I,~ ~ COPYfilGHT MARSHAL FERDINAND FOCH Marshal Foch Pays Tribute to America I T is scarcely possible to fully appreciate Swhat the American soldier did to preserve this nation from a fate similar to the invasion of Belgium, the devastation of northern France or the massacres in Armenia. Marshal Foch, in speaking of the American soldiers, said: "They were superb. There is no other word. Our armies were fatigued by years of relentless struggle and the mantle of war lay heavily upon them. We were magniflcently comforted. by the virility of the Americans. The youth of the United States brought a renewal of the hope that Shastened victory. Not only was this moral factor of the highest importance, but also the enormous material aid placed at our disposal. Nobody among us will ever forget what America did." I==+ . AV., ------------- O(v kklý k'5 13 E are glad now that we see the facts with no veil of Sfalse pretense about them, to fight thus for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples, the German peoples included; for the rights of nations, 0 great and small, and the privilege of men everywhere to choose their way of life and of obedience. The world must be made U safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquests, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make. We are but one of the cham- j pions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make them.... But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts-for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own Governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free people as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free.-President Wilson, to Congress, April 2, 1917. a0IE 00 0 11 0 0 000 TD 0 P) sill 12 STATE OF MICHIGAN EXECUTIVE OFFICE ALBERT E.SLEEPER LANSING GOVERNOR January 12, 1920 To the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines of Kalamazoo County, Michigan: It gives me the greatest pleasure to pen this word of greeting to you whose deeds of valor have brought honor and glory to your County and your State. You were headed by a splendid soldier and a real man, the late Colonel Joseph Westnedge, whose untimely death all who knew him greatly deplore. The State of Michigan is proud of your war record. You and your comrades from other parts of the State carried with you to your training camps and across the seas the hopes and the hearts and the prayers of the folks at home. We expected big things of you; and we were not disappointed. You did big things. In every situation you proved yourselves worthy representatives of this great Commonwealth; and while we mourn for those of your number who have not returned with you, and who will not return, yet are we glad and proud to have you safely back among us. Nobly you did your part during the war, and I am sure you will play an equally worthy part now that the war is over. We all owe it to those who yielded up their lives in our cause to see to it that they shall not have died in vain, and that this country shall remain an American country, under the American flag and not under the red flag of anarchy and disloyalty.

In Flanders fields the poppies brow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely sinin~, fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset blow. Loved and were loved; and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe! To you, from falling hands, we throw The torch. Be yours to lift it hi~h! If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies blow In Flanders fields. 2.9 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY 1. John Robert Longley, 2 Lt. Co.

These were affiliated with the National Organization. Early in the month of April, when America's entrance into the European War seemed inevitable, the matter of organizing a local chapter was discussed in many community groups. Following an appeal by the Hon. John W. Adams to the Kalamazoo Rotary Club a meeting was called at the Chamber of Commerce April 4th, 1917, for the purpose of organizing a Chapter. The attendance was large. Judge John Adams was elected Temporary Chairman and Edward Desenberg, Secretary. Committees on arrangements, nomination, and by-laws were appointed to report at a public gathering on April 9th. ORGANIZATION On the evening of April 9th a large company of representative citizens met at the Academy of Music, and adopted a Constitution and by-laws. The following officers were elected: Chairman ------------............................................... Rev. John W. Dunning Vice-Chairman --------------------------...... --.........F.... Ford Rowe Executive Secretary--------......................................Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane Treasurer......-.-----..---... ---------------..... Charles S. Campbell The first Board of Directors consisted of the following: W. H. Stewart S. J. Wykel Mrs. W. E. Praeger Miss Lucy Gage Edward B. Desenberg Mrs. Herbert E. Johnson Mrs. Carl Blankenburg John W. Adams Charles A. Blaney L. H. Harvey Miss Mary McClure Mrs. E. P. Wilbur Mr. Dunning served throughout the war as Chairman, until ill-health compelled him to resign in April, 1919. Louis Rosenbaum was elected to fill the vacancy until November, 1919, when Joseph E. Brown was elected Chairman, he having served one year as Vice-Chairman. On May 17th, 1917, Mrs. Crane resigned the office of Executive Secretary to become Chairman of the State Woman's Committee, Council of National Defense. Mrs. John R. Hunter was elected to fill the vacancy, in which position she has served most efficiently for three years. Other members of the Board of Directors have been: Louis Rosenbaum, Mrs. E. H. Drake, John K. Walsh, John L. Hollander, Walter L. Otis and Joseph E. Brown. Upon the declaration of war, the Chapter at once organized for war service. The Trustees of the Peoples Church donated the use of their building, and this was general headquarters until September, 1917, when, through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Campbell and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Taylor, the Taylor home on South Park street was donated as a general headquarters. This was used, during the war, by most of the Red Cross organizations and committees. Vice-chairmen were appointed for each township in the county, and the organization of township branches was taken up in April, 1917. Branches were organized in Alamo, Climax, Comstock, Cooper, Galesburg, Richland, Ross, Schoolcraft, Scotts and Vicksburg. Branch Auxiliaries were established at Dry Prairie, Genesee Prairie and Yorkville. In Fulton, Portage, Prairie Ronde, Oshtemo, and Texas, vice-chairmen co-operated with the Chapter Directors, without regularly organized branches. Those who have served as Branch, Auxiliary, or Township chairmen are as follows: Alamo.....................Mrs. H. D. Williams.

Johnson MEMBERSHIP-FINANCE CAMPAIGNS During the week of May 21st, 1917, the first membership drive was conducted throughout the county, resulting in a membership of 7,000. The campaign was in charge of a large committee, headed by Judge John Adams. The first Christmas Roll Call, in December of the same year, was in charge of C. A. Wiedenfeller, and resulted in an enrollment of 12,000 members. The second Roll Call, in 1918, enlisted 20',000 members, among whom were 6,000 Juniors. The campaign was in charge of Ray O. Brundage. The third Roll Call, of 1919, shows a membership of 7,500, exclusive of Juniors, a year after the close of the war. Fred J. Bond was campaign manager. The first War Fund Campaign, in June, 1917, brought an apportionment of $75,000 to the Chapter. The campaign was in charge of the Chapter Chairman, ably assisted by members of the Board, Directors and other prominent citizens. Twenty thousand of the amount was raised at a mass meeting of men held on the first day of the campaign, and the remainder was subscribed in a two weeks campaign following. The apportionment for the Second War Fund, in May, 1918, was $50,000, which was paid out of funds collected by the Kalamazoo County Patriotic League, an organization composed of the various War Agencies, co-operating. The third War Fund apportionment of $10,000 was provided in the same manner. All apportionments throughout the history of the Chapter have been met in full andthe organization has been most generously financed by the citizens of the county. In all the activities of the Chapter there has been a remarkable spirit of energy and co-operation. Individuals, churches, schools, lodges, business institutions, labor unions, neighborhood groups, and: citizens of every class and condition, have united to make a great service possible. The following are some of the details of the work carried on by the Chapter in the past three years: FINANCE During the three years the treasurer, Mr. C. S. Campbell, has carried two funds, one known as the "American Red Cross National Fund," which consisted of money placed to the credit of the National organization, as the Chapter's percentage to National work; and a second fund known as the "Chapter Fund," which was the money set aside and used for the work of the Chapter itself, in all its activities. The Annual reports show that up to November 1st, 1919, there had been disbursed to the National' Fund, $115,986.46; and to the Chapter Fund, $135,086.29; with a balance in the treasury of $5,421.31. The total of the above amounts is $256,404.06. Since November 1st, 1919, the Patriotic League made its final payment to the Chapter of $22,292.28. This makes a grand total of $278,696.34. The final apportionment of $10,000 in 1919 was paid out of State Funds, by a general arrangement for the state and is not included. 240 241 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY WAR RELIEF AND SHOP Early in the Chapter's history plans were made for War Relief Work. Mrs. E. P. Wilbur, of the Board of Directors, was appointed to take the matter in charge, and the first workshop was established under her supervision in rooms in the Boudeman block, donated by Mr. Dallas Boudeman, early in the summer of 1917. By autumn the work had grown to such proportions that a larger organization was necessary. Miss Margaret Cobb was made General Supervisor of all War Relief Work for women. Mrs. John Adams was appointed supervisor of the knitting department; Miss Alice Blair, Mrs. J. A. Pitkin, surgical dressings. Mrs. A. A. Guerne and Mrs. F. S. Parsons were appointed to supervise packing and shipping. The work of the garment and knitting departments was done largely outside the shop. The township branches, auxiliaries and neighborhood groups in charge of township chairmen, together with churches, lodges, sewing societies, and hundreds of individuals, performed this service, the materials being provided from shop headquarters. Thirty different organizations co-operated in this work. The surgical dressings were made entirely in the shop, under the supervision of workers trained in the Central Division School. The first shop soon proved too small, and later was moved to the Taylor House. Early in the spring, 1918, the shop was moved to Gilmore Brothers' store, where space was donated by this firm. It remained there until closed in the summer of 1919. Other departments remained in the Taylor House. During the war period the shop was crowded daily with hundreds of workers. To this service the womanhood of the county responded magnificently. In the war period from November, 1917, to June, 1919, 196,032 surgical dressings were shipped. A supply left on hand, after calls ceased, was turned over to local hospitals. The hospital and refugee garment department shipped 28,320 garments and 2,521 vests, property bags and comfort kits. The total was 30,842 articles. The knitting department shipped 13,574 pieces of knitted goods. In all 349 large packing cases were shipped during this period. Over 1,000 pounds of yarn remaining was shipped abroad at the close of the war, and 189 pairs of blankets and 11 quilts. The children of the Junior Red Cross made and contributed 1,054 story books for the military hospitals, and many knitted covers which were sent to hospitals in France. HOME SERVICE The Home Service work of the Chapter was an outgrowth of. the original Civilian Relief Committee appointed in the spring of 1917. In the fall of that year it became apparent that there was to be a field of service in the work represented by this title. Mrs. Carl Kleinstuck, Chairman of Civilian Relief, was made Chairman for this work. During the months of October, November and December, 1917, but one call came. However, beginning with January, 1918, the work of this department began to increase rapidly and by October, 1918, the Service was handling 250 cases per month. The first Secretary of the Home Service Section was Miss Rosa Stern, who for more than a year gave her entire time to its growing tasks. During the first year 1,096 families were given service, and 249 calls were made giving information. The total expended the first year was $4,580.27. During the second year ending November, 1919, cases to the number of 3,529 were helped, and $10,104.54' was expended. Mrs. Kleinstuck resigned in 1918 and for the past year Rev. B. F. P. Ivins has been chairman of the Committee. Miss Stern was compelled to give up her work on account of ill health, and Mrs. A. L. Zwisler was employed to take her place. She has had charge of the work for the past year. The varied forms of work called for in this department which consisted of practically every form *of service to the families of the men in the army, has continued, following the war, in the service of adjusting the situation of the returned soldier and his family, to new conditions occasioned by his service. 242 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY EDUCATIONAL The Chapter has conducted a continuous educational cam'paign for two years. In the month of May, 1917, Miss Mary C. Trafford, a Red Cross nurse and graduate of the Denver Colorado County Hospital, was employed by the Chapter, and classes have been held throughout the entire period, in Hygiene, Home Nursing, First Aid, and Dietetics. During the first six months fifteen classes were held with an enrollment of 201. The year following fifteen additional classes were conducted with an enrollment of 194. During 1919 ten classes were conducted with 155 enrolled. In addition Miss Trafford has addressed numberless meetings; and through the Junior Red Cross, health campaigns have been held in all the schools of the county. The Chapter has had a departmient of publicity which has kept health matters before the public through papers and posters. The newspapers and various advertising agencies of the county rendered service in publicity. NURSING SERVICE In the fall of 1918 a survey of the county revealed the need of nursing service. Affairs in the city of Kalamazoo are handled by its health department, but there was little organized effort in.the county itself. Miss Trafford was chosen Superintendent, aod a nursing service was organized with the cooperation of the County Board of Supervisors, which body furnished an automobile and $1,500 to start the work, the Chapter assuming the balance Surveys were made of all the schools of the county, and with the co-operation of the School Boards, County Superintendent of Schools and teachers, regular instruction is given school children. Clinics have been held in all the larger centers, and many smaller ones. The physicians have given generously of their time to this work. In June, 1919, the work had grown to such an extent that an additional nurse was placed in the field. Miss Nell Lemmer, a graduate of Bronson Hospital and of the Red Cross course of the U. of M., was employed. In January, 1920, a third nurse, Miss Caroline Hollenbeck, a graduate of Samaritan Hospital, Detroit, was employed. The Chapter has purchased three automobiles; and, with the county districted, our nurses are doing most efficient work in public health. During the past year 90 addresses were made, 335 visits were made for nursing service, 431 children were examined, laboratory tests of water, etc., were made, nurses and ambulance service supplied to many, and various other forms of service given. Mothers' Clubs have been organized in several of the schools and every effort is made to link the homes with the schools in the health interest. During the influenza epidemic of 1918, the Chapter at the request of the city Health Board maintained an emergency hospital from October 17 to November 20. The home of Mrs. H. H. Everard, West South street, was used through the courtesy of herself and family for this hospital. Seventynine patients were cared for during the month, at an expense of $1,271. Through the co-operation of the entire community the hospital was equipped, and received its first patients twelve hours after the move was decided upon. Miss Trafford and Mrs. E. P. Wilbur had charge of this work. A nursing survey was made of the county in 1919 which revealed 213 nurses available, of whom 43 were graduates and 75 partly trained in the Red Cross courses. This survey has been of great service during the epidemic of the past winter. The Chapter Nursing Committee consists of Mrs. Carl Blankenburg, Chairman, Mrs. Ellis Drake and John W. Dunning. MOTOR CORPS In the fall of 1918 a Motor Corps was organized with about forty women drivers enrolled. The corps was in charge of Mrs. William Loveland. Classes were conducted for all members, through the courtesy of local garages, and 10 completed the full course. During the months of September, October and November, 1918, six hundred calls were answered. A special downtown office was maintained. After the armistice was signed no regular service was maintained, but the drivers responded to many calls, in the interest of returning soldiers, during the spring and summer of 1919. A complete record of these calls was not kept. 243 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross was organized in the schools of the county in November, 1917. The first year there were 3,000 members. The annual report for 1918 shows 7,000 members, with fifty auxiliaries, in as many schools. The members of the Junior Red Cross made hundreds of story scrap books for the hospitals, a large amount of refugee clothing, and other hospital and camp materials. The children furnished a room in the Red Cross Hut at Camp Custer, in connection with the-Base Hospital. They also gathered nearly a carload of nut shells for the Gas Mask Department of the army, and served the Chapter and the nation in many other ways. The organization raised about $2,000 in cash for its work. Dr. L. H. Harvey, was the Board's representative having the organization in charge. Miss Jessie Walton, was chairman of the Juniors. Health campaigns were conducted in the city school by Miss Ethel Rockwell, of the Physical Education Department; and by Miss Trafford and Miss Lemmer in the county schools. CANTEEN Ann Arbor, Mich., Aug. 27, 19.17. Kalamazoo County American Red Cross On orders from Washington your chapter is hereby requested to appoint at once a Canteen Committee to be organized and ready to provide refreshment if and when needed for troops en route through your city. Railroad officials have been directed by the war department to acquaint accredited Red Cross representatives with all required details of movement of trains carrying troops to enable chapters to render such service and you are requested to have all necessary inquiries on that subject made of railroad officials to enable your committee to be fully prepared. Movement of troops on large scale will soon begin. FREDERICK W. STEVENS. 754A Aug. 28. Upon receipt of the foregoing telegram the Klamazoo Chapter American Red Cross appointed Mrs. Herbert E. Johnson Commandant with power to act. A Railroad Canteen of fifty men and women put themselves under strict military discipline and with but a few exceptions served continuously from the time of their appointment until the movement of troops was practically completed after the signing of the Armistice. Six companies served under their respective captains meeting all special trains and all regular trains between the hours of eight a. m. and nine p. m. that passed through the city. Each company served regular trains one day in the week and held themselves in readiness to serve special trains, should they occur, two days in the week. Through the courtesy of the Michigan Central Railroad a Red Cross Hut was built for the Canteen and located at the corner of Rose street and the depot, and this hut was furnished throughout by Mr. and Mrs. Edson Clarage, former residents of Kalamazoo. From this building, the official headquarters, coffee, doughnuts, sandwiches, gum, candy, stamps, post-cards, cigarettes, flowers, fruit, and, in hot weather, ice-water, were served the men to and from the front or on their way to any Camp that took them through Kalamazoo. No man in the service was ever denied a request for food, drink, or a smoke, at this hut and no request for service, however menial or trivial was denied the man in transit. When the hospital trains with their loads of sick and wounded or convalescing men began to move towards the hospitals in our own country, the Kiwanis Club furnished scarlet carnations for every man entrained, passing through this city. What joy these fragrant messengers gave cannot be described; many men not having possessed a flower and, in many cases, not having seen one except the poppies on Flanders' field since leaving their native land. From the time these faithful men and women met the 32nd Regiment with Col. Joseph B.

The clothing for the Belgian Relief was collected, packed, and shipped, under the direction of this Committee. Telegrams by the score were sent by the Committee whether the money accompanied the wire or not; phone messages were repeated to loved ones; letters stamped and mailed, dentists called to pull aching teeth; supplies ordered and delivered; packages forgotten in the haste of the boy changing trains were sent on; many friendly smiles and cheering words the boy looked for and received from the women in the azure uniform and the man with the Canteen insignia on his arm; the magazine and newspaper purchased by the Canteener herself and given to the chap who looked as though he needed just that, who can tell the amount of good done by the Railroad Canteen. On behalf of the woman who was told over the phone by a member of this committee when asked to play cards, "I can't, you know I canteen today." and who asked "what are teen, I never canned any," let us say, the woman or man who canteened, although he served his country in a fine self-sacrificing way and helped in a great measure to keep up the morale of the men, wrought better than he knew, for he can never again be indifferent to the wants and needs of the friendless boy. 245 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY SPECIAL ACTIVITIES Refugee Clothing At a special call for refugee clothing for Belgian Relief in the summer of 1917 the Chapter collected and forwarded to the Belgian Relief Committee thirty-six large cases of clothing and shoes. Again in the spring of 1919 a similar shipment was made answering the second call of the national organization, for this purpose. Christmas Packets At the Christmas season 1917 the Canteen Committee prepared 3,000 Christmas packets for the overseas soldiers, which were sent through Divisional Headquarters. In 1918 the Chapter acted as forwarding agent and inspector for about 3000 relatives sending packages to men in service, furnishing boxes, labels and instructions, and shipping packages through the local postoffice. A special committee was appointed for this purpose, with Mrs. W. R. Taylor, and Mrs. Walter Crawford, Chairmen. Nut Shells for Gas Mask Chemicals At the request of the government the Chapter co-operated in the gathering of nut shells for use in the gas service. About two carloads were shipped to the division headquarters. A large supply remaining after the calls ceased was turned over to the Salvation Army for fuel. Overseas Service Captain Joseph E. Brown, Vice-President of the Chapter during the war, entered the overseas service of the Red Cross and was for six months in charge of Dartforth Hospital, England. The 126th Michigan Regiment The Kalamazoo Chapter had special interest in the 126th Michigan Infantry, two companies of which were recruited in the county, and whose commanding officer was Colonel Joseph Westnedge, of Kalamazoo. En route to their point of embarkation for France, the regiment stopped in Kalamazoo and were entertained in a day's festivities, planned and executed by the Red Cross, with the co-operation of the entire citizenship of the county. Welcome Home Day May 22, 1919, will be a day long remembered by Kalamazoo County. A welcome Home Day was held in honor of all the county's service men. In addition to all other troops of the county, 2,000 men of the 32nd Division which included Col. "Joe's" regiment, just returned from Germany, were present and were served with dinner by the Chapter under direction of its Canteen Committee. Lodging for Truck Drivers During the war a motor route for trucks was established between Detroit and Chicago. The Chapter furnished lodging for hundreds of the drivers stopping in Kalamazoo over night. Home Service School In the fall of 1918 a school of instruction was held in Kalamazoo, with two instructors, Mrs. Elsinger and Miss Ewing, from Central Division Headquarters. Sixteen graduated from this course and gave much service to the committee. It has been impossible in the limits of this article to catalogue the names of the hundreds who> have contributed tQ the splendid war record of the Kalamazoo Chapter. Only those who have held official positions have been mentioned, for the purpose of giving a permanent record. To those hundreds who have served the various departments of the Chapter's service, the thanks of a victorious and redeemed nation are due. JOHN W IRT DUNN[ING.

According to the reports of County Chairmen $1,313,850 worth of bonds were purchased of the first issue, $2,228,100 worth of the second, $2,779,900 of the third, $3,750,000 of the fourth and $2,227,900 of the fifth-making a total for the five issues of $11,299,750 loaned to the government by the people of Kalamazoo County exclusive of bonds subscribed for by the enlisted men of the county, most of which were taken out in the different camps in this country and France. To the county and city chairmen and the men and women on the different committees, to the newspapers, to the moving picture houses, and to the banks of the county, great credit is due for the splendid showing made by Kalamazoo during the five Liberty Loan drives. The name Liberty Loan applies to the five great loans placed among the American people by popular subscription under the different bond acts passed by Congress during the years of the war. In the First Loan in May, 1917, Kalamazoo's quota was $1,250,000, Mr. E. J. Phelps, County Chairman of the committee in charge, with Chas. S. Campbell, Vice-Chairman, and Louis Rosenbaum, City Chairman. When the returns were in $1,313,850 had been subscribed. The Second Loan drive in October, 1917, with a quota of $2,241,300 was conducted by Mr. Chas. S. Campbell as County Chairman, Walter L. Otis, Vice-Chairman, A. J. Todd, City Chairman, Mr. C. M. Bush, Manager of Sales, C. M. Wiedenfeller, Secretary. The amount subscribed during this loan was $2,228,100. The Third Loan was launched on April 15, 1918. Kalamazoo County's share of this issue was set at $1,369,400. The committee having this loan in charge and putting the county well over the top was: County Chairman, Chas. S. Campbell, Vice-Chairman, Walter L. Otis, Secretary, Chas. A. Wiedenfeller. The amount subscribed was $1,779,900. The Fourth Loan was called for in September, 1918, and again the people rallied wonderfully, the allotment this time was much larger than for either of the previous loans, $2,450,000. Mr. Fred M. Hodge was elected County Chairman for this drive with W. S. Cooke, City Chairman, C. G. Bard, W. S. Cooke and J. H. Dewing, Executive Committee; Ralph Emery, Headquarters Manager, Publicity Committee, Wm. L. Brownell, F. J. Bond and A. E. Kettle. The amount subscribed was $2,750,000. The Fifth or Victory Loan drive took place in April, 1919, with a quota of $1,860,450. The chairman of the committee having this loan in charge was Mr. George Wigginton, the other members of the committee are given in the story of this loan written by Mr. Wigginton. The personnel of the committees for each of the loans comprised about the same people as those given in the story of the Fifth Loan. With a record of $11,299,750 loaned the United States to prosecute the great war that liberty might be preserved, Kalamazoo County may always be proud that it helped place Michigan second in the list of states in the support of the Government's call for money. The Wall Street Journal of October 29, 1919, gives the following regarding the percentages of over subscriptions of the quotas, Connecticut, 49.95%, Alaska 40.96%, District of Columbia 39.65%, Michigan 35.70%. 248 249 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN The Fifth Victory Liberty Loan drive was scheduled to open on April 21, 1919, five months and ten days after the signing of the Armistice had brought hostilities to a close. The months that followed the signing of the Armistice showed a decided relaxation on the part of the American people and a decided desire to return to normal conditions as rapidly as possible. However, the necessity for raising this loan existed, and as is usual with the American public, whatever is necessary to be done must be accomplished. The Federal Reserve Bank at Chicago having this matter in charge, sent its emissaries to Kalamazoo to lay the groundwork, select a chairman, and get the activities started in order to accomplish the work in this County. Mr. Fre'd R. Fenton and Mr. R. J. Boyle were assigned to the district which included Kalamazoo County. Mr. Fenton came to Kalamazoo and at a dinner at the Park-American Hotel on February twenty-first, 1919, at which a large number of the representative men and women of Kalamazoo were present, a chairman, Mr. George P. Wigginton, was selected to head the Fifth Victory Loan. The Chairman, a short time afterwards, began the organization necessary to accomplish results quickly. It was felt by the Chairman and his advisers that only by a very careful and complete organization properly functioning could the amount allotted to Kalamazoo, $1,860,450, be raised within the time allowed by the Treasury Department at Washington. The city was divided into districts, and a chairman for each district was appointed. Each Township was made a separate district and had a chairman. Under each chairman so selected a large number of possible workers were named. There was to be a four days voluntary campaign, followed, if necessary, by solicitations. About two weeks prior to the opening of the campaign on April 21, 1919, the Committees were given definite educational work to do. To William L. Brownell, the Publicity Chairman, was given the responsibility for general publicity propaganda, and to his splendid 'work much of the success of the campaign can be attributed. The publicity work consisted of advertising matter published in the various newspapers in the County, and leaflets and pamphlets distributed throughout the County by means of the Committee Chairmen, and their workers. Speakers were selected by the bureau having this in charge and talks were made in various sections, the idea being to cover the entire County fully by advertising, and by public discussion, so that the citizens of Kalamazoo County might thoroughly understand the reasons for the Loan and the tremendous necessity of its being promptly subscribed. Mr. J. K. Balch was selected as the Newspaper Publicity Chairman and a most effective campaign was inaugurated through all the newspapers in the County. The campaign was opened on schedule time, Monday, April 21, 1919. The banks throughout the County 'were designated as places where subscriptions would be received. Where no banks were located, special arrangements were made in convenient centers for the receipt of subscriptions. The banks, these special centers, and the Liberty Loan Headquarters began receiving subscriptions, and at the end of the first day it was evident that the public appreciated the necessity of subscribing the Loan promptly. During the four days on which voluntary subscriptions could be made, a number of devices were adopted to keep public interest alive to the fact that the Liberty Loan Drive had opened and that subscriptions were being received. Literature was distributed on the streets, music was -provided; and speakers were utilized in a very effective way. The Boy Scouts rendered effective service at this time. The voluntary subscriptions culminated in an over subscription of the Loan on Thursday night, the subscriptions totalling on this night about $125,000 above the allotted quota of the County. It was then decided that, inasmuch as the citizens of Kalamazoo County had raised the Loan so splendidly, no direct solicitations would be made. Voluntary subscriptions were received until the end of the three-week period, when a total over-subscription of $367,450 was shown. One of the important features of the campaign was distribution, and one which was impressed strongly upon the minds of the district chairmen. As far as the Committee can determine from the actual figured results, the distribution of the bonds in Kalamazoo County amounted to 17,286 individual owners of bonds, or practically one bond for every four people in the County. 250 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY GENERAL COMMITTEE George P.

Lynn'B. Mason This Board had under its Jurisdiction nearly 60,000 registered men and 11 different local draft hoards. The Board had final say upon every appeal case from these various local hoards and also original jurisdiction over all occupational, industrial and agricultural exemption claims. As evidence of the quality of work done it is only necessary to say that no case passed upon by this hoard either in its appellate original jurisdiction was reversed hy the Presidential Board, during the entire war. The governmental appeal agents for Kalamazoo county and city were Fred A. Mills, Lynn B. Mason and Donald C. Osborn. The work of these agents was to make appeals in behalf of the government to the District Board of Appeals where there was any reason for thinking that the government's interests were beingý in any way injured by a registrant's classification hy the local boards. Much good work was done by these men who often worked in co-operation with the Department of Justice and as often independently of them. Occasionally these agents worked upon information obtained from interested citizens but oftener by personal request of the Board of Appeals or some member of said Board. The Selective-Service Act for the Great War was' enacted May 18, 1917. The Board of Control for the city of Kalamazoo was appointed within two days and consisted of James B. Balch, Paul T. Butler, Harry C. Howard and Maurice E. McMartin. This Board conducted the first registration for the city of Kalamazoo on the now historic day of June 5, 1917. The Registration was well-nigh perfect and was accomplished without a hitch, so well was the organization worked out in its every detail. About 80 volunteers were secured for the then 14 precincts of the city. The Registration was accomplished without cost to the Government.In recognition of Dr. Butler's work upon this Board he was named by President Wilson upon the District Board of Appeals for Division Number One Western (Judicial) District, state of Michigan, consisting of the counties of Berrien, St. Joseph, Van Buren, Kalamazoo (including city of Kalamazoo), Allegan, Case, Barry and Eaton. He received the appointment July 25, 1917, and was discharged July 25, 1919. Upon this -Board were also Hon. W. W. Potter of Hastings, Hon. Frank S. Cummings of Centerville, Hon. Carmi R. Smith of Niles, and Martin Grady of Kalamazoo. 252 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY KALAMAZOO MEDICAL ADVISORY BOARD S*Ai 1. Dr. W. A. Stone 3. Dr. C. E. Boys 6. Dr. E. P. Wilbur 2. Dr. A. W. Crane 4. Dr. J. B. Jackson 5. Dr. C. A. Wise Early in the work of examining recruits for the Army it was found that many men presented themselves at Camp where after examination they were rejected and sent home because of physical disabilities. The expense of transportation, board and clothing for the number of rejected men was very great. The cause for these rejections was laid to the fact that in the great rush of examining men by the Local Draft Boards, there was not sufficient time to study the cases thoroughly enough when there was any question as to their being fit for the Army. In order to prevent a larger number of these unfit men from going to the Camps, the Surgeon General of the Army appointed, through the Governors of the various states, what was termed "The Medical Advisory Boards." These were made up of specialists in the different lines of medical practice so that any given case could receive more exhaustive study than there would be time for at the hands of the Local Draft Board. The Medical Advisory Board located at Kalamazoo was called number twelve, and consisted of the following medical men: Dr. J. B. Jackson..--...........------Internal Medicine. Dr. W. A. Stone.----------...............Nervous and Mental Diseases. Dr. E. P. Wilbur..-------.Eye, Ear, Nose. Dr. C. A. Wise...............----------.Dentistry. Dr. C. E. Boys----.....................------... Surgery.. Dr. A. W. Crane-------...................... Laboratory and X-Ray. The above men were all residents of Kalamazoo. The work of this Board covered not only Kalamazoo County, but most of the southwestern corner of Michigan. Several hundred cases were examined during the draft period. The Advisory Board after examining these cases, and having a consultation, with the whole board present, reported back to the Local Draft Boards with such recommendations in each case as they thought proper. The Local Board then acted in accordance with the recommendation of the Advisory Board or not as they deemed best. The Medical Advisory Board served purely in an advisory capacity and could neither accept nor reject any person; this being the function solely of the Local Draft Boards. The Kalamazoo Advisory Board had its headquarters in the basement of the Court House and was ably assisted in the work by the Secretary, Miss Marion E. Ranney. 253 4;~ ITKIM, W~a 3 4ý`G~X "I "N %~'1:::k~'~t:::::::_::ffl/: ýW " ý6.4 VM % 7;ý rez N g Mg."ý~::~::~~:~ ~ ~ 1. D. W.A. Sone3. D. C.E. Boys6. D. E.P. Wlbu 2. r.A.. rae 4 D..

Chas. H. Farrell 2. Geo. V. Weimer 3. Winm. L. Fitzgerald The Legal Advisory Board for Kalamazoo County constituted a part of the civilian machinery employed by the Government in selecting those persons who, under the Selective Service Regulations, were considered best fitted to render military service in the World War. Approximately ten thousand questionnaires were filled out and filed under the supervision of the Legal Advisory Board. Furthermore, the matter of War Risk Insurance, Allottments of Sailors and Soldiers, Family Allowance, the provisions of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Rights Acts were explained, and the legal rights and pei-sonal affairs of those entering military service were cared for and protected. In the performance of these duties the Legal Advisory Board had at its command the services of the lawyers of the Kalamazoo County Bar, and a great number of other citizens, who as associate members gave unhesitatingly and unselfishly invaluable assistance to the Board in the accomplishment of their work. The Board was appointed by Hon. Albert E. Sleeper, Governor of Michigan, pursuant to and following the issuance by President Wilson of the Selective Service Regulations, and was discharged from further service in the early part of nineteen hundred twenty. WM. L. FITZGERALD. KALAMAZOO COUNTY WAR BOARD By an act of the 1917 Michigan Legislature Governor Albert E. Sleeper was authorized to appoint in each of the eighty-three Counties of the State a board to be known as the "County War Board" whose function should be to oversee the carrying on in the county the different war activities undertaken by the State War Board. The War Board of Kalamazoo County was the central war organization of the county. The first members named on the Board were Charles S. Campbell, Fred M. Hodge and Charles H. Farrell, later the following members were added, Dr. S. Rudolph Light, Mrs. L. T. Bennett and Mrs. Arta Fisher, of Scotts. The work of this Board was financed from the $5,000,000 War Fund voted by the 1917 legislature. Credit is due the Kalamazoo County War Board for much of the success of the numerous drives for funds made during the years of the war. 254 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY KALAMAZOO COUNTY DRAFT BOARDS 1. Dr. L. V. Rogers 4. Dr. Rush McNair 7. Dr. E. D. Sage 2. Louis Strong 5. Harry C. Howard 8. Archie E. Hughes 3. Win. T. O'Brien 6. Fred R. Eaton Under the Selective Service Act of May 18, 1917, the men of Kalamazoo County registered for Military service during the years of the War. That the man power of the nation might be used to the best possible advantage; that the essential industries might not be crippled and yet the government be furnished with the country's quota of fighting men was the great responsibility placed upon the draft boards of the country. For this purpose Kalamazoo County was divided into three districts. Two of the draft boards were in the city of Kalamazoo and one in the county. Draft Board No. 1 comprised approximately one-half of the area of the city of Kalamazoo. Draft Board No. 1 Mr. H. A. Crawford, Chairman. Dr. E. D. Sage. Dr. Rush McNair. Draft Board No. 2 Mr. Harry C. Howard, Chairman. Mr. Archie E. Hughes. Mr. Fred R. Eaton. Counrty Draft Board Mr. Louis Strong, Chairman, Vicksburg. Dr. L. V. Rogers, Galesburg. Mr. William T. O'Brien, Kalamazoo. The District Board, otherwise known as the Appeal Board, was located in the city of Kalamazoo. In addition to these boards, was the Medical Advisory Board, which had to do with. the physical examination of the registrants, and the Legal Advisory Board. In the task of registering and examining the registrants the local draft boards were assisted by members of the medical and 255 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY legal professions and many other patriotic citizens, including teachers of our various educational institutions. The local boards held daily meetings to hear matters which arose in connection with the work of registration at which meetings those interested were invited to be present, and were given full opportunity to present their views on any question touching the workings of the draft. These hearings comprised everything that concerned the men who were about to become soldiers. The Draft Boards undertook to impress upon the boys that they were part of the Selective Service of the Nation, rather than drafted men, as we had been wont to think of drafted men. It was sought to convey to their minds that in this emergency they were selected for that branch of service in which they could best serve their country. We are proud to say that in Kalamazoo the "slacker" was the rare exception, but few instances occurring on any of the boards in this county. From the time the Selective Service was put in force until the Armistice was signed, the boards were kept busy. Our experience was that a large percentage of the registrants selected their branch and eagerly sought to be accepted without waiting to be notified that they had actually been drafted. HARRY C. HOWARD. FUEL ADMINISTRATION Under the Food and Fuel Act of Congress passed August 10, 1917, National, State and County Fuel Administrators were appointed. The aim of the Administration being to supply the war industries, public utilities and domestic consumers with fuel, and to this end the co-operation of the coal dealers and all users of coal was asked. The work in Kalamazoo County was ably carried on under the direction of Bartlett C. Dickinson, County Fuel Administrator, assisted by Louis Rosenbaum and August Schied. Reports on coal needed and sold were made to these officials, so that if shortage existed anywhere it might be alleviated in the fairest and speediest manner possible. In the main the citizens responded loyally to the appeal to use a minimum of coal, and light made from coal; to the limited number of hours during which electric signs should burn; to the darkened store windows, etc., in very few instances was it necessary to resort to force to have the fuel regulations complied with. Great issues were at stake. Men and supplies must be transported overseas and the work in the essential industries maintained. The regulation of the use of fuel played a large part in the successful conduct of the War. ARMORY BOARD OF CONTROL The Armory Board of Control was reorganized in the year of 1916, with Mr. Herbert E. Johnson as Chairman and Disbursing Officer, and Joseph B. Westnedge, Don C. Ingram, Geo. P. Wigginton and P. L. Abbey as members of the Board. The first job tackled by this Armory Board of Control was not particularly war work, but it paved the way for that which was later done by the Board as war work. When the Armory was built there was an old debt left which this Board of Control raised by popular subscription. Following this they succeeded in getting the State Legislature to appropriate more than $5,000.00 for needed repairs on the building, which placed the Kalamazoo Armory in first class shape. 256 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY ARMORY BOARD OF CONTROL AND COMMITTEE 1. George Wigginton 2. Herbert E. Johnson 3. Don C. Ingram 4. F. Ford Rowe 5. George B. Pulfer About that time, the Michigan National Guard was called out, and Col. Joe, who commanded the 126th Regiment of which the Kalamazoo boys were members, used this fine Armory as headquarters for his Regiment during the time they were being mobilized. The Board was helpful in assisting Col. Joe with his mobilization work. They raised a going away fund, by popular subscription, when the National Guard went to the Mexican Border the first time, during the disturbance with the Mexicans. From this fund the boys were able to provide floors for their mess hall, additional dishes, additional medical supplies, and better food for their Sunday dinners in the way of ice cream, etc. Each Company had $100.00 and the Sanitary Department had in the neighborhood of $400.00. The money was raised under the personal direction of Mr. H. E. Johnson, Chairman of the Armory Board of Control. He was also instrumental in providing positions in various manufacturing institutions for 65 boys, when the local Companies returned from the Mexican border. Mr. F. F. Rowe and Mr. George B. Pulfer assisted the Armory Board of Control in these various campaigns. When our local Companies left for the training camp at Waco on their way to France, the Armory Board of Control again demonstrated its deep interest in the boys by providing additional going away funds. The Board of Control, under the direction of Mr. Johnson, not only looked after the welfare of the Armory, but was very active in all branches of war work. Mr. Johnson's time and money were given freely and without any thought of receiving praise or being complimented for it. His motto during the war was "service" for the good of the boys. The writer of this article knows better than anyone else the amount of time and energy put in by Mr. Johnson. His first thought during the war was, "how well can we do the job which we have to do." He gave much of his time as did Mr. Wigginton in Liberty Loan Campaign addresses and organization work. RAY 0.

During the summer of 1918, a colonel in command of fifteen hundred deserters at Fort Leavenworth decided to learn the reasons his prisoners would give for fool-heartedly risking their military reputation for the sake of a few hours leave. He commissioned five men to conduct the inquiry. "Are you ready to make your report on the cause for de'sertions?" the colonel asked the spokesman on his return. "Yes, Sir," hie replied. "Your first reason?" questioned the colonel. "We find, sir, that the main reason for desertion in the army is homesickness." "Your other reasons," anticipated the officer. "The other reasons are unimportant, sir." "Do you mean to say that the reason the men desert from the army is because they get homesick?" "Yes, sir," replied the foreman, "it is the longing for home, and for home comforts, and companionships that cause desertion." To make Kalamazoo JUST LIKE HOME to soldiers, sailors and marines has been the job of War Camp, Community Service. To bring this about, the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, with Dr. Raymond B. Fosdick, as Chairman, provided for the opening of a branch of War Camp Community Servite in Kalamazoo. This city's close proximity to Camp Custer caused it to be listed as a camp city, many men visiting the city from camp, especially over the week-ends, and hence it was considered a logical location for one of the six hundred services established by the Commission throughout the country., The Commission's representative arrived in Kalamazoo on Saturday, July 6, 19,18. During the afternoon he learned that over five thousand soldiers had left Camp Custer that afternoon for Kalamazoo, and throughout the evening he saw the streets, stores, moving picture theaters, soda fountains and' parks filled with men in khaki. After the civilian crowds had left the business district, hundreds of service men continued to roam the streets, and toward midnight, whole rows of them were seen sitting on the curb-stones, waiting for late cars and taxi-cabs to take them back to camp. At the first meeting of the local Board, it was determined that s~ome central headquarters should be provided for these men, a place to rest, read, write letters., play games or buy light lunches at cost. To this end the quarters of the old Wortley store at 121 West Main street., just opposite the Burdick Hotel, were procured, and on Saturday, August 24th, 1918. this club room was opened, named the Red Circle Club, taking as its sign the insignia of 'the Service which provided these facilities. Except for the sale of light lunches at cost, every facility of the club was free, including telephone, information bureau, reading and writing materials, piano-player, victrola, easy chairs, pool and billiards, shoe shining materials, safety razors, and checking service. It is needless to say that these facilities were much appreciated and used. Without special inducements to use the place, over four hundred men visited the Club the first day, over five hundred the second, thereafter from three to five thousand men every week. On one Sunday in November, 2,407 calls were counted in the single day. From the time of opening to the end of demobilization, approximately 125,000 calls were made at the Red Circle Club by service men. HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY During the long quarantine of the camp in October and November, because of the epidemic of influenza, the community organizer made two and three trips to camp by automobile each week, taking to the Base Hospital magazines, victrola records, jelly, cookies, cakes, fruit, and on one instance, at the suggestion of camp authorities, pillows, cases, sheets, and minor hospital supplies. For Thanksgiving over five hundred doughnuts were secured through the Second Reformed Church and taken to the Base Hospital Y. M. C. A. for their holiday party. The directors for girls' work arrived in Kalamazoo on September 28th, 1918, and immediately set to work to organize the girls for patriotic service. The first tangible service was in the form of a weekly party, given Saturday nights at the Masonic Temple, attended by from one hundred to one hundred and fifty service men. Later when the number of men visiting the city became smaller, these parties were transferred to the Chamber of Commerce auditorium, attracting an average of fifty men each week. However, in many other ways the girls' division rendered real service. Those most outstanding were the serving of light refreshments in the Club on special occasions, as New Year's Day, assistance given to any organization giving entertainment to the men and needing help of the sort the girls could give, the collection of some fourteen crates of oranges, besides twentyfive dollars, the fruit being distributed among patients and men at the Base Hospital, the taking of flowers to about three hundred men in the hospital on Mother's Day, and the securing of groups of colored girls to be taken to camp parties at the colored hostess house. In addition to the direct soldier service, the girls division has endeavored to establish a stronger esprit de corps among Kalamazoo girls. Neighborhood picnics have been encouraged and organizations toward this end have made much progress. A census has been made of all Kalamazoo girls between the ages of 16 and 25, the girls expressing their likes and dislikes along recreational and educational lines, and then given an opportunity to affiliate with classes where they may develop their inclinations along any wholesome line. On several occasions girls have been taken to camp for entertainment at the hospital, community house or Y. M. C. A. huts. On July 4th one hundred and fifty girls provided lunch for 600 men from the Reserve Officers Training Corps at a picnic at Allendale, Gull Lake. After the signing of the Armistice colored troops arrived at Camp Custer in larger numbers than had ever been there before. Upon the recommendation of the local Board, headquarters authorized a budget for colored work in Kalamazoo on April 24th, 1919. It was planned to establish a club for colored men, but to throw it open to civilians as well as to soldiers, allowing the civilians to pay for service rendered. The difficulty of securing club quarters, as well as many other handicaps, delayed the actual inauguration of colored work. But on the night of July 3rd, the colored quarters were opened at 228 North Burdick street with an interesting program, attended by about four hundred people. From then until the withdrawal of War Camp Community Service, the Colored Club has been the focal point for most of the colored activities of Kalamazoo. A worker to have charge of colored activities arrived September 5th, 1919, and set out to organize the colored people for the most full use of the property. Hostesses were organized, men, girls and boys were brought together in community work, boy scouts and girl scouts were organized, and existing societies were invited and encouraged to use our quarters to the utmost. While the excuse for opening the Colored Club has been the military necessity, and many events of a military nature have taken place at the club, it may well be said that the work has been so decidedly of a community nature that Kalamazoo is wise in seeing the advantages of the work as a community enterprise and is making provision for its permanency. The consensus of opinion of citizens who have had the opportunity to observe this work for negroes is that it is the best piece of social work done in the city for a number of years. War Camp Community Service has made itself felt in Kalamazoo in many community ways throughout the war and demobilization periods. Monthly community sings have been held at the armory, attracting a crowded house each time. Song leaders have been provided on many other iccasions. Song sheets and books by the thousand have been distributed among local organizations doing community singing, and song slides have also been made available when a lantern was to be used. An exhibit of its activities was shown in connection with the Municipal Exhibit, April 7-12, 1919. Stenographic help was mobilized to aid the Liberty Loan committees, and the girls' division assisted the Chamber of Commerce in making a survey of the foreign born of the city. Viewed in a purely selfish way, Kalamazoo has gained much because of the location of a War Camp Community Service station here. No effort has been made to list the various organizations who have assisted in expressing to service men the organized hospitality of Kalamazoo. To begin such a task would be easy; to end would be hard. It should suffice to say that scores of organizations, clubs, churches, lodges, boys' and girls' clubs have responded generously whenever opportunity was given. Without them the local service would have been sadly crippled. The Board conducting the local War Camp Community Service, as well as the paid workers, are well aware that the program of entertainment could not have functioned but for the loyal response of both individuals and organizations, and in writing this brief summary makes grateful acknowledgment to all who have assisted. To wake up one fine morning in September, 1917, and find ourselves with a camp of 30,000 men at our doors was a new enterprise. What to do with them when they flooded our city each week end could not be solved by turning to any time-worn formula. No reference could be made to other cities, for it was a new sensation everywhere. Without itself possessing an organization, without brick and mortar, without much money, War Camp Community Service was given a task not attractive from every angle. But it has proved itself enjoyable from start to finish, and the words of praise of thousands of men amply have repaid the local service for the time and effort they have expended in their work. If any measure of success has attended the work, the people of Kalamazoo deserve all the credit. STANLEY MORRIS. 260 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY NAVY LEAGUE OF T HE UNITED STATES 1. Mrs. Howard P.

On July 17, 1917, headquarters in the Burdick Arcade were attractively fitted up and kept open each afternoon from two to five o'clock. During the first three months several hundred garments were knitted and sent to the Comforts Committee in Washington. In September the shop was moved to the second floor of the Home Savings Bank Building, and was kept open daily from 10 to S for one year. It was then given space in the Annex of J. R. Jones & Co., store. Mrs. Edward Ames was chairman of the shop for the first year. She was succeeded by Mrs. Albert R. Thomas. Women generously gave of their time to tend shop, and, at first, to teach knitting. Mrs. Mary Burns kept the noon hour for nine months, and Miss Gertrude Cobb for five months. Mrs. Edward M. Kennedy acted as chairman of the work and supervised the packing of every shipment. 6,400 garments were sent to the Comforts Committee and 50 given out directly. 261 *x-x~I~' MEMO El- rM '.1 ",-- '00;i~ ~ N W 1.

The membership- was entirely voluntary, no solicitation for members being made. At the time of organization. there were thirty men members in the Navy League. We had 250 women associate members. The local section was fortunate in having the interest of Mr. Joseph Brown, who took the entire financial responsibility. Immediate and generous response was made to efforts to secure funds. The Golf Tournament, played by "Chick Evans" at the Country Club, netted $735.00. Other calls met with equally good success. After May, 1918, funds were received from the County War Fund. Total receipts were $6,637.00. Paid for wool, $6,203.00. Other expenses for membership dues, express and incidentals. The place for carrying on the work was given by the owners of the building in each instance. On April 12, 1919, our chairman and workers met for our final reports and disbanded, having served for twenty months. The officers may heartily say that the work was accomplished with great satisfaction. The following lines were written by Mrs. Jordan and embody the spirit of the Navy League: Empty your pockets of silver and gold, In the far north sea the winds blow cold, Where men fight battles for you and meYou give-They fight-We knit. Thus each of us will do our bit. ANNA B. MORRISONY. BELGIAN RELIEF Before America entered the war, the Belgian Relief Committee was organized in the United States. Governor Sleeper was Chairman of the Michigan Branch, Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane, a member of the State Committee, was made Chairman for Kalamazoo County. Mrs. Clare H. Stearns, Se cretary, and Walter L. Otis, Treasurer. A large local committee was appointed in the city of Kalamazoo and the smaller towns and villages of the county were also organized. $478.66 was raised by those committees, a part of which was forwarded to the National Association in New York. When official word was received that the Federal Government had made an adequate appropriation for the relief of the Belgians, the money remaining in the hands of the local treasurer was either returned to the donors or, with their permission, transferred to the fund for the Fatherless Children of France then being raised in the county. CAROLINE BARTLETT CRANE. 262 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY JEWISH WELFARE WORK The war activities of the Jews of Kalamazoo, briefly told, consisted of money contributions and personal service which began to manifest itself very early in 1915 and continued, without cessation, to almost present writing, and indications are, that war relief measures of co-religionists will claim their time and contributions for the remainder of 1919 andl far beyond. The first work entered into' was in 1915 in raising funds for the relief of destitute co-religionists living in those countries in Eastern Europe where prejudices and tyranny. had accomplished ruin. The sum of one thousand dollars was f 'orwarded to the American Jewish Relief Committee at New York as Kalamazoo's contribution in the work of alleviation. From this time, the Jewish people have never stood still, but continued to raise funds which were all sent to the American Jewish Relief Committee. In 1916, two thousand dollars was contribuated. In 1917, four thousand five hundred dollars, and in 1918, six thousand dollars. When our country entered into the great world conflict, and Camp Custer was opened, a committee under the auspices of the great philanthropic international organization, The Order of B'nai Brith, was formed to look after the social and spiritual needs of Jewish boys there. The Kalamazoo branch co-operated with co-religionists in Battle Creek, and at this latter place a spiritual leader was engaged, and later a club room was opened. Social affairs were given in both cities and the material needs of the boys were well cared for. When the work for Camp Custer was undertaken, the local committee raised about one thousand dollars and proceeded to Battle Creek where a similar amount was obtained to be expended in welfare work. In this undertaking, Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Lansing and Jackson shared. Later on, the organization was merged with the Jewish Welfare Board, whose headquarters are in New York, and which organization was recognized by our government in War Camp Activities in this country and across seas. A building was erected by the welfare board and services were conducted each Sabbath and holiday. The officers in the American Jewish Relief Work in Kalamazoo are: President ---------------------------------------- Selig Stern. Secretary and Treasurer ----------------------Samuel Folz.

So many and so varied were these organizations, so essential was each to the successful carrying out of the nation's war program and so urgent was the need of ample funds for each, that Kalamazoo, in common with other communities, found a new 'dollar" campaign following close uip-on the heels of the one that had just been com-pleted. No sooner was one task finished than another presented itself. It was not uncommon, even, for one camapaign to over-lap the time that had been set apart for another. No one organization was receiving whole-hearted support. The situation becamie difficult alike for solicitors and solicited. For a discussion of the situation, committees were appointed from the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club and the Kiwanis Club. These committees met in joint conference late in November of 1917, and as a result, Harry Freeman, then secretary of the Chanmber of Commerce, went to Kenosha, Wisconsin, where he made a thorough study of the War Chest plan which was in successful operation there. He reported back at a joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and the two clubs, and upon his recommendations, the Kalamazoo County Patriotic League was organized. It had for its purpose the financing, from a general fund, of all recognized and approved warrelief agencies. The general fund was to be provided by a single far-reaching campaign, which would extend, not to a relatively small proportion of the people, but to every man and woman in Kalamazoo city and county who had an earning capacity or an income. A schedule of -assessments was made up. The individual with an annual income of $100,000 was expected to pay into the war chest a minimum of $4,752.20. An income of $50,000, annually called for a war chest contribution of at least $1,927.20. The $10,000 income was assessed at $162.20; the $5,000, income at $52.20. Other rates of income were taxed on a similar basis, and in each instance an effort was made to keep the assessment in proportion with the income. Men and women working on an hourly wage scale were asked to contribute a sum equal to one hour's pay per month, and employers were asked to contribute a sum equal to the total of that given by their employees. "One hundred per cent patriotism for Kalamazoo and county" was the slogan of the league. The plan appeared to solve every problem. Not only did it divide the giving among those of the community as a~whole, thus affording each individual an opportunity to do his share, but it carried to the contributor an assurance that once a subscription had been made to the general war chest fund, the giving to war relief agencies was taken care of for a full year. Carrying the assessment plan still further, the city of Kalamazoo was charged with the responsibiity of providing three-fifths of the total fund. The remainin' w-itsws ob asdb the county outside of the city, and this amount was divided proportionately among the various 265 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY TRUSTEES PATRIOTIC LEAGUE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

The participating organizations were: The American Red Cross, The Navy League, The Fatherless Children of France, The Armenian Relief Fund, The American Jewish Relief Fund, The Knights of Columbus, Young Women's Christian Association, The Salvation Army, War Camp Community Service, Young Men's Christian Association. Later when provisions were made for the Michigan Patriotic Fund, The Kalamazoo County Patriotic League contributed to this undertaking in the sum of $28,500.00, although the State Fund had not been created when the League was organized. Each participating organization was invited to place before the board a requisition for its requirements, and these requisitions were passed upon and allowed in proportion to the importance of the agency in question, and the amount of money in the general fund. The campaign for funds did not start until early in January, 1918. The undertaking was launched with two great patriotic mass meetings, held in the State Armory. The first of these was held Saturday night, January 5th, and was addressed by Clarence S. Darrow, eminent counsellor at law, of Chicago. The second meeting, held the following Sunday afternoon, was addressed by the late Captain R. Hugh Knyvett, Anzac scout, and intelligence officer of the Fifteenth Australian Infantry, who gave America its first graphic picture of modern warfare in his widely read book "Over There with the Australians." The great auditorium of the Armory building was filled to its capacity for both of these meetings, and thousands of people were unable to get inside the building at each gathering. The League was able to meet its obligations to the various war relief agencies from time to time, without difficulty, and with the coming of spring it was decided to place the direction of the League's activities in the hands of a paid Executive Secretary, the Hon. Charles A. Wiedenfeller, who put his whole self into this war work, and remained steadfastly at his post until the war terminated. Under his able direction there had been pledged to the war chest fund, at the time of the signing of the Armistice, a total of $222,870.92, of which $162,183.94 had been paid in. Of this amount there had been appropriated by the board of trustees, a total of $151,500.00 and a sum of $6,222.36 had been expended on general expenses. While the amount of uncollected pledges appears large, it must be remembered that provisions had been made for the distribution of payments ov-.r the entire year, and that the war ended ten months after the inception of the war chest fund. A survey of the League's records shows that during the ten months of its active existence there were made a total of 13,538 pledges. Of this number six thousand four hundred and nineteen were made by persons having incomes in excess of $1,500.00 annually. Six thousand nine hundred and seventy-three were made by employees in factories, and the remaining one hundred and forty-six were pledges made by employers in keeping with the request that the subscriptions of all employees be duplicated. The personal pledges amounted to $135,445.88 and a total of $26,446.34 was pledged by the employed men and women of the city and county. Employers' pledges amounted to $46,978.70. That the League served its full purpose is evidenced by the fact that the requirements of all recognized war relief agencies were met in full by Kalamazoo, city and county, and there remained a substantial amount in the treasury when the war was successfully terminated.

The enthusiastic leadership of our Board and Committee Chairmen was made effective by the heartiest assistance of the entire Chapter. A brief summary of some of our activities in helping with the Great War follows: The total number of articles contributed by Chapter members was 5,294, including knitted garments, kid lined vests, complete comfort kits, scrap books for hospitals, comfort bags, comfort pillows, property bags, housewives, Bibles and New Testaments, books, Victrola records, hospital garments, and surgical supplies. In addition to these there were hundreds of pounds of candy, glasses of jelly, cakes, cookies, oranges and apples, gift baskets, boxes and packets, and dozens of flowers which brought cheer to lonely boys in hospitals at the holiday season. There were 250,000 gun wipes made or solicited and distributed. Besides the $103,750.00 invested by individual Daughters of our Chapter, in Liberty Loan Bonds, and War Savings Stamps, and the $37,000.00 worth of Liberty Bonds sold by Chapter members, $10,122.91 was contributed to various kinds of war work. The Chapter gave co-operation to many war causes and organizations, including our Hospitality Room, the Red Cross, the Young Men's Christian Association, the Young Women's Christian Association, National Service School, Home Relief, American Library Association, Salvation Army, Church War Commission, Jewish Relief, War Camp Community Service, Knights of Columbus, Mess Fund, American Committee for Devastated France, American Fund for French Wounded, French Orphans, Restoration of French Village of Tilloloy, and French, Belgian, Armenian, Polish and Serbian Relief. In appreciation of their fine work in drilling and participation in war movements, the Regent presented the High School Cadets with a large silk flag. Our Chapter joined with the other Chapters of Michigan in adopting the destroyer, John Paul Jones, and supplying the crew with knitted garments for the entire period of the war. We were 100 per cent in the "dollar per member" expected of us for the $100,000.00 Liberty Loan Bonds, taken out by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, and were also 100 per cent in Red Cross membership,-every member of our Chapter being a member of Red Cross. In addition to our dues and contributions, large sums of money were raised by the Ways and Means Committee of the Chapter through the salvaging of tin, lead and aluminum foil, newspapers and magazines, food sales, a light opera, war lectures, and rummage sales were also held. This did much to bring us together as a Chapter, and added materially to our funds. 269 HONOR ROLL OP KALAMAZOO COUNTY The members of the Chapter have been remarkable for their leadership and their co-operation in all movements for the pushing of the war through to a victorious peace, and in sharing and assisting in all the patriotic activities of the community. One Chapter member, Miss Edith Haskell, gave personal service in France, in physical reconstruction work, and six other Daughters volunteered and trained for service, but were not called for overseas duty, before the signing of the Armistice. The Daughters took part in all the various War Work Drives. Two hundred and sixty addresses were made in the interests of the various campaigns, and the members assisted actively in the raising of money and the spreading of knowledge and interest. Chapter members have held the following positions of trust and responsibility: State Chairman of Women's Division Council of National Defense, Chairman and Secretary of Food Drive. In the Red Cross, Executive Secretary of the County Chapter, five members on the Board, thirty-one super-visors of Surgical Dressings, eight supervisors in the Knitting Bureau, Chairman, and seven members on the Home Service Committee, Cap~tain, and four members in the Motor Corps, fifteen members of Canteen Committee, one member conducted classes in First Aid, Medical Aid given by physician member to several mothers and children, service in Debarkation Hospital, two Directors of Junior Red Cross, twenty-six members of the Chapter served in War and Welfare Army, represented by Regent on Camp Community Service Board, Chairman of French Orphans, Chairman of Armenian Relief, Chairman of War Work Council Young Women's Christian Association, a Secretary of the Navy League, Secretaries of the Young Women's Christian Association, and Secretary of Comforts Forwarding Committee. The Children and Sons and Daughters of the Republic Clubs, the Citizenship Clubs for boys and girls, founded and fostered by the Chapter, gave much of their time to war work,-knitting, making gun wipes, baby outfits, trench candles and doing various Red Cross work. The number of members of Children and Sons of the Republic Clubs, in the active service of their country was 32, one of whom was cited for bravery in battle. Number of Daughters who were War Mothers, 16; number of War Wives, 9; number of near relatives in service, 26, two of whom made the supreme sacrifice. In recognition of her fine work, the Chapter Historian and Chairman of War Records was appointed by Governor Sleeper as County Director of Soldier and Sailors' Records. Much was done by the Chapter in many lines of civic co-operation and war relief work, but our Chapter life centered around our War Hospitality. Early in November, 1917, we opened a down-town Hospitality Room, opposite the Postoffice, which soon justified its existence. Of a morning, for several months, it was put at the disposal of the Committee on Civilian Relief of the Red Cross, and the next year it was donated for six weeks to the Christmas Packet Committee of the Red Cross. One winter the room was open two evenings a week at the request of a group of men of foreign birth, who wished to learn English and become citizens. It was also used for our frequent Chapter meetings, our War Relief work, and our Children, Sons and Daughters of the Republic Clubs. Our great opportunity for service came because of our proximity to Camp Custer. Through the Social Committee and the Hospitality Committee, the Society expressed its spirit of friendliness and good cheer. 270 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY To keep up the courage of women in families that had sent men into service was our great purpose and was accomplished by informal receptions, thimble parties, and other gathering's of which a prominent feature was the so-called "Round-Table," when letters from soldier and sailor sons, often very humorous, were read and enjoyed by all. Refreshments served by the committee at every meeting, afforded a splendid opportunity for friendly chats, and many lasting friendships were formed over the tea-cups in our sunny little Hospitality Room. We feel confident that some of the good cheer found its way in letters overseas. Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays, when the enlisted men from Camp Custer were more often at liberty, our room served them as a club-room; later it was open to the Students Army Training Corps, from Kalamazoo College and the Normal School, and to any soldier, sailor or marine who chanced to be in town. About 1,800 men registered, some of whom we came to know very well at Sunday dinners in our homes, following acquaintance begun in the Hospitality Room. The number of men who were entertained for meals and week ends were 1,338, and 751 men were our guests in clubs and hotels. The room did not aim to take the place of the Young Men's Christian Association, or any other institution of men. It had a place and meaning of its own. It was not the victrola, the piano, the fruit, the candy, the home-made layer cakes on holidays, the easy chairs, the old mahogany, the books, magazines, or newspapers, which made the room what it was, although each had its part. It was the duty of the Chairman of the Hospitality Room to provide two hostesses for each half day when the men were in Kalamazoo. It was their privilege to bring a spirit of friendliness and good fellowship, and to make the place a home,-sometimes to sew on a button or a shoulder strap, to find a helmet for a boy who came in with frosted ears, to play an accompaniment when he sang, to give a bit of information or to listen when he wished to talk. To some soldiers, our club room was a place to leave an overcoat, to freshen before a dinner engagement, or where he might read a newspaper, or write a letter, but to others it had a deeper meaning. It was a place to rest when one was tired; where one had broth, medicine and care when one was ill; or where lie found cheer and understanding when he was blue, for happy soldiers are the best soldiers. Men from California, Georgia, Louisiana; Wyoming, South Africa, Norway, Scotland, and many nearer places, some of whom had had no home or mother for five, twelve or even seventeen years, have testified what the room has meant to them. We tried to show our appreciation of their sacrifice, to give them some joy to "carry on," and to make sure that in the great battles which they fought over there, there would be home, in their thoughts, as well as country. We had splendid leadership in our Regent, Mrs. William A. Stone, ably supported by the Chapter Board, the Committee Chairmen, and by the entire membership of the Lucinda Hinsdale Stone Chapter.

SALVATION ARMY The local Salvation Army Corps co-operated with the National Organization of the Salvation Army in its extensive war time program of service. Soldiers returning from France have nothing but praise for the work of the men and women comprising the personnel of the Salvation Army over seas. Huts were maintained in many camps in this county, but it was overseas that the Salvation Army filled a unique place during the years of the war. The local corps did a great.deal in the way of assisting the returned soldier who needed advice in securing compensation or insurance adjustments, also in many cases financial help was given soldiers' families. Three thousand dollars was received by the local corps from the Kalamazoo County Patriotic League, which amount was forwarded to the National Salvation Army War Fund. The Salvation Army drive for funds was conducted by the local Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and the quota of $7,000 alloted to Kalamazoo County raised. 271 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY WAR MOTHERS OF AMERICA When the war clouds of Europe darkened our peaceful horizon, when the thunder of the cannon that mowed down the heroes of the battle-field, resounded upon our shores, then it was that the heart of American motherhood responded to the agonizing call for help. The American mother gave her sons with the undaunted courage of a Spartan mother. The desire to give herself, found expression in the birth of the organization of War Mothers. Organizations were formed in nearly every state of the Union, some of them as early as 1917, and were closely associated with the Red Cross, Council of Defense, and all other bodies of Government workers, in the great task of defending the oppressed. The Kalamazoo County Chapter War Mothers of America was organized August, 1918. The convention to perfect a National Organization, was called at Evansville, Ind., September 18, 1918, and more than 1,000 women were in attendance. Evansville was chosen as the place of the first great convention, because of the hallowed memories that would ever cluster about this city, for here had lived the lad, James Bethel Gresham, who was the first American to lay down his life in the great battle for right, "over there." The women of Evansville, inspired by the wonderful courage of the mother, Mrs. Alice Gresham Dodd, had banded together to honor this boy and his mother and to serve others who might need them. So successful were they in their own state, that they determined to invite all mothers of America into their organization; hence the call for a National Convention. The first National Convention War Mothers of America was a most impressive one, represented by delegates from twenty-one States, and presided over by Mrs. A. J. Shulz, who had been leader of the Evansville organization. The object of the War Mothers: To do all in their power to help the mothers of America in the awful future just upon them, when only superhuman courage could make life worth the living for those whose loved ones would come no more; to extend loving sympathy to all who needed help and cheer; to aid the Sammies in every possible way, that on their return, the mother might look her boy in the eye, and say, "Lad, I, too, did my bit to make the world a fit place for you to live in." The first official act of the convention was the sending of a message to our president, Woodrow Wilson, one to General Pershing, and one to our boys "over there," pledging loyalty and support. The message: "Millions of War Mothers of America represented in National Convention in Evansville, stand loyally behind you in your determination to make no peace until Germany and her allies surrender unconditionally." To this message the President and General Pershing replied as follows: To the War Mothers of America: The heart of the whole Nation goes out in pride and deep sympathy-sympathy because of the supreme sacrifice they have made; in pride because of the superb courage with which those sacrifices have been accepted. Their sons are making America loved and honored wherever men love freedom and respect justice. Their heroism and their sacrifices will make the whole world a happy and safer home for the wives and mothers and brave men in the days to come. Future generations will rise up and call these men blessed. Please accept my personal homage of respect and gratitude. (Signed) WOODROW WILSON. "The splendid example of patience and bravery which American mothers have set for their sons is a tremendous inspiration to the American Expeditionary Forces. In the name of these troops I thank you for a message which assured us of this courageous spirit. (Signed) PERSHING." The message from "the boys" came November 11, 1918. On August 24, 1918, a few of Kalamazoo's patriotic women, at the suggestion of Mrs. Elizabeth W. Stone, met with Mrs. Orton H. Clark, to formulate some plan whereby the women of the county might band themselves together to give sympathy and condolence to the mothers in sorrow and to aid the soldiers and sailors in every way possible. A preliminary meeting was held in Masonic Temple, August 30, 1918, at which time an organization to be known as the "Kalamazoo County Chapter War Mothers of America" was perfected. Mrs. Mary B. Westnedge, mother of Colonel Joseph B. Westnedge, was elected President. The first regular meeting of the organization was held in the Chamber of Commerce, September 6, 1918, with about 300 mothers present. Mrs. Mary B. Westnedge, who had beeni chosen President at the previous meeting, resigned from the office, and Mrs. Frederick M. Hodge, elected President. By acclamation, Mrs. Westnedge was then made Honorary President. 272 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY OFFICERS AND COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN KALAMAZOO CHAPTER WAR MOTHERS OF AMERICA 1. Mrs. A. J. Mills 2.

Shaw. Mrs. W. L. Brownell, Chairman of the Program Committee, furnished the programs for the year, and how interesting they were, was shown by the large audiences, oftentimes filling the Chamber of Commerce room to its utmost capacity. That the interest of the meetings never lagged was. due to her untiring efforts. Always some mother's boy had returned, to tell of his interesting experiences; his awful trench life, his exciting air raids, his motor truck driving through shot and shell; his praise of Red Cross work, that all mothers with tear stained faces, at times, listened to, and that inspired a silent prayer for the other mothers, sons "somewhere in France." They were lieutenants,. colonels, privates, captains, all heroes, and all mothers loved to hear them talk. Then, too, there were the letters read by proud and happy mothers of boys who were doing their duty without complaint, letters of hope tha.t gave strength to the lonely one, letters that told of comrades lying in Flanders Field; all had a fascination that will long be remembered, for they are now unique ih history. "A Dead March in Saul!" "A Hallalujab Chorus! The memorial. service conducte -d by the Rev. B. F. Ivins, himself engaged in war work, was most impressive. He told of the great work of the soldiers "over there," and of the equally great service of soldiers and sailors over here. In quiet charm he spoke of the heroic service of "Colonel Joe," and in most pathetic words, of his bravery on the battle field and his untimely death. Many were the words of sympathy sent to the sorrowing, but none more heartfelt thai- those that went to the wife and mother of "Colonel Joe." A memorial flag of gold stars on a white background, purchased by the War Mothers, was used for the first time at this memorial service. The grlad day of the year for the War Mohthers was "Welcome Honme Day," vwhe,-n 0the city, of HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY FOOD ADMINISTRATION FOOD ADMINISTRATORS The United States Food Administration, created by Act ofMm Congress, August 10th, 1917, to provide for the national security and defense by encouraging the production, conserving the supply and controlling the distribution of food products, was chiefly a volunteer organization brought into being at a time of great national stress to assist in solving one of the greatest 01P problems presented by the world crisis, through which we were at that time passing. /... The hopes of the Food Administration were threefold. First, to so guide the trade in the fundamental food commodities as to eliminate vicious speculation, extortion, and wasteful.practices, and to stabilize prices in the essential staples; second, to guard our export so that against the world's shortage we retain sufficient supplies for our own people and to co-operate with the Allies to prevent inflation of prices; third, that we stimulate in every manner within our power the production and saving of food in order that we may increase exports to our Allies to a point which would enable them to properly provision their armies and to feed their peoples during the winter. It is evident therefore that the Food Administration was called into being to stabilize and not to disturb condition. It was devised primarily to function effectively in correcting abnormalities and abuses that had crept into trade by reason of the world disturbance and to restore business, as far as within the realm of possibility, to a reasonable basis. As the Food Administration work gradually developed, unexpected situations requiring new duties presented themselves, and it would be practically impossible to catalogue herein, all the activities in which the Kalamazoo County Food Administrator and his corps of deputies were called upon to participate. Suffice it to say, the question of conservation relied largely upon loyalty to the work, and to show the people of our city and county, that saving was essentially necessary to win the war. Through the pledge card campaign, registration for sugar cards in the city and county, fair allotments of sugar for canning, pickling, jellies, preserves, etc., etc., publicity advertising and other methods, it was convincingly apparent at an early stage of the work, that not only was the food supply throughout our country conserved but that substitution was the patriotic program of the day, in order that surplus of exportable products were increased. The Home Demonstration Agent, Miss Blanche Clark, worked with the County Food Administrator during August and September and helped to show the method of canning and the 5 making of jellies, using small amounts of sugar. ContinuousVf5 demonstrations on the making of jelly, using syrups as substitute for sugar, plus very small amount of sugar, were given at the Food Administration office on two afternoons a week during the jelly season, with the result that a great deal of sugar was 1.

McCarthy 4. Frank T. Ehrman KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS At the time of America's entry into the World War, Kalamazoo Council Knights of Columbus had a membership of two hundred and thirty. Of this number fifty-one members answered the call to the colors, and served in the army and navy both in this country and abroad. The first patriotic act of the Council, after the outbreak of the War, was to present the full regimental colors to the 126th Infantry, commanded by the late Colonel Joseph B. Westnedge. These colors accompanied the regiment abroad, and were several times decorated for the bravery of Colonel "Joe's" men in action. During the war the Council took part in all local and national patriotic drives and demonstrations, and also kept closely in touch with the soldiers at Camp Custer, furnishing many comforts and entertainments for them. The lecturer of the Council and his assistants arranged for concerts at the camp' each week, and individual members, at the request of special committees appointed by the Council, invited soldiers to their homes on Sundays and holidays, and whenever great numbers of them came to Kalamazoo. The Council rooms were kept open at all times for the convenience of service men, and a number of special parties were given in their honor. A committee was also appointed to urge members to write letters to Kalamazoo service men in the various camps. To the officers of the Council and members of these special committees great credit is due for their untiring.efforts in behalf of the soldiers and sailors of the Great War. One of the pleasant incidents of the war was the visit of the local G. A. R. veterans to Camp Custer, under the auspices of the Knights.of Columbus, where they were entertained at the K. of C. Headquarters, and made to feel that the present day soldiers greatly appreciated the valuable services of the men of '61. PATRICK J.

Stanley Gilmore 3. Mrs. John B. Doyle 6. Mrs. A. W. De Roucher The American Fund for French Wounded, one of the hig relief committees in the city during the war period, was formed as a definite chapter here in May, 1917. Though for some months previous to America's entering the war, the organization had done considerable work in Kalamazoo through the Chicago and New York chapters. This society was first formed in London (1914) by- Mrs. Benjamin Lathrop of New York City and a group of American women, the ohject being to secure a fund to do relief work among the French people and the Allied countries. It was called the American Fund for French Wounded, as all the supplies and materials were to he procured in America through the efforts of women appointed by the committee. 'Such splendid work was accomplished by it, that the French. government recognized and approved of the society and extended an invita~tion to the members to move their depot from London to Paris. This the committee did, and a large depot was established at Alcazar de' Ete, Champs-Elysees with Mrs. Benjamin Lathrop as president, Dr. Alexis Carrell, vice-president, Herbert M. Nichols, secretary, and Miss Anna Vail, treasurer. Chapters were formed in this country in New York City, Boston and Chicago in 1915. A branch was started in Kalamazoo in the spring of 1917 when Mrs. Rush McNair invited to,her home a group of neighbors and friends whom she had interested in forming a chapter for aiding the wounded and refugees of stricken France and Belgium. The following women were elected as officers to the local Guild: MN'rs. Rush McNair, chairman, Mrs. John B. Doyle, vice-chairman, Mrs. Elizabeth Cleenewerk, secretary, and Mrs. J. Stanley Gilmore, treasurer. Much credit for the success 277 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY of the work done here is due to Mrs. McNair who during 1915 worked alone for the New York chapter and in 1916 for the Chicago chapter, sending to them large quantities of garments and also a substantial sum of money. When the committee began active work here, she turned her home into a workroom for it and also a depot for the shipment of the articles, taking complete charge of planning and sending of the consignments from the city. The first year the guild had about $350 to work with, $166 of which was voluntarily donated by different people in the city and the rest of the money was contributed by Mrs. McNair. J. R. Jones' store and Gilmore Brothers' donated 60 yards of gauze, and a hundred pounds of cotton was given to the committee by different persons. The committee sent to France that year: 50 pounds of cotton in rolls; 50 surgical dressings; 200 comfort bags; 1,500. children's garments; 100 dressings; 75 American flags; hundreds of yards of mosquito netting; 100 fly swatters; 100 gauze bandages and 125 knitted woolen garments. During the following year (1918) a tremendous amount of work was accomplished. Early in the fall a big pavement fete was held on West Walnut street. Mrs. B. M. Jones was hostess for the occasion and was assisted by the entire committee. Nearly $1,000 was realized from the affair and the bags made and sold by the committee brought in $175 and $180 was donated. This made possible the buying of large quantities of materials to be made into garments and the sending of small sums directly to France to be used in various special reliefs. The committee shipped overseas: Two thousand children's garments; 1,800 hospital comforts including woolen blankets, towels, sheets, comfortables, bed-side bags, socks, pajamas, afghans; 200 yards of gauze; 85 pounds of cotton; 125 handkerchiefs; and knitted garments consisting of 100 pairs of socks, 60 scarfs, 85 sweaters, 18 pairs of children's hose, 65 hoods and 20 pairs of mittens. Seventy-five Martha Washington bags were sent, each having ten articles of women's clothing in them and 35 George Washington bags with ten articles of men's clothing; 125 layettes for little French orphaned babies were made, each layette consisting of 25 garments, 20 cases of refugee's clothing were also shipped to Northern France. 300 comfort bags were sent to the soldiers in the hospitals. The bags were each supplied with a towel, a game,.stationery, postal cards and pencil. About two hundred dollars was sent to furnish a room in the American Memorial Hospital under construction at Rheims and the names of the Kalamazoo committee were inscribed on the hospital tablet. Every quota asked for by the Paris committee was filled and in a number of instances more than the original amount asked was forwarded. The committee was ably assisted in its work by a number of women's clubs and societies in the city and surrounding towns who sent in gifts of money and numerous articles. The Jefferson Avenue Sewing Club, the Portage Street Baptist Society, the Lake View Club, the Kindergarten Club, the Y. W. C. A. and the Young People's Guild of St. Luke's church contributed a generous supply of garments. The Climax branch, with Mrs. Frank Willison as chairman and a membership of forty women from Climax, Scotts, and Fulton, made several complete layettes, a hundred children's garments, a number of soldiers' supplies and comfort bags. At Berlamont, Mrs. A. W. DeRoucher organized a group of women and assisted by Mrs. J. Baxter of Bloomingdale, and a club of women from there contributed 75 comfort bags, a large consignment of children's clothes; 300 knitted articles and a number of men's pajamas. The Junior Red Cross from the former place also sent in $25.00. Mrs. Martha Crisp, of Plainwell, formed a branch which made a large quota of children's garments and bedding. From Richland, a generous supply of knitted socks were sent by Mrs. Ruth Easton and her committee. The children in the Mattawan high school made $100 in.picking grapes which they used to buy materials from which the girls made 100 garments for French boys and girls to be sent them through the local committee. A number of garments for children were also sent in from Galesburg by Mrs. E. J. Hobbs and her corps of workers. 278 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY Mrs. Frank Coller and Mrs. C. H. McKain, of Vicksburg, and a committee of women formed by them made large quantities of clothing for children. The Red Cross at Schoolcraft contributed a number of knitted articles and afghans. The branch at Oshtemo sent in numerous stretcher pillows and many children's knitted and woolen clothing. The active work of the local committee and branches was concluded in the latter part of March, 1919, but since that time sums of money and a number of articles of clothing have been forwarded to the French depot. REPORT OF WAR WORK DONE BY LADIES' LIBRARY ASSOCIATION The Ladies' Library Association, the oldest women's club in Michigan and the second oldest in the United'States, proved itself a loyal and patriotic organization during the period of the war. This -club is composed of one hundred and fifty members, women who at the same time were doing war work in many other societies. Nevertheless the entire membership united in true American spirit to aid in the great cause. The work was carried on under the leadership of Mrs. Alfred J. Mills, president of the club, and -IVrs. Charles H. Farrell, chairman of the War Service Committee, and funds for the same were pro-vided by lectures, plays, food sales and various other methods. The club is today the proud possessor of a five hundred dollar Liberty Bond and one for two hundred dollars, subscribed for during the first and second Liberty Loans. The work of the Library -Club had various phases. When the 126th Infantry, composed mainly of Kalamazoo men was at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas, the club sent to them one thousand home-made cookies and one hundred seventy-five glasses of jelly for their Thanksgiving dinner. Yarn was purchased and over one hundred garments were made, incuding sweaters, scarfs, wristlets, trench caps and socks, most of which were sent to the Kalamazoo men at Waco, just before they left for overseas. The remaining garments were sent to Camp Custer and to the United States Naval Training Station at Norfolk, Va. Several thousand of gun wipes were also sent to Camp Custer. The club co-operated at all times with the Red Cross and the Navy League, and many garments were knitted for both organizations. Contributions of money were made to various deserving funds, including twenty-seven dollars to the Y. M. C. A. War Fund, twenty dollars to the War Library Fund; ten dollars toward a Liberty Bond for the State Federation of Women's Clubs; fifty dollars toward the Victory Fund. The club early became a member of the Woman's Committee, Council of National Defense, and in every way possible co-operated with that organization. Material was purchased and thirty garments made for little French girls, and sent to them through the society of the Fund for French Wounded. A contribution of money was also made toward the support of a French war orphan, through the society of the Fatherless Children of France. The Rest Room for soldiers and sailors at Augusta being in need of help, a lecture was given under the auspices of the club and the proceeds, two hundred and twenty-three dollars, was turned over to that worthy cause. The Ladies' Library Association was willing and glad to do whatever it could to aid in the defense of liberty, and proud that every member proved herself a true American Patriot. MRS. CHARLES H. FARRELL, Chairman War Service Committee. 279 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION In April, 1919, The Young Men's Christian Association had in Europe 5,693 men and 2,657 women, making a total of 8,350 welfare workers. The selection of the workers who were sent to. the American Expeditionary Force was made from 40,000 recommendations from local City Committees which had considered at least 150,000 volunteers. Of this number 11,229 were finally accepted and sent to Europe where they served for varying periods. General Pershing requested (practically ordered) the Y. M. C. A. in France to undertake the management of the Army Canteens, on August 20, 1917. This would release to the fighting forces about 25,000 men. In.America the Canteen is run by the men of each regiment or other unit. The Y. M. C. A. undertook the job. Canteen luxuries could not be obtained in France and ships for import were needed for Army Transports. The Y. M. C. A. with the aid of France reopened French factories. The Y. M. C. A. supplied the raw materials, supervised the factories and took the entire product for the A. E. F. The 44 factories produced at maximum output, per month, 10,160,000 packages biscuits, 7,400,000 tablets drinking-chocolate, 12,900,000 bars assorted candies, 2,000,000 tins jam. Of course the price of these dainties produced in war-stricken France was often higher than candies offered by the Army Quartermaster. The "Y" ran a paper mill in Tolosa, Spain, to make a hundred million sheets of writing paper with necessary envelopes. Other French mills produced twice that amount while a hundred million sheets were shipped from New York, all of which with sixteen million postcards were used free by the A. E. F. The "Y" operated many French hotels in various cities at reduced rates. In London, England, there were five such "Y" hotels. On March 1, 1919, the Y. M. C. A. had in operation in France 1.965 buildings-587 the Y. M. C. A. had erected, 596 it had leased, 782 army buildings and centers in tents. "Because of an understanding between the Y. M. C.

Neary After Camp Custer opened, our association was constantly called upon for help, as we were the largest Y. M. C. A. near the Camp. It was our privilege to care for the boys on leave in this city. It was not unusual to give beds, baths, advice and entertainment to as many as three hundred individuals on a single night, and at such times our Gymnasium, Boys' room, Lobby, Auditorium and Offices were filled with beds to accommodate the soldiers. During the life of Camp Custer twentyfive thousand four hundred and twenty-one beds were furnished, many of them free. The Military Police were billited with us nearly all the time they were in our city. The S. A. T. C. of the Normal were housed in our building until their own barracks was ready for occupancy. A large part of the entertainment in the "Y" huts at Custer was furnished by our association. The famous orchestra conducted by Mrs. James H. Johnson gave fifty-seven individual concerts for the boys. Our local organization was the clearing house for five hundred and sixty-two entertainment parties going from Kalamazoo to Camp Custer. Four hundred and twenty-one of these were given free transportation, by generous, patriotic friends who loaned their cars from one to five nights a week that these parties might get to the various "Y" huts in the easiest and quickest manner. Thus our association furnished the boys many evenings of pleasant diversion. Secretaries were sent to the starting points of fifteen troop trains and served and helped the men all the way to Camp. 281 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY jy.

The Club holds an enviable record in as much as it carried out its scheduled program and, in addition, did a vast amount of war work.

Each member saw her duty and performedit without question with the result that the Club never found it necessary to refuse one single request made upon it even though at times it seemed almost beyond human efforts to accomplish what was required. During the period of war activities, the Club earned over one thousand dollars. This it did by giving card parties, holding.rummage sales, and staging theatricals. The money earned was spent entirely for war purposes, some of which are as follows: The maintenance of three French orphans, with Christmas gifts of ten dollars to each; one hundred dollars was given to the War Victory Commission; a donation was given to the Library Fund for Soldiers; financial aid was given to the Red Cross and Navy League, and three Liberty Bonds were purchased; over three hundred dollars was spent for yarn which the members knit into sweaters, helmets, wristlets and socks. These were sent to the boys in camp and across the seas. Several sweaters and pairs of socks were also turned over to the Navy League for distribution; several dollars were used to purchase toweling which the members cut, hemmed and laundered, and turned over to the Cooks' and Bakers' School at Camp Custer; large donations were given the Soldier Boys' Fund of the Community Church of Augusta and the Y. W. C. A. War Fund; one hundred dollars was given for the Furlough Houses in France. The club members, aside from devoting one day a week at the Red Cross Shopi made many children's garments which they turned over to the Red Cross; cloth was purchased and made into property bags for the boys at camp; gum and chocolate were placed in one hundred twenty-five comfort kits and sent to "Colonel Joe" and his boys in France as a Christmas gift. Thus it is that the Twentieth Century Club willingly contributed its efforts in the great struggle for Democracy. MRs.

WAR WORK OF THE YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION In pursuance of the plans outlined by the National War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian Association, the Kalamazoo Y. WV. C. A. on October 1,7 1917, organized the girls of the city into Patriotic Leagues. Twelve hundred signed the pledges and three mass meetings were held, at one of which Miss Harriet Vittum.of Chicago was the speaker ýand nine hundred- girls were in attendance. A-bout this time the Rose Street House was renovated and opened up with the intention of using it as a Hostess House for relatives and friends of the soldiers at Camp Custer. For a time the transient's bed rooms were so used, but it soon became necessary to use the house for other purposes, namely for the meetings of the Patriotic Leagues and other clubs, as headquarters for the second Food Drive, and for the registration of women for war work. The house was also used as headquarters for the Finance Campaign in November, 1917, when $6,000 for the National War Work 284 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY and $4,000 for local War Work was subscribed. Mrs. Fred Chappell, Mrs. W. E. Upjohn and Mrs. H. M. Jordan were joint chairmen. An opening luncheon was held at the Park-American hotel, Mrs. F. H. Bowen, president, and Mrs. J. A. Pitkin presiding. At this luncheon pledges were taken amounting to $3,000. In this drive Mrs. W. L. Brownell acted as chairman of the county exclusive of city and $1,000 was raised. In order to aid the Government as much as possible in preparing women to take the places of men called to war, the Young Women's Christian Association organized a class in telegraphy, equipping a room with instruments for this purpose, and several good operators were the result. An Employment Bureau was opened in December, 1917, the salary and expenses of which were paid entirely by the Y. W. C. A., and many women and girls were placed in positions. During the winter and spring much Red Cross work was done in clubs and classes and both board women and secretaries did their share of public speaking for Liberty Bonds and other drives. The Young Women's Christian Association through its General Secretary, Miss Hester McGaughey, was instrumental in getting the first Police Woman installed in Kalamazoo, paying a part of her salary in order to secure as competent a woman as possible. In June, 1918, Community Sings were inaugurated by the Association and became very popular. These were held in Bronson Park and thousands attended. The same summer a pageant, "The Drawing of the Sword," was presented by the Patriotic League of the city under the direction of Miss Louisa Parks, the War Work Secretary. It was given on the Stockbridge lawn and crowds of people witnessed it. In September, 1918, an Educational and Publicity Campaign was entered into in connection with the second Y. W. C. A. War Drive. Mrs. Sylvo Reams was chairman of the district which comprised ten counties, and Mrs. S. R. Light was chairman of Kalamazoo County. The Y. W. C. A. of Kalamazoo as well as the National Y. W. C. A. proved itself ready to co-operate in all patriotic and philanthropic endeavors, and its War Work undertaken at the call of the Government, has been well and faithfully done. MRs. FRANK H. BOWEN. WAR SAVINGS STAMPS War Savings Stamps and Certificates were provided for in the Bond Act of September 24, 1917, and in the late fall of that year the War Savings Stamp struck Kalamazoo. It was the elder brother of the "Thrift Stamp" which was issued by the government as a savings proposition. Hon. Frank Vanderlip, a noted banker, was the chairman of both issues. Schools, churches, Boy Scouts, and many other organizations were induced to take up the work of distribution. The War Savings Stamp had a face value of $5.00 and a certificate was arranged to hold 20 such stamps. The Thrift Stamp had a 25 cent face value and a similar certificate was arranged to hold 20 Thrift Stamps. The War Savings Stamps were sold at $4.00 with accrued interest from January 1st, 1917. Mr. Charles Campbell was appointed General Chairman for Kalamazoo County, which position he held until May 10th, 1918, when he resigned in favor of Joseph D. Clement. Two committees were organized, one of women with Mrs. Charles Van Vranken as County Chairman, the other of men under direction of the General Chairman. These committees were continued until September 1st, 1918, having sold $350,000 of stamps. The work of disposing of the unsold portion of the quota -was placed with the War and Welfare organization. Dr. S. Rudolph Light was at the head of this society and appointed Charles Bard manager of this branch of the government work. The women's committee under the leadership of Mrs. Van Vranken did a fine work in the county outside Kalama-zoo, where they placed $50,000 worth and $100,000 worth in the city, $30,000 of which was the work *of a well organized drive by the Booth Committee. The schools under a very well developed plan sold in the neighborhood of $26,000 worth of:stamps. Among the educational campaigns none attracted more attention or accomplished more than the Junior speakers from the city schools. Space will not allow us to mention particularly any of the very successful speakers. But as a Patriotism Producer the War Savings movement was a success. The posters used in advertising the movement were many and works of art. While the movement was started among the children of the country it grew in favor with adults:and a $1000 War Savings Stamp Club was formed in this county with 63 members to whom certifi-,cates of membership as a badge of honor were issued. Definite figures as to the sale of stamps is impossible to obtain owing to the fact that they were sold in scores of places and by hundreds of persons, there being something like one hundred and six War Savings Stamp committees in the county. JOSEPH D. CLEMENT. 285 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY THE COMFORTS FORWARDING COMMITTEE The Comforts Forwarding Committee of Christian Scientists of Kalamazoo was an organization formed, as its name indicates, by Christian Scientists to provide clothing for the destitute people in the Allied countries, and knitted garments for the soldiers. It was one of the branches, established in almost every city of the United States of a central association of the same name located in Boston, under whose direction the work was carried on, and through which the articles were distributed abroad. This organization was itself affiliated with the War Relief and Camp Welfare work carried on in this country and abroad by Christian Scientists of the Allied countries, the Christian Science Church in Kalamazoo providing $17,744.50 for this purpose, beside the amount used by the Comforts Forwarding Committee. On June 18, 1918, the first meeting of the Committee was held, and the following officers elected: Chairman --....--- ---....... -....... ---....--- -.....Mrs. Essie M. Bowman. Vice-Chairman -........ --..............-....... Miss Cora W elsh. Chairman Auxiliary Committee-............ Miss Ruthmary Gates. Secretary....--..........---......._...... Mrs. Josephine Gmeiner.

Bowman. An empty store owned by the Geo. W. Taylor Co. was donated for a work room which was occupied until late in the summer when headquarters were removed to rooms in the Press building which were also furnished to the Committee without charge. On October 7, 1918, Mrs. Bowman resigned the position as Chairman, and Miss Welsh was elected to fill her place, which she continued to do until the dissolution of the organization on February 21, 1919, Miss Catherine Severens acting as Vice-Chairman during that time. For a year and a half the headquarters of the Committee, which had been supplied with sewing machines and cutting tables, were occupied all day and every day with busy workers. It would be impossible in so brief an article to present a detailed statement of the garments sent out by this Committee, but the following official figures will indicate the work that was accomplished. Women's garments; coats, dresses, underwear, etc..----..........---..........--....... 490 Men's garments; shirts, pajamas, nightshirts, etc..........-..............---.....-...-- 160 Children's garments; coats, dresses, slips, etc....---..-.. --...................1,694 Knitted goods; sweaters, socks, helmets, etc...............----------..----.........555 M iscellaneous; quilts, bags, etc...................-----------................... 406 Total............................................... 3,305 The Committee had practically no overhead expenses, and while the record shows that $854.25 was raised and spent by the organization, the statement is misleading, as most of the materials were donated, the supply equalling the demand, so that when the Committee dissolved on February 21, 1919, the $72.67 which was in the treasury was turned over to the War Relief and Camp Welfare Committee. MABEL S. BALCH. 286 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY DAUGHTERS OF VETERANS 1. Mrs. Myra Dunbar 2. Mrs. Millie Phillips 3. Mrs. Allie Scott 4. Mrs. Elizabeth Frick 5. Miss Anna Sonke The officers of the Daughters of Veterans for 1917, 18-19 are as follows: Mrs. Myra Dunbar, President. Board for 1917-18---------------------------------- Miss Elizabeth Prick, Secretary. Mrs. Allie B, Scott, Treasurer. Mrs. Louise E. Harker, Patriotic Instructor. Mrs. Allie B. Scott, President. Board for 1919.........................--------------Mrs. Ethel Houts, Secretary. jMrs. Millie Phillips, Treasurer. Miss Anna Sonke, Patriotic Instructor. When the call came for all women to co-operate in the various fields of labor, about seventy loyal women representing the Daughters of Veterans formed a "Star Service Club" to do war work. The meetings were held at the homes one day in each week for 6 or 8 hours-the members taking home all unfinished garments. A pot-luck lunch was furnished for which outside parties were charged fifteen cents, each member five cents, thereby creating an emergency fund with which materials were bought. Comfortables and quilts were made and sold to add to this fund. Trench caps, helmets and socks were knitted which were turned over to the Red Cross, of which we were a unit, some were given out personally, and others sent to Camp' Custer and Waco. We averaged about 150 hours per week in war work. Each month we sent towels, wash cloths, handkerchiefs, night-shirts, old linen, etc., to Base Hospital, Camp Custer, and magazines, housewives and tobacco to the V. M. C. A. The "Star Service Club" affiliated with the Mary B. Westnedge Auxiliary and made 600 sweaters for Col. "Joe's" men before they left Waco for overseas. Afternoon teas and card parties were given and personal contributions made to raise money for the purchase.- of the yarn. Thousands of gun wipes were made and the Tent bought two Liberty Bonds. Our organization presented the flag to the first organized troop of Boy Scouts and flags were given to two other troops of Boy Scouts, one to the Girl Scouts, one to Orcutt Post No. 79, one to the Michigan State Troops, to the City Schools, to the A. M. E. children for memorial services and a large flag was dedicated to the Patriotic Societies that meet regularly in Grand Army Hall-at a total estimated cost of $275.010. Duri 'ng the years of the war about 2,000 articles beside gun wipes were made which were valued at about $3,000. The Club meetings are being continued to pay for the yearly output of flags. The time spent in war work was a pleasure, as we hoped the garments might bring comfort to deserving heroes. LOUISE E. HARiKER. 287 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY THE FOUR MINUTE MEN When on April 6, 1917, Congress recognized the existence of a state of war between the Imperial German Government and the people of the United States, it became necessary immediately to mobilize not alone the physical but also the Smental and spiritual powers of America. Sudden and violent transitions had been required of the people; first, from a state of comparative security under the so-called Sussex pledge to a state of armed neutrality occasioned by the note of January 31, 1917, announcing the commencement of unrestricted submarine warfare on the following day; and second, to actual state of war because of the carrying out of the threat contained in the note. SATMUEL VAN HORN Following closely upon the declaration of war, the advisability of passing a selective-service law was taken under consideration by Congress. This was a radical change for the people of the United States. To quote from the introduction to the first report of the Provost Marshal General to the Secretary of War: "The administrative history of the United States disclosed a consistent popular adherence to the principle of the voluntary enlistment, if not a repudiation of the principle of selection or compulsory military service. It is true that during the Civil War a modified conscription bill had passed the Congress and had been in effect for a period of two years, but the application of that law can scarcely be termed a popular success. It was softened and weakened by provisions authorizing the payment of bounties and the hiring of substitutes, which practically made it a means for adding inducements to volunteers. Its effect was persuasive rather than compulsory. It reduced the city of New York to a state of anarchy, and it was received throughout the Nation with ill grace and a riot of protest. In practical result, it contributed a compelled service from only 46,347 men out of 776,820 men drafted for service. "With this concrete example and with such abstract deductions as could be made from our history, there were many who feared the total failure of the selective-service law which was enacted by Congress on May 18, 1917. The law was unequivocal in its terms. It boldly recited the military obligations of citizenship. It vested the President with the most plenary powers of prescribing regulations which should strike a balance between the industrial, agricultural, and economic need of the Nation on the one hand, and the military need on the other, and should summon men for service in the place in which it should best suit the common good to call them." This revolutionary act, made absolutely necessary by the exigency of the situation, was presented to the people of America practicaly without preparation at a time when many of them were still debating the necessity for joining in the struggle at all. The presence of millions of people of German birth and ancestry further complicated the situation, and both before and after the law passed the Congress the need for a nationwide campaign of war education became apparent. It was at this point in the affairs of the Nation that the Four Minute Men began their work for the Government. Prior to this, in March, 1917, a group of young business men in Chicago, headed by Donald M. Ryerson conceived the idea of forming themselves into a patriotic committee for the purpose of sending speakers into the motion-picture theaters of Chicago to lay before the people the urgent reasons for new military service requirements as proposed, at that time, in the Chamberlain bill providing for military training of men of 19 or 20. Young men were selected as speakers because the first calls to the national defense would naturally fall upon them, and it was felt therefore that they were the proper persons to present arguments in favor of such service. Mr. Donald M. Ryerson acted as president of the original organization, to which the title of Four Minute Men was given in dual reference to the "Minute Men" of the Revolutionary War and to the time limit necessarily imposed upon speakers who were to appear during brief intermissions in established programs. This organization was incorporated under a State charter as the Four Minute Men of Illinois on April 28, 1917. Mr. Ryerson went to Washington during the early days of the organization in order to obtain the fullest possible information upon the selective-service law, which was substituted for the Chamberlain bill after the declaration of war. In this way he came in contact with the officials of the National Council of Defense and also with Mr. George Creel, chairman of the Committee on Public Information, and the idea of extending the scope of the organization to cover the national field began to take root. When Mr. Ryerson returned to Chicago he took with him authority from the Committee on Public Information to continue the work with the sanction of the Government. The first Government bulletin of information issued to speakers was on the topic of the First Liberty Loan. The purpose of the organization as stated in these early days was as follows: "The purpose of 288 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY the Four Minute Men is to assist the various departments of the Government in the work of national defense during the continuance of the war by the provisions of a national organization of volunteer speakers to present to moving-picture theater audiences four-minute direct messages on subjects of vital national importance prepared under the authority and direction of the proper Government office. This organization will provide a national mouthpiece, under centralized direction at Washington, working with the patriotic assistance of the motion-picture industry, through which these messages of the Government departments to the people can be cleared without confusion." This, in brief, was the basis of organization on which the Four Minute Men were developed on a nationwide scale. Commissions were issued only to those chairmen who had been in the work for a sufficient length of time to establish a right to be instructed with the postal franking privileges for use on all official mail. This privilege was extended to all State and Territorial directors and to a total of 2,629 of the local and county chairmen, distributed among the States. The insignia of the Four Minute Men is a bronze bar with the inscription 4MM4 which was given only after service in three campaigns. It is estimated that the Four Minute Organization of America delivered a total of one million speeches heard by four hundred million individuals during the eighteen months' life of the organization, an average of about twenty-eight thousand speeches reaching more than eleven million people during each of the thirty-six distinct campaigns covered by the forty-six bulletins of the work. On the cessation of hostilities the work was abandoned and the Government issued a discharge to each of the Four Minute Speakers, releasing them from their services to the Government, and to the Chairman of this work a medal or Insignia of Rank was presented by the Department of Public Information of the Government. Kalamazoo contributed her share to this great work of enlightenment and a total of more than fifty of our citizens assisted in the work. The following is a list of the personnel of the Kalamazoo organization that took part in three or more of the campaigns: William Ross Fox, Harry Cooper Howard, William J. Losinger, James A. Johnson, Dr. William McCracken, Mrs. Harry Phillips, Ralph Ralston, Lynn B. Mason, Marvin J. Schaberg, William L. White, George Wigginton, Clark McKenzie, Frank F. Ford, Ernest Burnham, Charles Henry Farrell, Clyde W. Ketchum, Dallas Boudeman, Prof. John Fox, Harry Phillips, Prof. Mark Bailey, Samuel Van Horn. The moving-picture houses of Kalamazoo co-operated in every possible way in this movement, and to them is largely due the credit for the success of the organization; they not only gave the time required to the Four Minute Speakers, but by running films and slides, made it possible to drive home in the most effective manner the facts submitted by the Government through the organization. The Government in appreciation of this co-operation has issued to the moving-picture houses co-operating a very beautiful Certificate of Honor in token of its appreciation. These Certificates were issued to seven theaters of Kalamazoo, the Majestic, Fuller, Elite, New Theater, Lyric, Orpheum and Arcadia.

Ryan' 7. John A. Wheeler WAR AND WELFARE ARMY The Kalamazoo County War and Welfare Army was organized in the spring of 1918 to assist in the various drives and campaigns that were put on in Kalamazoo County in connection with the war. The purpose was to have a permanent organization which should he ready at all times to undertake soliciting and publicity campaigns on short notice. A meeting of all those who would he interested in this plan was called to he held in the Chamher of Commerce rooms and at this meeting the plan was approved and a Director General was chosen by election..Under this plan the City of Kalamazoo was divided into five divisions corresponding, in a general way, to the five wards of the city. (For promoting ready understanding of the limits of the divisions, it was later determined that it would he hest to have these correspond exactly with the wards of the city.) Each of these divisions was subject to the supervision of a director, chosen by the Director General, and each division was divided into a numher of districts, each of which was under the direction of a captain, appointed hy the director of the division, and this captain in turn appointed four or five or more assistants, to each of whom a certain definite territory was assignedIn this way there fere formed 88 districts in the city. Each captain of a district was responsible' for the work in his district, and each of his workers was required to make a list of all persons in his portion of the district. T-his list gave the residence and hbusiness connection of each person; the position of the person in the husiness; his social status; whether married or unmarried; the number of persons in the family in each house, and also covered the citizenship of the individual, whethernative born, naturalized, or alien. This list was also provided with spaces for recording the degree of participation that each individual had in each drive. Thus, on each form, would be recorded the 290 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY amount of the subscription of each individual to the various financial campaigns, his purchase of Liberty Bonds, and his attitude toward the various campaigns and patriotic movements. Each worker was instructed to keep this list accurate at all times, showing removals from the territory in which he worked and removals into the territory. By means of these lists each worker could tell at a glance just what persons he should call upon for the various movements, and he would know what the individual called upon had done and what he could do for the furtherance of the movement undertaken at the time. The workers reported their results to the captains of the districts; the captain to the directors of the divisions and the directors to the Director General, who in turn reported to the director of the campaign or movement that was in progress. In the county, each township was under the direction of a director who was in charge of the whole township and who appointed captains and assistants under him for the various parts of the township, each captain and worker having his definite duties as in the case of the city organization. The first work of the War and Welfare Army, which was organized just after the close of the Third Liberty Loan Campaign, was the making of the census to get all persons listed on the forms above referred to. Incidental to this census campaign a house to house canvass for the Patriotic League was made, and this work was finished by the War and Welfare Army. In connection with the Fourth Liberty Loan, which was conducted as a volunteer movement, the War and Welfare Army made record of the subscriptions of all individuals and endeavored to procure subscriptions from all those who had not made subscriptions voluntarily and who should have made subscriptions. After the signing of the Armistice the War and Welfare Army disbanded. The Director General of the organization, who was elected, was Dr. S. R. Light. George B. Pulfer acted as assistant to the Director General. John Ryan was Treasurer of the movement. Mrs. S. R. Light was Director of Publicity. Mrs. R. E. Keller was Secretary of the organization. Mr. John A. Wheeler was the Director for the First ward; Mrs. W. L. Brownell, Director for the Second ward; Mrs. H. S. Humphrey and Mr. E. R. Kuhn, Directors for the Third ward; Mrs. H. E. Johnson, Director for the Fourth ward; Mr. Glen L. Shipman, Director for the Fifth ward. These, with the persons previously named, constituted the Board of Directors.

The main divisions of the work of the Woman's Committee, Council of National Defense were as follows: The Registration of Women for War-Time Service, taken under proclamation of the Governor of Michigan and upon registration cards approved by the Census Bureau of the U. S. Government. 16,000 women registered in Kalamazoo County and over 800,000 in the State. Cards largely used during the war in placing women's service where needed by the Government and filling places of men going into war service. Cards used after the armistice in Kalamazoo County and throughout the State in finding nurses and other helpers during the influenza epidemic. These 800,000 cards are now a part of the permanent war records of the several counties of the State. Food Production and Conservation departments were administered in close co-operation with the U. S. Food Administration, the U. S. and the State Department of Agriculture and the Woman's Land Army of America. The Woman's Committee was the medium used by the Medical Section of the U. S. Council of National Defense in 1918 in recruiting nurses for war, navy and civilian service. Americanization and Naturalization work was carried on in conjunction with the Americanization Division of the U. S. Department of the Interior and the Naturalization Bureau of the Department of Labor. Child Welfare work was carried on under direction of the Child Conservation Section of the Woman's Committee, Council of National Defense, and the Federal Children's Bureau, the State Chairman being made a special agent of this Bureau, at a dollar a year, during the period of the war. Much work was done in co-operation with Red Cross, Liberty Loan, War Camp Community Service, Savings Stamps Committee, U. S. Shipbuilding Board (recruiting ship mechanics) U. S. Employment Service, Federal Draft Boards, and the Fuel Administration; also for and with State and local boards of health, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Y. W. C.

HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY CITY UNIT Shortly after the appointment of Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane, State Chairman of the W. C. Council of Defense, a unit was formed in Kalamazoo. Under the able supervision of Mrs. J. B. Balch, classes were formed to train women for registrars in preparation for the nationwide registration of the woman power of the country. These classes were held in the City Hall and many women took the training. Very efficient work was done along the lines of food production, conservation and thrift-by the chairmen, Mrs. Wm. Shakespeare and Mrs. Tashjian. A market was started to enable the women of the County to bring their small fruits and garden products direct to the city women; garden production in the city was stimulated; community classes were opened in the public schools where there was adequate equipment and cold pack canning was taught by experts. Also classes were formed, taught by experts, showing the women the best ways of using the different war foods. Many women availed themselves of these opportunities. New ways of thrift were taught these women, who were willing, enthusiastic pupils. They learned to make little garments out of left over pieces of cloth-the slightly worn parts of larger garments and the exhibition of these always attracted much admiration and -enthusiasm. Mrs. 0. H. Clark and Mrs. Blankenburg, Chairmen of "Women and Children in Industry," made surveys of the factories employing "Women and Children," and made several very interesting reports and rendered valuable service.

They succeeded in registering thirteen thousand and four (13,004) women. Following closely upon this work came the W. S. S. drive, Mrs. C. L. VanVranken, Chairman. Mrs. VanVranken used the organization of the Woman's Committee for this work. Mrs. Harry Knappen was made chairman of booths and the women sold fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) worth of stamps in the city. One of the most interesting branches of work undertaken by the committee was that of Child Welfare, Mrs. Clarke Godfrey, Chairman. This consisted largely of weighing and measuring children under school age and was done at the Armory during the Fair and at the car sent out by the State Child Welfare Organization. Working under the direction of Surgeon General Gorgas, the Woman's Committee put on an intensive drive to recruit student nurses. Mrs. Hubert North, assisted by Mrs. E. C. Dayton and by the city nurses were very successful in interesting young women in this branch of service. Mrs. Keene B. Phillips, as Placement Chairman and member of Community Labor Board, furnished clerical help to draft boards Nos. 1 and 2 and trained clerical help for work on questionnaires. Also practical nurses were secured for emergency hospital and private homes during influenza epidemic. By the work of the Placement Chairman and her able assistants, the registration cards were made of very practical use. Mrs. Clare Stearns organized an efficient Speaker's Bureau which, with the children four minute speakers, materially aided in each campaign. Assistance was also rendered by the Motor Corps and other drivers of automobiles. An interesting exhibit was put on at the Armory in October, 1918. Of this Mrs. F. M. Ilgenfritz was made general Chairman. Buttons were sold, the registration of women continued, student nurses were recruited, children were weighed and measured, an interesting food exhibit was displayed from a booth attractively decorated by Miss Wilhelmina DeYoe with her collection of war posters. MRs. L. T. BENNETT, City Chairman. <^ ^jr^%t~~M^^ ^>11111111111111!PPGa ^t~; 297 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO -COUNTY ACTIVITIES OF WESTERN STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DURING PERIOD OF THE WAR Farm Brigade The first contribution that Western Normal made was in the formation of a "Farm Brigade" which was designed to relieve in this vicinity a shortage of farm.7 labor that threatened to discourage farmers from working their land to its full capacity. As early as April 18, 1917, one hundred and fifty students of the Normal pledged half of their time to farm labor. The school gave such students full credit toward graduation, and under this plan there was released an am ount of labor that more than equalled the equivalent of the entire working time of a m1an for ten years. Food Conservation DwoaGET B. WALDO, As early as May 2, 1917, there were 96 young women enrolled in canning Prcidct ~. ~ ~. classes and 47 in seed testing classes. This work was continued throughout the war, and was augmented in the spring of 1918, by a course in Food Administration whose service consisted in buiilding up public sentiment in support of food conservation. Members of all of these classes assisted in giving demonstrations in their home towns, writing articles for their local papers and in many instances, giving addresses. Dr. L. H. Harvey served as chairman of the Kalamazoo War Gardens Committee. Liberty Bonds The high school department early put on an intensive campaign for the sale of Liberty Bonds, subscribing for a one hundred dollar bond itself, which was presented to the school. The Department of History likewise purchased one hundred and fifty dollars worth of bonds. Within a few weeks, the subscriptions of the faculty amounted to over nine thousand dollars. At the time that the Armistice was signed, the children of the Training School alone owned $15,600 in Liberty Bonds, and were 100 per cent savers in War Savings Stamps. At the same time, pupils of the high school had subscribed for $4,200 worth of Liberty Bonds. Red Cross The Spring Term of 1917, saw 106 girls in hospital sewing classes and.92 actively allied with local Red Cross activities. By the following January, Red Cross membership in the school had reached 366, and before the end of that school year every girl in the school was registered for war work with the Women's Committee, Council:of National Defense. The classes in Clothing of the Department of Household Arts devoted approximately one-third of the class time to relief work of all kinds. Hundreds of surgical dressings were made, such as oakum pads, absorbent cotton pads, pneumonia jackets, and muslin bandages of all kinds. Several hundred in all, of children's dresses, petticoats, women's house dresses, pajamas, sweaters, socks, scarfs, and caps were made in the various classes. As a special high school and training school project, thirty-one attractive warm woolen caps with hoods were made. One year after the United States entered the war, every pupil in the high school and the training school, was a member of the Junior Red Cross. The Junior Red Cross activities in the Training School included making gun wipes, comfort pillows, muslin bandages, knitted afghans, children's uyiderclothing, oakum pads, sweaters, scarfs, caps, and comfort kits. In June of the first year of the war, the Western Normal pledged $500 to the Red Cross. Army Y. M. C. A. HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY October 1, 1918, before an immense audience assembled south of the Training School building,.364 men of the school were inducted into the S. A. T. C. (Students' Army Training Corps) and from then on until the corps was demobilized in the following December, the Western Normal became essentially a military training school. The men were organized in two companies, A and B, under military discipline administered by officers assigned by the War Department. These officers included First Lieutenant R. G. Walters and Second Lieutenants R. S. Eaton, Edward A. Chamberlain and Clark Dean. During the preceding summer the Western Normal had sent to the Military Training School at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, Professor J. A. Place of the faculty, and as representatives of the student body, Harold Barnes, Donald Boardman, Bernard Kuhn, Lewellyn Anway and Bruce Shepherd. During the period of the S. A. T. C., Professor Place acted as instructor in Military Science and the student graduates of Fort Sheridan acted as non-commissioned officers of Companies A and B. The ordinary curriculum of the school was made over to conform to the recommendation of the War Department and practically all of the men teachers of the Normal devoted their time to giving courses which were designed to contribute directly toward the preparation of prospective officers for the army. To house the members of the S. A. T. C., commodious barracks, accommodating 270 men were erected facing Michigan avenue. The larger rooms in the Science.building, the Gymnasium, and the Assembly Room of the Administration building were also used as barracks. Complete kitchen equipment was installed in the Training School, and the entire basement made over into a mess hall. Service Flag Exclusive of the students enrolled in the S. A. T. C., the service flag of the Western Normal contains 305 stars, with seven turned to gold. Of this number, 49 served as commissioned officers and 249 as non-commissioned officers. JOHN P. EVERETT. HOME DEMONSTRATION WORK-KALAMAZOO COUNTY The department of Home Demonstration work was added to the County Farm Bureau, March 1st, 1918. The Home Demonstration Agents in the northern and western states are employed co-operatively by the United States Department of Agriculture, the State Agricultural College and the County, to carry on Extension Work in Home Economics in the county. In this enterprise the United States Department of Agriculture is represented by: First, The State Relation Service with its directors and chief of Extension Work, North and West; second, The State Agricultural College with its president and the directors of Extension Service; third, The County, represented by the County Farm Bureau. The work at present is provided for mainly by the Smith Lever funds. The Home Demonstration Agent is directly responsible to the people in her county through the,County Board of Supervisors, to the State Leader of Home Demonstration Agents at the Agricultural College, and through her to the State Extension Director, and to the National Director of Extension Work with women, United States Department of Agriculture, North and West. During the war the County Home Demonstration Agent worked with the women and girls in all phases of work which involved the conservation of foodstuffs and textiles. Now that the war is over, every American home is called upon to play its part in National reconstruction. Every home-maker is needed for a service as important as was her service during the *war. Standards of home efficiency must be such as will make thrift a permanent habit in American ihome life.

For a few years the Camp had an up-hill struggle for existence but obstacles were overcome and today we have one of the most important patriotic bodies in the city. The Camp was named for Richard B. Westnedge, who died in the Philippines during the war with Spain and who was a brother of Col. "Joe," the first Camp Commander. The members of the Camp turned out as an escort each time boys left for the Camps during the struggle just passed and to them also fell the sacred duty of conducting the ceremonies for the heroes who died and were returned to Kalamazoo for burial. Full Military Honors, using the beautiful burial ritual of the United Spanish War Veterans, the Firing Squad with Taps were accorded to twenty-five brave boys who gave up their lives for the Flag. Liberty Bonds of each issue and War Savings Stamps were bought and held in the treasury. Contributions for other war activities were generously given at each call. Up to this time the Camp has taken full charge of decorating the graves of the boys on Memorial Day. No doubt in the future this sacred duty will be performed by the American Legion. The present Commander, Frank C. Burmaster, has worked untiringly in all the activities of the organization. As Department Commander, Gus Stein, has maintained a keen interest throughout the state in all the work of the United Spanish War Veterans. Fifty thousand of the members volunteered their services in the World War with the same willingness they did in '98. Thousands who were unable to enlist in our own army made their way to Canada and enlisted with the British forces. Three former members of Co. C, 32nd Michigan Volunteers, War with Spain, were badly wounded while serving with the Canadian Army. They are Sylvester Gilbert, Chauncy Krymer and Fred Patterson. The accompanying picture contains the officers and members of the Camp who were active in all the war work and especially at the burial ceremonies of the boys of 1917-18-19.

Westnedge Camp No. 16, United Spanish War Veterans, was organized June 20, 1915. This auxiliary was named for the mother of our late comrade, Richard B. Westnedge, who gave his life in the Spanish-American War, and is known as the Mary B. Westnedge Auxiliary No. 10, United Spanish War Veterans. The object of this organization is to co-operate with the comrades of the United Spanish War Veterans in extending aid and sympathy to all needy comrades and in.'A promoting patriotism and a proper reverence for the flag. As an organization the Auxiliary was particularly active in War Work. The / members met twice a week for Red Cross work besides cutting and sending many thousands of gun cleaners to the soldiers across the seas and in various camps in MA-Y B. this country. WESTNEDGE. Previous to the departure of our local companies C and D for Grayling in, June, 1917, the Auxiliary assisted in making and presenting them with 250 comfort kits. They also presented each man in these companies and the sanitary corps with a box of stationery. Later on when our boys were in Texas, Captain Wright, of Company C, wrote the president of the Auxiliary asking that sweaters be furnished the boys before they sailed. This looked like a stupendous task, but the women immediately set to work and with the co-operation of the Daughters of Veterans and other loyal citizens of Kalamazoo the yarn was bought, the sweaters knitted and reached our boys at Waco in time for Christmas. The Auxiliary also sent many knitted articles to soldiers at Camp Custer. Dozens of wash cloths and towels were sent by them to the Base Hospital at Camp Custer and they also made several hundred laundry bags which were sent to the boys overseas. Being affiliated with the local unit of the Women's Committee, Council of National Defense, the Auxiliary was able to assist in many other forms of war work. 301 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY ORCUTT POST MEMBERS Top Row-Geo.

ORCUTT POST NO. 79 Kalamazoo County gave 3,321 soldiers to the Civil War from 1861 to 1865. There is no record of how many of these returned. Orcutt Post No. 79, G. A. R., was organized September 8, 1882, with a charter membership of thirty-one, two of whom, John Lamb and R. P. James, still remain. The present membership is 96. During the World's War the Post, as individuals, contributed to every agency to the very limit of their ability. As a body headed by its fifes and drums it marched in every procession that escorted the young men at the beginning of their adventurous journey across the sea, and welcomed them home again after a valor scarcely if ever excelled. It placed tributes of flowers at the foot of the banner of Gold Stars, in sorrow for those who did not return. It joined in the uproarious enthusiasm of Armisti~ce Day. It has tendered to these young heroes, whose names and faces adorn this volume, a comradeship that could be born only from a kindred experience. We are passing from the stage cheerfully for we know that we yield it to those who worthily are to take our places. As for us we are making our final bow to the world. We know that the world will surge on without us. We only trust that it will never quite forget the old veterans of 1861 to 1865. Without a lament, with a courage as high as when we were young, we stand upon the firing line. As we fall it remains a sacred duty to bear each other in turn to the silent resting place. 'Neath emblems of flowers and a flag and with a final salute, we leave "him alone with his glory." HENRY W. HARVEY. 302 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY KALAMAZOO COLLEGE IN THE WAR No appeal foi- patriotic service failed to mieet a ready response on the part of either the students or faculty of the College. At the suggestion of the Food Commissioner, a large class was formed by the Department of Economics for the study of food conservation. This included foods, their source and supply, available supply of all sorts of foods,, average demnand, the war demand, possibility of using substitutes, methods of preparing substitutes, etc. Two classes were formied in Red Cross Service; one in First Aid and the other in Surgical Dressing. Each Red Cross drive was met by a unanimous subscrip- HEIRBERT L. STESON, tion on the part of the students and faculty. A large amount of material was Pies.Jvolaitazoo prepared by the young women of the Coflege for the Red Cross. During the last year of the war the young women of the College raised a consideiable sum of money, amounting to nearly three hundred dollars, for the purchase of articles for the comfort and relief of the college men in service in France. A considerable amount of this was distributed by one of the college alumnae, Miss Christina Burns, then an army nurse in France. The various departments of the College each sought to do its share in informing the students concerning the war and its issues. The Department of English Literature took up the study of the literature of the war. The Department of Modern Languages studies the war literature of France. The Department of Psychology investigated the psychology of the war with special reference' to the false philosophies of Germany. The Department of History studied the history of the war and the issues at stake. In the financial drives the College did its part. In the fall of 1917, the College pledged itself to raise $1,500 for the war work of the Y. M. C. A. The total amount raised amounted to over $2,100. This was done by sixteen faculty members and less than two hundred students. The total amount of Liberty Bonds purchased is unobtainable, but it was very considerable, considering the fact that about one-third of the students were earning part or all of their expenses in college. As in all the colleges of the land, a call for volunteers was met heroically by the college men. Altogether there were 333 men in the service. Of these 12 were S. A. T. C.; 169 in the army (four of these faculty members); 37 in the navy, and 5 in the marines. There were 75 commissioned officers, consisting of two Colonels, two Lieutenant Colon~els, two Majors, three Captains, sixteen First Lieutenants and forty-five Second Lieutenants; one Commander of the Navy, one Lieutenant Junior grade and three Ensigns. Besides those in the strictly military service, there were, one Army Nurse, two Red Cross workers abroad, and two in this country; one woman in war service as master computor for heavy artillery; two men in the war service at Washington, four men engaged in civilian scientific research work; twelve men engaged in Y. M. C. A. work ove'rseas, and six in Y. M. C. A. work in the camps of the U nited States; two engaged In other war welfare work. This raises the total number of representatives of Kalamazoo College in active service to 367. ERNEST A. BALCH. 303 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS 1. Mrs. Mary Louden 2.

Ora Cellen ORCUTT RELIEF CORPS NO. 110 When all the world was engaged in war work, Orcutt Relief Corps No. 110, Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic and at that time the largest Corps in the State of Michigan, was not behind hand. Besides doing the regular work for which they are organized, they put their shoulders to the wheel and did their "bit" along with other organizations. The 236 members worked with zeal. It is impossible to give a full report or list of work because of incomplete records of special war work. The Corps expended $13.75 for flags, which they presented (through their Patriotic Instructor) to Orcutt Post No. 78, the Boy Scouts and to the Public Schools. They gave the Sons of Veterans $25.00 for the ambulance fund, contributed $20.00 to Orcutt Post Drum Corps for repairs, and donated $50.00 to the Boy Scouts. Though the calls for money were many and insistant, individual members of the Corps contributed $44.05 for special patriotic work. Out of the treasury came $11.99 for yarn and khaki cloth. One hundred and fifty housewives were made, some of them filled by individuals. $100.00 was subscribed for Liberty Bonds. Individual members bought bonds to the amount of $1,000.00 as nearly as can be ascertained. $36.00 yearly is contributed for the care of a French orphan. Our members were 100 per cent in Red Cross membership. They not only made but helped to furnish material for pajamas, hospital leggings, towels, handkerchiefs, housewives, comfort bags and old linen and jelly was sent to the Base Hospital at Camp Custer. Many were the sweaters, socks and helmets knitted and thousands of gun wipes made, for the honor of the Corps and to help their "country" in its time of need. IDA H. PARSONS, Commander. ORPHA PROSENS. 304 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY THE FATHERLESS CHILDREN OF FRANCE'S BRANCH OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE RELIEF OF FRENCH WAR ORPHANS Within a month after the United States had thrown down the gauntlet, and entered upon her part of the great war to make the world safe for democracy, Kalamazoo took up one of the most merciful and humanitarian phases for her entire work as a city of an allied country, She organized a Kalamazoo Chapter of The Fatherless Children of France branch of the Society for the Relief of French Orphans. It was in May of 1917 that Miss J. Schofield came to Kalamazoo, and before the members of the Rotary Club told of the great need of the orphaned ones of war torn 'France. That evening she spoke at a patriotic mass meeting, and a few days later she was followed by Miss Ellinor Fell, who addressed a group, of interested men and women at the People's Church of a Sunday afternoon. Miss Fell, who was one of the most enthusiastic workers of the national organization, so inspired those whom she addressed, and whom she met personally, with the vital importance of caring for the fatherless little ones of France that immediately an organization meeting was called. She impressed upon all with whom she talked, that not alone was it necessary that these little ones should be cared for, for their own good, but quite as much she stressed the importance of this care as a means of maintaining the morale of the French soldier. How can he fight unless he knows that his loved-ones at home are being cared for, she argued. Mrs. F. M. Hodge undertook the preliminary work of organization. She worked tirelessly, and as a result of her efforts, a Kalamazoo Chapter was organized. Mrs. Floyd R. Olmsted was named the chairman; Herbert E. Johnson, treasurer, and Mrs. C. H. Farrell, secretary. They were given the assistance of a very active volunteer committee which worked with enthusiasm to raise sufficient money by personal solicitation to care for French orphans. How well they did their work is evidenced by the fact that Kalamazoo adopted 214 orphans, all of whom were cared for the first year, many for the second year; and a large number of whom will be cared for the third and fourth years. It is a distinct credit to Kalamazoo that this city stood in the front rank of cities of its size in the amount of work done for the relief of French orphans. The committee which did this pioneer work in soliciting funds for the Fatherless Children of France included the following: Mrs. C. H. Farrell, Herbert E. Johnson, Rev. W. F. Kendrick, Prof. W. E. Praeger, W. 0. Jones, Dr. Caroline Bartlett Crane, Mrs. E. M. Sergeant, Mrs. E. P. Wilbur, Mrs. William McCracken, Mrs. F. M.. Hodge, Mrs. Floyd R. Olmsted, Mrs. F. D. Haskell., Mrs. W. S. Dewing, Mrs. D. B. Waldo, Mrs. C. H. Stearns, Mrs. C. S. Campbell, Mrs. A. E. Curtenius, Mrs. Dwight R. Curtenius, Mrs. A. B. Connable, Ellis H. Drake, Mrs. Felix Pagenstecher, Miss Marjorie Burdick, Miss Catherine Severens, Mrs. James H. Wright, 0. B. Towne and Miss Rose Clark. At the end of the first year of work by the organization, it was decided that the chapter should come under the general organization of the Kalamazoo County Patriotic League, and that it should be financed from the Kalamazoo County War Chest. Five thousand dollars of this fund was appropriated by the Kalamazoo Patriotic League for the Fatherless Children of France. In May of 1918, at the annual meeting, Woodbury Ransom was elected chairman, W. 0. Jones, vice-chairman and secretary with H. E. Johnson as treasurer. In May, 1919, W. 0. Jones was named chairman of the organization, Harper C. Maybee, vice-chairman, H. E. Johnson, treasurer, and Miss Theodosia Hadley, secretary. Altogether $13,420,126 has been collected for the relief of the Fatherless Children of France through the medium of this organization of which $12,422.81 has been forwarded through the J. P. Morgan Co. 305 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY Indeed the work of this organization was one of love and human sympathy, which was given a distinctive element through the personal touch which was afforded. In some cases the mothers of these children remarried. Then they were withdrawn from the list of Fatherless children, and in their place was substituted another orphan, so that in several instances one subscription helped more than a single child. Among the Kalamazoo organizations and groups which adopted French orphans were the following: SThe Baptist church of Schoolcraft, Sunday school classes of the First Baptist church of Kalamazoo, Illinois Envelope Co. girls, New Idea Club, Park Street Church of Christ, First Presbyterian church, Sunday school, and Christian Endeavor, Twentieth Century Club, First Congregational church, Sixth Grade Club, Training School, Kindergarten Club and Women's League of Western State Normal, Boys' department of the First Baptist church, Barristers' club, Climax Thimble Club, Class 24 of the First Methodist church and others. Nor did their efforts in behalf of the French orphans cease with the signing of the Armistice. Plans were laid for continuing the work for at least two years more, and as fast as children reached the age of 14 years, younger ones took their places in the adoptions. Kalamazoo County did much war work. She did her war work well. But no 'one phase of war work deserves more credit for the conscientious self-sacrificing effort expended and its humanitarian and patriotic purpose than that which was done for the relief of the Fatherless Children of France. MRs. FLOYD OLMSTED. BENEVOLENT AND PROTECTIVE ORDER OF ELKS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA-KALAMAZOO LODGE NO. 50 It was the duty of each organized body in these United States, during the crisis from which our country has just emerged, to devote time, effort and give financial aid, that those soldiers of the democracy of which we are all so proud, could be cared for, their unity, their principles and their ideals maintained. The local lodge of Elks gave fifty-two of its members to the various federal services. Its Club House was offered and used by the Examining Draft Board. Service men were always welcome and an open house was maintained during the entire period of the war. Sixteen hundred dollars was raised by the local lodge, its share of the two million dollars pledged by the Grand Lodge toward War Relief Work. The Salvation Army Fund Drive in Kalamazoo County was conducted by the Elks and a total of seven hundred dollars raised. Commander Booth of the Salvation Army gives great credit to the Order of Elks for the success of their organization over there, during the war. E. E. LABADIE, Secretary. 306 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY THE WAR WORK OF THE KALAMAZOO PUBLIC SCHOOLS DURING THE WORLD WAR If the real facts could be placed before us it would probably be found that no other force outside the actual war agencies did more toward winning the Great War than did the public schools. And in this work Kalamazoo schools did their full share. They perfected an organization very soon after the opening in September, 1917, and continued very actively throughout the war period. They were the natural medium through which any important matter was communicated to the home and by the work of their loyal teaching corps, no other force did more to unify the people for enthusiastic support of the war. Through the channel of instruction the disaffected or disloyal were largely won over to active participation. ELLIS H. DRAKE, I. The Organization of the Work Sup). of Schools. Committees were appointed by the Superintendent in September, 1917, and a very effective organization was put into operation. A general executive committee consisting of the supervisory corps had general oversight of all lines of activity. The work was divided into ten sections with a general committee in charge of each. In the buildings the principal was the chairman of each section and appointed one director in charge of each activity. Power was centralized in the hands of each director, so that when the central office telephoned a building for the execution of an order the principal immediately notified the director of the work and the order was put into execution at once. The director, like the "messenger to Garcia," did not question or delay but faithfully and loyally assumed the responsibility. The sub-committee work consisted of the following activities: Red Cross membership, bazaar; academic war work in instruction in English, geography, history and arithmetic; salvage, war savings stamps, war gardening; instruction in conservation of food, fuel, clothing, money and production of food; war activities in the departmental lines of physical education, music, art, manual training, household arts and kindergarten; students' working reserve, home and community service. In the Red Cross membership the schools were 100 per cent strong-every possible unit was formed into an auxiliary. During the second year of the war practically all school war activities were in charge of the Red Cross organization. The eight hours of work were accomplished by all and the membership fees earned by group activity of the children. During one year the children paid in over $1,700 in Red Cross fees, purchased over $26,000 in W. S. S., over $55,000 in Liberty Bonds and gave over $400 in relief money. The teachers themselves subscribed for over $30,000 worth of bonds of one issue. II. The Work in General The sewing department made, in large quantities, garments for the Belgians, bandages, gowns, comfort pillows, gun wipes, surgical dressings, aprons, hospital shirts, capes, underwear, clippings for pillows, etc.,! The cooking department made jelly, canned grape juice and made Christmas packages for the soldiers. The manual training department made bedside tables for the hospitals, toys for sale, floats for the parades and knitting machines on which the children made sweaters. The art department made scrap books for the soldiers, posters advertising the work of other departments, art pieces and industrial arts articles for sale; posters of various activities, war industries, etc. In instructional lines every department had its particular work. The special literature classes prepared four minute addresses on subjects submitted by the war department. These addresses were given on various occasions at church and Sunday school, in advertising Liberty Bond and War Savings Stamps sales. This department did especially valuable work in the publicity of all important events and activities. In geography, maps were made of the military campaigns of the war zones, possessions of nations at war, and product regions. In history the children were taught the causes of the war, the events, campaigns and progress.. The salvage committees collected old paper, rubber, copper, tin foil, old clothes, peach pits, nut shells and other material that could be turned to account in any way. War gardening committees put under cultivation in the city available grounds and trained children in garden making. The Conservation Committee prepared instruction in conservation of food, fuel, clothing and money. The music department taught patriotic songs, new and old, and did much for patriotic occasions. 307 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY The physical education department conducted campaigns for health education, adopted and cardried out the health crusade as a patriotic duty, taught community sanitation and recreation. The teachers of this dep~artment took an important part in the War Camp Community Service. Even the little people of the kindergarten were encouraged to take interest in the work of the7 Red Cross, and all forms of war service within the realm of their experience. III. The War Work Exhibit As a demonstration of the war work of the schools, in order that the general public might have~ an opportunity to see it, an exhibit was held in the gymnasium of the Central High School on- Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, May 27, 28 and 29, 1918. Special committees were appointed to carry out the details of the preparation. The War Savings Club exhibit consisted of a panorama portraying the path of a thrift stamp. shot fired from a cannon at the hase of the Statue of Libe~rty to Berlin. There was a thrift booth from which stamps were sold by captains from various societies and where any visitor could sign formembership and secure material concerning Thrift and War Savings Stamps and organization of societies. Four minute speeches prepared by children were delivered every' fifteen minutes. Posters and fifty copies of such speeches were exhibited. There was a working demonstration of the knitting machine made by the manual training department, and garment making by use of it. The sewing department demonstrated the making of bandages and displayed poster demonstration of other needle work. The garden clubs had an exhibit of garden products. A space was allotted in which actual plant growth was shown. There were posters and p ictures of gardens and stories written about gardens and gardening. The cooking department demonstrated the food conservation movement. There was a wheat saving exhibit, yeast breads, quick breads, war cookies, cakes and pastries made by use of various substitutes. Utensils were exhibited for preservation of fruits and vegetables. A table was set with three balanced meals. Food savings p-osters were shown. The war stories exhibit told in compositions by the fifth and sixth grade children how the children did various phases of war work, such as the earning of money for Thrift Stamps. Posters and rhymes told similar stories. The geography exhibit consisted of world maps, maps showing various battle fronts, canals, products, maps of Europe and the United States with reference to raw and finished products used in the war; also posters on the countries of Europe and particularly one on France relative to the life of the people before and after the war began. Booklets of European countries with comparative statistics were shown. The art department had an elaborate display of pictures and hand made articles from the sale of which funds were derived for the purchase of material necessary to carry on the war work of this department. Aside from an exhibit there was a program of community singing of war songs, new and old, military drills by the high school cadets and drills by the physical education department. IV.

The Literature Department of the Elementary School gave special attention to the spreading of information concerning the history of and activities of the Red Cross Society, at the time of the Christmas membership drive. In connection with the Liberty Loan campaign and the campaign for the sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps a program was carried out in the literature rooms-four minute speeches formed a part of this work. In connection with the making of story books, the various grades co-operated with the Art Department in selecting and censoring the magazine articles which were mounted in the books. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) JESSIE S. WALTON, Chairman. Probably never did children take keener interest in their work than during the war period. Only sickness or other necessity kept a child from school. The schools were filled with work of actual life of the day. All who attended during the war period will doubtless always remember those days and with pride look back to the part their schools and they themselves took in winning the Great War. Twenty-five young men from the high school gave up their work to offer their lives if need be for the defense of their country. Fourteen men of the teaching corps resigned to enter some branch of the service. A number of women also resigned to enter some phase of the service, clerical work at Washington, Red Cross nursing or other duty. The teachers who remained at home did their part nobly in the labors indicated in this article and in the regular work of preparation of young people for the duties and responsibilities of life in the greatest democracy of the world. May 24, 1920. E. H. DRAKE, Superintendent. SOCIAL SERVICE CLUB The Social Service Club devoted its entire effort to war work during the years of 1917-18. Thirtyfive dollars in cash was contributed to the various war relief funds and all of the five social centers gave their entire time to Red Cross work and contributed the following: 128 sweaters, 14 caps, 148 pair of socks, 148 pair of wristlets, 34 helmets, 37 mufflers, 5 wash cloths. A total of 514 knitted articles were reported. In sewing work 377 articles were completed consisting of bandages, towels and hospital garments. 600 shot bags were made and 1,000 gun wipes cut. Mrs. Jennie Zuidweg, 80 years of age, at the Burdick Street Center, knit 38 pairs of socks. MINNIBEL REID, Secretary. Mr. Frank Wemesfeller made a unique record for himself during the war by -H f~,. -lM spending his spare time knitting for the soldiers. He has to his credit 56 sweaters knitted and turned over to the Red Cross for which service he received recognition in the form of the beautiful enameled Red Cross badge. Mr. Wemesfeller certainly made a business of patriotism during the war. FRANK WEMESFELLER 311 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY WAR LIBRARY SERVICE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION KALAMAZOO COUNTY The month following the declaration of war by the United States the American Library Association met in regular annual conference at Louisville, Kentucky. At this time those with a long vision of what it would mean to our country to engage in the Great World War saw the need of supplying books and other reading matter to our soldiers, sailors and marines. The new Commission on Training Camp Activities had just been appointed, the Y. M. C. A. was organizing for action, and others were beginning to plan for the welfare of our fighters. Conferences were held with representatives of these various organizations, the War Department was approached, and in the end Secretary Baker requested the American Library Association to assume the duty of supplying our men with reading material, since to do this successfully it should be done by those familiar with the work. In this way the War Library Service of the American Library Association was created. At the close of the war the A. L. A. reported 7,500,000 books had been put into this servicetwice the number of volumes in the largest library in the world. $5,250,000.00 had been collected for the work, and a working organization of 564 people had been built up. Over 2,500,000 books had been gathered, prepared and shipped for overseas alone; over 5,000,000 gift books were gathered, and over 2,000,000 purchased from carefully prepared lists. Library buildings were erected in all large camps in this country, and both here and abroad the welfare huts of the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board, Red Cross and others were utilized as places for the distribution of our books and magazines. Transports, and all ships of the Navy were supplied. With the establishment of the A. E. F. University new opportunities for service opened up. The hospitals, at home and abroad, had their special librarians and library service. Siberia, Italy, Archangel, Coblentz, all were reached by the War Library Service. Moreover, by the close of the war the War and Navy Departments of the government had become so impressed by the value of the service that serious efforts are now being made to continue the book service to all men in the army, navy, and marine corps; even merchant marines and men of the life saving stations are included in the new plans. Professional librarians are already in the employ of the government who will be charged with working out the details of this service. In this War Library Service of the American Library Association, Kalamazoo County has had but a small part. There were but two or three members of the A. L. A. in the county; these were members of the staff of the Kalamazoo Public Library. In the first A. L. A. drive for funds, in September, 1917, little was done. Miss Mary P. Parr of Philadelphia was temporarily a member of the Library Staff, and she undertook to interest Kalamazoo. Being a stranger without backing, she was. unable to do much; $240.39 was the total result of her efforts. The total amount of the funds of the County's League received by the Michigan Patriotic Fund was $53,500.00. The Michigan Patriotic Fund was, in its turn, to pay the Michigan gifts over to the United War Work Campaign by which body the whole amount was to be distributed on the agreed pro rata basis among the seven organizations. The proportion of the A. L. A. was 2.05 per cent, and this would mean $1,096.75 from Kalamazoo County. This amount, added to the $240'.39 collected in 1917, makes a total of $1,437.14 contributed to the War Library Service of the American Library Association from Kalamazoo County. In addition to efforts to raise money to aid in carrying books and other reading matter to our men the American Library Association sent out to the people an almost continuous call for books and periodicals. In this work the Kalamazoo County members had better results. A total of 3,14& books were sent to camps or to dispatch offices for overseas shipments, and hundreds-probably thousands-of magazines were collected. Newspapers and friends aided materially in this work. Practically all the magazines collected were sent to Camp Custer. It was also our privilege to contribute some personal service in the A. L. A. Library maintained at the Base Hospital at Camp Custer. In these small ways did the Kalamazoo County members of the A. L. A. contribute to the broad work of the War Library Service of the American Library Association.

The first appearance of the organization in uniform occurred on November 11th at the Peace Day celebration. The work continued to progress rapidly until Mr. Moore was obliged to leave, having received a lieutenant's commission in the Aviation Corps. In February a new instructor was obtained, Lieut. James B. Fleugel, Signal Corps U. S. A., and from the time of his arrival to the close of the school year the spirit and enthusiasm of the battalion were kept high. On May 22, during the parade of the 126th Regiment, the Cadets patrolled the line of march. Both on the drill field and on the rifle range the organization showed up splendidly, and this degree of proficiency was maintained until the demobilization at the end of the school term in June, 1919.

According to Dan Beard, the National Scout Commissioner, there were 30,000' scouts in America at the time Lieutenant-General Sir Robert BadenPowell visited this country collecting data for the Boy Scout Movement in England. But it was not until Sir Baden-Powell had made a success of his work in England that the men in this country realized the great possibilities in Scouting. February 8, 1910, the Boy Scouts of America was incorporated at Washington, D. C., with headquarters in New York City. From this time on the movement has grown rapidly. There are now (1919) almost 500,000 registered Scouts in the United States. The Boy Scouts of America is not a military organization but always stands ready to serve, whether it is in time of war or time of peace. The Boy Scouts were too young to serve at the front so they served in the rear and we are proud of their service. They were called upon for all kinds of work and "Let the Scouts do it" became the slogan of many of the War Work Organizations. Even though there was no Executive from August, 1917, to June, 1918, the Scouts went about the work assigned to them. Of their earlier work, records are incomplete. They passed from house to house letters, folders and bills, and hung Liberty Bells on the door knobs of every house in the city, tacked up posters and signs all over town, on billboards, telephone poles and in store windows. The Scouts were not allowed to solicit for Liberty Loan Bonds until the last days of the campaign, they were in fact the "Gleaners" to follow along after and pick up stray dollars from those who were undecided. The boys felt this responsibility keenly. I shall not soon forget the look of disgust on the faces of the boys as they came back after a fruitless and heated argument with a "hyphenate" who would not invest in their Uncle Sam's Bonds. No danger of these young Americans becoming Bolsheviks. In the first, second and third drives a large number of Scouts worked and seven boys received medals for selling ten bonds each. They were: John Waldo, Tom Shepherd, Wilbert Tucker, Leslie Shears, Dougal Mac Ewan, Fred Shillito and Douglas Doubleday. In November, 1918, a compaign was started for the purpose of raising funds for the "Y" Work among Soldiers and Sailors and naturally the Scouts were called upon to help in this "earn and give" campaign. One troop had saved some money to build a cabin, but instead they emptied their treasury into this fund. Twenty-five other Scouts pledged to give individually from one to ten dollars each, and the total sum amounted to $200.00. In May, 1918, the Kalamazoo Council of Boy Scouts agreed to call M. H. E. Kinsey, the Scout Executive of Portsmouth, Ohio, to Kalamazoo as the Scout Executive. He began his duties June 1st and from that time on records were kept of all that was done by the boys. It was then that the boys began in earnest to sell War Savings Stamps and by July 20th the sales amounted to $11,306.52. Sixteen of the boys won "Ace Medals" for proficient work. About this time black walnut wood began to be scarce and the government began looking around for more supplies. The Boy Scouts were chosen to do this investigating and they covered the entire county in their search and located trees which could be bought from the owners. 816 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY KALAMAZOO BOY SCOUTS RECEIVING MEDALS ON RECOGNITION DAY During the summer of 1918 the "Service Scouts Corps" was organized among the Kalamazoo Scouts. Quoting from their constitution: "The Purpose of the Service Scout Corps shall be to render service to all Soldiers and Sailors in the US. Army and Navy, co-operating with all War Agencies in the performance of this work. Further: This Corps stands ready at any time to help our Government in any task that it may be called upon to perform." The Boy Scouts met all Troop Trains and assisted the Canteen service of the Red Cross. Two days a week they assisted all day at the Red Circle Club. This work was continued after the end *of the war until the Red Circle was closed. During the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive the Scouts showed up the best of all. Bonds to the amount of $3,450.00 were sold by the boys in six days. Sixteen Scouts came out with smiles in their beaming faces and medals on their throbbing bosoms. The names of the boys who were added to the list of medal winners are Don Carson, William Foard, Kenneth Dorgan, James Wise, Fred Shillito, Hubert Klosterman, William Stevenson, John Carls and Harold Buttery. By the time the Fifth Liberty Loan Campaign was called the men in charge had the business of getting the money down to such a fine point that they had the quota raised almost the first day and the boys were not allowed to sell until the end of the week. Even at that the boys scouted around and picked up $10,000.00 as nobody but the Scouts know how to do-they had by this time had some practice at raising money. The total amount of Liberty Bonds sold by the Scouts of Kalamazoo amounted to about $50,000.00. Their sale of War Savings Stamps to $54,606.00, thus the total amount of money turned from the pockets of Kalamazoo people into the coffers of their Uncle Samuel, through the.Scouts Organization, will run over the $100,000.00 mark. Who says boys aren't worth their feed? A. S. BARROWS, Scout Executive. 317 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY ARMENIAN-SYRIAN RELIEF In July, 1917, Mayor James B. Balch received an urgent call from the American Committee for Armenian-Syrian Relief to organize a local committee to raise $11,000.00 as Kalamazoo's quota in a National fund of $15,000,000.00. Mr. Balch called to his office the following citizens: Mrs. Fred M. Hodge, Mr. Charles A. Peck, Dr. William E. Upjohn, Mr. Franklin Varney, Rev. Caroline B. Crane, Rev. Jacob Vander Meulen, Mr. John Ryan, Mr. Frank D. Haskell, Dr. W. A. Stone, Mr. Donald H. Haines, Miss Blanche Draper, Dr. H. H. Tashjian. At that meeting Mayor Balch presented the horrible consequence of Turkish dep-ortations upon the Armenians and Syrians. The question whether the New York Committee was able to help, these victims of the war who. suffered on account of their sympathy with the cause of the Allies was discussed pro and con. Finally the meeting was postponed for two weeks to get accurate data. At the next meeting Mayor Balch produced letters from Cleveland Dodge, of New York, and from the state department satisfying the judgment of those present that if these funds were raised every cent would reach its object in relieving victims of the Turk-Teutonic fury in Asia Minor. Mayor Balch then urged Mrs. F. M. Hodge to accept the responsibility of this local committee. This was a most logical appointment because Mrs. Hodge showed keen sympathy -and active interest from the very beginning without hesitating to question the feasibility of such a venture. Walter Otis became treasurer and Dr. Tashjian secretary. The various activities of the committee final~ly developed into getting all Kalamazoo organizations to help, in raising the fund-either by contributions as a body or by soliciting among themselves. Among these may be mentioned: The Elks Lodge. The Rotary Club. The Kiwanis Club. The Ministerial Alliance gave active support through their various churches and The Kalamazoo Gazette generous donations of space on various occasions. The Rotary Club is to be especially mentioned as some of its members came forward and took charge of the campaign personally. It was due to the efforts of Mr. George Fuller, Mr. George Wigginton, and Mr.'Win. Brownell that Mr. Chas. Peck was induced on October 5th to invite to luncheon at the Park-American Hotel 500 representative business men of the city. Mr. D. B. Waldo, of the Western State Normal School, was toastmaster and introduced Prof. Hall, of Beirut, Syria. Telegrams from Secretary Lansing and from Armenian Relief headquarters in New York were read, showing to the audience the urgency of immcdiate help and the positiveness of its reaching the suff erers. Prof. Hall, a Kalamazoo man, who had been many years in Syria had just returned from the stricken land and gave a thrilling talk about what he had seen and felt on the spot and urged the people to fulfill their debt of gratitude to the land from which Christian civilization had received so much. Dr. Tashjian, a native of Armenia, also gave a 15 minute talk, explaining the events which led 318 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY REV. ALONZO B. GARMAN, Cotmmander GEORGE C. PLOUGH, (Clomlancider THE SONS OF VETERANS In the year 1914 the organization known as the Sons of Veterans of 1861 was founded in Kalamazoo by Mrs. Katherine Miller, then president of the Woman's Relief Corps. Its first Commander was Oscar O. Fry. The second was Harry M. Marion, the third in command was W. H. Forbes; fourth, Chas. T. Barnes; the fifth was George C. Plough, who resigned in order to enter the service of his country. The vacancy was filled by Rev. Alonzo B. Garman, who was re-elected in 1919. This organization has a membership at present of 102. During the World War they raised $100.00 toward a $225,000 ambulance fund. Raised money to buy yarn which was knit into sweaters by the Daughters of Veterans, also gave for Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. work. Eight of their youngest members were in service, seven of whom returned, one only being left there. This was Colonel Joseph Westnedge. In 1918 Kalamazoo was honored by having Harry M. Marion elected Division Commander of Michigan. This Division of 1,200 members is a part of the National Association composed of 300,000 members, all of whom were assessed $1.00 each to carry on war work. Orcutt Camp also used its funds for the purpose of purchasing War Stamps and Liberty Bonds. They furnished at different times suppers and entertainments for soldiers from Camp Custer and assisted the Daughters in supplying the departing soldiers with comfort kits, etc. WAR WORK OF CIVIC IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE The Civic's Department of the Civic Improvement League co-operating with the Thrift Committee of the Woman's Committee, Council of National Defense, confined its work almost entirely, during the war period, to food conservation. For one week at the opening of the canning season, government experts from the Michigan Agricultural College gave free demonstrations and instructions in the new method of cold pack canning of fruits, vegetables and meats. This work was carried on for the remainder of the season by local domestic science teachers, and a number of homekeepers. The Board of Education granted the use of the Public School buildings, which were equipped for domestic science work, during the vacation period. At the close of the canning season a series of lessons on food values, balanced meals, and the use of substitute materials were given. Hundreds of homekeepers were benefited by these free lessons, during the first year of the War. The following year, by securing a County Home Economic Instructor it was possible to continue the work and carry it into every part of the city. Fourteen church societies and several other organizations opened their kitchens and parlors for the instructor's use. MRS. M. IN. KENNEDY. 819 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY Porty-Sixth (Compan/. MICHIGAN STATE TROOPS The Forty-sixth Company of Michigan State Troops had its inception in a volunteer company of Home Guards, which was organized in the city of Kalamazoo in April, 1917. Later, the state legislature provided by law for a body of organized militia for state defense to take the place of the National Guard, after the latter had been mustered into the federal service. The company of Home Guards was thereupon taken into the service of the State as the Forty-sixth company of Michigan State Troops. The term of enlistment was for three years. This company drilled twice a week and spent one day a month on the government rifle range near Comstock in target practice. The purpose of the organization was primarily for use in case of disorders occurring in the state, but it also performed a very useful service in giving preliminary training to men who were afterwards enlisted in the federal service. Many of them became officers in the army or navy, and most of them were appointed non-commissioned or petty officers. The personnel of the company changed very rapidly on account of the men enfering the federal service; and for this reason, while the average strength of the company was eighty or ninety men, the number of enlistments was much greater. The officers of the company were as follows: Captains, R. F. Cole, C. L. Dibble, R. L. Snow; First Lieutenants, Milo 0. Bennett, Merle C. Van Wormer, John W. Harding; Second Lieutenants, William Smith, Elwin WV. Gray. The non-commissioned officers were as follows: First Sergeants, T. Druif, Mark E. Garrison, Roy W. Carpenter; Supply Sergeants, Lee C.

MissGermain Guiot, Physical Director" Western, State NTorcmal. To do their duty, to become physically fit, and to learn the great out doors is the object of the Girl Scout movement. The entrance of the United States into the war gave the Girl Scouts an opportunity to put their views of loyalty into service. In W\ashington they were officially used in the War Department, with salary; in Kalamazoo they collected and donated hundreds of books for Soldiers' libraries, and aided materially in all War Service. The out door life of the Girl Scouts is centered about their Shack which is situated on the Kleinstuck Estate. Here birds, animals and plants abound for their investigation. And here they have put their manual training into practical use. I In 1918 the National Educational Association considered the Scout movement one of the great factors in the solution of the girl and boy problem. The aroused sense of loyalty and responsibility of the Girl Scouts of Kalamazoo bears out the opinion of the National Educational Association. BLANCH EPLER. 322 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY PROPOSED VICTORY HIGHWAY During the summer of 1918 there was considerable discussion in nearly every hamlet in the state in regard to some suitable memorial for those who had a part in the Great War. Many and various projects were formed and discussed, many had merit. A Memorial Highway to commemorate the deeds of the Michigan boys, was proposed by Willard M. Bryant, Field Secretary of Good Roads Association. The route as outlined by Mr. Bryant was from Chicago, skirting Lake Michigan to St. Joseph, Benton Harbor, then east through the beautiful villages of Watervliet, Hartford, Lawrence and Paw Paw to the city of Kalamazoo, then via Galesburg, Augusta and Camp Custer, to Battle Creek, Bellevue, Olivet, Charlotte, Lansing, Perry, Owosso, where the road would divide, one branch extending north up the fertile Saginaw Valley, through Chesaning, St. Charles, Saginaw and Bay City, the other branch extending from Owosso to Flint, Lapeer and Imlay City to Port Huron. January 16, 1919, more than five hundred people representing the twelve counties through which this highway would extend were in convention in Lansing. They were addressed by the presiding officer, Hon. Phillip T. Colgrove, Mayor Ferle of Lansing, Hon. Wm. S. Linton, Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane, A. L. Miller, Hon. Frank Rogers, W. M. Bryant and others. As officers of the Victory Highway Association, the following names were presented and adopted: President, Floyd Allen, Flint; Vice-President, A. P. Cady, Benton Harbor; Secretary, A. L. Miller, Battle Creek; Treasurer, D. M. Christian, Owosso. The Routing Committee presented a report on route as already outlined, which was adopted. A county committee of three members for each county was nanied. Committees are appointed in every county on Beautifying the Highway and also on Memorials. Since the inception of this highway it has met with the greatest enthusiasm and earnest co-operation from the people. Since the convention adjourned a great amount of work has been accomplished, sections of this highway that were not a trunk line has been adopted as a trunk line and the building and completion of the road is assured, (on all trunk lines the state pays 75 per cent of the cost of construction, the local county 25 per cent,) it is confidently expected that the entire 343 miles will be improved within two years and that those sections now improved with gravel will within five years be replaced by permanent paved roads not less than eighteen feet in width. It is the thought to make this highway a source of delight to all who use it, residents will be encouraged to plant flowers, shrubs and plants of various kinds in front of their property and where trees are not already set to have a double row of walnut trees. It is hoped that various memorials will be constructed along the wayside, some townships will erect a great boulder and loving hands will place upon it a tablet inscribed with the names of all who took part in the war from that locality, many cities are preparing more elaborate testimonials in the way of parks, community buildings, etc. The matter of uniting and carrying this Memorial road from Port Huron across Canada. to the Atlantic via Sarnia, Toronto, Montreal and Quebec has been presented to the Canadian people and they are evincing a great interest in the proposed highway and will undoubtedly join with us in extending it. Further extension is hoped for. Recently Mr. Bryant has presented the matter to the Chicago Association of Commerce, inviting their aid in calling a great convention in that city for the purpose of urging the people of the Mississippi Valley and Canada to attend and begin an effort to complete a road from the Gulf of Mexico via Michigan to the Atlantic. Wx. M. BRYANT. REBEKAHT LODGES The three Rebekah Lodges of Kalamazoo responded most loyally to the many calls made upon the people of the county during the years our country was at war. They, with the women of other organizations bought yarn and other materials with money from their treasuries. Social Rebekah Lodge No. 35 subscribed for four $100.00 Liberty Bonds, twenty War Savings Stamps and contributed toward the Patriotic League Fund. They furnished 102 knitted garments, also pajamas, towels and napkins, and 104 dozen gun wipes. Burr Oak Lodge No. 193 took out one $50.00 Liberty Bond, 6 War Savings Stamps and contributed 54 knitted garments and 11,000 gun wipes. Triple Link Lodge No. 265 purchased two $100.00 Liberty Bonds and gave 42 paper lined vests, 5,000 gun wipes and 12 comfort kits. 323 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY AMERICAN LEGION 1. R.

Waite, Segt. at Arm-s During the early part of March, 1918, each division in the A. E. F. was ordered to send a certain numher of men to Paris, France, as delegates to a convention for the purpose of forming a veteran organization. These delegates, nearly 1,000 officers and men, met March 15 to 17 and adopted a declaration of principles and selected as their name "The American Legion." A similar meeting was held in the United States from May 8 to 10 at St. Louis and indorsed and confirmed all that was done at the Paris Convention. Now why should the veterans of the World War form an association? May we not answer that question in the spirit of the Preamble of the Constitution. "For God and country we associate ourselves together for the following purposes: To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, to maintain law and order, to fcster and perpetuate a one hundred per cent Americanism, to preserve the memories and incidents of our association in the great war, to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; to make right the master of might, to promote peace and good will on earth, to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness." For what greater reason could that body of men have an organization? It is a little over a year after the signing of the Armistice and today we all realize what a great need there is for an organization of this kind. Approximately 4,800,000 young men, men who offered their lives if need he that this nation might emerge from the gr 'eatest war in history victorious, still fighting for the right. Fighting that this nation may he as great in peace as it was in war. Fighting every faction that would destr~oy this government. Fighting that we may not lose all that we fought for in this great war, and attempting to teach those people who would believe otherwise that this nation is for Amreicans and those who wish to be Americans and that that man or woman who would destroy our very life as a nation had best return to that nation from which he or she came. 324 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY Those who are eligible to the American Legion are any soldier, sailor, or marine, who served honorably between April 6th, 1917, and November 11th, 1918, and all women who were regularly enlisted or commissioned and served honorably in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps, between the dates above given. It is the organization of American Veterans of the World War, both men and women. It is nonpartisan and non-political. It is a civilian organization not military or militaristic. Nearly all of its members are men who were civilians before the war, and are now again civilians. It makes no distinction between overseas men and women and men and women who did not get overseas. The Kalamazoo Post of The American Legion was formed at the Armory the evening of June 5th, 1919. About 100 men of all ranks and organizations met and perfected the plans for this post. After very little debate the post was named after the late Colonel Joseph B. Westnedge and the State office gave it the number, 36. Therefore the official name of the post is Joseph B. Westnedge Post No. 36. The American Legion. The officers elected for the first term were as follows: Commander, James M. Wilson; Vice-Commander, Otto K. Buder; Adjutant, Paul Tedrow; Finance Officer, Wheeler Rickman; Sergeant-at-Arms, William Walters; Chaplain, Rev. Father Ben Ivins. Some difficulty was experienced at first in convincing the ex-service men of the necessity of joining the local post but after considerable hard work on the part of the interested members, the membership has been raised until at the present time we have about 1,000 members. The post is recognized by the State officers as one of the most successful in the State and everything is being done to make Kalamazoo 100 per cent The American Legion. Much good has already been accomplished in the way of assisting exservice men and women to first-class positions, straightening out back pay, insurance, liberty bonds, lost baggage, allotments, etc., besides promoting the good fellowship that must be between such men and women and convincing all who live in our city that "America is for Americans." May the American Legion be the greatest factor this country has ever had to promote good citizenship and enroll true Americans, and may it deserve the support of every red-blooded son and daughter of this great republic. JAMES M. WILSON, Oomfla%der. Within a few days after war was declared, Miss Alice Blair and Miss Rosamond Praeger went to Chicago, where they took a short course in surgical dressings. Upon their return to Kalamazoo, they conducted the first classes in this branch of the Red Cross work, and under their directions,...... j many surgical dressings were made and shipped.:::: ALICE BLAIR ROSAMOND PRAEGEPR 325 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY REGIMENTAL COLORS PRESENTED TO THE 126TH BY THE KALAMAZOO COUNCIL KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS STORY OF THE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-SIXTH REGIMENT By Charles Rhuel Myers, Capt. 126th. It was not until July 3rd, 1917, several months after the entrance of the United States into the World War, that the Proclamation of the President, calling into Federal Service the troops of Wisconsin and Michigan, was issued. From April 6th till July 3rd, 1917, might properly be called the organization period. It was a foregone conclusion that the 126th, through the 32nd Michigan Infantry would be called upon for service. Colonel Westnedge, as Commanding Officer of the 32nd Michigan Infantry, was busy perfecting his regiment and that his work was well done is shown in the history of the Regiment. Indeed it made a splendid showing when finally gathered together at Grayling, Michigan, the training camp of the State, in mid July. At Grayling the recruits were given their first instruction and the period from arrival there until leaving for Camp MacArthur at Waco, Texas, was profitably spent in recruit instruction and in equipping the Regiment for the hard long hours of training which was to be its lot in sunny Texas. G. O. No. 101 War Department, 1917, organized the 32nd Division (old 12th) from the troops of Wisconsin and Michigan. At this time Wisconsin had six Regiments of Infantry (two organized after the beginning of the War) and Michigan had but three Regiments. The original plan was to form in the re-organization four Regiments of Infantry of which Wisconsin would have three and Michigan but one. General Covell, the Commanding General of the Michigan troops, and other Michigan officers objected so strongly to this that the outcome of it was the organization of two Brigades, one from each state. The 63rd Brigade consisting of the 125th and 126th Infantry was formed of Michigan troops with General Covell commanding. The 126th Infantry, Colonel Joseph B. Westnedge, Commanding, was formed from the 32nd Michigan Infantry and a part of the 31st Michigan Infantry. The final reorganization was not completed until late in September, owing to the late arrival of the 33rd Michigan Infantry at Waco, due to their service at the Straits and Camp Custer, as a guard outfit. The period of training at Camp MacArthur until the middle of'January was one continual round 326 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY of hard work from early morning until late at night. It was a period, I think, when we first realized the possibilities of the human body and mind to withstand fatigue. Late in December, 1917, inspectors from the War Department marked ahead the date of leaving for France, owing to the fine condition and splendid training of the Division. WVe were jumped over several Divisions that had heen scheduled to leave ahead of us. The men of the Division were unanimous in giving the credit for this showing to the Commanding Generals and officers whose executive abilities made it possible. In January the 126th left Camp MacArthur, knowing only that the final destination would be "over there." Upon arrival at the coast we found ourselves stationed at Camp Merritt, N. J. The two or three weeks spent here were enjoyable ones. Only 40 miles from New York and no work except a daily hike to keep us in good physical condition. On February 19th the S. S. President Grant left the shores of the United States with the 126th Infantry and other troops aboard, bound for Europe. The President Grant was one of a convoy guarded on the first part of the trip by a U. S. Cruiser. Later when the "danger zone" was reached several torpedo boats arrived to convoy us the remainder of the way. We had the usual sub scare and it's a certainty that few removed any clothes the last few nights at sea. On March 4 we dropped anchor in the Harbour at Brest, France, and until that time very few knew our destination, and it was here on March 6 that the 126th Infantry first touched the' soil of France. A soil that later they were to have a much better acquaintanceship with. A soil that all were glad to have a chance to sleep upon later without a protection or covering, and a soil in which several hundred were destined to sleep for the last time-among the latter our honored and loved Colonel. The regiment upon disembarking immediately entrained in one of the French trains for St. Nazaire. Here it might be well to say that the jokes and stories of the French trains, of which we had heard so much, were so forcibly impressed upon us, that it is safe to say that upon arrival the next morning at St. Nazaire all considered the French railroad accommodations anything but a joke. Our first real disappointment came to us at St. Nazaire. We had had our visions of soon being in battle and being real heroes. Instead we learned that the 32nd Division was not to be a combat organization but a replacement outfit. That the 126th Infantry, instead of following its brave Colonel into battle and gaining laurels for him and the Regiment, was doomed to stay right in St. Nazaire and for the time being at least act as stevedores, etc. We were told that later, perhaps upon arrival of more laboring troops from the U. S. we would be broken up as an organization and the officers and men re-assigned to combat divisions needing replacements. That gave some hope of getting into action, as individuals, but not any for the outfit of which we were so proud. It was or rather should have been a death blow to the spirits of the Regiment, but here its training came to the front. The Regiment lost none of its discipline or spirit, but instead tried to do its best, and that it did, is testified by the letters of commendation received by Colonel Westnedge from the commanding General of the Port and.the Commanding Officers of the works under way there, testifying that the 126th Infantry was the best disciplined outfit with which they had had anything to do, that it did the most work of any organization which had ever worked at St. Nazaire. These letters are a matter of record in the files of the Regiment which were turned in to the War Department. The Regiment unloaded ships, loaded trains, worked in the warehouses, graded areas for R. R. yards, laid tracks and every other kind of hard labor that it was possible to find. The showing made here by the enlisted men was all to their credit and too much praise cannot be given them for the noble way in which they performed every task to which they were set. After about six weeks of this work the most pleasant news that it was possible to receive at that time came over the wires. It stated that General Haan had succeeded in his efforts to have the Division rated as a combat organization and that we would leave immediately for the 10th Training Area with Regiment Headquarters at Champlitte. Within 60 hours the Regiment was entrained and on 1ts way. Now at last we were to have the chance to show what we could do. For weeks we had been reading of the Spring Drive of the Germans and we felt that it would not be long before we would have a part in trying to stop their determined onslaught. This, after the menial work we had been doing, was a most gratifying hope. For four weeks at and in the vicinity of Champlitte the Regiment trained intensively. For this purpose we had French officers and officers of the 1st and 2nd Divisions attached to us to teach the new things whikh had come up since our training in the States. Early in May our training was completed and all that was necessary was a little trench experience. For this purpose the Belfort Sector was selected and May 18th found us in the trenches of Alsace, the first troops on German soil. This Sector had long been considered "quiet" by the French. They pretended to do no fighting and the two lines merely watched one another. Shortly after our taking 327 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY over this Sector things began to brighten up a bit, due to the efforts on our part. We pulled off a few raids and always had a few scouting parties out. The 126th here lost several men from enemy fire and holds the distinction of losing the first man on German soil. The very day the 3rd Division first stopped the enemy at the Marne, July 18, was the day the 126th completed its tour of trench duty and was relieved so that it might be used in the real fighting to the north. After train rides, hikes, and a trip by cannon the Regiment on July 28 found itself directly in the rear of the line north of the Marne, and on July 30th relieved elements of the 109th and 110th Infantries in the vicinity of Courmont. On the 31st an advance was made to straighten the line and on August 1st the Regiment attacked the heights across the Ourcq River. These heights were taken at considerable loss, but the enemy was kept on the move until he had been forced back 19 kilometers and taken a stand on the heights to the north of the Vesle. The enemy had all the best -of position and inflicted severe losses. During this action of eight days the Division was opposed by three German Divisions, including one of the crack Prussian Guards. Our burial squads buried more dead Germans than the total of the 32nd killed and missing. I have not the figures of the losses of the 126th Infantry at hand, but I do have the casualties of the Division. The four infantry regiments suffered practically all of these losses, as follows: Killed, 27 officers and 645 men; severely wounded, 58 officers and 1,079 men; slightly wounded, 82 officers and 91 men; gassed, 21 officers and 597 men; missing, 46 men; died of wounds, 12 officers, and 83 men; a total loss from all causes, 3,547., The 1st Battalion, the last unit of the regiment to be relieved, was relieved by units of the 28th Division on the night of August 7-8 and the Regiment withdrew to about 10 kilometers from the lines for a rest. Heiney had too many planes, which were forever trying to get us with bombs. But then one had a Chance to eat a bit, which had nearly become a lost habit in the ten days of chasing the Hun. After two weeks of this so-called rest, if such a thing were possible on a battle field, we were ordered to entrain in cannons for a ride to another front, and on August 28th entered the front line northeast of Soissons as a part of General Mangin's 10th Army. The 126th, after an all night hike, took its position at 5 o'clock a. m., relieving a Regiment of "Blue Devils." It might be well to state that the Division of French "Blue Devils" relieved by the 32nd had tried in three attempts to advance, but the Hun had actually forced them back until the sector relieved by the 32nd Division was in the shape of a bow or semi-circle back into the allied line. The 126th position was in the center of this bow and after the all night hike the regiment went over in the morning at 7 o'clock and straightened out that bow without the help of artillery. It was a daring piece of work and was admirably executed. The advance continued and when relieved by the 2nd Moroccan Division on September 2, the 32nd Division had advanced to a depth of 5V2 kilometers and captured the town of Juvigny. It was here the Division won its name of "Les Terribles." During this action of five days the Division suffered the following losses: Killed, 15 officers and 335 men; severely wounded, 20 officers and 616 men; slightly wounded, 52 officers and 1,246 men; gassed, 9 officers and 565 men; missing, 34 men; died of wounds, 6 officers and 106 men; total losses from all causes of 2,848. In capturing the strong German positions on the Juvigny plateau, the 32nd Division contributed to an important extent to the success of the French in outflanking the German line on the Chemin les Dames. After the relief from the line here the Regiment was ordered back for a rest, and the days from September 10 to September 20 were spent at Joinville, France, out of the battle area. This was the only real rest the Regiment received from May to November; the balance of the time it was under fire. On September 20 the Regiment enbussed at Joinville for the.Argonne-Meuse front. After being carried as far as trucks could go and then hiking, the Regiment entered the front line on September 30 before the Kriemhilde Stellung near Romagne-sons-Montfancon. In a series of desperate attacks during the next three weeks the Division succeeded in completely breaking the German line and penetrating the enemy position to a depth of 8' kilometers. For 20 consecutive days the Division remained in the front line, continually fighting, and the 126th during all of this time was either in the front or support lines. It-is a record for endurance that can be equaled by very few outfits. The key point to the whole Kriemhilde Stellung was the Gote' Dann Marie, which hill was directly to the front of the sector occupied by the 126th. Officers and men from this regiment in a daring daylight attack succeeded in taking this formidable position, and it was then the Division, headed by the 126th, first penetrated this strongly.fo~rtified line of resistance. 328 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY During these 20 consecutive days of fighting the Division was opposed by 11 German Divisions, including the 5th Prussian Guards, the 3rd Prussian Guards, and the 28th Division, known as the "Kaiser's Own." During this long period in the line the sector on our right was occupied by the 79th, 3rd and 5th U. S. Divisions and the sector on our left by the 91st, 1st and 42nd Divisions. The 32nd Division losses during this action were as follows: Killed, 39 officers and 860 men; severely wounded, 32 officers and 1,176 men; slightly wounded, 83 officers and 2,784 men; gassed, 17 officers and 53 men; missing, 9 officers and 140 men; died of wounds, 10. officers and 200 men; total loss from all causes,'5,950. The Regiment was moved back to the Bois de Montfancon on October 21 for a period in which to reorganize and rest up. The woods at this time was a sea of mud and under shell fire from the east of the Nunse. It is doubtful if anyone received any rest, but owing to a lack of troops it was not possible to move us back to a real rest area. About the 1st of November we again moved up and took a reserve position near Aincreville. It was here on November 7 that Colonel Westnedge left us to go to the hospital. For several days the doctor and other officers had been urging him to go back but he had steadily refused. He had tonsilitis, which developed into quinsy, and at last he was made to see that he was in a serious condition. This was the last sight any of us at headquarters had of our beloved Colonel and it was some six weeks after his death before we learned of it. On the afternoon of the same day on which the Colonel left us, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Meyer, the Regiment crossed the Meuse River at Dun-sur-Meuse and entered the Dun-surMeuse bridgehead, where we were in support position on November 11 when the Armistice was signed. The total Division losses during this period of five days, from all causes, was 687 men. During our eight months in France we had spent six months under fire with but 10 days in a rest area. The Regiment had fought on five fronts, in three major offensives-Aisne-Marne, Oise-Aisne, and Meuse-Argonne. The Division had losses of 14,000 men killed, wounded and missing in action; had captured 2,000 rifles, 200 machine guns, 100 pieces of artillery, and thousands of rounds of ammunition of all kinds; had gained 380 kilometers in four attacks and repulsed without loss of ground, every counter attack of the enemy; were the first American troops to set foot on German soil in Alsace; captured Fismes in Aisne-Marne offensive; fought as the only American unit in General Mangin's famous 10th French Army in Oise-Aisne offensive; twice in the line of Argonne-Meuse offensive, fighting continuously for 20 days and penetrating the Kreimhilde Stellung; in action when the Armistice was signed. On November 17, as a part of the 3rd Army, the Division started its march to Germany. After crossing the Sauer River into German territory on December 1, 1918. On December 13 the Division crossed the Rhine River after marching 300 kilometers in winter weather. It was a hike such as would try the strongest heart. It is an actual fact that it was sheer American grit that carried the average soldier through it. Many a man tramped along with his bare feet leaving blood-stains on the snow. The Army did all in its power to keep up with supplies, but at times it simply could not be done. The 126th Infantry entered the front line of the Coblenz bridge-head and held it until relieved by the 125th Infantry, which Regiment held it until the Division was relieved to return to the States. The troops of the Division held the center sector between the 1st Division on the right and the 2nd Division on the left. It is significant that the 32nd was the only former National Guard Division to cross the Rhine, and it was an honor which the Regiment fully appreciated. Upon leaving the bridge-head and arriving in Brest early in April, 1919, the Regiment was practically broken up. Many officers and men elected to stay in France, and such as did remain with the organization did not come home with it. It was early in June before the last arrivals in the States were mustered out of service. Such is the brief history of the 126th Infantry. To write a complete and detailed history would take months and could not be done without the aid of material which was prepared for that purpose during our stay in Germany. Both the history of the Division and the Regiment are being prepared for publication. 329 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY TRIBUTE TO COLONEL JOSEPH B. WESTNEDGE By Father Patrick R. Dunigan, Chaplain 126th Regiment, 32nd Division "I cannot read and I cannot write, Though I strive the livelong day, For a voice is calling, calling low Your soldier has passed away. He of the strong and tender soul, He of the helping hand, Has sailed away with the boatman pale, To a fairer, brighter land. Over thorns in the path of roses rare, He has passed to the God of might, Who has greeted him with a father's love, And placed him at his right." Colonel Joseph B. Westnedge, 126th Infantry, one of the very few National Guard Colonels to command his own Regiment until the last, was dead! His comrades wept as men do who have known too much of the tragedy of war, wept silently. He had been sick during the final days of the decisive battle and officers who knew him longest watched his strength break; felt the pain as he staggered from weakness. The Regimental Surgeon had urged him to go back for rest and treatment. In the stress of battle "Carry on" to the last ounce of endurance was the order. The Colonel who had never used the privileges of his rank, remained with his men. On foot, on the field, in the fight, he shared the privations and dangers of the enlisted men. When blankets were scarce he slept cold, when food was difficult to get he ate last and least. He knew the enemy position by personal observation before ordering an advance. "Where's your Colonel?" asked a general officer inspecting the line one dark day in the Argonne. "Up ahead." "Where's his headquarters?" "Up ahead," repeated the soldier. Always ahead where the cutting edge of the 32nd Division bit deepest into the enemy resistance he led the attack. Corrected field reports on the authority of Major General Haan credit the 126th Infantry with breaking the last desperately defended enemy line. "Colonel Joe," the knightly leader, who had written the fame of his Regiment bright across the page of his country's history, was denied a grave among the battle dead of his own Regiment, strangers' hands had laid him tenderly to rest at Nantes arid the bleeding heart of his Regiment mourned as children mourn. The giant, generous chief whom rank and success could not spoil, whose service was unselfish without envy, simple as a child, lives in the hearts of his men. After Alsace, Chateau-Thierry, and the Ourcq he led his Regiment to the Vesle River, then to the victory at Juvigny, where our graves are most numerous, through the long awful Argonne until, believing that we had been relieved for the last time, he went back to rest. The Armistice would conclude hostilities in a day or two, now his work might be delegated to another. We had grown.so accustomed to his remarkable endurance, to his unselfish disregard of personal comfort and safety, that no one considered his condition serious. To have found his body among the battle dead of his Regiment would have caused no surprise. We remembered with pride that he had been ordered to take greater care of his life; said General Haan "We cannot spare you." He smiled in answer and forgot about it. This is perhaps the only order he ever disregarded. His was the soul of a fighting leader. Senior officers, including John J. Pershing himself, have written their sympathy and apprecia*tion; his Country sent the Distinguished Service Cross; France has enrolled him among her heroes and sent the Cross of War to his widow. French mothers have planted roses that twinle about the cross that marks his grave, his grave in that land of splendid romance and chivalry. "Up to I-eaven's doorway floats a delicate cloud of bugle notes 'Peace to you'-your soul shall be where heroes are-your memory shine as a morning star, brave and dear-shield us here-Farewell." 330 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY CHART OF THE FORTY-TWO DIVISIONS THAT SERVED IN FRANCE Divi-.ý Sion 1st I 26th 42nd 41st 32nd 3rd 77th 5th 27th 35th, 82nd. 4th 28th 30th 33rd s0t~i 78th 83rd 92nd 89th 90th 37th 29th 91st 76th 79th 6th 36th 85th 7th 81st 88th, 40th 39th 87th 66th 84th 34th 38th 31st 8th Jul lAug Sep Oat lWov TanFebjMarjAprjlUWjJunjJul 1,&ugISep 100t I t I I I t I I f r r I I I I I I I I f VZUMEZU-4 pop V/// Ju A Sep o0eY D I anB'obja~r prM a7 jun V1g LuoSep I From Tho War with Germany-,A '~' ~ to z~rial atistiar Sutmniry.'.' by Col.

The War Record of our A. E. F. Divisions is clearly shown in the accompanying chart from "The War with Germany: A Statistical Summary," by Col. Leonard P. Ayres, General Staff, U. S. A. The forty-two divisions which reached France before the Armistice are arranged in order of their arrival in France. At a glance, one can read and compare their dates of organization, length of training in America, the date of their sailing, length of training in France, date they entered the line and the length of time they spent in the lines, both in quiet sectors and in active sectors, until-the signing of the Armistice, November 11, 1918. This gives us these averages for America's 1,400,000 men who actually went into the battle line-training in America, six months; training in France, two months; service in quiet sector before entering battle, one month. The terms-Regular Army, National Guard, and National Army Divisions-cannot be construed too literally, for there was a stratum of drafted, or National Army men in every division. Replacements sent in to fill out a division depleted in battle were of all three classes. Most National Guard Divisions were one-third drafted men and two-thirds state troops. Drafted men made up almost onehalf the strength of the 30th, 31st, 33rd, 39th, 40th and 41st National Guard Divisions. The divisions which were most completely recruited to full strength were the 26th (New England N. G.), 27th (New York N. G.), 28th (Pennsylvania N. G.), 29th (The Guards of Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and the District of Columbia), 42nd (N. G. units from 26 states, hence its name, "Rainbow Division"). The First and Second Divisions were organized in France and received all their training overseas. These with the 26th, 42nd and 41st were the only divisions to reach France during 1917. (See accompanying chart.) Thus excepting these, the average period of training for the individual soldier is eleven months. The "Fighting First," which was hurried overseas in our third month of the war, and our grand old Second Division, with its two regiments of Marines, were composed largely at that time of our best trained old-time Regular outfits. There was a large sprinkling of our young America which had hastened to the colors at the first call. Many of these youngsters grew several years older overnight so they might wear the uniform. Yet it is said that not one man in four of the old-timers who were in the Regular establishment before the war ever saw duty in France. To these men and to those others who hurriedly offered themselves in their country's need, only to be sent to guard duty along the Mexican Border, or to an army post in the west, it will never cease to be a rancoring thought that the battles were fought without them. These divisions, with the 26th and 42nd, were at the front almost before any other divisions had crossed the sea. HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY There were several divisions which on arrival in France became Replacement or Depot Divisions (41st, 76th, 83rd, 84th, 85th and others). These divisions did not enter battle as a unit, but large parts of their men entered battle as replacements in other divisions. In many cases whole organizations from these divisions were detached to serve in the lines as Corps and Army troops, under the direct command of the Corps or Army commander. (See story of the 85th Division.) OUR MOST FAMOUS DIVISIONS FIRST DIVISION-Organized, Summer of 1917, in France.

EVA MAY WESTNEDGE 340 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY EDITORIAL PAGE That the record of Kalamazoo County in the World War might be set down for future generations; that the work of Kalamazoo County's fighting men might be memoralized; that the work of every liberty-loving citizen of the county might be written into a permanent form, available to all, was the purpose with which the preparation of this Honor Roll was undertaken. When the task of compiling this history was begun it was hoped that the general public would co-operate sufficiently by sending in the records and pictures of those who had done distinctive work during the war to complete the work quickly. H-owever, it was soon found necessary to personally canvass to secure pictures and data and in consequence so much time was consumed in getting the material ready that publication was delayed, and it has taken instead of a few months, as at first hoped, about a year and a half to finish the work. The editor wishes here to thank all those who did co-operate by bringing in pictures and data; the newspapers of the county for notices, and the moving pictures for carrying slides urging quick response to the call for material. If there are errors or omissions in the records it is believed they will be overlooked with the knowledge that the task has been difficult. The data was gathered from a variety of sources and in many cases even those most closely related to the soldiers were unable to furnish accurate information. In many cases no pictures were available and in some instances there was a reluctance in having them appear in the history. Many had only snap shots which accounts for some of the cuts not being as good as others. The editor wishes again to thank all those who have in any way contributed to give this work whatever of value it possesses, and especially does she thank the following members of her staff, who worked faithfully to secure and prepare the material for the book: Kenneth MI. Payne, C. Louise Anderson,Mrs. Howard P. Hall, Dr. Ella A. Knapp, Myrtle Hill, Salena C. Cooper, Gertrude Walkinhood, George Sawyer Clark and Orton Horace Clark, Jr. CLUBS OF COUNTY During the years of the war there was scarcely an organization, no matter for what purpose it justified its existence during times of peace, but laid aside its regular program and entered into the business of winning the war. Men's and women's, boys' and girls' clubs throughout the county took an active part in all war work, raising money for the purchase of Liberty Bonds, War Savings and Thrift Stamps besides giving generously of their time and money to the Red Cross, and all other war activities. It has proved impossible to secure a detailed report from all such clubs, but in the stories of many of the war organizations in this history a number of them have received honorable mention, notably the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs. It would be hard indeed to properly estimate the part these clubs played in winning the war for like the many fraternal, church and school societies, they always stood ready to push through the particular piece of work which the government or war organizations were calling upon the citizens to back. From the memberships of nearly all such societies in the county men and women went forth into the active service of the country. THE FARMERS OF THE COUNTY Had not the farmers and their families worked so untiringly throughout the years of the war to produce food in sufficient quantities to provide for the people at home, the soldiers overseas, and the suffering peoples of Europe, the war could not have come to so speedy and victorious an end. 341 HONOR ROLL OF KALAMAZOO COUNTY EDITORIAL PAGE NEWSPAPERS OF COUNTY The editors of a freedom-loving people are among that people's most influential citizens. They mold public opinion. The nations at war found that the press, for military reasons, must be carefully supervised. Immediately upon our entry into the war, President Wilson appointed George Creel at the head of the Committee on Public Information. The drastic measures which they took in their determination to control opinion made them often very unpopular, but now that the war is over and a complete story of their world-wide activities has come forth, we realize they played a tremendous part in the winning of the war. During the war the editors were called upon for numerous and varied contributions to our government. The calls for men and money, the need for food and fuel conservation, the building of morale for a victory, all reached the people through the editors. For the editors wield that mighty instrument, The Press. The editors gave nobly to the winning of the war. Much of their space was gratuitous. They refrained from printing the news which the government had censored. The discretion used by the editors of Kalamazoo County in the conduct of their papers during those troublous times will always be remembered by a grateful public. MOTION PICTURE HOUSES OF COUNTY The same feeling of gratitude is extended the managers of the Motion Picture houses of the county. The realization of how our country was meeting its great responsibilities was brought home to us all by the moving pictures. Unthinkable feats of engineering "over there" which only under the stress of a great necessity could have been possible were shown. Will those who saw them ever forget the thrill of pride they felt as they looked on the things our nation was accomplishing? The educational films dealing with the many dangers of army and camp life did much to help our boys avoid pitfalls. The great war pictures brought vividly to us the necessity for more and more support from the "home guard." Photography from the beginning played a large part during the years of the war in keeping up the morale of all; the snap shots from home and the moving pictures of the home folks flashed on the screens of the camps in this country and abroad helped keep up the morale of the boys. One might go on ad infinitum, and we are filled with regret that every loyal individual and organization can not be mentioned in this history but the consciousness of work faithfully done must, in many instances be the only reward for splendid service rendered. We conclude by saying that the part Kalamazoo County people took in the greatest struggle in the world's history is all t(. their credit. 342 Armistice German Envoys signed the Allied Armistice terms at Senlis, at 5 A. M., Paris time, which took effect at 11 A. M., Paris time (6 A. M. New York time), November 11, 1918. President Wilson read the terms of the German Armistice to Congress in joint session November 11 and announced the end of the war. "The war thus comes to an end: for, having accepted these terms of Armistice, it will be impossible for the German command to renew it. "It is not now possible to assess the consequences of this,reat consummation. We know only that this tragical war, whose consuming flames swept from one nation to another until all the world was on fire, is at an end and that it was the privilege of our own people to enter it at its most critical juncture in such fashion and in such force as to contribute in a way, of which we are all deeply proud, to the treat result. "We know, too, that the object of the war is attained; the object upon which all free men had set their hearts; and attained with a sweeping completeness, which even now we do not realize."--From address to ConAress on the sininA of the Armistice, November 11, 1918-Woodrow Wilson. 343 -o III-as-an-so-au-an-un 9 u- u un-o -un-o un-u n - tln a un un u r n- a a anu I ln-unI Appreciation The following business men of Kalamazoo County have in lare degree. made possible this Honor Roll.
