The executive committee included Samuel G. Tompkins, chairman; Arthur M. Free, campaign manager ; S. W. Waterhouse, Hen- ry M. Ayer, D. J. Flannery. Karl Stull, W. T. Rambo, Alexander Sheriffs, Judge W. A. Beasly and A. P. Murgotten, secretary.

On May 9, 1917, the San Jose chapter of the Red Cross met at the Chamber of Com- merce to arrange for the coming drive. The Chamber of Commerce, by Joseph T. Brooks, secretary, offered the use of a room in the building for headquarters and the services of the office force

Hiram A. Blanchard, with the assistance of 150 girls, compiled a roster of 10,000 names for the assistance of the campaigners. A club women's committee under the direction of Mrs. W. B. Irish was appointed and Alrs. Stull, publicity : Arthur Holmes, round up ; Mrs. W. B. Irish, musical entertainment; D. J. Flannery, waste paper; H. A. Blanchard, cards, etc .; L. M. Simonson, treasurer and cashier ; committee on lodges and societies, W. G. Alexander, W. F. Curry, Ed Distel ; newspapers, Sheldon Wills, J. O. Hayes, H.

L. Baggerly, Buel Anderson ; stunts, Jay Mc- Cabe, R. O. Bell, Alvin Long ; outside press, Alvin Long; pulpits, Arthur M. Free; theat- ers. Gene Rosenthal; schools, J. E. Hancock, C. M. Osenbaugh, M. E. Dailey, Alexander Sheriffs.

Then the publicity committee worked over- time. Full page ads appeared in all the pap- ers. No one will ever forget the immense Red Cross poster that lifted against the sky on top of the First National Bank Building .. With its statue of Liberty and pertinent ques- tion "Will you fight or give?" no one could escape it. It veritably "shouted from the housetops!" Then team captains were chos- en. Those selected for the work of raising the mercy fund were D. M. Burnett, Henry G. Hill, John P. Fitzgerald, Dr. Charles M. Rich- ards, Charles M. O'Brien, S. W. Waterhouse, Richard Bressani, John J. Jones, Judge F. B. Brown and Herbert Jones.

San Jose had $100,000 to raise and 200 workers for the job. Karl Stull chalked re- turns on his blackboard and the first day's ef- fort went down as $14,600. Just then Jack Graham's war song, "We'll Fight for Yankee Doodle," made its appearance and became a feature during the Red Cross drive, being used by theater orchestras and bands all over the country. Lodges contributed liber- ally; there were all kinds of benefits for the Red Cross. Mrs. B. E. Laughlin wrote and personally supervised the beautiful presenta- tion of a children's cantata, "An Evening in Dreamland." The charms of the dreamland were enhanced by pupils of Miss Hughes and Helbert Hitching, who gave a program of dances, and the pupils of Mrs. Theresa Par- ker and Prof. De Lorenzo, who gave voices of song to fairyland.

The never-to-be forgotten pageant was a gigantic Red Cross benefit, staged by 1500 performers and witnessed by more than 5000 people on June 1. The pageant of history and allegory was written by Miss Helen Stock- ing, with music by Miss Ruth Cornell. and song verse by Clarence Urmy. Joseph E. Hancock, president of the Drama Association, was responsible for the pageant, which was given under the directing genius of Garnet Holme.

Alexander P. Murgotten, secretary of the committee, donated needed office supplies and the Argall brothers quartet volunteered their services for the entire Red Cross campaign. Frank Sabatelli's gift for the cause of human- ity should not be forgotten. Ilis subscription was $100, and he was only earning $2 a day as a common laborer. The largest single con- tribution was secured by D. M. Burnett's team-$2500 given by the estate of E. Mc-

Laughlin. The waste paper campaign, en- gineered by Dan Flannery, was a valuable as- set in the final computation of funds. The women's team under Mrs. Lilian Arnold turned in over $2000. Hundreds of dollars were given at a mass meeting at the Victory Theater. The speaker was Lieutenant Golds- worthy, a wounded soldier.

On the night of June 27. San Joseans were astonished to see the lights in the cross on the tower of the First Methodist Church turn from white to red. Rev. W. L. Stidger, the pastor, gave the following explanation: "1 consider that lighted cross turning its face north, east, south and west as the symbol not only of that Christ who died for liberty and freedom, but I also feel that it symbolizes in an especial way the light that the whole Red Cross movement is, spreading in the dark places of the earth in these cruel war times.' Paul D. Cambino, whose services for the changing of these lights were lent by the Blake Electrical Company, did his "bit" in this unique transformation. Cambino had never climbed a tower. The wind was blow- ing, too, but he swallowed his fear, climbed to the top and made the change.

Sunday morning, June 24, the final appeal of the campaign was made. Spontaneously, patriotically, whole-heartedly, the appeal was answered and all day Monday the dollars rolled in. Monday afternoon and evening Manager Clover, of the T. & D. Theater, gave the entire proceeds to the Red Cross. W. E. Johnson and the Argalls sang; llelbert Hit- ching presented an attractive program of dances: an orchestra composed of members of local union No. 153, under the direction of Carl Fitzgerald, volunteered their services ; Joseph Blum, manager of the Jose Theater, lent two of his best acts; Judge E. M. Rosen- thal acted as stage director. Jay McCabe's able committee sold candy. The only thing they were not able to do was to make change! These patriotically energetic salesmen who forgot their arithmetic under Jay's direction were: W. L. Prussia, Ernest Lion, Henry Hirsch, Leroy Parkinson, Dr. James Kramer, Dan Flannery, R. O. Stewart, F. O. Reed, Karl Stull and Arthur Holmes. The drive was a success. Chas. M. O'Brien's team led with $15,229.61, and the sought for $100,000 became $135,000. Generous assistance was given by Nellie Farliepp, Belle Gallagher and Mrs. Floy Johnson, of the court house. One of the heaviest burdens fell upon Louis Sim- onson, expert accountant and under sheriff. He devoted all his time to the work and the sheriff's office was transformed into a Red Cross headquarters. His assistants were

Eleanor Brown, Dicey Baugh, Marguerite Vella and Mrs. J. F. Charles.

The next was the book drive, started in the War Service Committee of the American Lib- rary Association. Not with howitzers and shrapnel was the tedium of camp life to be destroyed, but by books, papers and maga- zines. The call was for $1,000,000 for reading matter, the biggest movement of the kind ever contemplated. At five cents per capita, San Jose's quota was $1750. Mrs. John E. Rich- ards, president of the board of library trus- tees, presided at a preliminary meeting held at the city library to arrange the campaign. Senator Frank H. Benson drew the secretary- ship. Charles F. Woods, recently appointed librarian, explained the purposes of the drive. The active campaign commenced September 24, 1917, with Librarian Woods in charge. He was ably assisted by Miss Stella Hunting- ton, county librarian.

Over 200 posters in red, white and blue pla- carded the town. Each donation of $1.00 or more entitled the giver to an engraved name plate in one of the books purchased. "Send your name to the front if you can't go" was a drive slogan. Day by day the amount in- creased. Then came Saturday, September 27, 1917 .- the last day of the week's drive. It was a great "Tag Day." A bevy of San Jose's pretty girls, under the direction of a committee headed by Mrs. A. A. Fowler, played "tag" all day. The members of this committee were Mrs. A. A. Fowler, Mrs. J. E. Richards, Mrs. Chas. F. Woods, Mrs. G. W. Hommedieu and Mrs. Nina Moon. Tag Day brought $300 and the end of the drive for funds. Librarians Woods and Huntington with the assistance of the interested commit- tees and volunteer workers had "put it across." Other book drives followed. The cry from overseas was answered by San Jose.

On May 1, 1917, San Jose high school stu- dents heard the war garden program outlined by Prof. H. B. Crocheron, of the Department of Agriculture, University of California. He held the official appointment made by Dean Hunt, of the College of Agriculture, to enlist the help of boys too young to enlist for other service. At the time of his visit to San Jose he found that the high school agricultural department had 114 pupils interested in prac- tical farm production. These student-farmers constituted an agricultural club, under the dir- ection of Prof. J. R. Case, Jr. This first meet- ing resulted in the enlistment of 350 high school boys who pledged themselves to crop production and to assist with the year's har- vest.

Food production plans occupied the earnest attention of the council of defense. A citi-

184

zen's committee under the leadership of E. E. Chase became interested. The Rotary Club stood solidly behind the campaign. By May 2, 1917, plans were well under way to super- vise intensive gardening. Every man, woman and child who owned or could borrow a bit of land made up a committee "of the whole." Campiglia advised the Rotarians of the cam- paign progress in other sections-and San Jose just rolled up its sleeves and went to farming.

The response to the appeal for vacant lots was an avalanche! All schools received visits from the committee. By May 3 the Horace Mann children had taken 30 lots, each having more than 4000 square feet. The Grant and Longfellow children planned to cultivate their own back yards. School heads agreed to farm lots themselves or in co-operation with the children. Rotarians grabbed a piece of land some distance from town and planted 50 acres of corn. They also offered special induce- ments to school children in the form of prizes. Then work began in earnest. Weeds and dry grass trembled and tin cans knew their hour of doom had come. First of all, the vacant lots must be well "soaked" or the ground would be lumpy at the plowing. This water- ing was undertaken by the Rotarians. The council of defense and other interested organ- izations found the San Jose Water Company eager to help by reducing rates for home gar- ‹lens and donating water for vacant lots. The San Jose fire department, under Chief Edward Haley and Assistant Chief Herman Hobson, volunteered to do the flooding of the lots. The street department, directed by Chief Engineer Walter H. Hunt, were to furnish teams and a plow and do the needed work on as many lots as possible. The Bean Spray company offered a tractor for plowing the larger lots and groups of lots.

Then the 100 Boy Scouts of the First Me- thodist Church, under the leadership of Rev. Frank McLain, each pledged himself to "feed a soldier." They promised to forget vacation -and they kept that promise. They put on an unexpected and novel program. One even- ing in May, headed by two stalwart policemen and armed with rakes and hoes for weapons, they marched through the down town streets. The Scouts bubbled over with patriotism. One little laddie said: "Maybe I'm too little to car- ry a gun, but I can make a garden!" For months Rev. Frank McLain, Mr. Farrier, of the First National Bank, George Norris and Donald Arguello had worked on the Boy Scout movement in San Jose and their efforts found recognition in the cheers that greeted this patriotic parade of volunteer food pro- ducers.

The Rotarians did more than make speeches and cheer. They dug in their individual gar- dens and they dug down deep in their pockets and put up several hundreds of dollars to fin- ance the work of getting the vacant lot gar- dens ready to plant. They secured the ser- vices of C. H. Waterman, who took charge of their planting campaign for 30 days. It was a unique campaign, for it was the first time in the history of the city that its government turned gardener! Firemen to do the flooding, police department volunteering to transport the hose from place to place, and the city's teams to do the plowing!

The firemen had the worst of it. Their work was done between the hours of eight in the evening and four the next morning-but not one of them complained. There was diffi- culty in finding the lots. Frequently instead of one vacant lot they found four and the mid- dle of the night was a mighty inconvenient time to find out which lot to flood! All night, night after night, the fire boys worked. They "dyked" the lots until each one looked like a miniature Holland-then turned on the water.

A conference of all the local food production experts was held at the high school cafeteria on May 10, 1917, E. E. Chase, chairman of the original food supply committee, presiding. Earl Morris, county horticultural commission- er, was made chairman of the campaign com- mittee and the personnel of those attending the conference were: E. E. Chase, WV. L. At- kinson, representing the Rotary Club: Alex- ander Sheriffs, city superintendent of schools ; Arthur M. Free and J. D. Chace, Jr., of the Council of Defense: Prof. J. R. Case, Jr., of high school agricultural department; C. H. Waterman, general campaign supervisor ; Karl Hazeltine and Ernst L. Conant. Arthur Free toured the schools of the county, J. J. MeDonald donated a plow, teams were loaned by John R. Chace and the Standard Oil Com- pany, and over 500 high school and normal school students enlisted for the work. Over 200 lots were cultivated. Andrew P. Hill's back yard was an incentive for greater garden effort, for nothing was wasted there, not even space.

The winners of the first and second prizes offered by the Rotary Club in the schools were: Gardner School-Herbert Hyer, Jack Hewitt. Lowell School -- Willie Jury, Harris Willson. Washington School-Frank Guer- ra, Emilio Gagliardo. Hawthorne School- Mario and Frank Duino, first, and George Straight, second. Grant School-Louis Ar- none, first, and Denward and Fred Davis, sec- ond. Horace Mann School-Albert Hachlen and George Bliss, first ,and Vivian Thornton. Thelma Lanz, Alvis Davis, Ruby Withers,

No story of this 1917 garden activity would be complete without special mention of Rev. J. H. Wythe, who, during the entire period, was deeply interested in the movement and who aided its success in every way, not only be- cause of his government appointment on this commission but because of his love of gardens. During 1918 Prof. Joseph E. Hancock was given the chairmanship of war garden activ- ities by C. C. Moore, chairman of the state council of defense. Professor Hancock had an extensive campaign planned when the ar- mistice removed the pressing necessity for increased food production.

Wednesday, September 26, 1917, San Jose bade goodbye to Companies B and M, Califor- nia volunteers, trained at Fort Mason, who passed through on their way to "somewhere in France." That same day J. D. Kuster, W. S. Clayton, V. J. LaMotte, Victor Palmer and Dr. W. C. Bailey went to San Francisco to consult with the general executive committee. Friday the local meeting was held to arrange for the opening of the loan campaign October 1. The committee personnel remained the same as in the first loan, John D. Kuster, chairman, and Dr. W. C. Bailey, secretary.

The city was divided into four districts. each with well defined street boundaries. and a competent executive head named for each district. Joseph M. Parker was made chair- man of ward one; Arthur M. Free, ward two; A. L. Hubbard, ward three ; and H. A. Harms, ward four. Each chairman appointed a work- ing committee of from 50 to 100 in his district with captains and lieutenants so as to quickly organize effective work.

At this time the Eighth regiment, compris- ing over a thousand men, Colonel George M. Weeks commanding, arrived at Camp Fre- mont after a two months' trip from the Phil- ippine Islands. The famous California Griz- zlies were forming and camped at Tanforan, prominent among them being Major Robert I. Bentley, Captain Cedric R. Richmond, Cap- tain Ellsworth E. Chase and Lieutenant Wil- mer Gross. The cross above the hallowed grave of Lieutenant Wilmer Gross "some- where in France" casts its shadow on the hearts of the home-folks for the continuance of whose liberty he made the supreme sacri- fice.

Sunday, September 30, 1917, the Argall Brothers quartet made their last appearance as a singing group at the Methodist Church. Charles was soon to leave for France.

Joseph M. Parker's committee met Sunday at the V'endome Hotel and for each of the six precincts in the first ward a chairman and his aids were named. Precinct No. 1-Henry AAver, chairman; William Watson, Joseph Hartman, William I. Geoffroy, W. F. Curry, and Dr. A. A. Cavagnara. Precinct No. 2- Joseph Magistretti, chairman ; D. M. Denegri, J. Caillean, Eugene Pezolo, F. W. Hogan. Precinct No. 3-John V. Slavich, chairman ; A. P. Lepesh, August P. Minjoulet. Gus Wendt, N. A. Pellerano. Precinct No. 4- J. J. MeLaurin, chairman : Matt Glennon, W. P. Isham, A. R. Kennedy. Precinct No. 5- W. L. Atkinson, chairman : Dan J. Flannery, George H. Anderson, George McDonald, J. R. Kocher. James Gillon, A. N. Losse. Precinct No. 6-Alexander Sheriffs. chairman; Harry Morris, J. F. O'Keefe, Miss Lynch. Mrs. Fred Keller, Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. J. J. Conniff, Mrs. Baggott.

Other war leaders hastened to perfect their working force. Free learned that Al Hubbard was coming over in his ward to appropriate some of the best workers. Hubbard made approaches to Billy Prussia, who was count- ed on by Free as a soliciting prize winner. That would never do. Free called a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce. Hubbard called a meeting at the same time and place! They compromised! It was the best compromise in the world. They simply agreed to combine forces and fight side by side to a victorious finish with the following committeemen :

Free's workers-S. W. Waterhouse, James Finley, C. A. Hall, Walter Lillick, Juanita Halsey, Jennie Sheriffs, R. R. Syer, E. M. Rosenthal, S. Trapani, Jese Levy, Alexander Hart, Joe Millard, Bert Gassett, Judge P. F. Gosbey, Elmer E. Chase, Tom Bodley, Fannie Morrison, Mrs. C. A. Wayland, Dr. William Simpson, Dr. J. J. Miller, Gns Lion, Frank O'Connell, Alfred Madsen, Karl Stull, Mrs. Fosgate, Dr. David A. Beattie, Tom Watson, Mrs. T. L. Blanchard, Walter Chrisman, L. Maggini, Sam E. Smith, Samuel Tompkins, R. C. McComish, Captain Bailey, Captain Campbell, Mrs. Mae Faull, Mrs. Henry Lion, Mrs. S. Ogier, Robert Borchers, A. C. Kuhns, Ralph Lowe.

In ward four H. A. Harms, chairman, put his sign and seal on the following gentleman- ly solicitors, each to name other able assis- tants : C. W. Davison, Judge Urban A. Sonth- eimer, E. P. Bonar, J. B. Chiappe, F. A. Gunn, J. M. McKiernan, C. H. James, Mrs. D. H. Roberts.

Word came that on the following Friday, October 5, more than 700 boys would pass through San Jose on their way; to Camp Lewis. The reception and supper given them

186

in St. James Street next to the Park, followed the city's goodbye to 126 of the local boys, who left that day for army camps.

October 6, John D. Kuster received a tele- gram from Mrs. E. R. Brainard, chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan committee for California, asking that women be appointed for county work. Mrs. C. A. Wayland was given the honor of the first appointment as chairman and immediately began to perfect an organization. The women entered into the campaign with as much fervor as the men.

Mrs. Charles C. Wayland's committee of women was co-operating with the men's liber- ty loan committee and the women's council of defense.

Judge William A. Beasly headed the speak- ers' committee and secured Charles K. Field, editor of the Sunset Magazine, who address- ed an immense audience in the First Baptist Church the next Sunday evening. Other speakers who gave their services during the campaign under Judge Beasly's direction were J. S. Williams, Dr. J. W. Dinsmore, Arthur Free, Victor LaMotte, Senator Herbert H. Jones, A. C. Kuhn, Fred L. Thomas, M. E. Griffiths, Victor Palmer, F. M. Coleman and Senator Frank H. Benson.

H. W. McComas was made chairman of the four minute men-Arthur M. Free, Senator Jones, Grant Bennett, Dr. James B. Bullitt.

Friday, October 19, 1917, saw a wonderful- ly inspiring parade of school children. More than 5000 were in line. The parade, fifteen blocks long, was led by City Manager Reed and Charles Parkinson. Much of its success was due to the efforts of Dr. M. E. Dailey, Agnes E. Howe and Alexander Sheriffs.

The l'resident's proclamation had desig- nated October 24 as Liberty Day, and Joseph M. Parker, Chas. R. Parkinson, Henry Aver and Joseph T. Brooks went to Camp Fremont to confer with the officers there about having the troops take part in the day's demonstra- tion. Dr. James B. Bullitt, J. S. Williams and Victor Palmer did valiant work and so did Billy Emerson, San Jose's veteran newsie.

On Liberty Day with its jostling crowds lining the streets, there passed such a spec- tacular parade numbering more than 15,000 persons as had never before thrilled the hearts of San Joseans. The Eighth Regiment came from Camp Fremont, 800 strong. There were seven bands, besides numerous drum corps, all the schools, and fraternal and civic organiza- tions. Chief of Police Black led the parade with City Manager Reed as grand marshal and Sheriff Arthur B. Langford as chief aid. At St. James Park, following the parade, re- freshments were served to the Eighth Regi- ment, after which Arthur M. Free delivered

an eloquent and stirring address. Deputy District Attorney Griffith addressed the crowd from an auto near the Park, again from the steps of the Garden City Bank, and a third time at the corner of St. James and First Streets.

The men who gave their time and energy to make this parade an unforgettable event were Joseph M. Parker, Chas. R. Parkinson, Thomas H. Reed. John D. Kuster, A. E. Holmes, Karl Stull, Howell D. Melvin, Dr. W. C. Bailey, Henry M. Ayer and Arthur B. Langford.

At the last moment the Boy Scouts were called upon and they enlisted full of enthus- jasm. The second Liberty loan campaign ended Saturday night, October 27, with a sub- scription of $3,365,100-another over subscrip- tion. San Jose's number of subscribers was 4722; county subscribers, 3250, making a total of 7972, an increase of 970 over the first loan. San Jose's subscription was $2,305,650. The average subscription per capita was $188.

Now came the second Y. M. C. A. drive. The National War Council recommended the raising of a fund of $35,000,000, to serve the soldiers and sailors of the allies and all pris- oners of war. The plan for Santa Clara Coun- ty was outlined in San Jose on November 19, 1917, at a dinner in the Y. M. C. A. Auditor- ium. The speakers were Senator Herbert C. Jones and Judge W. A. Beasly. Then church meetings and school meetings, the high school boys being enthusiastic workers. They sub- scribed $970. Nine San Jose girls, Malva Beatty, Grace Limerick, Julia Holdridge, Hazel Dickinson, Georgine Fink, Beth Crum- mey, Lilah Seiley and Lola Burdick, made "earn and give" pledges of $10 each. The children in the kindergarten wanted to help, and a special fund took care of their pennies and dimes. More than 350 committeemen helped to carry on the second "Y." drive. These men constituted more than twenty teams. On November 20, Senator Jones an- nounced that the drive was "over the top," having $5000 more than the $25,000 quota.

The Women's Mobilized Army proved its ability as a power for accomplishment through campaign after campaign for war funds and strenuous bond drives. Mrs. L. T. Smith be- came colonel for the Santa Clara County Army, and Mrs. D. 1. Beattie, as lieutenant- colonel, looked after San Jose. Eleven other workers were appointed to lead the activities of the various districts of the county. These were: Mrs. W. B. Allen, Palo Alto; Mrs. S. 1. Berry, Mountain View ; Mrs. James Glen- denning, Santa Clara; Mrs. A. A. Halsey. Cupertino; Mrs. Geo. Parso, Campbell ; Mrs. W. G. Tomlinson, Saratoga ; Mrs. Z. L. Riggs,

Los Gatos; Mrs. O. H. Barnhart, Morgan Hill: Mrs. W. B. Holschaw, Gilroy : Mrs. J. P. Shambo, Evergreen, and Miss Nellie Evans, Milpitas. This permanent organization ef- fected for the period of the war, included be- side the colonel and twelve lieutenant-colon- els, a major for each school district. Each major appointed captains and under each cap- tain were several lieutenants. In San Jose the majors named by Mrs. D. A. Beattie were Mrs. P. F. Gosbey, Mrs. N. H. Booker, Mrs. J. J. Byl, Mrs. J. E. Hancock, Mrs. F. A. Von Dorston, Mrs. C. C. Little, Miss Wehner, Mrs. Nicholas Bowden, Mrs. Willis Clayton, Mrs. A. B. Brown, Mrs. George B. Seeley, Mrs. Charles Parkinson and Mrs. S. D. Farrington.

This magnificent organization, perfected in a short time, numbered 1400 women banded together to answer with unselfish service ev- ery appeal made to them. Nine tremendous war activities called for their best endeavor. The December, 1917, Red Cross membership drive was the Mobilized Army's initial ser- vice. Mrs. A. A. Fowler was chairman of this activity. The second campaign came in 1918, when they helped to carry out the success- ful Thrift and War Savings Stamp drive in- der the chairmanship of Mrs. F. M. Eley.
