The burden of the campaign fell to the lot of the ten committeemen under the Liberty loan leaders. These committeemen were John D. Crummey, Alexander Sheriffs, A. D. Curtner, Louis Campiglia, Henry M. Ayer, Chas. M. O'Brien, Chas. R. Parkinson, Elton R. Shaw, E. A. Richmond, Alexander Hart, Walter G. Matthewson, Howell D. Melvin. Henry Hirsch became special inspector for the San Jose district to see that the plans were car- ried out.

Not every one purchased bonds voluntarily. Everywhere workers met concrete evidence of

insidious German propaganda. The list of those refusing to buy bonds increased to such an extent that the Santa Clara County investi- gating and educational committee, with John D. Kuster as chairman, came into the cam- paign. Other members of this organization were J. W. Grimes, Albert Kayser, V. H. Wylie, A. A. Halsey, A. M. Free, F. J. Mc- Henry, Fred L. Fehren, A. G. Du Brutz, Judge P. F. Gosbey, Sam G. Tompkins, Herbert C. Jones. These men did not shirk their unwel- come task. Over 900 cases were investigated and the members' services were invaluable.

On April 16, 1918, San Jose was electrified by the news that Lieut. Douglas Campbell had won the French War Cross by bringing down a German plane and capturing the pilot.

Shortly before noon on Liberty Day, April 26, the message came that San Jose and the county had gone "over the top." It was a great campaign that ended officially on May 4, 1918, with not only the full quota of bonds subscribed and the population requirements met, but an amount credited to Santa Clara County for more than $800,000 above the allot- ment and 12,136 more investors than during the second loan. The most sanguine hopes that came into existence with the organiza- tion of the War Work Council in March, 1918, had been realized. Each member of the Coun- cil gave to the members of the Women's Mobilized Army the fullest credit for the splen- did results.

During the strenuous campaign an advisory committee met every day at the War Work Council headquarters to "talk things over and devise ways and means." Of the following faithful members of this committee many gave at least fifty per cent of their time to the work and others, finding that business interfered with their patriotism simply gave up their business, devoting all their time and energy to the interests of "backing up the boys": Byron Millard, A. B. Post, Judge W. A. Beasly, Dr. James B. Bullitt, S. G. Tompkins, W. S. Clay- ton, W. E. Bauer, V. J. La Motte, Louis Cam- piglia, Arthur M. Free, H. L. Baggerly, Wil- bur J. Edwards, E. K. Johnston, H. G. Coy- kendall, W. G. Alexander, Frank J. Somers, George N. Herbert, John D. Kuster and D. T. Bateman.

Special committeemen were Thomas H. Reed, Karl M. Stull, Victor Palmer, Alvin Long, Sheldon R. Wills, F. A. Nikirk, Frank L. Baker, D. J. Flannery, Victor Challen, Judge Urban A. Sontheimer, Arthur B. Lang- ford, Brooks Tompkins, F. E. Chapin and Wilson E. Albee.

Preparations , were now made for the fourth Liberty loan drive. One or two changes al- tered the war work council chart. Dr. W. C.

HISTORY OF SANTA CLARA COUNTY

Bailey became chairman of the Santa Clara County War Work council: Joseph M. Par- ker, chairman of the Santa Clara County fourth Liberty loan committee : Louis Cam- piglia, chairman San Jose War Work council : E. H. Foster, secretary; Arthur H. Curtner. treasurer ; Dr. James B. Bullitt, statistician.

The campaign did not open officially until September 28, 1918, but long before the "big day" everyone was at work. The 750 men of the war work council and the 1400 workers of the women's army comprised the Volunteer day force to take charge of the "voting booths" in every precinct and polling place throughout the county. Arthur Curtner gave a "get ac- quainted" dinner to all district leaders at the Montgomery Hotel on the evening of Septem- ber 20th, J. M. Parker making the principal speech. Blind Al Herr, newsboy, bought the first bond on Monday, September 23. His cane guided him to headquarters. Some throats choked a bit when Blind Al held out fifty dol- lars for some unseen hand to take.

Volunteer day, September 27, 1918, will go down in history as one of the greatest days in the chronicles of the county. On that day. practically without any solicitation, the county subscribed $3,258,650 to the fourth Liberty loan bonds, $1,701,250 of that amount belong- ing to San Jose. The honor flag offered for the largest number of subscriptions in a pre- einct in proportion to the population went to precinct No. 37 in charge of F. A. Van Dorsten. director, and Charles M. ()'Brien, vice chair- man. Out of 373 registered voters 62 per cent made bond subscriptions. This precinct at Wilson's garage, 899 South Fifteenth street. listed among its workers Joseph T. Brooks. Edward Johnson, Ben Brown, H. Trephagen, Mrs. W. G. Alexander, May Hoffman, Hattie Hoffman, Miss Jones, Mrs. H. H. Madsen, Mrs. L. P. Edwards, Mrs. P. D. During, Mrs. C. B. Mason and Mrs. J. R. Bailey.

The honor flag for the largest amount of subscriptions totaling $68,850, was proudly carried away by Crandallville precinct No. 2 in charge of Alexander Sherriffs, vice chair- man, and W. J. Lean, director. Other workers were W. B. Irish, Daisy Cozzens, Reta Angus, Hattie Prindiville, Mrs. R. H. Topham, Anna Mathews and Bessie Crowfoot. D. M. Dene- gri did yeoman service among the Italian- speaking population, obtaining notable results from the employees of the Greco cannery. All canners and their hundreds of workers stood solidly behind the loan. William Halla cov- ered Chinatown and found bond subscriptions piling up after the news came that young Sing Kee, son of Chung Kee, had been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. Sing Kee, the only Chinese soldier in Company G, Three

Hundred and Sixth Infantry, deserved that decoration and the Croix de Guerre which came to him later. He stood for 48 hours at an advance post with wireless apparatus send- ing messages back to his commander after the post had been abandoned by the entire com- pany. Sing Kee fought in many battles and spent a month in the hospital at Tours follow- ing a severe experience with mustard gas dur- ing a Hun attack. A letter of congratulation went to Sing Kee from his fellow townsmen of the War Work Council. The Japanese sub- scribed $50,000. The service flag dedicated at St. Joseph's on Oct. 6. 1918, held almost one- third of the San Jose stars. On Saturday, Oct. 19, 1918, bells, horns and whistles announced victory. Santa Clara County was credited with an oversubscription of $826,650.

Judge P. F. Gosbey of the Council of De- fense made the following acknowledgment of Parker's able leadership: "I wish to express the appreciation of the Santa Clara county di- vision of the Council of Defense for the excel- lent work done by J. M. Parker during the fourth Liberty loan campaign. It was large- ly due to his efforts and to those of his able assistants that the campaign was carried through in this city and county to such great success. The result will always stand as a monument to Joseph M. Parker's ability and loyalty." In the fourth loan San Jose had 20,- 075 subscribers. The total bond subscription was $3,595,000, per capita average of $179. For the county, subscribers 11,662, amount $1,899,700, per capita $163. City and county subscribers, 31,735; amount $5,494,700, per capita $173. In this loan 29.4 per cent of the population subscribed as against 19 per cent subscribing for the third loan.

While priest and Protestant clergymen min- istered to the men of all nationalities and creeds on the battlefields where all differences were forgotten in a common cause, in the homeland there developed a new bond of brotherhood. A splendid demonstration of this broader understanding was the "Seven in One" campaign in November. 1918, when seven great war work organizations united un- der one banner. Santa Clara County sounded an unanimous call for Arthur D. Curtner to be its drive leader. This intensely patriotic American was an outstanding figure because of his magnificent service in all war work in- dertaken by the community. The assisting committee represented cach local organization. Y. M. C. A., Herbert C. Jones : National Cath- olic War Council, including Knights of Co- lumbus, M. E.

HISTORY OF SANTA CLARA COUNTY

Parker; American Library Association, Stella Huntington. Santa Clara County's quota was raised with an oversubscription of $25,000.

The fifth Victory loan drive was carried to success against great handicaps. The war was over and there was indifference in the public mind. J. M. Parker was the drive leader par excellence. He stirred up the workers and all went well. W. S. Clayton and John R. Chace broke their own records by securing $318,000 in bond subscriptions in four days. A unique stunt was the Volunteer Day air circus staged by James B. Leaman, F. E. Chapin and A. E. Holmes. Airplanes from Mather Field circled above the county, dropping 15,000 Victory loan dodgers. On May Day, 1919, came the big re- ception and parade to honor the boys who had gone to the front and had come back heroes. On the night of May 10, 1919, the drive passed into history-an oversubscription, as usual.

With the establishment of Camp Fremont only twenty miles away, and soldiers coming to San Jose by hundreds, a place had to be provided where they might rest, read and write and eat. The Chamber of Commerce lost no time. Its president, Dr. W. C. Bailey, immediately appointed Chas. R. Parkinson chairman of a committee to provide a soldiers' recreation fund. An old fund left over from a rose carnival amounting to several hundred dollars, with accrued interest, was in the hands of Alexander Hart, the carnival treasurer. This amount was turned over to the commit- tee as a starter and made possible the opening of rooms in the Chamber of Commerce build- ing. Help was needed, as the boys kept com- ing, and accordingly a committee of eight was appointed by the Women's National Council of Defense to co-operate with the Chamber of Commerce. The members were Mrs. Nicholas Bowden, Mrs. D. A. Beattie, Mrs. Lester Morse, Mrs. J. W. Davy, Mrs. W. L. Wood- row, Mrs. J. E. Hancock, Mrs. Louis Sonnik- sen, Mrs. R. R. Johnston and Mrs. C. R. Park- inson, chairman. There was a reception and 200 soldiers attended. Forty women made themselves responsible for the club. Mrs. W. 1. Woodrow was appointed chairman of the canteen ; Mrs. Frank Leib, secretary ; Mrs. S. A. Appleton, treasurer ; Mrs. C. R. Parkinson, director of service. Upon the abandoning of Camp Fremont the club was closed. The dishes and furnishings were given to worthy charities and to the center for women in indus- try established by the Y. W. C. A.

To help the Belgians San Jose did her part from first to last. In January, 1915, at the call of Herbert Hoover, Dr. W. C. Bailey, presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce, called an important meeting, which resulted in $2,600 worth of foodstuffs being sent to Belgium.

The drive for funds was engineered entirely by the Chamber of Commerce with Fred L. Fos- ter as the capable and energetic publicity agent. The real organization was perfected in the fall of 1915, and headquarters established in a room in the Chamber of Commerce building.

The first work under the new organization, with Mrs. J. W. Davy chairman, was the rais- ing of a voluntary subscription of $2400 for the purchase of new clothing. After the big mass meeting which resulted in the shipment of warm new clothing, the monthly pledges became a feature of the relief. These pledges, voluntarily signed, were the means of send- ing from San Jose $400 a month in the begin- ning; that increased to $600 and the last month's gift amounted to $1300. Approxi- mately $15,000 totaled the local subscriptions to this relief fund and that amount does not include the first funds of $2600 for foodstuffs and $2400 for new clothing, which were for- warded through the Stanford Fund before the San Jose organization was complete.

In all there were four drives for clothing Two of them were made in conjunction with the National Red Cross. More than 25 tons of clothing were shipped overseas as the result of appeals made during these four drives. One remarkable record of helpfulness was made by the Comforts Forwarding Committee of the Christian Science Church, who gathered at their North First street headquarters one-tenth of all the clothing sent to Belgium during the last drive. From the Home of Truth on North Fifth street there has been issued no record of the unlimited amount of money and clothing they have sent across the sea. Work- ing independently they forwarded hundreds of dollars and box after box of clothing directly to Madame de Hemptine, a Belgian woman who conducted a refugee house at Calais. From first to last no money was used for ad- ministration of this great mercy fund. Every cent collected for Belgian Relief went to Bel- gium, sent by Jack Russell, of the Bank of Italy, who acted as treasurer.

The committee who served with Mrs. J. W. Davy in this great humanitarian work were Miss Ida Wehner, Mrs. W. A. Beasly, Mrs. S. G. Tompkins, Mrs. Charles R. Parkinson, Mrs. Thomas Blanchard, Mrs. Edwin A. Wilcox. Mrs. Everett Bailey, Mrs. D. A. Beattie, Mrs. J. E. Bell, Mrs. W. A. Johnson, Mrs. A. P. Post, Mrs. W. P. Lyon, Mrs. H. L. Baggerly, Mrs. George Herbert, Mrs. Nicholas Bowden, Mrs. David Burnett, Mrs. Edward Sterling. Mrs. Paul Clark, Mrs. Louis Sonniksen, Mrs. Willard C. Bailey, Mrs. Leonard Stocking.

In the schools Miss Mary Helen Post was in charge of the work at the Normal, Mrs. Mary Smith, Washington School, and Miss Elizabeth Mc- Swain at the high school.

Thousands of dollars went from San Jose for Armenian and Serbian Relief. During two in- tensive drives for the suffering and starving people across the sea the local response amounted to more than $38,000.00.

When the appealing needs of the Armenians became urgent, a meeting at the Y. W. C. A., on March 11, 1918, started the first big drive. Judge F. B. Brown led this campaign and J. D. Crummey took the treasurership. The amount apportioned locally was $12,000 with $3000 to come from the county outside of San Jose. The one fact of this relief fund being adminis- tered by a New York man who paid all ex- pense so that every cent collected might go to Armenia was a feature of the drive. The en- tire quota was met under the efficient leader- ship of Judge Brown and Mr. Crummey aided by the following executive committee, Cap- tains and assistants at headquarters :

Executive committee : Judge F. B. Brown, Mrs. W. A. Alexander, Rev. R. S. Emrich, Rev. E. A. King, Hon. H. Jones and Mrs. D. A. Beattie. At headquarters : Mrs. Flickinger. Mrs. Hull and Miss Bishop who represented Mr. Crummey. Captains: Mrs. F. M. Eley, Mrs. D. W. Gilchrist, Mrs. J. W. Lewis, Mrs. M. V. McCurdy, Mrs. Charles Crothers, Mrs. A. T. Hermann, Mrs. E. A. Wilcox, Mrs. L. Richards, E. V. Busch, A. G. Wilkins and George N. Herbert.

James Beatty, manager of the Liberty Thea- ter, presented the committee through George N. Herbert's team with 200 theater tickets for each month of the year, a gift that supported 10 children for the entire period. The crest of giving came on Saturday, March 6, 1918, with a response of $4,222.00 San Jose's entire Armenian subscription during this "Judge Brown drive" took care of 1598 children, 1000 men and 1000 women in the destitute country that looked to California for help and did not look in vain.

The second drive for allied relief, headed by Charles M. O'Brien, chairman, and carried out with the machinery of the War Work Council, began January 14, 1919. With a quota of $22,000, asked over $23,000 was given. The armistice silenced the guns and out of that silence the cry for help came. From the be- ginning the Joffre Club, Club La France, the San Jose branch of civil and military relief

under the direction of Mrs. Victor Cauhape sent hundreds of dollars and tons and tons of supplies, while societies and individuals adopted French orphans.
