Altogether, Camp Sherman was credited with a total of 123,581 inducted men during the years 1917 and 1918. Of this total received at the camp, Ohio was credited with 83,203, Pennsylvania with 12,173, Indiana with 5,500, Tennessee with 5,304, while 14,057 were sent there from other camps. Approximately 30,000 Ohioans were inducted at the camp between September 1st and November 1st. These constituted the bulk of the raw material which went into the making of the Eighty-third Division. Camp Sherman's chief function was the training of the Eighty-third Division. After the Eighty-third moved overseas about June, 1918, the camp became the headquarters for the Eighty-fourth Division under Maj.-Gen. Harry C. Hale. The Eighty-fourth was moved from Camp Taylor, and served as a replacement division, its ranks being constantly depleted and then filled up with new recruits. Thus during the months of June to October, 1918, some 30,000 men from Ohio were inducted and were in training with the Eighty-fourth organization. The first unit to leave Camp Sherman for overseas, going about Christmas, 1917, was the Four Hundred and Eighth Motor Supply Train, made up of six companies, the men being picked so as to represent almost every county of Ohio. The principal units of the Eighty-third Division, in training during the winter of 1917-1918, were : Headquarters Troop, Three Hundred and Twenty-ninth Infantry, Three Hundred and Thirtieth Infantry, Three Hundred and Thirty-first Infantry, Three Hundred and Thirty-second Infantry, Three Hundred and Twenty-second Machine Gun Battalion, Three Hundred and Twenty-third Machine Gun Battalion, Three Hundred and Twenty-fourth Machine Gun Battalion, Three Hundred and Twenty-second Field Artillery, Three Hundred and Twenty-third Field Artillery, Three Hundred and Twenty-fourth Field Artillery, Heavy, Three Hundred and Eighth Trench Mortar Battery, Three Hundred and Eighth Engineers, Three Hundred and Eighth Field Signal Battalion, Three Hundred and Nineteenth Field Signal Battalion, Three Hundred and Twenty-fifth Field OHIO IN THE WARS OF THE NATION - 659 Signal Battalion, Four Hundred and Third Telegraph Battalion, Three Hundred and Eighth Military Police, Three Hundred and Eighth Ammunition Train, Three Hundred and Eighth Sanitary Train, One Hundred and Fifty-eighth Depot Brigade. In the first two officers' training schools, most of the candidates came direct from civilian life. After that it became possible, and seemed a better policy from a military standpoint, to select the candidates from the ranks of men already with the colors. Therefore, when the Third Reserve Officers' Training Camp, Eighty-third Division, was opened at Camp Sherman, January 5, 1918, out of the 726 candidates for commissions as second lieutenant, 542 were "selects" chosen from the ranks of inducted men. Camp Sherman had its full quota of auxiliary organizations. The Red Cross, Masons, Daughters of the American Revolution, Young Women's Christian Association, and the cities of Cincinnati and Columbus each put up a building in the Community group. There were a church, Young Men's Christian Association and Knights of Columbus "huts," and a movie theatre. Every Wednesday the Eighty-third Division News was published from the plant of the Columbus Dispatch. There were football, basket ball and baseball teams. America entered the World war less than twenty years after its war with Spain over Cuba. The heaviest loss in that brief struggle came from disease. The lesson was well learned in the interval. The sanitary and medical safeguards provided for the armies in home camps and overseas accounted for a large part of the tremendous cost of the war. Nevertheless, sickness and disease are omnipresent ; morbidity is inescapable in the private home or army camp. The report of the surgeon-general in the annual reports of the War Department in 1919 is descriptive of conditions in the various cantonments from the point of view of the sanitary and medical staff of the army. Many important facts concerning Camp Sherman, amplifying and supplementing those given above, are contained in this report, of which the following is an abstract of the essential points : Camp Sherman is located on the plain of the Scioto River just outside the city limits of Chillicothe. The soil is sand and gravel' overlain with a thin stratum of clay. The drainage is toward the river, although in many places the ground is low and required extensive ditching. This was a National Army camp. The first troops were from Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. Most of them during 1917 were from Ohio. There were 1,105 from Oklahoma. The strength for the month of December was approximately 34,500. The Eighty-third Division was organized here and moved overseas about June, 1918. After this division left, the camp was used as a replacement camp, and was filled with increments of drafted men, the largest percentage of them coming from Ohio. The maximum strength was for the month of July, when there were approximately 36,000 men in the camp for the month. The troops were quartered in frame barrack buildings. There were accommodations for 2,664 officers and 39,743 men. There was also provision for 1,833 patients at the base hospital, allowing fifty square feet for each man. During the latter part of 1918 construction work was begun to accommodate 1,800 additional men, making a total capacity of 45,840. During August at one time it was necessary to quarter some units in tents and 3,000 colored men in stables that belonged to the remount depot. The barracks buildings were the standard two-story cantonment camp type, accommodating 150 to 200 men. When the maximum of 200 was reached, it was necessary to use the kitchen and mess halls as sleeping quarters. The water supply was obtained from five 8-inch cased wells. The supply was always ample, and the quality excellent, though on account of occasional contamination the entire supply was chlorinated. The buildings were all supplied with modern plumbing and equipment. The 660 - HISTORY OF OHIO sewer system consisted of ten miles of piping, from 8 to 30 inches in diameter. On account of the flat surface of the ground there was considerable trouble with the drainage. The food supply of the camp was under the constant supervision of the camp sanitary inspector, who made careful inspections of all dairy and milk supplies, abattoirs, and local retail and wholesale markets. The quality and quantity of the food in the camp was satisfactory. The preparation and cooking was under the direct supervision and control of the school for cooks and bakers. The food also received the attention of the nutrition officer, proper instruction as to balancing the diet being given by him. During the year 1918 there were 46,319 admissions to the hospitals, the rate being 1,668.01. The camp stands seventh in the list of camps for admissions. In the month of January the rate was 1,526.40. The rate increased during the month of February, with a still further increase in the month of March, some decline in April, and a decided decline in June. The rate then increased during successive months until it reached the rate of 2,899.6 in October, the influenza month of the camp. The rise in admission rate during the first few months of the year was due to a large number of cases of influenza, "other respiratory diseases" and mumps. Camp Sherman had the unenviable reputation of standing at the head of the list of camps for deaths that occurred among enlisted men for diseases contracted during the year. The total number of deaths was 1,260, the rate being 45.37 (per thousand). For the month of January it was 10.87. It declined in February but increased in March, when it was 17.95. There was a considerable decrease until the low point of 1.72 was reached in July. The high rate for the camp was in the month of October, when there were 778 deaths reported, with a rate of 278.95. During the month of September it was also very high, the rate being 126.57. The leading cause of death in October was reported as broncho-pneumonia. Probably most of these cases were influenza-pneumonias. Influenza, which had appeared in the camp during the latter part of 1917 and had been constantly increasing, continued to increase throughout the first part of 1918 until the month of April, when there were 1,265 cases reported. In September the cases of influenza (uncomplicated) totaled 1,358, while in October the total rose to 4,118. During the influenza epidemic, it became necessary, owing to the base hospital being filled to capacity, to turn about fifty of the ordinary barracks buildings into wards for the reception of the less serious cases. During this epidemic the entire camp was herd under a rigid quarantine from the surrounding country. No public gatherings of any description were permitted, all amusement places, post exchanges, Young Men's Christian Association community houses, etc., were closed ; draftees were not sent to the camp; all transfers out of the camp were discontinued. Those persons coming in contact with patients suffering from this disease, including ambulance drivers and patients en route to the base hospital, were masked. The usual precautionary measures were taken to prevent overcrowding throughout the entire camp, and men were warned not to congregate, and to remain out of doors as much as possible. EDWIN FORBES GLENN A name that will for all time be prominently associated with Camp Sherman and Ohio's contribution to the World war is that of Gen. Edwin Forbes Glenn. In the years 1905-1907, while he was still a major in the Regular Army, he was in command at the Columbus barracks.' Here his genial personality, splendid physique and soldierly bearing at once attracted attention. Major Glenn was more than the OHIO IN THE WARS OF THE NATION - 661 mere army officer. He was, and evidently had been through previous years, a student, a reader of many books, who delighted in his leisure hours to visit the libraries of Columbus, including especially the Public, School and State libraries. He was a patron of all of these, and their records showed him to be a reader of substantial' books—history, biography, and the peace movement seemed to interest him most. At the State Library his inquiry often would be: "Have you anything new from the writers who propose to end war ?" • And he would sometimes add, "I notice that a new book has been published on this subject and am wondering whether you will have it later." The major did not discuss the subject of universal peace; and one who met him casually might riot have known what his own views were. A friend said to him one day in a jocular way : "Major, the peace movement is making rapid progress. It looks as if in the not distant future the United States army might be disposed of finally. There is only one sad thought that arises in the minds of your friends in contemplating this possibility.. What will become of Major Glenn and other fine fellows in the military service when the war drums beat no longer and the battle flags are furled ?' We shall probably have to send them to Congress or elect them governors of the different states." This would bring a very broad smile to the face of the, major, for he had a sense of humor that is none too common among army officers. In a serious mood he said one day : "Matters do move slowly in the military department of the government. I doubt at times whether I shall ever reach the rank of colonel." In the years that the major spent in Columbus he made many friends and there was general regret when he was called from this military post. The major was mistaken in the thought that he might never reach the rank of colonel. Promotions continued to come slowly until the outbreak of the World war, when they were rapid, and the major of 1905 to 1907 became a major general in command of Camp Sherman, to the great satisfaction of the citizens of Columbus and Ohio generally. In this position he stood out most prominently as the military leader in Ohio's World war preparations and activities. It is therefore worth while to sketch somewhat in detail the life of General Glenn. He was born near Greensboro, North Carolina, January 10, 1857, where he was educated in a preparatory school and later at Ossining, New York. He was graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1877. His successive military promotions were: Second lieutenant, 25th Infantry, June 15, 1877; first lieutenant, December 4, 1884; captain, July 5, 1895 ; major, Fifth Infantry, April 22, 1901; lieutenant colonel, Twenty-third Infantry, January 1, 1907; colonel, March 11, 1911 brigadier general, May 15, 1917; major general, National Army, August 5, 1917. From 1896 to 1898 he was judge advocate, Department of Dakota and Department of Columbia; 1898 to 1899 in command of exploring and relief expeditions to Alaska; 1900, judge advocate, Department of Visayas, Philippine Islands.; 1905-1907, commandant at Columbus army barracks ; 1907 to 1911, lieutenant colonel of the Twenty-third Infantry, - and went again to the Philippines ; 1911 to 1913, colonel of the Twenty-third Infantry ; was with the War College 1913 to 1914; chief of staff, Department of the East, 1914 to 1916; in command of the Eighteenth Infantry and First Separate Brigade, at Deming, New Mexico, during the trouble on the Mexican border, 1916 to 1917; in command of the first officers training school at Fort Benjamin Harrison ; August 5, 1917, promoted to major general and on August 27 arrived at Camp Sherman, where he organized the camp and the Eighty-third Division ; January, 1918, was sent overseas for observation at various fronts and returned in April of that year ; accompanied overseas and was in command of the Eighty-third Division, A. E. F., from June, 1918; organized and commanded Second Replacement Depot and Training 662 - HISTORY OF OHIO Center at Le Mans and Sarthe, France ; commanded demobilization at Camp Sherman, February, 1919. In December, 1919, General Glenn at his own request was retired from the Regular Army. He now resides at Glendon, North Carolina. A number of institutions have given him honorary degrees, including Kenyon College, Ohio University and Mt. Union College. General Glenn must have felt much at home at Camp Sherman, which was located at Chillicothe and accessible to Columbus, where he had served as commandant and where, as already stated, he had a wide circle of friends. Not only did he devote himself industriously to the building up of the Eighty-third Division and other activities that came in the line of duty, but he manifested a sincere interest in all movements designed for the comfort and intellectual and moral welfare of the men under his command. He was generous in his responses to calls to attend the great meetings in Columbus, where he always spoke briefly and effectively in favor of raising funds for war activities. Any movement in behalf of the men under him had his sympathetic approval. The Young Men's Christian Association, Knights of Columbus and other religious organizations were cordially welcomed to Camp Sherman, as was also the American Library Association, that soon established there a library service for the soldiers. While General Glenn was a thorough disciplinarian, he never forgot the viewpoint of the man in the ranks. A story was told of him, which has probably been told of other commanding officers, and which, whether true or imaginary, illustrates a trait of the General's character. It is said that in the twilight of an autumn evening a recruit who had been in uniform but a few days and who was hungry for a "smoke," went up to the General, whose rank he did not notice, and, without saluting, asked for a match. The General smiled and handed him the match. Some of the companions of the recruit told him of the awful blunder he had made in thus addressing the commanding officers, and the boy went at once to the General, saluted and apologized. "That's all right, my boy," said the General, "but be very careful that you do not make that mistake with a second lieutenant." It was General Glenn's ambition to go with the Eighty-third Division overseas. In this he was not disappointed. He hoped to keep the division intact and command it as a combat unit. This hope was not realized. The Eighty-third Division was used for replacement purposes, but wherever the men saw service the results of their thorough training at Camp Sherman were manifest. General Glenn in his retirement has every reason to look back with satisfaction upon his contribution to the World war, when he recalls the large number of young officers that had their training under him .at Fort Benjamin Harrison; the fine equipment of the division he led overseas ; the large number of his friends and acquaintances in Ohio ; and the thousands of young men who served under him, and their parents, in whose memories of the. World war he will ever stand as an ideal soldier, an inspiring commander and a genial personality. ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES IN THE STATE FOR THE WORLD WAR Governor Cox on April 17, 1917, appointed Dr. W. O. Thompson, Alfred Vivian, Clark S. Wheeler, all connected with Ohio State University; Fred C. Croxton, of the Ohio Institute for Public Efficiency ; L. J. Taber, master of the Ohio Grange, and C. G. Williams, of the State Agricultural Experiment Station, as a group to promote increased crop acreage, food production, and food conservation. This committee, appointed before the planting of spring crops, performed a most important service prior to the creation of the Ohio Branch of the Council of National Defense. As the work of this group expanded and the necessity for activities OHIO IN THE WARS OF THE NATION - 663 other than agricultural production and employment came to view, the formal creation of the Ohio Branch, Council of National Defense, was accomplished by the governor. This Ohio Branch, unlike councils in some states, had no legal status conferred by act of Congress or the state Legislature, but functioned as a war cabinet advisory to the governor. The state council operated with the cooperation of state departments, the Woman's Committee, local defense councils and other war units, and such auxiliary war agencies as the Red Cross, Federal employment service and Federal food and fuel administrations. The funds for the work came primarily from the emergency war appropriation of $250,000, elsewhere noted, and additional allowances made by the state emergency board. The Ohio Branch, Council of National Defense, was created June 1, 1917. The full membership of the council comprised the following Ohio citizens : Governor James M. Cox, Columbus ; A. A. Augustus, Cleveland ; S. P. Bush, Columbus ; James E. Campbell, Columbus ; M. J. Caples, Columbus ; Fred C. Croxton, Columbus ; M. R. Denver, Wilmington ; Thomas J. Donnelly, Columbus, Frank P. Donnenwirth, Bucyrus ; C. M. Eikenberry, Hamilton ; James W. Faulkner, Columbus ; Paul L. Feiss, Cleveland ; James L. Fieser, Cleveland ; H. S. Firestone, Akron ; John P. Frey, Cincinnati ; Gen. J. Warren Keifer, Springfield ; B. H. Kroger, Cincinnati; John Moore, Columbus; Frank E. Myers, Ash- land ; Joseph R. Nutt, Cleveland ; John J. Quinlivan, Toledo ; S. 0. Richardson, Toledo ; D. J. Ryan, Columbus ; Dr. C. E. Sawyer, Marion ; J. V. B. Scarborough, Cincinnati ; W. S. Scarborough, Wilberforce ; Miss Belle Sherwin, Columbus ; W. S. Stone, Cleveland ; L. J. Taber, Barnesville ; Col. H. E. Talbott, Dayton ; Dr. W. O. Thompson, Columbus ; W. W. Thornton, Akron ; David Tod, Youngstown ; James Wilson, Cincinnati. The primary purpose of the committee appointed by the governor at the beginning of the war was to increase food production. One of the familiar slogans was, "Food Will Win the War." The United States Food Administration had its origin in the organization formed by Herbert Hoover at the request of the President in May, 1917, after the terms of the food and fuel control bill, generally known as the Lever bill, had been outlined substantially in the form in which they were adopted. The act was approved August 10, 1917, and under it the Food Administration proceeded to complete a nation wide organization, including the appointment of Federal food administrators for each state. Meanwhile the group first appointed by the governor and a committee on food conservation and supply subsequently chosen from the Ohio Branch, Council of National Defense, in cooperation with the College of Agriculture and the Department of Agricultural Extension, had given impetus to the campaign for intensive production and conservation of the food supply. With the establishment of the Federal food administration in Ohio in September, 1917, Fred C. Croxton became state food administrator and held that post throughout the war period. Clark' S. Wheeler was the organizer of the agricultural activities of the State Council. Estimates compiled by the state board of agriculture showed a corn crop in Ohio in 1917 of 122,204,661 bushels as compared with 96,352,296 bushels in 1916. The potato crop for 1917 was estimated at 11,802,020 bushels as against 5,460,008 in 1916. The main drive in 1917 was for production of these two staples, corn and potatoes. In 1916 there were planted in Ohio to wheat over 1,620,000 acres, the yield being well toward 24,000,000 bushels ; in 1917 there was an increase of about 250,000 acres and 17,220,000 bushels ; and in 1918 there was a further increase of 420,000 acres and 2,085,000 bushels. At the same 664 - HISTORY OF OHIO time, bulletins, lectures, and other agencies were appealing to every home in the state for the conservation and more economical use of food. INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS AND EMPLOYMENT COMMITTEE Under this division the State Council performed some of its most effective war work. The committee determined that there should be no suspension of the existing labor protective statutes in Ohio, and that laws protecting the health of women and children in industry should be vigorously enforced in the state. In "A History of the Activities of the Ohio Branch, Council of National Defense, 1 the following statement is made in regard to the work of this committee : "Unquestionably much industrial unrest and countless labor difficulties were averted in Ohio by reason of the consistent support given the committee's formulated policies by organized management (through the Ohio Manufacturers Association) and by organized labor (through the Ohio State Federation of Labor, United Mine Workers of Ohio, and allied organizations). * * * Members of the committee on labor and industrial relations, on special assignment, assisted in the adjustment of labor disputes, both threatened and actual." This work became a function of the National War Labor Board after it was created April 8, 1918. Under a plan outlined by Fred C. Croxton and approved by the governor, fourteen new employment offices had been opened by May 1917. During the season of 1917 nearly 6,000 laborers were placed on the farms, and special campaigns were made for supplying farm labor during 1918. Through the state-city employment service as thus instituted, more than 24,000 workers were furnished for the construction of Camp Sherman at Chillicothe. The state employment service also cooperated in the registration of volunteers under the United States Public Service Reserve and the United States Boys' Working Reserve. A considerable part of the Ohio Employment Service staff spent several weeks at Washington in the summer of 1918 to perfect a nation wide employment service. As a result of this conference, on August 1, 1918, the United States Employment Service took over the entire task of recruiting unskilled labor for war industries. In conjunction, were set up Federal community labor boards to select those industries which could spare labor without affecting the National program and bring about the withdrawal from those industries of a fair share of labor as it was needed in urgent war work. The first such board in Ohio was organized at Columbus in September to supply the labor needed to complete the huge government storage depot at East Columbus before winter. These community labor boards continued to discharge important duties even after the cessation of hostilities, and the employment service in general had to assume responsibilities in connection with the problem of great numbers released from war industries and of the returned soldiers. From May 1, 1917, to December 31, 1918, a total of 564,570 workers were reported as placed by the employment offices of the state, that being an average of 1,129 per working day. These included 12,657 placements on farms. Of the total 405,867 were men, and 158,703 women. We quote again from "A History of the Activities of the Ohio Branch, Council of National Defense" 2 "During the war period the greatest service rendered by the Employment Service was that of affording protection to necessary war industries. Under the authority possible only in a Federal organization, 1 - Page 65. 2 - Page 115. OHIO IN THE WARS OF THE NATION - 665 Eastern war firms were time and time again prevented from 'pirating' in Ohio labor markets at a time when Ohio war industries were themselves in sore straits for men. Every day for a long period brought dozens of urgent requests and demands for hundreds and even thousands of workers from Ohio. It was possible to deny these requests through an organization ready at all times to show the needs. of Ohio employers and the importance of Ohio activities.. This policy effectively put a stop to the attempts of unscrupulous labor agents." FUEL As the result of an exhaustive report on coal supply and prices, drawn up by the committee on mines and mining of the State Council, a State Coal Clearance House was established July 25, 1917, under the direction of John M. Roan. The Clearance House ceased its functions as part of the activities of the State Council on October 16, 1917, when the control of the fuel situation passed to Homer H. Johnson, the Federal fuel administrator for Ohio. In the meantime the Clearance House had undertaken a survey of the fuel needs of the state, had supervised the distribution of the fuel needed by the public utilities and had taken some steps to insure an adequate supply of Ohio coal for home use. . It had also made special effort to expedite the movement of coal from the mines to destination by rail ; to assist dealers in securing coal, where urgent demands were reported ; to trace cars and force prompt unloading of coal cars ; and to control the maximum retail prices charged, pending the establishment of such prices by the Government. LEGAL ASSISTANCE TO SERVICE MEN AND THEIR DEPENDENTS In response to an appeal from the Federal Government in March, 1918, a Legal Sub-committee of the Ohio Branch, Council of National Defense, was constituted, consisting of Edward C. Kibler, Sr., chairman, Paul Howland, T. J. Keating, Attorney-General Joseph McGhee, and A. B. Williams, Jr., representing the American Red Cross, Civilian Relief. This committee in April, 1918, appointed local legal committees in each county, taking over bodily the extensive organization of legal advisory boards in draft districts already established, and joining with these boards representatives of the home service section of the American Red Cross in all localities. The success of this cooperation is reported as follows : The organization in Ohio of local Legal Committees, appointed jointly by the Ohio Branch, Council of National Defuse, and the American Red Cross, was unique and has served as a model for several other states. Its value has been in the equalization of practically all volunteer legal talent in the local communities to help the men with the colors, and their dependents, and the committees have been uniformly industrious in fulfilling their. obligations." 3 WAR CHEST In financing the work of war organizations, as well as supplying the National Government with the "sinews of war" through the marketing of the successive Liberty Loans and the sale of war savings stamps, Ohio acquitted itself with distinctive credit. There was generous response to the appeals from the Red Cross for money and during the United War Work campaign. Above all, Ohio was the outstanding "War Chest" state of the Union, with some sixty communities organized for collective giving of funds for war relief. At the close of the war a 3 - "A History of the Activities of the Ohio Branch, Council of National Defense," p. 161. 666 - HISTORY OF OHIO tabulation showed that sixty-one war chests had been filled in as many Ohio communities, representing a population of nearly 3,250,000, and a total voluntary subscription of more than $37,000,000. Ohio was one of the latest states to undertake, from headquarters of the State Council, the organizations of county and community councils of defense, partly due to the fact that the proposed program of work assigned to such local councils had been taken over by other agencies, and also "The fact that Ohio early became a 'War Chest' state, with county and community war chests—whose organization, personnel and methods paralleled in some respects very closely a county council of defense, and, in any event, made unwise and impracticable in most communities the formation of another general war community organization." On June 30, 1918, there was established a Division of County and Community Organization, Ohio Branch, Council of National Defense, with Dr. R. M. Hughes of Miami University, succeeded by S. J. Brandenburg, also of Miami. At the close of the year Mr. Brandenburg reported fifty-five counties. well organized for carrying out the program of the council, sixteen counties less well organized, and seventeen "in not quite so satisfactory a condition." WOMAN'S COMMITTEE The Woman's Committee was created by the Council of National Defense In April, 1917, with Dr. Anna Howard Shaw as national chairman. Mrs. George Zimmerman of Fremont was appointed the temporary chairman to organize the Ohio state division of the Woman's Committee. Her appointment was confirmed by election in June, 1917. She was succeeded in December, 1917, by Miss Belle Sherwin, who served as state chairman to the end of the war. The general committee comprised the presidents of all state organizations of women together with representatives of all national organizations, numbering fifty in all. Before the end of the war county organizations had been completed in seventy-eight counties, and there were also twelve independent city units. The purpose and work of the Woman's Committee is set forth in the following testimonial : "The purpose of the Woman's Committee was to coordinate the patriotic activities of all women and women's organizations, so that efficiency might be promoted, and overlapping and waste effort eliminated. By the association together of all women's organizations, including leaders among unorganized women, the Mile and energy of women not usually engaged in public service was placed at the service of the Government. * * * The program of the Woman's Committee was concerned with matters of home defense and social welfare rather than with affairs more immediately connected with the prosecution of the war in Europe. The far-sighted program outlined at the beginning of the war was changed but little, and proved so constructive and valuable as to deserve continuance through the period of reconstruction until the work could be shifted to peace-time agencies." 4 The departments of work which were organized in the local units followed, in general, the plan proposed by the committee at Washington, but in the large cities much initiative was displayed in the development of additional departments to meet local needs. Several cities developed a motor service which was placed at the service of social agencies. In Cleveland the department for maintaining social service agencies organized a series of courses for the training of volunteers for such work, and in the same city four community centers were opened in foreign sections to carry on Americanization work. 4 - "A History of the Activities of Ohio Branch, Council of National Defense," p. 28. OHIO IN THE WARS OF THE NATION - 667 The scope of the service rendered by the Woman's Committee in Ohio is briefly indicated by noting the principal departments. Department of Food, for increasing and conserving food supply ; 72 counties, 9 independent city units, and 910 towns and townships were organized for food work. Department of Child Welfare, which among other things, directed the Children's Year program beginning in April, 1918. Department of Educational Propaganda, to assist in war publicity. Department of Nursing, to enlist young women in nursing as a war service and to increase the facilities for nurses' training. Department of Training Classes, whose primary purpose was to awaken women to active interest in the educational equipment of their community. Department of Women and Children in Industry, for safeguarding the health and welfare of wage-earning women. Other lines of activities directed by or under the auspices of the Woman's Committee included : Promotion of recreation facilities in camp communities, and to support protective work for women and girls ; a milk survey, made in thirty-three counties during January, 1918; a fuel survey, conducted in forty-six counties in May, 1918; assistance in the United War Work campaign and the various Liberty Loan drives. The formal disbandment of the Ohio Branch, Council of National Defense, was made by Governor Cox, as chairman, on December 31, 1918. In the course of his announcement the governor said : "In dismantling this organization, so carefully built up and so creditable in achievement, it is our. purpose that no phase of constructive work which should be continued, shall be lost. Permanent agencies of the state government will undertake to carry on with some of these activities. Some departments of the Woman's Committee of the State Council must go straight on to the completion of tasks now before them. It would be disastrous for such local committees as the groups on Americanization or the local legal committees which are assisting returning. soldiers and sailors, to discontinue their activities before their job is finished. The war workers of Ohio have made their contribution to Victory, and to the new era. The obligation of the state to them cannot be measured or expressed in terms of gratitude and praise." 5 On September 6, 1918, the custom was inaugurated by Governor Cox, of sounding taps throughout the State of Ohio, at approximately the same time taps were sounded for the soldier boys across the seas on the fighting front. A special ceremony on that day, on the west side of the statehouse, marked the initiation of this solemn rite of remembrance, and celebrated as well the birthday of Lafayette. Twenty-four buglers sounded the good-night call. From the battle front over the seas came a cablegram from Gen. John J. Pershing, commander of the American forces, paying a tribute to the touching thought underlying the observance. From that time on, until the 1st of the year 1919, every day at 5:30 p. m. a bugler sounded the call from the entrance of the statehouse, and the same custom was observed at nearly every courthouse in the State of Ohio. The War Loan organization of the Treasury Department was created in April, 1917, to conduct the sale and distribution of Liberty Bonds. Each. Federal reserve district had complete control over all Liberty Loan activities in its own territory. The first Liberty Loan, to the amount of $2.,000,000,000, was offered May 14, 1917, and the campaign closed June 15th. The oversubscription throughout the country was nearly 52 per cent. The second issue was offered October 1, 1917, and when the sale stopped October 27th, the oversubscription was 54 per cent. The third Liberty Loan campaign ran from April 6th to May 4, 1918, and the issue was oversubscribed nearly 40 per cent. 5 - “A History of the Activities of the Ohio Branch, Council of National Defense," p. 15. 668 - HISTORY OF OHIO The largest issue was the fourth, the sum invited being $6,000,000,000. The sales campaign ran from September 28 to October 19, 1918, the oversubscription being 16 per cent. The Victory Loan, limited to $4,500,000,000, was oversubscribed also about 16 per cent. The campaign ran from April 21 to May 10, 1919. In every campaign, except the first and the fifth, Ohio "went over the top" by excess subscriptions greater than for the country at large. In the following figures are given, first, the amount of Ohio's quota, second the total subscription and cash sales, and third the number of subscribers in the state :

The American Legion was organized by representatives from the American Expeditionary Forces at Paris in March, 1919, an executive committee of 100 being selected. A caucus of delegates representing troops in the United States was held at St. Louis, May 8-10, 1919, when a temporary constitution was adopted and general policies defined. The Paris and St. Louis executive committees were consolidated May 23d. The first national convention of the Legion was held at Minneapolis in November, 1919. The Ohio branch of the American Legion was organized at Columbus April 22, 1919. Col. F. W. Galbraith was elected the first temporary and permanent chairman. The end of the World war had two celebrations—the first on November 7, 1918, on receipt of news that the armistice had been signed. This report was afterwards found to be false. The second celebration was on the day- of the actual signing of the armistice, November 11, 1918. The celebration on November 7th was spontaneous and enthusiastic. The news that the war was actually at an end came suddenly and thrilled every section of the United States. Work was suspended the people by one impulse in villages and cities poured forth to join in demonstrations of enthusiastic joy. Whistles blew, bells rang, sirens shrieked, and many were the improvised devices for increasing the clangor and mighty uproar. No pen can adequately describe this demonstration, which will live vividly in the minds of those who witnessed it. One writer has left the following record of his impressions : "The outpouring of emotion that followed the receipt of the false news of peace made no reduction in the volume of demonstrations which greeted the news of the actual signing of the armistice in Foch's railway car on November 11th. If on this day the spirit was somewhat different, the jubilations over the real surrender somewhat more standardized and lacking the millenial-dawn spirit which possessed everybody when the premature report held currency, it was a celebration whose like we shall scarcely ever see again. The first demonstration had been a sort of rehearsal for the second." This general statement applied to Ohio. In many villages and cities there seemed to be the resolve systematically to surpass the first spontaneous demonstration. The news reached Ohio very early in the morning of the 11th. People were awakened from their slumbers by screaming whistles and clanging bells. Early in the morning homes and business places were elaborately decked with flags and streamers and banners. This time patriotic and grateful citizens had a full day for the demonstrations. From sunrise to sunset there were processions of marchers and the air was vibrant with music that was often OHIO IN THE WARS OF THE NATION - 669 drowned by discordant clangors and the noise of many-throated horns. Almost to midnight streets were thronged, bands played and confetti was showered down upon the multitude. The war at last was ended beyond doubt, and for the whole country the days of anxiety and apprehension were at an end. A feeling of relief and joy came with, this realization and the faith that an era of lasting peace was dawning. Soon the soldiers were homeward bound and receiving the plaudits of relatives and friends who thronged forth to greet them. Though the losses of the American forces in the World war were comparatively small, the aggregate number who died from disease and were killed in battle was 120,000. While many rejoiced at the return of friends and relatives in whom they were especially interested, there was sadness in the hearts of others whose loved ones did not return. The following lines are in a measure descriptive of these home-comings in Columbus, Ohio's capital, and other cities of the state : The drum and fife are passing by ; A remnant leads the grand review Who wore, as still they wear, the blue And kept Old Glory in the sky. Behind the Old Guard come the men With helmets grim and bristling steel, Elate and fit from head to heel, Our young crusaders home again. I watch them pass and I would fain Believe the past an evil dream And see beneath some helmet beam His genial face ; I look in vain ! He will not come to greet me here ; Though bands their stirring numbers play, My thoughts are with him far away ; I sigh and half forget to cheer. But when I f eel his spirit near, I sway with music of the band, And I applaud with voice and hand As would my friend if he were here. "THE UNRETURNING BRAVE" Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker is reported to have said that the real heroes of the World war were those who made the supreme sacrifice, who gave their lives in the service of their country. To this class belong more than 6,500 of the khaki-clad boys of Ohio, who won the golden star in the greatest of all the wars of history and in the supreme effort to win a peace, which we fondly trust shall be perpetual.
