"Nevertheless, when the storm broke I was not for a moment in doubt as to its significance. For more than two years I was fully convinced that we were delaying participation in a conflict in which we were vitally in- terested,-on the issue of which our very existence as a nation probably depended. On the other hand, I realized that in a democracy the party in power can only act as far and as fast as it is supported by public opinion ; and our public was utterly incredulous as to the aims and perfidious methods of the government that was responsible for the war. Our people had heard and read so much about the progress of Germany in the arts of peace, about its admirable educational system, and about its superior educational methods, that they mistook knowledge and power for enlight- enment.
"There is no crime in the penal code that the German soldiers, encour- aged and abetted by their officers, have not committed. There is no prohi- bition laid down in the moral law that they have not disregarded. There is no deed of violence of which they are not guilty. They have raped, they have murdered in cold blood, they have looted, they have stolen or broken in pieces what they could not carry away. They have murdered without pity,-and slain without remorse,-women, children, old men and invalids. They have enslaved those they did not wish to kill, especially if they were women. From the lowest to the highest they have lied, they have per- jured themselves without scruple, they have broken the most solemn prom- ises, and have laughed at those who were credulous enough to trust their word. They have laid waste the invaded districts, they have ravished cities and villages, respecting neither crucifixes, nor priests, nor churches, nor hospitals, nor private property. They have made themselves drunk on stolen liquors, after which they demeaned themselves as men in that condition are wont to do, especially if there is no one to call them to ac- count or to punish them for their villainies. They have shot innocent peo- ple by squadrons, and have executed individuals after a farcical, trial. They have gloated over the sufferings of their victims and mocked at their agonizing cries for mercy. Their pastors have shouted pæans of victory over all these things and over worse,-if there could possibly be any worse,-as if they deserved praise rather than the bitterest execra- tion.

THE WORLD WAR AND PERRY COUNTY
"In June, 1908, Wilhelm presided at a council held at Potsdam. He spoke at great length, saying among other things: 'At this solemn hour I repeat this pledge before you, with the addition, however, that f shall not rest or be satisfied until all the countries and territories that once were German, or where great numbers of my former subjects now live have be- come a part of the great mother-country, acknowledging me as their su- preme lord in war and peace. Even now I rule supreme in the United States, where almost one-half of the population is either of German birth, or of German descent, and where three million German voters do my bid- ding at the Presidential elections. No administration can remain in power against the will of the German voters, who through that admirable organi- zation, the German-American National League of the United States of America, control the destinies of the vast republic beyond the seas.'
"In 1917 the Committee of Public Information in the United States re- ported the following activities of German agents, all or nearly all of the participants being in the pay of the Imperial German Government :
"Destruction of lives and property in merchant vessels on the high seas. "Irish revolutionary plots against Great Britain.
"Fomenting ill-feeling against the United States in Mexico.
"Subordination of American writers and lecturers.
"Financing of propaganda.
"Maintenance of a spy system under the guise of a commercial investi- gation bureau.
"Subsidizing a bureau for the purpose of stirring up labor troubles in munition plants.
"The bomb industry and other related activities.
"When the international roll of dishonor is made up, German names will be placed first, and there will be no one to challenge their primacy.
"From the very beginning of the conflict the Germans fired shells into the most thickly settled parts of cities and towns, whether fortified or not ; * and fortifications are never in cities. *
* Men were tied to stakes and burned alive. Mothers were shot with children in their arms and the chil- dren dealt with in the same way because they were orphans. Unarmed. youths were shot to prevent their becoming soldiers later on. Belgians of all ages were dispatched with bullets because they were a filthy people. Priests and nuns were special objects of ruffianism.
"Another form of outrage upon women and children that was frequently committed by the Prussians was to take refuge behind them. At one place twenty-five women and children were compelled to walk beside a column of the invaders to protect them against an enfilading fire. In numerous places the German solders forced civilians of both sexes to walk before them. At Nemy they drove five hundred men, women and children toward the English, who of course, not being Germans, did not fire upon them.
"There could hardly be a greater contrast than that which exists be- tween the English workingman and his German peer. The former feels a class consciousness, a sense of power and dignity ; he is firm, often to the verge of obstinacy, while the latter is hardly more than a chattel."
Dr. Super is recognized as an authority everywhere. He goes into the race characteristics of the Teuton, accounts for the status of the German woman, for the looting propensity of the Prussian, for the misconception of kultur against civilization that abides in the Teutonic mind, and other phases in all their bearings. His familiarity with Germany and its people and his skill as an accom- plished reasoner, together with his ability as a ripe scholar, con-

mands attention. He is a former Perry Countian, and elsewhere in this book will be found a biographical sketch of him.
The registration board, which conducted the selective draft, was composed of D. L. Kistler, chairman; J. C. Hench, secretary, and Dr. A. R. Johnston. Later James W. McKee was secretary, and still later, Luke Baker. Attorney John C. Motter was chief clerk. The legal advisory board was composed of James W. Shull, James M. Barnett, and Wm. S. Seibert. The associate advisory board was composed of Wm. H. Sponsler, Luke Baker, Walter W. Rice, James W. McKee, James M. McKee, and Charles H. Smiley, attorneys-at-law ; Samuel S. Willard, and Rev. Homer C. Knox. There were 1,616 men in the registration of June 5, 1917; 147 in the registration of June 5, 1918; forty-seven in the registration of August 24, 1918, and 2,366 in the registration of September 12, 1918, a total of 4,176. To thirty-nine camps and stations were entrained 474 drafted men, of whom fifty-two were rejected, thus leaving the number sworn into the service as 422. Owing to Perry County being an agricultural county many of the young men seek employment elsewhere. The high wages paid in the industrial plants during the war made this especially so, with the attendant result that the proportion of men sent from Perry County is much smaller than it would otherwise have been, as those men are cred- ited to their place of residence at that time.
Proportionately Bloomfield Borough furnished by far the largest number of voluntary enlistments in the county, having had thirty- one from a possible forty. Marysville led the county in number, having had forty. The voluntary enlistments from all districts follow : Blain, 4; Bloomfield, 31; Buffalo, 3; Carroll, 7; Centre, 6; Duncannon, 26; Greenwood, 9; Howe, o; Jackson, 5; Juni- ata, 8; Liverpool Borough, 16; Liverpool Township, 2; Madison, 9; Marysville, 40; Miller, 2; Millerstown, 17; New Buffalo, 4; Newport, 34; Oliver, I; Penn, 10; Rye, o; Saville, 6; Spring, 3; Toboyne, 3; Tuscarora, 3; Tyrone, 8; Watts, 7; Wheat- field, 3.
One of the incidents connected with the World War, in so far as Perry County is concerned, was the bringing of two French brides to its soil. Sergeant Montgomery Gearhart, of Millerstown, was united in wedlock to Miss Alice LeCointre, of Angiers, France, November 20, 1918. The other was reared in Soissons, Aisne, and was a prisoner of the Germans for fifteen days, who became the wife of Sergeant Robert Miller, having lost her father and only brother while fighting beneath the tri-colors of France.
Upon the ending of the World War the returned soldiers formed the American Legion, which has a number of Posts in Perry County. Its preamble is a masterpiece :
587
THE WORLD WAR AND PERRY COUNTY
"For God and country we associate ourselves together for the following purposes : To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States ; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate one hundred per cent Americanism; to preserve the memories and incidents of our association in the great war; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the state, community, and nation ; to combat autocracy, both of the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might * *
* to safeguard and trans- mit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy."
The American Expeditionary Forces, like the fighting forces of all our wars, have left their impress upon the period. They left part of their number to sleep on foreign soil, and the rest are scat- tered throughout the land. The American Legion Weekly, in a poem entitled "Requiem," gives a pen picture of them, which is worthy of being recorded, as a tribute to their spirit :
"It sprang from town and crossroads, when the call to battle came, And grinned and shung its pack upon its back;
It wrote red Chateau Thierry and the Argonne into fame, And swaggered, roaring down adventure's track.
It took a blasting, killing job, and damned it and went through, It faced six hells as part of every day ;
In lousy barns and trenches, just before the whistle blew It sang of homes three thousand miles away.
"It knew the sleepless box-car nights, the sweat, the drawn fatigue, It lined itself with "willie" and hard bread;
Its hobnailed columns pounded France, for league on rain-swept league, Its nearest dream of Heaven was a bed.
Its days are done and ended now ; its taps are sounding clear, One last long note, "Farewell"-and it is gone ;
It lives in distant memory, but that memory is dear, The soul of it alone still carries on."
Were it possible to publish a cut of every Perry Countian who participated in the World War it would gladly be done, but that would fill a volume in itself. From among them we have chosen three who were from typical Perry County families, and from three different sections of the county: Lieut. Edward Moore, son of Dr. and Mrs. E. E. Moore, of New Bloomfield; Sergeant Paul Fleisher, son of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Fleisher, of Oliver Township, and James G. Zimmerman, son of the late L. C. and Mrs. Zim- merman, of Duncannon. These three young men came from among the best and most substantial families of Perry County and were educated young men of promise and character, and one likes to think of them as representative of the rank and file which left the county for camp and cantonment, brave, resolute, and sturdy. Their photos are selected, for I knew them best. James Zimmer- man and Edward Moore I had known from their childhood, and . Paul Fleisher, in young manhood, as a fellow student of a member
