"The military program requires a full registration on Registration Day and an expeditious classification of the registrants. It calls for the whole-hearted and persistent cooperation of the State.
"The obligation to register is placed on all male persons of the desig- nated ages in the United States on September 12, 1918, whether citizens of the United States, persons who have taken out their first papers only, or aliens.
"The place of registration will ordinarily be the voting place of the voting precinct in which the registrant resides. If, for any reason, in any locality this place is not used, special local notice will be given.
"The registration place will be opened at seven o'clock in the morning and will close at nine in the evening, though it is hoped the registra- tion will be completed early in the evening.
"Persons who are likely to be absent from their homes on September 12th, 1918, and who cannot register personally with the Local Board having jurisdiction over their place of residence should present them- selves at the earliest possible moment to any Local Board wherever they may be. This Local Board will furnish such persons with a registra- tion card and certify to the answers made on such cards. The duty, however, is placed upon such persons to see that such cards are filed with their own Local Board. This should preferably be done by regis- tered mail. There should be inclosed with the card a self-addressed, stamped envelope in order that a registration certificate may be issued to the persons registering. Special provision has been made to reg- ister the sick.
"Male persons of the designated age who, on account of absence at sea, or on account of absence without the territorial limits of the United States, may be unable to register as absentees will, within five days after reaching the first United States port, register with his proper Local Board or as provided for other absentees.
"I call upon the Secretary of State, County Clerks, Boards of Registry, Inspectors of Election and all other public officials to perform such duties as are assigned to them by Chapter 196 of the Laws of 1917 and by the Local Boards.
"I call upon all male persons of the designated ages, who will be away from home on Registration Day, to go now to the office of the Local Board and register.
"I call upon all other persons who are required to register to go early in the day to the place of registration and to enroll themselves in their country's service.
"I call upon every public agency, and every public official to cooperate heartily with the Local Boards to see that wide publicity is given to the facts about Registration and that every facility is provided for a complete registration as early in the day as it is possible to have it.
"I call upon the newspapers of the State who so splendidly responded to the recent call of the draft administration for assistance in the special registration; for even more generous assistance in performing the larger task that is immediately ahead of us.
"I call upon all citizens who are willing to assist in the registration to offer their services to the Local Boards of the State.
353
WISCONSIN'S WAR ACTIVITIES
"I call upon all citizens and residents who are not required to register to dedicate themselves anew that there may the sooner be a "new birth of freedom" for the world.
"In conformity with the Proclamation of the President of the United States, I, Emanuel L. Philipp, Governor of the State of Wisconsin, do hereby designate and appoint the Twelfth day of September, nineteen hundred eighteen as registration day and call upon all persons of the designated age to present themselves on this day at the proper office of registration to exercise the high privilege of enrolling themselves for such military or other service as the constituted authorities may determine, and I urge that the business interests of the state will give the men who are required to register every opportunity to do so; that flags be displayed on public buildings and private homes; and that this day on which thirteen million of our people will formally dedicate themselves to the great cause of the country, of humanity, of civiliza- tion, shall be fittingly and solemnly celebrated."
This proclamation was printed in red, white and blue and widely dis- tributed throughout the state.
The preparations for the registration were soon completed and the registration could have been held in this state on September 5 or 6. On September 6, the Governor wired the Provost Marshal General as follows:
"The entire registration machinery of Wisconsin as usual volunteers en masse its services without cost to the Federal government for the registration of September twelfth."
The telegram was printed the next day as a memorandum with the following comment: "We are sincerely appreciative of your patriotic cooperation to make every dollar do its utmost on the firing line.
"Your spirit is splendid!
"Congratulations!"
Registration day proceeded in the usual orderly manner without note- worthy incident.
At midnight of September 12, Wisconsin had registered 308,861 per- sons. The following telegram was sent to the Provost Marshal Gen- eral at midnight September 12:
"Wisconsin gladly adds to its honor roll 308,861 registrants as follows: 261,885 citizens; 26,258 aliens; 21,728 declarants; 307,920 whites; 1,064 colored.
"Wisconsin eagerly awaits your instructions to proceed with the selective process. Wisconsin will be ready to furnish its quota for October."
With the late registrants the number of men registered under this last registration was 308,579-making a gross registration in the state of 584,559.
Stopped at Full Speed
November 11, 1918
November 11 was a busy day. At 2:00 in the morning, unofficial news had reached the state that the armistice had been signed and the cele- bration began immediately. There was still lurking, however, in peo- ple's minds the fear that this news might also be an error as was the premature announcement of November 7.
On November 9 the Provost Marshal General wired the Governor as follows:
"Account rumors and newspaper statements that an armistice has been signed, requests are reaching this office for information concern- ing the mobilization ordered during the five day period beginning No- vember 11 and subsequent mobilization will continue as usual until the War Department cancels the requisitions upon this office. No such
23-B. B.
354

.
cancellation has been ordered, and Local Boards should proceed to en- train men on regular schedule until advice is received from this office. In the event of cancellation you will be promptly advised."
We wired the Provost Marshal General in reply to this telegram:
"On Thursday evening we wired all boards to continue work unin- terruptedly and to fill current calls unless cancelled by official orders through this office."
The telegram sent to the local boards on November 7 was as follows: "Unless specific orders are received, work of Local Boards will pro- ceed uninterruptedly. Current calls must be filled."
On the morning of November 11, telegrams came in fast, as did telephone calls, asking for instructions regarding the men who were to be inducted into service on that day and the men who were to be en- trained. The instructions given to all inquiries were to proceed un- interruptedly with the work. Local Boards advised this office that the railroad companies had instructed their agents not to furnish trans- portation to selected men to be entrained on that day and train crews would not take men aboard trains after ten o'clock in the morning. Quite a number of the contingents had actually been entrained and were proceeding on their way and were later returned.
- Upon inquiry at the telegraph office no telegrams had been received. Finally, about 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon Washington was called on the long distance telephone. Major Stephenson, in charge of the mob- ilization bureau of the Provost Marshal General's office, advised that the calls had been cancelled. There was immediately prepared a telegram which was taken over to the telegraph office and had sent to all Local Boards. The Provost Marshal's telegram which, according to the tele- gram itself, had been filed at 2 P. M., came over the wires at 4 P. M. and was received in its entirety at 4:40 P. M.
It may be interesting to note the relative progress of the work in this state as compared with the other states in the Union. The clas- sification of registrants between the ages of 19 and 21 and 32 and 36 had been completed in this state on October 30. We were the first large state in the Union to complete this classification and physical exam- ination. When the armistice was signed only five states in the Union had completed the classification: Utah, Nevada, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Arkansas.
Orders had been given that the examination of registrants 18 years of age and of 37 to 45 should proceed. At the time of the armistice the following local boards had completed also the classification and physi- cal examination of registrants eighteen years old and those 37 to 45 inclusive: Kenosha, Rock No. 2, Lafayette, Outagamie No. 1, Outa- gamie No. 2. and Trempealeau-a truly great achievement. Washington and Green Lake counties had almost completed their work.
Subsequent Developments
Every effort was devoted, after November 11, to the preparation of the various forms of statistics asked for by the Provost Marshal Gen- eral. These reports were pushed vigorously by all the Local Boards of the state and the final report of the classification requested on No- vember 30 and again on December 10 were completed in a very short time after these dates.
About December 1 the boards were a little restive in the fact that they had practically nothing to do, pending the receipt of the orders for final closing. The draft executives of 30 states and the twelve national inspectors were called into Washington for a conference to formulate an expeditious and efficient method of closing up the draft, and particularly to take care of deserters. An elaborate system of
355
WISCONSIN'S WAR ACTIVITIES
verifying all the bookkeeping of the draft had been approved at this conference by a vote of 39 to 3, Major Fitzpatrick, Mr. Swisher, of Iowa, and one other inspector voting against the plan. A committee consisting of Mr. Swisher, of Waterloo, Iowa, Mr. O'Kelliher, of Oconto, both national inspectors, and Major Fitzpatrick appealed directly to General Crowder. The conference plan was finally rejected, and the committee worked out, under the direction of General Hugh S. Johnson, the plan of closing up (as outlined in Form 4000) which was finally adopted. The plan was carried out effectively in this state by General Holway, after the resignation of Major Fitzpatrick.
Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant
As a part of the record, it seems advisable that the words of praise from the Provost Marshal General should be brought together in one place.
When in Washington in November, 1917, the writer came out of the Army and Navy Building with General Crowder and at the foot of the steps in the Pennsylvania Avenue entrance he stopped before parting to tell me his opinion of the administration of the Selective Service Law in Wisconsin. General Crowder's appearance does not suggest the poetic, nor should anyone expect this stern soldier to talk in poetic terms, yet his characterization of the work of the Selective Service System of Wisconsin was poetic. In fact, he said he had written the Secretary of War in a special report that the administration of the law in Wisconsin was poetic. At this time, he recalled the fact that he had already writ- ten us that he had come to expect the impossible of Wisconsin.
The success of the administration of the law in Wisconsin had not . been expected by the Provost Marshal General's office. In fact, mem- bers of the staff of the Provost Marshal General's office told me they were fearful. The action of certain members of the Wisconsin delegation helped somewhat to create that impression which was augmented by a number of the political opponents of the Governor who volunteered in- formation as to what might be expected. Dire things were expected.
But that is gone. The clouds were soon dissipated. The sun shone brightly and steadily.
General Crowder's letters and telegrams to Governor Philipp are here given:
Letter of June 21, 1917: "The splendid showing made by your state in preparing for the registration demonstrates what can be done in speeding up organization to an unprecedented degree and it is believed that the experiences there gained will enable us to organize even more promptly for the selection."
Telegram of June 28, 1917: "I have come to expect the impossible of Wisconsin."
Letter of September 7, 1917: "This suggestion will receive the earnest consideration to which anything emanating from you to this office is so highly entitled."
Letter of November 7, 1917: ". the wonderful administration of the Selective Service Law which I have so often noted in Wisconsin."
Letter of November 20, 1917: "We have had constant occasion to place Wisconsin at or near the head of our lists in nearly every step that has been taken, in the execution of the Selective Service Law."
Letter of January 19, 1918: "I am sure that your own spirit in this work has been communicated to members of Local and District Boards and to other persons in your state charged with the administration of the Selective Service Law and that this is the secret of the splendid work which has been done in Wisconsin."
Letter of February 15, 1918: "The rapid progress in the dispatch of cases by your District Boards has given great satisfaction to this office
356
WISCONSIN BLUE BOOK
and has enabled us to feel that a pace has been set by which we can justly estimate the progress of other boards. The exact and systematic methods which have been employed in your District Boards are much appreciated. In this stage of our military operations, when so much depends upon inducting new men promptly into the army and allotting them to their appropriate places, every day's speed gained by the se- lective service boards in dispatching their work, means a day gained in the operations of the army and a speedier termination of the war."
Letter of March 13, 1918: "This office is keenly appreciative of the personal interest taken by you in this work and desires to thank you for this further evidence of your efficient administration of the se- lective service act in the state of Wisconsin."
Letter of March 20, 1918: "Efforts have been made to have the vari- ous states undertake this work (central purchase of supplies) as it is impossible to control this question at this time from Washington. A memorandum showing 'How Wisconsin Does It' will be issued shortly."
Letter of October 29, 1918: "As I glance at my chart I see the ad- vanced state of the work of physical examination in Wisconsin and I congratulate you upon the results, feeling sure that in the further ex- amination of the 18 and 37-45 group you will find a way of repeating the enviable record you have made in classifying and examining the 19-20 and 32-36 group."
Letter of November 13, 1918: "I take this opportunity to convey my congratulations upon the vigorous and systematic manner in which the whole administration of the Selective Service System has been conducted in the State of Wisconsin.
Telegram of November 29, 1918: "I renew my congratulations to you on the record of Wisconsin."
