ORGANIZATION
Colonel George W. Burr was relieved from duty as commanding officer at Rock Island Arsenal February 15, 1918, and was succeeded by Lieutenant-Colonel Norman F. Ramsey as acting commandant until March 3d, when Colonel Leroy T. Hillman assumed charge. The com- manding officer of this Arsenal is also designated by the War Depart- ment as ordnance officer of the central department.
The commanding officer is responsible to the War Department for all matters connected with the operation of the Arsenal. General policies, all changes in labor conditions, working hours, new construc- tion, extension or modification of the plant, and all important orders or promises of delivery are brought to his personal attention. His instruc- tions are issued through the heads of departments under ordinary con- ditions.
The Arsenal organization, under the commanding officer, is divided into six chief divisions, consisting of the administrative office, the general manager, the general factory manager, and central planning section, chief engineer, the military division, and the Rock Island Arsenal general supply depot. The administrative officer has charge of the correspondence and filing section, allotment section, auditing and disbursing section, cost and time section, and the chief clerk and chief accountant. At present the acting administrative officer is also the executive assistant to the commanding officer.
SUB-DIVISIONS
The general manager at the time hostilities ceased and who is now serving in that capacity, is Lieutenant-Coloned L. G. McCrum, and in the absence of the commanding officer assumes his duties. Under the general manager are three main divisions consisting of the civilian service division, the industrial engineering section, and the construction and maintenance division. The civilian division comprises the employ- ment section, civil service section, the employes' association, employes' lunch room, employes' hospital, the Arsenal Record (the official publica- tion at this Arsenal), the safety engineer, compensation for injured
134

employes, and the housing and transportation department. Production records and the installation of shop systems are the tasks assigned to the industrial section. Reporting direct to the general manager are the officers in charge of the receiving storehouse, balance of stores, property section, purchasing section, follow-up section, and raw materials stores.
The construction department reports to the construction and main- tenance section, as does the maintenance section. Reporting through the maintenance department to the construction and maintenance sec- tion are the officers in charge of power plant, electrical department, boiler houses, forage and truck maintenance, plumbing, central steam heating plant, water supply, millwrights, carpenters, machinists, repair gang, ice plant outside branch, pumping station, bridge and bridge guards, and the filteration plant.
The general factory manager at the time hostilities ceased was Lieutenant-Colonel Emil Tyden. The central planning section is in charge of Major L. B. Sommerby, and is a part of the general factory management. Under the officers in charge are the following depart- ments: Tool manufacturing department, small arms department, gun carriage department, wood-working department, cloth and leather de- partment, equipment department, and blacksmith department. Each of these departments has a planning room, which in turn sub-divides the various sub-departments.
Reporting directly to the chief engineer, Major R. L. Streeter, is the officer in charge of the Savanna proving ground, drafting section, engineering section, testing laboratory, inspection section, Rock Island Arsenal proving ground, experimental work, motor equipment labora -· tory, and the armament officer. The engineering section has charge of estimates and bills of material.
The military division at Rock Island Arsenal consists of the post adjutant, who is also in charge of the watchmen and guards, who is also designated as fire marshal by the commanding officer. He is also the military intelligence officer. The military division also includes quartermaster, recruiting officer, and summary court officer. Stationed at the post is a personal adjutant in charge of troops, which includes the regular ordnance detachment, casual military personnel. The post surgeon, post exchange, and infantry guard also report to the military division.
The Rock Island Arsenal general supply depot is in charge of Major C. K. Boettcher, who reports direct to the commanding officer.
PRODUCTION
Definite figures as to the actual production of war material at Rock Island Arsenal are as yet unavailable, but the following unofficial figures have been submitted. The principal articles manufactured here have been artillery vehicles, recoil cylinders, artillery wheels, spoke shoes and spoke shoe plates, artillery harness, arms repair chests, rifles, loaded shells, and personal equipment items in addition to test tool sets furnished to various other manufacturing firms throughout the country.
Since the United States entered the war, up to and including Novem- ber 15, 1918, there have been manufactured 159 75-mm. gun carriages at
135
SCOTT COUNTY, IOWA
this Arsenal. Unofficial reports also show 194 4.7 gun carriages and six three-inch gun carriages and two six-inch howitzer gun carriages. Gun caissons manufactured in this period numbered 121 and gun and forge limbers 446. There were also 255 battery and store wagons man- ufactured.
During the same period Rock Island Arsenal furnished to the supply department and to various other manufacturing concerns 264 4.7 recoil cylinders complete.
The supply division and outside contractors received from this Arsenal during the time that the United States was in the war 9,718 artillery wheels, all of which were manufactured here. The same dis- position was made of 218,650 spoke shoes and spoke plates also pro- duced here.
Up to August 1, 1918, all the artillery harness supplied to the United States forces was manufactured at this Arsenal. Between April 6, 1917, to November 15, 1918, 24,212 sets of artillery harness were manu- factured and 74,207 sets were assembled. In a statement made recently by Brigadier-General John T. Thompson, Director of Arsenals, it was announced that the harness manufacturing department at Rock Island Arsenal was the largest and most completly equipped in the world.
There were manufactured and assembled during the period of hos- tilities 13,241 arms repair chests.
The manufacture of rifles was one of the principal tasks at Rock Island Arsenal. For practically the entire period while the United States was in the war almost 3,500 men and women were employed in the small arms plant exclusively. During that time, there were manu- factured, and are now assembled or furnished as repair parts, an equivalent approximating 113,670 rifles, M.1903.
There were 167,195 155-mm. howitzer shells loaded without adapters and boosters.
Approximately 790,000 complete sets of personal equipment were manufactured during that period, including the following items: 1,512,190 bacon cans, 354,770 knives, 649,457 canteen covers, 858,344 haversacks, and 400,256 pack carriers.
A comparative statement of the production at Rock Island Arsenal during the last year indicates that at the time the armistice was signed, this institution was just reaching a point where maximum production could be attained.
In March two 75-mm. gun carriages were manufactured. The same number were turned out in April. In May production increased to sixteen, twenty in June, twenty-two in July, twenty-three in August, twenty-eight in September, and forty-six in October. The 4.7 gun car- riages reached the maximum production in September, when fifty-eight were manufactured. Out of 194 which have been manufactured at this Arsenal since the declaration of war, 183 have been turned out since January, 1918.
In the manufacture of rifles the high water mark was reached in October, when parts sufficient to make an equivalent of 30,455 were made.

HISTORY OF WAR ACTIVITIES
AN ENVIABLE RECORD
Aside from the actual work in the shops for the production of war material, employes of Rock Island Arsenal hung up a record for war service that has not been surpassed by any manufacturing plant in the country in proportion to size. Since the declaration of war they have subscribed the enormous sum of $4,000,000 to the various war charities and to the Liberty Bond issues.
The bonds, of course, have been the principal investment of the workers, sales here totaling $3,050,000. The Red Cross campaigns have netted more than $15,000; the Salvation Army, $10,000; the allied war drive, $20,000, and the Davenport Visiting Nurse Association, $6,000. The sale of War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps, of which no record has been kept, will bring the total well over the four million mark.
The success of the Liberty Loan drives at Rock Island Arsenal is due in a large measure to the organization which handled the sale. Under the direction of Lieutenant J. Reed Lane, as general chairman, captains and teams were appointed in each shop and department. As a result of the efficient work of the organization, Rock Island Arsenal, including the construction companies and their employes, became 92 69-100 per cent purchasers of Liberty Bonds in the fourth drive. The average subscription at this Arsenal was $107.
SUMMARY

Employes prior to outbreak of war in 1914 approximated 1,800 men and 175 women, the latter all office workers, typists, and stenographers.
By July 1, 1916, during the Mexican trouble, this number had been increased by about 100 men and twenty-five women, the latter still being confined to clerical positions.
On April 6, 1917, when war was declared by the United States, there were employed 3,360 men and 300 women office workers.
On May 1, 1918, the employes had been increased to 8,926 men and 450 women office workers. About 100 women were also working in the shops.
On November 11, 1918, the date of the signing of the armistice, there were employed at the Arsenal 13,361 men and 1,500 women in the shops, and 1,417 women in office positions.
Principal articles of manufacture included artillery vehicles, recoil cylinders, artillery wheels, spoke shoes and spoke shoe plates, artillery harness, arms repair chests, rifles, loaded shells and personal equipment

items, in addition to test tool sets furnished to various other manu- facturing firms throughout the country.
Since the United States entered the war, there have been manu- factured 159 75-millimeter gun carriages, 194 gun carriages for 4.7 inch pieces, six 3-inch gun carriages, and two 6-inch howitzer gun carriages. Gun caissons manufactured numbered 121 and gun and forge limbers 446. There were also 255 battery and store wagons manufactured.
Up to August 1, 1918, all the artillery harness supplied to the United States forces was manufactured at the Arsenal. There were 24,212 sets manufactured and 74,207 sets assembled from the time of the declara- tion of war to the signing of the armistice.
One of the principal tasks was the manufacture of rifles. During the period of the war 3,500 workers turned out 113,670 complete rifles. Thirty thousand four hundred and fifty-five were made in October alone.
The Fourth of July, 1918
"The Biggest Patriotic Demonstration Ever Staged in Davenport" was the headline justly thrown over the account in the Davenport papers of the Fourth of July parade and celebration of our second year in the war. Fifteen thousand persons lined the streets and half as many took part in the parade, which required forty-five minutes to pass a given point. All the patriotic organizations took part, and their enthusiasm was represented by floats and flags and costuming and marching effects which made the procession kaleidoscopic in character and intensely patriotic in its nature.
The Celebration of the Armistice
The course of the war was marked by many notable events which will long linger in the memory of those who participated in the war work here in Scott county. There were public meetings to arouse the patriotic spirit of the people in connection with the various War Work and Liberty Loan campaigns, and there were the demonstrations as large groups of the home boys left for the training or concentration camps, or as other groups of recruits came here on their way, through the regular recruiting agencies, to Jefferson Barracks and elsewhere. In their appropriate places, these events have found mention in the reports filling the preceding pages of this volume.
A great patriotic demonstration was the Fourth of July parade of 1918. And thus the war wore on until the memorable days in Novem- ber, 1918, when the enemy, disorganized and in flight, was making overtures for a truce. Those were days of tension and stress, of false reports of peace, of canards that started the bells ringing and the whistles blowing in many cities. Finally, in the early hours of Mon- day morning, November 11th-at 2 a. m. to be exact-a blast of whistles awakened the sleepers in Davenport, and they knew that the German delegates at the headquarters of Marshal Foch had accepted the terms of the armistice, and that the war was over.
After the deep-throated whistles told the glorious news, there was little sleep for anyone in Davenport or Scott county for most of the next twenty-four hours. The greatest celebration of the entire war period began at once.
Within a few minutes the down-town streets were filled with scurry- ing automobiles, the sidewalks with happy and excited throngs. Flags were everywhere. There were impromptu parades. The Home Guard was on duty promptly, and to it was due in large measure the orderli- ness and freedom from accident which marked the celebration.
The development of a program for the demonstration was at once taken up by the Bureau of Military Affairs of the Scott County Council cf. National Defense, composed of Dan B. Horne, A. J. Faerber, G. W. French, Louis Bein, Harry W. Phillips, Isaac Petersberger, H. J. Mc- Farland, Ray M. Nyemaster, Chris. Heuck, W. J. Mccullough, Chris. Marti, Herman Oetzmann, A. F. Dawson, and Aug. Balluff, together with Mayor C. M. Littleton, Frank D. Throop, E. P. Adler, Joseph Deutsch, and J. C. McCarthy.
A big parade was the morning feature. Nearly everything on wheels in the city was in it, scores of trucks being filled with the employes of Rock Island arsenal, where work was suspended for the day. The Boy Scout band and the various troops of Scouts, other bands and patriotic organizations made it a long and noisy procession. One of the news- papers of the day said:
138
139
SCOTT COUNTY, IOWA
"The members of the Council of Defense led the demonstration, followed by the Patriots' League, Liberty Chorus, Boy Scouts, Arsenal Workers, Women's Council of Defense, Letter Carriers, United States Housing Corporation employes, Palmer School students, Red Cross nurses, Parent-Teachers' organization, Salvation Army, various colored organizations, every auto in the city decked with flags, and followed every step by the small boy who was having the time of his life. More than one mother will never discover what became of the household frying pan, tea kettle, and numerous other pots. The small boy had evidently raided the kitchen for a sleep-disturber and found it."
The afternoon was given over to carnival, the central part of the down town district reserved for merrymaking, and automobiles barred from it. Confetti and other signs of the carnival spirit soon littered the streets and walks. There was a big bonfire and day fireworks on the levee, and another bonfire and night fireworks after dark. All was so well arranged and carried out that the Council of Defense was able to declare, in thanking various organizations and the public for co- operation, that "not a single accident or act of vandalism occurred."
American Protective League
One organization which functioned in Davenport very quietly, but effectively, was the local branch of the American Protective League, which was organized soon after the opening of the war, with the ap- proval and operating under the direction of the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice.
The Davenport branch was organized June 1, 1917, with some ten members, the membership gradually expanding during the war until every ward and township in the county was organized, with over two hundred members under fourteen captains. Its investigations of cases of alleged slackers and other forms of disloyalty ran into the thousands, and its work in conjunction with the Military Intelligence Office of Rock Island Arsenal helped to add to the security of the great muni- tions plant here. The chief maintained an office with a competent clerk and stenographer, and was in constant and close touch with the heads of all the war activities of the vicinity.
Immediately after the signing of the armistice the local branch received orders to close up its affairs, and all its papers and records were turned over to the Department of Justice.
Community Welcome Home To Soldiers and Sailors of Scott County, Iowa
BY HARRY J. MCFARLAND, Chairman Arrangements Committee
To welcome home soldiers and sailors after a great victory has been the custom of ages and the privilege of those who are not permitted to be a part of the splendid achievement.
When our boys departed we bade them good-bye and asked God to bless them and send them home safely again. They were part of that great fighting machine of this country which was the marvel of the world, and did their part in bringing forth a victory for the honor of the Stars and Stripes.
When the boys began to return home Scott county decided it would not be outdone by any American city in its welcome home to its brave soldiers and sailors. The Council of Defense and Bureau of Military Affairs, through its chairman, Dan B. Horne, and the committee, and also the American Red Cross, through its chairman, Charles Grilk, and a committee, held a joint meeting and arranged to hold a celebra- tion at Davenport for the returned soldiers and sailors and entitled every war activity of this county to have a part in the welcome home celebration.
February 3, 1919, was the date decided upon and it will always be remembered as a red-letter day in the history of our city. We demon- strated to the boys that we were proud of them and that we were glad to have them safely home again. It was decided to hold a banquet and ball-the banquet to be held at the Blackhawk Hotel and the ball at the Coliseum. On account of limited seating capacity at the Black- hawk Hotel, it was necessary to hold an overflow banquet at the Daven- port Commercial Club, and over 650 soldiers and sailors participated.
It was an edifying sight for any citizen to watch the proceedings. All types of soldiers and sailors were present, some from overseas, some from the camps in this country, and some who were called out on November 11th, the day the armistice was signed, and marched to Hotel Dempsey, where they were discharged. They were a happy, joyous, contented lot and enjoyed the festivities to the fullest.
The speakers at the banquet at the Blackhawk Hotel were: Chas. M. Littleton, Mayor of Davenport; Judge Nathaniel French, Captain Roland S. Truitt, Captain E. McGinley, and A. F. Dawson. Harry J. McFarland presided as toastmaster. Mrs. C. M. Cochrane and Mrs. W. T. Waterman were the soloists of the evening, and Mrs. T. D. Starbuck was their accompanist. The Canteen girls of the Davenport Chapter of the American Red Cross, under the leadership of Mrs. Dick R. Lane and Mrs. J. Reed Lane, received a great ovation from the soldiers and
140
141
SCOTT COUNTY, IOWA
sailors as they marched into the banquet hall with trays of cigarettes and matches. Later on in the evening the young ladies passed cigars. The soldiers and sailors were glad to meet the Canteen girls, as the boys had met them on many occasions prior to this time.
At the overflow banquet at the Davenport Commercial Club Ray Nyemaster, Joe Carmichael, J. C. McCarthy, and A. F. Dawson delivered interesting addresses. Lee J. Dougherty acted as toastmaster and gave a very hearty welcome home talk to the assembled guests.
The grand ball that followed at the Coliseum was attended by about 3,000 people, including soldiers, sailors, their families and friends. An excellent musical program was rendered and dancing followed. The ever-welcome, cheerful, and willing workers, the Canteen girls, were again in evidence, and at four different booths in the hall served frappe and wafers. Dancing continued until 1 a. m., and from the happy and contented appearance of the soldiers and sailors, they enjoyed the affair to the utmost.

Food Administration
BY DICK R. LANE, County Administrator
The organization of food administration for Scott county was per- fected shortly after our entrance into the war. State Food Adminis- trator J. A. Deems, of Burlington, appointed Sam T. White and Dick R. Lane administrators for Scott county. At that time Mr. White was chairman of the Scott County Council of National Defense, and Mr. Lane agreed to take complete charge of food administration. Later Mr. White took charge of the survey of the hog supply in Scott county, which was very important work, and his report was very complete.
The work required a large amount of detail and personal investiga- tion. Many cases of violation of rules were reported but very few actual violations were discovered when a complete investigation was made. These investigations were carried out through the state secret service department. Taken all in all the people of Scott county obeyed the rules willingly and cheerfully, although at considerable personal sacrifice.
While we had many committees the most important was the Price Interpreting Committee. This committee held a meeting every Mon- day afternoon and fixed the maximum and minimum retail food prices for the ensuing week. Three retailers, three wholesalers, and three other citizens made up this committee-John A. Feeney, Vic Plath, Charles Behrens, Charles Duncan, Ed. Van Patten, Paul Lagomarcino, Mrs. D. N. Burrows, E. R. McAdam, George Dempsey-with the County Administrator as chairman.
Regulations on sugar required the most work, keeping three clerks constantly engaged for several months when the big demand for sugar was on.
There is no question but a great saving in food was made through the work of the Food Administration, but as yet actual figures have not been completed. No doubt in the near future the government will issue figures which will be very interesting.
Outside of the clerical employes all work was done without pay or compensation of any kind, and at no time was any complaint made, but all of the organizations called upon willingly responded to all requests for assistance both night and day.
Merchants of Iowa
Food conservation work as it applied to the merchants of Iowa was under the direction of M. L. Parker, of Davenport, appointed by Food Administrator Deems, as merchant representative for the state. Mr. Parker had his deputies in the various counties and directed the move- ment that enlisted their hearty co-operation for the movement in all parts of the state.
