On Thursday the trend of western sentiment in favor of the President was plainly evident. The slogan of his campaign had been "He Kept Us Out of War."
On Friday, following the election it was found that the preference of the country would depend upon the close vote of California. When the result of that vote was announced, a long drawn contest decreed the reelection of President Wilson.
Scarcely had the election ended, before events so shaped themselves that the nation could no longer maintain its former neutral policy without loss of national honor. Early in January, 1917, Germany announced that on February 1, it would undertake unrestricted submarine warfare in the zone around the British Isles and would specify the route which a restricted number of American ships might take through this zone. On February 4th, President Wilson appeared before Congress with the startling statement that diplomatic relations had been severed with Germany. On April 2nd, the President again appeared be- fore that body with a summary of what had been done by the State Department in attempting to avoid an open breach. On April 6, 1917, Congress followed with a declaration that "a state of war existed between the United States and the Imperial German Government."
Indicative of the prompt and effective measures then taken, it might be mentioned that in May, the traditional policy of the government had been broken by the passage of Selective Service Act. By June 10th, ten million men had been registered under terms of that Act. Within ninety days after the declaration of war, thirty-two encampments, each to house some forty thousand men had been constructed. On July 3, 1917, the last of four groups of transports had unloaded its cargo of the first contingent of U. S. regular troops on French soil.
The Wyoming Valley was to share in this martial activity.
On July 16, 1917, the Third Artillery was ordered to mobilize for active duty and immediately went into camp on the site of the former fair grounds at West Pittston. This camp was named in honor of Col. R. Bruce Ricketts, heretofore mentioned in connection with a distinguished career in the Civil war. On September 7th, it entrained for Fort Hancock, Georgia, where it arrived September 11th.
Under date of September 22nd, orders were issued changing its numerical designation to that of the 109th Field Artillery of the 28th (Pennsylvania) Division.
On May 11, 1918, the 109th left Fort Hancock, arriving at Camp Mills, Long Island, May 14th. There it was presented with new set of colors by Mrs. John N. Conyngham as well as a new set of bugles and drums for field music by the Wilkes-Barré Chamber of Commerce.
Early in the morning of May 18th, the Regiment boarded the converted liner "Justicia" arriving at Liverpool, England, May 31st and at Le Havre, France, June 5, 1918.
It could not be possible, without the addition of another volume to this History, to narrate events of the World War, either at home or abroad. From a mass of data now in the writer's possession, reflecting the activities of Luzerne County alone, a series of Chapters could be and later may be penned. When war came, the County responded. It had responded gloriously in every conflict of the Republic. From descendant of the earliest settler to the alien called by the development of industry to a residence within the County's borders, there flamed
2214
a sincere desire to be of service. The organization of our industries kept pace with the organization of our armies.
Activities of the Red Cross and other welfare agencies matched the activi- ties of government. Money poured forth in an endless golden stream. From almost the day of war's declaration men in uniform moved to training camp, to the rendezvous of their units or volunteered at recruiting stations. Within the brief period before the Selective Service Act became operative, more than 6,000 sons of Luzerne County had volunteered for military or naval service. After the passage of that act, thus preventing further recruitment by voluntary processes, more than 40,000 men of military age were passed upon by Selective Service Boards appointed to sit at various points in the county. Some 22,000 of these were inducted into some branch of service of the military and naval establishments.
It was the hope of the present writer to conclude this Volume with a list of names of those who were actually called to the colors. How impossible such enumeration is at the present time is disclosed by records of the war on file in the office of the Adjutant General of Pennsylvania at Harrisburg. Some 464,000 names are recorded there in alphabetical order. The residence at time of en- listment and the organization in which each served are carried on this record. But the names are not listed from the standpoint of counties. When asked how long it would require for an individual to go through this list for the purpose of ascertaining the residence of each service man on the rosters, the Adjutant General genially replied that from two to six years would be consumed in the task.
Every organization of the Regular army, the National army, the Marine corps and nearly every ship of the Navy carried the names of sons of Luzerne County on their rosters. Records of the 109th Field Artillery are preserved in- tact and the outstanding accomplishments of this splendid regiment embellish the pages of the notable record of the 28th Division of which it was a part. To mention the names of this organization without being able to include the names and records of thousands of others who shared equally in the stirring events of the greatest conflict of history would, in the judgment of the writer, work an injustice.
If the justice of this decision applies to those who wore the uniform, it more fittingly applies to non-military organizations composed of thousands of men and women of Luzerne County who aided a righteous cause by every means within their power.
The sacrifice, anxiety and unremitting effort of those who volunteered in the manifold services of their country in other than martial capacities would command a volume in itself.
The physical incapacity of General C. Bow. Dougherty and others brought about through almost ceaseless exertion in the performance of civilian duties concerned with Luzerne County's proud record in this respect, were casualties of the struggle no less than were those suffered on the field of battle.
Let us rather say that we all "did our bit" as opportunity offered to save a world when civilization seemed tottering.
Who may speak of the Armistice or of the return of our men when an honor- able peace was proclaimed, without a thrill of the delirious joy which marked those occasions?
2215
And who remembers the slower and more painful return of Colonel, after- wards to become Major-General Asher Miner, Pennsylvania's outstanding figure of the great struggle, but with a feeling of reverence and a revival of those patriotic emotions which swayed America to deeds of the deepest spiritual significance.
Finally, as the picture fades from these pages, comes a thought for the boys who did not come home. In camp and on battle field they sealed their devotion and made the Great Sacrifice :-
Verily of them may be said:
"On Fame's eternal camping grounds Their silent tents are spread- And Glory marks with solemn round The bivouac of our dead."
Thus ends the Harvey-Smith History
It was a labor of understanding, appreciation and love on the part of Oscar Jewell Harvey.
In case of the present writer, it was a duty undertaken to a community which does not record his birth, but one which has gained the sincerity of his regard.
Whatever may be the faults of the narrative may be set down as literary deficiency rather than any lack of honest purpose.
