WASHINGTON'S PART
IN THE WORLD WAR
Pennsylvania Council of National Defense and Com- mittee of Public Safety
Washington County Branch
T HE Pennsylvania Committee of Public Safety was created in March, 1917, the several county branches being formed soon after. The duties of the committee were many and varied; in fact anything that pertained to the winning of the war and to the maintenance of peace and prosperity at home was within the scope of its activities.
The Washington County Branch was created by the ap- pointment of the following officers: Ernest F. Acheson, Washington, Pa., chairman; D. M. Campsey, Claysville, Pa., vice-chairman; H. B. Duncan, Washington, Pa., vice- chairman; C. C. Johnson, Canonsburg, Pa., treasurer ; J. V. Clark, chairman Executive Committee, Washington, Pa .; Warren Jackson, Washington, Pa., executive secretary. The death of Ernest F. Acheson, soon after his appointment, created a vacancy which was filled by the appointment of Col. James E. Barnett of Washington, Pennsylvania, late colonel of the Tenth Regiment, National Guard of Pennsyl- vania, now the Ioth Regiment, U. S. A. In August, 1917, Warren Jackson resigned from the committee and Carl D. Schultz of Washington, Pennsylvania, was appointed execu- tive secretary.
The following Executive Committee was appointed and served throughout the war: Ralph M. Allison, Thos. Pickett, John F. Curran, M. W. McClane, Mrs. Edwin Linton, Washington, Pa .; George B. Sprowls, D. M. Camp- sey, Claysville; Kerfoot W. Daly, Charleroi, Pa .; Joseph A. Herron, Monongahela, Pa .; C. C. Johnson, Canonsburg, Pa .; Joseph A. Herron, Monongahela, Pa .; C. C. Johnson, Canonsburg, Pa .; Jesse P. Miller, L. V. Martindell, Bealls- ville, Pa .; Edward McDonald, McDonald, Pa .; C. N. Savage. California, Pa .; J. P. Castner, Donora, Pa .; J. V. Clark, Jas. E. Barnett, and Carl D. Schultz, Washington, Pa.
The work of this committee was divided under separate heads which will be taken up in order and the activities of the several departments set forth briefly." Before taking this up, it might be well to say that the committee was merged with the Council of National Defense early in 1918 and appeared under the title of The Pennsylvania Council of National Defense and Committee of Public Safety, Wash- ington County Branch.
The Finance Department, H. B. Duncan, chairman, had charge of the securing of funds to carry out this work. They secured offices in the Lockhart Building, Washington, Penn- sylvania, collected the necessary equipment, and placed a stenographer in charge. Five stenographers were used in the order given but the office never employed more than one at a time : Misses Sara Day, Flossie Clutter, Ora Hall, Esther Meurtens, and Ruth Marsh.
The Publicity and Educational Department, John L. Stewart, chairman, had charge of all newspaper work. Articles were sent out from headquarters in Philadelphia for insertion in local papers and in addition about 500 local articles were written and published by the local committee. These articles had to do with everything from instructing the people as to how to conduct themselves during the war to the so-called American propaganda.
The Department of Allied Bodies, Jas. L. Lockhart, chair- man, organized all the different bodies in the county. They then worked through these bodies using them in Red Cross, Liberty Loan, and other war work. The response of the different organizations in the county was wonderful and the full volume of their work will never be fully known.
The Legal Advisory Committee, Jas. A. Wiley, Esq., chair- man, was formed to aid the soldiers in legal matters.
The Medicine, Sanitation, and Hospitals Department, Dr. A. E. Thompson, chairman, made a survey of drugs, nurses, doctors, and hospitals. This committee organized the entire county during the influenza epidemic, creating hospitals, fur- nishing nurses and drugs and even delivering them. This was one of the important departments and when Dr. Thompson entered the service, its work was taken over by the general committee. The Red Cross, by its splendid work, aided this department very materially and was a large factor in carrying on this important work of humanity.
The Department of Civic Relief, A. M. Linn, Esq., chair- man, was ever ready to fulfill the work for which it was cut out. Fortunately affairs did not progress to such an extent that they were rushed but the spirit and willingness shown by the members of this branch were such that they would have taken care of any call.
The Food Supply Department. J. M. McKee, chairman, worked out the Community Garden idea and aided the farmer in every way possible, even bringing tractors into the county to assist in their work. Hugh A. Day acted as farm manager, placing the boys from the Boys' Working Reserve, who were enrolled under his direction. Mr. Day visited the boys at their work and had the war lasted, was prepared to send out his forces in 1919.
The Motor Transport Department, Geo. B. Sprowls, chairman, made an exhaustive survey of the automobiles and trucks of the county and had them listed for immediate summons should the occasion arise.
The Department of Materials, M. W. McClane, chairman, and the Department of Plants, W. J. Reese, chairman, had charge of overseeing the condition and output of the local industries. They furnished the different plants with in-

formation and aided in the drive to naturalize the foreigners.
The Department of Civilian Service and Labor, J. Boyd Crumrine, chairman, enlisted over 300 men for the U. S. Public Service Reserve, the Ship Building yards, and Muni- tion Works. This department organized the county and had enlistment offices in each district. Mention has already been made of the Boys' Working Reserve in another paragraph ..
The Department of Volunteer Home Defense Police, Otto Luellen, chairman, organized the Volunteer Home Defense Police of the county. This organization was the largest in the state with the exception of those of Allegheny and Phila- delphia Counties. Ten companies and two detachments were formed in the county. One thousand four hundred and twenty-seven applications were sent to the governor and over 1,200 commissions and equipments were issued. The police did excellent work in all emergencies and could always be counted on. A uniform was adopted and every company placed in the hands of a competent drill master.
The Committee of Public Safety was responsible for the creating of the Food Administration, the Fuel Administra- tion, and the Department of Construction and Materials of Washington County.
The Speakers' Bureau, Dr. Wm. E. Slemmons, chairman, worked under the Council and Committee and used its offices for its work.
A Soldiers' Letter Day was selected by the Council and Committee and everyone urged to write to someone in the Service on that day. This was the eleventh of each month and the Service mail was increased throughout the county on that day from twenty to five hundred per cent.
A Secret Service, Harry S. Grayson, director, was estab- lished and men placed in every town and hamlet in the county with orders to report back to Washington. Most of the members of this group were taken from the Home De- fense Police and their work was of a very high order.
Registration of enemy aliens was made by the Council and Committee, under the direction of the United States marshal of Pittsburgh. Permits were issued to these enemy aliens on recommendation of the Council and Committee.
This brief outline of the work of the Council and Com- mittee is very inadequate and passes over many of its activities entirely. Lack of space forbids the mentioning of many who aided vastly but the conscious knowledge of patriotic duty. well done remains with them and is their reward for all time.
THE COMMITTEE.
