What will be the outcome of this great World War? Will the entente allies, of which the United States is one of twenty, win the struggle, or will the central powers, of which Germany is the leader, come out victorious? As American citizens, loyal to our country and believers in the institutions for which it stands, we unhesitatingly affirm that the cause of the allies will prevail. We believe that the great American army that is now in the progress of training will be the deciding factor in this war, and that the principles for which we stand and for which we are willing to shed our blood, will sustain us to a victorious end. Lovers of liberty ourselves, we hope that all the nations of the earth will eventually so constitute their govern- ments that all men may have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap- piness. It is for this we are fighting; for the principles of democracy, and may God in his wisdom be with us as a nation to the end that we may all finally be one common brotherhood.
And for these principles the young men of Champaign county are get- ting ready to fight in 1917 and will no doubt be actually at the front in France within the year 1918. They will acquit themselves well; we have faith in them. The next history of the county will have to tell their story ; some of them may never return; others may come back maimed in body. But whether they give their lives for their country, or whether they return,

they will have performed the highest degree of service to their country. We can but hope that they will all return, but if they sacrifice their lives, the good people of Champaign county will have the satisfaction of knowing that their country called them and that they did their duty.
CHAMPAIGN COUNTY'S FIRST STUDENT OFFICERS.
When, in April, 1917, the great peace-loving American people entered the World War to uphold the principles upon which our liberties are founded, the nation found itself woefully unprepared for war. Since Ger- many violated the neutrality of Belgium in August, 1914, military science and equipment have undergone such amazing changes that the American army was placed in almost as obsolete a position as was Napoleon's Grand Army of 1813. Thanks to the support of our allies, we are enabled to make careful preparations without having to experiment, which always takes a toll of many brave men's lives. With the true American sense of keeping abreast of the times, we adopted the system of universal service, discarding in great measure the old volunteer system.
The great difficulty before the war department, as it has always been in times of national danger, was the finding of a sufficient number of com- petent officers for this great body of men. Too often in our former wars incompetents acquired commissions in our armies by petty politics, and this condition of leadership resulted in the needless deaths of many brave sol- diers. Now it is all changed. The general staff decided upon- setting up schools for officers in many parts of the United States, where men, after passing certain intelligence and physical tests, were to receive three months of training. At the end of this period, those who showed ability to be leaders of men were to receive commissions in the new national army. The sug- gestion was carried out by the war department and officers' schools were established.
When the call went forth for candidates to take this training, many young men from Champaign county, feeling it their duty in this national crisis, left their several occupations and their comfortable homes, and, after passing the examinations, entered the officers' training camp, at Ft. Ben- jamin Harrison, Indianapolis, Indiana, on May 8, 1917. There these men, along with fifty-two hundred others, worked from the reveille at five-thirty in the morning until taps at nine-thirty at night, in the effort to become better prepared to serve their country. Long "hikes" they made with their sixty pounds of equipment through all kinds of weather. Ferociously they bay-

oneted dummy "enemies," and hours they spent in becoming marksmen on the rifle range. The remainder of their time they utilized in the prosaic task of poring over the manual of arms and books on tactics.
On August 10, 1917, the reward for these long hours of arduous en- deavor arrived, for nine Champaign county boys received their commissions. Garnett W. Brand, Karl E. Whinnery and Eugene Johnson became first lieu- tenants in the infantry of the officers' reserve camp; George E. Hagenbuch was commissioned first lieutenant of infantry in the national army; Ralph T. Lowry, Max R. Kiser and Paul F. Dye received second lieutenancies in the infantry of the officers' reserve camp, and in the field artillery Harold W. Stadler and I'hilip J. Kimball received, respectively, second and first lieu- tenancies. All of these young men are from Urbana except Philip J. Kim- ball, whose home is in Mechanicsburg.
COMPANY D MUSTERED IN ON SEPTEMBER 4, 1917.
On a previous page has been given a roster of Company D as it was constituted when it left for the Mexican border in the summer of 1916. The company as it was mustered into the federal service on September 4, 1917, contained a number of new men, while there were several with the company on the Mexican border whose names do not appear on the roster of the com- pany as it appeared when mustered into the federal service.
