Between volunteer and selectixe service man, between ofPxer and private, between the A. E. F. and those who stayed at home, there is no distinction. Each man who filled the niche to which he was consigned bears his head high. Needless to say, Pittsburg County threw itself into the breach with utmost consecration. Two draft boards organized the man power of the community and sent forth those that were needed. Volunteers poured into the recruiting offices. Soon you at home began to hear of commissions granted, of sailing orders, then honors at the front, citations, crosses — finalK' the dread casualties. At home patriotism swayed to new heights with each voiced need of the government, or of the men. Campaigns waged week in and week out, alwavs successful. Conservation became a religion. Pravers went forth for the safety of the boys over there. And so the story seems complete. But it is not told. Could an editor tell the thousands of biting sacrifices made, the tragedies in every home — every heart; the hundreds of amazing military records, the countless little deeds that added to the sum total that made America victorious — then there would be a story. With humility in the realization that we cannot do them all Justice to any appreciable degree, but with a high purpose to at least do all that is humanly possible — we undertake this book.

German As the war ratrcfi on the eastern Colonies, and western fronts Germany lost con- trol of her colonial possessions, which were dealt with mainly by Great Britain, The surrender. November 7, 1914. of the C^erman colony at Kiau Chau to the Jajianese, bound to support EnKtand. was one of the notable events. The FJKht When war was first declare*!. Ger- on the many's vessels, both merchant and Water. the battle fleet, were tl riven from the seas. However, as the sub- ma line, one of the Kreat pre-war secrets of the Hohenzollerns. Kraiiually became more effective, the Kaiser's statement, "Our future lies on the sea." almost became a reality. According to General Ludendorff. the Central Powers saw in the submarine t"ie only weapon to avert defeat. How ncarljf successful they were is shown by the number of ships sunk durinn the ruthless cam- paif^n of 1917. In the sea engagements, although strongly op- rosed many times, the Allies wore overwhelmingly victorious. In the first engagement, the Battle of Heligo- land Bight, the German fleet was trappefl and whipjied. On November 1. 1914, an inferior S4|uadron of obsolete British vessels encountered the Germans off Coi-onjel on the Pacific Coast and was beaten. At Falkland Islands. December 7. 1914. a .squadron of the Royal Fleet met. and with the exception of one vessel, destroyed a squadron of the Imperial Fleet. The attempt made by the Allies in the early l)art of 1915 to force an opening through the I)ardanelles to Russia was a colossal blunder of the war. The campaign was not only a total failure, but. it drew nceiled men and ammunition from the Western front, thus giving Germany her chance to strike at Russia, which ultimately precipitated the Russian collapse. On May ."il. 1915. in the North Sea. just oppo- site the Danish Coast, was fought the Battle of .hitland. the largest sea battle of the war. The British were complete victoi-s. On the night of April 22. 1918. a British raid- ing party under Admiral Keyes inflicted material damage on /.eebrugge. the most dangei'ous sub- ma ri ne and dest royer base i n t he Nort h Sea .

The defeat which the Austrians met at the hands of the Russians in the early part of September, 1914. at Lemborg, was one of the most complete disastei-s in nulitary history. Russia took about 250.000 prisoners, captured vast stores of ammuni- tion and supplies and acquired much valuable territory. Germany made three attempts at Warsaw, all of which were failures. Turkey's entrance on the side of the Central Powers. November :i. 1914. was prompted by the arrival at Constantinople of the two German battleships. "Goeben" and "Bi-eslau." Aided by their presence. Enver Pasha threw his government into the hands of the Central Powers. Three corps of Turkish troops, sent Into the Caucasus against the Russians, met with complete disaster. On March 22. 1915. the Russians captured Pizemysl. almost as comi>lete a victory as that of Lembcrg. Russia next made thrusts at Germany's lines in the Carpathian i-egion, only to fail. On May Day. 1915. was started the seconrf battle of imiHUtance of the war. The Battle of the ilunajec saved the Austrian military machine from complete ruin and marked the beginning of the Russian Revolution and sub.sequent overthi-ow of the i:overnment.

At Salonica. the Grecian seai)ort city, the Allies kept a Karrison of troops under the command of the undesirable French general, Sarrail. Other than for a few- minor en^HKements and an enormous investment of men and etiuipment. the venture held little importance. The purpose of the enterprise was to keep Greece from enterinK the conflict on the side of the Central Powei-s. Condition of With the fall of Bucharest, the the Allies hopes and aspirations of the Allies at the Close were at their lowest ebb. The Cen- of 1916. tral Powers, unlike their enemies, had been able, thus far, to retain a unison of thought and action, and to this they owed their successes. At the end of the campaij?" of 1916 we see the sweepinj; removal of prac- tically all of the Allied political and military leaders. Enjrland threw herself unconditionally into the hands of David Lloyd George and from then on thinKs took on a brighter aspect for the British. Clemenceau, "the Ti^er of France," was [»lacenwl Vimy Ridirc. in the West by Great Britain, April 9, at Arras. The German front lines and the central feature of that front. Vimy Ridwe. were taken after all flay fi^htinK.

Accordingly, on May 1 -1. General Cadorna. at the head of the Italian forces, attacked at the edne of the Bain- siza plateau and at the western extremity of the Selva di Ternova. The Italians ohtjiineil a foot- hold here, althoujjh furiously counter-attacketl by the Austrians ojiposinp them.

The attack of the forces of the Central Powers, under General Ludendorff. came as a complete surprise to the Italians. The Sec- ond Italian Army was broken up and captured and through this gap the Germans poured to the Venetian jilain. General Foch was sent by France to aid Italy. All throu^ih December the Germans attempted to break down the hastily constructed Italian defenses, but Ihe Italian Army, backed by the people en masse, stood, and operations be- came stationary for a matter of months. In the latter part of October the first American contingent appeared on the French front facing Alsace-Lorraine. Tanks Break On November 2(1. the most suc- Lincs at cessful surprise attack, up to that fambrai. moment, on the western front was , accomplished by the British at Cam- brai when they broke through the third and pene- trated the fourth lines of German defense. The surprise was brought about by the large number of tanks used, eliminating the need of artillery preparation. However, the Germans countered with a surprise attack, cut through the British lines at one place and made a big advance before they were held up and finally pushed back. The Ger- mans scored by secretly bringing up vast numbers of reserves and unexpectedly throwing them into the fight. The last counter of the Bi-itish marked the end of the Cambi-ai campaign. Jerusalem. On December 11. Sir Edmund Alien- by entered Jerusalem after a brief and brilliant campaign against the Turks. This lessened, to some extent, the depressing effect of the Italian Caroretto reversal. First Drive of With the efficacy of the sub- the Germans in marine assuming a doubtful I91i*. aspect and the entrance of Amer- ica, giving the Allies an unlimited amount of men and resources, and with internal affairs at home approaching an acute stage. Ger- many sought a quick decision on the western front. Early in March, a number of German divisions, specially trained for a big surprise attack, began to secretly assemble in the region around Cam- brai. On March 21. the blow was struck. The surprise was complete and the British holding this section of the line were imshed back almost to Amiens, but French reserves were rushed into the line and the drive was checked. The Allies tardily decided to combine their forces under one suiu-eme commander-in-chief anri on March 28. 1918. the French general. Ferdinand Foch. was appointed generalissimo of the Allied forces. Americans were now coming over in great num- bers. About a quarter of a million men were landing in France every month. Second Drive On April 9, the Germans of the Germans launched a second surprise against in 1918. the British and Portugese forces betw-een Arras and Ypres. The objective of this thrust was Calais and the English Channel. The Portugese fell back, but the British stood their ground after being ordered by General Haig to die in their positions rather than yield. Aided by French reserves the British held up the German advance. Third Drive Ludendorff made another thrust of the Germans in May, this time on Chemin des in 1918. Dames. The first day that posi- tion was carried and the German forces pushed on across the Aisne as far as the Marne between Chateau Thierry and Dormans, greatly endangering Paris. In June. Von Hutier tried a lush in the direction of Compiegne. but here the Germans were met by the first Americans to see actual fighting and were held up. In the weeks that followed the Germans continually lost. On July 15. Gerjnany made a last effort to take Rheims but the offensive was turned into a retreat. French and British forces, supported by fresh American troops, speedily pushed the Germans back to the Aisne.

On July 19 the Allies continued the advance and the German forces were withdrawn all aiong the whole line. After furious street fighting the Americans liberated Chateau Thierry on July 20 and drove the Germans back to the Marne from the deep pocket which they had extended toward Paris. By July 26 the Germans were in full re- treat along the line from the valley of the Ourc and pushed them back. Without aid from Germany or Austria, Bulgaria was forced to capitulate, September 2it.

Ten days alter the Germans had evacuated Metz and the Frencli had taken posses- sion, the American Red Cross, represented by Captain Ernest N. Whitcoinb and Miss Lynn, arrived on the scene. For many days they were the only outposts of the great relief agency in Metz, excei)t that Captain VVliitcomb was relieved by Captain W. II. Thompson. After scouring the neigliboring country for two days in searcli of escaped .\merican prisoners who were reported in tlie vicinity. Miss Lynn and Captain Tliompson finally located 120 Americans, released by the Germans, and dumped off a train the night be- fore into a barn that was to serve as barracks. "Hello boys," said Miss Lynn, as she jumped from I lie automobile which had con- veyed them there. "My God, it's an American girl," exclaimed one lad. The rest were silent lor tlic moment, until the truth finally burst upon them. For a little more than a week Miss Lynn cared for these boys and others who filtered into the city during that period, starved and suffering. She served l!tO tx)ys on thi; job. Better nuarters were secured for them and they were given real food. Every- where and any time, Miss Lynn would set up a tiny canteen and dispense hot things to eat and drink. The stories of how those boys acted at their first ta.ste of good food, is one that will long be remembered. One group of twelve arrived in Metz just in time to take a Thanksgiving dinner at the best restaurant in the city, as the guest of Miss Lynn. Thirty-thrct VO?S i lusl Viillr No more sensational story could be told than that o( Lieutenant Francis Leo Drew of the Air Service, who is officially credited with seven aerial ensagements. Drew, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank B. Drew of McAlester, enlisted in Cliicago, April 20, 1917, just a fort- night after war was declared. He first was attached to the field artillery, where he won a commission as second lieutenant. Later he was transferred to air serv- ice and made a first lieutenant, with I lie rating of pilot. He is now, after lieing discharged, a reserve military aviator. Lieut. Drew served four months in F'rance with the 71st Escadrille, 8th Army Corps, 4th French Army. Later lie was attached to the 1st American Army, being overseas 14 months in all. Perhaps his greatest responsibility was that of Chief Instructor and Liaison officer at Camp de Coetquidan, one of the largest aviation training centers for Americans in France. Drew served approximately 4.5 hours over the German lines. Discharged February 22, 1919, he is now attending the University of Wis- consin. II The First American Prisoners. Thirly-jour The Cullcv hrolluTs. Few brotliers were so t'orlunato as Bernard Lyie CuUey and Thomas D. Ciilley, of Haileyville. Tliese boys enlisted in Chicago, May 21, 1917, just about a month after America entered the war. They were assigned to t'om|)any B, IStli Enfiineers, and sent to France after three months training. Together they spent 21 months ami 5 days overseas, and were mustered out May 14, 1919. Oi.'^trict noar transpart Arcadia, arriving at Newport News on March 18, 1919. Upon receipt of this information the Commercial Club of McAlester requested the War Department, through Hon. Chas. D. Carter. Member of Congress, to grant permission for the 111th Ammunition Train (which included old Troop C) to stop a day at McAlester for entertainment on its vyay to the demobilization camp. This request was granted, and the 111th M?,.T9i"ioio'''"\n'">;r'^ ''^ McAlester at 6:30 A. M. on the morning of Maich 25 1919. All will agree that this day stands out above and beyond all other days in the history of McAlester and Pittsburo- County The entire regiment, under the command of and headed by Col. Stephenson paraded through the principal streets of McAlester, in full oversea.s uniform and military equipment. After the conclusion of the parade the soldiers were transported by automobile to Chadick Park and served a picnic dinner, which had been prepared by the ladies of the McAlester and Pittsbuig County Chapters of the Red Cross Society. At 1:30 P. M. the 111th Ammunition Train entrained for Oklahoma City, and went thence to Camp Bowie, Fort Worth, Texas, for demobiliza- tion. In a tew days the individual members of old Troop C had been dis- charged and returned home, and thus Tioop C, First Cavalary, Oklahoma National C.uard, passed into history. Thirty-seven WITH THE COLORS By FANNIE C. ROSS Sammy Boys — U. S. Soldiers — America's selected manhood With the colors for the colors, By the colors they have stood; And they fought like "Hail Cokmibia," Just as we all knew they would. While the world lay in the balance, Praying for deliverance; Onward pressed our noble heroes Through the bloody fields of France. Faced the terrors of Inferno, Stood by that demoniac gulf. Hurling shot and shell upon them Till the demons got enough. We can never know the horrors Of the drives through which they led, But we know the German forces Fell before their charge, or fled. Now the great World War is over; When the League of Nations signed. All the powers of earth will settle To a peaceful state of mind. Let us honor them, our heroes! As a grateful nation should. With the colors for the colors, By the colors they have stood, And they fought like "Hail Columbia," Just as we all knew they would. Thirty-eight WITH THE COLOR /"V, 1. Cf.orcf. B.

Pittman (hi I' lliirhlnul Forty 'three THE COUNCIL OF DEFENCE As the columns of stalwart boys marched away in their resplendent uniforms, eager to come to grips with the Kaiser's band, folks at home saw and deep down in their hearts made a stern resolve, ihey \m,uIii buck up these khaki-clad heroes: And to the last ounce of energy, the last dollar, the bitterest sacrifice, the people of Pittsburg County seemed ready to go. With heads erect and conscience clear, do they now welcome back those who were privileged to play the more active role. Without doubt the most virile agency in this back home winning of the war was the Council of Defence. Organized to perfection, its tenacles reaching into every cranny in the county and touching the pulse of the people there, the Council became the most powerful force that will ever be felt in the community. Heading up the activities of the entire Council was an Executive Committee, sitting in McAlester, which acted as clearing house for the problems and difficulties of the whole county, particularly those with which the lesser councils could not cope themselves. S. L. Morley, chairman, and J. L. Shinabarger, vice-chairman, served throughout the life of the committee. T. T. Lewis succeeded W. T. Yoakum as secretary. The first formal meeting of this board was held in March, 19:18, the original mem- bers having been called together at the instance of Governor Williams No time was lost. Caught by the possibilities of the plan, these men threw themselves into the fray with an unflagging energy that maintained itself from beginning to end, despite inconvenience and expense, misunderstantling, discouragement, and serious neglect of personal affairs. The first step was to establish councils in every township. Further than that, there must be representatives in each school district, all of them self-governing, and looking to the executive board only for guidance and as a sort of court of appeals. April 6 and 7 were set aside as organization days. Speakers were sent to every school district and trade center to explain to the Council of Defence and spur the organization in that community. From that time on, the local councils forged ahead under the pressure of their own interests. It is interesting to trace the expansion of the Executive Com- mittee. First organized by a mere handful of public-spirited citizens, it gradually absorbed the leaders of patriotic activities everywhere, until things reached a point where almost no government activity was undertaken unless some member of the boaril was at the head of it. His lieutenants usually were fellow members of the committee, so that it may be said that the same group of men bore the brunt of most of the organ- izing and directing of home fighting. An instance of the critical times which many of the board members were spending is available in the minutes of a meeting, which show that one very active councilor was excused to go home, where everyone was working' at night in the harvest fields. Now, the Executive Board began to hew into the pile of troubles that the war was heaping on the county at large. Meetings were held twice each week, Monday evening, usually at the Commercial Club rooms or the courtiooni, and Friday noon at the Bushy Hotel. The evening sessions often lasted far into the night as the members lavestigated and pondered and acted. The enormous quantity of business transacted at these meetings seems well nigh impossible. To pour over the elaborate minutes of the board is to know why Pittsburg County did its share in the war, why each person in Pittsburg Couniy did his share. No board could have exercised a closer guardianship. Since it is impossible to give an account of its activities in any oth.-r fashion, following are a few briefs of business disposed of: It was decided to hold Liberty Bonds at par in this county. Holders of bonds were notified that banks would pay full value, if it were absolutely necessary for them to sell. Thousands of loyalty pledge cards were signed at the instigation of the Executive Committee and the various councils. Particularly any one who was suspected of being lukewarm in his patriotism was required to sign and live up to the promise. When national and state officials appealed to the draft board to hurry along occupational classification of registrants in 1918, the Executive Committee lent material aid. Meetings were held for all draft contingents, the purpose being to explain to them some of the rudiments of army routine and discipline, so as to smooth their way when they reached camp. March 11. 1918, local councils made a survey and reported all men over 16 years of age who were unemployed. Each man's occupation was investigated. A jubilee was held April 1.5, with Sousa's Great Lakes Band, celebrating the fact that the county had gone "over the top"on the third Liberty Loan. Scores and scores of citizens were brought before the Executive Committee to One Hundred Forly-jour stand trial for allcf^cd seditious utterances or for any attitude that was not in complete accord with winning the war. This was, perhaps, the most weighty activity of the com- mittee, as every unpatriotic or half-hearted man or woman came within the pale of the council's far-reaching organization. All were given a hearing, the accused being cited to ai)pear before the council at a specified time. As many as thiity-one were on the (locket one evening. The sheriff brought in those who failed to show up. Downright slackers weie not the only ones who saw the stern, beckoning finger of the council. This body looked likewi,-o at the work slacker, the L'berty Loan slacker, the Red Cioss delintjuent and so on. The records of the Executive Committee show one evader who was foiced to legister. The local councils probably had a few more. During one spirited campaign, dozens were hailed before tins info -mal court for non- employment. Others crossed the official fancy by refusing to do their shaie on the several financial drives. The last class were those who were guilty of actual open sympathies with the enemy. Yet Pittsburg County was not a harboring place for the disloyal. Under the seaiching scrutiny of this most efficient council every unfortunate case was dragged to the light and given what may seem undue prominence. Few felt the quick jerk of the patriot's wrath before they sw\mg themselves into line and gave no moie trouble. In this way the county was brought up to 100 per cent efficiency with little loss of energy. It is interesting to notice the penalties imposed. In the first place, it is easily apparent that the utmost 'eniency was exercised at all times. The council and Kxecutive Committee were trying to help their fellow citizens to see through patriotic eyes the .same as they did; they were not b;nt on sending as many to jail as possible. In almost every case, a man or two was designated to talk prii'ately with the delinquent — to explain to him the entire situation and put it up to him in a firm but friondly fashion. More was rarely needed. In such cases the accused, if fou.id partial y or wholly guilty, would usually be diiected to subscribe a certain amount to the drive then in progress. In more dire circumstances, the penalty was an apology to the local council. Only a few were sent to the recruiting station posthaste, and a still smaller namber confined to jail for a short period. .-Vid was given the food administrator in investigating the price of substitutes and penalizing food hoarders. One man v,-as found who gave his dog's name as one of the family in order to get more flour. An edict was issued again.st the practice of letting hogs run over neighbors' pastures. The passage of an anti- loafing law was secured. Sixteen hundred dollars was contributed towards the upkeep of the state organization. Members of the executive board paid their own expenses on most of their investigations and on all speaking trips. Carnivals were denied access to the county. Steps were taken to organize a company of national guard Picnics of more than one day's duration were forbidden. The council fostered a sane Julv Fourth celebration. Roys were encouraged to work in the harvest fields. Eelicious faiths con- trary to national .iilegiance were investitrated and individual followers reprimanded. The enrollment of war nurses by the Red Cross was encouraged. The Executive Hoard passed on all war funds and camnaigns of any sort. One hundred men was Pittsbuig's 17, until the last bit of record was forwarded to Washington after the armistice was signed. The gigantic task of classifying and organizing the questionaiies seemed at times to snow under the clerical force; while the board itself was kept humping to .select those men who were necessary to the military organization of the United States. Two limited service men, H. Edgar Cole and R. C. Kelley, were assigned to help the board. At the first registration in 1917, 2,330 men appeared before the board. One hun- dred and seventy-eight were added June 6, 1!)18, when those who had become 21 since the the first registration were re<|uired to sign up. Another registiation .\ugust 20, l'J18, was held to obtain those who had become of age since June. The final registra- tion, September 12, 1918, was for all men between the ages of 18 and 45, inclusive. It put 3,.596 more on the rolls of the board. Of the total 6,158 registrants, more than 1,000 were sent to camps by this board. The figure includes voluntary enlistments. Credit should go to ten teachers in the McAlester schools who, during a period of six weeks when the influenza epidemic shut down the .schools, put in all their time on government records.

This board may well boast of maintaining the same personnel throughout the war, each member sticking to his job despite personal inconvenience until the task was finished and the Selective Service Act only a vague memory. There are only a few in the State with this record. Jurisdiction of Board No. 2 extended over the east half of the county, the dividing line running just east of the city of Krebs. The board sat at Hart.shorne, the executive sessions being in the offices of Mr. Layden. Physical examinations were conducted in Dr. Sames' office. The thrilling days of the various registrations will long be tradition in Hartshorne. Many will never forget the tense waiting that attended the great lottery at Washing- ton, when Administration officials drew the numbers of those who were to form the vanguard of liberty. The four registrations netted the following number of registrations: first 1,983, second 169, third 38, fourth 2,843. Total, 5,033. Six hundred and forty-nine men were sent to camp and accepted. This is exclusive of volunteers, which are estimated at 100, bringing a total of 750 men. H. Paul Rivers, limited service, was assigned to the boai'd. '/T,^ /t!.^/^,..

This is more than .?100,00n over the (|Uota asked. On the other hand it is impossible to tell just how much was sold. Stamps and bonds were bought through various agencies, such as the postoffice and city banks, whose sales were not recorded locally. Many of the local banks, for instance, bought direct from the Fed- eral Reserve Bank at Kansas City. The W. S. S. Bank, which stood manfully out in Mc- Alester's main thoroughfare, challenging all to invest their savings, sold a good share. The total sales were $143,341 from the opening, June 28, 1918, until Decem- ber 18, 1918. The W. S. S. Bank was built by the pati'iotic contri- butions of material and labor. Ilunitrrtl Fijtythrcc W. S. S. I'.ank FOUR MINUTE MEN. S. Z. Fitzgerald, County Chairman. The Old Minute Men of the American Revo- lution were equaled, if not bettered, by the Four-Minute Men of the United States during the Great War, not by fighting ability, but by use of words. The Revolutionary men responded with the musket; the Four-Minute Men said more in four minutes than was hitherto thought pos- sible. And what they said was straight, out- standing truths, and told what the people must do to win the war. It was necessary to educate the people to the war; to show them the utter necessity of the various drives, so that the district would '"go over the top." The specific object in McAlester and Pittsburg County was to bring it about, through impassioned pleas and through the cold facts of what men "over there" were undergoing, that the city and county would aid the country. No funds were available to pay expenses of speakers when they went out to rural school houses to talk, nor when they traveled to other towns. for by the officers of the local organization. The campaign included visits to every school house in the county, during the larger drives; speeches each night in the theaters; responses to call of duty and talks at entertainments of all kinds. The theaters where a Four-Minute man spoke each night were the Busby and Yale, McAlester, and theaters at Krebs, Hartshorne, Haileyville and Quinton. In the larger drives over the county, many men not in the Four-Minute ranks delivered addresses at various places. The list of officers and members of the organization in the countv. as nearly accurate as could be made, includes: Chairman, S. Z. Fitzgerald; secretary, O. H. Whitt; G. L. Andrews, F. G. Anderson, W. W. Chancellor, G. W. Chaney, Melven Cornish, Chas. Brice, Jackman Gill, W. R. Harris, E. P. Hill, Tom G. Haile, H. I. Aston, Wesley Far- mer, W. H. Fuller, S. F. Brown, W. P. Hill, W. P.

The Jiiost important campaign for funds with which to cany rolief work at camps and over- seas, was the United War Work campaign, In- augurated November 11, 1918, the memorable day when the Armistice was signed. The news of the cessation of hostilities reached McAlester over the wire at about 3 o'clock in the morninpf. The campaign, instead of dragging on over the week of November 11 to 18, was com- pleted that first day of hilarity. People willingly Have and pledged to give much more than the set ((uota. A. B. Ringland, of McAlester, was chairman of District 16 of the State. Hia, territory comprised four counties, Pitt.^burg, Mcintosh, Haskell and Latimer. More than .$100,000 was raised in the district. The district leaders were: Women, Mi's. Frank Craig; girls, Mrs. W. A. Evans; boys, Stanley Thomas; publicity, A. P. Harris; speakers, M. E. Williams; advertising, Elmer Hale, all of McAl- ester. A. U. Thomas had charge of the Pittsburg county campaign. County leaders were: Women, Miss Eleanor Crowl; girls, Mrs. S. L. Morley; Bovs, R. L. McPherron; publicity, A. P. Harris; idvertising, Joe Johnson; collections, H. S. Stinible, SALVATION ARMY. When in the spring of 1919, it was announced that a campaign would be had to raise funds for the Salvation Army, the worker of almost miracles on the battle-torn fronts during the war, Pittsburg County and McAlester got busy before the announced date of the campaign. On the opening day, A. B. Ringland, county chairman, notified the state campaign chairman that Pittsburg County was ready to turn over $2,300, when the quota had been only $1,200. The county officer.-; were: Chairman, A. B. Ringland; Secretary, Elmer Hale; Publicity, A. P. Harris; Treasurer, Frank Craig; Speakers, Sim Naylor, and McAles- ter, Chairman, J. E. Johnson. YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. Fred Struble, County Chairman. One of the first donations made by Pittsburg County during the war was to the Y. M. C. A., for work overseas. Although the local share was set at only $5,000, County Chairman Fred Struble was able to report a total of $9,287.81 in pledges to state headquaiters. The campaign was November 12-17, 1917. Covering the county was a very able organization composed of the following: George Hall, Ashland; 'Frank Nash," Alderson; Tom Straw, Haileyville; Dr. W. W. Sames. Hartshorne; J. J. Brewen and Frank Dale, for Krebs and Carbon; J. C. Love- lace, Canadian; Claiencc Fuqua, Pittsburg; John McBride, Kiowa; Dr. F. J. Baum, Savanna and Brewer; E. E. Knack, Crowder; A. F. Pollock, Quinton; Clyde Donaghe, Indianola; Dr. J. P. Schlicht, Scipio; J. A. Collins, Arch. Oiif lliindred Fijty-five JEWISH RELIEF CAMPAIGN. Louis Berlowitz, Chairman. McAlester gave handsomely to the national fund for the furtherance of Jewish Relief. A brief campaign was staged in April, 1918, under the direction of Mr. Berlowitz, during which more than $2,300 was contributed. Fur- ther donations were made later. This was considerably more than was expected of this community. The campaign was given an impetus by an address by Dr. Mayer, of Kansas City, who addressed a general meeting at the Baptist church. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS. Under the leadership of F. F. LaGrave, the McAlester Knights of Columbus raised $1,215 for their national war budget in July, 1918. This fund was secured from members of the lodge only. Following are the workers on the campaign: Rev. Maurice Fuerstenberger, E. W. Flynn, J. H. Needham, T. J. Abbott, J. L. Cordial, J. M. Doyle, F. D. Keohans, J. E. Layden, Owen McHugh, William Mahon, George Nelson, C. M. O'Brien, J. T. O'Leaiy, J. J. Wal.sh William J. Fagan. W. S. O'Neal. J. A. Shearn, and AMERICAN COMMITTEE FOR DEVASTATED FRANCE. W. S. O'Neal, County Chairman. Mi-s. Frank Craig, City Chairman. "For France," was the cry which workers sent out in July, 1919, and Pittsburg ounty responded with $900, to be used for the reclamation of the devastated regions of our noble ally. W. S. O'Neal, county chaiiman. and Mrs. Frank Craig, for tho city, carried on the bulk of the work, aided by a small executive committee. One Hundred Fiji\-six UNITED STATES FUEL ADMINISTRATION F. C. Russell. Fred C. Russell, County Fuel Administrator. The ta.sk of a fuel administrator in Pitts- burg County, with its wealth of coal, would seem at first glance a light undertaking. But it did not prove to be such. True, the ordinary precautions necessary to keep the city in coal were not strictly neces- sary. Despite this fact, the cities in Pitts- burg County religiously observed lightless nights, gasolineless Sundays, and other minor ipgulations, such as the skip-stop system for trolley lines. The real job for Fred C. Russeil, county I'uel administrator, however, was to keep pro- duction at its height. It was imperative dur- ing the war that every mine run to capacity all the time, and that the product be shipped out with all possible speed. THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC. When the influenza epidemic was raging during October and November, 1918, an emergency hospital was opened through the agency of the Red Cross at the Pres- byterian Parish House. The hospital was maintained for five weeks. Under the direction of Mrs. C. Harry Jones, nurses were furnished to 24 fami- lies during this latter epidemic. A soup kitchen also was opened on East Choctaw Street, to furnish broths and suitable food to the ill. Mrs. C. R. Wise, Mrs. J. B. McAlester, Mrs. E. A. Daniels and Mrs. Sudie Barnes were in charge. Fifty-eight Pitt.sburg County people died from influenza during the fir.st epidemic alone, according to estimates made from newspaper files. Thirty-two of these were in the city of McAlester. HOOKS FOR THE SOLDIERS. In Januaiy, 1!)18, the Library War Sen'ice Department of the American Library Association, headquarters in Washington, sent out a call to all libraries for books to be sent to camp librarians for use of soldiers and sailors. In McAlester, teachers of the ward schools a.sked school children to bring books to the Public Library. In Match, 1918, 488 books of fiction and 133 classified books were collected and despatched to Camp Doniphan, Oklahoma. The books were made ready for use by Mrs. Phoebe Hayden. librarian, who, with one or two assistants, pasted book plates and pockets in each book, and furnished two typewritten cards for distribution service. In January, 1919, McAlester furnished 240 fiction and 1.5.5 classified books to San .\ntonio, Te.xas. The total number of books sent from this city was more than 1.000.

"An association of patriotic men and women organized for the purpose of raising and perpetuating a memorial to the deeds of Pittsburg County soldiei's and sailors in the World War," is the self-styled object of this body. Its first activity was to foster the publication of "With the Colors," to presen'c forever the story of this countiy's part in the great struggle. Bearing in mind the brevity of man's memory and the corroding influence of time on the halls of fame, the Association has sought to compile the history while it was yet fresh and commit it to imperi-^hable type and picture. The further aim of the Society is to urge the building of a memorial court house by the county. The building, according to the plan, should be erected by regular taxa- tion; but memorial association hopes to secure voluntary contributions to fit up a memorial room in the stnicture. This court room would contain many of the invaluable records already compiled by the editors of "With the Colors," and souvenirs of all sorts. A bronze pUuiue upon which will be inscribed the names of all Pittsburg County men in the sen'ice will be a feature of the memorial room. W. E. 11. J. P.

M. J. Phillippe One Hundred Sixty THE WAR DOWN ON THE FARM. I'erhaps the ino.-t spectaculai movt'inent to help make the farm help win the wai wa.s the organization of the Hoe and Harvest Corps in the summer of 1918. In this organization hundretls of McAlester business men enlisted, volunteering to take flyinv trips out to nearby and sometimes far-away farms to aid in the harvest. .Albert Jones was director. Business men wouid do their day's work, then leave McAlester in units about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. They used their own automobile.s to whisk out to the designated spot. They would then work until dark in the fields, being paid a dollar a day, which they donated to the Red Cross. The ciops saved from ruin by this gratuitous labor cannot be estimated, except by the number of lame backs. Preceding this there had been a concerted effort made upon the part of govern- ment and county agents to get farmers to raise war crops, a movement to which Pitts- burg county agriculturalists responded to a man. The war also saw the quickening of interest in the boys and girls clubs through- out the county, and these young.«ters oftimes did more than their elders in the way of diiect war commodity production. These same laddie.s were organized into the Uniteil States School Garden Army, which also included town youngsters. Hundreds of gardens were thus stimulated. In the city of McAle.ster every vacant lot was usurped by the patriotic boys and girls. Each garden was named aftei' some soldier in the service, and an American flag guard- ed the premises. The youngsters were organized into companies, with lieutenants and captains from their own midst, to see that no one fell down on his job. Mrs. H. F. Schreiner was supeivisor of gardens, and .she was aided by the following women, who served in their respective wards: Mrs. George Dawson, Mrs. A. F. Dawson, Mrs. I. F. Mahoffey, Mrs. A. J. Welch, Mrs. J. R. Holden, Mrs. Walter Ley. At Alderson the Garden Army was well sy.stematized through the efforts of Mrs. W. L. Breckner. Results speak for themselves; the Al(le)'son kiddies' truck took first prize at the county and Muskogee free fair e.xhibits. Boys just a little bit older were grouped into what was known as the Boys' Work- ing Reserve. These young men, under the leadership of Rev. Philip Edwards, W. E. Harmuth and Leonard Lyies, were sent out to help harvest. In addition to this the boys of the county, through their agricultural club.s — 300 boys— raised food worth $30,000. One Huiulred Sixtv-oiiP SIZING IT UP. (By A. P. Harris.) When Congress passed a declaration of war on April 6th, 1917, McAlester and Pittsburg County had for two years enjoyed a fair measure of prospertiy. But this had come after a long period of business and commercial depression. Prices for the products which Pittsburg County had to sell were but just getting back to the normal after the slump which came when Germany ran amuck in 1914. This was a new country, but twelve years having" elapsed since statehood. Vast sums had been spent in reclaiming the county from the wilderness the early settler.s had found here. Bridges had been built, roads laid out and graded, school houses erect- ed, houses, barns, fences and all the vast details of farm life were but just starting in this new country. In the towns the people had loaded themselves with a heavy debt of bonds for public improvements, streets hafl been paved, business houses and residences built, sewers, water works and all the sanitary things necessary in modern life had been put in and people had trusted to the future to pay for them. But in spite of all these things the entire country rallied to the call to arms. Not only did the county send its proportionate share of soldiers to the war, but its last line of defense, its citizenship, gave of its sc.-inty hoard of accumulated wealth willingly and cheerfully. Where all the money came from in this new country that was poured in the lap of the government was then, and still is, largely a mystery. The Liberty Loans were all oversubscribed, its War Saving Stamp drive was a great success and Pittsburg County gave its quota to the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Jewish Relief, Uniteil War drive, and all the other war activities that came in for exploitation and which appealed strong- ly enough to the people that they gave more than they were asked to give. It seemed a dizzy piece of financial legerdermain. But it was not. It was a simple matter of Pittsburg County's super patriotism for which the whole county is justly proud. In all these various drives and calls for money Pittsburg County gave $4,957,808. These figures are for drives of which records were kept and presei-ved. Many other calls came to the county for relief in various forms and none were turned avvay. It seems reasonable to believe that more than $5,000,000 left the county for war purposes. In these days of figures that .stagger the imagination and which are inconceivable to the average mind this sum may not seem so large. But it must be remembered that it came from a very limited territory and from a county sparsely populated. A few comparisons may aid in comprehending what such sums mean: Had all the money the county gave been in i Mklven Cormsh J. E. Johnson Secretary ]\. \l. Matthews H. C. Nei^son Victor P.

Second Campaign No small responsibility was that of providing funds for the local and national activities of the American Red Cross. As usual, Pittsburg County folk did far more than their share, but some credit for this must go to the genius of the organizers. The first drive, under the leadership of Frank Craig, brought in $18,724.76, one-fourth of which or $3,905.28, went to the local chapter. This was in October, 1917. A. U. Thomas was county chairman for the second effort, which was in April, 1918. He appointed John C. Liebrand city chairman. The quota for the county was $19,000. Pledges totaled $87,650, or just twice the amount expected. About $34,000 was collected. MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGNS W. Hayks Fuller. Chairman That each person give something to the maintenance of the Red Cross, was the object of the membership campaigns. By paying a dollar an individual was thus en- rolled as a member of the organization. In fact, many of the memberships brought more than a dollar, but this was the stand- ard amount asked. In the first drive, in December, 1917, $15,348.48 was collected, while the second campaign, in December, 1918, brought $9,550.02. W. Hayes Fuller was county chairman for both drives. A. U.

Troy, Assistant Relief No better de.-^cription of the spirit and devotion of Pittsburg County women could have been obtained than a glimpse of one of the numerous work-rooms over the county. It was here that, day in and day out, women who had hurried through their household duties came to knit and sew and pack things for the boys across the sea. The McAlester headquarters were in the Masonic temple, where several rooms were utilized from the summer of 1917 up to the end of the war. Day clas.ses for all sorts of sewing and knitting and evening classes for surgical dressing units were conducted. Yarn also was given out from this station to women who would knit at home. The combined report of the workrooms of the county was: Hospital garments 9,984. relugee garments ;>,()14, surgical dressings 61,629, old clothes 9,71.") on the first drive and 2, .590 on the second drive. A partial report on knitting was 7,138 garments. This report is not an accurate compilation because during the fiist few months branch and au.xiliary chapters sent in their completed work direct to St. Louis. It is thought safe to assume that Pittsburg County did twenty-five per cent more than the records thus show. HOME SERVICE COMMITTEE -^^ Mrs. a. p. Harris, Chairman '~ ' Miss Harriet Thomas, Secretary" The cares of the home service department continued as steadily as ever long after the glamor of military opei-ations had cca.sed and reconstruc- tion had set in on its long grind. This is the only war-time activity that is still in operation at the present time. The office of this committee was to lend all possil^le aid to the homes of soldiers. They would get information regarding the soldier, straighten out allotments, lend financial aid and perform scores of small yet ready- felt services. After the close of the war, returning soldiers, stretched the scope of the committee, and a great part of its activity now was to aid soldiers themselves to get insurance, back pay and allotments straightened out. A total of 1,172 families received the attention of the committee during the wai-. Compared to the numbei- of men who went from Pittsburg County, this is an astonishinj; figure. Financial assistance to an extent of $1,864.28 was rendered. Iluriiltrti Si\t\*five CANTEEN Mrs. W. H. Fuller. Chairman Characterized by its steady, unceasing demand, the Red Cross canteen was a job that required the utmost consecration on the part of its work- ers. The canteen was maintained at the McAlester station from Septem- ber, 1918, to July, 1919, scores of soldiers being given a bite to eat and a cheery word each day during that period. The ladies were able to fit up a room in the station with regular canteen equipment. In addition there was a small lounging room. Thirty-one thousand two hundred si.xty-two boys were served good things to eat absolutely free of charge. The total cost of supplies was $1,262.86. More than a thousand gallons of coffee were poured for the boys, 71,040 cigarettes given out, 29,514 lunches. This is e.xclusive of 1,050 picnic baskets donated by the community at large when the Pitts- burg County unit came home. Aiding Mrs. Fuller were the following: Mrs. Melven Cornish and Mrs. W. S. Ambrose, lieutenants; Mrs. E. T. Bradley, Mrs. F. C. Oiler, Mrs. Thomas Lally, Mrs. J. B. Rose, Mrs. W. F. Mclnnis, Mrs. J. F. Mc- Murray, Mrs. Leighton Worthley, Mrs. Alice Sarlls, Mrs. F. F. Lagrave, Mrs. Jennie Crutcher, Mrs. L. S. Willour, Mrs. J. B. McAlester, sergeants. Among the assistant sergeants were: Mrs. P. S. Lester, Mrs. Lewyn Crockett, Mrs. F. M. Chilson, Mrs. Finley Crain and Mrs. Noah Harrison. G. W. Miller acted as purchasing agent for the canteen. The Canteen in Full Blast. One Hundred Si.\t}*six JUMOK RED CROSS Mrs. K. J. l'\NMN To organize the boy-power and girl-power of tiie county into a force for the better prosecution of the war was a tedious task, but Mrs. Fannin's committee was able to accomplish the job with very satis- factory results. Most of the work was done through the schools. Some of the activities fostered among the young folks were conservation, war gardens, salvage work, sewing, knitting, manual training, Liberty Loan and War Savings Stamp club, health crusade. One shipment of garments sewed by the little girls contained 820 pieces. NURSING COMiVIirrEE Miss Julia Frkdhiuck. Aupusi, 191;; -February. lOlO MiJS. L. C. Cramkh. IVliruary. 1919-~0(toher. 1919 Four classes in home nuising and hygiene were conducted during the summer of 1919, under the tutelage of Miss Frederick. The course consisted of fifteen lesso'.is and was designed to help forestall a general sickness such as the influenza epidemic. During the war the committee took charge of registering all the nurses in this county, who thus placed themselves at the disposal of the government if called. Miss Alma Hardy of Quinton and Miss Bertha Leshe of Pittsburg were the two nur.ses .sent fiom Pittsburg County into actual military service. PURCHASING COMMITTEE Mrs. Louis Berlovmtz. (Chairman During the first few months of the war the American Red Cross was not sufficiently oiganized to furnish chapteis with materials. Conse- (luentiy, each chapter had to go into the open market and buy yai-n, cloth, thread, etc. For this position, Mrs. Louis Berlowitz was an admir- able choice, and her business acumen made the local funds go much farther than might have been expected.

Rice, local chairman, that produced results far beyond the fondest hopes and of the kind that gave ample evidence of his love of America. _ Mr. Goldman assumed charge of the sale of war savings stamps for his community and when his can- vass was finished it was found that he had sold a total of $18,025 worth. Of this amount $9,025 was sub- scribed by the Austrian- Poles, $3,200 by the Italians and $5,500 by the American residents. In speaking of his work and love of America, which he says is shared by his fellow countrymen, as well as others of foreign birth, Mr. Goldman said, "We who have come from afar— come from the old countries where we had not the liberty and freedom that are every man's privilege in America— seem to realize more than you who havebeen brought up in the land of the free what the meaning of patriotism is." As he spoke, Mr. Goldman lifted his eyes to the starry banner which floated in the afternoon sun- shine, and those who listened were stirred by the evi- dence of fervent love for his adopted country which shone in his face. Mr. Goldman was born in Poland but came to America in his youth to escape the pov- erty and oppression that were his lot there, and he was looked upon as one of the substantial citizens of Alderson for the quarter of a century he lived there.

At the end of this gruelling task we are in no mood to make apologies, yet we know there will be erroi's and omis- sions that will seem entirely unnecessary to the casual reader. If there are faces missing from the portrait section, it is because we were not able to get them after months of weary labor. If there are names missing from the lists, it is because neither friends nor i-elatives would volunteer to thus help us amplify the official records. If names are misspelled, records left out, slights done, we are sorry. We have done the best we could to present a complete, accurate, impartial history. We have checked and rechecked a hundred times, until we are afi'aid to check again for fear of committing some of the very ei-rors we ai'e trying to guard against. For all or most of the shoitcomings of the book, we place blame on the lassitude and lack of interest shown by the people of the county them- selves, wlio like all others, want to forget the war and its privations and horror. At that, we are proud of cur histoiy, and we do not hesitate to pre- sent it to you as it is, without apology or e.xcuse, but upon its merits as a souvenir history of Pittsburg County in the War.
