The GREATEST MOTHER in the WORLD
THE RED CROSS
No civilian activity of the great world war aroused so entirely the popular interest and made a so direct, human appeal to the great mass of people in Knox- ville and Knox County-irrespective of creed, color, or station in life-as the Red Cross. Its international emblem, the symbol of mercy, justice and humanity, evoked an overwhelming response whenever a call was made in its behalf. People literally asked to contribute to its cause with their money or to give their time and labor for its sake. Its motives were so high and so pure that no one ever questioned what became of the wealth that was poured out to relieve the suffer- ings of a war-torn and grief-stricken world.
Never an appeal of any kind for assistance was made that it was not more than answered. If workers were needed, there were more than there was physi- cal room in which they could labor comfortably. If contributions of money for the support of the national and local chapter were necessary, they were far be- yond what was asked. In the first campaign, Knox County was asked to raise $75,000 as its quota. The contributions were $95,000. In the second campaign, in which an equal amount was asked, the subscriptions were $80,000 within three hours after the campaign had started. They reached approximately $125,000 before the avalanche of gifts stopped.
But great as were the donations of money to the Red Cross by Knox County- more than $200,000 was collected in the two campaigns-the hundreds of thous- ands of hours of unselfish, loving work were infinitely greater. Of the more than 16,000 members in the county, over 6,000 were engaged actively in Red Cross work. Ninety-six women and men were awarded badges for doing 800 hours of work, twenty-six women received them for 1,600 hours of labor, while eleven women gave 2,400 hours each of their time and strength in the interest of the work. These figures do not take into account the thousands of women and girls who did less than these amounts, either in the privacy of their homes during leisure moments or in the regularly organized work rooms of the Red Cross chapter.
408
An insight into the magnitude of the work accomplished by the Knoxville chapter, its branch chapter in St. John's Episcopal Church, and its three score auxiliaries, is given in the final report to the southern division headquarters of the national organization. From the incorporation of the chapter on February 7, 1917, until April 30, 1919, the sum of $88,541.82 was collected for local use, while $77,748.05 of this amount was disbursed for materials and other necessary expenses. In the surgical dressing department, 607,368 articles were made at a cost of $8,282.20. The garment department turned out 30,238 articles at an ap- proximate cost of $17,500. The knitting department made 25,703 articles at a cost of $12,572.98. The St. John's branch made 54,654 compresses, 16,876 pleated bandages, 1,000 hospital garments, and knitted 447 pairs of socks and 155 sweaters. The civilian relief department gave assistance to 3,128 families by means of loans, visits, medical attention, legal advice, and correspondence in re- gard to allotments, allowances, and insurance. The loans amounted to $4,579.71, of which $2,396.07 was repaid by those to whom they had been made.
Mrs. N. E. Logan was the first director general of woman's work in the Red Cross chapter. She served until May 1, 1918, when she went to France in the canteen service. She was succeeded by Mrs. J. Stewart French, who served until the active work closed. There were eight departments into which this work was divided-surgical dressings, garments, knitting, military relief, civilian re- lief, education, canteen, and junior departments.
The surgical dressing department started in humble quarters in the rear of the Board of Commerce. Mrs. Charles Huff Davis was supervisor, with Mrs. Benjamin D. Bosworth as assistant. A second move was necessary in the interest of more room, while a third one was made into the "war quarters" in Market Hall, where there were accommodations for 300 women to work at one time. The making of dressings was carried on both day and night.
Mrs. A. J. Albers was the first superintendent of the garment department, but she was succeeded by Mrs. W. A. McBath, who gave almost a year of her time to the work. This was one of the most interesting of the departments, for the garments were cut from the raw cloth by an electric cutter, operated solely by women, sewed, inspected and packed, ready for shipment to foreign hospitals. They turned out the finished product, ready for a patient to put on.
The knitting department had an humble origin, starting in a small room in the Lyceum building. From that it grew to large proportions under the super- vision of Mrs. Walter McCoy. Nearly all of the work was done in individual homes, hundreds of women taking home skeins of yarn and knitting gloves, sweaters and socks in odd moments when there were no other duties. The total of their labors was more than 25,000 finished articles.
The civilian relief department met a great need in attendance to the wants and welfare of those who had relatives in some branch of federal service. More than 3,000 families, many of them needy, were assisted regularly from June 1, 1917, to May 1, 1919. Service rendered to these families included financial re- lief, visits to homes for various purposes, medical attention, legal advice, and correspondence regarding allotments, allowances, and insurance. The record committee instructed 800 drafted men in filling out allotment and allowance blanks. Loans of about $4,500 were made to needy families, of which $2,400 afterward was collected. Mrs. Albert G. Hope was chairman of this department until January, 1918, when she was succeeded by Mrs. J. Walter Wright.
The military relief committee, with Richard K. Gibson as chairman, gave its assistance to those in the service who were in need of help. Before the local guardsmen went to Camp Sevier, they were supplied with necessary clothing and medical supplies. After they arrived in camp, the committee continued its super- vision of them by importuning the government for heavier and warmer clothing during the severe winter. Working in connection with the canteen, a relief booth was installed at the Southern depot where soldiers' packages were looked after, tickets exchanged, the sick and needy helped, and meals and lodging fur- nished. Loans were made to many soldiers who were temporarily short of funds.
409
During the influenza epidemic, medicine, supplies and clothing were furnished to the troops encamped at the University of Tennessee and at Chilhowee Park. Soldiers in hospitals were visited and relatives informed of their health.
In response to the need for trained workers, more than a score of members of the Red Cross Chapter volunteered for canteen, nursing or executive work. On the opposite page are shown the photographs of eleven of them. They are: (1)-Fred. A. Ault, Deputy Comptroller of the National Red Cross at Washing- ton from May, 1918, to July, 1919, who had, in that capacity, final review and ap- proval of all Red Cross expenditures; (2)-E. W. Ogden, former president and one of the organizers of the Knoxville Chapter, who went to France in 1917 and served for a year in Red Cross work; (3)-Mrs. E. W. Odgen, who also saw a year of foreign service in the direction of Red Cross work in France; (4)-Miss Julia E. Hoyne, Red Cross nurse who went overseas in November, 1918; (5)-Miss Anna Magee Sanford, who did canteen work in France from July, 1918, to April, 1919; (6) -Miss Margaret Mckinney, who was also overseas in canteen work for the Red Cross from November, 1918, to August, 1919; (7)-Miss Ella Williams, a canteen worker, who served in France from January, 1918, to March, 1919, in French and American canteens; (8)-Miss Anne Gettys, also a canteen worker in France for six months; (9)-Mrs. N. E. Logan , director of woman's work in the Knoxville Red Cross Chapter until her departure in July, 1918, for Europe, where she managed canteens at Bordeaux, France, and Treves, Germany; (10)-Miss Stella Wade, Red Cross nurse at Camp Jackson from August to December, 1918; (11)-Miss Mary Rachel Shackelford, who did Red Cross nursing at Camp Mcclellan and Camp Wadsworth during the war.
The Junior Red Cross, organized early in 1918, grew into large proportions and did splendid work. Thirty-one auxiliaries were organized with a total mem- bership of about 12,000. These were principally in the city and county schools. More than $3,000 was raised and disbursed by the children in their work. Sixty French war orphans were adopted and provided for during a period of two years. In the manual training departments of the schools, the boys and girls made packing boxes for surgical dressings, applicator sticks for use in surgical packets, and other useful articles. The girls knitted sweaters, wristlets, and quilt squares. A total of 106,027 articles was turned out by members of the Junior Red Cross.
No branch of the Red Cross Chapter was more popular or filled a more direct need than the canteen at the railroad station, organized early in 1918 by Mrs. A. F. Sanford, and conducted later under the direction of Mrs. E. E. Norris and Mrs. E. C. Gothard. Between 300,000 and 400,000 troops, which passed through Knoxville enroute to camps or returning home to hospitals from the battle field, were served by the canteen. Regular shifts of workers stayed on duty seven days in the week from six o'clock in the morning until eleven o'clock at night. No matter what kind of weather or what the hour, every train was met and refresh- ment offered to all men in uniform. During the months the canteen was in operation, the sum of $11,927.91 was expended in buying supplies and equipment. An appropriation of $2,500 was made by the Red Cross chapter, but the rest was contributed by patriotic citizens.
However, the donations of money were a tiny mite compared to the value of gifts of food made by housewives of the city and county and by the wholesale fruit houses. Jellies, preserves, sandwiches, pastries, fruits, and all kinds of delicacies were contributed in season and out of season by those who wished to do "their bit" in this way. No man in uniform was ever allowed to pass through the railroad station without a uniformed worker offering him cigarettes, coffee, pies, or any other delicacy that was in stock at the time. It made no matter whether he was a Tennessean or a native of another state. The uniform was the "open sesame" for a shower of attention by the canteen workers.
This personal attention, this kindness and untiring attention, this cordiality shown to all alike made the canteen a mighty instrument in maintaining a high morale among the troops, as well as ministering to their material needs. Often a home-sick and discouraged soldier, far away from home and loved ones, poured out his wees into the sympathetic ear of some canteen worker, who gave him en- couragement and sent him smiling on his way.

In addition to these kindly services, first aid was rendered to 370 soldiers, 87 were taken from trains to hospitals, guides were furnished for detachments which had a few hours between trains and which wished to take walks over the city, telegrams were sent to relatives, more than 1,000 conducted to the Y. M. C. A. for baths and swims, while hundreds of thousands of post cards were given to men on which to write home.
Ossoli Circle, shortly after war was declared, took up the making of hospital garments among its membership. This work was thoroughly organized, perfected and continued until the last days of 1917, when it was merged with the central garment makers' department of the Red Cross. The circle thereafter devoted its time to other war work. Its most notable achievement, however, was the for- mation of 35 auxiliaries among the churches of the city and county, and among the county seats of the surrounding counties.
The only auxiliary of the Knoxville chapter that grew to the proportion of being raised to a branch in rank was the one organized in August, 1917, among the membership of St. John's Episcopal Church. The auxiliary started and kept through to its end the same board of officers. They were Dr. Walter C. Whit- aker, president; R. K. Gibson, chairman of finance; Fritz Staub, chairman of relief work; D. M. Chambliss, chairman of supplies; George F. Harrison, secre- tary and treasurer. From August until November, 1917, the sewing rooms in the Lyceum building were used, but thereafter the auditorium of the parish house was converted into a work room in which bandages and surgical dressings were made. On April 1, 1918, in recognition of its fine work, the St. John's auxiliary became the St. John's branch of the Knoxville chapter. It was entirely self- supporting and did all kinds of Red Cross work. During the twelve months of active operation, the following articles were turned out by the women of this branch: 54,654 compresses, 16,876 plaited bandages, 1,000 hospital garments, 587 pads and belts, 60 sweaters, 38 sponges, 12 bathrobes, 447 pairs of socks, and 155 sweaters. This made a total of approximately 75,000 articles. Many of the offi- cers and instructors in the parent chapter came from St. John's Church.
In conclusion, it should be noticed that the Knoxville chapter of the Red Cross was in the field and working before war was declared on April 6, 1917. Due to the efforts principally of Mrs. N. E. Logan, an organization had been perfected two months earlier, on February 6, and therefore work was well under way when the formal declaration came. The first officers were E. W. Ogden, president; Powell Smith, vice-president; N. E. Logan, treasurer; and Mrs. C. M. McClung, secretary. The directorate was composed of George Blow, Fred Bonham, N. E. Logan, Powell Smith, A. H. Steere, W. A. Schoenfield, Ben Morton, Curtis B. Johnson, E. W. Ogden, Mrs. Lena Warner, and Mrs. Lucy Templeton.
In the two years of exceedingly busy work which followed, there were many changes of officers and directors. Mr. Ogden resigned the presidency on October 1, 1917, to go to France in the Red Cross work. He was succeeded by Fred Ault, who served until March 19, 1918, when John M. Thornburgh became the active head of the chapter. After serving a year as treasurer, Mr. Logan was succeed- ed by Fred Ault, who, in turn, was succeeded by William Lyons. Mrs. McClung retired in 1919 after giving two years of her time as secretary of the chapter. Mrs. E. W. Ogden, who had returned from France as a Red Cross worker, was chosen in her place.
The directorate during the two years of active work was composed at one time or another of the following: Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Logan, Fred Bonham, Mrs. Lena Warner, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Ogden, A. H. Steere, Mrs. L. D. Tyson, D. A. Rosenthal, E. D. Albers, R. K. Gibson, John M. Thornburgh, William Lyons, Mrs. W. McBath, Mrs. J. Stewart French, Mrs. Walter McCoy, Mrs. B. D. Bosworth, A. P. Frierson, Wiley L. Morgan, Mrs. Henry Kelso, Mrs. Clyde Goth- ard, Dan Chambliss, F. J. Callan, Mrs. C. M. McClung, Mrs. Albert Hope, Mrs. C. H. Davis, Fred Ault, G. H. Clark, Mrs. Walter Wright, and Mrs. Kenneth Gilpin.
