The Soldiers' Welfare and Farewell


Committee


The Soldiers Welfare and Farewell Committee was originally appointed by Mayor Farrington to arrange for the farewell reception tendered to Co. H and consisted of fourteen members.


At the final meeting held to wind up the affairs incident to the Co. H reception it was found that a balance of the funds contributed to defray the ex- pense of the same remained unexpended. What to do with the balance was a question that could not be decided. Upon the suggestion of the Mayor a committee consisting of John J. Morrison, John P. Wall, J. Fred Orpen, Milton Strauss and F. M. Yors- ten, with the Mayor as chairman, was appointed for the duration of the war, to look after the comfort and welfare of the men leaving this city for camp.


The balance on hand was turned over to this com- mittee as a nucles for a fund to be used to hire music and purchase tobacco and other comforts to be presented to the men upon their departure for the training camps.


This committee made all arrangements for the


farewell parades and receptions tendered the boys upon their departure from this city.


Around this committee was built the larger com- mittees that managed the many affairs that took place during the war, also the committee appointed to arrange for a memorial to the soldiers from this city. Upon the death of Mayor Farrington the chairmanship devolved upon Mr. Morrison who was elected to succeed Mr. Farrington as Mayor of the city.


The committee did not confine itself to local sol- diers and sailors in the distribution of funds, but made donations to the Colonia Hospital, Canteen for war work at Camp Raritan, also the Canteen and Service Club of New Brunswick. This committee disbanded on April 8, 1919, at which time it donated the balance remaining in its treasury, $605.61 to the committee appointed to welcome the soldiers home from war.


This was the only committee that had a continual existence for the full period of the war and filled a very necessary place during those stirring days.

HE call to subscribe to the First Liberty Loan was a big occasion in New Brunswick, as throughout the country. The notice sent out by Henry G. Parker, chairman of the Liberty Loan Committee was as follows:


Dear Sir:


"WAR, This is what we are in for. If your house had been ransacked and burned and your relatives and friends had been outraged, as have the Belgians and French, you would be bursting with rage, and ready to fight, and fight to the finish.


"Bombs with long but perfect connections have been set under the foundations of our government, and the fuse is burning towards our shore. Shall we wait till the terrible explosion takes place, or shall we act now ?


"Is it not better for our soldiers to fight on foreign shores, thereby saving our own land from the devas- tation of War, and help to sustain the hands of our allies, than to wait until they are conquered and we have to bear the full force of the blow ?


"Our immediate necessity is money to train, arm, clothe and feed our soldiers and sustain our Allies until we can go to their assistance. The government commands New Brunswick to sell $1,702,000 in bonds. We have sold $1,150,000, leaving nearly $600,000 to be sold to come up to our apportionment. WE MUST NOT BE LEFT IN THE SLACKERS CLASS.


"The Committee proposes a canvass of every home in the city to sell a bond. Will you VOLUNTEER to help? If so, call at the headquarters of the Home Defense League any time tomorrow, Saturday afternoon or evening, up to nine o'clock and get the necessary instructions.


"HENRY G. PARKER, Chairman, LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE." *

The call of the Republic for the aid of its citizens in its hour of danger was given a hearty response by the people of New Brunswick at a great Liberty Loan mass meeting held in the Ballantine Gymna- sium on June 5, 1917.

NEW BRUNSWICK


"The war must be won, and we must have money to win," was the plea of the speakers, and New Brunswick, thrilled as never before, sent back the answer. As Judge Peter F. Daly expressed it, "Once this Liberty Loan is explained there is no chance that the rank and file of the people will fail to support it to the limit of their ability."


"We are starting a fire," said former Mayor Austin Scott, the chairman, in opening the meeting, "not the kind that is devastating Europe, but a construc- tive fire, the backfire that is to stop the course of the Prussian devastation. We are seeking a divine spark, and if there is such a spark in you, you must join." And this was an able summarization of the spirit that moved the meeting.


Chairman Scott was introduced by Henry G. Parker, chairman of the local Liberty Loan Com- mittee.


PUTNAM SOUNDS CALL


"The call of the republic is being sounded," were the opening words of Major George Haven Putnam, Civil War veteran and a writer and speaker of national repute on the war situation and one of the first to head the fight for preparedness. "The call of the republic is being sounded, and we must answer."


"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's as as true now as when Christ said it," he continued. "The republic, which has taken the place of an Im- perial Dictator, calls for its dues. Its continued existence depends upon the service of its citizens. And our call is a special one, for the government that calls is one that we have chosen by our own votes. It is actuated by no dreams of imperial aggression but it calls for the defense of liberty."


The United States, Major Putnam continued, has "rather heedlessly" assumed many obligations in the past but it has been less ready to carry them out. In these he included the Monroe Doctrine, and said that the nation has "talked big but has done little" to make good on this. Now, however, we are called to make good, and we are realizing how we have failed to organize our resources.


TRIBUTE TO BRITAIN


"Up to this time the Monroe Doctrine has been maintained not by us but by the British fleet, and it is time for us to acknowledge it. We are enter- ing the war none too soon to help Britain in return for what she has done for us.


"And we must also fight if we are to avoid the fate of Belgium, and the murder of Armenia, the greatest crime of modern times, for which not only Turkey is responsible, but the directing force at Berlin that guided it all the time."


The wonderful military machinery of Prussianism, dominated by greed for dominion, must be kept from our shores. We must defend our ideals.


"I have feared two things, either that the Allies would win before the United States acted to show


its recognition of its duty to the world, or that Ger- many would win and make us impotent to help."


For that would, indeed, have been the result, had Germany won. The speaker declared that he had been a student in Germany and that in the lecture halls there the doctrine of Germany's divine right to take everything it wanted had been openly preached and that no secret had been made of the plans for German control in America.


ATTACKS PACIFISTS


Major Putnam extolled President Wilson's patriotic endeavors but he said the people of the country had been confused by such phrases as "the war is no concern of ours" and "peace without victory" which had held the nation back.


"What would 'peace without victory' mean to a Belgian whose women had been carried into slavery," he thundered, "or to an Armenian. We want peace with justice, the only kind that can be sure and worth while, the only kind that will remove the seeds of future wars."


The speaker also assailed the pacifists, both the "good men and women in the worst sense of the term" and those actuated by laziness or cowardice, and declared that President Lincoln understood them and knew how to deal with them when he declared of the Civil War, "This war was begun with a pur- pose, and please God it will continue until that pur- pose is accomplished."


"Today we are fighting against slavery, and the pacifists who would stop the war because of its hor- rors are really doing the work of militarism."


"We veterans look to you boys, who have just registered, to maintain the ideals of the republic. It is not the property of any one generation, but a trust to be handed down. If you fail, not in loss of territory nor in payment of indemnities, bad as they are, but if you fail to fight for the ideals of the nation, you will be untrue to your trust."


PEOPLE AT HOME HELP


And the people at home can help just as much as those who fight. The Civil War was won by the persistency of the people back of the lines, and this war must be won in the same way.


"Our Revolution was fought for Liberalism in England as well as here. Now we go to help our old mother country and our ally, France, to avenge the martyrdom of Belgium and repair her sacrifice. The heroic Belgians are comparable only to the heroic Spartans at Thermopylae, who held the pass against the Huns of their day until civili- zation could be saved.


"And now," he concluded, "we are to take their places and to see that government of the people, for the people and by the people shall not perish from the face of the earth."


Major Putnam was given a tremendous ovation as he concluded, and Chairman Scott seized the op-

portunity to remind the audience that money is what is needed to win the war and that the Liberty Loan must be oversubscribed.


'Y TO WIN WAR

ight-from-the-shoulder phrases, him audience inst how badly the


After such an explanation of the Liberty Bonds as Col. Mitchell had given, Judge Daly said in opening, the rest would be easy. "Now that New Brunswick understands there is no doubt as to the rest. As the French indemnity in 1871 was paid from the funds in the stockings of the honest peasant women of : France, so will this loan be paid by the savings of the American people."


Love of country is the strongest trait of humanity, and it is based on civic patriotism. We should be proud of such a home town as sturdy old New Bruns- wick, he said, and the city is sure to do its part in the loan subscription.


Referring to the registration he declared that there were no deliberate slackers in New Brunswick. "If any failed to register they belong either in an in- stitution for the criminally sick or for the mentally ill."


"Our boys are ready to do their duty. Are we Hy to do ours. They say, 'We have invested our s for you, will you invest your money for us ?' diers and sailors alone can't win. We must put ney behind the men behind the guns.


You need have no fear, Mr. Mitchell," he con- med, addressing the previous speaker, "the mass Ithe people will support the loan. They will not ¡ve it to the rich alone.


The crying demand is for the sustenance of war. In are needed, but munitions are needed more."


PLEA FOR RED CROSS


Judge Daly also made a stirring apepal for the d Cross. "The men have the glory and chivalry war, if there is any left," he said. "But the men are bigger than that. They should have equal ghts and more, too. They are away beyond us.


'At the beginning of the war the American Red oss was the last in the list. Now it is better than at, but we must do more. The heart of the nerican people is there and we must help.


"There is the work in the field, but there is also the lief work at home. We must not forget the no- women who made us so proud on Memorial Day. the dignity of glorious womanhood, they can teach what real sacrifice is. Get behind them. Our boys e leaving. It is both sorrowful and joyous. But e women are staying behind, and theirs is the rder task.


"The flag is not a thing of bunting and of color, It a glorious representation of the fundamental 'inciples of truth and justice and the redress of man wrongs. We are carrying it to aid suffering miman-kind and to win the peace of God that passeth understanding."


As Judge Daly concluded, the audience burst into a wild outburst of applause that lasted for several minutes. The demonstration was tremendous.


Rev. James F. Devine, of the Sacred Heart Church, pronounced the benediction.
