A brief summary of round figures for the five drives will prove that our county has done its full duty toward bringing the armed conflict to an issue. Detailed accounts cannot be given because of the lack of space, so if final reports as made known from State headquarters differ with this report, it is because we have been unable to give all minor accounts. Neither could we make hon- orable mention of many willing workers who deserve much praise. but the large number of subscribers, especially the large number of small subscribers, is most gratifying and indicates that the interest of the people was aroused as never before in issue of bonds. It was not financial gain that prompted the purchase of bonds, patriotic motives alone could have brought forth such results.
The final summary of the quotas allotted and subscriptions re- ceived for the five drives was approximately :

The approximate grand total from the five drives was $5 .- 107,500, plus $470.350 subscribed by Littlestown in the last three drives, or $5.577,850. The quotas allotted to the county were $5.061,400 in the five drives, which gives proof that the men in service were not alone in going over the top nor were they the only patriots to go "over the top."

CHAPTER V.
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.
The organization for the sale of war savings stamps was made the 3d day of January. 1918. Dr. Charles H. Huber was chosen chairman, and Prof. II. Milton Roth, vice-chairman; these men were ably aided in their work by Charles E. Stahle, Esq., who provided public speakers for numerous meetings throughout the county.
The thrift stamp sale was inaugurated in order to give many an opportunity to assist in financing the war work who otherwise could not have aided. Children became especially interested in thrift stamp savings because they could openly express their patriotie spirit with any sum of money they might have to offer. The stamp sale in schools throughout the county was very grati- fying and our school children are to be commended for their contribution to the country's cause.
Other agencies through which stamps were placed on sale were post offices, mail carriers, and prominent places of business. The county was divided into districts and a committee (which eo- operated with the central committee) was appointed for each. The districts with the chairman of the committee of each as ap- pointed were: Arendtsville, Prof. G. M. Rice; East Berlin, David M. Crist ; Littlestown, Roy D. Knouse; York Springs, W. Roy Starry; Biglerville, Harvey E. Schwartz; Aspers, Charles F. Asper; New Oxford, Theodore E. Warner; New Chester; John L. Stock; Orrtanna, George C. Strong; Flora Dale, Wal- lace D. Peters. and MeSherrystown, Edward T. Poist.
On the 14th day of January, 1918, Adams County received the announcement that her quota of war savings stamps was $686,- 380, or an assignment of $20.00 for each citizen. On the first day of the drive. Gettysburg sold $282.30 worth; by January 23d this figure rose to $1.827, while New Oxford at this time re- ported sales amounting to $3,873; East Berlin had sold $1,457 worth. By the 8th of February a total of $14,616.16, or 51 cents per capita, was reported and according to returns from each of the 110 selling stations March 28th this figure of sales inereased to $25,713.26.
Dr. Charles Huber was appointed chairman of the Adams
34

SALE OF WAR SAVING STAMPS.
County Public Safety Committee on April 17th, and Prof. C. B. Stover was appointed to head the Savings Stamp Committee.
The amount of sales per capita of 51 cents February 8 in- creased to $1.88 by the 10th day of May. On May 31st returns averaged $2.14 for each person and June 8th $2.59, or a total for the county of $88,940. Rev. Paul R. Pontius now took charge of the work. On June 24th, $100,000, or $2.89 per capita, was shown to be the advance made toward the large quota.
A special effort was now made and after a few weeks' work the reports showed that $121,765 worth, or $3.55 per capita, was at- tained July 13th. The thrift stamp work continued until the allotted time for it expired, January 10. 1919. Adams County raised $207,172 toward its quota of $686,000, or $6.04 toward an allotment of $20.00 for every man, woman and child.
An item of special interest to people of Adams County is to be noted in the work of the New Oxford distriet in its sale of thrift stamps. Mr. T. E. Warner, district chairman. received a special telegram of commendation from State Thrift Stamp Headquar- ters that New Oxford with a sale of $14,291.32 attained the highest record per capita of the State of Pennsylvania. The al- lotment per capita was $20.00 and New Oxford's report shows a subscription of $17.05 per capita. Other leading districts were Abbottstown, MeSherrystown. East Berlin, York Springs, and Arendtsville.
Y. M. C. A.
In 1918 the Young Men's Christian Association issued the ap- peal to the people of Adams County for $10,000. A committee to carry on the campaign was formed with the following mem- bers: John D. Keith, president ; C. H. Hartman, S. M. Bush- man and George H. Knouse. The work of this campaign was greatly interrupted by the influenza epidemie, but in spite of the handicaps of the flu ban a very high percentage of this amount was collected. It is interesting to note that the school boys of the county were assigned $650 as their share of the allotment.
Within a few days the boys had forwarded the sum of $654.50 to the local committee. Foremost among the collectors of this were the schools of Gettysburg, Littlestown, Arendtsville, East Berlin, Biglerville and New Oxford.
Y. W. C. A.
The Young Women's Christian Association received their ap- peal to raise $2.000 by January 15, 1918. Mrs. J. L. Burgoon,
36

treasurer of the association, reported that $1,920 had been col- lected on and before January 12, 1918.
K. OF C.
On January 13, 1918, the Catholic churches of Gettysburg, Hanover, MeSherrystown, Littlestown, New Oxford, Bonneauville, and Conewago put forth the appeal to raise $5,000 to help carry on the work of the Knights of Columbus. So generous was the giving that the sum of $5.125.01 was reported. Of this amount Hanover and Midway contributed $2,990.30; MeSherrystown, $916.25; Gettysburg. $451.50; Conewago chapel, $220.00; Lit- tlestown, $186.34; New Oxford, $180.00, and Bonneauville, $100.00.
CHAPTER VI.
IN MEMORIAM.
The county, state and nation of to-morrow are the monuments we. to-day, are building to our heroes of yesterday. The better life is, after all, the main worthwhile memorial we can erect in honor of our dead heroes. We must live henceforth in a different spirit because of the immense sacrifice that they have made in our behalf.
Many attractive and impressive memorials have been designed and constructed to perpetuate the memory of the sacrifices made by our soldiers everywhere. These memorials have taken the forms of tablet, school, hospital or community hall, but these symbols, lovely as they may be, are not a sufficient tribute to the memories of the fallen. In addition to these natural expressions. a more living tribute should be paid to those who tell not only of suffering and death; not only of patriotism and heroic action ; of long hikes and bitter conflicts; but also of a love of country so intense that life itself is laid upon the altar. They tell of armies of young men who had a forecast of the future opening up before them, of the very bone, sinew and heart of the land leaving home. the farm. the store, the shop. and the school, because they were stirred by but one motive, that of crushing the wildest. maddest autoeracy upon which the sun ever shone. Thus they helped to save for free people, free governments, which have stood the test of time and have been approved by the mature judgment of man- kind. The highest honor we can possibly pay our brave departed soldiers would be to live in the selfsame spirit in which they died. We will prove ourselves worthy of the vicarious sacrifice that has been made on our behalf only by living in the spirit of service. They have aided in making history: and the history of the past is the educator of the present and director of the future. If we learn the lessons to-day taught by their sacrifice, our heroie dead will not have died in vain.
Let us note the work of the demagogue. Ridpath gives. "the evil influence of the demagogne" as one of the general causes of our war of the rebellion. The same is applicable to the World War, and even to-day under our form of government the dema- gogne enjoys special opportunities for mischief. and the people
37
38
ADAMS COUNTY IN THE WORLD WAR.
suffer in proportion. With an intensely selfish nature he schemes only for the attainment of his own purpose and self aggrandize- ment. The demagogue's patriotism is never found on the battle's front but at the base of supplies. Fear, uncertainty and distress are everywhere in the world. Part of this is real, but the greater part may be the outcome of fear. The demagogue is abroad in the world. He is not clothed in red alone. But the will of our people expressed by the ballot must rule in a government by the people. It demands loyalty and moral obedience to human law. Our honored dead have fought and bled to have it so for us.
The necessity of educating the children in our schools in the underlying principles of government is another lesson for us. They are the future rulers. The history of the country from '76 to the present should enter into the fabric of their being in order that with an intelligent conception of the cost of the union they may steer the ship of state clear of the rocks in the future. Citi- zenship in our popular form of government demands intelligence, knowledge of the constitution, and a conscientious regard for the ballot. The ballot cast by the citizen is for the weal or woe of the whole country. To be effective for good it must be based on knowledge of the needs of the country. Intelligent citizenship is a bulwark to any land. The rights on which our ballot is based have been wrestled through the outpouring of patriotic blood. Valley Forge, New Orleans and Appomattox made them sacred. The World War has been the installment paid by this generation to keep them so.
Finally, we should honor our fallen dead by seeking to strengthen what they have preserved : a land in which God is re- vered as a father and the rights of man jealously guarded, such a country honors her soldiers whose death has made it a reality. P. S. E.
