FOREWORD
The title chosen for this volume is "Davidson County Women in the World War." although it is a very complete record of World War work done by women's organization- throughout the State of Tennessee, inasmuch as the State headquarters of all patriotic organizations was located in Davidson County. With the exception of Mr -. Georg . W. Denny. of Knowville. State Chairman of the Woman's Committee. Council of National Defense. and Mrs. Sam Phillips, of Memphis. State Chairman of the Fourth Liberty Loan. the women selected to direct the work of Tennessee World War organizations were residents of Davidson County. Also the presidents of practically all State organizations and clubs, which were in existence at the time of our entrance into the World War. were Davidson County women.
These existing organizations, by their suggestions and activities, were workshops for ideas for the newly-organized patriotic bodies. Among these were: Tennessee Federation of Women's Clubs. Mrs. Mex. S. Caldwell, President: Tennessee Society of Colonial Dames. Mrs. James H. Kirkland. President; Tennessee Equal Suffrage Association. Mrs. Leslie Warner, President: Daughters of the American Revolution. Mrs. Edwin A. Price, Tennessee Regent: Woman's Auxiliary. Southern Commercial Congress. Miss Louise Grundy Lindsley. Chairman-General: State Housewives' League. Miss Louise Grundy Lindsley. President: United Daughters of the Con- tederacy. Tennessee Division. Mrs. Bennett D. Bell. President: Parent-Teachers' As- sociation, Tennessee Division. Mrs. Eugene Crutcher. President; King's Daughters. Tennessee Division. Mrs. W. E. Vorvell. President: Tennessee Capitol Association, Mis. Robert F. Weakley. Presiden! : and Tennessee State Fair. Home and Educational Department. Mr -. Robert Wharton Nichol. Director.
Furthermore, there are recorded in this book records of Davidson County Gold Star heroes of the World War and the three thousand Davidson County veterans whose families contributed to the Gleaves sword Fund.
National authorities acknowledge and record that the women of David-on County led the women of the South in virtually every campaign and drive for World War relief work. and that they accomplished result- which were unsurpassed in the en- tire country.
This recognition of David-on County's achievements inspired the twenty-four publie-spirited women of the County. who compose the Advisory Council of this work and whose executive ability and devotion to duty were demonstrated daily during the wat, to undertake the stupendous task of preserving a record of these ihrevements. They felt a sense of pride in being given the privilege of securing. as

DAVIDSON COUNTY WOMEN IN THE WORLD WAR, 19111919
a heritage for posterity, the records of patriotic services rendered voluntarily by the women of Davidson County in the greatest war that has ever been staged in history. To these women this publication owes its existence.
The work of compilation began immediately after the close of the war while memory was fresh, in spite of the fact that prices were inflated. llowever, at this time it was possible to secure a more complete and accurate record. The council members, fired with the true spirit of patriotism and possessing the dauntless courage and supreme capacity for endurance which characterized our fighting forces in battle, steadfastly held to the determination of accomplishing their purpose. They originated their own ways and means and overcame almost insurmountable diffi- culties in accomplishing their aims. They were well aware. when they assumed this responsibility, that the cost of production would exceed the receipts of sales. yet they continued the fight with "conspicuous bravery." At the final meeting, when the fact was announced that sufficient funds were in the bank to begin publication, the signing of the contract with the publishers occasioned a rejoicing among these sponsors similar to that occasioned by the first news of the signing of the Armistice.
The "Distinguished Service Cross" merited by the women of the Advisory Coun- cil is the satisfaction that they have passed on to future generations a record of the part their ancestors played in the first war known in history where women were drafted into service. Not one woman whose name appears in connection with the compiling or publishing of this volume, which required months and months of labor, has received any compensation for her services.
The expense of the Gold Star illustrations, of the dedication pages, of the scrap- of-paper illustration, of the memorial for women World War workers, of the frontis- piece and of many other illustrated pages of this volume was borne by the Advisory Council in addition to the cost of publication. They purchased a number of volumes and presented them to many Davidson County mothers, whose sons paid the Supreme Sacrifice. to Libraries of Tennessee and to National Headquarters of the organizations represented in this book. The earnest endeavor of these patriotic women to "carry on." regardless of toil or sacrifice, justified and encouraged the compiler of this book to "finish the job."
If there are any honors to accrue therefrom I would like to share them with each council member. Their loyalty. their unselfish devotion. their utmost con- fidence and eager willingness to assist during the struggles that naturally accompany a gigantic effort of this character, afforded the writer the support necessary through- out the long period of compilation and publication.
