HISTORY OF CENTRAL NEW YORK
Not every community having a camp sent out a company in the war. Bath, for instance, has the largest camp simply be- cause the Veterans' Home is located there. Elsewhere in the state there are camps, because veterans of the war have moved into these communities in sufficient numbers to organize.
WORLD WAR.
More than 500 fallen soldiers, millions of dollars in govern- ment loans and hundreds of maimed and shattered youths formed Central New York's contribution to the cause of making the world safe for democracy in the World war. And the war left broken homes, debts, invalids and sorrow. But it crystalized the patriotism of the region as no other event has ever done.
Through the volunteer enlistments and through the various government drafts the area herded men into the service in a measure rivaled by few other districts of equal size and popula- tion in America. Each National Guard company in the various communities was the first to go, first to a training camp and then across the submarine infested Atlantic to further intensive train- ing and perhaps a rendezvous with death in France or Belgium. There were scores who took to the air and beat America into the war by volunteering for service with Canadian, French or British air corps.
Patriotic spirit ran high when on February 3, 1917, America severed diplomatic relations with Germany. It burst into flame when President Woodrow Wilson on April 6, following, signed the papers declaring America in a state of war with Germany.
But manhood was not all which Central New York lay upon the altar of service in the nation's need. In each of the five Liberty Loans, every city, village, hamlet and crossroads assem- bled its means to lend money to the government. The first three and one-half per cent Liberty Loan came in June, 1917; the sec- ond four per cent loan in October, 1917; the third four and one- quarter per cent loan in April, 1918; the fourth four and one-half per cent loan in October, 1918, and the fifth four and three- quarters per cent Victory Loan in April and May, 1919.

HISTORY OF CENTRAL NEW YORK
Central New York gave to the limit in this greatest financial mobilization in the history of the world. From April 5, 1917, to June 30, 1919, the nation spent thirty-five billion dollars, or several billions more than it had spent for all purposes from the beginning of the Revolution to 1917, and in this the local area met is quota in full.
At home draft boards functioned; home defense committees sought to organize companies of older men for duty in case of local emergencies; war chests to aid the dependents of soldiers brimmed full with gifts; dozens of sub-committees worked night and day to keep the patriotic spirit aflame with parades, public addresses and all types of publicity. Women sewed interminably on material for soldiers. Red Cross volunteers wound and cut bandages. Every community was a hive of industry, laboring that the war might go on to victory. Home garden movements were advanced, to produce as much food as possible for use at home, so non-perishable provisions might go forever forward to Flanders fields. Flour conservation through substitutes was only one of many steps taken to guarantee the maximum of pro- visions for the boys across the sea.
And when the Armistice was signed November 11, 1918, the pent up emotion of struggle and anxiety and hope burst forth in celebrations the like of which Central New York never before witnessed. Then came the home-comings, with thousands of dollars spent for fitting celebrations for the boys who returned as sobered men from their war experiences, leaving comrades behind where white crosses spread across French meadows.
No section of America gave more freely of its manhood than did Central New York in the World war. The area of eleven counties lost 510 men in the conflict, of whom 239 were killed in action, sixty-nine died of wounds, 197 of disease, seventeen in accidents, three drowned and five perished from other causes.
Chemung County heads the list for the greatest loss in life, with a total of eighty-five lives given the nation. Of these thirty- one were killed in action, fifteen of wounds, thirty-one of disease, six in accidents and two were drowned. Then comes Steuben County with eighty men on its honor roll, of whom thirty-two

were killed in action, seven died of wounds, thirty-five of disease, three in accidents, one drowned and three lost from other causes.
Ontario is a close third with seventy-four lost, including thirty killed in action, ten died of wounds, thirty-one of disease, two in accidents and one for other causes. Cayuga lost sixty-nine men, twenty-seven killed in action, six victims of wounds, and thirty- six of disease. Wayne County lost forty-nine, of whom twenty fell in action, nine died of wounds and twenty of disease. Tomp- kins forfeited thirty-three lives for democracy, thirteen men being killed in action, three succumbed to wounds, fourteen to disease and three lost in accidents.
Seneca contributed thirty-two lives, six killed in action, four dead of wounds, twenty-one of diseases and one lost in an acci- dent. Cortland gave thirty men, twelve killed in action, seven victims of wounds, nine of disease and two of other causes. Tioga lost twenty-three youths, seven killed in action, four dead of wounds, eleven of disease and one killed in an accident. Yates County has twenty-four gold stars for six men killed in action, two dead of wounds and sixteen disease. Schuyler's loss was eleven men, including five killed in action, two dead of wounds and three of disease.
