f EBB ' 5* : 7/zeySGrved fo keep ttie Introduction THE belief that every citizen of Aurora, Illinois, may well he proud of the glorious record of our city during the World's War and that its achievements deserve to be perpetuated in the years to come, has caused this book to be compiled. Thirty-six hundred men and women, ten per cent of its population, not only answered the call to arms, but performed deeds of valor on land and sea, even to the extent of giving their lives for the preservation of our beloved nation. Aurora men and women took an active part in all branches of the service, from the private and "gob" to the positions of Major General and Rear Admiral, besides being engaged in every line of important work connected with the successful ending of the war. At home, the second line of defense was maintained by such a high degree of patriotism toward the whole nation and loyalty to its warriors on the field that all may point with pride to the fact that every proposition, tending in the slight- est degree to "finish the job" to the satisfaction of the Amer- ican people, was quickly and effectually put "over the top" in record time. The author gratefully acknowledges the valuable assistance rendered by many Aurora citizens in the work of preparing this book. It has been the author's earnest endeavor to compile a complete and correct history of Aurora's part in the war and to omit nothing, but if anything worthy of commendation has been overlooked, it is due to inadvertence and not intention.

Charles Greene, marched out of the Regimental Armory on its first lap of the journey to France. Headed by members of the Grand Army of the Republic and City officials, the Headquarters, Supply, Machine Gun, and D and I companies, composed of 367 of Aurora's sons, marched with anxious step through the crowded streets amid the fare- well cries of thousands and thousands of relatives and friends to the Burlington station to entrain for Camp Logan, Texas [184] Third Infantry Train Twenty thousand people bade adieu to the five companies of the Third Illinois Infantry, when it departed from Aurora at 9'o'clock on the morning of September 13, 1917, for their training camp, Camp Logan, Houston, Texas. Realizing that on the five-day journey into the southland, the boys would have scant fare on the forty cents a day subsistence furnished by the government, Mrs. J. K. Groom by energetic soliciting gathered together and loaded on the train for their use 200 pounds of roast meat, 668 loaves of bread, 30 pounds of butter, 400 rolls, three boxes of crackers, 50 pounds of cheese, 40 cakes, 150 dozen doughnuts, 350 dozen cookies, 12 gallons of pickles, 40 pounds of chocolate, a great quantity of fruits and gum, 200 towels and $25 in money to be used in buying hot coffee, so that the Aurora sol- diers were able to eat in plenty on the long journey. [185] The 129th Welcomed Home Shortly after 3 o'clock in the afternoon of June 2, 1919, as the whistles and bells of the city began to sound in unison throughout Aurora, three great passenger trains loaded down with smiling-faced soldier boys, pulled into the Burlington sta- tion the famous 129th Infantry the boys whom the fighting Australians pro- nounced as "a bit rough" were home, once again in the arms of their relatives and friends after being victors over the cream of the German Army and now ready to lay aside the weapons of war forever. Sixty thousand people from not only Aurora but the whole of the Fox River Valley were here to welcome home this band of prairie warriors and fete them the few hours they were to remain in town before continuing on to Camp Grant for discharge. Marching through the city with the same measured tread and battle equipment with which they marched along the Somme River and through the Argonne to meet the Goliath of Europe a few months before, they were served with luncheon at West Aurora by the same energetic force of Red Cross workers who had for months devoted hours and hours preparing camp and hospital equipment for the thousands in the service. Every man in the regi- ment was served with sandwiches, fruit, pickles, cake and coffee until they could stand no more, when the trains pulled out on its last run to end their war service. [186] On June 10, 1919, upon their discharge from the service and return home, the 129th regiment was banqueted in Sylvandell by the 129th Regiment Home Folks Association of Aurora, Illinois, the following menu being served under the chair- manship of Mrs. J. K. Groom. Fruit Cocktail Saratoga Wafers Roast Beef Roast Chicken with Dressing Brown Potatoes June Peas in Timbals Salad With Thousand Island Dressing Queen Olives Pickled Peaches Radishes Coffee Rolls Ice Cream with Crushed Strawberries Assorted Home Made Cakes Mints Cigars 187] Citations ACCORDING to War Department records, the fighting men and units of the army and navy came from the prairie and farming section known as the Mississippi Valley, in which Aurora is lo- cated. Many of the 3,600 in the service from this town distinguished themselves with their commands but we are only able to obtain the fol- lowing who were among those cited for exceptional work.

The report of your Regimental Commander and of the Commanding General of the 65th Brigade testify to your gallantry and splendid performance of duty at Consenvoye on October 10, 1918." Your conduct on that occasion has afforded me genuine gratification, and I have accordingly directed that your name and action be inscribed on the ROLL OF HONOR of the "PRAIRIE DIVISION/' GEORGE BELL, JR., Major General Commanding 33/v/ Division. 192 ] CHRISTIAN JOY PEOPLES Rear Admiral, Supply Corps, United States Navy; son of Robert A. and Lydia Love Peo- ples; born in Iowa, October 17, 1876; his parents moving to Aurora, the home of their birth; the rear admiral received his early schooling in the Brady School of this city; gradu- ated from school in California and received his appointment to Annapolis Naval Academy after an apprenticeship in the Navy Yard, Mare Island, California, where he won his com- mission in the supply corps in a competitive examination. He has seen service at the Naval Stations, Mare Island, California, and Puget Sound, Wash- ington, and has cruised in Philippine, Japanese and Chinese waters. Ordered to duty in the Navy Department, he established the purchase system of the Supply Department of the Navy; also the Navy standard specification system and the Navy standard system of supplying coal, oil and gasoline for the Fleet. Under the command of Captain William S. Benson, later Chief of Naval Operations, he placed the Utah in commission, cruising for three and a half years irt Atlantic, Caribbean and Mediterranean waters. During this cruise, he served on the staff of Admiral F. F. Fletcher as Commissary Officer during the occupation of Vera Cruz. Again ordered to duty in the Navy Department in August, 1914, as Chief Assistant to Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan, the Chief of the Supply Department of the Navy, which established a record for efficiency during the war, his special duty was the preparation, super- vision and execution of the plans for the supply of the Fleet at home and abroad, with all that related to the purchase, custody, shipment and issue of clothing, provisions, engineering, hull, navigational, ordnance and fuel supplies for the Fleet and for shore stations at home and abroad. He was also identified with the War Industries Board and was the Navy Representative on the Exports Control Committee, whose mission was to connect up the Fleet of cargo vessels with the railroads in the shipment of munitions through the various Atlantic range ports (and to avoid congestion therein) to our Army in France and to our naval forces in the North Sea and in the Mediterranean. In January, 1918, the Secretary of the Navy selected him for the permanent rank of Rear Admiral in the Supply Corps of the Navy the youngest man upon whom that honor has yet been conferred.

NAVY RECRUITING STATION 608 SOUTH DEARBORN STREET CHICAGO, ILL. Mr. J. W. Greenaway, Aurora, Illinois. Sir: As a testimonial to the patriotism and progressiveness of the City of Aurora during the course of the War, this is to certify that to the best of our knowledge the greatest per- centage of recruits for the Navy from the Central Division was obtained from that city. These men were stationed not only at the stations ashore, but also performed duty at sea on vessels where service was most hazardous. Since the War some of these men have remained on active service, while those who returned to civil life have found that their training while in the Naval Service has been of great assistance to them.

[211] ''Gunpowder" Aurora's Pigeon Hero GUNPOWDER," a black check hen homing pigeon, registered as AU-1917-5289, and bred in the loft of Herman Moser, 146 South Spencer Street, Aurora, Illinois, in June, 1917, has been honored by the United States War Department as the bird which car- ried the first message from the American front line trenches back to the American Divisional Headquarters in France. This distinguished honor has been conferred upon "Gunpowder," by official report of Capt. J. L. Carney, which states the message was car- ried March 17, 1918, from a point north of Lionville in the Toul Sector to Major General Clarence Edwards, commanding the 26th division with "GUNPOWDER" "PRETTY BABY" headquarters at Boucq. Five minutes after "Gunpowder" was dispatched with the message, "Pretty Baby," a pigeon bred in New York, was dis- patched with a carbon copy of the message, to insure the delivery of the message in case the first bird was killed in its flight. Both birds were suc- cessful in the delivery of the messages, though "Pretty Baby" was killed later by mistake of an American soldier, believing it to be a German bird. "Gunpowder" continued carrying messages throughout the war, many times through shell and gas battles, and after the armistice, was returned to this country, being now located in Capt. Carney's loft at Pittsburgh, Pa. On October 14, 1917, on orders from the War Department, Herman Moser, Aurora's leading pigeon fancier, shipped twenty homing pigeons to Fort Wood, New York, from where they were transferred to Bedloe's Island for training. Among the twenty birds was the three-month-old [212] "Gunpowder," whose ancestors had established records for flying over 1,000 miles. On Dec. 10, 1917, the birds were shipped to France on the deck of a small vessel, the only protection offered being a tarpaulin with which the four soldiers kept them covered. Landing at St. Nazaire they were shipped to a loft in Paris and on February 22 were transferred to a loft in Corneville in the Toul Sector for final training. On March 17, 1918, Sergeant Swanker was able to supply three trench posts with four birds each for liasion service, from the 4,000 birds at the Corneville loft. On its arrival at the trenches, "Gunpowder" was immediately dispatched to the Divisional Headquarters at Boucq with information. The message was in cipher, enclosed in a small tube attached to the left leg, and as per regulations a duplicate of the message was sent by a second bird five min- FRENCH MOBILE PIGEON LOFT utes after. According to the records of the War Department, the hom- ing pigeons played a most important part in the war, proving the best messengers under battle conditions when it was a difficult task to maintain communications in the army. Not one important message entrusted to the homing pigeons for delivery went astray during the war. These birds, of which there were 1,200 in service in the St. Mihiel and Argonne en- gagements, were transported about France in mobile lofts, each contain- ing 60 birds. Mr. Moser was the only pigeon fancier west of Chicago to furnish birds for service in France and later furnished many birds for stocking the military lofts at Camp Grant, Municipal Pier, Chicago, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Southern Flying Field, Georgia, and the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Wis.

[216] Aurora Chapter, American Red Cross IN MARCH, 1917, a group of public spirited women, with the mem- bers of the "Daughters of the American Revolution," realizing that because of the launching of the terrible submarine warfare by the German naval authorities against this country, with utter disregard of all existing treaties, heretofore made by the German Imperial Government, this country would soon be forced to defend its honor with the allied nations, met and established a Red Cross workroom in the Y. M. C. A. building, with Mrs. J. K. Groom as chairman in direct charge. Enlisting the support of the Aurora Elks Club and other public spirited and patriotic citizens and organizations in the cause, the interest grew in the great work, until by authority of the National Headquarters, the first meeting for organizing the Aurora Chapter of the American Red Cross was held on May 14, 1917. On May 20th, the work of organization was completed with the election of officers, the absorbing of the original work- shop organization and the selection of a working committee, composed of Mrs. Grace Bliss, Mrs. W. S. Frazier, Mrs. Martha Mathewson, Mrs. Charles Stevenson and Miss Louise Aldrich. This working committee was later enlarged by adding Mrs. W. E. Gillette, Mrs. F. J. Knight, Mrs. E. D. Terry, Mrs. Myra Stolp, Mrs Elizabeth Kapferer, Mrs. Alice Crego, Mrs. Esther Chapman, Mrs. Thomas Peaks, Mrs. A. T. Newtson, Miss Lucy Carr, Mrs. Maude Thompson and Mrs. Vincent Hatch. [217] C. S. KILBOURNE CHAIRMAN, AURORA CHAPTER RED CROSS [218] The Aurora Chapter was fully recognized by the National Head- quarters on June 20, 1917, and its territorial jurisdiction comprised Aurora, Sugar Grove, Big Rock, Kaneville, Blackberry and LaFox, in all of which sections branches of the parent organization were soon started. OFFICERS Chairman R. N. Strohn, May 17, 1917, to September 10, 1917; E. F. Schoeber- lein, October, 1917, to January, 1918; C. S. Kilbourne, January, 1918, to the present date.

S. Frazier. Bartelt, Mrs. T. Gibbs. Organized on a much larger scale than before, the Aurora Chapter now secured larger quarters to carry on the work, by obtaining from the Re- ceiver of the Yeomen of America the former headquarters building of that society in Main Street; the campaign committee, under E. F. Schoeberlein, launched a campaign for new members throughout the factories and resi- dence portion of the city, which resulted in enlisting 5000 persons to the cause. The finances consisted of the membership dues, $2000.00 realized on Tag Day, July 4, 1917, together later with monthly pledges from the citizens throughout the city, and benefits given by Church, social, fraternal, card and dancing societies and clubs in all sections of the city. Upon the organization of the Aurora Patriot Fund, the question of finances was taken care of entirely through that fund. In addition to the Board of Directors, Executive Committee and the four branches, the organization consisted of the following committees: 1. Finance. 2. Workshop. (A) Manager. (B) Departments. 1. Surgical Dressings. 2. Hospital Supplies and Garments. 3. Knitting and outfitting men in Service. 4. Stock Room. 5. Packing and Shipping. [219] (C) Departments. 1. Purchasing Committee. 2. Outfitting Women in Service. 3. Comfort Kits. 3. Home Service Department organized January, 1918. (A) Chairman and committee of 7 members. (B) Secretary, a trained social worker. (C) Volunteer investigators. 4. Educational, appointed February, 1918. 5. Junior Red Cross, appointed February, 1918. 6. Canteen, appointed April, 1918. 7. Publicity, consisting of 3 representatives of the daily papers. 8. Nursing activities, appointed January, 1919. Special committees were appointed from time to time as Nursing Sur- vey, Packing and Inspecting Christmas Parcels, Old Clothing Campaign, etc. Among these important ones was an Emergency Committee in the Influenza Epidemic, appointed in 1918, when during the epidemic there was a shortage of nurses and a critical situation in many homes of the city. Trained nurses were brought in from outside, and as many prac- tical nurses secured as were available. A bureau, established to distribute this nursing-service and foods, was prepared in schools and churches and the same were distributed about the city where needed, the entire expenses being borne by the Chapter, except in cases where the family was able and willing to pay. At this time, 40 families consisting of 160 members, were cared for. HOME SERVICE DEPARTMENT The Chairman and Committee of the Home Service Department took care of the work from its inauguration in January, 1918, until October, 1918, when the work, becoming more complex and increasing rapidly, a secretary, who was a trained social worker, was employed. The volun- teer investigators were trained in the Home Service Institute held in Aurora in January, 1918. The department followed the policy outlined for it by the Central Division and has proven a live department, meeting the needs of the soldiers and their families, in the following relief work: Cases, Active 636 Cases, information 167 Disbursed $6,742.00 Appropriated to running expenses of labor bureau 225.00 EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT The Education Committee formed. 3 classes in Home Care of the Sick with 29 pupils. 2 classes in Home Care of the Sick with 80 pupils High School. 1 class in Dietetics with 7 pupils. [220] ALBERT M. SNOOK VICE CHAIRMAN, AURORA CHAPTER RED CROSS In all classes conducted by the Educational Committee doing the reg- ular work and working for a certificate, a fee was charged, the instructor returning the fee due her to the committee, to establish a fund for equip- ment. Three classes for Home Care of the Sick with forty-six pupils were organized before the Educational Committee was appointed, the Chapter giving authority to the Y. W. C. A. to form these classes, which com- plied with Red Cross requirements, the certificates being received from Washington. WORKSHOP The Workshop organization, responsible for the making of all sup- plies, was divided into departments and committees with Mrs. Grace E. Bliss, as general manager over all, with authority from the executive com- mittee to vary her organization, as the needs required. What a wonderful organization this energetic woman and her co- workers perfected in a short time is well known to our citizens, and the work accomplished by them and the units, together with individual work- ers, is best evidenced by the statistics transmitted to the General Head- quarters of the American Red Cross, as follows: Contributed to Second War Fund Drive $33,000.00 1917 Christmas Packets contributed.. 500 [221] MRS.

In addition to this material, the yards of tape, spools of thread and buttons used, can only be estimated by the thousands. For making sweaters, scarfs, mittens, helmets and socks 27,536 hanks of yarn were used and how the good mothers, sisters and other women did knit. Few citizens can realize that in making a sweater for one of the soldier boys in the neighborhood of 22,000 stitches were knitted and two hanks of yarn consumed. OLD CLOTHING DEPARTMENT Refugee Clothing (old) 12,280 pounds WORKING UNITS The work was accomplished by seventy-two units in addition to the individual workers, making a total of about 3200 workers. Instruction in knitting was given as long as there was need, and most of this work was done outside of the central workshop. For making surgical dress- ings, in addition to the central workshop, two permanent workrooms were opened, one of them maintained by the Women's Club, another by Mrs. E. F. Schoeberlein, and several others for shorter periods, all in charge of trained workers and under perfect sanitary conditions. Articles not standard or otherwise acceptable to the Red Cross regulations were sent to the American Fund for French wounded, and distributed at home, or disposed of where the best use could be made of them.

They were always on the job, regardless of their age or size. The work outlined by the Central Division was followed as far as practical under local conditions and permitted by the school authorities. OUTFITTING SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN From October, 1917, every man entering service was entitled to all or part of the following outfit : Comfort Kit, Sweater, wristers, helmet and two pairs of socks, and 1819 men availed themselves of the opportunity to secure the outfits before entraining for camp. A\\i of the 1950 comfort kits used were made complete by the First Presbyterian Unit. Women entering the service were given an outfit of comfort kit, scarf and two pairs of bed socks, while oversea workers were given six addi- tional pairs of stockings, which were made and partially donated by the women of Trinity Church. The Chapter gave each young woman a steamer rug and to overseas workers the sum of $50.00, which she was required to have, if she so chose. [225] This policy coincided with the sentiment of the community and re- sulted in a more hearty and enthusiastic support of the Chapter.

These classes were organized in the branches as well as in Aurora. A free clinic was inaugurated by the Child Welfare Department of the Council of National Defense and the Anti-Tuberculosis Society, prior to the request from Headquarters that Chapters conduct a Public Health Nursing Service. This clinic met with such success that the committee on Nursing Activities decided, after consultation with Miss Ahrens, to give its support to this clinic to the extent of providing funds for employ- ing two nurses which the clinic needed to carry on its work to the best advantage. WORK IN GENERAL In October, 1917, the Red Cross Chapter, through the courtesy of all the Aurora florists, conveyed five large boxes of cut flowers to the Base Hospital at Camp Grant, they being the first flowers sent into the big military hospital after its opening for the care of sick and distressed soldiers. In October, 1918, when the troop train enroute to Chicago was wrecked six miles west of Aurora, the representatives of the local Chapter were among the first on the scene and attended to the bringing of the injured to the Aurora Hospitals for treatment and provided food for the re- mainder of the soldier passengers upon their arrival in Aurora, so that their journey was continued without delay or much discomfort. On June 2nd, 1919, for the reception of the famous 129th Infantry in Aurora, while enroute from the battle fields of France to Camp Grant [226] for demobilizatian, the women, co-operating with the Union League Club, packed 2470 lunch boxes for which 250 home-made cakes were solicited, and served them to the boys before their departure. One June 29th, 1919, 500 soldier boys passing through the city, were served with coffee, sandwiches, cakes, etc. The Chapter on one hour's notice at this time prepared 75 gallons of coffee and 1000 sandwiches. On July 21st, when the Government Transcontinental Convoy passed through the city, its 345 members were served with luncheon, consisting of sandwiches, doughnuts, home-made cake, apple pie, coffee and ice cream. THE CHAPTER CONTRIBUTED TO THE Anti-Tuberculosis Society $1,500.00 Mattoon Relief Committee 50.00 Charleston Relief Committee ' 50.00 The vast amount of work, which has been accomplished by the local Chapter and of which every loyal citizen is justly proud, was accomplished by volunteer workers, with the exception of one stenographer in the Cen- tral Shop, the trained Secretary and one stenographer in the Home Service Department, the nurses employed and the present instructor for the Home Care of the sick classes.

[235] Aurora Navy Aid Association THE Aurora Navy Aid Association, organized July 6, 1917, for the purpose of providing knitted garments, comfort kits and hos- pital garments for the comfort and relief of sailors and soldiers of Aurora and vicinity, was, with its efficient corps of officers and volunteer workers, one of the most valuable auxiliaries in the war work in this vicinity, especially so with the enlisted men in the naval service, where the articles furnished proved of such value as to receive not only the hearty thanks of the men, but commendation from the naval officials.

[ 239 ] HON. FRANK O. LOWDEN ILLINOIS WAR GOVERNOR [240] Governor Frank O. Lowden's Welcome Home Address to the Soldiers and Sailors ^Illinois MEN of Illinois I welcome you home. You entered the service of your country knowing something of the trials, dangers and suffer- ings that were ahead of you. Some of you crossed the sea to meet those dangers in the trenches, on No Man's Land and on the battle fields of Europe. You saw your comrades fall, but you kept on. You saw them borne away on stretchers or in ambulances, never expecting to see them again. But you and many of those who left you wounded and sick have come back. With the men who spent months in camps in the United States and had none of the excitement and dangers of battle, yet, who nevertheless, served their country to the best of their ability, you have come home. You know what that word means now, if you did not know before. Home is Illinois, America, the best country in the world. It has always been worth fighting for. Your comrades now sleeping on foreign battlefields have proven it is worth dying for and you have shown it is worthy the great risks you have taken. Now, men of Illinois, weary of war, longing for home and the quiet pursuits of peace, you have a new task before you. It is the preservation of the liberties for which you risked your all. It is the resumption of peaceful relations. Great problems lie ahead of us and you must aid in their solution. I am sure you will prove equal to that task as thor- oughly as you met the demands of the last two trying years. [241] ADJUTANT GENERAL FRANK S.

With the entrance of the United States into the War on April 6, 1917, the War Department soon realized the inadequacy of the volunteer sys- tem, and the Selective Service Law was promulgated and passed by Con- gress on May 18, 1917, through which law, and its additional amend- ments, 8,696 men, or practically twenty-five per cent of the population of the City of Aurora, became directly affected. On June 5, 1917, in compliance with the National Proclamation, re- quiring all male persons to register who had reached their twenty-first birthday, and who had not reached their thirty-first birthday, the regular city election boards, under the supervision of the Registration Commit- tee, composed of Honorable James E. Harley, Mayor of the City of Aurora, Honorable S. N. Hoover, County Judge of Kane County, and Frank Grommes, City Clerk of Aurora, Illinois, registered 3442 men in the City of Aurora. Following June 5, 1917, at the direction of the Registration Commit- tee, duplicates of the registration cards of each registrant were made by the commercial students of the East High School of Aurora and the St. Nicholas Parochial School. On June 28, 1917, as one of the 4,557 local boards throughout the United States, delegated to carry out the Selective Service Law, the fol- lowing men were appointed by President Woodrow Wilson to form the Local Board for the City of Aurora, Illinois: Captain J. H. Freeman, a Civil War Veteran, Honorable Edward M. Mangan, Judge of the City Court of Aurora, Illinois, and Dr. William P. Sherman. The Board immediately organized and elected the following officers: Chairman, Cap- tain, J. H. Freeman, Clerk, Edward M. Mangan, and Medical Exam- iner, Dr. W. P. Sherman. To assist the Board in its clerical work, J. W. Greenaway, Clerk of the City Court of Aurora, Illinois, was appointed as Chief Clerk, and Miss Mamie Michels, as Assistant Clerk. The Local Board for the City of Aurora was placed within the jurisdiction of Dis- trict Board No. 3, for the Northern Division of Illinois, located at Chi- cago. On June 30, 1917, the original registration cards of the men registered on June 5, 1917, and duplicates thereof, were turned over by the Regis- tration Committee to the Local Board, and the cards were then compared, [249] CAPT. J. H. FREEMAN CHAIRMAN, LOCAL BOARD FOR THE CITY OF AURORA, ILLINOIS [250] certified to, and given serial numbers. On July 20, 1917, after the na- tional drawing at Washington, the order numbers were determined and placed upon the cards, and lists containing the name, address, serial and order numbers, were prepared and given to the public. August 1, 1917, pursuant to the recommendation of the Local Board, Gov. Frank O. Lowden, appointed the following physicians to assist Dr. Sherman in the physical examination of registrants: Dr. C. E. Colwell, Dr. George A. Darmer, Dr. W. L. Murphy, Dr. J. W. MacDonald and Dr. C. W. Geyer, (Dr. Darmer and Dr. Geyer later resigning and serv- ing with distinction with the American Expeditionary Forces in France). Between August 4th and 9th, 1917, the first 1121 registrants were ordered to appear for physical examination, 1043 of whom responded. Of the 1043 reporting, 893 passed the physical examination and ISO were found physically disqualified. Of the 893 who passed the physical examination, 591 were exempted from military duty, on industrial, de- pendency, agricultural and alienage grounds, leaving 302 available for general military service. The causes for rejection in the first thirty per cent of the June 5th, 1917, registrants called for physical examination were as follows: Defective Vision and Eye Troubles. .55 Overweight 1 Blind 1 Hernia 19 One Eye 2 Spinal Troubles 5 Nose Deformed by accident 1 Heart Troubles 3 Defective Teeth 14 Mentally Deficient 5 Defective Hearing 2 Glandular Troubles 2 Small Foot 1 Tuberculosis 6 Short Leg 5 Small Chest 1 One Leg 2 Infantile Paralysis 1 Defective Hip 1 Epilepsy 2 Vericose Veins 2 Fractures 2 Fingers off right hand 4 Appendicitis (effects of) 1 Hand Deformed 1 Undescending Testicle 1 Defective Arms 4 Syphilis 1 Hunchback 1 Underweight 4 150 The first call upon the Local Board for the City of Aurora was for ten men qualified for general military service, to be inducted and entrained for Camp Grant, Illinois, on September 5, 1917. To fill that call, the fol- lowing registrants volunteered and waived their rights of certification and order of call : Edward Artlip Owen Pat. Kavanaugh Earl L. Carpenter Robert N. Wilford William H. Duy John C. Jones Albert F. Damm Floyd Wormley Roy Mathew Dusell F. W. Koehler [251] JUDGE EDWARD M. MANGAN SECRETARY, LOCAL BOARD FOR THE CITY OF AURORA, ILLINOIS [252] To the New Army MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT WILSON TO MEN CALLED TO THE NATION'S COLORS THE WHITE HOUSE Washington, D. C, Sept. 3, 1917 To the Soldiers of the National Army: "VT'OU are undertaking a great duty. The heart of the whole country is with you. Everything that you do will be watched with the deepest interest and with the deepest solicitude not only by those who are near and dear to you, but by the whole nation besides. For this great war draws us all together, makes us all comrades and brothers, as all true Americans felt themselves to be when we first made good our national independence. They eyes of all the world will be upon you, because you are in some special sense the soldiers of freedom. Let it be your pride, therefore, to show all men everywhere not only what good soldiers you are, but also what good men you are, keeping yourselves straight in everything and pure and clean through and through. Let us set for our- selves a standard so high that it will be a glory to live up to it and add a new laurel to the crown of America. My affectionate confidence goes with you in every battle and every test. God keep you and guide you! Woodroiv Wilson. The second contingent of 83 men left Aurora for Camp Grant Septem- ber 22, 1917, and the third contingent, composed of 41 men, left Aurora, October 6, 1917, for the same camp. Pending the call for further contingents, and while the War Depart- ment at Washington was engaged in adopting a more efficient and more complete method of pursuing the Selective Service Law, the War De- partment issued an order permitting all registrants, who were not then within the current quota of their Board, to be released and to voluntarily enlist up to December 10th, 1917, in any branch of the service they de- sired. A great many of the registrants of the Local Board for Aurora took advantage of that order, and the Board was kept busy granting re- leases. ADOPTION OF QUESTIONNAIRE About December 1, 1917, the Local Board received the amendments to the Selective Service Regulations, adopting the questionnaire, the ap- pointment of the Legal and Medical Advisory Boards, the new form of physical examinations, occupational reports, and several other new meth- ods. The purpose of the questionnaire was to classify the man power of this country in its industrial and military importance, in order that the army might be secured as speedily as possible and yet the industry of the nation be preserved, and it was in fact a complete history of every regis- trant, which might be referred to at any time. [253] DR. WILLIAM P. SHERMAN CHIEF MEDICAL EXAMINER AND MEMBER OF THE LOCAL BOARD FOR THE CITY OF AURORA, ILLINOIS [254] To assist the registrants in preserving their rights in filling out the questionnaires, thereby aiding the Board in its work of classification, the Legal Advisory Board, consisting of Honoarble S. N. Hoover, E. L. Lyon and Olney C. Allen, was appointed by the Governor of Illinois. Of equal assistance to the Board, as well as to the Government and the regis- trants, in looking after the rights of each, was Ralph C. Putnam, Govern- ment Appeal Agent. Between December 15, 1917, and January 9, 1918, a questionnaire was mailed to every registrant, except the 130 who had already been in- ducted and accepted at Camp Grant. Through the courtesy of the City Council of Aurora, the Council Chamber was suitably so arranged that the Legal Advisory Board might conveniently and expeditiously aid the registrants in filling out their questionnaires. The Legal Advisory Board was greatly enlarged by the volunteer workers, comprising the legal pro- fession of the city and many able laymen and women. The thoroughness of the Classification System can perhaps best be described by figures, and the following report shows the result of the first registration. Class One (qualified for Military Service, including- 45 de- linquents and deserters, not apprehended) 918 Class Two 367 Class Three 100 Class Four 1049 Class Five (including 222 Class One men found physically deficient, and 370 men placed in this class because of vol- untary enlistment since June 5, 1917) 1034 Cancellation on account of death and over-age 13 Immediately upon the classification, a physical examination of all Class One registrants was made, including those who had been examined under the Original Selective Service Regulations, and who had not been inducted into the service, to which call 1095 men responded. MEDICAL ADVISORY BOARD No. 4 Following the amendments to the Selective Service Regulations, Medi- cal Advisory Boards were appointed for the purpose of re-examining reg- istrants who were either referred to them by Local Boards or registrants who appealed from the findings of the Local Board examiners. Medical Advisory Board No. 4 exercised jurisdiction over the territory embraced in DuPage, Kane, Kendall and DeKalb Counties and their examinations totaled 1234 registrants. The Aurora City Hospital was designated by the U. S. War Depart- ment as the headquarters of the Board and its meetings were usually held on Wednesday of each week with other meetings when necessity required. The Board was organized Jan. 3, 1918, with the following members : Dr. H. A. Brennecke Chairman Dr. W. L. Murphy Secretary [255] J. W. GREEXAWAY CHIEF CLERK, LOCAL BOARD FOR THE CITY OF AURORA, ILLINOIS [256] INTERNISTS Dr. Robert A. Windett Aurora Dr. Richard B. Olson Lombard Dr. Francis J. Coughlin Aurora Dr. James S.

H. Franz. Dr. A. H. McLaughlin. Dr. C. H. Cutter. Dr. E. W. Stubbs. In accordance with the change in the standard of physical examinations, a registrant might be found qualified for general military service, qualified for special or limited service, qualified for remedial service, or physically disqualified for military service. [257] MISS MAMIE MICHELS ASSISTANT CLERK, LOCAL BOARD FOR THE CITY OF AURORA, ILLINOIS [258] Calls for selected men were made upon the Local Board up until June, 1918, when the number of available men was becoming so exhausted throughout the country that a second registration was deemed necessary by the War Department order. SECOND REGISTRATION On June 5, 1918, all male persons who had reached their twenty-first year since June 5, 1917, were required to register, and on August 24, 1918, all male persons who had reached their twenty-first birthday since June 5, 1918, were required to register. The total registration on those two dates in the City of Aurora was 301. They were immediately classified, and the results of that classification are as follows : Class One (including 1 deserter, who was afterwards apprehended) 142 Class Two 23 Class Three 12 Class Four 14 Class Five (including 35 original Class One men who were found physically deficient and 58 who were placed in this class because of voluntary enlistment since June 5, 1918) 110 "WORK OR FIGHT" During the summer of 1918, the "Work or Fight" order was promul- gated by the War Department. In pursuance of that order, the Legal Advisory Board prepared a form of questionnaire, which they sent to 750 employers of labor in the city. Upon an examination of those question- naires, fifteen registrants were found by the Board to be engaged in non- essential occupation, but who, on the request of the Board, found employ- ment which was essential to the successful carrying on of the War. The small number of registrants found to be engaged in non-essential work was due to the fact that when the "Work or Fight" order was originated many sought essential employment of their own accord. LAST REGISTRATION Anticipating the great need of men for the successful termination of the War of 1919, and realizing that the available Class One men were rapidly becoming exhausted, the War Department issued a proclamation, requir- ing all male persons, who had reached the age of eighteen years and who had not reached the age of 46 years, to register on September 12, 1918. In pursuance of that proclamation, there were registered in the City of Aurora 4915 men. The usual procedure as to duplication of cards, lists, serial and order numbers, was carried out, and questionnaires were mailed to the registrants according to the following division of ages: 2202 to registrants between the ages of 19 and 36, (Inc.) 249 to registrants 18 years of age. 2464 to registrants between the ages of 37 and 45 (Inc.)

By taking advantage of this course, a boy might pursue his college train- ing, and in addition he would receive free tuition, board and uniform, also the regular soldier's salary. This Board had 83 of its registrants enrolled in the Students' Army Training Corps.

Cbgar [304] Knights of Columbus THE work of the Knights of Columbus of Aurora during the war covers a diversified field. In every war activity, both military and civil, the Knights did a noble part. At the time the World's War was declared, April 6, 1917, the Knights of Columbus of Aurora met the situation and began planning along various lines, ways and means in the interest of our country. First by encourage- ment and full co-operation in every enterprise launched by the Govern- ment. Secondly, the encouragement of enlistments in the Army and Navy. One man in every four went into the armed service. What they did, the story of the Albert sector, of St. Mihiel, of Bellou Woods, of Chateau Thierry, of the Argonne Forest and of the Meuse and Somme, and in the sea watchers tells, for there was scarcely a division of the great American Expeditionary Force but counted a Knight of Columbus from Aurora in its roster. The one man in four of our Aurora brothers who went away gave good account of himself. What of the three who could not go? Aurora's response to the first call for funds, made by the supreme directors, the $2 per capita assessment, which at that time seemed so great, was such as to give us high place, for the state over-paid the tax, raising a total of $90,276.00 according to a report made by Supreme Secretary McGinley to then State Deputy LeRoy Hackett, November 27, 1917. After that time belated returns from the assessment increased the total. In the second Knights of Columbus War Fund call, which resulted in the first public drive for funds in December, 1917, Aurora raised $17,000.00, over-subscribing the $10,000.00 quota assigned. In the third call, in which the people of Aurora were asked to pledge the amount of one-half hour's pay per week, the members of Aurora Council, K. of C., worked zealously upon the different committees and teams and assisted greatly in the raising of $350,000 to be known as the Aurora Patriot's Fund. Aurora Council, K. of C., were represented upon the Committee of Fifteen of the Aurora Patriot's Fund by two of her members, who gave their time gladly to assist the people of Aurora in furthering the great cause of democracy. The members of Aurora Council, Knights of Columbus, assisted not only in the war work at home but also in many ways throughout the entire United States and also abroad. A well-known gentleman of New York, Mr. James Byrne, in a public address delivered not very long ago, referred to the growth of the Knights of Columbus in war work as being one of the most surprising phenomena [ 305 ] of the war. He declared that the Knights of Columbus had reached, within a few months, a degree of effectiveness that would ordinarily have taken twenty-five years to realize. This declaration is literally true. The war provided the opportunity to test the strength of the Order, to find out whether this organization, founded on a wise constitution, would be worthy of its prosperity by rising to do great things for the national cause. In the manifold duties that faced every citizen during the crisis, there would have been valid excuse for the plea that their full energies were being util- ized, that they ought not to be expected to give extra effort furthering the aims of the war organization which the Knights added to the already ela- borate machinery working towards the common end the winning of the war. The fact that, from coast to coast, from the Canadian to the Mexican border, the American Knights responded, as their Canadian brothers had done, to the call for a new and separate aid in addition to the effort which each man was putting forth, attested the Order's strength and confidence in the administration responsible for its affairs. Upon this foundation of sound laws conscientiously administered the Knights were assured success in their undertaking so long as their merits were recognized by the public and their coffers replenished as need arose. From the most modest be- ginnings the organization progressed from one point to another, from camp to camp, until the entire ground was covered. The work of the Knights of Columbus at the front was of the very marrow of the war because it held much of what was best in the war, self-sacrifice and brotherly love. t 306 ] Boy Scouts of America *_ IN ALL the war activities of Aurora, organized boyhood, through the Boy Scouts of America, was privileged to have a definite part, and fulfilled every opportunity for service. Under the leadership of Walter M. K. Kiplinger, Scout Executive of Aurora, and the splendid group of volunteer workers who served as Scoutmasters, Aurora's Boy Scout organization made an enviable record in every service it was called upon to perform, and local officials have testified to their appreciation, not alone as to the actual services rendered by the Boy Scouts, but to the spirit and effectiveness of that service. SOME OF AURORA'S BOY SCOUTS The following is a brief summary of the Boy Scout achievements in Aurora : In four Liberty Loan campaigns, they sold 2500 subscriptions, amount- ing to $267,490.00, during the final weeks of each loan drive, after reg- ular soliciting organizations had thoroughly canvassed the city. Sold $60,000 worth of 1918 War Savings Stamps. Located 300,000 feet of standing black walnut in Kane County for the War Department. Collected many barrels of fruit pits and nut shells for gas masks. Planted and cultivated war gardens. Distributed 250,000 pieces of U. S. Government literature. [ 307 ] Rendered invaluable services to the Red Cross, the United War Work Committee and other National organizations serving the Government. Assisted the Food and Fuel Administrations in many ways. Co-oper- ated in the American Library Association drive for books for the army and navy. Instrumental in campaign which established Aurora's War Chest by distributing 10,000 information booklets, one to every home in Aurora. Performed countless acts of service to the Government, not recorded under any special classification. Practically every Patriotic poster exhibited in Aurora windows was distributed by the Boy Scouts. They served as ushers, aides and orderlies at practically every patriotic meeting held in Aurora during the war period. Many former Scouts and Scoutmasters served with the colors. They presented a united front of patriotic zeal which in itself was of incalculable value to the city and country. Aurora has 22 troops of Boy Scouts with a total membership of 450 of the brightest young chaps in Illinois. The winners of the 272 honorary medals and bars offered for exceptional work by the United States Treas- ury Department for the sale of Liberty Bonds were : Anderson, Oliver Bemis, Mark Boyd, Orby Biever, Carl Burkel, Howard Bowers, Levi Berve, Walter Bennett, Robert Bigler, Robert Braun, Ralph Carr, Warren Crosby, Alvah Curtis, Paul Dannewitz, Harold Doring, Francis Diamond, Stanley David, Burdette Dano, Charles Doane, James Dodge, Richard Davis, Curtis Dano, Ira Ettinger, Howard Ettinger, Royal Ekstrand, Arthur Frazier, Lincoln Foulke, Kenneth Finell, H.

In the five Liberty Loans, the record established by this city was in- deed magnificent and was accomplished only because of its united and de- termined people assisting in every way possible one of the best campaign organizations this city could gather together. Aurora's quota for the five loans was placed at $6,313,743.00, but, as a result of the campaigns carried on here, the total amount raised reached $8,269,060.00, an over- subscription of $1,955,317.00, or 30 per cent. In May, shortly after the declaration of war, came the call for the first loan, Aurora's quota being $750,000.00, and as in most cities of the country, the organization was then only in its infancy, but, nevertheless, with the few workers, enlisted, $890,000.00, which was reported to the authorities as this city's contribution at the close of the campaign, June 15, 1917. When the second loan was launched in September, 1917, Aurora's Liberty Loan organization was fully organized and worked with in- creased enthusiasm as each succeeding loan campaign was inaugurated. Equally important in the loan drives, with the executives in charge of the campaigns, was the great work accomplished by the Aurora "Ad" Club, nearly the entire membership composing a committee under the chairman- ship of Edward Waegner and which had full control of the many adver- tising features in each campaign. This committee had all the features used throughout the country and many more which were original. They solicited the advertising space, engineered the posting of bills, and, in fact, placed the liberty loan pro- positions up to the people as was never before accomplished in this vicin- ity on any project. Boy Scouts carried millions of bills and posters to stores and homes; Four-Minute men spoke at all performances in the local theaters; clergy- men preached bond buying from the pulpits; teachers in all the schools urged the students to save and buy bonds; bond buying was talked every- where and at all hours of the day and night with the result, Aurora went over the top in every instance. The Liberty Loan organization in Aurora Township was in charge of the following executives: W. W. Armstrong, Chairman of Liberty Loans in Kane County. Wm. George, Chairman of Kane County Bankers Committee. [ 309 ] W. W. ARMSTRONG COUNTY CHAIRMAN OF THE FIVE LIBERT-S- LOAN CAMPAIGNS [310] F. J. Knight, Chairman of First and Second Campaigns in Aurora.

This campaign organization, together with the most energetic and able assistance from every organization and person from every walk of life, all determined not only to back the "boys" to the best of their ability but to see that every other person in the community did the same, proved its worth by oversubscribing every loan launched. A summary of the five Liberty Loans in Aurora is as follows: FIRST LIBERTY LOAN Started May 10, 1917; ended June 15, 1917. Bond issue was for $2,000,000,000.00. .[311] D. W.

The local jurisdiction extended over the territory bounded by Geneva, Waterman, Mendota, Plainfield, Naperville and Wheaton, while its im- mediate duties were to investigate and report to different department heads all matters directed to their attention and with the utmost dis- patch. This corps of volunteers, among other things, investigated all sup- posed pro-Germans, anti-Americans, looked up reported delinquents from Local Exemption Boards, blind pigs and numerous other governmental subjects. On the call from the government for photos and views of Germany and Belgium, to be used in the aviation department of the U. S. Army, engaged in bombing parties, the local league operatives were able to se- cure a great collection for the government, one of which, composed of over 600 pictures and maps, was pronounced the best collection obtained by the government. These pictures, together with a large collection of field glasses, obtained from residents of Aurora, proved a great assist- ance to the army and navy forces of the United States. Every applicant for passports for Y. M. C. A., K. of C. or Red Cross workers was carefully investigated by this body, dozens of supposed slackers were delivered to the authorities, besides the handling of 335 major cases of investigation from the Department of Justice. As a result of their labors, four men were interned by the Govern- ment. Co-operating with them were the police in the entire territory, and great assistance was given the corps by Chief Charles McCarty and his police department and Thomas Smith, Deputy U. S. Marshal, so that with this most efficient organization every case brought to its attention was quickly investigated and reported with dispatch to the government officials for appropriate action. [326] Aurora Division of the State Council of Defense *y ORGANIZED on October 9, 1917, for the purpose of assisting the State Council of Defense in its labors in this vicinity, the Aurora Division, composed of nearly two hundred patriotic citi- zens, did most commendable work, in many instances unknown to the rest of the people of the city. Their work of investigating alien enemies in this section was perfected, after a careful registration of each person in the city was made. They assisted in all bond campaigns and stamp drives; investigated reported violations of the laws and war rules; assisted in the conservation of fuel, food and building materials, so that every ounce of material and energy could be used for war work and for a successful end- ing of the war. The officers of the Kane County Council were Rev. Chas. Alden, Chairman, and Fred B. Shearer, Secretary, while the local council was in charge of Judge S. N. Hoover, Chairman, and W. A. Searl, Secretary. [327] HON. FRED B. SHEARER CHAIRMAN, AURORA FOUR MINUTE MEN [ 328 ] Four-Minute Men THE Four Minute Men of Aurora, an organization of volunteer business and professional men, under the direction of Fred B. Shearer, proved itself one of the most important cogs in the won- derful war machine in this city, from the time of its inception during the Second Liberty Loan until after the signing of the armistice. The "Four Minute Men" was an organization, conceived and carried out by some clever patriot, to arouse the people of the United States to the highest pitch of patriotic endeavor. Composed entirely of volun- teers, its mission was to convey to the people, throughout the country, messages of the government in connection with its war program, boost- ing enlistments, the sales of Liberty Bonds, War Saving and Thrift Stamps, and establishing and maintaining that morale among the citizens which backed the fighting forces to the limit. They did this by appearing before the moving picture theatres and other ready-made audiences, speaking for a period of only four minutes. What great work was accomplished by the local Four Minute Men will never be known, but the fact that these men spoke to from 50,000 to 75,000 people each month at public gatherings, and that Aurora went "over the top" in every war enterprise proved the organization of untold value in the war work of this community. President Wilson, in the early part of the war said: "Upon you Four Minute Men who are charged with the special duty and enjoy a special privilege in the command of your audiences will rest in a considerable degree the task of arousing and informing the great body of our people. "My best wishes and continued interest with you in your work as part of the reserve officers corps in a nation thrice armed because through your efforts it knows better the justice of its cause and the value of what it defends." On November 29, 1918, after the signing of the armistice, he wrote the Four Minute Men, in part, as follows: "Each member of your organization in receiving your honorable discharge from the service, may justly feel a glow of proper pride in the part he has played in holding fast the inner lines." This national organization was composed of about 75,000 men, speak- ing every day and night, and reached, it is believed, about 15,000,000 peo- ple every twenty-four hours during the period of the war. [329] The local organization consisted of: Fred B. Shearer, Chairman Luther Allen, until taking up Y. M. C. A. work in France Henry B. Adams Paul Berger Fred L. Biester C. P. Burton Clark P.

Wilson [ 330 ] War Saving and Thrift Stamps IN THE fall of 1917, Hon. Frank A. Vanderlip, a former citizen of the City of Aurora, now probably the leading financial authority of the United States, conceived the plan of raising war funds, whereby every person in the country, especially those who could not invest in Lib- erty Bonds, could participate in the work of assisting the Government with his or her mite by means of War Saving and Thrift Stamps. Under this plan, a thrift stamp could be obtained from the post office, practically each mercantile establishment, every school, either public or parochial, and most any of the shops and factories by paying twenty-five cents. Saving these stamps until they, with a few pennies added, amounted to from $4.12 to $4.23, they were exchangeable at the post office for a war saving stamp, for which the United States Government will in 1923 pay the holder $5.00. By this means, millions of dollars were raised by the children of the nation and the investors, who soon realized the war stamp proposition to be a better investment than even Liberty Bonds. In the work of disposing of war stamps, the citizens of Aurora, both old and young, took hold with a true spirit, and not only led the County of Kane, but ranked among the highest in the country, with nearly a half million in sales. The limit to stamp purchases was placed at $1000.00 to a person, and in Aurora 117 persons were placed on the honor roll as having obtained the certificate showing a thousand dollar purchase. From December 1st, 1917, until December 31st, 1918, the Post Office department in Aurora shows the following sales for the city: SAVINGS STAMPS December, 1917..

FRANK A. VANDERLiP FORMER AURORA MAN WORLD'S GREATEST FINANCIER AND THE ORIGINATOR OF THE WAR SAVING AND THRIFT STAMPS [ 332 ] In Aurora, with its many patriotic enterprises, the work of organizing and carrying on the stamp campaign fell to the Post Office officials, a mon- ster job in itself, to say nothing of the vast increase in the postal service line, caused by the parcel post and the Selective Service, or draft-board work. In the labor of disposing of these stamps a most efficient organization was established by Postmaster Louis A. Stoll and Elliott Pritchard, Sr., assisted by the officials and teachers of all schools, the postal employes, the Four Minute Men, Commercial Club, and the citizens in general, who, realizing the proposition as not only a patriotic one but a good invest- ment, urged the same on to the limit. Especially commendable was the great work of the mail carriers and the hundreds of school children. At the postoffice, Ernest G. Schmidt was in full charge of the stamp accounting, and from the reports on file in that office the mail carriers' sales are registered as follows: Edward Weidman $41,000.00 James J. Stubbs 17,498.56 Mathew Treirweiler 38,559.09 Albert Retterer 1 1,363.00 Fred Burkle 37,270.00 Arthur Farr 10,335.80 William Perry 30,512.90 John Ivarson 10,110.00 while the remainder of the carriers, working in the residence districts, Nicholas -Caas, Albert Davis, James Emigh, James Miller, Edward Flannigan, Robert Reid, August Spinck, Gustave Lundgren, William Lindgren, Edward Lindgren, George Lull, Hans Hanson, Hans Hen- drickson, Frank Gulp, William Beach, Fritz B. Smith, Ernest Mihr and John Carr, each disposed of over $5000.00 worth and raised the post- office sales to nearly $400,000.00. The month of August, 1918, with the week of the 15th to the 22nd, designated as Pershing week, was the banner month of the year, not only in Aurora, but throughout the nation, when a determined effort was made to show the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Forces and the fighting, boys in France, on the eve of the famous American advances through the German lines, that the nation was with them to the finish. In the schools of the city a most efficient organization was perfected by the teachers and officials, and, as a result, practically all pupils from the high schools down to the primary grades, worked like beavers for the coveted stamps.

This: organization was perfected under License No. 189 from the State Council of Defense for the following purposes : To encourage the Aurora soldiers and sailors in the performance of their duties. To foster patriotism of our soldiers and sailors and the residents of the community. To organize Aurora's manufacturing, mercantile, professional and social interests to back our representatives in the war. To create a fund for emergency purposes for the Aurora soldiers and sailors. To do our bit for our country during the period of the war. Its officers were : President Hon. James E. Harley. Secretary John M. Peffers. Treasurer Frank J. Knight. Executive Committee Dr. C. E. Colvvell, W. W. Stephens, John F. Holslag, John L. Walker, Charles F. Wade, Joseph Reid, E. C. Finch, David Richmond and John Schmitz. On August 7, 1917, while the members of the Third Regiment com- panies were recruiting to war strength and awaiting the mobilization call from Washington, the citizens of Aurora, under the guidance of the Army and Navy Auxiliary, tendered the boys a farewell chicken dinner and pic- nic at Fox River Park. On November 10, 1917, hundreds of the young women of the city, under chairmanship of Mrs. Theodore Worcester, conducted a Tag Day from which was realized $4300.00, which proved enough, whereby the Auxiliary officials were enabled to forward to every soldier, sailor and marine then in the service a Christmas check for $4.84. On September 12, 1917, the day before the Third Regiment left for Camp Logan, the Auxiliary presented, in the name of Aurora, a fine sad- dle horse to Col. Charles Greene and another to First Lieut. James San- ders, while on October 5, 1917, by energetic work, the society was able to convey to the company headquarters of the Aurora boys at Camp Grant a piano and Victrola with a supply of music for each. [ 337 ] During the month's training at Camp Logan, the officers of the Au- rora companies were at all times in charge of funds from the society, whereby any and all emergency calls for money were quickly met. Later, when the Patriot's Fund came into existence, the necessity of the Army and Navy Auxiliary terminated, that organization taking care of all demands for funds from whatsoever source. During its existence, great work was accomplished, its receipts amount- ing to $6878.25, while its expenses amounted to $5798.42. Upon the disbandment of the organization, the remainder of the funds in the treasury, amounting to $988.83, was donated to the Red Cross Fund. [ 338 ] Navy League WITH the declaration of war in April, 1917, Carroll Miller, then connected with the Western United Gas and Electric Co., inter- ested a number of the patriotic men of the community in an organ- ization, known as the Navy League. Its objects were primarily to assist the government in increasing the navy enlistments, so that when the army was ready for transport, Uncle Sam's growing navy would be properly manned for protection in transporting our troops across the Atlantic. Through this organization, a store in Broadway was secured, equipped with proper furniture and naval literature, and placed in charge of J. J. McGarry, a returned naval man. Great work in the matter of enlistments for the navy was accomplished at both this headquarters and also in the tent, later placed on the Island, adjacent to the. City Hall until the naval department, advising the Navy League throughout the county of its intention to assume full charge of the naval enlistment work. The local league then ceased its labors, with the proud record of having secured for the navy the highest percentage of recruits from the great Central Naval District. The Navy League, like most local organizations, was composed entirely of volunteer workers who also contributed all the funds needed to carry on the work in this city. [339] Aurora Churches DURING the terrible hours of war, when rumors of disaster were at times afloat, the work of encouraging our people and allaying their fears devolved to a great extent upon the clergy and mem- bers of the churches. Not only was this work successfully carried out in our city, but wonderful results were accomplished by the many church or- ganizations in all branches of the war servicee. In every church of Aurora, Red Cross units worked unceasingly for the cause; Liberty Loan campaigns were conducted from the pulpits; Thrift and Savings Stamps were recommended, all of which resulted in the wonderful record attained by the Aurora citizens in the successful ending of the war. Not only did the church people play a prominent part in the work of backing the boys, but nearly one-half of the boys who offered up their life and blood on the battle lines and warships were affiliated with our churches, as the following report shows: Church In Service Deceased Congregational, First 59 1 Congregational, New England 50 1 Methodist, First in 1 Methodist, Galena Boulevard 64 Methodist, Fourth Street 25 1 Methodist, Bethel 27 1 Methodist, A.

While many institutions of the nation and world failed to withstand the strain of the war, the school system not only weathered the shock and confusion, but rendered service to the city, state and nation which can never be estimated. Too much cannot be said or written of the great work rendered by the teachers and students of the Aurora schools during the late war. Coached to perfection with patriotic ideas by the unexcelled teaching corps, no war enterprise was carried to completion or success without the wonderful assistance of the student body of the local schools. They were in every undertaking, Liberty Loan campaigns, Red Cross work, Thrift and Sav- ings Stamp drives, Food and Fuel conservation, their youthful enthusiasm carrying their elders along to a successful termination in every instance. Only with the great work rendered by the students and teachers of the local schools in hours and days of toil did the Local Board for the City of Aurora, with nearly 9,000 registrants, accomplish its work designated by the War Department, the first in the great State of Illinois. Not an instance can be recalled, when called upon to work, that they failed the Board, and always proved equal to the task. The work of the teachers and students with the Local Board was but a small portion of the great work accomplished by the schools. Nearly all pupils were enrolled in the Junior Red Cross legion; hundreds toiled on Red Cross supplies; urged householders to save on fuel; bought thrift and savings stamps by the thousands; bought bonds, totalling nearly $100,000.00. Many students of the High schools took up the work of assisting farmers during the summer months, besides creating a patriotic enthusiasm throughout the community, never before attained in any city in the world.

As in the years gone by, "God's Chosen People," as the Jewish people are mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, continued to suffer untold misery and hardships at the hands of the Russian classes, until the Ameri- can people, regardless of class or religion, took up the proposition of assisting this downtrodden race of Europe, not only with financial and moral support, but with food and medical supplies. In 1916, an Aurora Society, affiliated with the Chicago Relief Associ- ation, was organized with the following officers: President Israel Joseph Secretary Julius Zidell Treasurer Joseph Swimmer For one year and a half, Mr. Joseph served as the president, when he was succeeded by Albert M. Hirsh, the retiring president assuming the position of general solicitor for the cause. This society consisted of twenty-five members, who were ably assisted in their work by the entire population of the city to the extent that the following financial assistance was forwarded from this city to the afflicted parts of the world: 1916 $ 3,513.11 1917 3,137.35 1918 7,379.50 1919 9,969.06 Total $23,999.02 While this amount of money may seem small in proportion to the vast amount raised throughout the country, it reveals the fact that no matter what relief organization needed funds to carry on its laudable work, the Aurora people were always ready and responded most nobly with financial assistance. In 1919, on the call for further financial assistance for the suffering Jewish people of Europe, Aurora Township, under the Chairmanship of Honorable John M. Raymond, with an excellent campaign organization, quickly raised its allotment of $26,000.00. t 349 ] HON. JOHN M. RAYMOND CHAIRMAN JEWISH RELIEF DRIVE IN 1919 [ 350 ] Roumanian Patriots REGARDLESS of the fact that they were subjects of an alien enemy country, our Roumanian population, which of late years has been greatly increased, demonstrated to the citizens of Aurora, early in the war, their Love for the United States and its institutions, and through- out the unpleasantness of war, they participated with enthusiastic vigor in every patriotic movement launched in this vicinity. A large majority of this population was born in Transylvania, a country confiscated a number of years ago from Roumania by Austria-Hungary, and while unfortunate to have been born on Hungarian soil, they still retained the desire to be classed as Roumanian subjects. Early in the war, a committtee of these patriots, under the leadership of such men as George Demeter, Dr. A. N. Kitenplon, Gregory Olar and the late Rev. Fr. John Pop took up the work of Americanization of their friends, and as a result of their labors, every bond issue, saving stamp or other patriotic drive launched in the city was not only successful with this population, but always one of the first "over the top." Hundreds of these people immediately made their declaration of in- tention to become citizens in the Federal courts and many have not only filed for their final papers, but have taken advantage of the night schools instituted by the school authorities, with the view of not only improving their condition but becoming more enlightened concerning our institutions. Many enlisted in the military service, while the majority of the registrants of this nationality waived exemption before the war board, and in many instances implored the authorities to allow them to enlist to defend the flag, but because of the laws, promulgated by the government, this priv- ilege was denied them in most cases. During the summer of 1918, after the entry of Roumania into the con- flict, the great Roumanian Commission, visiting in this country for the purpose of uniting the subjects of that country residing in the United States to assist this government in every way, visited this city, addressed these people and thus increased the enthusiasm of the entire community in war work.

JOHN POP LOCAL LEADERS is THE ROUMANIAN' WORK DR. E. LUCACIN GREGORY OLAR [352] Home Guard WITH the departure of the Third Infantry to war, leaving the State without military protection from any possible internal trouble, the Aurora Commercial Club started an investigation by appoint- ing a committee, through whose efforts the Home Guard was organized. An instructor was hired and weekly drills were held at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Over one hundred signed the original muster roll, and on December 26th, 1917, Unit No. 67, Volunteer Training Corps of Illinois, with a complement of commissioned officers and privates, was fully or- ganized and recognized by the Illinois State Council of Defense. Few people realize just how important it was that we should have mili- tary companies in this vicinity during the war, but the fact can now be re- vealed to the public that through Kane and Will Counties, Illinois, ran the principal trunk lines of the American railroad system, all entering the great city of Chicago. Can one estimate the damage that could have been caused the govern- ment of the United States and the allied cause if some alien enemy,' or unpatriotic person, with the inclination to damage the government, had with a few high explosive bombs discharged the same on any of the sev- eral bridges belonging to the railroads traversing the two counties? The result would have been that these important railroad systems, carrying, millions of men and millions of war supplies east, would have been stopped for some considerable period while repairs were being made. Although the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, which had been so kindly do- nated for drill purposes, had served temporarily, the size of the com- pany necessitated larger quarters and the armory immediately became available. On May 4, 1918, after reducing the size of the company to the re- quired strength to be admitted as Reserve Militia Company, it was sworn in, and became known as "K" Company, 6th Regiment, I. R. M., with the following officers in charge: Ludwig L. Schliecker Captain Charles P. Wright First Lieutenant John C. Rayment Second Lieutenant During the period of the war, officers and non-commissioned officers assisted in training the draft men before entrainment to camp; did police duty at the request of the Mayor; acted as escort with the G. A. R. as drafted men, from time to time, were sent to the cantonments, and fur- nished firing squads over the graves of soldier boys whose premature deaths at the camps had cut short their military careers, but who had stamped themselves, nevertheless, as true heroes. In fact, the company became a necessary and useful adjunct in many ways to the community [353] COMPANY K. SIXTH REGIMENT INFANTRY ILLINOIS RESERVE MILITIA [ 354 ] during the war period. Complete uniforms were obtained through the combined efforts of the manufacturers, merchants, and the company, while the guns were furnished by the State. Aurora's military history would not be complete without the mention of Captain Charles S. Harkison, whose patriotism and loyalty have al- ways been of the hundred per-cent brand. Soon after his return and re- lease from his duties with Uncle Sam, he threw himself into the work of the Reserve Militia, and the State, knowing well his military ability, com- missioned him Major of the 1st Battalion, 6th Regiment of the Illinois Reserve Militia, which includes "K" Company of this city. His staff consists of Verne Hedin, Adjutant, John C. Rayment, Commissary Lieu- tenant, and Allyne F. Bradley, Sergeant Major.

PIERCE FUEL ADMINISTRATOR FOR AURORA AND THE HTH ILLINOIS FUEL DISTRICT [356] Fuel Administration in Aurora RESIDENTS of Aurora, for many years back, can hardly remember a harder winter than was experienced in this vicinity during the years 1917 and 1918, but thanks to the untiring efforts of Milo M. Pierce and his assistants, Lincoln B. Frazier and Earl F. Schoeber- lein in Aurora, Robert C. Hollister of Batavia, and Oscar Nelson of Geneva, little suffering was experienced from the want of fuel, despite the fact that many localities of this state did suffer for that commodity. In November, 1917, the national administration, realizing that the supply of fuel would be short, because of the great demand made to sup- ply the factories and war munition plants of all kinds, appointed state and district fuel administrators for the purpose of conserving fuel to the limit. With this great demand, came the unusual terriffic winter, with the thermometer hovering close to the zero mark for weeks at a time, all of which made the task of the local administration exceptionally hard. Mr. Pierce took charge of the fuel question on November 12th, 1917, and immediately issued rules governing the distribution and sales of fuel to consumers, fixing a maximum gross margin of profit for the dealers, besides governing the storage and use of all fuels. So acute was the situation at times that "Lightless Nights" were en- forced, in some instances with fines, several mercantile and numerous manufacturing concerns throughout the country being closed in order that the civilian population would not suffer for the want of necessary fuel. The orders of the fuel administrator were in most cases cheerfully carried out, as was the request of the officials to conserve gasoline, when 99 per cent of the automobile owners of this city obeyed and not an auto- mobile was run on our streets on the several Sundays the ban was in existence. It is the proud record of Fuel Administrator Pierce, that during the trying times experienced that winter, not one institution was closed and not a single home was abandoned because of the lack of fuel, though at times the situation was such that the administrator was obliged to con- fiscate many carloads of fuel in transit through the city for other points. This result was attained by the local administration, principally, because, immediately following his appointment, he made a careful compilation of the amount of fuel which would be required to properly take care of each community in District No. 11, which extended from Aurora, north to Geneva, and included the southern townships of the county. In this way, his splendid organization kept the situation well in hand. In June, 1918, the following prices and regulations were issued to the dealers of the district, and, as a result, the fuel situation in the winter of 1918 and 1919 was carried out to the satisfaction of everyone in the district. 1 357 ] ITEMS OF MAXIMUM GROSS MARGIN FOR AURORA, BATAVIA & GENEVA EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 1918 Maximum Gross Margin on Yard Delivery General Degrada- Net Kind of Coal Si/,c- One Ton Lots Expense Expense Expense tion Profit Bituminous, Ppd $2.10 $.15 $.90 $.60 $.20 $.25 Bituminous, Lump M.

An extra delivery charge of 20c can be made for lots of less than one ton of coal and coke. No reduction in price for delivery of more than one ton of coal or coke unless spe- cially agreed to, between purchaser and dealer. For coal or coke delivered outside of the city limits, an extra charge of 25c per ton may be charged for each mile or fraction thereof. A reduction of 75c per ton from the above gross margins must be allowed by deal- ers to purchasers who do their own hauling. You are required to strictly observe the above maximum gross margins and regula- tions, as they necessarily govern the retail prices you are allowed to fix. You are also required to have posted in your office in a conspicuous place, for public inspection at all times, prices on the different kinds, sizes, etc., of coal and coke you are offering for sale. The work of the fuel administration in this vicinity ceased on April 7th, 1919, with a record unexcelled by any district in the State of Illinois.

[359] JOHN T. MASON FOOD ADMINISTRATOR OF AURORA AND KANE COUNTY [360] Food Administration in Aurora PEOPLE of this country, in general, little realize the important work accomplished, nor, perhaps, appreciate the work of the local Food Administration throughout the trying times of 1917 and 1918, but, nevertheless, this great department was one of the great factors in win- ning the war, because the food supplies played almost as vital a part as munitions to the allied army and the people backing the boys. Early in the war, the national administration realized that America must conserve its food in a way never before experienced in this coun- try, not only for needed supplies for the fighting forces, but to assist the foreign population with food, if the German war machine was to be de- stroyed. John T. Mason, one of Aurora's philanthropic citizens, was recom- mended and duly appointed County Food Administrator, with headquar- ters in Aurora, and his task of schooling the merchants and people in the art and necessity of food conservation was one of the hardest and most exacting of the many war activities in this city, especially so, when Mr. Hoover, the national administrator, ordered substitutes sold in equal quantities with wheat flour. According to the administrator, some merchants were slow to under- stand what substitutes were to be used with sales of wheat and war-flour. Instances were cited where some disposed of potatoes, some oats in bulk, while one sold baled hay with a 49-pound sack of flour. These cases were only extreme cases, and the violators were soon corrected by the food administrator, when the work of checking up with the dealer com- menced, and Mr. Dealer found he had a bulk of substitutes on his hands unsold. Several carloads of wheat were obtained in the county by the admin- istrator from wheat hoarders, and finally the administrator, to obtain the full amount of wheat grown in the county for consumption, organized the 180 threshing outfits. By means of this organization, working in close harmony with the food administrator, all the grain was threshed and then rethreshed, so that little of the valuable food product was lost. While primarily this county is a dairy district, the amount of grain pro- duced and furnished was no small amount, as will be noted from the food administrator's figures for 1918: Rye 59,086 Bushels Wheat 1,000,000 Bushells Barley 1,004,933 Bushels Oats 2,276,926 Bushels Total 4,341,500 Bushels [361] While the flour proposition was a trial for the administrator, his real trouble was the sugar proposition, both with the careless grocer and the housewife, unwilling to abide with the rules as adopted by the national ad- ministration. Some grocers sold sugar to every one, whether a customer or not; some sold to people in 100 pound lots; some grocers obtained 1,000 pounds of sugar when they were entitled to only 100 pounds, while an instance was reported where the grocer obtained 2,500 pounds, when his supply should have been only 235 pounds. However, the sugar pro- position was soon regulated by the administration, which went so far as to regulate the amount of sugar to the cup of coffee used. The use of sugar for canning was a hard task to regulate because of the fact that many disregarded the rules, and many unpatriotic people, by different means, obtained somewhat more than they were entitled to. This class of people were of the foreign element in most cases, and the real American housewife faced the shortage with her true spirit, making the most of the trying situation and existed on the allotment of two pounds per month per capita. During his administration, Mr. Mason was ably assisted in this city by Frank BeVier and the members of the State Council of Defense, together with the patriotic people of the community who realized the enormous task on his hands and were ready and willing to suffer almost anything to make the victory sure. [ 362 ] Steamship "Aurora" IN JUNE, 1918, the City of Aurora was honored by the U. S. Shipping Board, when Mayor James E. Harley was notified by Edward Hur- ley of that Board to the effect that a new steel steamship of 4000 ton capacity, designated as Hull No. 1005 and under construction in the ship building yards of Pusey and Jones at Wilmington, Delaware, would be named "Aurora" in honor of the Queen City of the Fox River Valley. By popular vote, conducted by the Aurora Theater Company, under instructions from the mayor, Miss Agnes Kirby, sister of the first Aurora boy to fall wounded, and cousin of the first Aurora soldier to die on the fields of carnage in France, was selected from a list of twenty-five young ladies of this city to act as sponsor for the City of Aurora at the launch- ing of the ship in the Delaware city. On July 4, 1918, at 10 a. m., in the presence of 25,000 people, many of whom were from this city, as Miss Kirby crashed the historic bottle against its sides, the ship "Aurora" glided gracefully and majestically down the runs of the ship yards and out into Delaware Bay, ready for the work of completion, to take its place in the convoys which were carrying troops and supplies from this country to France. [ 363 ] Burlington Railroad A MONG the wonderful accomplishments achieved by the Yan- r\ kees in the great war was the record established by the "railroad boys" of the nation, not only in the number of enlistments, but by the men who were required to "stay on the job" and handle the flood of transportation work demanded of them. Few railroads can equal, and none can excell, the magnificent record established by the efficient organization perfected by the Burlington Rail- road officials, especially on the Aurora Division. This division, extending from Galesburg, Streator and Savanna to Chicago, including the great locomotive and car shops at Aurora, on this gigantic trunk line, handled not only hundreds of thousands of soldiers and sailors, but millions of tons of freight, consisting of munitions, coal, and food for millions of people other than the military and naval forces. Few people realize the enormous responsibility, which for many months rested upon the shoulders of a few men living in Aurora, but they were equal to the occasion, and thanks to their careful attention, hundreds of thousands of men were carried to and from Camp Grant and from many western camps to the east and thousands of freight trains hustled through the city, all without the loss of life or destruction by wrecks, and gener- ally without the slightest delay. Never in the history of railroading on the Burlington were there so few wrecks, none of which could be regarded as serious. While an excursion train, containing troops en route from Camp Grant to a celebration in Chicago, was wrecked, with the loss of two lives, it was the proud record of the Burlington employes that not a government train, either troop or freight, was wrecked on the Aurora Division. One of the principal tasks in railroad work is the handling of the many trains on the system, and great credit is given to the train dispatching force in Aurora, consisting of Frank Curran, Thomas F. O'Conner, George Crawford, J. E. Lies, Jeremiah O'Conner, Charles Jordan, E. T. Mahoney, Walter Hull, F. E. Patelsky, E. W. Montgomery and C. E. Brown for the excellent record attained with the assistance of the many careful train and engine crews. During the war, the Burlington employes serving the nation in the army, navy and marines numbered 5032 men, many of whom, through their careful attention, work and bravery attained high rank in the forces to which they were attached. The hundreds of men and women employed at home in Aurora on the road and in the shops and offices not only worked at high speed, but a careful survey shows that all patriotic calls for funds, including Patriot's [ 364 ] Fund, Thrift and Savings Stamps, the Five Liberty Loans, Red Cross and many camp funds, met with a hundred per cent response on every occa- sion.

CLYNE UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF Ii I.INOIS HON. R. A. MILROY ASSISTANT U. S. DISTRICT ATTORNEY THOMAS C. SMITH DEPUTY U. S. MARSHAL [366] U. S. Department #/ Justice DURING the war, probably the most important department of the U. S. Government was the Department of Justice. It was. the task of the officers and employes of this department to uncover all plots against the government, find unpatriotic citizens and punish all violators of the government laws throughout the land. In this department, Aurora played a most prominent part with Hon. Charles F. Clyne, as U. S. District Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, his assistant R. A. Milroy and Thomas Smith, Deputy U. S. Marshal in charge of all the prosecution and care of offenders in and about Chicago during the entire war period. During the war, the work of the District Attorney's office covered a larger number of cases than did the districts of Boston and New York City combined and included three of the most important cases of the United States, namely: The case of the United States vs. William Haywood, et al., usually known as the I. W. W. case in which ninety-five defendants were found guilty of a conspiracy to violate the Espionage Law, and were given sen- tences ranging from ten days to twenty years imprisonment. In the case of the United States vs. Jacobson, et al., five defendants were convicted of conspiracy to violate the neutrality laws of the United States. The proof showed that these men conspired to start a military expedition in the United States for the purpose of fomenting a revolu- tion in India. In the case of United States vs. Victor L. Berger, et al., five defend- ants were charged with conspiracy to violate the Espionage Law. All de- fendants were convicted and each was sentenced to twenty years impris- onment. All of the above cases are still under review by the District Court of Appeals on appeal by the defendants. Officer Smith conveyed many prisoners convicted in U. S. courts to the Federal jails for confinement. [ 367 ] A. C. WEINGARTNER (1) Chief Clerk, Aurora District Office, Revenue Dept. GEORGE W.

Early in 1918 with the increased number of revenue enactments of Congress to provide the necessary money for the carrying on of the gov- ernment and war, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue designated the counties of Kane, DuPage, DeKalb and Kendall as the Eighth Division of the First District of Illinois, with headquarters in the City of Aurora and branch offices established in Wheaton, Elgin, Geneva, DeKalb and Sycamore. P. F. Fullmer, General Deputy Collector was placed in charge of the District with Assistant General Deputy A. C. Weingartner, Corporation Income Tax Inspector, H. M. Gillette, H. T. McGrath, W. L. Stanton and George W. Larsen as assistants. Of the sixty-two different lines of taxes assessed by the government, the Income Tax, Liquor Tax and the miscellaneous taxes, such as manufac- turers, soda, admission and tobacco taxes were the most prominent in this section. During the year 1918, two thousand eight hundred fifty-three persons in the City of Aurora paid income taxes to the amount of $300,000.00 while the other assessments paid by Aurora people amounted to over $20,000.00 per month. During that period the amount of revenue derived from liquor tax in Aurora amounted to $100,000.00, while the 13 cigar manufacturers of the city paid thousands of dollars to the government on their commodities. Notwithstanding the hundreds of thousands of people scattered throughout the district, few people either evaded or tried to evade pay- merit of the taxes levied by the government, as the records show only 97 delinquents of Income tax returns being compelled to show Uncle Sam, for which penalties amounting to $10,000.00 were assessed. [ 369 ] The Public Library's Work in the World War WHEN the American Library Association began to get busy with its campaign to supply the soldiers and sailors of the United States with books and periodicals, the Aurora Public Library performed a modest part in furthering the work. Appeals to the people went forth, asking for contributions. These met with a generous response, not only from the people of the city, but from the people of the neighboring towns as well. About 500 volumes were boxed and sent to various camps. A form of scrap book was adopted and besides the work on scrap-books that was done in the Library, volunteers were called upon to help. In all about 70 of these scrap-books were made in this manner. When the Red Cross work in Aurora was well organized, and the Woman's Club of Aurora began to actively participate therein, the as- sembly room in the second story of the Library building was thrown open as a work room. It was a busy scene for many months. The service thus rendered was much appreciated and was duly acknowledged in the follow- ing note: THE WOMAN'S CLUB OF AURORA, ILLINOIS MR. W. S. BEAUPRE, President Aurora Public Library. The Board of Managers of the Woman's Club of Aurora extends thanks to the Board members and all employes of the Aurora Public Library for their co-operation in the Red Cross work done by the Woman's Club in the Library rooms. Sincerely, MARY G. WORST, Corresponding Secretary. Since the close of the war, the use of the same room in the Library building has been granted to classes of maimed soldiers that have been conducted by Miss Florence E. Watson, a Mooseheart worker. What the American Library Association, with the co-operation of the Public Libraries, throughout the country, did for the American soldiers and sailors, was an essential element in maintaining the morale of the men whom the country sent forth to make democracy safe throughout the world. [370] Aurora Factories WHAT an important part the factories of Aurora played in the win- ning of the war will probably never be known, but it is a fact that few cities of the United States the size of Aurora surpassed the amount of war supplies turned out by the manufacturing institutions of this city. Despite the great number of men who entered the service, at times crippling the working forces of a number of the factories, efficient organ- izations with patriotic employes continued to turn out the supplies which were needed by the "boys." At the time of the signing of the armistice, practically every factory in Aurora was pushing to the capacity on war work. Among the leading institutions engaged in war work were the Allsteelequip Co. American Well Works Co. American Wood Work. Mchy. Co. Aurora Bleachery & Dye Works Aurora Cooperage Co. Aurora Cotton Mills Aurora Foundry Co. Aurora Metal Co. Miller, Bryant Pierce Co. Love Bros, Inc. Rathbone, Sard & Co. Johnson Ideal Halter Co. C. C. Hinckley Wm. F. Jobbins, Inc. Richard Wilcox Co. Stephens Adamson Mfg. Co. Western Wheeled Scraper Co. Lyon Metallic Co.

[371] FRANK RADUENZ U. S. EMPLOYMENT AGENT IN AURORA [372] U. S. Employment Bureau ONE of the main factors in the acceleration of war work and the backing up of the boys in the camps and trenches was the United States Employment Service office, located in the post office build- ing. This office was established in April, 1918, with Frank Raduenz in charge, and Miss Margaret McEnroe and C. H. Starry as his assist- ants, and since its inception, they have directed over ten thousand men and women to work, of whom about eight thousand placements have been reported. During the war, workers of all descriptions, male and female, were directed from non-essential to essential work. The greatest number of these in Aurora were directed to rnetal shops, doing government work, and to farms for the production of food. The co-operation of this office with the local exemption board and the assistance it received in publicity work from newspapers made these endeavors highly successful. While most cities had their population depleted during the war, Au- rora increased its population in this period, notwithstanding the fact that over thirty-six hundred men entered the military and naval service. After the signing of the armistice, this office had to perform yeoman service in placing war workers back into normal pursuits. The office was in touch with over five thousand soldiers and sailors returning from camps, and advised them as to the proper courses to pursue for finding employment. About a thousand of the returning soldiers and sailors had to be redirected to new positions for various reasons. Federal funds for this office were discontinued March 22, 1919, but community interests supplied the funds to continue the office beyond July 1, 1919. The popularity of the department and its work constituted the main reason for the Illinois State Labor officials and Governor Frank O. Lowden establishing an Illinois Free Employment office in Aurora. This office which is now a permanent institution and which at present co-operates with the federal employment service in Washington, D. C., continues placing the unemployed and returning soldiers, sailors and mar- ines to work. Frank Raduenz who was in charge of the U. S. Employ- ment Service office was appointed superintendent by Governor Frank O. Lowden. Henry J. Smith, a returned overseas soldier, was appointed as- sistant superintendent. Mrs. Josephine S. Harkins, an Aurora woman, but who during the war served with the New Mexico state draft board and later with the federal employment service at Santa Fe, was appointed offi- cial stenographer and detailed in charge of the directing of women and girls to employment. [ 373 ] LOVE BROS. FAMOUS LIBERTY BELL, WHICH SPREAD THE NEWS OF THE SIGNING OF THE ARMISTICE ABOUT AURORA ONE OF THE MANY TRUCK LOADS OF AURORA GIRLS AND BOYS CELEBRATING ON ARMISTICE DAY [374] Armistice Days SHORTLY after 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, November 7, 1918, came the false report from the United Press at Paris that an armi- stice had been signed. Aurora like every city in the United States was, like a flash, in one wild and hysterical clamor; shops shut down; employes and citizens paraded the city; bells rang and whistles blew; men, women and children cried with joy, and joy was unrestrained for many hours, even after the official report denying the news had been for- warded from Washington. Never before was such a scene witnessed in this city or possibly in the country. MONDAY, Nov. 11, 1918 Five minutes after 1 o'clock Monday morning, November 11, 1918, the official report of the signing of the armistice which ended the World's greatest war flashed into this city. Instantly factory, shop and engine whistles heralded the news to the slumbering people and almost as instantly every man, woman and child was out of bed to participate in the most glorious day of this generation. From that hour until long into the next night the people celebrated the glorious victory over the Imperial Ger- man forces. No tongue can tell or pen describe the scenes of joy dis- played in this city from which 3600 of its truest and bravest sons and daughters had gone out to battle the enemies of freedom on foreign lands and sea. Saloons of Aurora were closed by the Mayor and a free, unre- strained celebration was indulged in by old and young; parades marched up and down the streets; effigies of every description were devised and "Old Glory" was everywhere in evidence amid the noise and clamor from every conceivable noise-making instrument obtainable. The pride, pat- riotism and victory touched all hearts and never before did the wonder- ful words of "The Star Spangled Banner" sound so stirring and so full of meaning. [375] Aurora Bachelor Club AT the opening of the war in April, 1917, the Aurora Bachelor Club had fifty-one members, of which forty-one entered the service of. Uncle Sam, the remainder being barred from military service by reason of physical rejections, industrial and dependency causes, a most striking example of how Aurora's sons flocked to the colors.

A more beautiful autumnal day could not have been wished for by the thousands who entered into the occasion to pay homage to the defenders of the flag. Forming in line at Lincoln Park at 10 o'clock that morning 2,000 sol- diers, sailors, marines, nurses, Red Cross workers, "Y" and K. of C. workers, many of whom had faced and defeated the grandest of the Kaiser's best regiments with cold steel, many with healed and unhealed wounds, many who had been decorated for valor on the field of carnage and many more who deserved, but had not had the coveted honors be- stowed upon them, men representing not only every division in the war, but every branch of service used to bring about the successful termination of the conflict, marched, as only soldiers of a righteous cause could, through the streets of dear "Old Aurora." With swinging step they moved amidst the cheering populace increased by thousands from surrounding towns, to receive the ovation justly given to the heroes of the World's greatest conflict. Never will Aurora witness such an inspiring scene as the parade of these young heroes, presented to the citizens of this community on that day. Following the parade the marchers were taken to Phillips Park by auto, there to enjoy the real old fashioned chicken dinner prepared by the women of the Red Cross organization under the leadership of Mrs. Grace Bliss. Seated at 125 tables placed in fan shape through that beautiful woodland, 2,500 men and women, the largest crowd to be dined at one time in Aurora, enjoyed to their heart's content the following menu: Fried Chicken Home Made Bread Creamery Butter Jelly Pickles Mashed Potatoes Cabbage Salad Hot Rolls Jam Ice Cream Cake Coffee A most beautiful feature of the day were the memorial exercises given in the memory of the 86 soldiers and sailors who gave up their lives de- fending the flag. Just as the sun was setting in the west, thousands with uncovered heads bowed in silent prayer, listened to the shrill notes of "Taps" resounding through the woodland, and then witnessed the unveil- ing of the service flag adorned with 86 gold stars designating Aurora's boys, never to return.

The Deutschland in a French Harbor After the Armistice. THE GREAT WORLD WAR AN ILLUSTRATED REVIEW m HEN the World War ended on November llth, 1918, the armed forces of 25 nations of the globe had been hurling their armies against each other for more than four years in the most colossal struggle of history. After a con- flict without parallel, it ended in its 52d month \vith a casualty total nearing the ten million mark. Set off by the murder of an ordinary Austrian archduke on June 28th, 1914, by a Serbian political fanatic, the conflagration which had threatened the peace of Europe for decades was thus destined to embroil the leading powers of the world in the most costly and bloody strife known to man. After a month's diplomatic argument over the affair, Austria formally opened hostili- ties with her declaration of war on Serbia. General mobilization followed quickly in Russia; a "state of war" was almost immediately declared in Germany. Then on August 1st Germany declared war on Russia, following this with an ultimatum to Belgium demanding that her troops be given free passage across that country. On August 3d, the Teutons included France on their list of enemies. This was followed next day by an ultimatum to Germany from Great Britain demanding that the neutrality of Belgium be respected. When this assurance was not granted by Emperor Wilhelm, Great Britain JJSTBA11ED1IEV1 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiniuimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin. iimimiiiiiiiiiumiiiimiiiumimiiiiiiiiimiimiilli declared war on Germany. A quick succession of war declarations finally involved the greater share of Europe by the end of the summer. Mad with the ruthless spirit of conquest the Central Powers marched their armies off to war in grand fashion, boasting that they would return by Christmas time, the con- querers of Europe. Their amazing preparations for the dream of world power almost brought within their grasp the greedy ambition of the Junkers. The initial successes of the German army in its advance through Belgium and on to- ward Paris astounded the world. England and France reeled and staggered before the terrific onslaught ol the famous Prussian Guards and the other crack armies of the Central Powers. Swept off her feet almost by the spectacular aggression of the enemy, the fate of France virtually hung from a thread as the invaders triumphantly swept on and on. Early in September, when they were practically within reach of Paris, the tide was turned against them in the battle of the Marne, September 6-10. French themselves attribute their good fortune at this point to the hand of the Almighty rather than to their superior military strength at the time. This marked the enemy's point of farthest advance. The atrocities of the advancing Huns during the months of their early triumphs and conquest have been called infamous by conservative journalists and correspondents. Suffice to say, their bloodthirsty ambition to rule and conquer the world knew no bounds, and that their acts and deeds of disgrace will forever remain one of the darkest of the many blotches brought on the German people during the European war. Believing that the United States had no part to play in the war at that time, President Woodrow Wilson, on August 4th, 1914, officially proclaimed the neutrality of the United States. The war was thus confined to Europe for many months, a struggle mainly between the two great European Alliances the Triple Alliance composing Germany, Austria Hungary and Italy, against the Triple Entente, composing England, Russia and Copyright by Underwood &" Underwood. Devastated Soissons After Its Recapture by Americans and French. - Copyright by Underwood & Underwood. Bellcau Wood, Famous as the Scene for one ofthe American Lads' Most Brilliant Victories. France. Italy, originally a member of the Triple Alliance, but later one of the chiei powers of the Allies, did not enter the war until 1915. She then declared war on all of Germany's Allies, but did not break with Germany herself until late in 1916. Before the war she was a member of the Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria but severed this connection to fight with the Allies. After the marvelous advances of the first year, the great battle line in Europe re- mained practically stationary for nearly three years and extended over more than 300 miles. The large armies of each force fought doggedly, suffered heroically and died willingly, in a mighty death-grip whose battles surpassed the most famous of previous wars for loss of life and destruction of property. The superb Armies of the Russians in the Eastern theater kept the attention of a large German force occupied and away from the Western Front. This fact aided the Allies tremendously and probably prevented a German Peace in the second and third years of the War. It was while France, England and Italy were staggering before the last big offensive of the enemy early in 1918 that America's force was thrown into the balance in sub- stantial numbers. Her declaration of war against Germany on April 6th, 1917, grew out of the Central Powers' failure to recognize the rights of neutrals on the high seas. Repeatedly the rights of the United States were violated, and just as repeatedly Germany refused to discontinue her ruthless program of submarine warfare against the world. The sinking of the Lusitania on May 7th, 1915, without warning and with the loss of 1154 lives, 114 of whom were Americans, was regarded by a great many as just cause for a declaration of war against Germany. The President and Congress believing differently, failed to act, and it was not until more sinkings of women and children that the United States decided to step into the breach herself. wiiilmmiiiiiiilliilllllimiliillliiilliiiiliiiiiiliiiiimmiiimiilli mm ..-, mm immimnmii Regarded as a mere "bluff" by her adversaries, the United States' entrance appar- ently failed to cause undue anxiety in Berlin. With an unprepared democracy for another enemy in which a great many were believed to have been opposed to war, Germany had little cause for worry, she declared. But America went to work. The act produced an electrical effect on her people and almost instantly united her various factions, creeds, parties, and nationalities for one purpose to crush Germany and her Allies. She became a workshop, with no hours, in her determination to end the European fight victoriously, and thus save democracy for the world. Every effort was bended to the cause, every penny of wealth was eagerly held ready for the call, and every atom of energy was expended in her feverish haste to redeem mankind. I ler sons by the hundreds of thousands rushed to the colors, as their fathers did in the wars of their day, to see another victory added to the flag which had never known defeat. That the distribution of soldiers throughout the land might be as nearly equit- able as possible, Congress passed the Selective Service Act in May, 1918, the greatest mobilization machinery developed by any of the 25 nations at war. Naturally there were obstacles and delays. A nation's task in rising up over night to send a formidable force three thousand miles overseas to fight for world freedom is not the kind that can be accomplished without some disorder and delay. But loyalty and union did it, and on June 26th, 1917, only two months after the declaration of war, the first American doughboy landed on French soil. On November 3d, 1917, the Yanks had their first clash with the Germans. On January 31st, 1918, a report reached America that American infantrymen were occupying first line trenches for the first time. Copyright by Under-wood & Underwood.

Siege Gun for the Second Bombardment of Prz^raysl, June, 1915. I By this time the United States had declared a state of war existing with Austria Hungary, Germany's chief ally, and had swung her domestic machinery into the greatest war machine conceivable. She had begun to raise by popular bond subscriptions billions of dollars to supply guns and munitions, and food and clothes, for the boys who were going over to France to do the job. Four Liberty Loans were floated during the war, and the total subscriptions to these amounted to between eighteen and nineteen billions of dollars. This amount was taken by more than 50 million subscribers, and was to be only an insignificant factor in the financing of the war, according to the Treasury Department. This cost when compared with the total cost of the Civil War for four years approximately $4,000,000,000 is proof enough that the World War was not comparable with any previous war in history. In April, 1919, following the armistice, another Fifth or Victory Loan of approximately the same dimensions as the Fourth, was floated. The wonderfully prompt and generous response of the nation to each of the calls of the Liberty Loans was one of the greatest sources of inspiration for the men in uniform who had gone to fight for those at home. The same patriotic generosity that marked the success of the Liberty Loan was evident in each of the scores of war work drives that were conducted for the various relief and welfare organizations. Food conservation conservation of man-power, the work or fight order, the noble,, work of the women who sewed and knitted night and day for the Red Cross and the boys, the curtailment of profits a'nd the simple economy was practiced by rich and poor alike, were but a few of the many war time measures that characterized the life of Amer- ica's hundred and some million during the year and a half during which she was at war. No history of that war will ever have room for a just story of the part played by the loyal home folks those who waited and prayed, and worked and gave, to keep the home fires burning. r i'iiiimmiiiimiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiininniiiiiiiiiimiiniiniiiimiimiiiimmiiiiiiii niiiiiiuumi llllllllllliiliilllillluillllllllllllllillllMlllllillllllllllllllliillliiillllllllluillllllllliiillllliliiiliniiiliiilliiiliiiillilil Foremost among the initial problems of America, alter preliminary plans for the raising of her army had been laid, was the problem of transporting them to France, so that their strength might be thrown against the Hun on the battlefield. Shipping was not available, and even though it was being increased at maximum capacity, still there was not more than half as much as was needed to transport the men in the numbers they were being trained and in the numbers they were needed by France and England and Italy. England gladly placed her available shipping at the disposal of the United States, and before the war had ended she had carried more than one million Yanks to the side of her own men and those of the French, or nearly half of those who hadgone overseas. The importance of the United States Navy in the war can hardly be exaggerated. Within less than a month after hostilities were declared, she had sent a detachment of destroyers to European waters. By October, 1918, there were 338 ships of all classes flying the American flag in foreign waters. The operations of the Navy during the war covered the widest scope in its history. They operated in European waters from the Mediter- ranean to the White Sea. At Corfu, Gibraltar, in the Bay of Biscay, on the Irish Coast, at the English Channel ports, in the North Sea and at Archangel, they did creditable work. This service was not as brilliant perhaps as that of the army, because the nature of its vital work kept it from the front. Even though its activities were probably less glorious, still they were none the less important and necessary to the cause. Naval men served on nearly 2000 craft that plied the waters of the globe, on sub- marines that had no fear of the under-sea perils, and in aviation where men of courage fought and prevented surprise attacks with new-found weapons.

In diplomacy, in investigation at home and in all parts of the world by naval officers and civilian agents, in protecting industry from enemy spies, in promoting new industries and enlarging older ones to meet war-time needs these are a few of the accomplish- ments that are outstanding in the part played by the Navy in winning the war. Shortly after the declaration of war, the submarine problem had become so acute and the merchant ship losses so great, it became necessary to adopt more effective methods in dealing with the problem and making shipping safer. The system of convoy was adopted at the suggestion of President Wilson. This, although it slowed up shipping by fully twenty percent, enabled a comparatively safe passage of troops and was probably the greatest stroke of the Navy during the war. During all the time the United States was engaged in the war the enemy's naval forces, with the exception of the submarines, were blockaded in his ports. This, of course, prevented naval engagements of a major character. The destroyers, submarine chasers and patrol vessels, however, waged an unceasing offensive against the submarine menace to shipping and troop convoy, and only three vessels were sunk. These were the Antilles, the President Lincoln and the Covington. Each was struck on her return voyage, so that the loss of life was comparatively small. Only three fighting vessels were lost as the result of enemy action a patrol ship, a torpedo boat destroyer and a cruiser. The other transports and destroyers struck by the enemy during the war reached port without loss of life. Other Transports carrying United States soldiers went down but these were being convoyed by the British Admiralty. Chief amcng these was the Tuscania, sunk off the Coast of Ireland February 5th, 1918, with a less of 110 lives. The most serious loss of life in the navy as a result of its war-time activity resulted when 111 officers and men of the Coast Guard cutter Tampa perished when their vessel was sunk in Bristol Channel, England, in September, 1918. The Tampa had been doing escort duty in the transport service. It had gone ahead of the convoy and was sunk soon after leaving the party. _- Copyright by Underwood & Underwood. British Flyers "Taking Off" at Dawn for a Trip Over the Linrs and a Few Fokkers. With its record of phenomenal transport service in protecting troops and shipping against the enemy submarine offensive; its splendid co-operation with the British Fleet in keeping the German navy in port and Germany herself blockaded; its stellar work with the giant 14 inch long range guns at the front; and its subsequent spectacular feat in first bridging the Atlantic by air, the United States Navy had a share in the World War which although as previously stated is seldom characterized as brilliantly as that of the Army and Marines, still was equally important and essential in keeping the war wheels turning victoriously. The story of the activities of America's two million doughboys and marines in France is one which should be told in volumes rather than in paragraphs. From the time of their first clash with the Germans on November 3d, 1917, until they "let go" the last unwelcome guests against Fritz's lines early November llth, 1918 their deeds are a succession of courageous and brilliant performances of duty.

Naval Gun, Manned by American Jackies, Pounding Away at Frttz at Several Miles' Range. John J. Pershing declared in commending the officers and soldiers of the line of the American Army. "Their deeds are immortal, and they have earned the eternal gratitude of our country." This simple tribute to the brave American lads who fought and died in France is indicative of America's reverence for her heroic aimies. Their glory and fame will always live by the side of the deeds of their forbears in previous wars. In May, 1917, shortly after war was declared, General Pershing, well-known for his punitive expedition into Mexico, was selected by the War Department to command the American Expeditionary Forces that were to go to France. After gathering about him a small staff the General set sail. His reception in both England and France was only equalled by the readiness of the commanders of both armies to co-operate with the United States in the prosecution of the war, according to the General's own report. His general staff was organized in a short time and detailed plans worked out for the organization and training of the millions of American soldiers who were expected in France to help finish the Hun. Training areas, designed to give the final seasoning to fresh troops arriving from the States before their entry into the front lines, and officers schools for the various arms of the service were established. Extensive construction provided vast warehouses, supply depots, munition store- houses, and the like for the huge task ahead. Although France offered much in the way of both ordnance and quartermaster property for use by the American Army, still enormous quantities of materials of all kinds had to be brought across the Atlantic. Flocking into the Army from civil life were thousands of professional and business men with splendid talent along the lines needed to build up this immense service of supply that was to keep the A. E. F. in action. To meet the shortage of supplies due to lack of shipping, representatives of the various supply departments were constantly in search of supplies and materials in Europe. A general purchasing agency was pro- M ILLUOTIOTEO IHMEW mm iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiini iiijiiimimii imimmiimiiiiimiiiimiiimiiiiimiuiiiiiiiiiiii Copyright by Underwood & Underwood. The Guide Post to Headquarters of the German Field Marshal Being Guardtd by Austrian Soldiers. vided, in order to better co-ordinate the purchasing and to prevent competition between departments of the army. So successful was this system in the American Army that it was almost universally adopted by the armies of the Allies before the war had ended. "Our entry into the war found us with few of the auxiliaries necessary for its conduct in the modern sense," General Pershing declared in his official report. "Among our most importent deficiencies in material were artillery, aviation and tanks. In order to meet our requirements as quickly as possible we accepted the offer of the French Govern- ment to provide us from their own factories with the necessary artillery equipment for thirty divisions. In aviation we were in the same situation and here again the French Government came to our aid until we were able to get our own air service program underway. The necessary planes to train the air service personnel were provided and we secured from the French a total of 2676 pursuit, bombing and observation planes. The first planes to arrive from America came in May, 1918, and a total of 1379 were received during the war. The first American squadron completely equipped by American production, including airplanes, crossed the German lines on August 7th, 1918. For tanks we also were compelled to rely upon the French. We were less fortunate here, however, for the reason that the French were scarcely able to meet their own production require- ments in this respect. It should be remembered by every American that the French Government always took a most liberal attitute in endeavoring to supply the shortages existing in the American Army." Speaking of the soldiers in Europe General Pershing outlines with words of praise the work done by the various welfare organizations and of the responsive attitude found among the soldiers by these organizations. "The welfare of the troops touches my responsibility as Commander-in-Chief to the mothers and fathers and kindred of the men who went to France in the impressionable period of youth. They could not have the privilege accorded the soldiers of Europe Copyright by Underwood & Under-wood. Chateau-Thierry Forever Will be Linked With Most Sacred Memories in America.

Fully realizing that the standard of conduct that should be established for them must have a perma- nent influence on their lives and the character of their future citizenship, the Red Cross, the Young Men's Christian Association, the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation Army and the Jewish Welfare Board, as auxiliaries in this work, were encouraged in every manner possible. The fact that our soldiers, in a land of different customs and language, have borne themselves in a manner in keeping with the cause for which they fought, is due not only to the efforts in their behalf, but much more to other high ideals, their discipline, and their innate sense of self-respect. It should be recorded, however, that the members of these welfare societies have been untiring in their desire to be of real service to our officers and men. The patriotic devotion of these representative men and women has given a new significance to the Golden Rule, and we owe to them a debt of gratitude that can never be entirely repaid." miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiuiiiiii The First Division of the American Army, after finishing its preliminary training behind the lines, went to the trenches for the first time in October, 1917, as the first contribution to the fighting forces of the Allies. By the time that the great German offensive in Picardy began, on March 21st, 1918, the American army had four experienced divisions in the line. The great crisis that this drive developed, however, made it im- possible for the Americans to take over a sector by themselves. Gradually, as their numbers increased and more reserves, fresh from the States, were placed in training behind the lines, the American boys went in in substantial numbers. Already they had displayed their splendid fighting qualities and had demonstrated that as soldiers they had no superiors. Incidentally, it did not take them long to convince the enemy that contrary to their own opinions, they themselves were not invincible. On August 30th, 1918, the American forces took over the first American sector, in preparation for the St. Mihiel offensive. The American line was soon extended across the Meuse River to the west edge of the Argonne Forest. The concentration of tanks, aviation units, artillery equipment, and materials of all kinds for this first great American offensive was enormous. The scores of elements of a complete army were moulded together, with American railroad and American service of supply units throughout. The concentration included the bringing up of approximately 600,000 troops. The French Independent Air Force, together with British bombing units and American Air forces, placed the greatest aviation personnel that ever took part in any Western Front offensive under the direct command of General Pershing. On the day after they had taken the St. Mihiel Salient a great share of the corps and army artillery that had operated in that offensive were on the move toward the area back of the line between the Meuse River and the western edge of the Argonne. The German General Staff was well aware of the consequences of an American success along this line, and it was determined to use every available American division in an effort to force a decision at this point. The attack began on September 26th.

Forcing their way through the densely wooded and shell torn areas, their fight was one of the most brilliant battles of the war. The offensive was maintained until October 4th in the face of innumerable wooded patches of snipers and concealed machine gunners. Fresh troops with little experience were thrown in with their seasoned comrades, who had become veterans over night with this most crucial battle as their teacher. The second phase began with a renewed attack all along the front on October 4th. More positions were taken with a precision and speed that always characterized the Yank army. Their dogged offensive was wearing down the enemy, who, continuing desper- ately by throwing his best troops against them, was helpless before the spectacular advance. At this juncture two divisions were dispatched to Belgium to help the French army near Ypres. On October 23d, the last phase of the Meuse-Argonne offensive began. Violent counter attacks by the enemy lost him heavily, while a regrouping of the Amer- ican force was going on for the final drive. Plain evidences of loss of morale in the enemy forces gave our men added courage and spirit, and finally, using comparatively fresh divisions, the last advance was begun on November 1st. It was apparent at this time that the end was near for the Boche. Our increased artillery support did remarkable work in supporting the infantry, which by its dashing advance of the several weeks preceding had destroyed the Hun's will to resist. Between September 26th and November 6th they had taken 26,059 prisoners and 468 guns on this front. The divisions engaged in this, the most important of America's battles in the Eu- ropean war, were the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 32d, 33d, 35th, 37th, 42d, 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, 82d, 89th, 90th and 91st. Many of these divisions remained in line for a length of time that required nerves of steel while still others were put back in the line after only a few days of rest. When the armistice was signed following a complete routing of the enemy by Amer- icans in the Argonne Forest there were in France, according to General Pershing, ap- proximately 2,053,347 troops, less the casualties. Of this total there were 1,338,169 combatant troops. Up to November 18th the losses were: Killed and wounded, 36,145; died of disease, 14,811; deaths unclassified, 2,204; wounded 179,625; prisoners, 2,163; missing in action 1,160. As against this casualty total, the American forces captured about 44,000 prisoners and 1,400 guns, howitzers and trench mortars. In this short summary of the principal activities of the United States' part in the great war it is obviously impossible to more than skim over the various features of the great war machinery. The heroism and gallantry of the boys who fought and died over there; the unceasing devotion and courage of the parents and citizens at home who stood by them so unselfishly; and the determination of everyone, young and old, to unite for the common cause, setting aside their personal desires and interests, was responsible for the glorious victory in which America was so conspicuously instrumental in bringing about.
