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, W. 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. McDonald 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 Gner- 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- iner 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 Vendome Hotel and for each of the six precincts in the first ward a chairman and his aids were named. Precinct No. 1-Henry Ayer, 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. Cailleau, 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. McLaurin, chairman : Matt Glennon, W. P. Isham. A. R. Kennedy. Precinct No. 5- W. L. Atkinson, chairman ; Dan ]. 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, Gus 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. MeComas 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 President'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- inent, 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- iasm. 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 $488.

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. A. 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,

187

HISTORY OF SANTA CLARA COUNTY

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 un- der the chairmanship of Mrs. F. M. Eley.

The third Liberty loan, April, 1918, proved the quality of women's service under the guid- ance of Mrs. C. A. Wayland, chairman. The Red Cross campaign in May, 1918, War Sav- ings Stamp drive in June, 1918, and the regis- tration of all children under six years of age, also in June, were directed by members of the Women's Army. In October, 1918, came the fourth Liberty loan, and no one will ever forget the Volunteer Day preceding it on Sep- tember 7. On this day members of the Wom- en's Mobilized Army served in the regular polling places throughout the country, more than 850 volunteering for this work in San Jose. The result of efficient organization be- came apparent when a "check up" of the day's returns showed that about 65 per cent of Santa Clara county's quota had been volun- teered in one day. The United War Work campaign in November, 1918, and the Liberty loan drive closed the book of the Women's Mobilized Army history. No tabulation of campaign returns or bare record of work can ever tell the story in its entirety. The mem- bers of this army made every sacrifice, some of them even the sacrifice of health in the pat- riotic endeavor to leave nothing undone that would speed the coming of the day when peace should dawn on a war-worn world.

Among the thousands of appealing inci- dents during the work of the Women's Army are two particularly worthy of special men- tion. In San Jose Precinct No. 10, Mrs. E. H.

Baker made no changes in the personnel of her workers during the entire war period. The faithful coterie of women were: Mrs. E. H. Baker, Mrs. L. L. Lamar, Mrs. C. E. Parsons, Miss M. Blomdohl, Mrs. C. O. Neale and Mrs. E. Perkins. The other instance of valiant service was that of Mrs. J. M. Church Walk- er, in charge of the mountain district above Los Gatos. This little woman having no other way to do her work walked every step of the necessary sixteen miles to organize her district.

The latter part of 1917 was a great succes- sion of drives. The first week in December the National War Council of the Young Wo- men's Christian Association issued a call for $4,000,000 for the purpose of establishing soc- ial and rest centers for heroic nurses at the front. Santa Clara County's quota was $16,000. At a meeting on December 5, Mrs. L. T. Smith made her appointments for the county, and Mrs. D. A. Beattie named the following team captains for San Jose: Mrs. Robert Syer, Miss Maud Blackford, Mrs Peter Dunn, Miss Bertha Fair, Mrs. C. C. Lit- tle, Mrs. Stephen Maynard. Each captain selected ten to twelve women for patriotic service. San Jose responded, as it always did, with an oversubscription. Not only San Jose but the County. The quota was reached with $4000 to spare.

During the summer of 1918 the local Y. W. C. A. made a gift beyond price to the cause of suffering humanity when Miss Mary Helen Post offered herself through the Association for overseas work.

The Knights of Columbus and the Y. M. C. A. received appointments at the same time from President Wilson. The big task before these organizations was to raise funds for the special needs of the soldiers. The Knights undertook to raise $50,000 for the entire coun- ty. San Jose's share being $10,000. It was to be a fund for all, a work for all, regardless of creed or fraternal affiliation. Plans for the campaign were made in December, 1917, at a luncheon at the Hotel Vendome, at which time Rev. Edward J. Hanna, the guest of honor, expressed his pleasure in the co-opera- tion of different organizations. "For the first time in its history," said Bishop Hanna, "the country has placed its moral and physical wel- fare in the hands of the religious men of the nation. The best way to make good soldiers is to educate men to high ideals."

The drive, scheduled originally for Decem- ber 19, opened at that time in the residential districts only, the business district not to be canvassed until after Christmas. Charles M. ()'Brien led the K. of C. forces as chairman of a committee consisting of J. F. Brooke, D. M.

Burnett. Jay McCabe. F. G. Canelo, F. J. Somers. Robert Benson, W. F. Benson, J. S. Williams, John J. Jones, Dr. B. L. Wise, Frank Martin, F. J. Reidy. R. Bressani, N. A. Pellerano, M. E. Griffith and D. J. Flannery. Peter Dunne was assigned to the Alameda ; Joseph A. Bihn and James Hancock led the campaigners in the Willows; J. S. Cunan, E. S .. San Jose. Joseph Solari and C. O. Wendt were committeemen to cover "the city."

Christmas time, several other drives in pro- gress-and $10,000 to raise! That meant $1000 every day for ten days! The vaudeville show for the Camp Fremont boys had just been given by the Knights of Columbus and stimulated interest in the drive. Then the war fund received a Christmas gift from Man- ager James Beatty of the Liberty Theater. This gift was 2000 theater tickets to be sold for the benefit of the campaign.

The day after Christmas the drive began in earnest. Judge W. A. Beasly, C. C. Coolidge and John J. Jones called upon all the attor- neys. Doctors and dentists received visits from Drs. Philip Wise, Arthur T. McGinty and Dr. Murray. John F. Brooke, J. R. Ry- land and David Burnett visited all fruit can- ners. Frank J. Somers, Will Prussia and F. J. McHenry claimed the territory on the east side of First Street from Santa Clara. The west side of the street was canvassed by F. G. Canelo, Jay McCabe and Henry Hoff. Santa Clara Street was assigned to Charles L. Barrington, P. J. Foley and H. J. Dougherty ; Second Street between San Antonio and San Fernando was claimed by Joe Solari, Frank Reidy and W. J. Benson. John S. Williams, N. A. Pellerano and Richard Bressani cover- ed Market Street.

Daily luncheons with encouraging reports spurred to greater endeavor and on December 30, when Chairman Charles M. O'Brien an- nounced that the quota had been reached with a generous margin there was a burst of en- thusiasm.

The gift of $10,000 to the war fund did not end the local offer of Catholic helpfulness. Father Walsh and Father Cox, of Santa Clara College, followed the flag overseas, and Father T. C. O'Connell, pastor of St. Patrick's Church, spent more than a year on the fight- ing front, offering his chaplaincy in the ser- vice of the boys.

The first idea of Christmas cheer came to Eleanor A. Brown, and she talked it over with five other San Jose girls-Marion Goldsmith, Marion Cassin, Mand Thomas, Evelyn John- son and Luita Arnold.

At the Chamber of Commerce on November 1. 1917, there was a meeting. Eleanor Brown and her five girl friends met with representa-

tives of the Chamber of Commerce, the Rot- ary Club, the Red Cross, Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A., and the Woman's Club and other organi- zations to make plans and perfect some kind of working committee. J. J. McDonald was made chairman and Luita Arnold secretary. Other present were Mrs. Charles Osenbangh. Brownie Schillingsburg. Mrs. W. B. Irish, Mrs. Arthur Langford, Mrs. Claude Winans. Dr. M. E. Dailey, Charles R. Parkinson, W. T. Rambo, and Joseph T. Brooks. The inten- tion was just to lovingly send to each boy in trench or camp, a Christmas remembrance "from the folks at home." Committee leaders were quickly selected. Finance, Eleanor Brown; publicity. Mrs. A. B. Langford; to secure the names of the boys. Mrs. W. B. Ir- ish ; supplies, Mrs. Claude A. Winans; box packing committee, Mrs. N. J. Gray. Later Mrs. F. J. Loel, Mrs. S. L. Cunningham, Mrs. W. M. Beggs, Mrs. J. J. McDonald, Judge W. A. Beasly and Jay McCabe were added to the general committee. More and more were add- ed until San Jose simply became a committee of the whole to see to it that not one boy from home was forgotten. Mrs. Claude A. Winans shared her committeeship with Mrs. Bert Goldsmith,, Mrs. J. E. Hancock, Mrs. D. L. Smith and Mrs. A. D. Grant. That gave the Woman's Club a place of prominence in the supply department and the club recognized its Christmas honors by offering to pack the boxes.

The Boy Scouts accomplished wonders rais- ing in one day $1175.80. The original plan called for 500 boxes. There were at least 900 that went as Christmas cheer to the boys at the front. In addition to the box 300 pounds of candy were sent. The boxes contained raisins, prunes, nuts, candy, cakes, toilet articles, local papers, Jack Graham's songs and San Jose's Christmas greeting. The first thing to catch the recipient's attention would be the city's greeting. Its ts warm-heartedness must have seemed like a handclasp across the dis- tance-the handclasp of a friend !

"San Jose bids her soldier boys, wherever they may be, a Merry Christmas. We would like to have you think of San Jose not as a col- lection of houses and stores, a mere hive of busy people, but as a living personality whose heart warms to you who have left home to de- fend our beloved country in this time of dan- ger. We would convey to you a bright reflec- tion of our Christmas cheer. We miss you from our firesides and amid the rejoicing of the holiday season we are at once sad and proud that you are absent. We call upon you the blessing of Ilim in whose name the Christ- mas feast is spread. Christ was born to bring peace and goodwill unto all the world. You

189

have given yourselves to the same cause; for peace and goodwill cannot thrive in the same world with Kaiserism. As on Christmas day your thoughts turn lovingly toward home, our hearts' best wishes go forth to you. Thomas H. Reed, City Manager of San Jose."

In preparation for the third Liberty loan, Dr. W. C. Bailey was made chairman for Santa Clara County, John D. Kuster declining to serve again. Dr. Bullitt, Judge Gosbey and Joe Brooks, a chorus of Normal School girls, forty voices strong, and numbers of patriotic citizens carried out an educational campaign that covered the county. H. D. Melvin visited all lodges and patriotic pledges were secured with the assistance of J. E. Hancock, Judge Gosbey, S. G. Tompkins, Arthur M. Free and Alexander Sheriffs, speakers of powerful con- viction. Dan J. Flannery's Speakers' Commit- tee consisted of A. V. Shubert, Victor Challen, Arthur Curtner and Judge Urban A. Sonth- eimer.

H. W. McComas, chairman of the Four Min- ute Men marshaled his force of twenty-five speakers early in the campaign. The Woman's Mobilized Army, with its powerful organiza- tion of more than 1400 under the colonel, Mrs. L. T. Smith, the lieut .- colonel, Mrs. D. A. Beattie and Liberty loan chairman Mrs. C. A. Wayland combined with the War Work Council.

Saturday, April 6, 1918, designated "Liberty Day," opened the third Liberty Loan drive with one of the grandest educational military demonstrations in Luna Park ever staged in Santa Clara County. As a result almost $1,- 000,000 of Santa Clara County's quota of $2,- 605,000 was raised. The committee in charge of the Luna Park spectacle was a bank com- mittee, consisting of Geo. B. Campbell, cashier of the Security State Bank, chairman; J. H. Russell, R. D. Pearce, D. S. Glendenning, C. A. Baronne, Bank of Italy ; A. D. Baker, W. E. Drew, First National Bank; Waldo E. Lowe and M. B. Davis, Bank of San Jose ; Lester Hyde and Percy Thompson, Garden City Bank; Harold Ahlman, George Pierson, Security State Bank.
