mrs. L. E. Vest, helped to plan and carry out a patriotic rally at Trout Creek on April 12, 1918. A parade, headed by the Trout Creek band, followed by school children and citizens carrying appropriate banners and posters, and a number of automobile floats, was formed at the school house and marched through the streets to the opera house. Here, patriotic speeches in the interest of the Liberty Loan and War Relief were given by Messrs. A. M. Anderson, D. A. Kooker, and R. E. Cheney, of Ewen, and Mr. Louis Anderson, of Calderwood. Considerable enthusiasm was aroused and Interior Township subscribed more than double their quota of bonds. The woman's committee also sold $5,400 of the Fourth Liberty Loan bonds, and $1,400 of the Victory Loan. Late in the summer, Mrs. A. L. Swinton, county chairman of the Woman's Committee Council of National Defense, organized a township committee here, but the signing of the armistice in November, ended the work before much had been accomplished here. There is but a limited field for the women of small communities, but the women of Interior township worked cheerfully and were glad of an opportunity to do their small share of the great work which was being done throughout the United States.

HAIGHT TOWNSHIP RED CROSS WORKERS Miss Minnie Carlson, James Bishop, Mrs. James Bishop, Mrs. Henry Carlson, Henry Carlson. Red Cross Activities in Rockland (By May R. Stevens.) Rockland-Victoria Chapter, of the Red Cross, did its full share of work during the World VWar. In addition to knitting and sewing, a large amount of gauze work was also turned out. Air. Brady, chairman of the Rockland Township Chapter and superintendent of the Michigan Copper Mining Co., had a mine building fitted with two large tables, steam heat, etc., where this work could be done comfortably. As the women worked they necessarily talked-as women's tongues must wagthe subject of conversation being chiefly the best way to use the substitute flours and how to make the sugar allowance go around, and swapping recipes. In this Red Cross work shop several pictures were taken of the ladies at work, but all were either over or under exposed, as it was impossible to arrange the light properly, and the ladies with one accord said time was too precious to spend lining up outside the building for a picture. The Camp Fire Girls did their bit too in every way, but we consider their most helpful stunt was shoveling anywhere from one to four feet of snow off the best part of a mile of sidewalk. Let us not forget our dear old ladies. It was my privilege to have my mother with me during a part of the war period, until she was called home. She knitted and sewed and helped materially with her wise council and good advice as to ways and means; and what was true of her was true of many more whose names we might mention. With a population of 1,000, Rockland township put a total of $115,000 into Liberty Bonds. In the fourth loan, our quota was $27,000, and we raised $62,000. We gave to the Red Cross and kindred organizations, exclusive of the Y. M. C. A., about $20,000. C. A. Mueller was chairman of the township Liberty Loan drives, and his personal efforts helped Rockland greatly in always making her quota and going over the top. Also let us mention that the Boy Scouts did good work as solicitors for the loan and W. S. S. drives. I feel I do not err or overestimate in stating that Rockland gave more of her stalwart sons to the cause of Liberty, compared with her population, than any other township in the county, both in the draft and in volunteer enlistments. Some of these have returned safe and sound: more are maimed in a greater or less degree, and six, at least, gave their lives "to make the world safe for democracy." Rockland gave freely, ungrudgingly and without stint of time, money and her fairest youth. We gave willingly and uncomplainingly, but offer a prayer of thanksgiving when we think of Belgium and France, and close to this is another prayer that wars may cease for all generations and time to come, as at best war is all that Sherman said it was. MAY R. STEVENS. Editor's Note: Capt. Donnelly and the publisher of this book repeatedly urged the ladies of the Rockland Red Cross to furnish us with group pictures, but without avail. The publisher regrets that Rockland is not better represented with pictures of home war workers in this volume, but the fault lies with those who were unwilling to co-operate with us in this publication. VICTORIA RED CROSS GROUP Mesdames Mary Hackett, G. A. Braun, Geo. Alexander, Jas. Doyle, Richard Stevens, John Floyd, Wnm. Thomas, A. R. Penberthy, C. D. Hooper, John Frizell, George Hooper and Mr. DeLacy Clark. JUNIOR RED CROSS OF VICTORIA ONTONAGON BOY SCOUTS Blanket Made by Four Children Shown in Picture Pupils of Miss Hackett, Victoria "ON FLANDERS' FIELD." In 1 landers' Fields the poppies blow Betweeen the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amidst the guns below, We are the dead. Short days ago \We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, l.oved1 and were loved, and now we lie Iii Flanders' Fields. Fake up our quarrel with the foe! To you from falling hands, we throw The torch. Be yours to hold it high! If ve break faith with us who die \We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders' Fields. -By Lieut. Col. John M\cRae. The appeal that came from Flanders was not made in vain. America's answer to these heroes was "\e will carry on." This was our response: "AMERICA'S ANSWER." Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders (ead! The fight that you so bravely lead We've taken up. And we will keep True faith with you who lie asleep. With each a cross to mark his bed, And poppies blowing overhead, Where once his own life blood ran red; So let your rest be sweet and deep In Flanders' Fields. Iear not that you have died for naught, The torch ye threw to us we caught; Ten million hands will hold it high, And Freedom's light shall never die! W\e've learned the lesson that ye taught In Flanders' Fields. -By R. W. Lillard. THE AMERICAN'S CREED. I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy ill a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrified their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag and to defend it against all enemies. I IN APPRECIATION. To those who have assisted in the preparation of this work, wxe wish to express our grateful appreciation. We are especially grateful to Capt. Joe Donnelly, the gallant and courageous commander of the famous C; Company, who had charge of the work in the north end of the county, and we are indebted for faithful co-operation in the preparation of the book to WVm. N. McPhail, MIiss Florence Hughes, Miss Nellie Butts, Katherine Moll, Miss Isabell Hatfield and Miss Duina Bruno, Mr. Ostrander, the Ontonagon Druggist, who volunteered his services in taking pictures of many of the groups found in this volume. Our thanks are also due to C. D. Riley, R. G. Carr, James Corgan, Mrs. Dr. A.. Swinton, Mrs. Dr. WV. K. Porter, M-rs. May R. Stevens and Mrs. C. R. M\IcCormick for contributions. And finally, the author takes the privilege of thanking, on behalf of the soldiers and sailors of Ontonagon County, the people of the county through their Board of Supervisors, for making each soldier and sailor of the county a present of one of these books. Without the co-operation above mentioned the publication of this Memorial to our soldier heroes would have been a difficult and hazardous undertaking. D. A. KOOKER. I1 IL II I Pam Pk ot IM OM
