J. Abbett Smith Brothers, Inc. G. H. Goodrich E. P. Babcock Dr. F. L. S. Aldrich W. H. LaPlant Co. Thurston & Son John Palmer State Bank of Anoka Minneapolis. Anoka & Cuyuna R. Ry. Reed & Sherwood Mfg. Co. W. A. Blanchard Earle Brown B. T. Witte G. I. Gillespie O. A. Beckum PREFACE The somewhat formidable task of gathering the data for this history of the war activities of the men and women of Anoka County during the troubled times of the past four years or more, was undertaken toward the close of 1914. From the outset two things were kept in mind — that the glorious deeds of the soldier and sailor always live in the history of his country while the equally splendid self sacrifice of the civilian is usually speedily forgotten. Those who remained at home will, for the next generation, have countless oppor- tunities to read of the heroic deeds of our gallant men at arms, but the men who went to war will have but this one opportunity to know of the tasks so willingly done by those at home. And who is there to contend that the farmer who wrung from the soil the food which fed the soldiers, and did this in the face of an ever increasing shortage of farm labor, is less entitled to recognition than he who shouldered a rifle? Who will say that the merchant who gave his time and his money in order that our armies might be clothed and armed, was less patriotic than the man who sailed to Europe? The armies in the field and the armies at home combined to subdue the Hun and, in this history, credit is distributed equally between them. No one person could hope to compile such a book as this unaided. It is impos- sible to give acknowledgement to all who have helped, there being actually hundreds of them. Those who have helped to carry the financial burden of the undertaking are mentioned elsewhere, as are the members of the Anoka County War Records commission who helped to gather the pictures of the soldiers and their records in service. Beside these, thanks are due Provost Marshal General Enoch Crowder for special permission to use the records of the draft board. Adjutant General Walter F. Rhinow for the courtesy of the use of the records of his office in verifying service records, the members of the draft board for Anoka County for unfailing aid and helpful criticism, the Anoka County Union for very material aid in giving publicity to the book, the Bethel Banner for similar assistance, and the many men and women who h^ve been in charge of the numerous war activities for their aid in securing rosters, reports, etc. Every effort has been made to insure accuracy in this book. Time has not been spared to this end. It is hoped that no war activity of the county will be found to have been over- looked and that no name will be missing from any of the long lists, which should rightfully belong there. The pictures of some soldiers were unobtainable and some refused to permit the use of their likenesses, but a relative or friend of every soldier listed from this county was asked for a picture of him. Requests for civilians' pictures were made very sparingly and an attempt made to use only those of local men and women who have done noteworthy service in one way or another. It should be borne in mind that much of the work of some has been merely mentioned in the pages which follow and little of the arduous detail recounted, that no comment can be made upon the work of the local agents of the Department of Justice, of the secret service, and other organizations the purpose of which was to watch the disloyal, protect lives and property and stamp out sedition. The labors of these people are by no means over yet and to them will remain merely the satisfaction of having done their duty well. If readers of this history gain from it a better idea of what Anoka County has done, of her generosity, her militant loyalty, the bravery of her men in action, the fidelity of those who remained at home, then indeed will the writing of it have been worth while. ROE CHASE. Anoka, Minnesota, February 16, 1919. WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY For more than half a century the people of Anoka County have taken second place to none in point of allegiance to state and federal governments. The record of this part of the state in this res- pect is indeed a splendid one. From the moment of the out-break of the Civil war, when Aaron Greenwald enrolled his name as the first volunteei in America to answer the call of Abr.-.'ham Lincoln, to Martin Larson of Ham Lake tov.nship, who in November of 1914 was first of the men of Anoka County to heed humanity's call to aims in the defense of civilization, Anoka County men have proven themselves worthy of tne honor of American citizenship. It seems fitting, then, in spite of the fact that many others had already preceded them in the service of their country, that this history of the war activities of Anoka County dur- ing the period of the world war be opened with a tribute to the first company of vol- unteers ever recruited in this comm_unity. Late in 1862, Cap- tain John S. Cady or- ganized that unit which afterwards became Company "A" of the 8th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. The picture of this company was taken on the public square in the then village of Anoka not long after the company was organized. The com- pany saw service against the Indians and later on southern battlefields. The results of the example which these men furnished posterity were clearly seen during the brief Spanish-American war and in the mighty conflict which has recently been brought to a triumphant termination. A roster of the officers of old Company "A" and the men who made up the command at the time the picture was taken follows: Captain John S. Cady First Lieutenant Marcus Q. Butterfield Second Lieutenant Nathanial Tibbetts First Sergeant Martin V. Bean Gay, Walter D. Gilligan. John Greer, George \V. Hancock, Charles H. Harthorn, Isaac N. Heath, Alden B. Henderson.

Again in April of 1898, when President McKinley called for troops to fight the Spaniards and free our neighbor Cuba, Company "B" of the Third Minnesota Infantry responded from Anoka County and became a part of the 14th Regiment U. S. Volunteers. The picture of the non-commissioned officers was taken at Chickamauga Park in the summer of '98. This is a roster of Company "B" as published the day after the men left Anoka, April 29th, 1898: Captain George D. Bartlett First Lieiitenant Charles I. Cook Second Lieutenant Albert F.

Thompson Tennison Tigue Van Dake Wethern, George Wethern, John Wethern, Judd Watson Whidden Wing Webber Wherefore being neutral was something of a task for the people of Anoka County as early as August of 1914. In spite of the fact that official Washington had, by means of the movie screen, the newspapers, the magazines and by let- ter, requested that the people of Ameri- ca remain absolutely neutral in the matter of the difficulties which had arisen among the nations of Europe, it did not take the people of Anoka County very long to decide where their sympathies led them. This feeling is re- flected by the local papers published at that time. In striv- ing to be neutral, much of the editorial comment during the early months of the war seems, in the light of events which fol- lowed rapidly, to have leaned to the other extreme and to have been more or less fla- vored with sympathy with the enemies of civilization. That this was not th'e reall feeling either of the Anoka County press or of the great majority of the people of the county is evidenced by the cordial feeling of good will for France which was at all times expressed. As a matter of fact, public opinion in America was at that time in just about as muddled a con- dition. Reports which came from Europe, meagre as to facts and lurid as to adjectives, tended to confuse the minds of the people. It seemed next to impossible to realize that the trouble in the Balkans, which had been something of an annual event for many years, was really developing into a war which would in any way effect others than those directly interested. With most of the political divisions of the old world represented in the population of Anoka County, it was natural that it take some time for the people to digest the events which were hap- pening and to decide just how the right of the matter lay. Many people were helped to a prompt decision by the methods adopted by the invaders of Bel- gium. A few did not believe the reports of the activities of the invaders, believing them colored in transit to suit the tastes of the men who wrote, Corporal Cleator, Quartermaster Hickman, Corporal Webber, Corporal .Tudd Wethern, Corporal F. Hunter, Corporal Colwell, Corporal Parker, Sergeant Campbell, Corporal Mason, Sergeant Faber, Corporal Stevens, First Sergeant A. Wethern. censored, edited or published them. Still others felt that, whatever the facts, it was no concern of ours. Some even condoned these things and argued that modern warfare, if indulged in at all, must of necessity, be a very terrible thing, far worse than any in history for the very reason that modern warriors were better equipped to dis- troy. The perpetual ding-donging of "neutrality" added to the general confusion, and probably kept many people undecided in their own minds. The following editorial from the Anoka Herald of September 8th, 1914, is a fair sample of the sort of nonsense which was published in perfect good faith by the papers at that time: "President Wilson's advice to the people of the United States in regard to strict neutrality should be carefully followed. This country has declared its neutrality and this policy should be ob- served in the spirit as well as the letter. America has no in- terest in the big fight in Europe and must not become involved in it." The situation was helped none by the inability of the Ame- rican press corres- pondents, with the armies in France and Belgium , to verify any of the atrocities which were reported to have been committed by the advancing Ger- man armies. As late as the last week in September such sup- posedly reliable men as John T. McCut- cheon. James O'Don- nell Bennett, Irving S. Cobb, traveled throughtwenty towns in Belgium and France and reported to the newspapers which they represent- ed that they were unable to find any evidence of the alleged acts of barbarism upon the part of the in- vaders. In view of these things there is small wonder that the people of this community went about their usual affairs with little thought of the calamity which was befalling mankind. That there was a war in progress on the other side of the Atlantic was brought home to Anoka people lightly on August 1st, when the local flour mills received orders from Minneapolis office not to ship any more flour abroad. The reason given was that eastern bankers were unwilling to handle European drafts and the millers were un- willing to take the chances of shipment. Gradually, however, public sentiment, in this part of the state at least, began to crystallize and it began to be very generally agreed that Belgium had been the victim of an unscrupulous and heart- less tyrant. When the appeal was made on November 17th for cash contributions with which to buy flour to send to that sadly stricken country the response was prompt. Mayor T. J. Abbett received the con- tributions. IVITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUXTY 11 The following were among the first people in Anoka to contribute: S. P. Bellows Tohn Vader F. Thull and Crew A. F. Pratt J.

Green &: Son Meanwhile a number of Anoka women were giv- ing their spare time to knitting socks and makmg garments to send to the Belgian refugees who were homeless and destitute, within and behind the scenes of actual fighting. The first Anoka County young man to volunteer for service in the World war seems to have been Martin Larson of Ham Lake Township. If any Anoka County young man enlisted earlier for this purpose it has been impossible to verify the claim. Martin Larson went to Canada and enlisted under the name of Martin McCurdy at Winnipeg. He went overseas as a member of the Canadian Scot- tish troops with the first Canadian overseas con- tingent, was wounded in the knee at Ypres on June 13th, 1916, and was killed in action at Vimy Ridge, April 4th. 1917. The people were reading all that was being writ- ten about the great war by this time and were forming rather pronounced views on the situation. It was becoming more difficult for those who, for sundry reasons, favored the Central powers to find excuse for the barbarous methods which these powers employed. Many were still rather hazy as to the right of this country to sell war supplies to any belligerent that could come and get them and had the cash with which to pay. International law was some- thing that had not been dealt with very thoroughly in the schools of Anoka County. In March of 1915 there was considerable senti- ment favoring a reasonable preparedness in .America for whatever might develop. There were, of course, pacifists, those who felt that we were so separated from the actual scene of activities that any particular preparation upon our part was not only unnecessary but foolish. Other "we can lick the world" patriots argued that this country was so large, so prosperous, so well provided with the needful tools for waging war, or at least the power to make them, that we could as well continue about our business and leave Europe to its fate. And still others felt that this countrj^ would have to feed and finance all of the belligerent countries after the war and that we could best devote our spare time to preparing for this gigantic task. But all of this time there was a growing friend- liness toward the Allied powers. Outwardly neu- tral, perhaps, a great majority of the men and women of Anoka County were realizing something of what the war meant to America, to realize that it meant something more than an opportunity to sell vast quantities of horses and powder and food stuffs to people too busy in defending their homes and families to have the time to provide themselves with these things. Actuated by a spirit of adventure, possibly by a desire to see the world, maybe with a keener in- tuition of what the war was to mean to all of us. Anoka County young men began to seek opportuni- ties for actual service. With this country still striv- ing to be at least outwardly neutral, there seemed to be little chance for them. And yet Canada was not a great many miles away and some Canadian recruiting officers may have winked at incidents so trifling as an interna- tional border. At any rate Foster L. Staples enlisted at Cal- gary, Alberta, Canada on November 9th, 1915, in the 89th Canadian Battalion. He was rejected in April, 1916, but enlisted a second time in January, 1917 in the 2nd Canadian Tramway C.E. and sailed for Plngland on January 27th of that year. He reached England February 5th and evidently used his time to good advantage for he was in France in June and the following year, February, 1918, he was inarried to Miss Lillian Harden of Folkstone, Eng- land and in September, 1918 was cited for bravery in France. The feeling that the LTnited States was very poorly prepared to defend itself continued to grow. For some time there had been unusual activity along the Mexican border. Bandits from south of the Rio Grande had been pillaging at will on this side of that somewhat muddy and ill favored stream. When the time neared for Company "B" of the Third Regiment, Minnesota National Guard to ar- range for the annual encampment at Lake City in the summer of 1916, the officers of that company, on June 13th, published a special request that all em- ployers of men of the company make it possible that all the men of the unit go into camp that year for the full period of the encampment. To a ver}' general extent this was done and most of the men were ready to leave for camp on June 20th. But, on Sunday evening, June 18th, the President ordered the mobilization of the National Guard for duty on the iMexican border. Company B, under command of Captain Arthur A. Caswell, was ready to entrain the following evening. Earl P. Hyatt was first lieutenant and Louis Larson was second lieutenant. The roster of the company was as follows: SERGEANTS Freeland Sykes Ewald Peterson Keith P. Caswell CORPORALS DeWitte C. Dunham Clyde R. Joslyn John V. Harris ARTIFICER J. Harvey Larson John B.

Stearns Clayton Thurston George Veidt Milton Wethern Randolph T. Wethern CAPTAIN P. G. WOODWARD Francis B. Witte The company did not leave Anoka until the morning of June 26th. But in the meantime the town people were not idle. On Friday evening, June 23rd, there was an impromptu demonstration in honor of the members of the company. After guard mount at Bridge Square, the men, and as many of the friends and admirers who could crowd into the Green Theatre, gathered there for a reception. Past Department Commander of the G. A. R., P. G. Woodward, presided. Speeches were made by Mayor James B. Berry, Major Albert F. Pratt and by Arthur A. Caswell, recently promoted a Major. Refreshments and dancing followed at the armory. Finally on Monday morning, the 26th, at seven o'clock, seventy-six men marched to the depot under command of First Lieutenant Earl P. Hyatt, with First Lieutenant Edward B. Cutter and Second Lieutenant Louis Larson as the other two officers. Princeton and Milaca troops of the Third Regi- ment were on the same train. The regiment was to mobilize at Fort Snelling where it expected to remain until Thursday. The day that the unit left Anoka a fund was started for the use of the company. W. H. La- Plant was the first contributor to this fund with a check for one hundred dollars. On July 4th word was received in Anoka that Colonel F. E. Resche had reassigned the battalion commanders of the regiment. Major A. F. Pratt was given command of the first battalion, which included companies A, B, C and D; Major Arthur A. Caswell the second, in- cluding E, F, G and H; and Major Franklin W. Mattson of St. Paul, the third, which included the remaining com- panies of the regiment. With- in two weeks Colonel Resche was made a Brigadier Gen- eral, H. F. Eva was made Colonel of the regiment and Major Pratt was slated for promotion to Lieutenant- Colonel. Anoka was proud of her soldiers. The St. Cloud Journal Press paid a special tribute to Major A. A. Cas- well and his three patriotic sons, who were all ready for duty when the call for service came. Nor were the wives and mothers of these men forgotten in the ar- ticle referred to and much praise was given to them. The Third was the first regiment to leave for the border from Minnesota, it being found to be better trained, better officered and in better shape for service. Meanwhile W. H. LaPlant, W. A. Blanchard and Frank Hart, appointed by the mayor to gather the fund for the use of Company B, selected the fol- lowing to solicit these funds: ALBERT F. PRATT Frank L. Salter T. J. Abbett Mrs. A. L.

During the winter and spring of 1916, numerous addresses were given in Anoka which had for their theme either national preparedness or a better and saner brand of patriotism. On March 11th, Rev. M. D. Shutter lectured in the Universalist church on National Defense and an address was given on a similar topic before the Philolectian society. William Denny on January 4th was appointed to the membership committee of the National Navy league of the United States in the hope of promoting sentiment locally for more adequate national pre- paredness. On January 25th G. Schwartzman and M. Edelman were made a local committee to raise funds for the piirpose of sending aid to nine million homeless Jews in war devastated Europe. March 14th a display of military equipment in the show windows of the Wilcox-Thayer furniture store on Main Street, created interest. On August 1st the friends of Company B were noti- fied that the company was stationed at Llano Grande, Texas, and at the same time word was received that Major A. F. Pratt had been made a Lieutenant-Colonel. Major A. A. Caswell was as- signed to command the first battalion. The same day, Tuesday, August 1st, a large num- ber of people of Anoka gathered at the armory grounds to fill in the lot and grade and plant grass there. This had not been done when the local soldiers left for the south and it seemed a nice way of showing the town's appreciation of the company. Many men and teams succeeded in doing the entire task in the one afternoon and refresh- ments were served by the women of the community. Frank Hart had charge of the work. On August 8th a draft for $238.50 was sent to Com- pany B for the benefit of the men, by the commit- tee having the collection of this fund in charge. Lieutenant E. B. Cutter reached home from the Mexican border the last of August. ]\Iany relatives of the Anoka troops stationed on the Mexican border visited them there during the late summer and fall and frequent letters from the men were published in the local papers. About this time the Democratic party was striv- ing to re-elect President Wilson by means of the slogan "He kept us out of War." An amusing in- cident in this connection i-s ♦^he fact that, during the first four years of Wilso.i'" administration, more Americans had been killed in our forays into Mexico than were killed in the entire Spanish-American war. And yet many otherwise intelligent people applauded such a campaign slogan. About the middle of October Company B was stationed at "Champion's Store." Sergeant-Major James Colwell returned to Anoka the last of the month, his term of enlistment having expired. On December 6th the Third Regiment returned to Fort Snelling and the Anoka Commercial Club ar- ranged an excursion to that point in order that a number of the friends of the men might be there to meet them. The company arrived in Anoka on the evening of the 19th and the armory was filled with en- thusiastic people to welcome the members. There was an informal reception held, a six o'clock dinner served and dancing fol- lowed for the remainder of the evening. The members of J. S. Cady post of the G. A. R. and their ladies were on the reception committee. Music by the Green or- chestra and solos by Miss Dunn made up the program . During the winter there had been some talk of organizing an Anoka chapter of the American Red Cross . March 20th a meeting was called for the purpose, to be held at the Commercial Club rooms on the evening of March 27th. Major A. A. Caswell was one of the Minnesota National guard officers who went to Washington the last of March to attend a conference of mili- tary men. It was beginning to dawn upon the ad- ministration that the popular clamor for reasonable preparedness could no longer be denied. Neutral- ity, in view of events transpiring in Europe, could not much longer be tolerated. Delegates from the various precincts of the county, who assembled to organize a Chapter of the Red Cross in Anoka, imanimously favored the idea and Judge A. E. Giddings was elected temporary chair- man and Mrs. A. R. Woodmansee, secretary. At length the administration at Washington found that a state of war existed between this country and German}^ and, in a leisurely manner. Congress acquiesced. April 17th the following resolution was published: "Whereas it is the duty of every American citi- zen to give open evidence of his loyalty to his country and whereas this can best be done at this time by a display of our country's flag, "Be it resolved, by the Commission of the City of Anoka, that every citizen be and he hereby is, earnestly urged to display the flag at his place of business and at his residence. "Let this be done by every loyal citizen, so that the failure to display the national emblem may ARTHUR A. CASWELL 14 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY be taken as a token of disloyalty of the person failing to do so." Passed: April 14th, 1917. Approved: April 14th, 1917. Attest: Henry Lee, City Clerk. James B. Berry, Mayor." There appeared in the local papers on the same day the following advertisement: ^^ Wanted at Once ^^ 100 Volunteers Your Country Needs You Now.

Chance Remarks from the lips of the careless vk^ere reported as open sedition. Those of our citizens who hap- pened to be of German birth or parentage were viewed with open suspicion by many. But this chatter came to nothing as most of these people proved themselves indeed worthy of the land of their adoption and promptly declared, themselves out of sympathy with the ambitions of the Prussian war lords. The few who retained their pro-German inclinations either kept their pre- dilections very closely to themselves or were so carefully watched during the entire period of the war that they were able to accomplish no ill. The planting of war gardens in great numbers was undertaken and the patriotism of the community became evident in a number of ways. A patriotic rally, one of the first for which Anoka County was to later become widely known, was called for the Green Theatre on the evening of April 27th. PATRIOTISM!

II So large was the crowd which attended that a number could not even gain entry to the foyer. Judge Arthur E. Giddings presided and stated the purpose of the gathering. The University band was present and furnished the music. The High School chorus, led by Miss Carlotta Gilbert, added materially to the program with patriotic selections. The first speaker was Mrs. Cross, who discussed the needs of the Red Cross. She was followed by Rev. Shutter of Minneapolis, and he in turn by A. D. Wilson of the Farm school. Captain P. G. Woodward appeared next on the loyalty program and he was followed by Lieutenant- Colonel Albert F. Pratt, who gave an outline of the experiences of the local military company on the border the previous summer and fall. Resolutions asking for strict prohibition during the war were presented and unanimously adopted. Members of the Anoka Automobile club took the band to homes in Anoka where they were enter- tained and the Anoka electric line furnished a special car to transport the band to and from Minneapolis. About this time several Anoka County young men who were attending schools and colleges gave up their school work and secured places on farms where they could be of active service in raising the food stuffs so badly needed in this country and abroad. Willis Lawson was one of the first of these. ' George George invented an electrical device for protecting ships from submarine attack and sent it to Washington. Dr. G. K. Hagaman was appointed committeeman in charge of the local activ- ity of the Military Train- ing Camps association and began to examine candi- dates for the first officers' training school at Fort Snelling which was to open May 8th. A proclamation signed by the United States Marshal and Attorney for Minnesota was published, calling upon all enemy aliens to turn over to the sheriff all firearms, secret codes, wireless apparatus, etc., before April 24th. The Anoka Herald went on record in favor of conscription for military follows: DR. G. K. HAGAMAN service on May 1st, as "Some form of military conscription is the only feasible method of raising an army in this country. Under a volunteer system the patriotic would be permitted to do the fighting for the lazy, the un- patriotic and the indifferent. It is up to each man and woman in the country to do a full share and those who are able but unwilling to bear their share of the nation's burden should be made to do so." Oscar Ball, local wire chief of the telephone com- pany enlisted with the signal corps and was ordered to Fort Snelling on May 1. Paul Gillespie enlisted late in April for hospital duty. Raymond Galloway enlisted in the Q. M. Reserve Corps. Among the young men in training at Fort Snelling on May 15th. were George R. Blanchett and Harold D. Dinsmore. On May 14th was announced the appointment of Edgar J. Goodrich as Second Lieutenant of Co. "B." Arthur L. Reed volunteered for service with the engineers. WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY IS Harold H. Thurston volunteered for service with the engineers. Wheat was purchased at the local mill at this time at $3.10 a bushel. The cost of all sorts of food stufifs was climbing in a manner entirely unreason- able and nearly all other products were striving to keep pace with them. Since its organization the local Chapter of the Red Cross has been by no means idle. On May 22nd the following committees were announced for the year. FINANCE P. E. Woodward chairman L. J.

Newspapers be- came the targets for the greatest variety of long- winded communications in the history of the craft. It seemed that everybody had been able to devise a pet method of winning the war and all that re- mained was for the newspapers to furnish and fin- ance the space and permit he who would to tell just how it should all be done. During the week of May 22nd there appeared in the three newspapers of Anoka County, free publicity of this sort amount- ing in cost to the publishers about sixty-one dollars. For all purposes during the war, these three papers contributed space to the value of $v3,468.00, and, at that, refused to print probably nine-tenths of the twaddle presented for publication. The Public Safety Commission of Minnesota on May 16th appointed John Palmer county representa- tive of that organization in Anoka County. Mr. Palmer at once called a public meeting at the Arm- ory for the evening of May 31st and asked that all the towns in the county send delegates. Tuesday, May 29th, the .'\noka National Bank pub- lished the first Liberty Loan advertisement in Anoka County. It was a quarter of a page and was as shown at the left. It might be mentioned in passing that the above institution published and paid for fourteen other similar advertisements during the war, beside doing an immense amount of work in connection with selling the bonds, without pay other than the satis- faction of having helped in this way. Two other advertisements of interest were the following: Stadium Opening "Decoration Day evening, Wednesday, May ,iOth, Given by Company "B" 3rd Inf., Minnesota Na- tional Guard. "With 'B' on the Border" "The Stadium will officially open this year with the largest Military Tournament ever held in this section of the state.

Chase, deputy state auditor, brought to Anoka the state's check for $4,111.50 and turned it over to Captain Earl Hyatt to pay the members of Company "B" the special bonus of fifty cents a day voted them by the state legislature for their service on the border. Forty-eight men were paid sums ranging from $66 to $86.50 There were twenty-one men who had not at that time signed the payroll and these would swell the sum to $5,693.50. Announcement of registration day for the man power of the county was thus made in the papers on May 29th: "Next Tuesday will United States and all JOHN PALMER be registration day in the males over 21 years of age whose 31st birthday does not occur until June 5th or after, must register. "The registration booths in each precinct will be open from 7 a. m. until 9 p. m. and every man must attend whose age is within the limits required by law. "Failure to do so means a straight jail sentence without option of fine and subsequent registration anyhow. Sickness or ab- sence will not excuse any- one. "The slip given on regis- tration day must be kept as it may be required of you at any time by police officers, sheriff or other officials. "Slackers cannot escape. The easiest and best way will be to do ones duty promptly and carefully. "The following have charge of registration in the various precincts: City of Anoka, 1st ward, W. E. Bates; 2nd ward, Theodore Blanchett; 3rd ward, Leo Ward: Anoka, M. E. Dunn; Bethel, J. W. Cooper; Village of Bethel, C. E. Ledin, Jr.; Blaine, Axel O. Olson; Burns, Ole Hovind; Centerville, E. J.

Broad- bent; Oak Grove, J. B. Gallagher; Ramsey, F. H. Warneke. St. Francis, Robert E. Leathers." Only a few, possibly sixty or seventy people, gathered at the armory on the evening of May 31st to perfect a loyalty organization for ' the county. However, organization proceeded with snap and ginger from the start. John Palmer presided at the meeting. Lieutenant-Colonel A. F. Pratt was the first speaker and he explained the law creating the Public Safety Commission and urged the people to wake up and realize what was before them. A Professor Davis from the state university chat- tered a bit and G. D. Goodrich made a brief plea for the Red Cross. Articles of Association were then read and unani- mously adopted. John Pahner was elected president. Roe Chase, vice-president, Theodore Nelson, secretary, and George W. Green, treasurer. The next day the following precinct representa- tives were named: First ward. Dr. S. Bond, W. A. Blanchard, J. T. Dunn; Second ward, P. J. Nelson, N. P. Moberg, F. H. Koos; Third ward, John P. Coleman, J. B. Jesperson, C. S. Hosmer; Anoka, Stewart Laird; Village of Bethel, .

Ryberg; Grow, A. D. Street; Ham Lake, Oscar Hallberg; Linwood, Frank King; Oak Grove, Bert Simms; Ramsey, F. W. Warneke; St. Francis, Marshall Anderson; Col- umbia Heights, F. H. Morton. The local Chapter of the Red Cross was becoming active indeed, in the meantime. Headquarters had been established at the armory and attention given to the preparation of materials for "box number two" and for hospital supplies and comforts for members of the local guard company. A rural mem- bership committee was appointed with Mrs. Frank Beatty as chairman. The Girl's Athletic club gave fifty dollars to the local chapter, the firemen twenty- five and others were voting funds from lodges, churches, etc. Mrs. George Frauman turned in a membership collection of $147 as a result of her efforts in gaining members up to that time. The Yeoman lodge gave $25 for the buying of materials. From a loyalty meeting held a number of weeks before, $76.28 went into the Red Cross treasury. Supplies were offered by several local merchants at wholesale prices. Sewers and knitters who were willing to give a part of their time to this work were invited to report to Mrs. B. C. Smith, chairman of the committee in charge of military relief. Captain Earl P. Hyatt, Sergeant Fritz Peterson and Private Warren Bowers, v/ere on duty each day at the armory from 8:30 a. m. until 10:00 p. m., recruiting. Harry McGaffey, who was working in New Mexico, enlisted there, early in June. Of the 1,065 who registered on June 5th for military service, one in the first ward, one in the second and one in Columbia Heights, claimed ex- emption on account of legislative, executive or ju- dicial duties. Twenty-two persons in the county claimed that they were totally disabled. One of these was in the first ward, two in the third, one in the town of Anoka, three in Burns, one in Columbus, thirteen in Fridley, and fourteen in Columbia Heights Dependent rela- tives were claimed by 524, and 101 claimed exemption on other grounds. There were 405 who made not any sort of excuse and appeared ready to defend their coun- try when needed. There was but one colored regis- trant in the county and he did not claim exemption on any ground. Eighty-one aliens registered, nine enemy aliens, the latter being scattered, two in Blaine, one in Centerville, three in Fridley and three in Columbia Heights, brought the total registration for the entire county up to 1,156. Warren Parker enlisted in the cavalry. On the nineteenth of June the Local Red Cross announced the names of the men who would under- take to collect the first big county-wide contribu- tion to that organization. The drive committee was to be headed by Will A. Blanchard, chairman; J. B. Berry, secretary; T. J. Abbett, treasurer and assisted by Leeds H. Cutter and L. J. Greenwald. MRS. A. F.

But the committeemen were men who were willing to try it and the campaign started. A Red Cross war fund rally was held in Anoka at the Armory on Friday evening at which results were to be announced. Prior to this meeting, how- ever, meetings were to be held in churches and school houses over the entire county. A galaxy of local spellbinders was organized to present the plea of the Red Cross at each of these meetings and to put over the big drive if possible. Leeds H. Cutter, G. H. Goodrich, R. P. Chase, J. B. Berry, G. W. Green, C. L. Johnson, P. J. Nelson, Roe Chase, Fred Russell, W. A. Blanchard, Edgar Good- rich, W. J. Annon, A. E. Giddings, L. O. Jacob, L. J. Greenwald, E. B. Cutter, Bert Libby, Frank Hart, H. A. Logan, T. J. Abbett, J. P. Coleman, Rev. Wahlund, Rev. Drewett, Frank M. Nye were among the men who did this work. Several of them ad- dressed a meeting in some part of the county every evening of that week and several evenings of the next week into which the campaign had to be lengthened on account of heavy rains on two evenings. On June 26th these sums had been subscribed: First ward $2,300.00 Second ward 1,500.00 Third \\'ard 2,127.50 Anoka 627.50 Burns 970.00 Bethel Village 300.00 Bethel not reported Columbus 528.00 Centerville 600.00 Ham Lake 315.00 Grow Ramsey Fridley Columbia Heights. St. Francis Linwood Oak Grove Blaine 265.00 600.00 478.00 938.00 724.00 540.00 775-00 425.00 Total $14,013.00 Many interesting incidents occured during the campaign for funds. To some the work of the Red Cross was little known, others thought that joining or contributing to that organization bound one to go to France when needed and actually do Red Cross work there. In some localities the work was hampered by idle rumors set adrift by pro-germanly inclined in- dividuals. Enthusiasm ran high in many places. Early in the week some towns set the pace by splendid meet- ings and generous contributions. At the meeting at the club house at the village of Cedar in the town of Oak Grove there was a big crowd present on the night of the second meeting, it having rained on the date first set. In an hour $512.10 was pledged. A little five-year-old girl contributed the dime. At a German picnic in the vicinity of Twin Lakes in Burns township, a hundred dollars was pledged one evening. At Nowthen $720 was pledged the same night in the same township. In reply to a telegram from Washington as to how the campaign was progressing here, this reply was sent: "Daniel Reed, Sec. War Council. "City and County of Anoka actively on the war path. Will raise more than amount apportioned to us. Chairman, Red Cross, Anoka, Minn." Minnesota's allotment was two millions and Anoka's allotment was fourteen thousand dollars. Both finally went away over the top. That same week the Military Relief committee received $10 from the Degree of Honor Lodge, $10 from the Catholic Women's Guild and $5 from the Universalist Ladies' Aid. Thirty dollars was sent in from a social event at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Jackson. Friday evening, June 16th, a detail from Company "B" went to St. Francis by automobile to look for recruits. The St. Francis band furnish- ed a delightful musi- cal program. Bazil Hunter, an old mem- ^^_ .^_^- ^^ her of the company, HHi '^' ^ presided at the meet- """" ing. There were short talks by Lieutenant E. B. Cutter, Lieu- tenant Edgar Good- rich, Frank Hart and G. H. Goodrich. Three recruits enlist- ed at this meeting, Guy J. Moulton, Rey- nold E. Engstrom and John R. Tharp. Ed- win S. Lane of Now- then, Frank H. Roundville, Daniel L. U. .s, ruATT Eden, William Loftus also enlisted that same week, and Sergeant Freeland R. Sykes rcenlistcd, his term of enlistment having ex- pired. The first death of a Canadian soldier in France to bring the horror of war home to Anoka County, was probably that of Lieutenant Peter A. Brennan, formerly of Elk River. Fie was in western Canada at the outbreak of the war and enlisted in the 67th Canadian Pioneer Battalion at Winnipeg. He won his commission in May and was killed in action in June. A sister of his resided in Anoka and he had many friends here. The next week Axel Sward, Floyd Appelman, Werner Lundgren, Carl Lundgren. Russell Weaver, 20 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY C. S. Blaisdell, Will Summerfelt, George H. John- son, John M. Shaw, Alfred Erickson, John Whipple and L,eon Chamberlain enlisted with the local com- pany. Announcement was made on July 3rd, that Sheriff U. S. Pratt, Theodore A. E. Nelson and Dr. A. T. Caine had been appointed members of the local draft board. The Red Cross asked for a supply of feather pil- lows 15x18 in size with which to equip the local company. The response was prompt and each man was soon furnished with one. One half of the proceeds from the celebration of In- dependence day at Cedar was given to the Red Cross. Recipes for canning foods and saving sugar be- gan to appear in the news- papers. The shortage of sugar was being noted in the offing. But few im- agined that this shortage would become so acute within a year that sugar would be served one in tiny envelopes at hotels and that one would have to do THEODORE A. E. NELSON with two pounds a month for a season. Ralph E. Sheley enlisted in a forestry regiment soon to be sent overseas. Demonstrations in can- ning fruits and vegetables were arranged for all parts of the county during July and were well attended. July 6th a benefit entertainment was arranged at the Constance school house, Mrs. T. A. Thompson act- ing as chairman. Judge Giddings, Lieutenant Good- rich, Mrs. B. C. Smith, Mrs. Frank Beatty and Mrs. T. J. Abbett were on the program for short talks along the lines of the various activities of the Red Cross. A quartette consisting of Messers. P. G. Wood- ward, O. A. Beckum and Mesdames Lane and Van Vliet furnished the music. The next week an enthu- j siastic meeting was held at Bethel. Captain Wood, ward, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Giddings, L. O. Jacob, Mrs. Beatty, Mr. and Mrs. B. C. [Smith, Mrs. A. R. Wood- ma nsee. Miss Florence Mes- I senger and Miss Mary Houston made the drive to that village to assist at the [ meeting. For the convenience of I those interested in the re- gistration of June 5th, the Herald published first an official list sent immediately after that date, then on 'July 19th the official list with the number drawn by each man and his ad- dress, then again on July 24th the entire list over again following the drawing of the draft numbers at Washington on July 20th, and yet again on July 31st when the official sequence of figures had been received by the local draft board from Washington. The Anoka Union published a complete list of serial numbers in the order drawn.

The ringing of the fire bell, the blowing of whistles and the general excitement on Sunday morning, July 15th, indicated that the members of Company "B" were being sworn into the service of the United States. Out of town members of the company came to town by automobile, electric train, horse and buggy and on foot. From St. Francis came a gaily decor- ated truck bringing the soldiers from that vicinity. With them came friends to cheer them on their way. ^ The Sabbath stillness was more or less disturbed during the day. At the Congregational church the next Sunday there was a service to which members of the com- pany were invited. To the People of Anoka County: Whereas, Co. "B" is about to leave for the battle- field, it would be very appropriate, that the citizens of Anoka County would show their appreciation to them by presenting them with a little purse. In most cities and counties there is a company about to leave for the French battlefield, a liberal subscription has been given them. We all know that this county subscribed very liberally toward the Red Cross fund. As the Red Cross money will go to the general army as a whole, not a cent has been subscribed for our Company. Our intention is not to go and see you personally, we ask you to make your own gift. If every man, woman and child in this county would only give ten cents each we would raise about $1,500, which would be a very nice gift. You certainly can deny yourself some- thing for one week or a month to apply on the fund, whereby our boys may not be denied the luxuries for months and maybe years in the trenches. This money so subscribed will be used for the boys as may be necessary. It may be that some- BANQUET GIVEN TO THE OFFICERS AND MEN OF CO. B. 3RD M. N. G. On Friday evening, August 27th, a public fare- well was given to the members of the company at the Stadium. The feed which was provided was memorable both in point of quality and quantity, Anoka's best cooks vied with one another to make the feast something which each soldier might recall with great gustatory gladness as he subsisted upon hardtack and cofifee along the Rio Grande, the Rhine or wherever else Uncle Sam might have need of his services. Mrs. T. A. Thompson gave a pleasing talk and Judge Giddings made a few remarks. The men of the company had been invited to bring their ladies to the feast and more than five hundred people par- took. Later in the evening there was a reception and a farewell dance at the Armory which was attended by more than three hundred couples. The Green Theatre management offered a benefit performance for the increasing of the Company "B" fund. The secretary of the Red Cross Chapter announced that she would be at the Red Cross office in Wood- ward's store each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoon from 1:30 to 3:00 to look after the afifairs of the Chapter. At this time it occured to several that Company "B" personal comfort fund should be very sub- stantially replenished. This announcement in the local papers promptly opened the purse strings generously: one will be in need of some extra medical care which they may be unable to receive unless they have money to pay for it, or something else un- beknown to us at this time, and we will ask you to give as liberally as you can. You may leave your subscriptions at any of the following places most convenient to you: In the City of Anoka: McLean's grocery. Palmer's grocery, Turnquist gro- cery and Goodrich drug store. Nowthen: Paulson's store. St. Francis: Leather's store. Village of Bethel: W. C. Smith Lumber office. Cedar: John- son Bros.' store. Linwood: Frank King. Coon Creek: M. E. Dunn store. Fridley: J. B. Ryberg store. Centerville, Joe LaMotte's store. ■ This money should be subscribed before August 10th. The Company will be asked by a vote to designate a committee to handle this money. John Palmer, County Director Public Safety. Before leaving for Camp Cody the members and friends of Company "B" raised a fund of about $1,300.00. A list of the contributors is not available. This money was deposited in an Anoka bank and checked against as needed. When Company "B" was transferred to an artillery brigade and the men scattered to some extent, Lieutenant E. B. Cutter transferred the fund to the custody of three Anoka men, Messrs. W. A. Blanchard, G. H. Goodrich and T. J. Abbett. The fund at present amounts to $1,184.00 and no disposition has been made of it. 28 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY With the exception of the men who had served on the Mexican border during the recent trouble there, very few people knew much about the life of a soldier. Veterans of the Spanish-American war in 1898 and of the Civil war had recounted terrible tales of suffering in camp and probably many a sleepless night, thinking of what might be- fall their sons, brothers and husbands, was spent by the people of Anoka County. For this reason such cheerful and glowing letters as the following, written by Malcolm B. Lurton, a former Anoka young man who had enlisted for service in the Medical Department of the regular army and was stationed at Jefiferson Barracks, Missouri, were read with interest when published: "An enlisted man is first carefully examined by the recruiting officer, then sent by the first train to some central examining station like Duluth, then to Jefferson Barracks for outfitting. Here he is again rigidly examined, given the federal oath, and his outfit. This consists of a kahki uniform, two pairs of shoes, underwear, hat, belt, razor, stock- ings, comb, toothbrush, "housewife" of useful ar- ticles, etc. The shoes are about two sizes larger than those he wore in civil life. He is required to send home his "cits," i. e. citizen's clothing. A rookie is never allowed to wear anything except his uniform. The army makes a man proud of his appearance, then when he gets this idea, he is bound to be efficient. The army idea is to make real men, AND THEY DO IT. "The recruit is vaccinated for smallpox and ty- phoid, being given two 'shots' of each serum. They are kept in quarantine for fourteen days to protect others against germs brought from civil life. They are stripped and examined almost daily to protect their health. One hundred per cent healthy is the army ideal. "While at the Barracks, drills are begun and the rookie gotten into condition to appreciate army standards and ideals. Discipline is stern — an of- ficer's word is absolute law here. "The army will make an obedient man, believe me. A man learns to take care of himself. I'm brown and lean and hard as a wire. One has to be careful not to talk too much. There are good boys and bad ones, all here together. There are more Poles, Finns and Italians here than you would suppose. Our bunch has mechanics, traveling men, chauffeurs, farmers, barbers and college men. The army is a great melting pot. It is a strange and fascinating life. I like it. "The day's work: We have to be in bed and quiet by ten o'clock and up at about 5:10 to dress for reveille, get breakfast and be ready for drill by 8:30. In the spare time we pick up all paper, cigarette butts, etc., and carry it away. Drill lasts till ten, then the day is ours till 11:30, when we get our tin plate, cup, knife, fork, and spoon, and line up for dinner, which today was a piece of bread, a dab of potato, stew, and cold water. We wash our dishes and go back to our tents to wait for orders, so you see the day is real here, and not as it used to be at home when I could sleep till noon. Our work keeps us interested and busy. I'm lance corporal now and am to get a book on drills and anatomy. I receive lectures once a day after which I come back and lecture to my squad on what I have learned. We receive two and a half hours of physical training, drill, crouching, marching, running, jumping, calesthenics, etc., daily, and it sure gives one an awful appetite. Yesterday I was on guard two hours out of every six. "At first the food seems insufficient; recruits miss the delicacies of home. When I long for home, and I'm ashamed to say it, about the first thought is for home cooking. The ration is scientific and sufficient, consisting of potatoes (spuds), bread (punk), bacon (horse), coffee (Java), stew, etc. Just the necessities and no more. The soldier boys sup- plement this with ice cream, pies, etc., bought at the company canteen or store, the profits of which go into the camp fund for special purposes. "There is ample provision for amusement in spare time. Absolutely no drinking or vice is tolerated. The morals of the boys are safeguarded in every way. The Y. M. C. A. and the army, co-operating, provide buildings with writing materials, piano, playing cards, checkers, pool tables, boxing gloves, phonograph, punching l)ag and reading matter. The other day some magazines were given the boys. I drew a 1894 McClure. Just think of it, printed a year before I was born. "Discipline and training has the unit. A squad consists of seven men and a lance corporal. I'm the lance corporal and am responsible for my seven 'buddies.' " To his mother he gives the keynote of all patriotic boys in the army: "You must keep up your cour- age, because I COULD NOT DO LESS than enlist, and I know I'm in the best branch of the service, and you are too loyal to the United States to be- grudge me, I know. "I'm thankful here that I was brought up at home to be a God-fearing, cheat-hating, upstanding man." The Constance Ladies Aid society had a very interesting meeting at the home of Mrs. Robert Swanson. The afternoon was given over to the discussion of Red Cross relief work, Mrs. Beatty, Mrs. B. C. Smith, Mrs. A. E. Giddings, Mrs. I. A. Cas- well and Mrs. Goss of the Anoka Red Cross chap- ter were present, and assisted in the meeting. The Aid donated $5 for the buying of supplies. About this time there happened an event at New Ulm, Minnesota which possibly, more than any other one thing, helped to awaken the people of loyal communities and the loyal people in all com- munities to the grave menace of pro-germanism which slunk about in the state. A public meeting was held there in which the draft, the war, this country's participation therein, were all roundly condemned. The meeting was widely reported. Instantly the state press took up the matter and flayed the disloyal people of that misguided community in no uncertain terms. The following is a sample of what one of the Anoka papers had to say about it: "New Ulm, Minnesota again figures unpleasantly in the press reports. "Pioneers of Minnesota will recall that New Ulm was settled by 'Free Thinkers' and Atheists of German birth. They will also recall that an effigy of Christ was burned there in the early days of the town's existence, in order to prove to the world that the people of that community did not believe in churches or religion. As a matter of fact, it is generally conceded as an historic truth that the town was first built with the understanding that no ministers of the gospel be permitted there. "Not long after the burning of Christ in effigy by the people there, that section was visited by one of the most terrible Indian massacres in the history of the country. Many people at that time felt that the awful Indian outbreak was but a punishment visited upon the people for their blasphemy. "New Ulm has always seemed to be wrong — not all of the people, for there are fine people there — but enough in order to make the village an unpleas- ant odor in the nostrils of loyal. God-fearing people. "The town's most recent, traitorous action should be promptly and vigorously punished. Let's have no foolishness about this loyalty business. Unless the people of New Ulm, and elsewhere as well, are WITH THE COLORS FROM AXOKA COUXTY 29 loyal to America, they are disloyal. There is no half-way ground and traitors deserve and should meet but one fate. "The time to act, also, is NOW, not later." Mrs. Frank L. Salter was appointed the County Chairman of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Minne- sota Public Safety Commission and Woman's Coun- cil of National Defense. First Lieutenant Edward B. Cutter was notified that he had been detailed for duty with Company "G" of Princeton and Lieutenant Claude Morton of that company was detailed for duty with Company "B." About midnight, Friday evening, August 27th, the members of the local company which was quartered at the armory, put on a midnight frolic on Main Street to indicate to the mosquitoes and hot weath- er that these discomforts meant nothing to them. On August 5th word was received that recruiting must be done only among men between 18 and 21 and between 31 and 45, those between 21 and 31 being subject to the draft. iVlajor A. A. Caswell re- turned early in August from two months of intensive MRS. FRANK L. SALTER training at Fort Sill, Okla- homa, and became senior instructing officer for the regiment in the newest forms of waging war. During this time the local draft board had not been idle. August 3rd the board met in the court room in the county court house to select the twenty-nine young men that were to make up this countj^'s first quota under the conscription law. Fifty-eight were called for examination, half to appear Friday and half Saturday. The men were given a thorough physical examina- tion by Dr. Caine and the following results were obtained.

Beasecker of the Beasecker Manufacturing Co., who undertook to manufacture five thousand ambulance harnesses for the government and deliver them by the middle of the following April. Since it occured, the disgraceful New Ulm anti- draft meeting had been a matter of animated dis- cussion in Anoka. Finally it was decided that some town in the state should stage a monster loyalty meeting which might help to wipe the New Ulm blemish from the record of Minnesota. 30 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY This was done on Sunday, August 12th. "Anoka's reply to New Ulm" has since become historic in this state. It was the first big loyalty rally in the state, was reported far and wide, and, as a matter of fact a letter was received in Anoka months later telling that news of the meeting had reached men in the trenches in France who happened to hail from Minnesota. The meeting was a typical Anoka gathering. Peo- ple came for miles and packed the huge armory to the very doors. Had the weather been at all favorable the Stadium could not have held one-half the crowd. And all this was done with but three days' preparation and very little advertising except a few dodgers circulated by the men of Company "B" and a few other volunteers. It was held Sunday afternoon as that seemed to be a particularly fitting day on which to re-dedicate the people of the community to the defense of home and country. Raymond P. Chase presided at the meeting. Father Dolphin offered the invocation and the sin- cere applause which followed seemed very fitting in view of the fervent patriotism and lofty spirit which was so evident in the prayer. Mayor James B. Berry briefly but warmly wel- comed the people to Anoka and voiced the patriotism of the city . Will A . Blanch- ard represented the county in seconding the welcome and paid eloquent tribute to the local militia compa- ny. Senator George H. Sulli- ...<_^ van, who had come from i "^B^UJI^ Stillwater to participate in ^^^L 1 M^^^ the program, gave a splen- ^^^^^^ A.'^^Hfel '^^^ patriotic address fre- ^^^^^^^ S^ ^^^^1 quently punctuated by ap- ^^^^^^^^fl^ ^^^^1 plause ^^^^^^^HH^^^^^H President Marion L. Bur- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^H ton the State University, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ enlivened the afternoon program with an eloquent address, Ex-Governor S. R. VanSant, an old soldier, made the closing speech of the day. The Third Regiment band of Duluth was present and delighted all who heard it. The meeting closed with the national anthem, the great audience stand- ing and cheering. Rev. Fred Drewett pronounced the benediction. Beside residents of Anoka County, people at- tended from the Twin Cities and from Hennepin, Washington, Chisago, Isanti, Sherburne and Mille Lacs Counties. This, in part, is what the Minneapolis Tribune had to say about the meeting: "Anoka is a New England town. It was founded by the lumbermen whose grandfathers were minute men and fired the shots which echoed around the world for American liberty in 1776. It has kept its traditions. It has kept its fidelity and kept its loyalty. Its indignation at what it deems a demon- stration in Minnesota, contradictory of its glorious records in the Civil war, has crystallized into definite expression. It feels that the time has come for the great body of loyalists who populate this state to come out with a public demonstration of their sentiments, not only to let its sister states know that its heart is in the right place, but to start a backfire of sentiment against the conflagration of sedition and treachery which cunning hands are kindling elsewhere." RAYMOND P. CHASE Ex-Governor VanSant said: "I like Anoka be- cause it is so different from New Ulm." Senator George H. Sullivan said: "When I heard about this meeting to be held vin Anoka, I said, 'thank God for Anoka, first in the war of the Re- bellion, she is now first to give her answer to the hiss of the copperheads at New Ulm.' " Minneapolis Journal: "Anoka today stands as one of the first cities in Minnesota to let the world know its loyalty and patriotism grow firmer as the war progresses." St. Paul Dispatch: "Anoka, in enunciating a thunderous answer to copperheadism in another part of the state, has struck a telling blow in behalf of Americanism which history will honor." St. Paul Daily News: "'Anoka's reply to New Ulm' was voiced at one of the most enthusiastic loyalty meetings ever held in Minnesota." St. Cloud Journal Press: "Anoka has sent to the front a company of the National Guards. They come of fighting stock. In the Civil war the first man to volunteer at the call of Abraham Lincoln was an Anoka man (the late Aron Greenwald) and it furnished a company of the old Minnesota First, and had men in most of the other Minnesota companies. And now Anoka has made the best possible answer to New Ulm." Cambridge Independent Press: "When it comes to real loyalty our Anoka County neighbors can't be beat." Princeton Union: "Anoka County again demon- strated its loyalty last Sunday at an enthusiastic patriotic meeting." Wadena Pioneer Journal: "Anoka people are loyal and they don't care if the kaiser knows about it. They held an immense patriotic meeting Sunday and the speeches must have made Wilhelm's ears burn." St. Paul Pioneer Press: "The small hyphenate meeting at New Ulm little knew what it was bring- ing to pass nor what a powerful blow it was dealing in behalf of the forces of loyalty in Minnesota. From it sprang the Anoka meeting whose thunder was heard throughout the state." Greenbush Tribune: "Anoka had a great cele- bration Sunday, but it was a decided contrast to the New Ulm meeting. The Anokaites were not afraid to show that they are for America first, last and all the time and don't propose to hinder Uncle Sam in the great task which he has undertaken." Anoka County Union: "Anoka is on the map, and its position is not marked with a blot. Uncle Sam can find encouragement in the attitude and what is more than attitude, the record of the little city on the Rum." Practically every newspaper in the state ran a story of the meeting and complimented Anoka County's militant loyalty. After careful consideration, the following dispo- sition of the cases of the first twenty-nine men called under the draft was made public on August 14th: Discharged as physically unfit for military service — 258 Lyons, John Arthur, Cedar, Minn. 337 Hodak, Michall, R. 3, Anoka, Minn. 945 Shaw, Amos James, Bethel, Minn. 692 Palm, Erick Albion, Constance, Minn. 8io Bodine, Vernal George, Cedar, Minn.

The energetic and loyal women of the city con- tinued to increase the scope of their activities. With Mrs. A. E. Giddings as chairman and Mrs. George Hilliard, Mrs. L. J. Greenwald and Mrs. Clarence Greenfield as ward vice-presidents, a committee of women canvassed the entire town to organize the women for active Red Cross work or any other possible avenue of usefulness. Something distinctly novel in the way of picnics took place on August 11th. This was a Political- Loyalty Picnic. Saturday afternoon an automobile party of be- tween 100 and 200 Minneapolis politicians drove out to Crooked Lake to enjoy a picnic dinner. The dinner was splendid. The men had brought a de- licious repast with them and served it themselves under the direction of Mr. Ferren, master of cere- monies. During the meal James F. Gould called the meet- ing to order and suggested that Warren Williams take the chair. Mr. Williams proved a very happy choice as toastmaster. The first speaker was Alderman J. H. Chase of Minneapolis, who spoke on political conditions tbere. Judge Giddings welcomed the visitors to Anoka and gave a rousing loyalty talk which was heartily cheered by his auditors. The loyalty keynote struck by Judge Giddings was followed by Col. Pratt of Anoka and J. A. O. Preus, State Auditor. J. A. O. PREUS L. A. Lyliard, Judge Keen and Edgar L. Noyes spoke for Minneapolis and the meeting was one of the most pleasant loyalty rallies imaiginable. Among the Anoka guests of the Minneapolis men were Judge Giddings, Col. Pratt, Major Caswell, Frank Hart, Judge Cutter, R. P. Chase, while J. A. O. Preus, state auditor, L A. Caswell, clerk of the supreme court, Sam Y. Gordon, state printer, Charles H. Moos and Vance Chapman drove up from the capital for the occasion. While this picnic was in progress. Matt S. J. 0ms- land, employed at a local factory, became engaged in a heated discussion and was reported to have uttered seditious remarks. The matter was reported at the armory and Lieutenant Ed- gar Goodrich was detailed with a squad of men to round him into the local bastile. This was speedily done and he was allowed to ponder the situation over until Tuesday morning. From his cell window he could see armed guards placed to keep him in cus- tody in case any of his ilk might feel inclined to try to release him. Judge P. J. Nelson found him guilty but contrite, and fined him ninety days. Upon his pledge to be extremely careful in his conversation, if not in- wardly patriotic in the future, the sentence was suspended. Probably the unattractive condition of the local jail at that particular time may have helped to convince him that it was more comfortable to be right than wrong. At a meeting of the Automobile club on the evening of August 14th, John Palmer and Sheriff U. S. Pratt presented the matter of the organiza- tion of an automobile posse of armed citizens to deal with any local disorder which might arise. All present were interested in the idea and all agreed to it. A formal organization plan was drawn up and circulated about town by a number of men for several weeks until many were enrolled. County Director John Palmer of the Anoka County Public Safety association appointed a Mar- ket and Produce Committee to co-operate with a similar committee from the Twin Cities. The ob- ject was to create a direct market for excess Anoka County farm products and to seek to avoid the con- fusion and excess profits of the unreasonably in- clined middlemen. The committee was made up of A. D. W. Johnson of Anoka, Robert Leathers of St. Francis, George Wyatt of Bethel and Johnson Bro- thers of Cedar. Something of an idea of the spirit of this time, as America was marshalling her mighty hosts to the colors, may be gained from the following edi- torial selected at random from among the many being published: WHERE ARE YOU? It's war time, possibly, more than any other which applies the acid test to the souls of men. It is the time when one's country is assailed which separates the real men from the sham and shows up the stuff from which we are made. In America right now there is being winnowed the grain from the chaff. The real men are stepping forward eagerly seeking an opportunity to serve their country. These sterling folk are drilling under the hot summer sun in training camps, volunteering 32 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY for all sorts of service and giving the best that is within them to the service of their countrj^. True patriotism is a living flame in the hearts of each of these. The great conscription army is slowly, too slowly indeed, being formed. The young men of the coun- try are answering the call to the colors by the thousands. And yet this is expected of them. It is no more than their simple duty. On the other hand it must be noted with regret that many thousands are just as eagerly seeking a loop hole by which to escape the service which America demands of them. This must ever be to them a lasting disgrace. Innumerable schemes are being invented by these dodgers in order to gain exemption. Some fast, some mutilate themselves, some put forth the most laughable reasons under which they claim immunity from service. It seems to us that the government should pro- vide two badges for the men it has called to the colors — one a medal of honor for those willing to do their part and the other a white feather for those who seek to evade their duty — the first a treasure to place among the family archives and the second that these slackers may receive the public contempt which they so thoroughly merit. Any man that can honestly prove that he should be exempted, needs fear no public censure, but surely so many thousands who are claiming it can- not be so vitally important to their families as they seem to think. From this distressing situation let us turn for a moment to some of the more worthy actions which are daily occurring over the country. For example, John Lampas, a native of Greece but now an American citizen, went to the head- quarters of the Red Cross in San Francisco the other day and gave it his automobile, his gold watch, $25 in money and a check for over $500 — all his savings — and then walked to a recruiting station and enlisted. Someone suggested to Nathan Gendler, born in Russia, of Jewish parentage, now living in Minne- sota, that he would do well to dispose of a quantity of scrap iron in his possession before the govern- ment took it over at its own price. He replied: "If the government wants that scrap iron it can have it and I will load it on the cars. I have two or three carloads of auto tires and it can have them too. I have a little money in the bank and that is at the disposal of the government." Gendler ac- knowledges that he owes everything he has to the country of his adoption and he is not lacking in gratitude. Secretary of War Baker the other day received from one Samuel Sanjines, a Spaniard who lives in New Orleans, this message: "You drew my num- ber first and although I am not an American citizen, but a Spaniard, and have never applied for natural- ization papers, to be the first one drawn I consider such an honor that I beg to offer you my services to fight the war for freedom and democracy thrust on this great nation." It's this sort of spirit which will be the salvation of our country. It is this sort of pure patriotism which has swept from coast to coast and is cement- ing our people into a mighty, united nation, deter- mined that the great war must end soon, and that, when it does end, justice and right shall prevail and nations shall never again offer up their trea- sures in so senseless a manner. Think carefully, young man, before you select the course which you intend to take. There are two distinct camps in your country today. There is one where treason lifts its adder's head, where anarchy, socialism, anti-Americanism, Prussianism and despotism dwell. There you will become the companion of the unfit, the disloyal, and all of those in whom the love of freedom is dead. Under the other banner breathes the spirit of Washington, of Lincoln, and of all that great army of the past which has fought, suffered and died that you may enjoy the blessings of a free country. Between these camps lies "no man's land." There you can't abide. Choose.

Word was received by the friends of the following young men that they had received their commis- sions: Leonard B. Allison in the Artillery, George E. Blanchette in the Quartermaster's Corps, Harold D. Dinsmore in the Infantry, and Roy Hall in the Quartermaster's Corps. It was August of 1917 that Raymond P. Chase organized the Loyalty Lyceum. This was another Anoka idea for the taking of the gospel of loyalty to the near-Prussians who might chance to inhabit any of the communities of the state. These Anoka people agreed to go anywhere in the state when called upon to deliver loyalty talks at any sort of public meetings: Will A. Blanchard, I. A. Caswell, John P. Cole- man, Roe Chase, Judge Giddings, P. J. Nelson, C. L. Johnson, Leeds H. Cutter, Rev. Oliver Dolphin, R. P. Chase. Monday, August 27th was a day of pride and tears in the county of Anoka. Company "B" started on the long and tedious way to France. One hundred and thirty-eight officers and men were bidden good- bye. WITH THE COLORS FROM AXOKA COUXTY 33 COMPANY B, 3RD liXF. M. N. G.

They were not only from all over Anoka County, but from Cambridge, Elk River, Princeton and the Twin Cities. The Elk River and Anoka bands gave a number of piatriotic selections. Company "G" of Princeton marched down from the depot and was given a rous- ing reception. The J. S. Cady Post was present. Every store in .^noka was closed for the afternoon- — in fact everybody strove to do honor to the boys in khaki. When the time arrived to leave, the old soldiers led the procession in automobiles. They were fol- lowed by the Anoka and Elk River bands, the two militar\' companies and hundreds of people. At the depots the throng was even larger where more hun- dreds of people had gathered to say goodbye. There were not many dry eyes in the crowd when the train left and it was subdued and thoughtful people that slowly departed for their homes. The lirst of September Misses .Marjorie McCarthy and Agnes Ward started a subscription list to secure funds with which to buy an army phonograph to send to Company "B." At a dollar d person the re- quired amount was soon raised. As Company "B" soon was transferred to other units the phonograph was not purchased and the money is still in the bank. The "Bethel and Linwood Safety Guard" was or- ganized and began to drill each Monday night at The Linwood Grange Hall. C. .\. Carlisle was sec- retary of the organization. On September 4th the lirst lists of drafted men, certified back to the local board for service, were received. The men were directed to keep in touch 34 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY with the board in the expectation of being ordered to cantonments at any time. So many men had entered service from this section that it was not thought that many would be called from Anoka county to fill Minnesota's first quota. The first men certified were: 783. Hathisen, Walter Henry, Stacy, Minn. 275. Tackmann, Arthur Harrison, Cedar, Minn. 564. Altenburger, Joseph, R. 3, Forest Lake, Minn. 536. Barott Walter Scott, R. 3, Forest Lake, Minn. 126.

The electric line passes his home and passengers early in Sep- tember noted, on a hillside, a large American eagle, done in colored stone, perched upon the American coat of arms with the inscription "The Stars and Stripes Forever." Letters began to reach home from the men who had gone to Camp Cody telling of the arrival of the troops there and of how they were situated. Army censorship was beginning to tighten up somewhat at that time but here are excerpts from two: "Company B, Third Minnesota Infantry, reached their destination at Camp Cody, Deming, New Mexico, Friday afternoon, August 31st, at 4:30 o'clock. The men reached Deming after one of the most delightful trips ever experienced by even the hard- ened troopers of the Llano Grande campaign. Not a single case of sickness or an accident while enroute. B Company, traveling with companies from Prince- ton, Hibbing and Eveleth, were on the third section leaving St. Paul at 11 p. m., Monday evening, August 27th. The entire troop train under command of Major Weaver traveled on the Rock Island road to Kansas City and from there over the Santa Fe to Deming, passing through the cities of Iowa Falls, Des Moines, Kansas City, and Emporia, Kansas. The weather throughout the trip was delightfully cool and was not marred by a single rainy or cloudy day. The troop train reached Deming in one of the worst sand blizzards of the season. At sundown, however, the wind abated and the camp could be easily seen. Deming is situated 80 miles from El Paso and enjoys an elevation of 4333 feet above sea level or nearly 3,000 feet higher than Anoka. The city of Deming has a population of 5,000 and is about IJ^ miles from camp. By a government order all saloons in the city were closed two days before the troops arrived and will remain closed while the troops are at Camp Cody. Camp Cody and the city of Deming, are situated on an enormous plateau surrounded by a low range of mountains. The plain is covered with a small growth of sage brush and there is very little cactus. To date there have been no complaints about fleas or mosquitoes and there are very few flies. By a recent order of the war department all com- panies will be re-organized into companies of 250 men with two captains and four lieutenants. The principal share of the work at Camp Cody will be this work of re-organization and re-equipping the regiment. By arrangements before departure for the South, the news of all serious cases of sickness or accidents will be wired to the proper persons at Anoka. This measure was taken to put a stop to the many un- founded and startling rumors that were spread broadcast over Anoka while the troops were in the South last year. We are directly above a hidden river, which fur- nishes us with plenty of good water. Each company has a large new mess hall that seats about two hundred men. We were given a large refrigerator which is always filled with plenty for us to eat owing to our fine Mess Sergeant Stew- art who is the best food finder in the Regiment. Lieut. Cutter has been transferred to Company G of Princeton and Lieut. Morton who takes his place was well liked by Company G and is sure to be well liked here. Lieut. LaPlant, who was sent down a week ahead of us to prepare our camp did a good job and told us that this will make an ideal place to train. Corporals Morse and Par- ker, who are tooting in the band, are developing chests on them like Homer pigeons. Privates Postal and Loftus have transferred to head- quarters and supply compa- nies. Saturday was wash day and all were busy removing the real estate collected from several states we pass- ed through. Sunday morn- ing we were given our first Paratyphoidinoculation but this did not interfere with thaddeuS F. GIDDINGS our Sunday dinner and the fine after dinner cigars furnished by Lieut. Goodrich. As the weather grew cooler, patriotic knitting began to attract the attention of those who knew how to knit of yore and those who wanted to be of service in this way. One of the first of these, among the men, was Thaddeus P. Giddings, who began to knit socks for soldiers in Jvme and con- tinued to use his spare time, on street cars and while reading evenings, until the war was over. He purchased the yarn and gave the completed socks to the soldiers. The next year he knit for the Red Cross. His contribution during the war consisted, in this particular way, of 140 pairs of socks and a sweater. Mrs. T. W. Morton was another industrious knit- ter. She was eighty-four years old and yet was able to knit more than sixty pairs of socks for the Red Cross. Miss Lillian Hewey knit over 175 pairs of socks beside making over many pairs. Mrs. John Hunter was another great knitter. A meeting was held at the Commercial club rooms on the evening of Friday. September 13th, to arrange for a proper recognition of the first contingent of drafted men who would leave the next week. The plans were well made and carried out with enthusiasm. By means of the following notice the school child- ren were bidden to the celebration: WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 35 "The school children of Anoka County are in- vited to attend a picnic to be given on the court house grounds, Friday, September 21st, at 12:30, in honor of the soldiers who are about to leave for the training camp and to march with the rest of the procession. I recommend that the rural schools be closed for the day and the children given an op- portunity to demonstrate their loyalty." George D. Goodrich, Co. Supt. of Schools. When Friday afternoon arrived there was a mighty crowd gathered in Anoka from all parts of the county. Not only were these eighteen men be- low listed present, with all their friends, but all draftees who had been certified for active service were honor guests on the occasion, and most of them seemed to be present. ■(^^^^^^^■■■■■i — — ^'^W^ jQ^-^— ^^B^^^HHr^^HiC^K^Hl2 JB^K. i^H^^^^l m 1 ; ^-1^ 'Wi ■'.. :■-■ ^m^s?:- ^^m^' .\ ' GROUP OF MEN INDUCTED SEPTEMBER 22ND, 1917 783 Hathisen, Walter Henry, Stacy, Minn. 676 Carlson, Edgar, Constance, Minn. 275 Tackmann, Arthur Harrison, Cedar, Minn. 564 Altenburger, Joseph, R. 3, Forest Lake, Minn. 536 Barott, Walter Scott, R. 3, Forest Lake.

These were Anoka's first soldiers to enter the army under the selective draft. Some of them were to die, some to be wounded and sick, but all of them were to make good soldiers of whom their home county was exceedingly proud. A dinner was served on the court house grounds, then a long procession led by the Morgan Fife and Drum Corps of Minneapolis and veterans of the G. A. R., wended its way to the Stadium where a program was to be given. It is probable that more than a thousand people took part in the par- ade. Each person carried an American flag. At the Stadium Captain P. G. \\'oodward, one of the surviving heroes of the war of the rebellion, presided and the following program was the clos- ing feature of the splendidly arranged tribute to our conscript lads: Invocation Rev. Drewett Greeting Alayor Berry Solo Miss Marguerite Dunn Address Judge Leeds H. Cutter Solo E. Hadley Reading Mrs. F. L. Salter Reading Mrs. Goss "For Our Boys in the Trenches'' Duet Mr. Drewett, Mrs. Geo. Green Address Judge .\. E. Giddings "Why We Are at War" Presentation by Capt. Woodward of comfort bags to the honor guests. This little jingle from one of the Anoka papers, tells how the people felt about the departure of the conscripts: THE BOYS IN OLIVE DRAB In Seventy-Six they sang about The gallant Minute men, And hearts were thrilled at Lexington, At Yorktown and Cowpen. In Eighteen Twelve, on land and sea, Our soldiers won renown; And then, again, in Forty-Eight We tamed the Greasers down. In Sixty-One, the blue and grey Engaged in bloody strife, i\nd cannons roared and armies bled To save the nation's life. In Ninety-Eight the Spanish Don Laid waste our neighbor's shore, And Yankee lads, in khaki clad. Gave him enough and more. The Moro, Greaser and the Chink Have felt this country's steel. And everytime we've gone to fight We've made somebody squeal. And now again in Seventeen We've heard the call to arms And Yankee lads in olive drab Are leaving stores and farms. On every hill, in every glade One hears the bugle blow, And every honest man and true Is ready now to go. And, as thej^ march away to fight. Though sad to see them go. They'll honor bring to home and flag This much we surely know. Then lift your glass to toast the flag. Your country and your sons: The splendid boys in olive drab Who'll face the Prussian guns. A nation's honor rests secure Defended by their might And peace will come with honor then Accompanied by right. Lieutenant Edward B. Cutter was made Judge Advocate of Special Court Martial in the 34th Divi- sion, according to news received late in September. The Red Cross maintained a tent and display of the chapter's activities at the county fair. Speakers for the Loyalty Lyceum were in great demand over the state, A. E. Giddings and R. P. Chase being called upon as frequently as three and four evenings a week. Six more draftees were certified to the local board on September 25th. They were: ,=;o7 420 43^ 027 874 343 Bernicr, John B., Hugo, Minn. Johnson, Joseph L., R. 3, Elk River, Minn. McDonald. Joe, R. i. Cedar, Minn. Benson. Alex Albert Julius, R. 3, Elk River, itinn.

Here is one: 36 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY Camp Cody, N. M. September 11, 1917. Dear Friend: Co. "B" is getting firmly settled in camp. Rifles and other equipment were issued last week and we are now drilling in earnest. Inspection was held last Saturday and Co. "B" passed with one of the best marks of the Battalion. Capt. McAdow, Lieuts. Chisholm, Bogard and Stevens have been assigned to Co. "B" for training. The following promotions have been made in the Company: Corporals Robert Douglass, Albin Lind- fors, Myron Faber and Arthur D. Caswell have been promoted to Sergeants. Privates Leo Mc- Carthy, Warren Bowers, Earle Duran, Merritt Sher- man, Archie Sorenson, Milton Wethern, Rudolph Wethern, Albin Rydquist and Clifford Starr, ap- pointed Corporals. Privates Arnold Anderson, Floyd Appleman, Wm. Brezler, Wm. Bjorlin, Leon Chamberlain, Ralph Chamberlain, Andrew Dahl- strom, Reynold Engstrom, Alfred Erickson, Jacob Hauger, Daniel McCarthy, Daniel Morton, Geo. E. Johnson, Robert Pratt, Adolph Pusch, Geo. A. Smith, Oscar Sward, Orlo Smith, John Whipple and Walter Yngve were promoted to 1st Class Privates. Co. "B" baseball team composed mostly of ex- high school players defeated the Supply company team by a score of 24 to 2, the "B" boys batting the ball in big league style. More games are being scheduled and the fellows expect to have plenty of fun in the coming games. The Mess house has been wired and this makes a fine place for the boys to spend their evenings, listening to the Jazz band, the kind that makes ones feet start off by themselves and when the music stops you find yourself with a chair or broom in your arms dancing like a demon. The fellows are looking forward to the fun when they get their phonograph, one man will be detailed to run it each meal and we expect to have a regular cabaret. A few nights ago the fellows had a rip-snorting shirt tail parade to hurry along pay day. The band led the column playing "Cheer, Cheer" — • and, "Your in the Army Now." Co. "B" wishes to thank the ladies of Anoka who gave us the pillows and comfort bags, both of which are a true comfort to the soldiers. The fellows like the camp better every day, but all have to admit that Anoka was the ideal place to train. Lieutenant Willard Howard, medical, was sta- tioned at Camp Pike, Arkansas, being on duty with an ambulance corps there. Owing to the exceedingly high cost of food and the request to conserve of flour, meats and sugar, war time recipes were published in large numbers in order that Anoka home makers might help to conserve. Here are three typical recipes: WAR TIME RECIPES Meat Loaf 2 lbs. round steak chopped I cup rolled oats 1 cup stewed tomatoes 3 level teaspoons salt J teaspoon pepper 1 dozen ripe olives, i onion chopped and 1 cup tomatoes may be added if desired. War Bread 2 cups bread crumbs 2 cups cooked beans 2 cups cooked rice 2 eggs 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper to taste i cup nuts, and 1 onion chopped or tomato sauce may be added if desired Bake until a knife is clear that is inserted in it. War Cake Boil 3 minutes 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup water 2 cups seeded raisins 3 cup lard, Sawtay or Crisco 1 tablespoon molasses 4 teaspoon nutmeg i teaspoon cloves 1 teaspoon cinnamon When cool add two heaping cups flour, 1 teaspoon soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Bake in mod- erate oven. As the days sped on more alarming reports came from Europe. The need of more men and that soon, was indeed pressing. People became aggravated at what seemed to be needless delay and unholy bow- ing down before Red Tape, the Pagan idol of all officialdom. Partly on account of possible leakage of valuable information to our enemies, and partly, one could not but be led to suspect, through a desire to thwart offers of advice and aid and to have it recorded in history that American participation in the World war was managed solely by southern Democrats, the progress of the first few months just passed were largely shrouded in deepest mys- tery, so far as the people of the northwest were concerned. But here is an editorial which will, maybe, better tell of the situation. It must be recalled that a weird specimen had been found and exalted to the position of Chairman of the Bureau of Information at Washington. Meagre in mentality and adroit in thumbing over facts to suit the occasion and poli- tical expediency, this fellow peddled weekly to the press of the country, the often stale, mildewed and very unreliable information upon which all com- ment was based. There were no reliable sources of information within reach of the newspapers. AFTER SIX MONTHS America has been at war with a foreign power for six months. During that period what has been accomplished? This is a reasonable question which may be asked by the people who are furnishing the men and paying the bills. A hasty glance over the field of Uncle Sam's activities gives ground for both pessimistic and op- timistic comment. Let's take up the gloomy side first. Thanks to the carelessness, both official and un- official, of the past three or four years, this country was about as unprepared for a foreign war, or any other kind for that matter, as a cannibal is for Heaven. Our small, though valiant, standing army was not more than large enough to police our possessions. Our navy, undermanned, poorly equipped and limited in point of tonnage, could not hope to protect a fraction of our coast line. Of airships the govern- ment owned about six — two of which might, but not often did, really fly. The state militia upon which we have depended for so long, did not muster half its paper strength, was poorly equipped and, in many states, hardly trained at all. Our merchant marine was so trifling an item in the world's commerce as to be negligible. After three years of ample and stern warning this country still basked in the golden commerce of bleeding Europe and forgot to keep its powder dry. IVITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 37 When war was finally an accomplished fact and this country went in, we may well have been viewed with amusement by the contending European states with their huge armies and their wonderfully effec- tive blood letting equipment. During all of these six months in which we have been preparing, either feverishly or leisurely as you may feel inclined to think, nothing has stood be- tween this countrj' and invasion but the battle line of our now allied countries and the British and French navies. If either breaks before this cumbersome giant of the west finally gets going, we are in for a serious time of it. Our little handful of men now in France is not a drop in the mighty sea of warring humanity over there. Our volunteer system fell down completely in sup- plying the millions needed in all branches of the service. America has been asleep during most of the six months past. We have failed to realize the size of the task which we have undertaken. Men have had to go about suppressing disloyalty and preaching thrift in order to save Americans from the bitter fruits of their own folly. N'ot guns enough are yet made to equip even the first of our conscript army. The boys must learn tactics with a cane. We have been acting during the past six months, much as a man, informed that his home is on fire, who first leisurely completes reading his magazine before he telephones the fire department. But, on the other hand, there has been a lot of progress — too little but a lot. Potentially this country is great. When once we begin to fight there can be no question about the result. But when will that be? Wonders have been accomplished by a little in- telligent team work among the railroads. More than a million men are in training, (officers to train them had to be trained first). Our navy has been tripled in size and its force of fighting men doubled but, even yet, it is exceedingly small. We have loaned our allies billions of credit. Con- gress has quibbled and palavered and finally passed most of the legislation needed to conduct the war. Each week finds our military plans maturing more smoothly and our war preparations more volumin- ously under way. America is really getting ready to fight and when she is really ready to strike, the throne of the Hun will tremble. But we are not moving fast enough! We are not yet awake! We are not firmly enough united as a people with one purpose. There is too much dis- loyalty. There is too much bickering, too much parsimony. We do not seem to realize that this country needs every ounce of punch which each individual has. Let's get busier — let's all get solidly behind our government and speed up these preparations. Speed up every one of them in order that the Kaiser's day of reckoning may more speedily arrive. A general shake up at Camp Cody the first of October came as a surprise to friends of the units stationed there. Troops trained for years in the national guards were reorganized into artillery units. The announcement of this change was made public in Minnesota thus on October 9th. Officers have been assigned for the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Field Artillery, which is being formed from the ranks of the Third Minnesota in- fantry, and organization is being rushed as rapidly as possible, under authority of general orders Nos. 2 and 18, recently issued. Quite a number of officers and men will be transferred from the Third to form the new batteries and all assignments of officers have been made with the exception of Colonel, Lieu- tenant-Colonel and the Chaplain.

October 11th the first serious labor trouble oc- cured at the Coon Rapids dam in the township of Anoka. The Minneapohs Tribune thus told about it the next morning: "Fourteen men, all alleged to be members of the I. W. W., arested late yesterday near the Gen- eral Electric Company's power plant at Coon Rapids, were brought to Minneapolis last night and placed in the Hennepin County jail. They are charged with having instigated a riot at the company plant. They will be turned over today to federal authorities who are investigating the case. "The men were ar- rested yesterday by U. S. Pratt, sheriff of Anoka County, after they had destoyed considerable property in the camp of a con- struction coffer dam at Coon Rapids. The riot had not been pref- aced by any complaint of wages or working conditions but grew when the superintend- THE LIBERTY LOAN QUARTETTE ent of the plant dis- charged the men for alleged mutinous actions "A man, giving the name of John Disiviscour, and his address, Chicago, is alleged to have been the ringleader. When arrested he was armed with a large knife with which, other company employees said, he had been threatening them. "Last night Sheriff Pratt stationed a force of 50 special deputies on guard at the electric company's plant as a precaution against threatened damages to the power dam or plant. "J. W. Dougherty and L,. D. Wilson, Minneapolis detectives, and Patrolman Charles Van Rickely in Anoka, at the time the riot call reached Sheriff Pratt, aided in the arrest and bringing the prisoners to this city. "When booked at the county jail last night John Palmer, Joseph H. Cooper and Fred Mayer said they had no homes nor permanent addresses. The others gave their names and addresses as follows: Henry Davis, Chicago; W. M. Casebolt, Kansas; Roy Gannon, Cincinnati; Arthur Murray, Canada; Charles Smith, St. Paul; Charles Bates, Chico, Cali- fornia; William J. Kennedy, Philadelphia; R. A. Chapman, San Francisco; Frank Lang, Chicago and John Grandell, Pennsylvania. "The men are being held in jail today awaiting official action. A militia guard is protecting the Coon Rapids dam." The campaign for the Second Liberty Loan came on during the middle of October. The local banks did most of the clerical work and helped many to finance their subscriptions on a partial payment plan. The newspapers were permitted to furnish the pub- licity without charge. T. E. Coleman, chairman, Frank L. Salter, G. C. Lambert, Gus Johnson and Bazil Hunter were the representatives of the five banks in the county who helped to raise the sub- scriptions to the loan. The first Farm Club to buy a Liberty bond was the "Get Together" Club of the town of Anoka. A Liberty Loan quartette of local singers did splendid work at the meetings held all over the county. The quartette was made up of Ed. Marau- der, Gus Peterson, Earl Hadley and L. B. McGaffey. Most of the spellbinders who took part in the Red Cross campaign for funds again went out to the country churches and school houses to urge upon the people the need of investing generously in government bonds at this time. The response from the people was remarkable. Anoka County was not fortunate in having many very wealthy people as residents, but she had a lot of mighty patriotic ones. Some, very few it is a pleasure to state, refused to become interested in the matter. Most of these were fitted out with what was called a "blue" card on which the reasons which they gave for failure to take bonds were set forth and these were sent into the state headquar- ters. In order to do no possible injustice to these people, whose real financial circum- stances were not known, the names of them are not pub- lished here that their lack of ardor might be perpetuated in print. On October 23rd the grocers of the city agreed to sell but a dollar's worth of su- gar to a customer m order to conserve the local supply. Of the fourteen men placed under arrest at Coon Rapids under a charge of assembling with intent to do violence, Palmer, Kennedy, Smith, Casebolt, Gammon, Meyers, Davis, Grandell were found to have failed to register for the draft and were turned over to federal officers. The other six were kicked out of the county and advised to seek habitation elsewhere.

The Anoka National Bank The Coon Rapids incident indicated that there was a menace to the peace of the community and it was decided to call together the men who had vol- unteered as members of an automobile posse. This was done on the evening of October 17th at the city hall. It was a rainy, miserable night and yet a large crowd was on hand to organize. Deputy Sheriff Ben Egge and Major Bellows of the Minneapolis Citizen's Auxiliary were invited to tell Anoka how such an organization had been worked out in that community. WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 39 John Palmer presided at the meeting and, before the evening was over it was found that the follow- ing had joined: T. Frank Hare Fred Susse Geo. S. Hyatt T. J.

The most successful of all the loyalty meetings held in Anoka during the war took place October 24th. In the words of one enthusiastic old soldier, it was a "rip-snorter." Late Monday afternoon it was found that John Burke, Treasurer of the United States, was to be in Minnesota for two great speeches — Monday in St. Paul and Wednesday at Minneapolis. There seemed to be no good reason why Anoka should not have him Tuesday evening. Anoka's fame as a patriotic city was already known to Mr. Burke and he gladly consented to come here. At four o'clock Monday afternoon it was found that Mr. Burke had been secured. In spite of the fact that it was a regular show night and had been thus advertised, George W. Green and Manager Larkin at once tendered the committee the use of the Green Theatre for either a part or all of the evening free of charge. The former offer w^s ac- cepted and the show put on early, the second per- formance being omitted. State Auditor Preus, always ready to help Anoka, undertook to furnish the music. He tried to get the Highlander band of Winnipeg, but that or- ganization had gone back to Canada. So he nailed the famous Apollo Club which came to Anoka and sang to the delight of all who heard the program. This was done free of charge. The Minneapolis, Anoka & Cuyuna Railway, through its superintendent, A. A. Kranhold, then offered a special train free of charge to bring the singers to Anoka and return them again to their homes. Gus Peterson of the company went to Minneapolis to provide for the comfort of the club en route. Capt. P. G. Woodward met the club at Anoka and extended the courtesies of the city to the visiting sing- ers. Meantime, G. H. Good- rich, T. E. Coleman, L. O. Jacob, T. J. Abbett and Frank H, Koos undertook to advertise the event on short notice. The city and rural telephone lines were kept busy. The local tele- phone company co-operated willingly and notified many patrons. Superintendent Koos caused the thorough circulation of dodgers and the Price Confectionery sent dodgers among the evening papers. Mr. Gould from the State Capitol came to Anoka early Tuesday morning and spent the day stirring up enthusiasm. A reception committee was hurriedly made up. This consisted of R. W. Akin, L. J. Greenwald, P. E. Woodward, T. E. Coleman, W. A. Blanchard, Rev. Oliver Dolphin, Rev. Powell, James B. Berry, J. P. Coleman, G. H. Goodrich, B. C. Smith, George W. Green, A. E. Giddings, John Palmer. These were invited to an impromptu dinner at the home of Raymond P. Chase where were entertained the city's guests for the evening. These guests were John Burke of Washington, United States Treasurer; Theodore Wold, President of the Ninth District Federal Reserve Bank; J. A. O. Preus, State Auditor and Messrs. Stenvick of Minot, North Dakota and Beson of Minneapolis, who were giving their time to the Liberty Loan campaign. Besides those people already mentioned there were scores of Anoka folks who helped get the crowd together to make the meeting a success. Many of the loyal women of Anoka gave up their time to telephoning over the county and these should receive their share of the credit for the splendid co-operation which they gave. A. E. Giddings presided at the meeting. Rev. Powell of the Methodist church, gave the invocation. Theodore Wold spoke briefly upon what the Ninth District was doing for our country. UNITED STATES TREAS. JOHN BURKE 40 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY Mr. Preus gave a short but elo- quent address up- on the crimes of the Hun and the need for striking a quick, hard blow for humanity. When M r . Burke was intro- duced, the great audience which packed the theatre to the sidewalk arose and greeted him with prolong- ed applause and cheers. After saying some nice things about Anoka, the speaker outlined the condition which prevailed in Europe when America began to fight and showed what had already been accomplished since we entered the war. His speech was a se- rious arraign- ment of the disloyal swerving loyalty.

It con- sisted of E. L. Curia], of Anoka, chairman, John Pal- mer and Frank Hart of Anoka. A report from T. E. Cole- man as to the progress made up to October 30th in gath- ering up Anoka County's share of the Liberty Loan proved hard to believe; $ 94,000.00 2,800.00 5,600.00 4,200.00 5,550.00 3,850.00 16,200.00 2,800.00 4,050.00 4,950.00 2,300.00 13,000.00 9,200.00 4300.00 3,100.00 And yet it was true and, before the drive was over, $218,000.00 was subscribed. Anoka County's quota was $150,000.00. To further en- courage the work- ers there came this letter from Camp Cody: "I have enclosed a list of names of the ex-members of "B" Company, who are in Head- quarters Company and subscribed for the Second Liber- ty Loan. I thought that it might be of some interest to the peo- ple of Anoka to know one of the ways the fellows are using their money. Our re- giment is in the third place with a present total of $118,000. We feel a bit puffed over the deal as our regiment has only about half the number of men that the infantry regi- ments have. "Our Company alone which is the smallest or- ganization in the regiment, with the exception of the Supply Company, has a total of $9,000. As you will see, there are a few who did not subscribe. Most of these however, have someone partially de- pendent on them or else send their money to the banks. W. C. Bowers .' $ 100 V. L. Bjorlin 100 Alan Campbell 100 A. D. Caswell 100 L P.

The idea at the time was to talk loyalty over the county so constantly that every resident would WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 41 become thoroughly saturated with it. Such a whole- some situation tended to discourage the trouble makers which infested neighboring, but less ener- getic communities later on. Patriotism became a household word in the county and very few serious efforts were made by the seditionists to cause trouble here. The committee which had this convention in charge was made up of A. E. Giddings, W. H. Bradley, John Palmer, G. D. Goodrich, L. J. Green- wald, W. A. Blanchard. The convention was held at the court house on Saturday, November 10th. One hundred and eighty delegates had been ap- pointed, ten from each precinct in the county, and a large majority of these were present. The purpose of this convention was to^ elect delegates to the big rallies to be held next Friday and Saturday in the Twin Cities. A. E. Giddings opened the meeting with a brief statement of the reason for holding it. A girl's chorus sang two selections delightfully. On motion of W. A. Blanchard, seconded by John Palmer, a committee was appointed on per- manent organization. This consisted of W. A. Blanchard, Guy Goodrich, Ole Lagerson, Charles Lundberg and Phil Stack. Rev. Oliver Dolphin was introduced to the con- vention and made an eloquent appeal for real Americanism. The committee on permanent organization re- ported a constitution which was unanimously adopted. W J. Annoii moved that a committee of one from each delegation present and one at large be named to nominate perm.anent officers. The following committee was appointed: Dr. Bond, Capt. Woodward, Frank Hart, Guy Goodrich, G. C. Lambert, J. W. Martin, Ole Lagerson, Pat Lyons, Dolphis Cardinal, Victor Dupre, G. H. Erredge, E. M. Christion, Thomas Coleman, Robert Swanson, Will Clark, Frank King, Fred Whitney, Fred War- neke, Ed. Ferguson and W. J. Annon. Senator Swanson was called for a speech and responded genially. Rev. Drewett followed with a loyal speech which met with emphatic endorsement of the gathering. Rev. Barbour was next introduced and stirred his hearers with his eloquence. The committee on permanent organization then reported the following selections for permanent offi- cers. These were unanimously elected. President, A. E. Giddings; Secretary, W. J. Annon; Treasurer, Frank Hart; 1st ward, W. A. Blanchard; 2nd ward, L. J. Greenwald; 3rd ward, J. P. Jesper- son: Anoka, G. Giddings: Bethel Village, G. C. Lam- bert: Bethel, N. D.

It was an im- promptu meeting addressed by several out of town speakers, among these being Messrs. Campbell, Con- fer and Peck who were interested in the Y. M. C. A. A number of delegates from neighboring counties were present and a few local people. As the meet- ing had not been properly advertised in this vicinity, the local interest was small. A fund of thirty-five millions was to be raised for the war work of this organi- zation and Anoka County was asked to do its share. These men were then se- lected to act as a committee to raise the fund in one week: Pres., L. O. Jacobs; Sec, G. W. Green; Treas., P. E. Woodward. Chairmen — 1st ward, W. A. Blanchard: 2nd ward, L.

The cheerful results of the floating of the First Libertv Loan were announced about this timtej Anoka County subscribed $80,000.00. The entire country subscribed $4,617,532,300.00. This was an over subscription of 54 per cent above the sum asked. The number of subscribers was 9,400,000. The Anoka County teachers organized the Teachers' Patriotic League. Captain H. B. Bartell was in Anoka November 8th to organize a county auxiliary to the Stars and Stripes League. Nothing was done in the mat- ter at the time, however. Miss Theresa Erickson, R. N., and Mrs. T. J. Abbett were actively engaged in the selling of Red Cross Seals during the holidays, the money being devoted to that organization's fight against tuber- culosis in IVIinnesota. The draft board was having some tough sledding with the numerous blanks which the drafted men were to fill out and called for volunteer aids to assist in this work. Among the first to volunteer were Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Koos, L B. Collins, K. PL Miller, E. L Larson and H. E. Blewett. Dr. Guy Potter Benton, President of Vermont University and son of D. W.

Susse Paul N. Cyr _ Geo. D. Goodrich The committee on entertainment for the purpose of raising funds for the Sheriff's Auxiliary was composed of T. J. Abbett, Dr. S. Bond, G. W. Green, Frank H. Koos and J. F. Johnson. In December Ellsworth Swanson sent this letter telling of his experiences in training for the navy: "Will try to answer some of the questions you have put before me, but as I'm not an author or a poet, I don't know if you will know any more about it or not. "First of all we're not on any one ship yet as we have one day for drill and the next day we work. We get up at a quarter to five in the morn- ing and have from then tmtil 5:15 to do the follow- ing things: Fold up our bedding, lash up our ham- mocks, take a shower bath and dress. Then we clean up around the barracks. At 5:50 we fall in for mess, or breakfast, then as soon as we get our chow we go back and unlash our hammocks and air the bedding. From then until 7:30 we smoke or write unless they call us out for something else. Oh, I forgot something. We have muster before breakfast too. "Then about 7:30 they call us out to drill and we drill until 11 o'clock. From then until 12:00 we police the place and smoke or have a boxing match or some other sport. At 12:00 noon we fall in for mess again and at 1:00 we fall in for drill again, and we drill until 4:00 o'clock. Then we wash clothes until 5:00 o'clock when we fall in for supper, and we can do anything we please from 5:30 until 8:00 unless we do something to get on extra duty, and if so we have to drill two hours after supper. At 9:00 o'clock taps are sounded and we have to roll in. "I couldn't begin to name the different drills, but we have to drill with rifles as well as with machine guns and cannons. A sham battle here can Tje heard for over ten miles on a still day. "I don't know much about the hospitals, except that there are all men nurses, so you see we don't care to get sick enough to find out any more. You can figure how much time we have for fun. But don't forget that the most fun came when we got vaccinated and had six shots in the arm." A number of farmers of Grow township gave an auction at Anoka November 27th, the proceeds going to the Red Cross. These helped the draft board on questionaires December 4th: Frank H. Koos Ruth H.

Hosmer Joe Granfield A patriotic Thanksgiving gathering was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson of East Bethel. Some fifty neighbors were present to en- joy the dinner and knit. A collection amounting to $21.55 was taken for Red Cross. James McCarthy, of the 408th Battalion, signal corps, arrived in France, according to news re- ceived December 11th. John P. Coleman, Leeds H. Cutter and A. E. Giddings were selected as attorneys who were will- ing to give their services to draftees without charge during the war. E. L. Curial and Frank Hart were also made per- manent members of the Legal Advisory Board. The first Anoka County man to give his life in the service of his country, from Anoka County, was Edwin Lane, son of J. W. Lane of Ramsej' township. He died of pneumonia December 8th at Camp Cody, whither he had gone with Company "B" from Anoka in August. He was born June 19th, 1890 and had grown to manhood in the county. The funeral was held the following Wednesday from the Baptist church. But a small part of the people who attended to do honor to the soldier were able to gain entry to the church. A detail of soldiers from Minneapolis was a guard of honor and the Sheriff's Auxiliary marched to the church to attend the services. The flags of the city were at half mast for the day. By the middle of December the annual Red Cross drive for membership was on. These men were on the committee to gather in the members to the local chapter: Judge Giddings, County Chairman; Lewis O. Jacob, Campaign Manager; Una May Hart, Secre- 44 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY tary-Treasurer; Geo. H. Goodrich, Publicity Man- ager; Lucretia C. Foster, Clerk.

Parker, Dr. S. Bond, A. H. Dowdell and E. P. Babcock from the Anoka Commercial Club gathered up a fund of about a hundred dollars and purchase! a box of candy for each Anoka soldier at canton- ments and sent it with "Merry Christmas from the Commercial Club and other .'Xnoka Friends."

Koos December 23rd about six hundred of the men ot the county who were subject to the draft, met at the armorj' and made arra'ngements for regular drill in order to better lit themselves for the duties of a soldier when the}' arrive at cantonments. Leeds H. Cutter was elected Captain, L. O. Jacob, First Lieutenant and Peter Briere, Second Lieutenant. They continued to drill at Anoka, Cedar and Bethel until most of the men had been called to the colors, and many found themselves to have been greatly benefited thereby, when they finally reached camps. In the absence of Company "B," which had given a New Year hop the last evening of each year since the days when Adam v^'as first allowed to wear long trousers, the Sherifif's .Auxiliary decided to put on a military hop for them. These men were placed on the various committees: Hall— F. H. Hunter, J. H. Colwell and A. W. Pinney. Music — C. S. Hosmer, J. F. Johnson and E. F. Swanson. Floor— A. W. Chase, W. E. Bates, R. F.

The hall was tastefully deco- rated with a tall Christmas tree and with festoons of greenery and flags. At midnight old Father Time tottered across the stage, followed by the Four Seasons and the New Year. So large was the attendance that the gross receipts leeds jj CUTTER amounted to $420.00. Anoka County again led the state when it was called upon to furnish home cooked meats, cakes, vegetables, butter, etc., to be sent to the men at Camp Cody for a big holiday feast from home. But four and a half days were allowed to advertise the undertaking, collect the food, label it, pack it and ship it. More than fifteen hundred pounds were sent, packed in boxes and barrels. Of seventy packages of food sent from the entire state, Anoka sent twenty-three. The Sherifif's Auxiliary paid the express on the food to St. Paul whence it was ship- ped to Camp Cody at state expense, arriving there in fair condition a week later. The committee which had the gathering and ship- ping of the feast in charge was made up of Frank Johnson, Frank Hart, John Palmer, George Green and C. S. Hosmer. Owing to the nearness of .'\noka to the Twin Cities, the number of railroads passing through this sec- tion of the state and the disturbed conditions, it seemed wise to organize from among the members of the Sheriff's Auxiliary, a company of state troops tmder the act of the legislature establishing the Minnesota Home Guard. Brigadier General Walter F. Rhinow, Adjutant General of the state, approved the move and au- thorized the recruiting of such a company at Anoka and later another at Columbia Heights. Thursday evening, January ,lrd, fifty-eight men volunteered for this service and all but a few com- pleted their enlistment and served the state faith- 50 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY fully and well for the period of the war.

This is the order number three of the Minnesota Commission of Public Safety, establishing a Home Guard in this state: The Minnesota Commission of Public Safety here- by finds and declares it necessary and proper for the public safety, for the protection of life and property and as a matter of military expediency and necessity, and does hereby order: 1. That a Home Guard be enlisted, organized and maintained for service in the State of Minnesota to consist of such units as may hereafter be au- thorized by this Commission, and to be organized as now prescribed by law for similar units in the Minnesota National Guard; said force shall be known as "Home Guard of Minnesota;" 2. The term of enlistment in said Hotne Guard of Minnesota shall be for the period of the present war and until peace shall be concluded between the United States and any and all foreign nations with which the United States is now or may hereafter be at war. The oath to be taken by the enlisted men of said Home Guard of Minnesota shall be in the following form: "I born at in the State of on the day of A. D., 18 , by occupa- tion , do hereby acknowledge to have voluntarily enlisted this day of 1917, as a soldier in the Home Guard of Minnesota for the period of the present war and until peace shall be concluded between the United States and any and all foreign nations with which the United States is now or may hereafter be at war, unless sooner discharged by proper authority. And I do hereby solemnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the United States of America and to the State of Minnesota and that I will serve them honestly and faithfully against all their enemies, whomsoever, within the State of Minnesota, and that I will obey the orders of the Governor of the State of Minnesota and of the officers appointed over me according to law and the rules and regula- tions now or hereafter governing the Home Guard of Minnesota." The officers of the Home Guard shall subscribe the following oath: having been appointed a in the Home Guard of Minnesota, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Minnesota against all enemies, foreign and domes- tic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will obey the orders of the governor of the State of Minnesota; that I make this obliga- tion freely without any mental reservation or pur- pose of evasion, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of my office in the Home Guard of Min- nesota upon which I am about to enter; so help me God." 3. Only able bodied men over the age of twenty- six (26) years shall be enlisted in the Home Guard of Minnesota. Any member of the Home Guard who is hereafter enlisted or commissioned in the federal service or in the Minnesota National Guard shall be entitled to an honorable discharge from the Home Guard. 4. No member of the Home Guard shall be en- titled to any pay for his services, or any allowance of any character, except as follows: A. Officers when on duty at any place other than their home station shall be entitled to the travel expense incurred and $2.00 per day for subsistence. B. Officers when held in continuous active ser- vice for a longer period than five days without an intervening leave of absence of equal duration, shall be entitled to receive $2.00 per day for such service. C. Enlisted men, performing detached service away from their home station, shall receive travel expense actually incurred and $1.00 per day for subsistence. D. Enlisted men when held in continuous active service for a longer period than five days without an intervening furlough of equal duration, shall be entitled to receive the same per diem pay as is paid to enlisted men in the service of the LTnited States. 5. The members of the Home Guard shall be subject to the disciplinary provisions of the Mili- tary Code in so far as they may be applicable to that organization. 6. The following units of the Home Guard are hereby authorized, and the government is hereby requested to provide for the organization and en- listment thereof, namely: Seven separate battalions to be stationed as the governor may direct and in such sub-divisions as he may deem proper and said number to be increased in the discretion of the governor and upon his order. The governor may, in his discretion, organize said units into regiments. Dated at St. Paul, Minnesota, this 28th day of April, A. D. 1917. J. A. A. BURNQUIST, Governor and ex-officio Chairman of the Minnesota Commission of Public Safety. JOHN S. PARDEE, Secretary of the Minnesota Commission of Public Safety. WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 51 Shortly after the first of the year W. J. Annon organized his committees to take up the work of selling the Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps offered by the government. He had appointed this executive committee: W. J. Annon, Chairman Mrs. F. L. Salter W. A. Blanchard Roe Chase J. C. Erlander George W. Green A. A. Kranhold George J. t iddings Tesse G. Brooks The teachers of the rural schools of the county, Mr. Rairdon of the St. Francis Consolidated school, Frank H. Koos, superintendent of the Anoka City schools and Captain Arthur L. Reed, were made a part of this committee and called to Anoka on the afternoon of January 19th to begin an active cam- paign. The out of town people were guests of the executive committee and dinner was served by the young ladies of the domestic science classes of the local high school. The local mill began to grind war flour and a sample of the very excellent bread made from this flour was examined with interest and tasted with curiosity by the people. That the people of the county were striving in every possible way to do their part is illustrated by a few reports of county-wide activity selected at random: H. E. Erickson, chairman of town committee on food conservation, reported from the Joyce chapel district thus: "Responding to the appeal of the government through Mr. Hoover in the matter of food conser- vation, the majority of the people about Joyce Chapel patriotically entered into food conservation. For the nine weeks ending with January 1st, an average of 15i families have reported each week. The food administration suggested that each family report each week 7 wheatless, 14 meatless and 21 wasteless meals." The average for the nine weeks is 15 wheatless, 19 meatless and 21 wasteless. And these from the Town of Grow: The Hard Time Social for the benefit of the Round Lake Red Cross was well attended. Fining those who came dressed up and the holding of a Kan- garoo Court added greatly to the evening's amuse- ment. James Gillespie, after winning the Rhode Island Red rooster, turned him over to the Red Cross to be auctioned off. E. B. Sherman presented the Red Cross with a check for five dollars. A hard time lunch was served at midnight. The pro- ceeds of the evening were $36.62. From the middle of July, 1917, until the beginning of the New Year, the members of the Round Lake Red Cross have completed the following articles: 84 hospital bed shirts, 4 pajama bed coats, 33 sweaters, 10 mufflers, 20 pairs of socks and 10 pairs of wristers. Dr. Scipio Bond was made Food Administrator for Anoka County. He selected Mrs. Frank L. Salter and G. D. Goodrich as assistants. For a j^ear Dr. Bond gave up most of his time to the duties of Food Administrator and he, with his assistants, was able to bring a number of luke- warm residents of the county to a realization that they really had to do as the government directed. Selfish sugar and flour hogs were shown scant sym- pathy by this administration and those who tried to hoard wheat became unwilling contributors to the Red Cross. Even the little folks of the public schools were trying to do their mite to help LTncle Sam. Miss Theresa Erickson in the selling of Red Cross Seals during the holidays had interested the little tots in this to such an extent that she was able to present the following praiseworthy report: Anoka has very truly been named one of the most patriotic little cities in Minnesota, for never before did people buy Red Cross Seals as they have this year. Most of this grand success is due to the very energetic work of our young salesmen, the school children of all the Anoka schools. A great number of them earned their medals, con- sisting either of a pretty button or a pretty helmet pin. About four hundred boys and girls were en- rolled as Modern Health Crusaders, and we earnestly hope they will follow the health rules of this little league. We have now $305.00 in the bank from our sale, as against $90.00 last year. Washington School sold $58.00 worth. Lincoln " " 37.00 St. Ann's Convent " 37.00 " Franklin School " 40.00 Seventh Day Advent " 1.50 High School " 15.00 The banner rooms are the following: Washington, 5th grade, $25.00; St. Ann's Convent, Sth and 6th grades, $23.00; Lincoln, Sth grade, $13.00; Franklin, 5t|h and ^6th grades, $13.00. Dorothy Zimmerman, Franklin Kline, Norman Peterson, John Poulous, Theodora Norrell, Arthiir Libby and Catherine Swick earned gold helmet pins. The banner rooms are each to have a beautiful Crusader pennant. Our youngest Red Cross worker was little Carroll Norrell, age three and a half years, who also earned a a silver pin by selling one dollar's worth of seals. We want to thank all our helpers for this splendid help, which will go far towards anti-tuberculosis work in Anoka. THERESA ERICKSON, R. N. January 4th, 1918. School Nurse. The Congregational, Methodist, Baptist and St. Stephens churches dedicated service flags and all over the county these flags began to appear. The homes in Anoka County which did not display Old Glory, a service flag. Red Cross or Liberty Loan pennant were rare indeed. The village of Columbia Heights was very ener- getic in its loyalty. Regardless of its large per- centage of aliens, that community made an enviable record during the war in every possible way. January 12th there was an interesting meeting there. The supper and entertainment was for the benefit of the Red Cross. This was the program: Remarks by President J. McKenna of the Asso- ciation. "Star Spangled Banner" by audience.

Grotius Giddings served as a member of a com- mittee late in January to assist State Food Admin- istrator A. D. Wilson to market the surplus potato crop of this vicinity. The papers of the state were very kind in the ex- tending of credit to this county for its enthusiastic efforts. This from the Min- neapolis Tribune at that time will serve to illustrate the friendly comment from the state press: "Anoka County may be the banner Minnesota Coun- ty in organized patriotic ef- fort and achievement, ac- cording to report sent in from there to the state di- rector of the Council of Na- tional Defense. "Teachers of Anoka County, realizing that the fundamentals of patriotism should be taught from the time a child enters school, have organized them- selves into a Teachers' Patriotic League for study and strength. "Patriotic 'sings' are being urged and organized all over the country through the medium of farmers' clubs, civic and local musical and literary clubs. Later in the winter it is planned, that, under leader- ship of the County Council of National Defense, a big county 'community sing' will be held, where the national airs will be featured. "By February 1st, a woman county agent will be put to work who will work among the women in Red Cross and food conservation. Up to date Mower County is the only one financing such an agent, and Anoka's only regret is that 'Mower beat them to it.' "A salvage campaign is in full swing among school children who are collecting paper, rubber, tin foil, automobile license tags, etc., the proceeds to go to the Red Cross. "The Red Cross is reported to be booming with 1,500 new members since the first of the year, with one district still unreported. Anoka has two Red Cross members to every taxpayer. P. E. WOODWARD "Farmers' institutes wherever held are serving only Hoover dinners and are co-operating in every way with conservation projects. "Even commercial and typewriting classes of high schools are asked to co-operate by typing programs and propaganda circulars used in the county." On January 22nd a report of the results of the campaign for funds for the War Y. M. C. A. was made public. This is the report as made at that time by P. E. Woodward, treasurer: "The total subscriptions received in Anoka County for the War Y. M. C. A. fund last fall amounted to $6,055.08. This sura was received from approxi- mately L564 people. Cash in the amount of $4,832.33 has been paid in by the subscribers and, of this amount, $4,780.51 has been paid in to the State Trea- surer of the Y. M. C. A., E. W. Decker of Minnea- polis. The entire cost of the campaign was $51.82. "Thus $1,222.75 is yet due on the pledges made in this county. Of this amount about $700 is due from people in the city and about $500 from people in the country." The Philolectian society voted twenty dollars with which to buy fuel for the Red Cross work rooms. Henry Deutsch of Minneapolis, addressed a meet- ing of the teachers previously noted, on January 19th, the Liberty Loan quartette furnished the music, W. J. Annon presided and Mayor James B. Berry made a brief speech endorsing the War Stamp Sale. It was in January that the alleged shortage of coal in the country drew from the Federal Fuel Ad- ministrator Garfield the remarkable order that all business houses and factories not engaged on war orders, be closed for three days and that no fuel be burned in these places on Mondays. While complied with cheerfully, the order was generally taken to be one of the most assinine ever issued and any real results other than to paralyze busi- ness to some extent, is extremely doubtful. The order was rescinded after a few weeks' trial. Coal dealers found a surplus of fuel on their hands in the spring. A company of Home Guards was mustered into state service at Columbia Heights with Captain Merrill F. Bean, First Lieutenant Alex Reynick and Second Lieutenant William McDonald as officers. This company at once became the center of patriotic activity at that village and accomplished a very large share of the war work of that community. The registration of enemy aliens was ordered for the first week in February. All German enemy aliens, residents of the county, who received their mail from the local post office or over the Anoka mail routes, were ordered to appear at the post office in person between the dates of February 4th and 9th with four pictures of themselves. The term "alien enemy" was taken to mean males over 14 years of age, native citizens or subjects of the German Empire, who not become naturalized citi- zens of America. Order number twenty-five of the Public Safety Commission directed that all aliens in Minnesota register during a three-day period, from February 25th to 28th. This is the result as officially filed in St. Paul. WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 53 LIST OF ALIENS REGISTERING IN ANOKA COUNTY ANOKA Ash, RebeccOj Gray St., Box 645, Anoka Ash, Chas.

The substitutes are as follows: Corn meal, corn starch, corn flour, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, rice, rice flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, sayo bean flour. Graham or whole wheat flour must not be sold as flour other than wheat. It may be sold only as follows: One pound of graham or whole wheat flour with six-tenths of a pound of any of the sub- stitute flours listed above. Bakers and hotels see local food administrator for special instruction. The Fuel board at the same time fixed the price of wood and established a city wood market, pub- lishing this announcement: City Fuel Inspector C. J. Edgarton, made public the following prices which will be in force until further notice: Soft maple, popular and bass, green, $4.50 a cord, dry, $6.00. Green oak, $6.00; dry oak, $8.00. Hard maple, green, $7.50; dry, $9.00. Tamarack, green, $5.00; dry, $7.00. These prices were fixed by order of the county fuel commission on January 29th, and are based upon the heat value of the wood. Farmers with wood for sale are to take the wood to the city market on Bridge Square, have it mea- sured by Mr. Edgarton and receive notice where Buy less - Serve less Eat only 3 meals a day Waste nothing \bur Quests ivill cheer- fully share simple fare Be Proud to be a. food sacver ^ J they can at once deliver it and get their money. People wishing wood should notify Mr. Edgarton well in advance of their wants and be ready to pay for the wood when it arrives. Order No. 24 of the Public Safety Commission directed that every county voted dry by local or county option must be dry in fact, and that liquor could not be hauled into such territory from the damp oases of the state. The regulation eflfected Anoka County in that some of our neighboring towns were, at that time exceedingly moist. Frank M. Fretwell, a former Anoka County man, went into the aviation from Seattle. Mrs. P. E. Woodward and Mrs. Fagundus had taken courses in surgical dressings in Minneapolis, and. in February, opened a class for those who wished to become supervisors in this work. A volunteer station was soon to be established in Anoka. The following were members of the classes: Mes- dames G. W. Green, F. L. Salter, G. J. Hastings, R. P. Chase, L. J. Greenwald, J. C. Sellers, Roe Chase, Miss Jane Woodward and Mesdames Bar- bour, Johnson, H. H. Carlson, A. E. Giddings, G. K. Hagaman, Slater, Harrv Sherman, Wehlitz, W. A. Blanchard, W. H. LaP'lant. A card party was given at the home of Dr. and ^Irs. G. K. Hagaman to raise money for materials. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sherman gave an ironing board and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. W. Sellers gave an electric iron for the use of the dressing station. 58 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY On Sunday evening, February 10th there was a splendid patriotic rally at the Green. All the local churches participated. Judge Giddings presided. Rev. Oliver Dolphin gave the invocation, Rev. Powell the bible reading, Rev. Drewett a short talk and Rev. Barbour an ap- peal for the Red Cross. Sergt.-Maj. J. E. Colwell and Bruce Storey, both Canadians gave patriotic addresses. There was music by the combined choirs of the participating churches. The collection was for the Red Cross and amounted to $135.16. A young man giving the name of Oscar Weber and residence as jMinneapolis, was taken into custody 432 McDonald, Joe, R. i, Cedar.

The total subscriptions for the entire county amounted to $15,300.00, and this sum was contributed by 1,665 individuals. Of this amount $14,335.00 had been paid and $965 was un- collected. The City of Anoka, through the City Commission, •VISIONS' -Cartoon published in the Anoka County Union, March 28th 191 '. Drawn by Gleason Pease February 8th, having no registration card and de- claring that he sought to avoid registration. He was turned over to the federal officials after a lengthy quiz. He finally drew a sentence of nine months in the reformatory. The Modern Woodman lodge gave a dance for the Red Cross at the armory. The receipts amounted to $200. These men were ordered to be ready to entrain for cantonments on February 25th: 604 Mathews, Sam, Fridley, Minn. 420 Johnson. Joseph L., R. 3. Elk River, Minn. 1 1 78 Abner Frederick, Elk River.

Red Cross, etc. The state having failed to provide any sort of equipment for the Home Guard, W. H. LaPlant headed a committee which collected enough money to purchase forty carbines, of an elderly and honored vintage, with which to arm the state troops sta- tioned at Anoka. The guns were used by Company "A," by drafted men and by members of the Sheriff's Auxiliary for drill purposes. Ammunition was on hand for the guns in case of need. About this time an opportunity was given Anoka County people to get a glimpse of what neighboring counties had done in the conscription of soldiers. WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 59 Provost ^Marshal General Crowder issued some figures of interest regarding the workings of the first selective draft in Minnesota. From this report the following may prove to be of some local interest: Anoka County — total registered 1177, quota 136, enlistments credit 107, net quota 29, called for ex- amination 99, failed to appear 4, accepted physically 61, rejected physically 23, claimed exemption 45, claims allowed 29, claims disallowed 16, certified to district board 42.

By the first of March Anoka County's war ac- tivities were so well organized that there appeared to be danger of over organization, i. e. too much machinery to finance and to keep moving. Some- body hit upon the happy idea of forming a War Activities Board, to be made up of all the officers of the then existing organizations. This body was to eliminate duplication of work, discourage un- necessary activities, coordinate similar committees and help to make the time and monej' of the county GROUP INDUCTED INTO SERVICE FEBRUARY 25TH, 1918 WAR CLUB WEEK MARCH 10I2*ol7'-S JOIN A WAR SAVINGS SOCIETY BUY WAR SAVING STAMPS DECLARE FOR THRIFT effective in the most telling way. This board ac- complished much during the year along the lines intended. Its membership may easily be gathered from the lists of officers of organizations already noted in this book. In order to gain a comprehensive view of what loyal Anoka County people had been up to the past year, on February 26th the Herald gave over an entire issue to telling of the war work of the county. Leaders in each line of work were asked to tell briefly of what had been accomplished. Excerpts from these reports are presented here, the first telling of the accomplishments of the Red Cross, was written by Mrs. A. E. Giddmgs, thus: "Anoka was one of the very first towns in the state to organize a Red Cross Chapter. Not waitingfora state organizer, a commit- tee from the Women's Clubs, churches and other organizations of this city called a mass meeting early in last April. The necessary steps were then taken to perfect an organi- zation and April 30th the following officers were elected: A. E. Giddings, chairman; Leeds Cutter, vice- chairman; Mrs. A. R. Woodmansee, secre- tary and L. J. Green- wald, treasurer. All these officers were re- elected for 1918, and are now serving, with the exception of Mr. Greenwald, who re- signed, and Frank Salter is now ap- pointed. The By-Laws adopted provide for these working committees: Military Relief, Civilian Relief, County Organization, Publicity, Home Service Class and Finance. Under the able chairmanship of Mrs. B. C. Smith, the Military Relief committee began work early in the summer and had ready in September, its first shipment of a complete hospital equipment for nine soldiers, together with a large number of knitted articles. This work has continued and increased with the larger resources under the efficient leader- ship of Mrs. Fagundus, Mrs. G. I. Gillespie and Mrs. Frank Koos, who have succeeded in turn as chair- man. The city workers on the Hospital Garments are grouped in ten groups with fifteen to each group from the different wards, meet- ing at the Armory every afternoon in the week ex- cept Saturday and Sunday. There is an average weekly attendance of 90 at thepres- ent time, with the interest steadily increasing. The work is well systematized with the following supervisors from the Military Relief committee: Mrs. L.J. Greenwald, secretary; Mrs. A. A. Hilton, inspector of garments; Mrs. T. J. Abbett, packing supervisor; Mrs. T. T. Geddes and Mrs. Charles Smith, cutters; Mrs. C. D. Green and Mrs. J. Jesperson, model garments. There are many other women who devote hours to the work daily and are gaining the highest mark of excellence for our FRANK L. SALTER 60 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY work. It would be an inspiring sight could these garments sent out each month be displayed in a large store window. A second line of this work is the knitting. It is not an exaggeration to say that for every woman able to knit the first of June there are now fifty. In spite of the labor required and the rising cost of yarn, the work accomplished in the past six months is nothing short of marvelous. Mrs. Maude Burnett is the faithful and competent manager of MRS. KOOS, MRS. GILLESPIE MRS. B. C. SMITH. MRS. J. C. JOHNSON the Knitting Bureau, and has all supplies and direc- tions at the store of Arthur Dowdell on Second Avenue. We give here an accurate list of the ar- ticles made in both departments by the Military Relief from September to February, inclusive: 522 pair socks, 463 sweaters, 134 mufflers, 322 wristlets, 16 helmets, 5 abdominal bands, 13 trench caps, 5 aviation caps, 236 pajama suits, 447 hospital bed shirts, 18 convalescent gowns, 86 pairs bed socks, 18 bath towels, 36 face towels, 99 wash cloths, 9 pairs slippers, 9 hot water bag covers, 9 ice bag covers, 107 handkerchiefs, 54 sheets, 36 draw sheets, 36 pillow slips, 136 napkins, 4 shoulder wraps, 1 tray cloth, 1 Christmas box, 3 bundles old linen, 3 bundles old cotton. Add to this a pillow and comfort bag given each soldier, volunteer or selective draft, who has gone from Anoka County. Mr. Babcock has recently been appointed buyer of materials for the Anoka Red Cross Chapter. The Civilian Relief committee furnishes necessary aid to the families of soldiers, and relief in any local calamity. Dr. Scipio Bond is chairman, but as yet little work has been required of this committee. The County Auxiliary work is organized by Mrs. Frank Beatty. This is a most important line of work, as each auxiliary is a center of Red Cross activi- ties in its locality, and the quantity and quality of work sent to the Chapter by the groups in the county at- test to the interest and zeal of our country members. They have helped very ma- terially in many instances in financing the work. The following auxiliaries have been organized to date: East Grow, chair- man, Mrs. Thompson; Round Lake, chairman, Mrs. Sherman; Linwood, Mrs. Martin; Bethel, Mrs. Lambert; Fridley, Mrs. Wm. Dye; Columbia Heights, Mrs. Deeble; St. Francis, Mrs. Bazil Hunter; Cedar, Mrs. Holiday; Burns, Mrs. Holdridge; Centerville, Mrs. Charpen- tier; South Burns, Mrs. Kennedy. The Publicity Committee endeavors to give all necessary information on the activities of the Chap- ter through the local press and other means avail- able. Mrs. A. E. Giddings is chairman. P. E. Woodward is the chairman of the Finance committee, and we may summarize here the financial resources of the Chapter. The yearly dues of members, $1.00, one-half of which is sent to the National Chapter. The various contributions from individuals, lodges, clubs, all E. P. BABCOCK MRS. RIDGE, MRS. NELSON, MRS. CAINE, MRS. THURSTON, MRS. HILTON, MRS. BERRY, MRS. BOWERS, MRS. SHEPHERD, MRS. MURPHY, MRS. HERING, MRS. BLANCHARD WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 61 other organizations, benefit entertainments, auction sales and other means for raising money. The largest asset of the Chapter so far has been the 25 per cent refund for all paid subscriptions to the War Fund. The county is deeply indebted to the untiring efforts of T. J. Abbett who served as the treasurer of this fund. We may say in passing that all officers and committees of the Anoka County Red Cross, serve absolutely without any remuneration or pay; and when we stop to consider that all this volunteer work of business men and busy housewives through- out the county is given gratuitously and unstintingly we get a convincing illustration of practical patriot- ism; and it is this one fact more than anything else that makes the American Red Cross so powerful a factor in winning the war. Frank Salter, treasurer, gives the following fin- ancial statement for publication: Financial Statement of Treasurer of Anoka Chapter, Red Cross, from its Institution to February 21st, 1918 Receipts. — From annual dues, $788.00; subscribing dues, $8.00; contributing dues, $.S.OO; Christmas drive (annual dues), $1,643.00; donations, $1,090.76; head- quarters (25 per cent first drive), $2,000.56. Total, $5,535.32. Disbursements. — To military relief (supplies, etc.), $2,012.46; civil relief, $25.00; general expenses, $225.48; headquarters for dues, $394.50; cash to balance, $2,877.88. Total, $5,535.32. Recapitulation. — By cash on hand as above, $2,877.88; _ to general fund, $1,542.66; relief fund, $404.72; civilian relief fund, $50.00; surgical dressing class fund, $50.00; due headquarters for dues, $830.50. Total, $2,877.88. Bills payable, $2,800.00 The membership for the Chapter in October was 780. Then, by consent of the National, all who contributed over $1.00 to the War Fund became members. This added approximately 1,643. The Christmas drive conducted by L. O. Jacob's committee, gave an increase of 1,600, making a total of 4,023. Renewals on the 1917 membership are now due for 1918. They should be paid as soon as possi- ble; and one magazine member paying $2.00 and receiving the Red Cross Magazine should be in every household. The Home Service class work began in Decem- ber with first aid class of fifteen ably taught by Dr. G. K. Hagaman who gave his services free. The fee for this class was $3.00 each, the money paid to the local Chapter. The surgical dressing department now promises to be second to none in the activities of the Chapter. Mrs. Fagundus and Mrs. P. E. Woodward took the advanced course at Minneapolis headquarters, quali- fying themselves as instructors, paying all their own expenses connected with this work. They are now devoting their time and efforts free to in- structing classes ready to supervise volunteer workers. Three classes totaling twenty-five each paying the fee of $2.00 (paid the Chapter), have taken the lectures and passed the examinations. They next take the actual work of surgical dressings. 128 hours each which entitles them to the Red Cross insignia. The former store of Wilcox-Thayer on Main Street has been cleaned and outfitted as a surgical dressing station. Different ones have contributed to make this possible, chief among them being P. E. Woodward, who gives rental free, Theo. Blan- chett, who paid for one ton of coal. Volunteer workers are now needed and invited to come in and make dressings. The third line in this Red Cross course is the home care of the sick. Miss Theresa Erickson, R. N., is qualified as Red Cross nurse, and has received authority from Washington to teach. The class meets on Thursday nights at Dr. Caine's office. As to the general scope of the work we quote from the constitution of the Anoka Chapter. "The principal function shall be to respond promptly and vigorously to any appeal by the National Red Cross in time of war or for those suffering from the effects of great calamity at home or abroad." Pursuant to this cause we are constantly being asked to take up some new line of work. Just recently has come the call for refugee garments. There are now ready to send, 35 infant garments made by the Episcopal Guild and a class of young girls in the Congregational Sunda^^ School, while the requisition for 40 refugee children's garments will be divided among the Domestic Science class of the High School, the Episcopal Guild and the Tillicums. The Junior Red Cross has just been organized for work among the school children of the county. Miss Christine Strom is county chairman and Frank Koos, city chairman. The schools have already done much work for the Red Cross, not the least of which was 100 Christmas boxes, paid for and packed by the children. The Salvage Corps aims to collect and sell for Red Cross, all waste paper, iron and metal, tin cans, rubber, leather, rags and bottles. This will be done by school children, superintended by Miss Theresa Erickson. Amid all these and the many other activities, "Are We Downhearted?" No and No! Are we better citizens and patriots for the doing and giving? Yes and Yes!" The "Sammie Backers" was a characteristic Anoka County organization. A report of this organiza- tion's work up to Alarch 1st, 1918, was thus recorded in the "war issue" mentioned: "Last fall, when the students of Anoka High School were asking the question, 'How can we do our bit?' urgent requests for more mail came from various camps. They decided 'our bit' was to cheer the Sammies by filling their mail bags. "October 3rd, a club was organized for the pur- pose of sending magazines, papers, cards, jokes, cartoons and letters to all the boys in the service who had at some time been students in Anoka High School. Maior Caswell, upon receiving several let- ters, referred to the students of A. H. S. as Sammie Backers, and this name was immediately appro- priated. All seniors, juniors, sophomores and fresh- men were enrolled as charter members. Two stu- dents were elected from each class to serve on a committee to take charge of the work. Miss Hog- nason and Miss Matson of the faculty were ap- pointed to assist the committee. Other members of the faculty have assisted materially in making suggestions, supervising, writing letters and mailing packages. October 4th, a committee consisting of 62 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY MISS HELEN VEIDT two students from each class, was selected to serve as the executive committee. The committee con- sisted of Helen Veidt, Frank Quackenbush, seniors; Bernice McGaffey, Dwight Caswell, juniors; Eleanor Piper, Vivian Gumbrill, sophomores; and Harriet Carlson, Wallace Larson, freshmen." "The first duty of the committee was to get the names and addresses of all A. H. S. students in the service. With the assistance of students and teachers the committee soon had a list of fifty-six names. A card catalogue was made. Each card contains the name and address of one boy and a record of all the mail sent to him by the organization. Room A was made Sam- mie Backers' headquarters. The committee designated Monday and Tuesday as receiving and mailing days, and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as work days. "On receiving days all the students of the High School were asked to bring to Room A papers, magazines, jokes, cartoons, good edi- torials and pictures for posters and scrap books. "On each work day one member of the com- mittee took charge of the work and asked the assist- ance of eight other members of his class; thus nearly every student of the High School had the opportunity of contributing his services some time during the semester. Late magazines were wrapped for mailing, interesting stories were cut from older magazines and placed in attractive covers, unique booklets were made of editorials, jokes and car- toons, such as 'When a Feller Needs a Friend,' 'Snoodle's Diary,' 'The Cheerful Cherub,' and 'Bring- ing Up Father.' Mechanical drawing students made the books attractive by printing the titles on the covers. Printing offices in Anoka generously con- tributed paper for books and covers. Brightly col- ored pictures were cut out and made into posters and scrap books for hospitals. "On mailing days a member of the committee was on duty in Room A, before school in the morning, at noon and from 3:00 to 4:30 in the afternoon. All packages were ready for mailing and were marked with the stamp, A. H. S. Sammie Backers. Students who sent the packages were urged to add their own names to give a more personal touch to the mail. Students went to Room A for the pack- ages, looked up the addresses of the boys in the card catalogue, and left a record of the mail sent. The first mailing day was October 10th, at which time 56 packages were sent. Since then each boy has received from 2 to 6 packages. "The committee made arrangements so that each boy receives a copy of the Anoka Herald or the Anoka Union every week. Sunday papers and maga- zines have been sent to the boys regularly. They especially enjoy the sport sheets of these papers. "Thanksgiving the Sammie Backers had a post card shower on the boys. Three hundred cards were sent. "The last of November the Sammie Backers as- sisted the Red Cross by contributing 30 Christmas packages for the U. S. soldiers in France and by wrapping 60 more packages contributed by the grade and country schools. "December 1st 840 packages had been sent. "December 11th was Cooky Day. A three pound box of assorted cookies gladdened the heart of each A. H. S. Sammie. "Seventy-two cheerful, newsy Christmas letters decorated in water colors with Christmas scenes, pictures of Santa Claus, holly, mistletoe, etc., and 250 Christmas cards were sent in time to reach the boys Christmas day. Students who wrote the Christ- mas letters received credit for them in their English classes. The sophomores have been writing letters to the soldiers as a part of their regular composition work. They have written some 200 soldier letters. "December 21st, fifteen scrap books were sent to one of the A. H. S. boys who was in the hospital at Camp Cody. "When one of the Sammies has a birthday, his name is posted on the board in the assembly room and the students are urged to send him greetings. Twelve birthdays have been celebrated in this way. "The news letters were received by the boys with great enthusiasm. These letters consisted of the names and addresses of all the A. H. S. boys in the service and a line or two of news about each one. Miss Curry had charge of the news letters. Copies of these letters were run off on the neostyle by the commercial department. Two such letters have been sent to all the boys and they are eagerly looking for the next one." About the middle of January a meeting of the club was called and a new executive committee ap- pointed. As before, it in- cluded two members from each class. Margaret Gil- lis, Ruby An- derson, sen- iors; Helen Goodrich, Mary Grace Ridge, juniors; Florence Pe- terson, Glenn Lydick, soph- omores; Helen Rither, Carl Hu mphrey, freshmen. The new officers elected by the committee were Mary Grace Ridge, President; Helen Good- rich, Secreta- ry; Carl Hum- phrey, Treas- urer. ' ' Janu ar y 16th, twenty- four posters, consisting of bright, attractive pictures mounted on cardboard, were sent to the boys at Camp Cody as decorations for their tents. "The Sammie Backers are very proud of having three boys in France. January 25th a large pack- age of the December and January numbers of our best magazines was mailed to each of these boys. "January 25th, the Sammie Backers had been in existence three months and a half. During that time they had sent 1,480 pieces of mail, with the hope that each piece, by encouraging the Samrnies, might prove an effective weapon against the Kaiser. December 3rd, the School Board presented the Sam- WARREN PARKER AND CLAYTON THURSTON WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 63 mie Backers with a beautiful service flag containing 56 stars. This flag was made by the advanced do- mestic science class under the direction of Miss Mellor. It hangs on the west wall of the assembly- room and is a constant reminder to the students of the loyalty and patriotism of the fifty-six brave lads who have offered their best services to their country. Since this flag was presented our list has been constantly growing; we should now have 73 stars on our flag. Every Thursday afternoon at Literary a report of the work done by the Sammie Backers was given. "The boys are very appreciative of our work and have sent many interesting letters and pictures to the Sammie Backers. Extracts from these letters were read at Literary. When the letters were es- pecially interesting, several copies were made and sent to the boys whom we thought would particularly enjoy them. The pictures were posted on the bulle- tin board in the assembly room. Thus the students learned much about army life in the various camps and their interest in the boys was kept alive. "We are proud of the splendid record our boys are making. We have on our list 15 non-commis- sioned officers and 8 lieutenants. We also boast one major and two lieutenant-colonels, from whom we have received some exceedingly interesting and inspirational letters. The influence of these older men has tended to give our pat- riotism a more serious vein. "Looking back over the semester's work, the Sam- mie Backers feel that they have received more than they have given. They have grown in loyalty and patriotism and they have a greater desire and determi- nation to back the Sam- mies, upon whom the bur- den of this war rests so heavily." A very comprehensive outline of the work done by another group of women, beside their Red Cross MISS MARY GRACE RIDGE work, was thus outHned by Mrs. Frank L. Salter: "The Woman's Auxiliary of the Council of Na- tional Defense and the Minnesota Public Safety Commission has for its object the conducting of all lines of women's activities in the nation and the direction of such activities along those lines which shall be of most service to the government during the war period. Unlike other war-time organizations, it seeks to carry out its instructions through already existing organizations rather than bj' the formation of new ones. "It is represented in Anoka County by a District, Mrs. T. J. Abbett,^ County, Mrs. F. L. Salter, and twent3'-one Town Chairmen, who are responsible for the enforcement, in their own territory, of the government orders sent out from Washington through state and county officials to every woman in the county. "Through these officers we are asked to work along the following lines: Food Conservation, Americanization, Teaching of Patriotism, Child Wel- fare, Social Hygiene, Protection of Women in In- dustry, Liberty Loan and Red Cross. "Thus far our efforts have been chiefly expended along the first three lines of work, at the same time lending what aid we could to Liberty Loan and Red Cross Work. "Summarizing briefly work already accomplished: "During summer of 1917, fourteen demonstration MRS. T. J. ABBETT classes held in different parts of the county, dem- onstrating canning and drying of vegetables and fruits. As a result, quantities of meat, vegetables, etc., were saved last fall which would have been largely wasted. "Exhibits of 100 calorie portions of various foods are being taken to every available meeting with talks on substitutes for wheat, meat, etc., and gen- eral food topics. "State workers have been brought to Anoka County several times to help us along this line of work. "An exhibit was held at the county fair and classes conducted two days. "Recipes have been dis- tributed by the hundreds and we are to continue giv- ing them out as we can get them. "1,800 Hoover pledge cards were signed in the first drive by the women. More were signed later through the school drive. "Teachers through the county are checking up wheatless and meatless days, kept through the chil- dren, and in many cases children are showing more loyalty in food conservation than their elders. "Nineteen clubs, aids, lodges, etc., from Anoka County have already voted to abandon lunches dur- ing the war period. We hope to have this list completed soon and the report will be published. Let us not go on record as feeling it necessary to be fed an extra lunch in order to keep up our interest in a club of any kind when children die hourly in those lands which, by accident, are not ours, for the want of those extra mouthfuls of food which we do not need. ".'^s a result of this campaign many more chickens and bees will be kept in the county this year than ever before. "Patriotism is being taught daily in every school through the Little Citizens Leagues. Songs, exercises, flag salutes, folk dancing, etc., and work for soldiers in hospitals, such as making of scrap books, etc., being the mediums used and we endeavor to help supply material for work where needed. "Community sings arc being organized — eight al- ready started and more will be heard from these later. A big county sing is planned as soon as weather permits. Plans are also under way for a survey or census of the foreign born districts. "700 Registration for Service cards were signed by Anoka County women. (This in round numbers). Centerville is to date the banner township in the number of cards signed in proportion to population. "Help was supplied to farmers' wives who asked for it in the fall and the same endeavor will be made this spring." The results of the drive for funds for the Y. M. C. A., it was reported, totaled $6,057.58, pledged MRS. L. O. JACOB 64 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY by 1,517 people. On March 1st $5,438.33 had been paid. During the first month of its labors the War Savings Stamp committee was able to report stamps purchased to the value of $7,000.00. At St. Francis a Sheriff's Auxiliary had been or- ganized and was drilling regularly. It was under the command of Sheriff U. S. Pratt. W. B. Schwab was President, Robert G.

Com- pany A, the Sheriff's Auxiliary, members of the G. A. R. and a fife and drum corps. Gleason Pease left the last of February for Van- couver where he enlisted in the Engineers. LaSalle Stewart received a commission of First Lieutenant in the Engineers in F'ebruary and went to France with his company. Captain Earl P. Hyatt was placed in command of Co. E, 136th Inf., at Camp Cody. This was a com- pany of the old 2nd Minnesota National Guard. James Faherty of Oak Grove and Floyd Grace of Bethel, also went to Vancouver late in February to enlist in the Engineers. Meanwhile the demands for saving food increased in America in order that our allies across the water and our soldiers might be fed. The housewives of Anoka were frequently nonplussed to devise means of using the substitutes which all must buy and use. Here is a sample war time menu for the three meals of a meatless day: Breakfast. Stewed Apricots or Prunes Buckwheat or Barley Griddle Cakes Corn Syrup Coffee. Luncheon or Supper. Spanish Rice Stewed Corn or Peas Steamed Brown Bread or Johnny Cake Apple Sauce. Dinner. Broiled Salt Mackerel or Scalloped Finnan Haddie Mashed Potatoes Potato Yeast Bread Cabbage and Beet Salad Graham Pudding with Raisin and Fig Sauce. The following merchants made possible, on Feb- ruary 26th, a page of publicity for the food admin- istration: C. P. McLean, P. Dahlheimer & Son, Mc- Cauley Bros., John Palmer, J. Brezler, Turnquist Co. A committee consisting of Captain Arthur L. Reed, P. E. Woodward and Roe Chase, secured from Min- neapolis friends of Anoka sufficient funds with which to purchase uniforms for the men of Co. "A" with- out cost to these men. The officers purchased their own equipment. Patriotic merchants assisted financially in securing publicity for the War Savings Stamp campaign. Among these were the Electric Line, C. D. Green & Son, Reed & Sherv/ood Mfg. Co., Goodrich, Wood- ward's, Smith Brothers, Beckum's, and several kept at it during the remainder of the entire year. The newspapers, of course, carried considerable publicity for this purpose without charge. Neil Campbell enlisted in the 319th Engineers in California and was sent to Camp Fremont, accord- ing to word received in Anoka March 12th. The surgical dressing class entertained at the new quarters in the Jordan block. About sixty dollars resulted for the materials fund. Governor Burn- quist sent up a large photograph which was used as one of the prizes at whist. Meantime the season for the Third Liberty Loan drew on.

This War Will Be Won Only When Thrift Eecomes Our Watchword THIS SPACE CONTRIBUTED BV The Anoka Electric Line men gathered at the Green Theatre to lay plans to raise the money. The meeting was addressed by E. C. Kibbee, a representative of the state execu- tive committee. On March 19th Mrs. Georgia Goss, librarian, asked for another hundred books of fiction to be sent to soldiers in cantonments. Occasional efforts were made to hold meetings within the county for purposes which smacked strongly of disloyalty. Anoka County early went on record against anything of this sort and it would WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 65 have been a hardy man who would have attempted such a meeting. But there was an alleged organi- zation pretending to be in the interest of the farmer which was causing trouble in various parts of the state. It was called the "Xon-Partisan League." Within its ranks were undoubtedly many loyal men who had been hoodwinked into the belief that the organization had no sinster menace for the North- west, but that it was destined to prove itself the panacea for all of the economic and political woes of the farmer. But, unfortunately, this same or- ganization was made up very largely of socialists, pro-germans, pacifists and their kind. Many of the society's leaders were jailed for making seditious speeches, obstructing the draft, etc., and some were tried, convicted and paid the penalty for their folly in jails and penitentiaries. An organization thus open to suspicion, to put it mildly, could not be tolerated in Anoka County and never did gain a foothold here, although some neighboring counties became infested with it. The intensely loyal village of Cedar went on record March ISth as opposed to this society, and its doctrines and the Commercial Club there resolved that no meetings of the kind might be held in the town. P\ W. Pettyjohn and N. A. Johnson signed the public announcement to that efTect. The Leather Workers Union at the Beasecker Harness factory organized to buy Thrift Stamps, and the schools, by this time, were all well under way in the same manner. The post office officials also formed an active War Savings Stamp Club under the leadership of Acting Postmaster Jesse Brooks. To conserve man power at the request of the food administration, the grocers combined their de- livery systems and had their merchandise delivered but twice a day. "^Minnesota in the War," a publication of the State Public Safety Commission, very highly praised the work of the Anoka High School Sammie Backers on ^larch 16th. Saving daylight was tried in Anoka for the first time the last Sunday in March. Everybody in the United States was directed to set his clock ahead an hour. He thus, perforce, arose an hour earlier and thus saves an hour for labor in which artificial light was not needed. The North Branch Review thus told of the patriot- ism of the family of Charles J. Lundberg of Ham Lake township, Anoka County: Mr. and Mrs. Lundberg have 14 children, eight boys and si.x girls, all living and well. Five of the boys are drafted, two of whom are in class one, two in the second and one in the third class. The youngest boy enlisted the day after war was de- clared. When asked if it did not seem hard for so many of her boys to go into the service, Mrs. Lundberg said, "No, I am proud to be able to help my country in that way." None of the boys claimed exemption from the draft. That's the kind of citi- zens Uncle Sam wants. Saturday evening March 23rd, on Central Avenue, in the south part of Blaine, there was an enthusias- tic meeting in the interest of Red Cross. The meet- ing was held in the store building and attended by about an hundred and fifty people. After the program the supper baskets were auctioned to the crowd.

A. Blanchard, George Frauman and T. J. Abbett from the Sherifif's Auxiliary, and A. A. Kranhold, G. W. Green and Denzil Thayer from Company "A," to see that each squad of departing draftees have com- fort kits and a fitting farewell at the time of de- parture. This committee worked hard and faith- fully, and, by means of dances and other methods, raised the money needed for these purposes. On May 14th this edict eminated from the food administration: "First. — For canning purposes only, consumers upon signing a certificate obtainable from the retail dealer, may purchase 25 pounds of sugar at one time. "Second. — The purchase of such sugar for canning purposes is allowed in addition to the regular con- sumptive requirements based on 3 pounds per capita per month as now authorized.

May 2nd a basket social at School District 52 in Centerville resulted in $37.50 for Red Cross. The Columbus Farmers' club, Cedar Commercial club, St. Francis club. Progressive club, Centerville Farmers' club, Crooked Lake Farmers' club, Con- stance Farmers' club. Bethel Farm Bureau club. Round Lake Farmers' club. Get Together Farmers' club and Blaine Farmers' clubs all passed resolu- tions denouncing the efforts of the "Non-Partisan League" to breed trouble in Anoka County. And yet the hired agents of this organization continued to seek entry into the county in the hope of spread- ing their doctrines here. It may be added that they never did succeed in fooling but a very few of the farmers of the county.

He told of his recent experiences in visting the fighting line in France and enthused the great audience with his eloquent plea for loyalty. The 12th Battalion Home Guard band, made up of men from neighboring towns, paraded the streets and furnished the music for the occasion. The local Sherifif's Auxiliary paid all expenses of the meeting. Rev. Powell of the Methodist church gave the invocation and Father Dolphin of the Catholic church the benediction. Anoka County was taken to be a good example of one hundred per cent loyalty in Minnesota. Indeed so widely was the practical patriotism of the county known that this little poem seemed apt at the time: iriTH THE COLORS FROM AXOKA COUNTY 69 PRACTICAL LOYALTY. Grandpa sat thumbing the Liberty bond Which he had bought that day; And Granny was knitting a khaki sock In her nimble, placid way. While one stalwart son on the hillside plowed, Another had gone to France. A daughter was fashioning cast-off clothes Into little Belgian pants. The mother was sewing to help Red Cross And saving on sugar and wheat, While her husband toiled at the big steel mill And seldom asked for meat. Outside in the yard by the lilac bush Were three little blue eyed scamps Who recently rifled their tiny banks To invest in more thrift stamps. Then granddad lifted his silvery head And thoughtfulli' looked around. Then his feeble hand sought out grandmama's And paused there when it was found. Then he asked of her, in his old cracked voice. If she knew what the papers meant When they asked for loyalty simon pure — A full one hundred per cent. Sheriff U. S. Pratt, John Palmer and Lieutenant James Colwell of Co.

G. to be present in Anoka on Memorial day and partici- pate in the parade here at that time. The occasion was taken to test the quick mobiUty of this organi- zation and a riot call was sent out over the tele- phone the day before and an accurate record kept. Company "F" from Rock Creek, Pine County, should have been about second or third, but could not be awarded that honor on account of having to travel by train. The other organizations traveled by automobile and bad roads and rain caused much delay and retarded the efforts of some of the com- panies to win higher honors. The band, not being yet completely organized, was not considered in the awards. At inspection in neatness of appearance and sol- dierly bearing the following awards were made: Company "E" first, Company "A" second, Com- XOX-COMMISSIOXED OFFICERS OF THF uTH 1"..\. M. H. G. For the benefit of those interested in the work of the Home Guard the following report, as pub- lished in all of the papers of the counties represented here, is given in full: The members of the 12th Battalion, Minnesota Home Guard, have every reason for feeling pleased with the result of the first attempt to mobilize the command. The order for mobilization was telegraphed to each company commander at 1:10 p. m. Wednesday. Company "A" was reached in one minute, the band leader in three minutes. Company "E" in four min- utes. Company "C" in six minutes, Company "D" in twelve minutes. Company "F" in fifteen minutes, and Company "B" in fifty minutes. The Company com- manders were order- ed to report back to headquarters as soon as every man in the company was notified. Company "A'' re- ported in thirty min- utes, Company "D" in one hour, Compa- ny "E" in one hour and ten minutes, Company "F"' in two hours and twenty-five minutes, the band in four hours and twenty-four min- utes. No reports were received from Company "B" and "C." The band is scattered over all of the company stations and is hard to reach quickly. The honors on mobilization, considering speed in reaching company commanders, speed in notifying all the men, speed in reporting, promptness in reach- ing company station, distance to travel to Anoka and promptness in arrival were awarded as fol- lows: Company "A" first, Company "C" second. Com- pany "E" third. Company "B" fourth, Company "D" fifth. Company "F" sixth. pany "C" third. Company "D" fourth, Company "B" fifth, Company "F" sixth. For the best drilled companies. Company "C" and Company "D" tied for first place. Company "F" second. Company "A" third, Company "B" fourth, and Company "E" fifth. In attendance at drill since organization Company "F' ranked first with a percentage of 98.7 per cent, Company "D" second with 97.7 per cent. Company "C" third with 96.5 per cent. Company "B" fourth with 95 per cent. Company "E" fifth with 94.3 per cent. Company "A" sixth with 77 per cent. Averaging all of the honors won for the day, including neatness in appearance at inspection, drill, attendance for the period since organization and record in mobiliza- tion, the following grand honors for Me- morial day have been awarded: First, Com- pany "C" of Elk Riv- er under command of Captain George H. Tyler; tied for second place, Company "A" of Anoka under com- mand of Captain Ar- thur L. Reed, and Company "D" of Cambridge under command of Captain Charles E. Morrell; third place, Company "E" of Osseo under command of Captain George Neumann; fourth place. Company "F" ot Rock Creek under command of Cap- tain Jesse Hammers; and fifth, Company "B" of Co- lumbia Heights under command of Captain Merrill E. Bean. The awards were made by Major W. A. Curtis, chief of staff to Brigadier General Rhinow, Major Stephens, in command of the Motor Reserve of Minnesota; Captain Naglee, in charge of physical training of Minnesota state troops, and Lieutenant Histed of Minneapolis. Rigid army standards were used. COMMISSIONED OFFICERS, 12TH BN., M. H. G. U'lTH THE COLORS FROM AXOKA COUXTY Six hundred and sixty-seven men reported at Anoka for duty. The hospital units under command of Capt. G. K. Hagaman, did not take part in the parade owing to the fact that they were detailed to keep autos away from the line of march near the pupils of the schools and for guard duty. Uniforms did not arrive for all of the band, so that only about a third of the band, which now numbers 82, played. Beside the splendid work which each officer and man did to make the day a success, the untiring efforts of Adjutant A. A. Kranhold, and Supply Officer J. C. W. Sellers, and Band Leader A. B. Hallin, deserve special mention. The duties of these three officers were heavy and continuous and that they acquitted themselves admirably is the unanimous verdict of the entire command. Company "A" put on guard mount in the evening, which the staff officers from St. Paul pronounced the best which they had ever seen either in Home Guard or National Guard organizations. Company "B" supplied the entertainment in the evening and five hundred loaves of bread — which was somewhat of a task. Company "C" gave the hop in the evening which was an unqualified success. Company "D" took care of the band concert and furnished a male quartette of 35 voices, both of which were fine. Company "E" fed the multitude with such speed and skill as to provoke unstinted praise. The following were guests of the Battalion for the dav and were entertained by M'rs. Chase, as- sisted by Mrs. J. C. W. Sellers: Mrs. Walter H. Rhinow, Major and Mrs. W. A. Curtis, Major and Mrs. W. R. Stephens, Captain and Mrs. Edward Karow of the Thirteenth Battalion, Captain Naglee, Lieutenant and M'rs. J. R. Histed and Miss Ablitt. George Green of Anoka very kindly arranged auto- mobile transportation for the guests. Mrs. John Hunter made a twelve-star mother's service flag out of an old silk discarded J. S. Cady Post flag that was in service some 30 years ago and had Mrs. Wm. Cowden, president of Mary A. Livermore Circle, present it to the Circle at their meeting Saturday, May 11th. The mothers and sons represented by the 12 stars are: Mrs. Wm. Cowden, 2 sons, Raymond and Walter; Mrs. Wm. Chamberlain, 2 sons, Ralph and Leon; Mrs. Joe Lund, 2 sons, Elmer and Lincoln; M|rs. Bowers, 2 sons, Howard and Glen; ]\Irs. S. McGaffey, 1 son, Harry: Mrs. Macomber, 1 son, Myron Faber; Mrs. Blanchard, 1 son, David; Mrs. Colburn, 1 son, Arthur. This service flag will have a prominent place in the Circle's hall and will be a constant reminder of the sacrifice that the mothers of the Mary A. Liver- more Circle have made in this awful struggle for human liberty. The graduating class of the High School devoted its funds to patriotic purposes that year. Every member of the High School was made a member of the Junior Red Cross with $64.60, two French war orphans were adopted for a year with $73.00, to the Athletic association was given $45.87 in War Savings Stamps and $85.00 was given to the Junior Red Cross. Arthur D. Caswell left June 8th for the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Dr. G. J. Hastings, veterinarian, was called for military service. During this time a strenuous political campaign was on. Governor J. A. A. Burnquist was seeking election upon a loyalty platform and as a Republi- can, I'red Wheaton was the Democratic candidate with an equally good record for loyalty. The Non- partisan League, the socialists and the pacifists and outwardly disloyal, were all backing a third can- didate whose record for open loyalty to America was said to be very meagre. For some time the Townleyites had striven to in- vade Anoka County but had not succeeded. As the last few days before the primaries drew near these people decided to come to Anoka anyhow, regardless of the consequences. The loyal people of the county were equally determined that they were not to bray within Anoka County. Sheriff Pratt was ready with his deputies to keep order. Bethel people were determined that the village should not be invaded by the trouble makers. When the first automobile loads of Townleyites reached Bethel they found, to their apparent chagrin, that a rousing loyalty meeting was in progress and that Raymond P. Chase was giving some hard facts regarding themselves and their activities which were unpleasant to their taste. Loyalists had signs pasted on each car stating "No slackers wanted in Anoka County." The invading disciples of pacifism had other kinds of signs which so displeased the good people of Bethel and vicinity that small boys who could grab them from the cars found a ready mar- ket for their trophies at ten to twenty-five cents each. A few fist fights in the street and some wrecked automobiles resulted. In the City of Anoka there was considerable excitement. The invaders were offered a chance to put on a speaker before the crowd if they would remain and listen to a patriotic speech afterwards, this their leaders refused to do. They were then bidden to begone and not tarry in taking said departure. Not a car left Anoka County with a sedi- tious pennant or banner. Many slunk home ashamed of having invaded a neigh- boring county where they were not wanted and others departed swearing venge- ance at the first opportun- ity. Some visited neigh- boring grog shops and went home late in the night too drunk to care who ruled America, the Kaiser of Ger- many or the will of honest American voters. That no one was killed and no serious injuries appeared is due to the self control of Anoka County people, that a riot of considerable size was narrowly averted, was conceded by many who witnessed the days' proceedings. The Home Guard was not called out, the sheriff and his deputies being in charge of the situation. James A. Peterson had been convicted of writing and publishing disloyal articles. He was a Minnea- polis man, known to many Anoka County people and was a candidate for United States Senator against Knute Nelson of Alexandria. In spite of his con- viction on the above charge, his name was on the ballot and the people of the state were given an opportunity to vote for him. It is to be regretted that 389 voters of Anoka County did thus vote. The fact that Senator Nelson received 1,802 votes in this county does not help much to wipe out the disgrace brought upon Anoka County by these 389 unthinking or disloyally inclined voters. Governor Burnquist carried the county by 1,788 to 547 for his opponent. These draftees were sent to the LTniversity of Minnesota June 15th; Call 599.— Lester Elliot Hewson.

Bond called a food conservation conference at the Green on June 23rd which was well attended. Mayor James B. Berry, Frank T. Wilson of Still- water and the local food administrator addressed the meeting and outlined plans for conserving food stuffs during the remainder of the year. The Bethel Banner thus recounted a farewell to some men of Linwood township which was typical of such functions in all parts of the county: "On Wednesday evening, June 12th, the Grange Hall in Linwood was the scene of a farewell party for Les- ter E. Hewson, Thomas Broadbent and Eugene Nu- gent, who have volunteered in the cause ol justice and humanity to serve Uncle Sam. The hall was beauti- fully decorated with stars and stripes. Two service flags were displayed, the Grange flag containing four stars and the community flag containing ten stars. In the early part of the evening R. P. Chase deliv- ered an address to the boys T> T,T7T>T>ir ^"^^ their loved ones, which JAMES B. BERRY ^^^ highly appreciated by the large crowd which filled the house to its capa- city. After the address the boys standing under the Stars and Stripes in the center of the hall were greeted, congratulated and given the best wishes of their many friends. The boys were then invited to lunch, the table being decorated with pink roses and yellow iris. The menu consisted of three kinds of sandwiches, fruit salad, potato salad, coffee, cookies, cake and ice cream. The honored guests with parents, brothers, sisters and sweethearts were served at the first table. During the time the boys were partaking of lunch a purse of money was col- lected and presented to them. The evening was then spent in music and dancing.

June 29th the proprietor of Forest Park, at Col- umbia Heights, gave the use of his place for a big patriotic gathering. The Triangle Film Corpora- WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 75 tion gave the use of the film and a splendid pro- gram resulted. The members of Co. "B" of the 12th Battalion, stationed there, sold three thousand tickets to the event. The proceeds were used to aid in the Heights war activities. The first of July a stringent sugar edict went into effect. But two pounds could be sold to a customer at a time and grocers were directed to report all sales weekly. The sugar and flour regulations soon developed a number of interesting characteristics among the people. Some took the matter as something not to be avoided and merely made light of it, doing the best they could to conserve, and these soon found that it was no hardship whatever. Others rushed about from one grocer to another seeking one unscrupulous enough to favor them with more than their share of the two commodities. While the names of these chaps are available for publication, their grandchildren, who are not to blame for their selfish antics, might sometime read these lines. To the credit of the grocers of the community, all stood pat on the war order in spite of threats of loss of patronage. Five registrants were entrained for Dunwoody: 75 Douglas p. Campbell.

Bethel 959 Paul Robert Strandin, Bethel On July 4th the people of Anoka County had two places where they might go to enjoy patriotic dem- onstrations. Lake George and Elk River. The an- nual Farmers' Club picnic was made the occasion of a great patriotic gathering, and at Elk River the 12th Battalion of Home Guards held its second mobilization of the season. It was esti»iated that upward of three thousand people were at Lake George and probably fully ten thousand were at the village of Elk River. Here are the two accounts of the affair: "Elk River had the largest crowd in the history of that town on Thursday when the 12th Battalion of the Minnesota Home Guard mobilized there in honor of Independence day. Each train during the morning and many hundreds of automobiles brought the soldiers and their fami- lies from all directions to swell the crowd. The morning parade led by the Battalion band with five of the seven companies in line, escorted the guests of honor. Immediately following the Battalion were Major W. E. Curtis, chief of staff to Brigadier General Rhi- now; Major J. E. Histed, Major Edward Karew, and Captain Nagelee. Then came automobiles with the veterans of the Civil War, their ladies, the Red Cross workers, many beautiful floats which won prolonged applause and many gaily decorated automobiles.

FROM ANOKA, AT ELK RIVER JULY 4TH, 191^ Lunch at noon was served cafeteria style under the management of Andrew Davis of Elk River. It was handled smoothly and efficiently. In the afternoon there was a splendid band con- cert and a patriotic address by Raymond P. Chase. At four o'clock the Battalion parade and review occured on the parade ground and this was reviewed by many thousands. Although only some six or seven hundred were willing to help the organization with a dime each. The ancient order of tight wads covered the surrounding hills and buildings. After the review there were sports, cafeteria sup- per, and at seven o'clock Company "A" put on guard mount and retreat in a manner worthy of high praise. In the evening there was a vaudeville entertain- ment and dancing completed the program. The following is the award of honors for the day: On neatness and appearance at inspection Com- pany "D" received first. Company "E" second. Com- pany "B" third. Company "C" fourth and Company "A" fifth. On drill Company "A" received first, with 87 per cent, Company "C" second with 813/i per cent, Com- pany "D" third with IdV^ per cent, and Companies "B" and "E" tied with lli/s. per cent each. On attendance at drill Company "E" has first place with 95.3 per cent for the month of June, Company "C" 89.5 per cent, second place; Company "D" 88 per cent, third place; Company "B" fourth place, 86 per cent, and Company "A" 74 per cent, fifth place. The grand honors for the day, therefore, go as follows: Company "D" of Cambridge first, Com- pany "E" of Osseo second, Company '"C" of Elk River third, and Company "A" of Anoka and Com- pany "B" of Columbia Heights, tied for fourth. Companies "F" from Rock Creek and "G" from North Branch not being present do not participate in the award of honors nor in the distribution of funds." On July 4th, a very large number of the members of the Farm Clubs of the county gathered at Eake George to enjoy the annual community picnic. The early unfavorable weather of the day did not in any way interfere with the crowd. Picnic dinners at noon, an able address, sports and dancing in the evening kept the crowd enter- tained during the day. The gathering was the usual unqualified success. The addresses by State Food Administrator Wilson and Hon. Homer L. Cassel of Pennsylvania, were patriotic and educational. The reading of the Dec- laration of Independence by Mrs. F. L. Salter was eloquent, and the tableaux "History of the Flag" by the boys and girls of Bethel and Linwood schools under the direction of the Misses Stake and Purmort, captivated the audience. The entire day's festivities were well planned and a credit to the committee having the task in hand. Free cofifee was furnished by the St. Francis Mercantile Co. and was pronounced superb. The prizes were paid in Thrift Stamps. Four hundred and forty-five pairs of socks were knit for the Red Cross in the month of June. Forrest Dudley, a former Anoka man, Sergeant- Major of the 10th Battalion, M. H. G., enlisted from St. Cloud in the Engineers at Columbus Bar- racks. The employees of the Anoka post office secured a tract of land and planted seven acres to beans. They were assisted by these contributions from patrons of the post office: J. L. Weaver & Son, two days work, man and team. Jas. H. McCardle, one day's work, man and team. A. D. W. Johnson, one bushel beans. W. H. LaPlant, one bushel of beans. Dave Pribble, one-half bushel of beans. Philip Peterson, one-half bushel of beans. Geo. McCauley, 20 lbs. of beans. John Palmer, 6 lbs. of beans. Mrs. Mary Cutter, 6 lbs. of beans. COMPANY B, .12 BN.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, ANOKA COUNTY WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 77 The Ladies' Guild of St. Stephen's church gave $50.00 to the Knights of Columbus and $40.00 to the Furlough huts in France. Miss Ruby Applebee left July first for France as a Red Cross nurse. B. O. Walters, mail carrier on route one, from Constance, sold War and Thrift Stamps to the amount of $2,155.49 in the month of June. Ninety men from Anoka, on July 9th went forth in the evening and slew the weeds which were threatening the post office bean plot. They made quick work of the task. Frank Fisher left Anoka with a quota of con- scripts from Minneapolis where he had registered. The ladies of the G. A. R. home organized for the knitting of socks and sewing for soldiers. Many of these women were nearly eighty years of age. Local garages decided to close each evening at six o'clock except Wednesday and Saturday and to remain closed all day Sunday to conserve labor. Dr. Emil Nelson of Minneapolis and Dr. D. C. Nelson of Brainerd left for Camp Grant and Camp Custer, respectively, in July. They are old Anoka County men.

An airplane was flying about over the city. These became so common a sight as to receive little or no attention later on, but the lirst was of great interest. Tt came from the newly established avia- tion field at Brooklyn Center, where Earle Brown of Minneapolis had very generously turned over his farm to the government for this purpose for the period of the war. This was but one of the num- erous patriotic things which Mr. Brown did for his country, but, as he is a resident of Minneapolis, they will have to be chronicled elsewhere. Captain E. P. Hyatt and Lieutenant ]"',dgar Good- rich were at home on leave in July for a few days and brought word from the .\noka men in camp to their many anxious relatives and friends. 78 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY July 25th these registrants were sent to Camp Grant to replace six men rejected: 699 Frank Christ Gores, Gladstone, Rt. 2 612 Jens Christ Jensen, Fridley 468 Joseph Prziborowski, Hugo 710 Alvin Gust Nybelin, Constance 813 Iver Benson.

Fourteen young women enrolled for this service: Misses Nellie Lapham, Charlotte Palmer, Loretta Dunn, Clare Green, Adelaide Brennen, Viola Peter- son, Mary Peterson, Alice Sward, Edna Porter, Elsie Newman, Anna Sward, Inez Honee, Eouise Dufner and Florence Collins. The first four named were ac- . cepted for the army school of nursing and had their equipment packed ready to leave when the armistice was signed. Miss Mary Peterson was sent to Philadelphia and others awaited call when needed. August 1st more drastic sugar regulations be- came effective, two pounds per person per month was the limit. Little envelopes appeared at res- taurants and hotels. Dr. E. V. Earson was called to service for August, having previously volunteered for duty with the Medical Corps. He closed up his office and pre- pared to leave but was not ordered to camp before the war ended. A number of the members of Company "A" volun- teered to aid the Red Cross by picking oakum for the surgical dressings classes. Saturday evening, August 3rd, Sheriff Pratt and several cars of deputy sheriffs went out over the county on a slacker drive. There were dances on at the various summer resorts and all were visited, including, Columbia Heights, CrookedLake, Cedar and Lake George. The preparations were made with such secrecy that the fact was not known that there was to be such a raid until each locality was surrounded and the men asked to produce their registration cards. More than fifteen hundred men were examined in the raid.

He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. York and lived in Anoka a few years prior to his enlistment in Min- neapolis.

They were largely visitors from neighboiring counties and from Minneapolis. All were after- wards checked up and only two men, one from Balsam Lake, Wisconsin, and one from Chicago, were reported to the Department of Justice. Up to August 1st, Mrs. E. B. Sherman of the Round Lake Auxiliary to the Red Cross, had knit seventeen sweaters and fifty-five pairs of socks for the soldiers. Rev. Perry Mitchell, a Champlin man was Chap- lain of the Carpathian and was on the boat when it was torpedoed and sunk. He was a survivor. H. L. Nearpass, a former superintendent of schools in Anoka, was in England doing Y. M. C. A. work. Russell Harold Ryerson and John Albin Nelson entrained for Syracuse August 5th. James Manning left July 26th for Camp Wads- worth. The government had ordered that all old wheat be sold by the farmer late in the spring. Most of the farmers did as directed. Early in August three Anoka County farmers were found by the food ad- ministration to still have wheat on hand. Mike Moos was fined $100, Mike Holzen $8.95 and Fred WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 79 Kluge $1.75, and the fines were turned into the Red Cross treasury. Owners of war gardens on south Ferry Street and adjacent streets held an auction for Red Cross on August 17th and about fifty dollars was realized therefrom. The loyalty of Anoka County farmers, who, in spite of the shortage of help and high wages, in- creased their crop acreages this year is well illus- trated by the following from the Minneapolis Jour- nal of August 11th: "Evidence of the patriotic response of Minnesota farmers to the government's appeal to them to aid in winning the war by increasing food production is given in first returns in the state-wide crop census ordered by the State Public Safety Commission under the direction of State Auditor J. A. O. Preus.

In many ways these days were harder for those at home than for the men on the battle front, for the latter had the ex- citement of the moment and the exaltation of battle to keep them going, while the former could merely work hard and give of what they had to help in the great battle for justice and liberty and right. It was with these things in mind that this tribute to both the home folks and the men at arms was written: THE RIGHT TO SING "AMERICA" The neighbors came To an humble home To mourn the soldier dead — A lad who fell In a Flanders fight, And they came with fear and dread. The neighbors knew That the old man's heart 80 PVITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY Had bothered him of late, And also knew That the mother too Had, indeed, not felt first rate. The neighbors feared That the dreadful news Might strike the old folks down. So they dropped in Just to sympathize And help by being aroun'. The old folks sat In their rocking chairs With a smile of sweet content. The neighbors saw And they straightway knew What those sweet smiles really meant. The old man spoke To the friendly folk, As he clasped his good wife's hand: "Maybe you've come Here to sympathize, And, maybe, you understand. "We loved our boy, He's our only son. The one great joy we had. But don't expect Us to rail at fate Or appear downcast and sad. "It's a proud, proud day For his ma and pa That the lad has done so well. Though hearts may yearn O'er the bloody spot Where our dear soldier fell. "He gave his life For his country's flag. He proved himself a man. And it's good to feel That he stood the test Of a real American. "And when folks sing 'America' Or that mighty 'Battle Hymn' We will feel that we Have a right to rise And sing those songs for him." August 23rd a Red Cross benefit was given at the Stadium in which the following people took part: Mrs. Ruth LaPlant Reid, Mrs. J. S.

Memorial services were held at Elk River for Private Leo McBride, who lived in Anoka just previous to enlisting, on August 13th. He died in France from wounds received in action. Frank H. Koos, of Anoka, was commissioned Cap- tain in the 12th Battalion, M'HG, and assigned to the command of the Headquarters company. Fifty- one members of the Home Guard band met at Lake George on August 18th to rehearse. F. E. Till- burg donated the pavilion, lunch and cigars for the men. Band men were present from Cambridge, Braham, St. Francis, Elk River, Columbia Heights, and an afternoon concert was given. The following registrants left for Camp Wads- worth, S.

The request seemed strange to many — as strange as the closing down of business the previous January in order to save coal of which there afterwards appears never to have been a shortage — a real shortage. But the people readily responded to the request City of Anoka, 1st ward, W. E. Bates, chief regis- trar; H. C. Tartt, John Dunn, assistant registrars.

Early in the day Chief Haley, with a generous supply of yellow cards, stationed himself at the junction of main and Ferry Streets and halted every passing auto, took the number of the car and gave to the driver a duplicate card which read: "License No. , Anoka, Minnesota, September 1st, 1918. A duplicate of this card will be placed in the office of the Minnesota Commission of Public Safety as a record of your patriotism. Are you an American or a Hun?" The reception of the "yellow cards" by the vari- ous drivers of the cars were decidedly amusing, some were peeved, some grouched and others dis- mayed, various excuses were made for their seem- ing disloyalty. Private Gaylord Leach, son of a former pastor of the Baptist church, was killed in action in France July 31st. Preparations were under way for the registration of the men between eighteen and forty-five, inclu- sive. September 12th was the date set for this registration and these are the men selected to record the man power of the county on that occasion: Town of Linwood, S. C. Broadbent; Stillman Holden. Town of Oak Grove, Joseph B. Gallagher; Archie Butts, Wm. Sims. Town of Ramsey, J. V. Overbaugh; Henry Wilson, Walter Bradley. Town of St. Francis, Robert E. Leathers; W. H. Robinson. September 13th there was another Red Cross concert arranged by Mrs. J. S. Lawson, with Henry J. Williams, Mrs. S. H. Morse, S. H. Morse, on the program. Mrs. A. E. Giddings, city chairman of the Woman's Council of National Defense, called upon all women engaged in all occupations except teaching and household work to register on September 21st or 22nd in order to furnish data for the use of the Red Cross and Public Safety Commission. September 12th was a great day in Anoka County when the old duffers and the kids were given a chance to register for service in exterminating the Huns. There were mighty few, if any, men who were allowed to register, who did not do so. Indeed, the registration was so much larger than expected that many precincts called for additional supplies long before the day was over. 82 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY Here is a summary of the registrations: First ward 115 Second ward 95 Third ward 98 Town of Anoka 59 Town of Bethel 86 Village of Bethel 26 Town of Blaine 66 Town of Burns 99 Town of Centerville 81 Village of Centerville 21 Village of Columbia Heights 363 Town of Columbus 53 Town of Fridley 71 Town of Grow 63 Town of Ham Lake 58 Town of Lfinwood 46 Town of Oak Grove 73 Town of Ramsey 67 Town of St. Francis 69 Late cards 16 Total 1614 Native born 1177 Naturalized citizens 148 Citizens by father's naturalization before regis- trant's majority 74 Declarants 150 Non-declarants ► 65 And here is a complete list of the men who regis- tered: LIST OF PERSONS WHOSE REGISTRATION CARDS ARE IN THE POSSESSION OF THIS LOCAL BOARD 13 24 31 88 114 I 52 98 40 22 65 32 77 41 35 91 107 17 67 no 54 15 66 26 7 71 75 87 86 28 "5 97 99 10 5 30 :oi 46 27 20 90 29 106 83 9 49 72 4 108 44 CITY OF ANOKA— FIRST WARD Amick, Hugh, Anoka, Minn.

Caswell, chairman for the second Red Cross, announced that the pledges totaled $17,696.14 and that the collections to date amounted to $10,246.02. Many Anoka business men, during September, went out to farms in the county to help harvest the crops. The money which the farmers paid them for their services was turned over to the Red Cross. No list was ever kept of these men as many did not even notify those in charge of this work that they had thus done their bit to help on the food situation. Miss lyOretta O'Connor completed the teaching of a class of women in the home care of the sick. The following took the course and graduated as qualified for active service: Mrs. Elizabeth Ward, Mrs. Alice Bell, Mrs. Ella Pinney, Misses Amanda Moberg, Ella Foxwell, Bertha Gow, Irene Ward, Hannah Peterson, Mary Coleman, Gertrude Coleman. The following registrants left Thursday, Septem- ber 19th, for Camp Grant, Illinois, to replace re- jected registrants: WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 91 C. S.

Privates Ray E. McCHn- tic and Wm. R. Husby were assigned as military clerks connected with the Anoka County Local Board and the Anoka County Medical Advisory Board. These clerks were stationed at Fort Snelling and were ordered to report to Anoka for duty by Major J. P. Snyder of the Adjutant General's office. Early in September ill health caused Theodore A. Nelson to resign from the draft board. His place was taken by C. S. Hosmer. The draft board's quarters were moved September 20th to the City Hall. Mrs. G. K. Hagaman, chairman of the Belgian Relief Committee, undertook a drive for garments, shoes, stockings, soft felt hats, and caps, to be sent September 30th to the women and children of Belgium and northern France. The 12th Battalion, MHG, held its third mobiliza- tion at Cambridge on September 19th, and, as two Anoka County companies participated, an account of the event is included herewith: A large tract of land was needed for the skirmish drill of the morning. W. S. Louden, a patriotic citizen of the town, owned an ideal tract of land for the purpose and generously gave the use of it to the Battalion, furnishing an automobile from which to inspect the place and prepare it for use. At nine o'clock Co. "F" of Rock Creek arrived, the first out-of-town company to appear, thus win- ning the extra ten dollar prize awarded the com- pany, stationed outside of Cambridge, which ar- rived first and reported for duty. Co. "G" arrived next from North Branch, closely followed by Co. "C" of Elk River, and Co. "A" of Anoka. Co. "B" of Columbia Heights, with a large number of men in line, thereby winning the largest share of the proceeds, came in two huge vans and a long train of automobiles. The Headquarters company trickled into town from all points soon after and at half past ten, in regimental formation with Capt. A. L. Reed commanding the First Bat- talion, Capt. M. E. Bean the Second, and Capt. C. E. Morrell the Third, the command paraded the town and set ofif on a four mile hike to engage in a skir- mish along the river, west of the town. The band rehearsed during the morning, sixty strong under the supervision of Capt. Frank H. Koos, Lt. A. B. Hallin and_ Lt. L. O. Carlson. Lt. A. L Rodgers acted as Adjutant of the Battalion. The skirmish was interesting and of value. The hospital unit had experience in handling the wounded, the signal corps with the field telegraph and flags did good service. Returning to town at one o'clock, half an hour was given to picnic lunch. Governor J. A. A. Burnquist arrived at two o'clock to review the command. He was attended by Capt. Wright, of the Adjutant General's stafT, the latter acting as reviewing and inspecting officer. After the Review the Battalion was manouvered for five minutes, followed by company manouvers lasting fifteen minutes. The Governor then addressed the great crowd that had assembled. He was then entertained by Senator and Mrs. Blomgren at dinner. Co. "D" and Co. "B" played a football game which was won by the former. In the evening Co. "D" put on a sham battle which was exceptionally well staged. The colored lights. the rockets, roar of cannon and rattle of musketry, all tended to make the scene very realistic. The honors were awarded as follows: In percentage of men present at mobilization, Company "B" was first. Headquarters Company second. Company "D" third. Company "F" fourth, Company "G" fifth. Company "C" sixth, Company "A" seventh. Company "E" of Osseo, failed to ap- pear at all. In drill at mobilization, Company "A" won first, Company "B" second, Company "D" third. Head- quarters Company fourth. Company "C" fifth, Com- pany "F" sixth. Company "G" seventh. In weekly attendance at drill since last mobiliza- tion. Company "D" won first, Company "G" second. Company "B" third. Company "C" fourth. Head- quarters Company fifth. Company "F" sixth and Company "A" seventh. The average percentage resulting from the above gave Company "B" first honors with 1.75 per cent, Company "D" second with 2.25 per cent. Headquar- ters Company third with 3.75 per cent. Company "A" fourth with 4.5 per cent. Company "C" fifth with 5 per cent. Company "G" sixth with 5.25 per cent, and Company "F" seventh with 5.5 per cent. Company "D" of Cambridge won special mention for its splendid appearance and the sham battle which it gave in the evening. NOTICE To Every Person in Loyal Anoka County Set.tnnb«r 24lh. 1 9 Id.

All the recognition which these will ever have has been expressed in the formal thanks of the government which thanks they have received. They are the persons who have aided the Ameri- can secret service and the Department of Justice, aids of the American Protective League and of the Minnesota Commission of Public Safety. Their deeds cannot be recounted in this book and their names may not be made public, but the service which they have rendered must be noted in a general way. In the United States, during the war, there were 250,000 men giving their time to this sort of war work, and some of it was mighty near real work. From these sources the bureau of investigation of the Department of Justice averaged more than 1,500 reports and complaints a day. Nearly 40,000 slackers were rounded up and in- ducted into service. De- serters were apprehended, some in Anoka County, and turned over to the de- partment. Pro-huns were watched, wheat hoarders detected, violators of the food regulations cautioned to be more circumspect and a general eye kept on any inclined to yearn for trouble. The American Medical Women's Hospital Asso- ciation had a representa- tive in the city of Anoka in the person of Dr. Flora L. S. Aldrich. This asso- ciation is composed of four thousand women a.nd these women managed, financed, equipped and staffed three large hospitals in Belgium, France and Serbia. All of the expenses of these three hospitals were met by these women and the work, undertaken at the out-break of the war, is still being continued under the direction of the Red Cross. Dr. Aldrich was state chairman for the Belgian Infant Relief committee. The gathering of books and magazines to send to the soldiers for use during the very few idle hours in camp, was a service in which Anoka participated. For this purpose $200.00 was raised in the comity. The teachers gathered a large share of the fund. DR. FLORA L. S. ALDRICH 122 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY there was a tag day at the County Fair in the Fall of 1917 and Mrs. Georgia A. Goss solicited the rest in individual subscriptions. Mrs. Goss had charge of the gathering of books to send to the camps. The first shipment consisted of 136 books and was sent on September 17th, 1917 to Camp Cody. An- other large shipment soon followed. The last ship- ment was sent out Decem- ber 1st, 1918 to the State Library Commission and brought the total number 'h'p\ of books collected and shipped up to 400. G. H. Goodrich had charge of the gathering of magazines for this same purpose. He was assisted by an active committee and a ton of magazines were sent, largely to Camp Cody, some to Fort Snel- ling. Several Anoka County boys were with the 151st Field Artillery. For that reason space is given for this communication: G. H. GOODRICH Headquarters, 42nd Division, American Expeditionary Forces, France, November 15th, 1918. My Dear Colonel: At the conclusion of the operations in which we have been constantly engaged together since Sep- tember, I find the opportunity to express what I have often felt during that period — my genuine ap- preciation of the support the 151st Field Artillery and yourself have always accorded the 84th Infantry Brigade. It has been invaluable and most reassuring. The rapidity with which you have brought the ele- ments of your command to the aid of the 84th In- fantry Brigade, the speed and precision with which you have opened fire, the closeness with which your artillery, despite nearly im,passable roads, blown out bridges, difficult terrain, rain, mud and enemy fire, has followed up the rapid movements and shifts of the infantry, have been recognized with pleasure and a sure sense of gratitude by all elements and individuals of my command. The 151st Field Artillery has fired accurately, rapidly and whenever requested. Its liaison with the infantry has been intimate, daring and most sat- isfactory. Its personnel is magnificent. The cour- tesy and professional attainments of its officers are exceptionally fine. It has at all times been abreast of the highest standards of gallantry and technical skill. Now, as the field of their successful struggles for Hills 288, 242 and the Cote de Chatillion and Landres- et-St. Georges lies about the division during its re- assembly, the accuracy and power of the fire of your regiment on the enemy organizations, wire and sensitive points, in this steep and tangled ter- rain, are unrolled before the troops who made the fight, with a poignancy that increases, if that is pos- sible their confidence in your command. I desire to compliment you on commanding the 151st Field Artillery and the Regiment on having such a Colonel. Very Sincerely, Douglas MacArthur. To Colonel George E. Leach, Commanding 151st Field Artillery. A little information regarding the organization of the armies and navies of the United States might prove interesting to those whose relatives were in the service during the war. It should be kept in mind that army regulations are being changed from time to time and probably always will be as long as the profession of arms is a part of the machinery of civilization. The data here given is accurate up to the time of the writing of this part of this book, late in the summer of 1918, and possibly very few important changes will have been made before its publication. The army consists of the Regular Army, a per- manent Federal Force made up of men who enlisted for given periods and are paid during the war a minimum of $30 a month, with higher pay according to rank, the National Guards of the various states which were federalized under an act of Congress of June 3rd, 1916, and the National Army which is com- posed of men drafted from the United States, be- tween the ages of 21 and 31. The Regular Army is officered by men who have graduated from the West Point Military Academy or who have gained their commissions from the ranks. They are commissioned by the President of the United States with the exception of Lieutenant- General and General, who are commissioned by Con- gress. National Guard officers of the states were com- missioned by the Governors of the states. National Army officers were either selected from the two groups above or commissioned after courses at of- ficer's training camps. In the summer of 1918 all of these three groups were designated the United States Army to avoid confusion. The registration of June 5th, 1917, totaled 9,659,382 men. From these were selected 687,000 men for the first draft for the National Army. Beside the above there was the Officer's Reserve Corps and the Enlisted Reserve Corps. The officers were assigned variously throughout the army and the enlisted men from the reserve were trained and given duty in the Quartermaster Corps, Engi- neer Corps, Ordnance Corps, Signal Corps, etc. The regiments of the Regular Army were num- bered from 1 to 100, the National Guard from 101 to 300, and of the National Army from 301 on up. The Brigades of the Regular Army were numbered from 1 to 50, National Guard from 51 to 150, Na- tional Army from 151 up. The Divisions of the Regular Army were numbered from 1 to 25, National Guard 26 to 75, National Army 76 up. For purposes of administration Minnesota was grouped with West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Michi- gan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin. North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado in the Central Department with head-' quarters at Chicago, Illinois. The main mobile fighting units of the army are the Infantry, Field Artillery and Cavalry, the last named being used very little in the war. To these might be added the fighting aviators. The first three are known as "the line." The Infantryman or "doughboy" depends upon his own shanks for his transportation, except when cov- ering great distances in a very short time. Then he is piled into a box car, a motor truck or whatever vehicle may be at hand. He has something of a load to carry on his back at best. Here are some of the things which he has to pack about with him: Rifle, bayonet, scabbard, belt, bacon can, canteen, canteen cover, condiment can, cup, fork, haversack, knife, meat can, spoon, first aid pouch, shovel, shovel carrier, oiler and thong case, gun sling, pack car- rier, front sight cover, cartridges, blanket, poncho, half a shelter tent, five tent pins, tooth brush, soap WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 123 and towels, underwear, extra socks, steel helmet, gas mask, and a few other odds and ends. Some of the troops carry axes and pick-mattocks instead of shovels. At best the usual load of the infantry- man runs from fifty to seventy-five pounds. The Field Artillery has played a conspicuous part in the great war. The artillery has been called upon to pave the way for the advance of the infantry. The Field Artillery is in no way less mobile than the infantry and became so expert in moving the pieces and in accurately placing barrages or curtains of fire ahead of the advancing troops that many lives were saved in the attacks and many otherwise impregnable positions taken by infantrymen. And yet, at the opening of the war, it is stated, that there were in the United States but 160 trained Field Artillery officers who had had a year of ex- perience in Regular or National Guard units. The Coast Artillery is not a part of the mobile force of the country. It is used for the protection of our coast line and guns of great size and large calibre are used. The heavy field artillery is made up of units using larger and more cumbersome cannon. In the artillery the unit is a battery which is subdivided into platoons and the platoons in turn are divided into sections. Mathematics enter very largely into the training of an artillery officer. A working knowledge of plane and spherical trigonometry is needed in order to qualify for this job and that, pos- sibly, is why the artillery has been rated just under the engineers in the service. The Staff Corps is a very essential part of the military machine and probably as little understood generally as any branch of the service. A glance at a plan of organization may be helpful. The General Staff Corps is headed by a Chief of Staff. It is the duty of this department to study military problems, plan national defenses, mobiliza- tions, and officers from the General Staff Corps are detailed t» aid the generals in the field. The Adjutant General's Department keeps the records of the officers and men and is managed by the Adjutant General. Orders emenate from this de- partment and here the correspondence of the army is centered. An Adjutant is attached to each batta- lion and to each regiment to keep these records and look after similar duties. The Inspector General's Department is in charge of an Inspector General and his force inspects prop- erty, the fitness of officers and men, equipment, supplies and audit accounts. The legal department of the army is the Judge Advocate General's Department. Here military law holds sway. In this department is also included the Provost Marshal General's Department under which the selective service or draft was worked out. It also includes the Military Police and the Provost Guard which keep order in camps and cantonment*. This department has charge of all prisoners of war as well and looks after their records. The Quartermaster Corps has charge of transpor- tation, moving of troops and war materials and dis- tributes the pay of the officers and men. The Medical Department has general charge of sanitation and includes the Dental Corps, Hospital Corps, Army Nurses Corps, Sanitary Corps, Veter- inary Corps and Ambulance Corps. A Surgeon Gen- eral is in command. The Engineers Corps deals with the construction of bridges and roads, intrenchments, camps, canton- ments, and builds forts and lays mines, etc. The Ordnance Department supplies the fighting men with guns and ammunition. The Signal Corps takes care of the transmission of mesages by signaling, by wire or wireless, by airplanes, balloons, etc. The Aviation is also in the Signal Corps and is used to secure information, drop bombs, scout and all manner of service of that sort. The rapid evolution of warfare has developed sev- eral new units undreamed of a few years ago. Among these are the gas and flame service, water supply service, surveying and printing services, road ser- vice, army pontoon service, forestry service, quarry service, and dozens of others. The variety of hat cords worn by the men has been very confusing to most people. A general of- ficer's hat cord is all gold, a field officer's is gold and black with gold tipped tassel, a line officer's gold and black, a reserve officer at a training camp, red, white and blue, the infantryman's cord is light blue, artillery scarlet, service school detachment, green, cavalry, yellow, engineer's scarlet and white, quartermaster corps, buff, ordnance, black and scar- let, signal corps, orange and white, medical depart- ment, maroon and white, staff departments, black, field clerk, silver and black, Y. M. C. A., steel blue, and Home Guard, Maroon. The pay in the army is as follows: General $10,000 per year Lieutenant General 9,000 " Major General 8,000 " " Brigadier General 6,000 " " Colonel 4,000 " " Lieutenant-Colonel 3,500 " " Major 3,000 " " Captain 2,400 " " First Lieutenant 2,000 " " Second Lieutenant 1,700 " " Officers have to purchase their own uniforms but have certain allowances for quarters, heat and light, have a ten per cent increase of pay every five years and ten per cent increase for overseas service. All privates are paid thirty dollars a month, first class privates receive thirty-three; corporals, sad- dlers, wagoners, farriers, and third class musicians receive thirty-six; sergeants in the line, cooks, horse- shoers, band corporals, musicians of second class, radio sergeants and firemen receive thirty-eight; sergeants of the various corps, band sergeants, mu- sicians of the first class, color sergeants and elec- trical sergeants receive forty-four; battalions ser- geant-major, sergeant buglers, master gunners re- ceive forty-eight dollars; regimental sergeant-major, regimental supply sergeants, quartermaster ser- geants, ordnance sergeants, first sergeants, battalion sergeant-majors, sergeants of the first class, all re- ceive fifty-one dollars; first class sergeants of the Medical Corps receive fifty-six dollars; hospital ser- geants and master engineers, junior grade, get sev- enty-one dollars a month; band leaders, etc., receive eighty-one dollars a month. All uniforms and equip- ment are furnished the men. Men drafted for the National Army were sent to the following cantonments which are said to have cost the following sums to build and equip: Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Michigan $ 8,700,000 Camp Devens, Ayer, Massachusetts 9,700,000 Camp Dix, Wrightstown, New Jersey 8,500.000 Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa 6,800,000 Camp Funston, Tunction City, Kansas 8,700,000 Camp Gordon.

Texas 6,700,000 Camp Upton, Yaphank, New York 11,100,000 Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ky 7,000,000 124 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY The camps to which the men of the various Na- tional Guards were sent were also very largely in the south and were mostly tented cities costing not nearly so much money. The total cost of equipping the National Guard camps was about sixty-eight million dollars the first year. These camps were located thus: Camp Beauregard at Alexandria, Louisiana. Camp Bowie at Fort Worth, Texas. Camp Cody at Deming, New Mexico. Camp Doniphan, Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Camp Greene at Charlotte, North Carolina. Camp Hancock, Augusta, Georgia. Camp Kearney at Linda Vista, California. Camp Logan at Houston, Texas. Camp McArthur, Waco, Texas. Camp JN'IcClellan, Anniston, Alabama. Camp Mills, Miineola, New York.

Officers for the vast army were trained in several series of officer's training camps. The first series was opened on May ISth, 1917, and twenty-seven thousand officers were commissioned. These camps were at Plattsburg, New York;. Madison Barracks, New York; Fort Niagara, New York; Fort Meyer, Virginia; Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia; Fort McPher- son, Georgia; Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana; Fort Sheridan, Illinois; Fort Logan H. Roots, Ar- kansas; Fort Snelling, Minnesota; Fort Riley, Kan- sas; Leon Springs, Texas; Presidio at San Francisco, California. June 18th, 1917, an officer's training camp for negro officers was opened at Des Moines, Iowa. The second series of officer's training camps was opened August 27th, 1917 and produced eighteen thousand officers. The camps were at Plattsburg, Niagara, Meyer, Oglethorpe, Harrison, Sheridan, Snelling, Leon Springs, and Presidio. The third began January 5th, 1918, and at these men selected from the best of the men in training at camps and cantonments were given a chance to win commissions. Concentration camps cost about thirty-one million dollars and were located at Camp Merritt, Hoboken, New Jersey and Camp Stuart, New Port News, Vir- ginia. Medical officer's training camps were at Allen- town, Pennsylvania for the ambulance corps, at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Fort Des Moines for colored officers, at Fort Oglethorpe and Fort Riley. Engineer officers began their training September 5th, 1917, at American University, Washington; Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and Vancouver Barracks, Washington. Officers and men for the Quartermaster Corps began training January 5th, 1918 at Camp Joseph E. Johnston at Jacksonville, Florida. This camp cost the country $6,000,000 to build. The artillery school at Fort Sill, Oklahoma cost $680,000. During the war a number of changes have been made in the organization of the army. For the pur- pose of making the terms used in this book more easily understood, this information is offered: An Army Corps is 60,000 men. An Infantry Division is 19,000 men. An Infantry Brigade is 7,000 men. A Regiment of Infantry is 3,000 men. A Battalion is 1,000 men. A Company is 250 men. A Platoon is 60 men. A Corporal's Squad is 8 men. A Field Battery has 195 men. A Firing Squad is 20 men. A Supply Train has 283 men. A Machine Gun Battalion has 296 men. A Regiment of Engineers has 1,098 men. An Ambulance Company has 66 men. A Field Hospital has 55 men. A Major General commands a Field Arifiy and also each Army Corps. A Brigadier General commands an Infantry Bri- gade. A Colonel commands a Regiment and is assisted by a Lieutenant-Colonel. A Major commands a Battalion of Infantry. A Captain commands a Company. Next in rank are First Lieutenant, Second Lieu- tenant. WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 125 The insignia worn by officers and men in the army is confusing to most people who are unfamiliar with things military These cuts were very kindly loaned for use in this book by Rand, McNally & Co., of Chicago. The rank of General has been vacant since the Civil war. General Pershing was the first ofi^icer elevated to that rank during the present war, in the United States Army. He was commissioned General in 1917. The following insignia is worn on the shoulder loop which is fastened to the collar by means of a bronze metal button bearing the coat of arms of the United States.

Private Hall was a member of the celebrated "Lost Battalion" destined to become renowned as the "Light Brigade" of the Crimea, But Private Hall can tell his story better him- self and did so in the paper above referred to, thus: "On September 27th, I was called with nine others to act as battalion runners, that is to convey mes- sages from one command to another along the line ■of fire. We ten took our posts the afternoon and evening of the 27th. At ten o'clock on the 28th the infantry again assumed the offensive, the boys of the 77th meeting with the greatest resistance from the kaiser's guard regiments, every man of whom seemed to have a machine gun. The fire was ter- rific. It took the 308th two hours to clean up a machine gun nest in this particular spot and from that time on we had clear sailing. "We ran into a German village of dugouts and cleaned up that and investigated the place for hid- den machine guns and then moved on. The place was also a railhead for a German narrow gage rail- way. "On September 30th the 77th had a skirmish that developed into a regular battle. It took place in a German cemetery where the German dead of the great Verdun offensive were buried. Here the fight- ing grew so fast and furious that we runners were recalled and I was attached to a machine gun outfit as ration and ammunition man. "On October 2nd, after the cemetery scrap, we advanced over the hill into the valley of the Meuse, or one of its tributaries, I do not remember which. Here we had very heavy fighting trying to cap- ture a German road and we consolidated in battle formation once again to break the German front. The 92nd Division, colored, was on our left and we started after the Germans. "But the colored boys got rattled in the advance of Wednesday and, as we were in a deep woods, "blew up." Whether they were pushed back by the Prussian Guard or whether they retreated of their own free will, we will never know, but I do know this that 700 of us doughboys were suddenly isolated in an area two blocks square with Germans on both sides of us. We sent out runners but they never came back, we sent up flares and sent up car- rier pigeons and in/ this manner the Yanks learned of our plight two hours after we had been sur- rounded, "From the night of Wednesday, October 2nd, to the night of Monday, October 7th, our battalion was isolated on the northern slope of a bleak un- sheltered ravine with the German army on the cliff above us and with a powerful German detachment deeply intrenched on the other side of the ravine so close that we could hear the calls of the officers to the men, "When night settled over the forest on Monday our situation was desperate. What little food we had with us was gone on the second day. For three days we ate plug tobacco and chewed on the leaves of the underbrush, it was a good thing that poison ivy was not a native of France, For water we had to depend upon a muddy stream at the bot- tom of the ravine, and on one clear spring that JVITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 129 bubbled there invitingly, but each trip to it meant exposure to the snipers. "More than one of our boys fell victim to a Hun sharpshooter in a tree position on the other side of the ravine looking down upon us. What few blankets and overcoats there were, which had not been discarded in the first fine rush which carried the ravine, had long since gone to wrap up the wounded. Our dead and wounded lay with us on the hillside. But 273 of our men came out of this scrap without wounds. "We were drenched to the skin and weak from hunger and long exposure to the chill October wind. Major Whittelsey, our commander, and a man none of the 700 Yanks will ever forget, a real man, sent out nine Yanks to try to cut through the Ger- man lines to the rest of the 77th. But six were killed and three taken prisoner, two of these latter were sent back to try to get us to surrender. "Then the Germans sent out an envoy, under a white flag, to ask us to surrender or be killed to a man and our Major sent back the good American answer 'Tell them to go to hell.' We Yanks then prepared to do a Custer finish. "From that time until we were relieved, we fought off three Hun attacks with machine gun, rifle and bayonet. We could not have held out much longer as we were out of machine gun ammunition. We knew in our hearts that the rest of the boys were not very far away below us in the forest and trying to reach us. We saw planes coming to look for us in the fog and trying to drop food to us but all that reached us was a package of chocolate and a bundle of the 'Stars and Stripes' the army news- paper. "Our battalion awaited its fourth attack without much hope and many of the boys were writing farewell letters home. There were some thanks whispered shyly for little unchronicled acts of kind- ness which the week had witnessed. Here and there some men promised to kill each other if it came to a question of capture. "Then from out of the darkness on October 7th we heard a voice calling 'Alajor Whittlesey! Majo*- Whittlesey!' The boys along the line could hear him answer from his hole in the ground. "'Major, We've got here!' The whisper was ex- ultant. "'We're upon your right, we're here!' Then a pause. "'And — we've brought some rations for the boys!' "There was a moment of absolute silence, and then all alongside of the ravine could be heard gusts of hysterical laughter. "Relief had come! "We were happy, tired and cold but we lay down where we could and rested. I slept until 11:30 the next morning when my buddy woke me up with orders that we were moving. As I was sleepily stretching a German whizbang came along and T got my blighty. A shrapnel fragment had lodged in my hip and I was destined for the hospital." Private Hall has the original of the last message which he carried from Colonel Smith to Major Whittlesey just before the battalion was lost. It says: "Did your troops move forward at 6 o'clock? Keep me informed." Writing to relatives. Private Gunnard .Anderson of Cedar tells of this same event from another angle, thus: "I am going to tell you the story of the big drive which I went through. The first was through the Argonne Woods where we fought against ma- chine guns. And if you read in the papers where the 308th Infantry was in a German trap and al- most wiped out, you may be interested to know that we were the one who fought our way through and got them out. We are the 307th Infantry. They are the same unit. There was one Battalion and one Company in the trap and they were there for seven days without food. We also took in Grandpre, and that was some battle. We were relieved by the 78th Division. We were at Docort, Arrocort, Raycort, and as far as the Meuse river and nearly at Sedan. We have been through the mill alright, I know now what it is to be in a war and I'll never forget it either." So many Anoka County lads were engaged in the ]\Ieuse-Argonne offensive which really broke the back of the Hun, that the following report of that campaign, as written by General John J. Pershing, is given here. It is taken from the Stars and Stripes, the army newspaper overseas and is a part of his official report. Here it is: "On the day after we had taken the Saint Mihiel salient, much of our corps and army artillery which had operated at Saint Mihiel, and our divisions in reserve at other points, were already on the move toward the area back of the line between the Meuse river and the western edge of the forest of Argonne. With the exception of Saint IMihiel. the old German front line from Switzerland to the east of Rheims was still intact. In the general attack planned all along the line, the operation assigned the American Army as the hinge of this Allied offensive was di- rected toward the important railroad communica- tions of the German armies through Mezieres and Sedan. The enemy must hold fast to this part of his lines or the withdrawal of his forces with four years accumulation of plants and material would be dangerously imperiled. The German army had as yet shown no demoral- ization, and, while the mass of its troops had sufifered in morale, its first class divisions and notably its machine gun defense were exhibiting remarkable tactical efficiency as well as courage. The German general staff was fully aware of the consequences of a success on the Meuse-.\rgonne line. Certain that he would do everything in his power to oppose us. the action was planned with as much secrecy as possible and was undertaken with the determina- tion to use all our divisions in forcing a decision. We expected to draw the best German divisions to our front and consume them while the enemy was held under grave apprehension lest our attack should break his line, which it was our firm purpose to do. Our right flank was protected by the Meuse, while our left embraced the Argonne forest, whose ravines, hills and elaborate defenses screened by dense thickets, had been generally considered impregnable. Our order of battle from right to left was the Third Corps from the Meuse to Malancourt, with the 33rd, 80th and Fourth Divisions in line, and the Third Division as corps reserve: the I'ifth corns from Mal- ancourt to Vauquois, with the 70th. 37th and 91st Divisions in line and the 32nd Division in corps reserve and the First corps from Vauquois to Vicnne de Chateau, with the 3.Sth, 28th and 77th Divisions in line and the 92nd in corps reserve. The army reserve consisted of the I'irst, 29th and 82nd Divi- sions. On the night of September 2.Sth our troops quietly took the place of the French, who thinly held the line in this sector which had long been inactive. In the attack, which began on the 26th. we drove through the barbed wire entanglements and the sea of shell craters across Xo Man's Land, mastering all the first line of defenses.

We had taken 10,000 prisoners, we had gained our point of forcing the battle into the open, and were prepared for the enemy's reaction which was bound to come as he had good roads and ample railroad facilities for bringing up his artillery and reserves. In the chill rain of dark nights our engineers had to build new roads across spongy, shelltorn areas, repair broken roads beyond No Man's Land, and build bridges. Our gunners, with no thought of sleep, put their shoulders to wheels and drag- ropes to bring their guns through the mire in sup- port of the infantry now under the increasing fire of the enemy's artillery. Our attack had taken the enemy by surprise, but quickly recovering himself, he began fierce counterattacks in strong force, sup- ported by heavy bombardments with large quantities of gas. From September 28th until October 4th we maintained the ofifensive against patches of woods defended by snipers and continuous lines of machine guns, and pushed forward our guns and transport seizing strategical points in preparation for further attacks. The Allied progress elsewhere cheered the efforts of our men in this crucial contest as the German command threw in more and more first class troops to stop our advance. We made a steady headway in the almost impenetrable and strongly held Ar- gonne forest, for, despite his reinforcements, it was our army that was doing the driving. Our aircraft was increasing in skill and numbers and forcing the issue, and_ our infantry and artillery were improving rapidly with each new experience. The replacements fresh from home were put into exhausted divisions with little time for training, but they had the advantage of serving beside men who knew their business and who had almost become veterans overnight. The enemy had taken every advantage of the terrain which especially favored the defense, by a prodigal use of machine guns _ manned by highly trained veterans and by using his artillery at short ranges. In the face of such strong frontal positions we should have been unable to accomplish any progress according to pre- viously accepted standards, but I had every con- fidence in our aggressive tactics and the courage of our troops. On October 4th, the attack was renewed all along our front. The Third Corps, tilting to the left fol- lowed the Brieulles-Cunel road, our Fifth Corps took Gesnes, while along the irregular valley of the Aire river and in the wooded hills of the Argonne that border the river, used by the enemy with all his art and weapons of defense, the First Corps ad- vanced for over two miles. This sort of fighting continued against an enemy striving to hold every foot of ground and whose very strong counterat- tacks challenged us at every point. On the 7th, the First Corps captured Chatel-Chehery and continued along the river to Cornay. On the east of the Meuse sector, one of the two divisions co-operating with the French captured Consenvoye and the Haumont woods. On the 9th, the Fifth corps in its progress up the Aire, took Fleville, and the Third Corps which had continuous fighting against odds was working its way through Pjrieulles and Cunel. On the 10th we had cleared the Argonne Forest of the enemv. It was now necessary to constitute a Second army, and on October 10th the immediate command of the First Army was turned over to Lieutenant General Hunter Liggett. The command of the Second Army, whose divisions occupied a sector in the Woevre was given to Lieutenant General Robert L. BuUard, who had been commander of the First Division and then on the Third Corps. Major General Dickman was transferred to the command of the First Corps, while the Fifth Corps was placed under Major Gen- eral Charles P. Summerall, who had recently com- manded the First Division. Major General John L. Hines, who had gone rapidly up from regimental to division commander, was assigned to the Third Corps. These four officers had been in France from the early days of the expedition and had learned their lessons in the school of practical warfare. Our constant pressure against the enemy brought day by day more prisoners, mcjsth' survivors from machine guns nests captured in fighting at close quarters. On October 18th there was very fierce fighting in the Caures woods east of the Meuse and in the Ormont wood. On the 14th the First Corps took Saint Juvin. and the Fifth Corps, by hand to hand encounters, entered the formidable Kriemhilde line where the enemy had hoped to check us in- definitely. Later the Fifth Corps penetrated fur- ther the Kreimhilde line, and the First Corps took Champigneulles and the important town of Grand Pre. Our dogged offensive was wearing down the enemy, who continued desperately to throw his best troops against us, thus weakening his line in front of our Allies and making their advance less diffi- cult. On the 23rd, the Third and Fifth Corps pushed northward to the level of Bantheville. While we continued to press forward and throw back the enemy's violent counterattacks with great loss to him a regrouping of our forces was under way for the final assault. Evidences of loss of morale by the enemy gave our men more confidence in attack and more fortitude in enduring the fatigue of incessant effort and the hardships of very inclement weather. With comparatively well rested divisions, the final advance in the M'euse-Argonne front was begun on Nov. 1st. Our increased artillery force acquitted itself magnificently in support of the advance, and the enemy broke before the determined infantry which, by its persistent fighting of the past weeks and the dash of this attack, had overcome his will to resist. The Third Corps took Aincreville. Doulon and Andevanne, and the Fifth Corps took Landres et St. Georges and pressed through successive lines of resistance to Bayonville and Chennery. On the 2nd. the First Corps joined in the movement which now became an impetuous onslaught that could not be stayed. On the 3rd, advance troops were hurried forward in pursuit, some by motor trucks, while the artillery pressed along the country roads close behind. The First Corps reached Authe and Chattillon-sur-Bar, the Fifth Corps, Fosse and Nouart, and the Third Corps Halles, penetrating the enemy's line to a depth of 12 miles. Our large caliber guns had ad- vanced and were skilfully brought into position to fire upon the important railroad lines at Montmedy Longuyon and Conflans. Our Third Corps crossed the Meuse on the 5th, and the other corps, in the full confidence that the day was theirs, eagerly cleared the way of machine guns as they swept northward, maintaining complete co-ordination throughout. On the 6th a division of the First Corps reached a point on the Meuse opposite Sedan. 25 miles from our line of departure. The strategi- cal goal which was our highest hope was gained. We had cut the enemy's main line of communica- tions and nothing but surrender or an armistice could save his army from complete disaster. 132 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY In all 44 enemy divisions had been used against us in the Meuse-Argonne battle. Between Septem- ber 26th and November 6th we took 16,059 prisoners and 468 guns on this front. Our divisions engaged were the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 32nd, 33rd, 35th, 37th, 42nd, 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, 82nd, 89th, 90th, 91st. Many of our divisions re- mained in line for a length of time that required nerves of steel, while others were sent in again after only a few days of rest. The 1st, 2nd, 5th, 26th, 42nd, 77th, 79th, 80th, 89th and 90th were in the line twice. Although some of the divisions were fighting their first battle, they soon became equal to the best. On the three days preceding November 10th, the Third Corps and the Second Colonial and Seven- teenth French Corps fought a difficult struggle through the Meuse hills south of Stenay and forced the enemy into the plain. Meanwhile, my plans for further use of the American forces contemplated an advance between the Meuse and the Moselle in the direction of Longwy by the First Army, while at the same time the Second Army should assume the offensive toward the rich iron fields of Briev. These operations were to be followed by an offensive to- ward Chateau-Salins, east of the Moselle, thus isolat- ing Metz. Accordingly, attacks on the American front had been ordered, and that of the Second Army was in progress on the morning of November 11th, when instructions were received that hostilities should cease at 11 o'clock a. m. At this moment the line of the American sector from right to left began at Port-sur-Seille, thence across the Moselle to Vandieres and through the Woevre to Beronvaux, in the foothills of the Meuse, thence along the foothills and through the northern edge of the Woevre forests to the Meuse at Mouzay, thence along the Meuse connecting Avith the French near Sedan." Every case of heroisin, every example of fidelity to duty which has been found among the men who went into the army and navy from Anoka County cannot be set forth in this book. But here and there a case may be selected to indicate that the men who went from here upheld the traditions of the county in a splendid manner. These instances are not related to focus the lime light especially upon the men mentioned but rather to show the stuff that Uncle Sam received when he called upon this county for men. The Jusqua Bout related this incident: "Men working on the loading crews, commonly called Stevadores and considered the most strenu- ous work around a camp, work ten hours a day with but one day's rest out of every seven, same as all others. This day seldom falls on Sunday so that the load- ing crews are denied the pleasures of passes when the people turn out for a day of rest. It is a sorely needed period when it comes. No matter how big and strong they are, the labor is heavy and wearing. "L,ast Tuesday, at the Third Company, a big quiet fellow who works on the loading crew was informed that it was his day off. Later in the day an officer discovered him back at work and inquired of the Sergeant if the man had not been told. When asked why he went back to work the man reluctantly re- plied 'Oh, they were short of men and the fellows said they were worked down, so I thought I'd go right on and work.' "That man was Private Walter S. Barrott. His spirit is the kind which will win this war." It is hard for the friends of Lester Folsom, an old Anoka boy who went into the army frona Minnea- polis, to imagine him as a hunhusker. Here is one of his letters: Somewhere in France, Monday, October 14th, 1918. Note from yours truly from the front might in- terest some old friends so here goes. I say at the front but, to be more exact, we are little less than 10 miles in rear of the front where there is Hun entertainment enough to please us. We made a flying trip from the States, over France to this section, it being less than two months from the time we were called until we reached here. Ran across A. C. Kimball, Fridley and a couple other Anoka boys in this regiment. We are pretty well split up now, the company all remaining in this sector, however. Our trip overseas wasn't vi^hat one would call a. pleasure trip. Sea sickness prevailed as might be expected. I wasn't sea sick but very sick of the sea. Cross it once more coming home and it will satisfy my appetite for sea travel. Our trip through France was made in side door pullman, truck and long hikes, living in our pup tents till we reached here where we have French barracks and dugouts. Give me the barracks as the dugouts are damp and are apt to be already ten- anted by rats. France would be great to tour after the war. The roads are Al, crushed rock, high, wide and handsome. The country up to the front is a great sight, hills, light timber, fields are models of neatness, villages off in the distances. Villages are only two and three miles apart here. The farmers living in these villages and working out of them. We have done our bit, our work I can't state, in this big drive that started September 26th. As you see by the papers the boys have knocked h — out of Fritz and by news last 12 hours it is all over but the shouting. We have been visited a few times by Fritz via aeroplane but he hasn't done much in our locality and hasn't earned his salt as a bomb tosser. Raids are at night and a great sight to see, the sky is one network of searchlights playing for these birds, and a greater sight to see our planes bring old Fritz down. Would like to write a couple of pages or so but supply paper will not permit. We are all well and on the jump, getting our three squares a day and plenty of sleep. Yours truly, Lester Folsom.

Dramatic in the extreme was this young soldier's experiences in the front line ofifensive at Bois De Banteville in the early hours of November 1st, when his company lost six men killed and thirteen wounded by a big shell. "I saw four men on my right and two on my left side blown to death with that shell, said Leger. "That is the closest to death I ever came. The sen- sation cannot be described. I saw my friends torn to shreds. I couldn't understand the miracle that had been worked, for I was in the center of the line, but I was not touched. Sergeant Joseph M. Johnson of Hood River, Oregon and I were left standing alone in that squad when the order was shouted to go forward. Shells had been coming over us all night. This was 2 a. m. and Sergeant John- son and I fought on until 7 a. m. when we were called back to company headquarters at Sergeres. We stayed there until November 4th. Then we were ordered to the front again to help the Fifth Divi- sion across the Meuse at Brielles. There were thirty of us who had volunteered to throw a smoke screen to help the engineers put a pontoon bridge across the river. Our operation was successful. After we had crossed the Meuse the Gas Regiment was again ordered 'over the top' and we advanced a mile to relieve some infantry. I was knocked down twice that night, November 5th, by high ex- plosive shells bursting too near. "Sergeant Johnson told me he found me lying in a shell hole from shell shock. He carried me back to company headquarters and there I remained un- til November 11th, when the armistice was signed. The following day we moved forward to German billets and were putting ammunition in a shed, when someone dropped a lighted match or cigaret butt in a box of explosives and my face was burned." Amos Leger enlisted in the army April 16th, 1918, joining the Engineer Motor Transportation Corps at Fort Meyer, Virginia, where he trained imtil June 20th. when he volunteered to go overseas for immediate service. The trip over was made in the U. S. S. Grant, a German ship before the war. He landed at Brest, July 13th, and two days later was hauling ammunition and supplies to the front lines. Eager for direct fighting, he joined Company F, of the First Gas Regiment, August 29th and was dis- patched to Luneville where he carried ammunition in 72 pound cases to the front, on his back, the trips being made at night, sometimes under heavy enemy fire. "We were throwing gas bombs at the enemy at St. Mihiel, beginning the great drive at 5 a. m., September 12th, and after four days and nights hard fighting there were sent to the Argonne Forest. We hiked 82 miles with full pack, arriving in the big woods September 22nd. We laid in small tents under driving rain until September 25th, when our regiment went to the front line and over the top at 5:10 a. m. September 26th. We saw the hardest kind of fighting against machine gun nests for 48 hours. We were given a rest of ten days at Gere- court. At the end of that rest I volunteered with 29 other men to throw a smoke screen in order to let a tired out division of infantrymen change. The screen was put up and the tired soldiers re- placed by fresh ones. So far as known that was the first important shift of men successfully made in broad daylight, at least in the Argonne sector. I was at the offensive at Verdun from October 18th to 20th, and in those two days our company put over 250 gas bombs, causing great losses to the enemy, who was forced to retire, leaving the dead on the field." After the accidental burning of his face, young Leger was on Hospital Train 58 for three nights and two days, his eyes bandaged to save the sight. He was treated at Soully field evacuation hospital, on the train and later at Base Hospital Lll, leaving December 29th and arriving at Brest January 3rd after a journey of three days and three nights in American boxcars. "We were in mud to our ankles at Brest," he said, "ft rained 19 of the 21 days I was at Brest. It was cold and disagreeable but food was .good. 134 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY and although I had the flu, I told everybody I felt fine. I didn't want to be left behind, and I wasn't. We left Brest on the S. S. Celtic, January 24th, and landed at New York February 2nd. I was mustered out at Camp Dodge, February 20th, and now am back in Anoka, eager only to see a lasting peace." It is manifestly impossible to publish in a book of this sort all of the letters submitted which have been received from Anoka County men in the ser- vice. The numerous letters, which have been used have been selected with the idea of giving as wide a variety as possible, including letters from men in different branches of the service and from men who hailed from various parts of the county. Here is one: Clermont-en-Argonne Father's Day, November 23rd, 1918. "Dear Father: "Today is a day set aside as father's day by the U. S. Army and the censor has lifted the ban on this letter. Each one of us is supposed to write a letter to his father today telling where we have been and what we have done and what battles we have been in. "These letters are to be taken across the sea in a special ship so that you will receive them on Christmas day. I am here waiting for transporta- tion to take me back to my company in the Motor Mechanics which is located in southern France and at one of the largest aviation fields in France. I have been on detached service since August 21st. Was working on aeroplanes and was in line for a commission as aviator when they came around look- ing for men who would volunteer to go to the front and run a water train for a big drive. I wanted to see the front and gave up my chance for a commission in order to volunteer for this service. "Was put in charge of a section of the trucks and another Sergeant was put in charge of the other section, made up of thirty big five and a half ton trucks with the bodies removed and galvanized tanks in their places. Each tank held a thousand gallons of water. "Then we started for the front which was about four hundred miles away. On September 12th the drive started and we were first behind the lines near the town of Flirey, which is about thirty-five miles northeast of the large city of Toul. "We landed in Flirey about five o'clock in the afternoon, and the roads had been so badly shot up that it took us until three the next morning to make the next town which was Essey. We were so tired that most of us slept right out in the open although the Germans were sending shells all around us. Shells were hitting that road on which we were traveling that night very often. "The next morning about nine we left Essey and went to Cannes where we made our headquarters until we came here. The Germans had their head- quarters in that town just four hours before we moved in. They shelled the town about every day. One day I was walking down the street when I heard a shell come whizzing. It hit within fifty feet of me and killed eleven mules. "We slept in dugouts all the time that we were there and one night I counted forty shells which came along but not one of them burst. They were what we call duds. Not over a hundred yards from my dugout one night an American artillery unit stopped. They had barely unhitched their horses when shells began to hit among them killing five horses and four men. "We were stationed at Cannes until October 30th, and all of that time traveled roads which were under shell fire. Many times shells hit just in front of or just behind my section of trucks. "One day the sergeant in charge of the other trucks got lost and started for a town in sight not far away. Soon German machine guns opened fire on him and he turned about and beat it the other way very quickly without anybody being injured. The truck was hit thirty times. "I saw as many as thirty German airplanes over the town in which we were located, at one time and saw several airplane battles and balloons shot down. "That front which we were on was the St. Mihiel front, and on the Metz sector. Some of the towns which we used to pass through while hauling water were Norsard, St. Benoit, Beney Bouillionville, Thia- court. The last two towns were shelled about every day. I used to go to Toul after gasoline about twice a week and went once to Nancy after repair parts for the trucks. "When they started the armistice I was near the Argonne forest and am still here. While we were on the Metz front the First, Rainbow and 89th Divi- sions were near us and I saw the Howell boys and Faye McAllister. They gave me some Anoka papers and I was indeed glad to get them, for I had re- ceived no mail while I was on that front. "This town is pretty badly torn down and no civil- ians live here at all. Received a letter from Bellows some time ago but the censor had cut out over half of it. He is located on the Flanders front with the 27th Division now. "I have seen a lot of dead Germans and some dead Americans on this front and have gathered some souvenirs. "On our way across the Atlantic we stopped at Halifax for three days and there were thirty-four ships in our convoy. One day we saw a bunch of submarines. I was on the upper deck near the rail- ing and saw one of the subs not far from our boat. The next boat shelled and sunk it. They also sunk two others on the way over. "Your son, "Sergeant Levitte F. Martin. "Censored E. H. Riddle, 1st Lt. U. S. Army." The sending of Christmas packages to cheer the soldiers overseas was in charge of a committee headed by Mrs. G. I. Gillespie. Candies, small gifts, and the like were packed in boxes 3x4x9 and labeled with a form label sent home by the soldier who was to receive the package. A large number of gifts were sent thus in the first three weeks of November, 1918. Mrs. Gillespie was assisted by a committee of members from the various Red Cross auxiliaries of the county.

December 25th the Anoka County Union published WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 135 a letter from Lieutenant Edgar J. Goodrich which told briefly of his experiences: "I see Stub Allison frequently. He is busy at present with a Foot Ball Team, which goes soon to play a game at another Aviation Center about 80 miles away, and they are going over in planes — what do you think of that? I never thought I'd live to see the time when foot ball teams would travel about in airships, but evidently it has arrived. They have a right good team here too, all collegt stars, from all parts of the country, several ail- American men included. "The French people surely have been celebrating the past few days, as you've probably read in the papers, and while we a'"'- ■^ot close to the big 'doin's,' the echoes reached do" > Tere and our little town is really quite gay. I dio.' ' k:now there were so many flags in the world as I'vt -een today. Every building from the cathedral to ihe smallest barn is draped and the number of American flags is surprising. They surely have reason to celebrate after these years of war. I'll bet things livened up a bit at home too — the fire bell perhaps and a holiday for the school kids. And now, of course, all our ru- mors are about going home'. According to some, we'll be home for Christmas dinner but we don't know which Christmas. "The gunnery course, just finished, was a dandy, some wild rides with plenty of thrills along with some good instruction. A million dollars looks like cigarette money to a chap who climbs in the cock pit of an old bus just after the sun comes up and sails away through the crisp morning air and literally walks on clouds. And then you stand up, the chariot jumping and bucking and shoot with a camera gun, at an attacking plane which goes through all the evolutions in the "flying drill man- ual." Then when your mission is finished, you sit up there and watch this beautiful country unroll way down below and hang on like the dickens while your pilot cuts a few capers which pick up the earth and throw it around on all sides. Then maybe, you dive down to the river and sail for a few miles just above the water, lined with banks covered with queer, old, stone houses, old boats and washing, zooming for the bridges with such speed that all the cars and teams seem to be standing still. From there you swing and climb over the town with it's narrow, little streets, old rambling houses, dinky street cars, cathedrals and towers and then back to the field with the ships swarming around like a flock of mosquitoes. This is the life. One good ride would put pep in a post. "And now I'm going to crawl under my pile of bedding and coats and prepare to growl about the shortness of the night when I shiver out in the cold, gray dawn. Morning surely comes quickly and it seems the earlier I go to bed the sooner I get up. "Regards to the town. Edgar." John Hefi'elfinger is in the navy. The Anoka County Union thus quoted from a letter received from him toward the last of December: "We are in receipt of an interesting letter from John A. Heffelfinger whom Anoka citizens will re- member as once connected with the old Anoka Shoe factory. He has been on the U. S. S. Pueblo and has traveled to France and just returned from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Flis boat is now in the navy yard being overhauled and made ready as a suitable transport to carry troops back from France. He has made six trips across and previous to that, pa- trolled South American waters for nine months. He entered the service at the beginning of the war and has been on the move ever since. They had the record for duration and mileage of the battle ships and broke all records on their trip to Rio de Janeiro, including 24 hours stop for coaling at the Virgin Islands. They were in Rio de Janerio five days and back in 36 days. They took the ambassador down. On this trip, about 6,100 tons of coal were burned. Mr. Heffelfinger was advanced to a first class petty officer in the engineer's force. "It might be interesting to know that their war crew has been reduced from 1,200 to 750 so as to carry as many soldiers as possible. Formerly they had a 25-piece band. 100 marines and 400 deck hands, of the latter only 100 were retained and the marines and band are gone. They claim the soldiers are to put in eight hours in the cots and 16 hours out. By so doing there will be three soldiers for every cot running eight hour shifts for sleeping. Of course this remains to be seen." The Senior Class of the Anoka High School adopted two French war orphans. On November 20th the Anoka Union published several letters from these forlorn, yet brave people, which should interest every reader with any real sympathy for suffering France. Here are the letters: "Miss: "How happy I was to receive a letter from America. I was jealous of the others who received one. At present, I am happy to know you, to know your name, your age and to know that you passed your examination, but you did not say if you grad- uated. "I do not know whether all of the class adopted orphans, because none said anything again on this subject here. I hope they will not be slow in inform- ing my mother. "I thank you again very much, as well as all your associates, for wishing to help me, and my great desire is to study and become a fine scholar, be- cause I love very much to go to school. I am in the certified class. I am always the first. The holi- days will soon end. I shall go to school again and try to keep my place to please you and also my mama. "You believe that I have no one near to me, but Miss, I have a grandmother who has come with us, when the Germans drove her away after they had taken everything. We are still far from the front, but we hear the cannon, and, thanks to the Ameri- can soldiers who risk nothing, because they are brave soldiers, who will come some day to deliver my grandmother's country, that is on the Meuse, this poor country that was invaded four years ago. Also I thank you most heartily for coming to the aid of our soldiers, to drive from France the foul boches, who have caused so much suffering, who have made us so unhappy. They killed our papa, who was so well-bred, genteel, who loved us so much, so my mama has much trouble to raise us. "You should know that I have a little sister who is called Margaret and a little brother Bene, who is very much younger than I, and my mama is often very ill. For more than a month she has not earned anything. "Dear Mildred, you asked me if you could make me something. I will ask if you are willing to make a little woolen cape, for this winter, to go to school, because I have two kilometers to go and it is very cold in this district. I would also like some gaiters, there is always much snow, and last winter I frosted my ankles. I go so far to school, because in my little country no one could instruct me enough to be a school teacher, also, I thank you again. I do not know the little boy, Charles Perrot, of whom you spoke, for he lives far from here. You will be happy if T write you a good letter? I wish you would' write to me often, if that is possible. I close with 136 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY sending you a great lot of kisses for you and your companions. "Simone Petijean. "P. S. — I enclose a flower from my little garden, it is the last. M'ama wants me to send you my photograph. I will send my portrait in exchange for yours." "Miss: "I will add a word to this letter of my little Simone, in order to thank you for your kindness in adopting this child. I want you to know she is frolicsome, but as good as any in the town. She is very gifted in studies, and that pleases her. T am happy because she plays nicely and behaves well, especially with the help of such genteel ladies as you. Her great desire is to learn English, but alas, I am little use to her this winter, because I have been ill for a long time. I have not been able to work and living is so high. I thank the brave American soldiers most heartily who are helping our soldiers so much and coming to restore the liberty of the inhabitants of my country. And think of the joy of my poor mother, who is 76 years old and who^ saw such terrible things, when she hopes to return home soon. " You may write often to my little girl and you may be sure she wishes you to answer often with a long letter. "My best regards to all, with my thanks. "Madame Petijean." "Dear Miss: "To satisfy my little Simone's wishes, I must write you a few words. She has been ill for several days and cannot write for herself and as she is anxious for news from you all insists that I write for her. She is sufifering with malignant Grippe, such as is prevalent in your country. I trust it will not prove too serious, though today her temperature has been very high. She is very lonely and frets because of her enforced seclusion. She also worries because she is falling behind in her classes and I fear when she begins again she will study and work so hard to catch up with her companions that she will make herself ill again, but I pray she will be wise and be governed by her superiors and not be imprudent. "Her little brother Rene and a sister Marguerite are quite well at this moment. As for me, I suffer always with the pain in my head, to the extent that I cannot work for my dear children who love me much. "I leave you for today, hoping that Simone will soon be able to write you a long letter herself. "My family joins me in sending our friendships and gratitude to you and your little companions in class. "Marie Petijean." "Miss: "Mrs. Petijean gave me to read the charming letter received from you in the name of your class — ad- dressed to her little daughter. I am interested in this unfortunate family and wish to thank you for the .sympathy shown in their distress. Words can- not express her joy at receiving your letters and the comfort she derives from them. Mr. Petijean was a notary. He was highly appreciated for his doctrines and honesty bj' his patrons. "In 1914 he was called to arms. He fought during 1914 and 1915 and finally in 1916 took part in the battle of Verdun. He fell at Damloup on March 17th, 1916. We know from his comrades that he was instantly killed in action. He was loved by his companions at arms. One of them wrote to the widow. "Madam Petijean receives a small pension from the state, and a little assistance from another French organization, but needless to say, all this is insuffi- cient for their actual needs. The mother, in very delicate health, tried to do menial work in a kitchen, but was obliged to stop. She is a young woman, but appears ten years older than her actual age. "The children are all the joy and comfort she has. Your protege Little Simone, always leads her class and is well loved by her classmates and teachers. Her ambition is to become a teacher and help as soon as possible her mother. "Because of our close proximity to the front, I have many occasions of seeing your soldiers and I want to tell you that all your compatriots impress us wonderfully. Gentlemen of unusually good breed- ing, courteous and brave, '-^'^ir resistance in battle is marvelous. Their br --y equals that j)f the French soldiers. They figi magnificently and their coalition with our 'Poilus' •„- admirable. In the past four years our men have learned to judge quality, and they bow in appreciation of the American sol- diers. We are all deeply touched by the kindness and attentions paid by your soldiers to ours. "I would be happy if our little family can receive permission to entertain an American soldier in their home as it w.ould enable Simone to learn the English language. I too would be glad to offer the hospi- tality of my home to one of your soldiers. Would prefer the son of a professor, notary or lawyer, some profession in accord with mine. If you can use any influence to obtain this for us we would appreciate it greatly. "I must crave your pardon for writing such a long letter which has for its object, simply to assure you that^ your generosity and sympathy for the Petijean family is not in vain. It is greatly needed and ap- preciated. "Again, our thanks to the Anoka school. Please present the compliments of an old Frenchman to the teachers and superiors who recommended to your class the adoption of little Simone. Receive for yourself and class, the gratitude of "A Neighbor of Simone. "(Signed) A. Martin." Those who have tried to gather a smattering of French in the past two years will doubtless appre- ciate this letter which was received by Miss Alice Goodrich from the home where her brother. Lieuten- ant Edgar Goodrich, was quartered for a time in France: "My dear Alice: — We have the pleasure to live at home many officers, among whom is brother Edgar. He is arrived after a long and perilous voyage in the castle of my parents. (K photograph bore the legend: 'Chateau Larose-Perganson, facade princi- pale.' The building is large and of unique architec- ture.) He has said to me you had my age. I am very glad of that and if you wish we shall care to correspond together. I have a sister fifteen years old. She would be happy to correspond with your sister Helen. Your brother is a good, very merry boy. (Edgar hasn't changed much evidently.) He put us in the good humour, and it is necessary be- cause we were in the sadness of the death of the war. He was just the same age as your brother Edgar. My mother wishes to adopt him for son of war, and to procure him all the satisfaction of the French family. Please excuse my bad English. I am quite beginner, but I have much good tenacity for learn; speak and write the American language. I sent to your parents the best sympathy of your. "Anne Marie de Commaille."

NEW PLHEISIIEU YORK BY FUXK & WAGXALLS COMPANY, 138 WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY MRS. CLARENCE GREENFIELD contributions directly to the state headquarters and this was done in a very liberal manner. Of course the Knights of Columbus participated in the "Seven War Sister" drive in the fall of 1918 as did all of the other recognized societies. Mrs. Clarence Greeniield was County Chairman of the Child Welfare Com- mittee of the Woman's Auxiliary of the National Council of Defense for the year of April, 1918 to April, 1919. That year was designated as "Children's Year." The strength of the na- tion's children was to be determined and every ef- fort made to conserve that strength. In Anoka County this work was done through the township chairman of the Red Cross Chapter. One thousand one hund- red and fifteen babies were weighed and measured. One hundred of these were weighed and measured at the county fair where a State Child Welfare exhibit was presented. Much valuable literature was distributed over the county and help and advice was given to the mothers, The map used to illustrate the operations in the St. Mihiel salient was very generously given this book by the Literary Digest, Funk and Wagnals, Publishers, New York. With this the following short outline of that cam- paign is added, as many Anoka County men were in action there: The 42nd Division started from northeast of Seich- eprey early September 12th and by night time of the same day had advanced more than five miles almost due north to Lamarche en Woevre. The next day's advance brought the Division to a line west of St. Benoit. By September 18th it had taken a position at Haumont, thus aiding in completely blotting out the St. Mihiel salient, which the Germans had occu- pied for four years. The 89th Division was placed on the right of the 42nd. The 89th advanced from Flirey, Beney and Xammes, in turn, to Dampvitoux. The map shows the American and German posi- tions throughout the offensive. General Pershing's account of the battle is taken from his report to the secretary of war. "With the reduction of the Marne salient we could look forward to the concentration of our divisions in our own zone," said Pershing's report. "In view of the forthcoming operation against the St. Mihiel salient which had long been planned as our first offensive action on a large scale, the First Army was organized on August 10th under my personal command. While American units had held different divisional and corps sectors all along the western front, there had not been up to this time, for ob- vious reasons, a distinct American sector, but in view of the important part the American forces were now to play it was necessary to take over a per- manent portion of the line. "Accordingly on August 30th the line beginning at Port-sur-Seille, east of the Moselle and extending to the west through St. Mihiel, thence north to a point opposite Verdun, was placed under my com- mand. The American sector was afterward ex- tended across the Meuse to the western edge of the Argonne forest and included the Seventeenth French Corps, which occupied the heights above Verdun. "The preparation for a complicated operation against the formidable defenses in front of us in- cluded the assembling of divisions and of corps and army artillery, transport, aircraft, tanks and ambu- lances, the location of hospitals, and the molding together of all the elements of a great modern army, with its own railheads, supplied directly by our own service of supply. The concentration for this operation, which was to be a surprise, involved the movement, mostly at night, of approximately 600,000 troops and required for its success the most careful attention to every detail. "The French were generous in giving us assist- ance in corps and army artillery with its personnel, and we were confident from the start of our super- iority over the enemy in guns of all calibres. Our heavy guns were able to reach Metz and to interfere seriously with German rail movements. The French independent air force was placed under my com- mand, which, together with the British bombing squadrons and our own air forces, gave us the largest assembly of aviation that had ever been engaged in one operation on the western front. "From Les Eparges around the nose of the salient of St. Mihiel to the Moselle river the line was roughly 40 miles long and situated on commanding ground, greatly strengthened by artificial defenses. Our First Corps (82nd, 90th, 5th and 2nd Divisions), under command of Major General Hunter Liggett, resting its right on Pont-a-Musson, with its left join- ing our Fourth Corps (the 89th, 42nd and 1st Divi- sions), under M!ajor General Joseph T. Dickman, in line to Xivray, were to swing in toward Vigneilles on the pivot of the Moselle river for the initial assault. "From Xivray to Mouilly the Second Colonial French Corps was in line in the center, and our Fifth Corps, under command of Major General George S. Cameron, with the 26th and 4th United States Divisions and a French Division at the west- ern base of the salient, were to attack three diffi- cult hills, Les Eparges, Combres and Amaranthe. Our First Corps had in reserve the 78th Division, our Fourth Corps the Third Division, and our First Army the 35th and 91st Divisions, with the 80th and 33rd available. It should be understood that our corps organizations are very elastic, and that we have at no time had permanent assignments of divi- sions to corps. "After four hours artillery preparation the seven American divisions in the front line advanced at 5 a. m., September 12th, assisted by a limited num- ber of tanks, manned partly by Americans and partly by the French. These divisions accompanied by groups of wire cutters and others armed with banga- lore torpedoes, went through the successive bands of barbed wire that protected the enemy's front line and support trenches in irresistible waves on sched- ule time, breaking down all defenses of an enemy demoralized by the great volume of our artillery fire and our sudden appearance out of the fog. "Our First Corps took Thiaucourt, while our Fourth Corps curved back to the southwest through Nonsard. The Second Colonial French Corps made the slight advance required of it on very difficult ground, and the Fifth Corps took its three ridges and repulsed a counterattack. A rapid march brought reserve regiments of a division of the Fifth Corps into Vigneulles in the early morning where it linked up with patrols of our Fourth Corps, clos- ing the salient and forming a new line west of Thiaucourt to Vigneulles and beyond Fresnes-en- Woevre. "At the cost of only 7,000 casualties, mostly light, we had taken 16,000 prisoners and 443 guns and a great quantity of material, released the inhabitants of many villages from enemy domination, and es- tablished our lines in a position to threaten Metz. WITH THE COLORS FROM ANOKA COUNTY 139 "The signal success of the new American J^irst Army in its first offensive was of prime importance. The Allies found they had a formidable army to aid them, and the enemy learned finally that he had one to reckon with." No adequate mention has yet been made of the Drafted Men's Comfort Committee which was ac- tive for more than a year in raising between six and seven hundred dollars which was expeijded for the purchase of comforts and entertainment for the drafted men when they left for cantonments. The committee was made up of J. C. Erlander, A. A. Kranhold and G. W. Green. The money was raised by dances and enter- tainments. Miss Theresa Erickson returned to Anoka in Feb- ruary after serving as a Red Cross nurse in France for six months. She ad- dressed the pupils of the High School and several local clubs, telling of her experiences while over- seas. March 4th it was an- nounced that, for the first tim.e since its organization, the Anoka Chapter of the Red Cross had completed and shipped all work on hand. J. CLEMANS ERLANDER MRS. E. C. MERO MRS. C. H. SMITH MRS. LILLIAN HEWEY MRS. T. T. GEDDES (Mrs. C. D. Green was ill when group was photographed) Announcement was made early in March that all discharged soldiers and sailors would receive a bonus of sixty dollars upon application. Congress passed a law permitting the discharged men to keep their uniforms as souvenirs of the great adventure. The drive for funds for the relief of Armenians and Syrians, postponed from time to time on account of the epidemic of influenza prevalent in the county, was at last undertaken March 31st. Rev. Thomas W. Barbour was chairman of the committee as pre- viously stated. The campaign was opened by a mass meeting at The Green Mondaj' evening, March 31st. Rev. Crawford Grays addressed the meeting and there is no doubt that the small allotment asked of this county will be quickly raised. As this book goes to press it has been announced that the Fifth Liberty Loan- — the Victory Loan — and the last of the series will be floated the last of April. The twenty-first is the date set. T. E. Coleman is again chairman of the Anoka County committee and he is asking those who served so faithfully and well in former campaigns to help "finish the task" by serving as committeemen once more. The terms of the bonds and the allotment for the Ninth Federal Reserve District for Minnesota or for Anoka County have not yet been made pub- lic. The newspapers are again giving freely of pub- licity and there is no question that Anoka County will invest in these bonds and complete its records of having oversubscribed every allotment made for it during the entire duration of the war. Gus Peterson was appointed chairman of the War Savings and Thrift Stamp Campaign for 1919, and he asked the 1918 committee to assist him for the year. No quota has been announced for this county, as yet, for the year 1919. In glancing back over the preceding pages it has been found that the County Committee which man- aged the "Seven Sisters" War Activities campaign in September of 1918 has been omitted. Upon the departure of L. O. Jacob for an officer's training camp, John P. Coleman was made chair- man of the drive and, assisted by the committee be- low, successfully conducted the campaign for funds. His central committee was made up of those noted, assisted by local workers in each precinct: Wfyat!^ a fiicKel worth? THINK IN INTEREST 4. Private Donald R.
