Adams and Fred Girton for Port Sheridan Association u 23A-5 "Friendship 473623 THIS BOOK, dedicated as a Memorial Volume to the men of the First and Second Fort Sheridan Training Camps, who gave their lives to the cause of Liberty and Justice, is issued with the fervent hope that it may, in a small measure, convey tribute to those gallant sons of the Middle West whom we knewT and loved. Many willing hands have had to do with the compiling and gathering of material and data herewith presented, and the work, which has been over a year in prepration, is one in which no effort has been spared. Thanks are first due to the officers and directors of the Fort Sheridan Association, that organization born of necessity during the Second Camp, for the broad and liberal aid which made this book possible. To the mothers and fathers of the lads who "Went West ', the Fort Sheridan Association presents a copy; and to every member of the Association a volume will be donated. The cost of which comes out of the Association treasury. Mrs. Chester M. MacChesney, director of the Home Service Department of the Fort Sheridan Association, has patiently and faithfully gathered photo- graphs and data covering the records of the Roll of Honor. Colonel Halsted Dorey, w^ho commanded the Fourth Infantry overseas, and who, under the direction of Major-General Leonard Wood, was one of the most indefatigable workers for training camps throughout the United States, has aided the work with a short synopsis of the Training Camp Movement. To Myron E. Adams, who, more than any other man, has made the Fort Sheridan Association what it is today, and who, as Director of Morale during the Second Training Camp, did so much to keep up the spirit of clean sports and healthy recreation and, as executive secretary of the Fort Sheridan Association, carried on the great work of the organization while the members were in service, the compiler is greatly indebted for the cheerful co-operation given. To Waldo M. Allen, a member of the First Battery of the First Camp, for his descriptive word picture of the First Training Camp. To the International Film Company and the Chicago Daily News for their hearty co-operation in securing the photographs of the training camp days. And last, but not least, to the many individuals who furnished informa- tion when all other sources seemed futile. If this Memorial Book, in its way, conveys a bit of human companionship and carries with it a breath of friendship from those who served to those whose loved ones sleep o'erseas and at home, its labor shall not have htvMi in vain.

Ah, well, they did not know, those sons Of drum and fife He did but give his death, w^hile one Gives all her life. Introduction The Power of a Nation Is Its Trained Manhood By BRIGADIER-GENERAL JAMES A. RYAN Commanding Second Camp BRIGADIER-GENERAL JAMES A. RYAN Commanding Second R. O. T. C. at Fort Sheridan THIS IS THE RECORD of the men from Fort Sheridan, 'the minute men of the Great War", who were torn from desk and w^orkshop and thrown in a camp to learn the rudiments of soldiering in the shortest possible time to save our country from a foreign foe. Almost tw^o precious years were allowed to pass w^ith the w^hole world aflame, yet no attempt was made to prepare for the conflict that w^e had to enter to save civilization. They came as students, these full grow^n men, and became pupils again under school masters. They sat at the feet of anyone who could show them this game of war, this life and death game that was thrust upon us. They were filled with the zeal of crusaders, for they felt the call, the Nation's call to them for sacrifice. No men ever responded more cheerfully or conformed to rigid military discipline with better grace than these same student soldiers. They worked hard for the prize of being a commissioned officer, and their application was thorough because each one realized that to omit anything might be fatal to him at a critical moment. The graduates of Fort Sheridan have justified every prophecy made of them. The lessons they learned at Fort Sheridan they applied at Chateau Thierry, Belleau Woods, and the Argonne Forest. They entered every branch of the service; they acquitted themselves w^ith honor; they w^ere marked men because they reflected in the army the lessons taught them at Fort Sheridan. This could be accomplished only because of the class of men sent to Fort Sheridan and the spirit of devotion to the cause they carried in their hearts. The pity of it all is the sacrifice they were called upon to make, on the altar of their country. The task set for the men of Fort Sheridan they accomplished. They paid the price exacted and these pages record the heroic deeds performed by those w^ho have gone beyond, but there is still another task undone which remains for those who have survived to make sure that those who died have not died in vain. The greatest monument that can be dedicated to their honor and the only one great enough for their sacrifice is "A law enacted that will forever prevent the necessity for such sacrifices in the future. " You owe it to your sons, your grandsons, and all coming generations, that the lessons taught by this war w^ill not pass unheeded. You owe it to yourself, and to your country, to train the youth of this land so that in any crisis that arises where resort to arms must govern, our young men will be trained in their youth in those elements of military life that w^ill enable them to join the colors at once should they be called. 14 IXTRODUCTIOX Drive the lesson home to everyone, make our people understand it, educate them to the necessity of saving this country from wars and rumors of wars, place the task on the shoulders of all and the burden will be light. With this accomplished, our fallen student officers will sleep in peace. Their reward will be a prosperous nation, a w^ar free nation. Those w^ho have been so fortunate as to have passed through this awful struggle and lived, let them spread the gospel of "Preparedness' , let them remind their forgetful neighbors that, behind all agreements, behind all treaties, behind all League of Nations or Hague Tribunals, there must be organized power to compel obedience. This power of a nation is its trained manhood; without it we have to petition for peace, with it we dictate peace. J. A. RYAN. Brigadier-General U. S. Army, Commandant of Second Fort Sheridan Training Camp. Americanism in Action The Fort Sheridan Association By MYRON E. ADAMS Executive Manager MYRON E. ADAMS Executive Manager The Fort Sheridan Association F RIENDSHIP and Necessity were the parents of the Fort Sheridan Asso- ciation. Long before the actual organization was born and given a name, the way w^as being prepared. The Spring of 1917 brought to Fort Sheridan thousands of men who had much in common. They had not waited. They had all stepped out of business, professions, colleges, and placed themselves at the disposal of the Government. They differed a great deal in age, ability, experience, and in other respects, but when they were packed aw^ay in the barracks at night or marched away on a hike by day, the past w^as erased and men w^ere measured w^ithin the companies by w^hat they had in their personalities, not by what the outside civilian said of them. Never were men subjected to a more careful personal scrutiny than in these companies. Corporal Common Sense or General Ridicule warned each candidate daily against depending for his position upon something that his family had done or he had accomplished before enlisting. It was a wholesome atmosphere. Men tried to w^in respect by doing their best and show^ing their strongest side, realizing that progress and oppor- tunity depended largely upon the good w^ill of their associates. In these close associations, men came to know each other. They found out some of the difficulties that lay behind the daily routine. They rubbed elbow^s, not merely on the march, but in some of the quiet hours w^hen they visited with their "bunkies." Here is one illustration — there were hundreds more. Two men bunked side by side — one, a carpenter by trade, came from a small village up North; the other, a leading young business man, from a large city. As they worked together a real friendship developed and a mutual understanding. In the course of their training the business man learned a great deal from the carpenter, who had military experience and real qualities of leadership, and the carpenter was never too tired to explain everything to him. Both were reticent about their personal affairs, but one night the business man knew that his "bunkie" was in trouble. The carpenter rolled sleeplessly on his cot. Early the next morning the business man took him aside and made him explain. This w^as what he found out: The carpenter had left a sickly wife and two children at home in order to come to Fort Sheridan. His wife had been in the hospital. One of the children was sick and funds were exhausted. The paltry $100 a month which the candidate received, without an allowance of quarters of the family, w^ould not meet his obligations. He must resign. 18 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION' The business man went to see the commander of the company, told him the circumstances, and asked permission to have his pay given each month to his "bunkie," explaining that he regarded his experienced services as im- portant enough to justify the Captain urging him not to resign. This the company commander did, and when he told the carpenter that his "bunkie" wanted his monthly pay placed to his account, he hesitated for a moment and said. "If he can afford to do it, I will take it, although I wouldn't take it from any one else, for we are both in the same boat and he understands." And the businesss man thought of the hundreds and thousands he had spent in pleasure in this and other lands and realized that he never had either the same pleasure or the same spirit of giving through all his experiences. At the close of the camp, both these men were commissioned. The carpenter completed the service as a major and so did the business man, but back of that they both came out with a better understanding of life: a broader mutual kindliness. Through the course of the months the necessity and the spirit increased. Men who were to share the hazards of battle w^ere not merely involving them- selves, but thousands of others — Mothers and Fathers — Wives and Sisters. Sometimes you would see a little w^oman come into the camp from a distance. Her little children were with her. There was a look of pride as the long lines swept by. There was a rush of tender embrace when the ranks w^ere broken and the father greeted the new^ arrivals, and there was an equal touch of sadness when they departed. Sometimes you would see a man, silent, apart, troubled. Investigation would show that he was not afraid of the battle line, he was not above going as a private if he did not w^in a commission, but he could not shake off the anxiety about those whom he should leave behind. Worry and anxiety are the worst foe the soldier faces. They handicap him from the start. If he is an officer, they affect his intelligent direction of his men, his ability to grasp situations, as w^ell as the spirit which he imparts to those w^ho serve with him. His depression becomes not merely a personal inconvenience, but a severe handicap to all his men. He accepts the risks of battle, the discomforts of camp, as the fortunes of war, but when he faces the anxiety for the ones he left behind him, that is another question. There is where he must have real friends. The organ- ization of the army did not contemplate this. But there was nothing in the regulations to say it should not exist. When the Fort Sheridan Association idea was suggested to the leaders in the Regular Army, they were immediately its strong backers. They appre- ciated the thought of linking together the friendship of leaders for the mutual protection and encouragement of the family; of caring for both the fighting edge of a man and for the relations which he can never leave behind him, go w^here he may. Major TR.Gowenlock 20 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION The Fort Sheridan Association was the outgrowth of this fraternal spirit as well as the practical disposition to develop every factor possible which could help men through the period of their actual services. With no precedent to guide them except the peculiar problems which emerged as their training period closed or loomed up in the more trying days ahead, the men of the two camps agreed to form a great fighting fraternity which would serve as a means of combining their strength for more efficient service. Colonel James A. Ryan, Commanding Officer of the Second Reserve Officers" Training Camp, after consulting with representative leaders of the First Camp, selected officers who had been trained in the First Camp to represent every company, every officer being a graduate of the company which he represented. In addition, he instructed each company of the Second Camp to elect a delegate, to meet jointly in an executive session to complete arrange- ments for a permanent association. These delegates met on November 2, 1917, and organized the Fort Sheridan Association. Several subsequent meetings were held by the com- mittee, which resulted in the preparation of a constitution and by-laws and the adoption of the following plan of operation.

On November 1 4th a meeting of all candidates was held, the constitution was adopted, and the following officers were elected: Col. James A. Ryan, President and Director. Maj. Philip Fox, First Vice-President — Representing Illinois men. Capt. J. Brooks Nichols, Second Vice-President — Representing Michigan and Wisconsin men. Maj. J. W. E. Taylor, Third Vice-President RepresenLing Colorado and Missouri men. Maj. William I. Shuman, Secretary and Director. Lt. John A. Broeksmit, Treasurer. Capt. Myron E. Adams, Chairman, Board of Directors. Maj. Henry B. Gale, Director. Lt. James C. Hutchins, Jr., Director. Maj. A. A. Sprague, II, Director. Capt. John A. Stevenson, Director. The follow^ing day the men were called together by Regiments and were addressed by Colonel Ryan on the purposes of the organization. They were given an opportunity to join and to pay their annual membership fee, and practically every man at the camp joined at this time. The closing days of camp w^ere busy days. Many practical problems pressed upon the men. One of the largest w^as the high cost of equipment. TTie newly-commissioned officer had to purchase all of his equipment. Noth- ing could be had from the quartermasters. Each man had to go into the open market and purchase what he needed within a week after graduation. Some 1,600 men were commissioned and ordered to foreign service; about 1,500 were assigned to divisions then in training at home. The aver- age cost of complete equipment for foreign service was $500, so that the total purchases of these men would amount to a million and a half dollars. The Fort Sheridan Association, as its first work, arranged to substitute collective buying for the individual purchasing. Myron E. Adams, Director of Morale, was instructed by Col. James A. Ryan to make such an arrangement for the men. A representation of every company was called together, a com- plete list of all purchases necessary was made. Men were selected who were familiar with making such purchases on a big scale. Harry Kimbark, of the Sixteenth Company, was made Chairman of this Committee and they rushed into Chicago to tackle the job. It was the first big skirmish of the Fort Sheridan men and they came back with the report that they had made arrange- ments with various Chicago stores whereby a deduction of practically I 5 per cent would be made on all purchases. In cases where purchases had been made, that part would be returned. In the first three days of its operation, the Association, by mutual co-operation, had saved its members approxi- mately $200,000. That was a good start, and sent many men away to their work with more heart for the task. ITS HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS 23 Another situation arose when orders were opened and it was discovered that more than one-half of the men commissioned would have to go to France within a month. Contrary to common reports, there were comparatively few men of large means in the Training Camps. The great majority, particularly among older men, w^ere men w^ho had made large financial sacrifices at great hazards both to themselves and families, and frequently these same men who were classified as the most capable leaders w^ere absolutely dependent upon their salaries and the strictest economy to keep their families from disaster. When these men and others who were without families, but who had no large reserve, read these orders, they did not see how they could comply with the regulations to report at the Port of Embarkation fully equipped. Some came to the Commandant s office to present their resignations. The situation w^as serious. These men must be provided w^ith money w^ithout the usual security and without any delay. The responsibility of meeting this situation fell immediately upon the Association Board of Directors. The policy adopted at that time lies at the foundation of all subsequent success the organization may have had. It was proposed to loan $250 to applicants who w^ere ordered to foreign service and $75 to those ordered to home service — repayments to be made at the running rate of interest on the basis of $1 5 for Second Lieutenant, $20 for First Lieu- tenant, and $25 for Captain, per month, until paid. It was further agreed that the question of a man's financial condition or his personal standing should not be brought up, but that in every case possible where a man honorably stated that he needed the money for equipment, or for making emergency arrangements previous to such service, that the Board would grant him the amount. In preparation for this loan, Maj. Albert A. Sprague, II, Capt. John A. Stevenson, Lt. James Hutchins, Jr., and Maj. J. W. E. Taylor interviewed Chicago banks and arranged w^ith the Merchants Loan & Trust Company, Harris Trust & Savings Bank, First National Bank, Illinois Trust & Savings Bank and the Continental & Commercial National Bank for the necessary loans of $1 75,000. At the same time they arranged with Mr. J. J. Mitchell, president of the Illinois Trust & Savings Bank, and others, for the organization of a Citizens' Committee. Upon their return to Fort Sheridan on the closing day of the camp, information was sent to the companies that these loans w^ould be made. More than one thousand men were in the line that asked for these loans, and the Board of Directors worked practically all night, so that the men could get their checks and take the trains to their homes for the brief period before they reported for duty. On the last morning of the camp, the Association advanced to its mem- bers over $125,000 and helped many a man to go home with head up and heart stronger and purposes higher because he had been able to depend upon 24 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION the confidence and good will of the men who were to lead the New^ Army with him. After the departure of the Second Camp, the office of the Association w^as moved to the Conw^ay Building, Chicago, w^here applications for loans in person and by letter increased rapidly, all of our forces w^orking on corre- spondence and upon investigation of loans. During the week when our Direc- tors had their ten-day leave, it was necessary to incorporate our organization and reorganize its administrative force. This was done to the entire satisfac- tion of the officers who had previously served and the splendid spirit in which the new civilian officers accepted the responsibility has been greatly appre- ciated by all. The following men were elected to serve during the period of the war: Alfred Cowles, President and Director. William V. Kelley, Secretary and Director. Harry E. Weese, Asst. Treasurer. J. Harry Selz, Director. John W. Scott, Director. Wallace Winter, Director. George A. McKinlock, Director. William C. Boyden, Director. John J. Mitchell, Chairman Citizens' Committee. James C. Hutchins, Sr., Legal Adviser. William B. Mcllvaine, Legal Adviser. The Board of Directors then elected Capt. Myron E. Adams, who had been commissioned on the staff of the Adjutant General of Illinois, at the request of General Ryan, as Executive Manager in charge of the administra- tive work of the Association. The Fort Sheridan Association was fortunate in securing the support and active help of these understanding business men. They gave largely of their time and experience and helped to establish the standing of the organization immediately in Chicago and throughout the country. Alfred Cowles, who was the president of the organization from Decem- ber 13, 1917, to July 16, 1919, gave the Association an immense amount of personal attention and daily service during the greater part of this period. His personal interest in the men, his determination that the work should be main- tained on an efficient business basis, his willingness to take the initiative when any new emergency arose, were factors which early placed the Association in a position where it could operate with a maximum of service and a minimum of strain. The officers on leave had only a few days in their home towns. In some cases they were able to secure voluntary support for the Fort Sheridan Asso- ciation from home sources, but in the majority of cases they were instructed to leave this to civilian representatives of the Fort Sheridan Association who would assume the responsibility after their departure. The Board of Directors, co-operating under Mr. J. J. Mitchell, Chairman of the Citizens' Committee, with the assistance of Mr. Charles W. Folds, con- ducted a financial campaign lasting only one week in the City of Chicago MR. ALFRED COWLES Civilian President The Fort Sheridan Association 26 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION and raised approximately $125,000, which, with small amounts from other sources, has constituted the Fort Sheridan Association fund which has been used for loans, for assistance to families and for general w^ork of readjustment after the war, but not a cent of this fund has ever been spent for current expenses. From the beginning of the organization, every effort w^as made by cor- respondence and visitation to include in the membership of the Fort Sheridan Association all the men from the First Camp as w^ell as from the Second. Pamphlets containing information with reference to the Association were put in the hands of all officers at Camp Custer and Camp Grant and the Executive Manager subsequently visited these camps in order to enlist their membership. In this connection, it is interesting to state that the organization has never limited its usefulness or its help extended to members of the Association, but has, in all cases, endeavored to serve the men of the First Camp and their families regardless of whether they were members of the Association or not, and this has been true of hundreds of men outside the Fort Sheridan camps. It has alw^ays been the policy of the organization to extend its helpful services wherever they would accomplish the most good and not to be limited by any narrow idea of service, or any thought of its personal advantage. During the months of February and March, 1918, the Executive Manager visited the following camps: Camp Funston, at Fort Riley, where w^e had about 40 men — mostly captains, in some very responsible positions, who afterwards went overseas with the Eighty-ninth Division; Camp Dodge, at Des Moines, where we had 130 men, all of whom went to France; Camp Zachary Taylor, at Louisville, where we had about 300 men; Camp Forest, at Chickamauga Park, near Chattanoga, Tenn., where we had 125 men; Camp Gordon, Atlanta, where we had 10 men; Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, South Carolina, the camp of the New York National Guard, where we had about 100 first lieutenants in new regular army units; Camp Greene, Charlotte, North Carolina, where w^e had two Chiefs of Staff and more than 1 00 officers, all of whom went across with the Third and Fifth Divisions; Camp Lee, Petersburg, Virginia, where we had 200 officers, and Camp Meade, Annapolis, Maryland, where we had 1 officers. The great majority of our men were at Camp Grant and Camp Custer. The entire officer organization, apart from a score of Regular Army officers at both camps, came from the First Fort Sheridan Camp. Camp Custer (the Eighty-fifth Division) was organized by the Michigan-Wisconsin Regiment of the First Camp, and Camp Grant (the Eighty-sixth Division) was organized by the Illinois Regiment of the First Camp. in most cases the officers were taken over intact by companies from these camps to train the new regiments, thus prolonging the friendship and acquaintances formed at Fort Sheridan throughout the period of the war. In each of these camps representatives of the Fort Sheridan Association w^ere familiar w^ith the work the organiza- tion could do and acted as an agent of the Association there. ITS HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS 27 How we helped in emergencies in these camps is illustrated by assistance rendered to the Eighty-sixth Division at the time they were preparing to leave Camp Grant for the Port of Embarkation. Several regiments of the Division did not have its complement of sec- ond lieutenants, so a hundred second lieutenants who were to graduate from the Fourth Officers' Training Camp the day before the Division departed were ordered to secure equipment and to leave the following day. The Brigade Commanders exhausted every agency at Camp Grant, but could find no means of assistance. They telegraphed to Chicago on Friday. On the same day the officers of the Association arrived at Camp Grant and advanced $25,000 to the men who were commissioned that day and were allowed Saturday only to secure their entire equipment before they entrained on Sunday morning. Brig. -Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews wrote to the Association, as a result of this service, as follow^s: "1 feel that 1 must attempt to express officially our deep obligation to your Association for the splendid thing you did for our young graduate officers in coming here and financing them in getting their military outfits. Frankly, I do not see what would have happened without your assist- ance. Three cases have come to my personal notice in which these young men had felt constrained to give up the commissions they had so hardily w^on because of financial inability to equip themselves to go overseas on such short notice. "Not only have they been helped out of this serious difficulty, but your Association has done this in such a w^ay as to preserve their self- esteem and to add to their appreciation of the essential value of a bit of mutual consideration and co-operation in this vale of tears. "So I say your work is splendid, and I hope you may always realize, as I do now, that nothing you could do in Europe would compare in value to our service with what you are doing here in making possible a high morale in our young officers over there." During the same period the Association was busy organizing local civilian backing for the men who had left their families to go into the service. The plan was to have on officer organization or a representation in each of the States from which our men had been selected, to work in co-operation with the central office in Chicago. Well-organized offices were in operation in Wisconsin and Michigan and representatives co-operated in the other States. The following constituted the organization: Detroit, Michigan — Murray Paterson, Secretary for Michigan. Miss J. Irene Finn, Detroit, Office Secretary. Miss J. C. Kershaw, Home Visitor. Mrs. F. C. Kidner, Representative on Red Cross Board. Milwaukee, Wisconsin — Fred Vogel, Jr., Chairman, Board of Directors, Milwaukee. Mrs. Robert E. Lee, Secretary for Wisconsin. Mrs. George Lines, Representative on Red Cross Board, Milwaukee. 2S THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION St, Louis, Missouri — Mrs. Virginia M. Harriss, Secretary, Missouri Officers' Association, St. Louis. Capt. Luther Ely Smith, Assisting. Lawrence, Kansas — Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf, Representative for Kansas, Lawrence, Kans. Denver, Colorado — J. Poulterer Morris, Representative of Association, Denver. Central Office — Chicago^ Fred M. Carton, Office Manager, Chicago. Chris Churan, Chief Clerk, Deceased. Lt. Chas. A. Rogers, Employment Secretary. M!ss Ruth Reiss, Finance Secretary. Mrs. Chester M. MacChesney, Director Home Department. Miss Margaret Port, Office Secretary. Miss Mildred Mather. Office Secretary. Mrs. Eunice M. Sullivan, Bookkeeper. John Silverstein, Office Boy. To each of these, as well as to others co-operating with them, the Asso- ciation is deeply indebted. In March, 1918, the Home Service Department was organized. Mrs. Chester M. MacChesney was made director. Her policy has always been to consider every member of the family of our men as a personal friend. We have not waited to be called upon, whenever there was a report of any mis- fortune; we have immediately acted. A personal visit has been made a letter has been sent to our local auxiliary or to our nearest State representative. The volume of correspondence, the number of visits, and the amount of time and energy given would surprise many of our friends not familiar with this w^ork. In addition to this personal service, a very large amount of money has been advanced in the form of gifts and loans. A joint agreement was made with the National Officers of the Red Cross whereby there should be the closest co-operation between their local organizations and the Association. Representatives of the Association were to be selected in each community and placed on the Home Service Committee. Through this arrangement the usefulness of the Association was extended into hundreds of communities and the most harmonious and helpful service secured. Such service is extremely confidential and one of the reasons why the Association has had such rare opportunities for genuine helpfulness has come from the fact that people have understood this. They have written and have come to the office relying upon the spirit of friendship to understand their situation and they have been made to feel that there is nothing we could do that would begin to equal the treatment they had merited from their country for the services they had rendered and the sacrifices many of them had made. In this connection, it is almost needless to say that the biggest and best work done during this period can neither be described nor tabulated. Our 30 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION personal correspondence with people throughout this country and France gave us large opportunities for varied service, including legal, medical, military and business advice, as well as constantly giving encouragement to men at the front and women at home. The spirit of our office, both in Chicago and elsewhere, has always been to deal very directly and considerately with every opportunity that has come to us. We have tried to keep the personal relationship, believing that men and women who have been in trouble because of the emergency of the Great War deserve the greatest amount of personal consideration and that it is the aggregate of such personal service that actually makes up the test of the Association's value. In connection with our Home Service Department we organized a Women's Auxiliary in the City of Chicago first and afterwards extended branches throughout our whole district. The plan was to have occasional meetings of the mothers and wives of the men, at which time prominent speakers would appear. The women would have an opportunity to make acquaintance with each other, to secure information about their husbands and sons in the service, and to get better acquainted with the officers of the Association. No more inspiring sight was witnessed at home than the meet- ings held by the Women's Auxiliary of the Fort Sheridan Association. As many as a thousand were together at one time, and every speaker and visitor was struck by the appearance of courage, kindliness and hopefulness sho^vn, and the mothers, wives and sisters of our men took a great deal of pride in the fact that they belonged to this membership. it will be one of the big, helpful memories of the war that they had so much in common and made so many real friends on occasions like this. Mrs. MacChesney and the Executive Manager both traveled throughout the State, as well as into Michigan, Wis- consin, Missouri, Colorado and Kansas on this work, and saw a large propor- tion of these auxiliaries in action. It was discovered early in 1918 that a great injustice was being done officers with families who were in the field service. A ruling of the War Department provided that the allowances technically known as commutation of quarters, heat and light would be withheld wherever the Government fur- nishes tents or similar accommodations. The effect of this ruling was to put a premium on service at a station such as Washington, at the expense of the men serving in the field. The Association, early in March, began a campaign of enlightenment through the entire national press. Senator Chamberlain introduced a bill providing "that during the present emergency every commissioned officer of the Army of the United States, on duty in the field, or on active duty without the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, who maintains a place of abode for a wife, child or dependent parent, shall be furnished at the place where he maintains such place of abode, without regard to per- sonal quarters furnished him elsew^here, the number of rooms prescribed by the Act of March 2, 1907. to be occupied by, and only so long as occupied by, said wife, chiJd or dependent parent; and in case such ITS HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS 31 quarters are not available, every such commissioneci officer shall be paid commutation thereof and communtation of heat and light, at the rate authorized by law in cases vs^here public quarters are not available; but nothing in the Act shall be so construed as to reduce the allowances now authorized by law for any person in the Army. ' We sent a special letter to all of the leading newspapers throughout the country, giving them the actual facts, the financial status of the officers with families, their responsibility, as well as an appeal for fair treatment. This letter was sent to more than 500 newspapers and immediately began to bring replies throughout every section. The following extract from the "Buffalo Express" is a fair sample of the type of response received: "This being an officer in the United States Army is not all cakes and ale. Quite aside from the responsibilities which fall upon those in command, there are burdens which many of the young men who have gone into the service through the training camps are finding pretty heavy. They have discovered that it costs a good deal to be an officer, and a good many of the young men w^ho are now lieutenants and cap- tains in the National Army went into the game without much thought as to w^hat this might mean. Many of them are married and therefore have dependents and doubtless most of them have no appreciable re- sources outside of their pay. "A second lieutenant in the Army receives $141 a month, first lieutenant $166 and captain $200, v/ith 10 per cent increase for foreign service. An officer, unlike a private, must maintain and equip himself. It has been figured that altogether these young officers are put to an expense of $450 for complete equipment for foreign service; or, figuring equipment and replacement, about $50 a month for the first year. Mess costs are considerable and in many of the camps officers have been com- pelled to provide their own quarters. They should take the Government insurance and they are supposed to buy a few Liberty Bonds. And about that time they begin to wonder where they are at, especially if married. "These are among the reasons urged in support of legislation now before Congress looking for mitigation of existing conditions. Some commutation for family quarters and a partial equipment for foreign service are asked. That surely is not an unreasonable demand. Espe- cially is it a just demand that the Government should furnish officers the service equipment required by regulations. "An agitation which is being organized in support of measures to this end is deserving of universal and hearty support. The necessary law^s should be enacted by Congress at once and made retroactive to the beginning of the w^ar." Shortly afterwards, special hearing was given the bill in the Senate and, partly as a result of the publicity w^e were able to obtain for it, but largely because of its obvious justice, it was sent to the House. We then sent a letter to every State Council of Defense in the country, as well as to the newspapers that had been helpful, and on Wednesday, April 1 0th, the bill was brought before the House for final hearing cind, in spite of some opposition, it was passed by a fair majority. In view of the later unwillingness of Congress to provide any relief on the matter of cost of equipment, passage of this bill 32 THE FORT SHERIDAxN ASSOCIATION' meant a great deal to the families of the men throughout the country who were leading the Army. From the beginning of the organization, the granting of loans and the securing of repayments constituted one of our largest activities. In the first tw^o days over $125,000 w^as loaned the men. The Association secured an allotment of pay, but discovered later that there w^as a regulation of the Quartermaster s Department which made it impossible to secure returns in that w^ay. Every man w^ho had made a loan w^as notified of this fact and many repaid their loans monthly by check direct. In March the Executive Manager, on a visit to Washington, conferred with the Director of Finance in the Depot Quartermaster's Department, and a change in the regulation was made, providing that officers were to be allowed to make allotments to others besides their families. After this, the allotments came in monthly, as arranged at the close of camp, and the matter of collec- tions from that time on was very much simplified, although a great deal of confusion resulted because the allotments were not paid for the first few months after the men left camp. Up to date, we have loaned and given to men in service and to their families $350,000. This has helped in a great many ways and has been deeply appreciated by the men. Their repayments were conscientious and showed the fine spirit in which they accepted the help offered. AFTER THE ARMISTICE At the time of the armistice in November, 1918, we were pressing the organization of smaller local organizations and extending the work of the Association on the broadest basis. The armistice came as a great relief to the home folks and with it a great pride in the knowledge that the participa- tion of our country in the war had helped to produce the final victory. Immediately the Association changed its plans to meet the requirements of men returning to civil life. Those who had been absent from their usual occupations for two or three years found conditions changed upon their return. The readjustment back to a self-supporting position in civil life was even more difficult than the entrance into the Army. The Board of Directors, in January, 1919, voted that all the activities of the Association should be directed toward replacing the returning men in suitable positions and in assisting the men and their families to get a fair start in civil life — that all other plans and purposes should be set aside in order that this work might be well done. In keeping with this policy, the Executive Manager organized, first, a group of employment advisers, representing every prominent profession, trade and industry in Chicago. He then attempted, although without great success, to organize similar committees throughout the six States of this dis- trict. In December, as chairman of the Organizing Committee of the newly 34 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION formed Bureau of Soldiers and Sailors, he outlined the plan of organization which was subsequently adopted — namely, a centralized office, sufficiently large to take care of the problem of re-employing all men from the service; of employing service men to do this w^ork on a business-like basis; also pre- senting the plan which eventually was adopted, by which the co-operating organizations should agree to support this Bureau of Soldiers and Sailors out of their own funds as a part of their readjustment work rather than to trust to Government support, which eventually would have failed, or to private initiative, which would never have been adequate. From December to March the Employment Bureau was maintained in connection with the United States Employment service at Dearborn and Washington streets. But in March, through the efforts of Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood, who had just become commander of the Central Department, the Bureau of Soldiers, Sailors and Marines was much strengthened. Larger financial support was secured from co-operating agencies and the work was removed to 120 West Adams street. For a year this Bureau was the center of work for the returning soldiers, sailors and marines. More than 100,000 returning men registered there for some kind of service, and more than 40,000 positions were secured for men in civil life. The Fort Sheridan Association removed to the Bureau as soon as it opened and worked with it until it closed. Lieut. C. A. Rogers, Jr., was employed to take charge of the employment of returning officers and of specialized professions or businesses where special efforts were necessary. This position gave unusual opportunities for service. Thousands of men and women were helped directly in our office, while by correspondence with mem- bers and others at a distance we tried to assist returning men in every avail- able way. From January 1st to March 1, 1920, the Association, at the request of General Wood, and with the approval of the Citizens' Committee which se- cured the special funds, agreed to assume all running expenses of the Bureau of Soldiers, Sailors and Marines until it closed its year's work. This completed a record of practical and persistent service which compares favorably in Chicago with the largest national agencies. Members outside of Illinois can testify that the organization has also endeavored to reach out as far as possible. During the past year $50,000 has been advanced to men and their families in all sections of the country and, as far as we have been able, w^e have co-operated w^ith local agencies to accomplish everything possible. On July 17, 1919, the Civilian Board, having served faithfully during the period of the war, resigned in order that the machinery of the Association might be returned to the men who originally organized it. As a recognition of the broad lines adopted and the generous purposes for the future the Board of Directors elected in their places for the remainder of the term of three years, the following officers: General James A. Ryan, ITS HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS 35 president; Maj. Albert A. Sprague, 11, chairman Board of Directors; Maj. Philip Fox, first vice president; Maj. J. W. E. Taylor, second vice-president; Col. Abel Davis, third vice-president; Maj. John S. Miller, Jr., secretary; Lt. John S. Broeksmit, treasurer; Harry E. Weese, assistant treasurer. Direc- tors: Col. Abel Davis, Capt. Marshall Field, III, Maj. Thomas R. Gowenlock, Maj. John S. Miller, Jr., Gen. James A. Ryan, Maj. Albert A. Sprague, II, Capt. John A. Stevenson. The Association has consistently backed every effort to secure for return- ing ex-service men every help the Government could give them, and has championed their cause on every occasion. Complaints have been investi- gated. Information that wounded men were to be discharged from army hospitals before they were fit for civil life brought speedy action at Wash- ington from the Chairman of our Board of Directors, Maj. A. A. Sprague, and resulted in the order being revoked. Special cases outside the membership have been taken care of in homes and hospitals. In addition, the Association has given $10,000 to the American Legion to install a service department, believing that through such an organization large results would be secured. Throughout its whole career the Association has sought to do the greatest possible good to the largest number, without seeking credit or considering its ow^n personal advantages. After the return of the men, several reunions have been held. Men came from long distances to be present. A larger reunion was held in Chi- cago, to which all of the members were invited. More than seven hundred attended. Every company in the First and Second Camps was represented. There w^as a spirit of a good fellowship w^hich carried every man back to Fort Sheridan in 1917. Such reunions will be planned in the future in other cities and at Fort Sheridan. Records of men killed or wounded have been carefully kept. Full information is on file in our office and is always available to members. The memorial section of this volume contains a brief resume of each. No attempt has been made to go into detail. The fuller records carry a w^ealth of honorable service which will always be an inspiration to the mem- bers of the Association. Two hundred and seventy of our members w^ere killed in the service. Many of them left dependent families, to which we are obligated by every law of life. Sometimes they have needed the simple testimony of our con- tinued interest and appreciation to help them over the lonely hours and the heavier responsibility. At Christmas time in December, 1919, the Association sent to the seventy children, whose fathers were our fellow officers and friends, a beau- tiful solid silver table ring with this inscription: "To From his Father's Brother Officers who served with him at Fort Sheridan in 191 7." 36 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION One of the replies will testify to how much even such a little token was appreciated : "Words so feebly express my feelings towards the men of the Asso- ciation that it is almost useless to try to put them on paper. The silver napkin rings w^hich you sent to my babies w^ere of themselves beautiful, but the sentiment w^hich prompted the gift is to me of priceless value — to be treasured in my heart to life s end and left as a w^onderful heritage for my children. ¥ v v J would like to personally thank every man of the Association, to clasp his hand and say, God bless and prosper you.' 1 do bless each one from the depth of my heart and some day, when my babies are able to understand, they will too. Will you, personally, please accept my thanks and prayers for all good things for you and whenever possible pass them on to the men of the Association." We w^ant to close this story of the Fort Sheridan Association w^ith the statement that all that is w^ritten here seems insignificant and paltry as com- pared w^ith the living and deathless accomplishment of the thousands of men who, silently and unheralded, gave their best to their country. Men w^ho even now are held by their wounds in distant hospitals — men who are handicapped in their future struggle for existence — w^ives and little children, mothers and fathers who paid the immeasurable price. We cannot do it justice, but there came to our office from a home where two sons (Lieuts. Bernard and Leon D. Van't Hof) never returned, these words with w^hich we close, believing that the truly great record w^as w^ritten in such lives as these: We had two sons; No braver lads than they. Those of their friends who knew^ them best can testify. In manhness their equal hard to find. In tenderness and love none might compare. Their kiss at greeting like unto the kiss of a sweet girl. Their parting kiss a benediction rare. Love and devotion marked their every step. And love grew^ on apace beneath our roof. Through darkening days of trouble and despair. Their true worth shone with a devotion rare. And wheresoever censure reared her head Their faithfulness remained without compare. Came country's call. Arise! ye men. Arise! Give me your manhood's strength. Go forth to battle for the cause The cause of mankind's weal Democracy triumphant. They heard. They faltered not. They went. They spake in solemn tone and low. The call has come and we must go. Our country calls, and we, Shall we be slow to answer? No. Does not God choose his instruments to carry out His plans And place within their hearts desire to serve? We go. We shall return if God so wills. But if it be His will that we should fall We pray for grace that ^ve may give Him all. And so they went. Our hearts beat high as word came of their deeds. ITS HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS 37 Our tears flowed as we heard of w^ounds received. And when news came of decorations granted For valiant deeds performed, Supplanted v^ere our tears and fears by pride and joy And grateful song we raised That God had given us tw# sons, two men, Who in the hour of trial failed not, nor faltered. But with head erect, and flashing eye and lion heart Met foe and vanquished him. Then came the sad, sad news, "Regret to state your son, leading His men to victory, was brought in bleeding from fatal wounds And has 'gone west,' Smiling, glad to have done his best." Ah, God, now give us grace to say. Thy will be done. Thou gave and Thou hast taken. Be brave dear hearts, yet is thy cup not filled. God in His providence has willed, That you should offer all. And came the other message. Blotting like a pall remaining light, And hope took flight, and We had given all. Ah, God, Thou art a Father And Thou didst give Thy Son that we might live. But Thou are God, And we are only human. And we are sad and lonesome for our lads, We miss their loving kiss. Their hearty greeting. Their cheering smile. And all the while the home-fire bright we're keeping For their dear sakes. Perhaps, who knows, some day they will return, At night when all is silent. When stars are bright, And they will come And they will press our lips With the accustomed, ne'er to be forgotten goodnight kiss. Ah, God,— Grand Rapids, December 31, 1918.

SOME one has said that the great reunion of the Blue and the Gray on the battlefield of Gettysburg in the Summer of 1913 was a most fitting close to the great drama of the Civil War. While the camp may have been built to serve as the stage for the last scene of the great Civil War, it was later used for the opening act of another play, w^hich has already had a far-reaching effect upon our country, as it was really the prologue of our preparation for the great World War. As the camp began to take form, General Wood, who was then Chief of Staff in the Army, was inspired with the thought that, although it was being constructed for what would probably be the last great reunion of the men who had fought in the Civil War, it could well be used, when they were through with it, for the beginning of the training of men w^ho w^ere to fight in our future wars, and for whom so little had been done up to that time. He felt that in the next war, as in all our previous w^ars, the greater part of the fighting would be done by those who were just finishing or had just finished their preparation for their life's fight in civil life. He felt that just as their parents had made sacrifices to prepare them for their future civil life, their country should prepare them for the future military life which w^as almost bound to be thrust upon them. He therefore decided that the commencement should be made with college men, as they could best spare the time during their summer vacations. He communicated with the various colleges and universities in the country and finally succeeded in interesting enough to justify the holding of the first Students' Training Camp. As there were no Government funds available for the purpose, the young men attending necessarily had to pay their ow^n expenses and, in order to reduce the expenses as much as possible for the young men living in the far western part of the country, it was decided to hold a second camp at Monterey, California. As in all new movements of this kind, it was difficult to get publicity and only some 220 men attended these two camps in 1913, but, with the exception of the small attendance, the camps were in every way a success, and the men who attended them, upon returning to their colleges, spread the news among their fellow students. The heads of nearly all the larger universities and colleges in the country also became interested — notably Doctor Brinker, of Lehigh, who visited the Gettysburg camp several times, and was indefatigable in spreading the news of the good work accomplished there. The men who attended these first two camps organized themselves into "The National Reserve Corps," which was supported by the "College Presidents' Advisory Committee," the member- ship of which included the presidents of all but one or two of the prominent colleges and universities of the country. Among the members of this com- mittee were President Lowell of Harvard, Hadley of Yale, and James of the University of Illinois. THE BIRTH OF THE OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 175 In 1914, camps were held at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont; Ludington, Michigan; Asheville, North Carolina, and Monterey, California, with an at- tendance of over 700. In 1915, camps were held at Plattsburg, New York, and Ludington, Michigan, and the attendance rose to several thousand. All these camps w^ere called Students' Camps, and the age limit for admission was between 19 and 26 years. As the preparations for the 1915 camps progressed, it was noted that men beyond the maximum age limit were applying for permission to attend. This w^as partly due, of course, to the fact that a great w^ar had broken out in Europe. The question was finally taken up with General Wood, who was then in command of the Eastern Department, and he decided if a hundred of these older men indicated their desire to attend a training camp, he would authorize the holding of a camp for their benefit at Plattsburg, after the students had finished their course. At first the men interested in the promo- tion of this camp received little encouragement. Up to about the middle of March, only some forty-six men had indicated a desire to attend. However, w^hen the camp opened in July, the list had grown to some 1,250. On account of the prominent men w^ho were enrolled in this camp, the attention of the whole country w^as called to it, and soon requests began to pour in from other localities throughout the country, asking for assistance in establishing similar camps. Few of the applicants appreciated the length of time necessary to make preparations for such a camp, and some, no doubt, felt that they did not receive the encouragement they were entitled to. The only additional camp that Summer was at Fort Sheridan, Illinois. The second business men's camp w^as held at Plattsburg, from the middle of August to the middle of September, with an attendance of some 750. The men who attended these so-called business men's camps formed an organization, which was combined with the society already organized by the students, under the name of "The Military Training Camps Association," and this new organization immediately started a vigorous campaign for recruits for the training camps, to be held in the Summer of 1916. They also took up with Congress the question of a fuller recognition by the Government of these camps and the payment of expenses of the men attending them. In addition, they urged the establish- ment of an Officers' Reserve Corps. The success of their w^ork is to be found in provisions for these two purposes in the National Defense Act, passed by Congress in the Spring of 1916. They also arranged for Winter correspond- ence courses, for those who desired to do Winter military work at home. Although the enthusiasm of the men taking this correspondence course was remarkable, the Army officers preparing the course felt that it was not all what it should have been, their excuse being that none of them could be detailed on that exclusive duty, and that they had to prepare the lessons and criticise the papers in moments stolen from their other duties. In 1916 camps were held at Plattsburg, Fort Sheridan, and at the Pre- sidio of San Francisco, the students being organized into separate units from the older men. Four of these camps were held at Plattsburg. the largest one 176 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION being in July, with an attendance of about 7,000. Although over 23,000 men enrolled, only some 1 7,000 actually attended, the shortage being due to the call of troops of the Regular Army and the National Guard to the Border, and the threatened railroad strike. Because of the latter, many busi- ness men were afraid to get far away from their business. Another handicap due to the call of troops to the Border was the resulting shortage of regular officers who were available to act as instructors. The new membership to the training camps association, resulting from the 1916 camps, gave an in- creased impetus to the recruiting and other activities of the association, and when we entered the war in 1917 the stage was set for a very much larger attendance in the 1917 camps than had been had in all the previous camps put together. As soon as it was ascertained that we were to enter the war, the members of the training camps association began to plan how they, as an organization, could best help the country, and it w^as due to their efforts that the first series of Officers' Training Camps w^ere inaugurated at such an early date, and with such a large attendance.

RYAN - Commanding 10th Provisional Regt. MAJOR JAMES PARKER - Commanding 11th Provisional Regt. THE United States of America need fear no war. If the sacred soil of that Nation is threatened with invasion, or her glorious name and honor defamed, a million men will spring to arms overnight to overthrow the most powerful and designing of invaders. Why be afraid? Have the armies of America ever been defeated by a foreign foe? Shortly after the Civil War the germ of such reasoning took root and, as the country prospered, the more deeply did it become imbedded. Nor did the Spanish-American War halt this train of thought. It seemed to convince a multitude that the United States could subdue a great European aggressor w^ith a negligible amount of sacrifice and expense. Then came August 14, 1914. The law^s of humanity violated, the honor of treaties destroyed, and Europe plunged in blood. America stood aghast. The months dragged on. The war progressed. Its scope increased. Country after country became involved. The fact that, by the end of the year 1916, the United States had not entered the conflict w^as in itself lament- able in the estimation of honor-loving Americans, although not so inexcusably tragic as the refusal as a nation to take steps on a large scale for preparation in order to be ready when the fatal day arrived. The War Department chafed under the situation. They knew only too w^ell the difficulties ahead if war should come. They had extensive plans, but lacked the authority to carry them out. True, thanks to the untiring efforts of General Leonard Wood, training camps for college students were inaugu- rated during the summer of 1913. These camps were so successful that similar instruction w^as given each succeeding summer through the year 1916, not only for college men, but for business men as w^ell. These camps w^ere responsible for the enthusiasm of the men who established military instruc- tion in various universities, such as the formation of a Battalion of Field Artillery at Yale, and an Infantry Regiment at Harvard. Desire for prepared- ness alike spurred on the National Guard, an especial example of which was the development of the First Illinois Field Artillery and the First Cavalry of New York. In 1916 came the Mexican trouble w^hich sidetracked temporarily interest in the European struggle but proved to be of benefit in exposing our deplor- able state of unpreparedness and in affording field training to the Regular Army, National Guard and some college organizations belonging to the National Guard. The Mexican crisis passed in the Fall of 1916. Europe again became the point of interest. Germany, realizing our unpreparedness and imagining that we would never awake, became bolder, extending her submarine warfare and paying scant attention to numerous presidential notes. The sinking of the "Lusitania" on May 7, 1915, was the turning point. How^ could the United States avoid war with honor after that? The answer to the tragedy THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP ISl was another "note", but righteous indignation throughout the country from this time on began to rapidly crystallize. On February 3, 1917, diplomatic relations with Germany were severed. And, on April the 6th, 1917 — April — the month of the Battle of Lexington w^hich precipitated the Revolution, the month of Sumpter which pitted North against South, — the United States declared war against Germany. Did we mobilize a million men overnight and rush them across the water the following day to stop the gruesome carnage? Thanks to the British Navy, the foe, then at the height of his pow^er on land, w^as prevented from invading our shore at a time w^hen w^e should have been almost powerless to resist. The United States — a Samson shorn of his locks — had contracted for a battle with a powerful giant, fit, and shall we say victorious? What was to be done? A tremendous army was needed. The assembling of a large number of men was not in itself the most difficult task; but once assembled, where was the material with which they were to train and where would be the officers to train them? The German nation appreciated this problem more than we our- selves. General Hindenburg stated when we entered the war that it was impossible for America to organize an army because of the lack of officers capable of operating in a battle area. Germany at the time treated our entry into the conflict as trivial, because she hoped to victoriously terminate the war before we could produce an effective military machine. But the lack of preparation in this country w^as due to ignorance — not to lack of patriotism. Once in the war the Nation was in it heart and soul. We had failed to prepare for the test, but it was still not too late. Teuton logic w^as scheduled for one of its premier jolts. While Congress w^as striving to thrash out the vexing question of how to raise an army, the War Department was authorized to launch at once its plan for laying the foundation for that army. Little did it matter at that time to the army officials as to whether recruits w^ere to be secured by voluntary enlist- ment or draft. They knew that one million men were needed at the earliest possible moment and that before those men were called, there must be officers to train and lead them. The United States, for military purposes, was divided into sixteen sec- tions, each section containing approximately the same population, although obviously not an equal number of square miles. From each of these sections, the War Department was to pick 2,500 men — those apparently most prom- ising in mind and body of all applicants w^ho volunteered — to take a course of training designed to prepare them to become officers. For these sixteen sections there were to be established, in appropriate sections of the country, fourteen training camps. Men from the first and second sections were to train at the same camp — Plattsburg. Men from the tenth and eleventh sections were also to train at a single camp — Fort Sheridan. This accounts for there being two less camps than sections. The declaration of war with Germany did not bring a simultaneous an- nouncement of this plan, although the War Department must have been con- THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 183 sidering it for many months, probably since the success of the first student training camps in 1913. Consequently, although thousands made up their minds to volunteer as soon as they had read the news on April 6th, a great majority hesitated to act at once, wishing to place what military experience they had, or their advanced or technical training, in that service which w^ould be of greatest advantage to the country. Rumor (that word to be heard so much of later) had it that the War Department w^as very likely to adopt some such plan, and this resulted in hundreds of men scurrying about in a strenuous effort to verify the rumor. Men closed their desks and boarded trains for college towns, hoping that the army officers at their university might have some special information unobtainable at home. Members of National Guard organizations kept in constant touch with headquarters. Former training camp men phoned and wrote. Seniors laid down their books. The plan was at last announced early in April, 1 9 ! 7. Application blanks were to be obtained at any recruiting station or army office. What the pe- cuniary compensation w^as to be was not then known. To most of the men that did not matter. They knew^ there w^ould be some compensation, but most of all they wanted to serve. Former training camps men and men from university organizations eagerly requested blanks. National Guardsmen applied for discharge in order that they might enter the camps. Undergraduates of universities — mostly seniors — sought admission. Hundreds of other university trained men and business men of no previous military experience requested the privilege of enlisting in the camps. It was like the first call for volunteers, yet Congress w^as still trying to decide what method to employ in raising the army of the United States. The following centers were selected for the establishment of the camps: Ft. Ogelthorpe, Ga. ; Plattsburg, N. Y. ; Des Moines, Iowa; Leon Springs, Tex.; Presidio, San Francisco, Calif. ; Ft. Snelling, Minn. ; Ft. Sheridan, 111. ; Camp Lee, Va. ; Ft. Benj. Harrison, Indianapolis, Ind. ; Ft. Riley, Kans. ; Ft. Sill, Okla. ; Ft. Monroe, Va., and Camp Johnson, Fla. Many of these stations — regular army posts — already were equipped w^ith barracks suitable for the housing of the expected men. Others, however, had few^ if any barracks of a permanent sort. Illinois generously proffered the brick buildings at Fort Sheridan to the 2,500 who were coming from Wisconsin and Michigan. To the men of Illinois were assigned the fields south of these barracks — across the ravine. But the fields of May the first were not the fields of May tenth in Sheridan or any of the other permanently barrackless camps. Hammers rattled, saws hummed, wagons rumbled, men toiled. The evening' of the tenth witnessed a village of sixty buildings on the west of the road, across the ravine and twenty-four more on the eastern side. Carpenters swept up the last of the shavings and sawdust within the glistening barracks while mammoth trench diggers gnawed noisily and deeply great ditches without. On May the first, applications for entrance closed. The next week was spent by the responsible officers in carefully selecting those who in their esti- 184 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION mation were the most deserving of the hundreds of appHcants. These many hundreds, during the same period, filled with uncertainty, anxiously aw^aited the fateful new^s. Candidates had been rated A, B, or C, according to age and the amount of previous military experience and education they had had. This system had its human weaknesses, but it seemed to bear considerable weight in the selection of the prospects. On May 1 0th, the first momentous postal cards were received by some few^ hundred "A" men, requesting them to start at once for the Citizens' Camp at Fort Sheridan. They were to bring the cards w^ith them to present to the Camp Adjutant upon arrival. From then on to the 1 5th, several hundred of these cards were mailed daily, thus virtually com- pleting the call of 5,000 men to Fort Sheridan and 40,000 to all the camps of the United States. Those early days of arrival before w^ork really commenced on the I 5th were filled with many scenes of interest and action. Each train w^hich stopped in front of that famous stone station w^ith its antiquated brass cannon and caged cannon balls (one missing) poured forth from every step a stream of youth whose cheery faces and eager spirit augured the unfailing success of the future. Of course all w^ere not cheery. Some faces were distinctly set w^ith de- termination. But there were none downcast. From the station the new^comers streamed across the electric tracks, across the road and along the cinder path which cuts diagonally over a field RAPID CONSTRUCTION OF BARRACKS THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 185 THE TRENCH DIGGER IN ACTION and leads past the guardhouse to the main brick barracks. Some wore over- coats; some had none. A few were in uniform reUcs of the "Border" or old National Guard days. In the hands or on the shoulders of many there was baggage of every description from tel- escope suit cases to blanket rolls, and even some bundles done up in genuine old shelter halves. The yellow of brand new army shoes occasionally caught the eye. There w^as little levity as this stream crunched over the path. None knew definitely what was ahead, but the majority realized there would be work, and plenty of it. Then, too, all were not positively sure they w^ere "in." There w^ere those wretched physical exams! From cinders they echoed along the hard concrete in front of the tall barracks just past the drive w^hich leads under the tower. Beside the door — the first on the left of the tower — w^as a board sign which read, "Wallace B. Scales, Adjutant." This was the goal of the postal card. The trainload formed in single file outside of this door, and each man searched for his precious "ticket." A man would knock, step in, present his card as genteelly as possible "non modo belli", receive instructions from the adjutant, awk- wardly face about and step out. His next goal was the drill hall. Here there w^ere men sitting at tables — fellows who already had been commissioned in the reserve — who would enter his name in a book and again on a little card. On the card also was written the number of the company to which the man was assigned and the number of the barracks in which he should sleep. It happened that the company a man was assigned to was all a matter of chance. The companies were filled up in order, beginning with the number 1 and run- ning through 1 5 in the Illinois regiment; and beginning with A and ending with P in the Michigan-Wisconsin regiment, the letter J, as usual, being omitted. Upon finding out the number or letter of his company, the candidate next sought out the temporary headquarters of his organization, which headquarters w^ere located somewhere in the permanent barracks. The room located, the candidate would find there usually two men — reserve officers assigned to the company to assist in its administration who would have them register in a book and then would proceed to give instructions as to where to eat, sleep and secure a uniform and other immediately necessary equipment. The first object then sought by the newcomer was his bed. For those who arrived before the 1 2th, these were in the main barracks, for the Illinois as well as the Michigan and Wisconsin men, because the Illinois barracks were not fully complete. Up until the 1 5 th all meals were served in the permanent barracks. 186 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION and those whose bunks were in the huts across the ravine marched three times daily back to receive their rations. Having secured a bed, the candidate's next move was to be fitted for a uniform. There w^as a room in the permanent barracks for this purpose. Two or three supply sergeants w^ere there to measure and equip. Service hats, coats, breeches, canvas leggins, sox and shoes w^ere available if a man could find a size that would fit him, but no hat cords. The training camp hat cords had not yet arrived and did not come in until several weeks later. Many men unable to get a fit in coat or breeches were forced to appear in part civilian attire for more than a week. No part of the uniform was of gratuitous issue. The value of the portions secured was deducted from the monthly compensa- tion. This compensation was later announced to be $100.00 a month. For those that arrived before the 15 th there was little to do after perma- nent barracks had been located, and cots, mattresses and uniform secured. Time was consumed in hiking, policing, buying text books, perhaps taking out a little insurance, and visiting friends. On the 1 5 th of May, training started in earnest under the direction of Colonel William J. Nicholson, Commandant of the Camp. Assisting Colonel Nicholson in instruction were Major H. LaT. Cavenaugh as senior instructor; Lieut.-Colonel James A. Ryan and Major James S. Parker; Lieut. -Colonel Ryan being in direct charge of the Michigan-Wisconsin group; Major Parker being responsibie for the Illinois men. The Michigan-Wisconsin camp was called the Tenth Provisional Training Regiment (abbreviated "10th P. T. R."); and the Illinois section, the " I 1 th P. T. R." ; the numbers being derived from the military section of the country from which candidates were chosen. Each of these regiments w^as made up of fifteen companies; each company, of betw^een 1 60 and 1 70 men. The instructors placed in command of companies were Regular Army officers of the rank of either captain or first lieutenant. Assisting the company instructor •were generally tw^o reserve officers of the rank of captain, first or second lieutenant. There were three chaplains at the camp. Major E. J. Vattman, who was the dean of all Regular Army chaplains and had a record that went back to the Indian campaigns as well as a conspicuous record in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. With him were associated Chaplain Charles W. Gilkey and Chaplain Myron E. Adams, by appointment of the commanding officer. By most companies, the morning of the 1 5th w^as spent in organizing temporarily into squads and platoons, with men acting in the various posi- tions of non-commissioned officers and officers. The men were first arranged according to size, having the tallest man on the right of the line. Then men who had had some previous military experience were temporarily placed to act as non-coms and lieutenants. Some sort of organization having thus been accomplished the balance of the day's w^ork consisted of preliminary drill in the school of the soldier, physical exercise, lectures and hikes. Speedily the men progressed with their infantry drill until by the end of the first week they w^ere marching and going through physical exercises with rifles. THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 187 MAJOR WALLACE B. SCALES Adjutant First R. O. T. C. "Late" civilians, accustomed to saun- tering up to a desk at the luxurious hour of 9 or I A. M., welcomed not the cruel notes of "first call" at the uncomfortable stroke of 5:30 — especially in chill barracks on a frosty May morn. To add to the misery, "reveille" was blown at 5 :40 and "assem- bly" five minutes later. Those first few mornings some could "make it" only by omitting a portion of the apparel — gener- ally those tw^o miserable pieces of canvass. But one such offense w^as enough. Follow^- ing roll call the company would proceed to the nearest available open space and there, either by squads or as a whole, proceed to stimulate circulation and appetite with thirty minutes of vigorous calisthenics. "Soupy" — that call to which the expression "A. W. O. L." is never ap- plied was olown at 6:20, whereat the line, already eagerly formed again since dismissal from physical drill would "right face", go "column left" and pound over the board floors of the mess shacks with a hungry viciousness which caused enameled dishes and tin spoons to leap in the air and rattle, seeking a voice to cry "route step" and thus "save the bridge." The breakfast fare w^as a goodly one of some variety of canned fruits, cooked or "dry" cereal, eggs and bacon, and large slices of bread, the consumption of which w^as greatly enhanced by the presence of pitchers of molasses. There seemed to be a sufficient supply of "Pullman" cooks and waiters to cheerfully produce a never-ending stream of supplies. Any inclination to "linger over the cups" received an abrupt jolt at 6:45. The company area must be "policed", and this w^as the time set aside for the performance of that task. It w^as accomplished in each company by an avalanche of men w^ho "vultured" everything north and south between two imaginary lines, from barrels to match sticks. If any scrap remained after the initial tour, it was the duty of the first sergeant to see that the perform- ance was repeated. Then came the assembly at seven o'clock. Here commenced the w^ork of the day except for those who, either be- cause of enterprise or inability to prepare the night before, snatched a few moments for study between "first call" and assem- bly for drill. From May 15th until June 15th the training for the thirty companies of the two regiments was carried out along lines CAPTAIN E. H. W.

ADAMS Director of Morale THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 189 of training to all. The aim seemed to be to give all men an equal foundation in the rudiments of infantry drill and tactics, no matter what branch of the service they were striving eventually to enter. It w^as an excellent plan, espe- cially for those men w^ho w^ere destined to train the National Army. The day was full from 7 to 1 2 and from 1 to 4 with drill, lectures and hikes. The evening from 7:30 to 9:30 was devoted to study. "Success in battle is the ultimate object of all military training; success may be looked for only when the training is intelligent and thorough." The staff of instructors at Fort Sheridan — an exceedingly able and efficient group of officers — seemed to bear this opening paragraph of the Infantry Drill Regulations constantly in mind and endeavored to impress it indelibly upon the men, for the success of whom as future officers they were to be so largely responsible. Generalities, how^ever true, meant nothing to them. A man must know his drill regulations precisely. The result was that many candi- dates were trained to the point of being able to give instructions to others in language as explicit and almost identical to that of the drill regulations. Work in the drill regulations the first month covered the School of the Soldier up through the School of the Battalion. Also definitions, orders, commands and signals. The men became skilled in the manual of arms, in sighting, sub- caliber practice, and in the use of the rifle in physical drill. The first principles of bayonet drill were established. The manual of guard duty was taken up and acquaintance made with "Sergeant Hill" in the "Studies in Minor Tactics." The men learned how to roll their packs and to carry them full for hikes of several miles. They learned how to keep their quarters in an orderly manner, to care for their rifle, and to conduct a Saturday inspection. More than learn- ing to command, this first month, they learned the really first essential — to obey. An idea of the rapidity with which work commenced and some impres- sions of a candidate giving a glimpse of the early Camp days are given in a letter dated May 17, 1917: We are down to solid work now, and it seems as though life of any other sort were something of a very distant past. I surely was soft when this new life commenced, and am just be- ginning to experience the old time feelings of health driving out the results of confinement and smoke. It's just as it was last summer — you see very little of anybody out- side of your own company. Of course it isn't much fun not knowing many in the company, — makes it seem like the first few days of school or college but we aren't here for fun anyway. Every company has a regular captain in charge. We have a good instructor for our first platoon — a regular army sergeant, who has been drilling high school companies in the city. He holds a captain's commis- sion in the reserve. We were issued new equipment today cartridge belts, canteens, mess kits, haversacks, rifles and bayonets. All of the latest model and new. 190 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION Artillery knowledge of drill has been sufficient so far, but when work with the rifles commenses, there will be lots to learn.

Have just been out drilling with a bunch with rifles, trying to learn the manual of arms. The food is great There has been no confusion at all in handling this crowd of men. The experience of last summer must have taught them a good many lessons. There are a good many men of a deal of experience here — some have been in the Spanish War and Philippine Insurrection. One man named is a past captain of Chicago police large, deep voice and humorous. The majority seem to keep in good health. They are working up distances in the hikes gradually so that there are few sore feet. All are well-browned already. It will be a far more imposing crowd, though, when all get uniforms. There are still a great many without them. Have been in swimming twice. Water as cold as ice. So are the showers. No hot water at all. Heard of one company where an employer was a private under his office boy as sergeant. The newspapers run a column or so of "bull* every day which is pretty well colored up. You read them to find out what is going on in camp. Don't worry about us. It's a wonderfully healthy life. The drill of the day during the first month was over at 4 P. M., and at 4:30 during the last two. The realization of the longed-for moment of parole to a long pent-up prisoner could hardly be more welcome than was the brassy blast of "recall" to the brain-fagged, dust-begrimed embryo officer. When a heavy-footed column swung scuffling along the road and finally turned down the proper company "street ", it was with much inward groaning that eyes lolled to the right trying to get the proper "dress " after the acting officer in charge had called "Squads right! Compan-e-e ! " And when the command of execution finally came there was a breathless silence lest there be some useless w^ords before "dismissed! " Whoops of glee, sighs of relief and silence followed equally this magic word. Those still "peppy' ran for the wooden doors. Others aimed for the same goal, but time was of no import. Bathrobe or slicker, towel, soap and slippers were first in the minds of all. Then down the line of barracks they would stroll or run having these articles not merely in mind. That chilly month of May produced showers of equal hue. Needless GETTING ACQUAINTED 192 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION to say the time consumed thereunder was not immense. Milder weather brought milder showers. By July they were really hot. Some bothered not with indoor spraying. The open lake held more charm, so down the bluff they would romp, across the sand and into the chilly deep, a few^, absent in mind, still with a wrist watch on. There is nothing like a chill lake for refreshment. This, combined with a day of open air and action, w^as responsible in part for the great canteen popularity. There were two such places of chocolate bars, crackers and "pop" — one in the permanent barracks and one in a little shack beside the bridge on the Illinois side of the ravine. Between 4:30 and 6, and even after supper, there were patrons massed there, buying. Of course, everybody w^as not there. Many indulged in indoor or outdoor baseball, while others amused themselves playing "Leap Frog" and "Duck on the Rock." On July 9th a large throng was entertained by an exhibition ball game between the Sox and Athletics, in which the Sox were defeated, 5 to I . Some few^ of the candidates w^hose homes w^ere but a short distance from the Camp would occasionally hasten away to enjoy a home-cooked supper and rush back to be present at the 7:30 assembly for study. Such a treat was not open to all. Over the w^eek-ends, however, there was more of a chance. Saturday mornings were devoted principally to policing, inspections and the making up of back work. At noon the day's work ended. The War Depart- ment well realized that relaxation was an absolute necessity and that w^ork at a high pitch could not continue with benefit even through the whole of Sat- urday. Rapid training was necessary, but not training to a point of complete exhaustion. The siding, leading from the main line of the "North-Western" to the quartermaster storehouses, had been extended to a point beyond the guard- house. This extension was appreciated in no small degree by the majority of those fortunate enough to secure passes over the much anticipated w^eek-end, for when bedlam broke loose at 12 o'clock there was always a lengthy line of yellow^ coaches on this recent extension, waiting to swallow^ up the seekers of diversion from the military. Many of the men had homes to go to. The families of others lived too far away to make a week-end trip possible. It was for the sake of these latter that many families of Lake Forest, Highland Park, Glencoe, Winnetka, Ken- ilworth, Evanston and Lake Bluff offered the hospitality of their homes. It meant a great deal to the men to be so generously entertained. These people of the nearby towns who were so kind will have the everlasting gratitude of the men who, in their own misfortune, were fortunate enough to have been the recipients of this hospitality. Recreation and entertainment were by no means entirely of an impromptu nature, nor was the planning for them left wholly in the hands of the candi- dates. The men themselves were responsible for a great deal of the fun and sport, but the general direction of organized sports, planned entertainment THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 193 MAJOR W. G. F. NICHOLSON MAJOR JACOB WUEST 194 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION and studies other than miHtary, was under the supervision of that organization which had men on its staff whose time was devoted entirely to encouraging those activities which w^ould be of greatest all around benefit to the men the Y. M. C. A. Just as the Y. M. C. A. moved w^ith the troops to the Border in 1 9 1 6, so did one of its huts grow^ "up together w^ith the quarters of the men at Fort Sheridan. The building consisted of a lecture and entertainment hall large enough to seat over 500 people; library, game and music rooms (also used as committee rooms), five small study rooms, writing tables to accommodate over one hundred men at a time, moving picture booth, and rooms for five secretaries. Mr. G. M. Martin, General Secretary, was in charge. Associated w^ith him were Chaplains Charles W. Gilkey and Myron E. Adams, in charge of religious and educational activities; Mr. E. C. Stevens, director of social activities; Mr. H. B. Miller (later appointed Camp Athletic Officer by Colonel Nicholson), in charge of physical and recreative activities, and Mr. J. H. Nudkiff. Some such a center as that afforded by the Y. M. C. A. in a training camp is more than a luxury. It is a necessity. And all members of the camps at Sheridan w^ill agree that, thanks to the able secretaries working there, the need at the Fort w^as admirably filled. Fourteen classes in French were organ- ized out of the "Young College" of 400 w^ho applied for the course. Each company had its athletic officer, and inter-company ball games were accord- ingly arranged. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening band concerts w^ere given. There were amateur theatricals, movies, or both, once a week. On Sundays services w^ere held w^here could be heard such interesting men as Chaplain Gilkey, Chaplain Adams, Dr. John Timothy Stone and Dean Shailer Matthews. Among other speakers heard during the week were Julius Rosen- w^ald. President Harry Pratt Judson, Dr. W. A. Evans, Homer Rodeheaver, Major Koehler and Colonel Nicholson. The "Y" was ever open and ready to serve the men of the Camp. Many who for the first time at Fort Sheridan became acquainted with the work which it was striving to do became and remained its staunch friends ever after. There were others, too, in the Camp whose main purpose was to serve. These were the Boy Scouts who reported for duty during the opening days of the Camp. They acted as guides to bewildered recruits. They served long tedious hours as orderlies. They performed innumerable odd tasks and errands for instructors and students who had little time for details. And last but not least, they acted as carriers and distributors for that most-looked- forward-to treat of the day — the mail. It is hardly necessary to say that during the early days especially their services were well nigh indispensable. Physical examinations — most dread of all things to the man who was eager to get into the fray commenced their threatening grind the last week of the first month of training. Every man was supposed to have had an exam- ination of some sort before filing his application for admission, but many of these examinations had not been thorough and were of course conducted by THE FIRST OFF'ICERS TRAINING CAMP 195 a great number of physicians not schooled in some of the peculiar military technicalities. At a certain scheduled hour, a company would be marched over to the old hospital on the north side of the ravine. The men would form a single file outside and by jumps of about ten at a time, gradually become assimilated through the front entrance. Long before the last of the men had gone in, the first were coming out from some side door, left sleeves rolled to the shoulder and upper arms feeling strangely queer but show^ing nothing except occasionally a tiny crimson drop. If the stories of these aching-armed jolliers could be believed, Dante himself w^as w^ithin personally conducting a tour through those regions which he has so w^ell pictured for us. The low- spirited remainder knew not whether to laugh it off or become more con- cerned. The usual result was a forced grin and absolute petrification. On Thursday, June 1 4th, one month after the commencement of training, appeared the first copy of "The Ft. Sheridan Reveille", the paper which, after the issue of Thursday, June 2 1 st, w^as to be published every Friday until training at Fort Sheridan ceased to be. It w^as a paper gotten up to keep the men informed as to what had gone on, w^hat was going on, and what was to go on in camp and in the military world. It also aimed to cheer with a fund of fun. The editors consisted of E. B. Lockwood, managing editor; R. F. Rolfe, advertising manager, and Lew Merrill, artist and correspondent. There w^ere eight good pages of reading matter, cartoons and advertisements. SPECIAL FREIGHT SERVICE 196 THE PX)RT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION NEW ONES ON "THE DOUBLE" In addition to important news articles and "Latest Bulletins", a sketch, usually of a prominent officer of the camp, occupied the front page. A "Y. M. C. A. Column ', "R. O. T. C. Notes", poems and jingles, bits of news and cartoons, with "ads", sprinkled in, filled the other seven. The paper was a great success. The first column of the first page of the first "Reveille" tells an interesting story : This is the fifth week at the Reserve Officers' Training Camp five weeks of downright, hard work. The results are wholly satisfactory to both the men and the instructors. The rapidity with which the rudiments of military training have been grasped by men who have heretofore had no experience in that line is one of the remarkable features of the first five w^eeks. In spite of a lot of wild rumors to the effect that the final physical tests w^ould result in w^holesale rejections, quite the contrary is true. The men are showing up well in these final tests and it now appears that the rejections from the physical standpoint will be very few. The grind in getting into trim has been very hard, and the work incident to this task, added to the tense uncertainty about the final outcome of the tests, has placed a severe strain upon the men. That they are coming out well even under this strain shov/s that when they get into full swing Uncle Sam will have no occasion to worry about the conduct of his new^ officers under the trying conditions soon to confront them. THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 197 f ' , w (i- vfj W\. ■"'1 Ii1 The willingness and eager- ness of the men to learn is another feature of the Camp. it is grim business for which they are pre- paring, and they are going about their preparations for the firing line with a grimness that bodes ill for the adversary. Up to this time the general rudiments of the training have been along practically the same lines. Beginning next w^eek. it is generally understood that a gen- eral shake-up w^ill occur and that from then on the branches of the service w^ill divide. Those w^ho are assigned to Cavalry service w^ill then be given special instruc- tion along that line. The Artillery men w^ill proceed to points desig- nated by the Government for spe- cial instruction in their branch, while the Infantry men w^ill be in- structed in trench fighting, snip- ing, etc. It is generally understood that the engineers will be transferred to points where they can continue their preparatory work with the full use of engineering equipment. The tabulation of reports from company instructors showing the choice made by every man in Camp as to the arm he w^ould like to enter was completed, and the task of grouping them in accordance with orders of the War Department was begun. These orders provide that there shall be nine companies of infantry, three batteries of field artillery and one troop of cavalry to each of the two provisional regiments one made up of Illinois and the other of Michigan and Wisconsin men. In addition, each regiment already has its company of engineers. But one part of the redistribution jumped ahead of the others. One hundred out of 254 men who chose to try for commissions in the Coast Artillery were set aside as the group for this branch and ordered to prepare to leave for a seaboard point where they can be given training with the big guns. Fifty of these men come from each regiment. The tabulation of the choices made by the candidates shows that both the Field Artillery and the Cavalry were "over-subscribed. " The excess probably w^ill be used in infantry. WAVING BACK AT THE LAKE The tabulation follows: ILLINOIS MICH.-WISC Infantry 1,022 1,389 Field Artillery 565 426 Cavalry 236 245 Coast Artillery 110 144 Col. W. J. Nicholson, the Commandant, said he felt sure that the number to be discharged in the physical tests now going on will not exceed 3 per cent — or about 1 50 men. 198 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION The above prophecy for the most part came true with the exception that the artillery men did not make a change of station for their training. Although the number of men failing to pass the physical tests was not in excess of three per cent, still every company lost from three to five men. This was the first transfer to take place and it served to impress the seriousness of the situation more than ever on the men who survived it. This iron hand of rigid rules w^hich plucked men aw^ay because of various physical handicaps, seemed unnecessarily severe, yet it had to be. Some of the most promising candidates were thus mercilessly forced out of the running. Eyes v/ere the cause in many cases. It was a sorrowful day for the remaining comrades w^hen these plucky fellows had to pack up and leave. And the men themselves must have felt even w^orse, although they bore it all with a smile. If one should follow the future actions of these men he w^ould find that the great majority immediately redoubled their efforts to enter some branch of the service where their slight ailments w^ould be of no hindrance. Some even went to Canada to enlist in order to give their services to the common cause. On Saturday, June 1 6th, reorganization took place in preparation for the work of specialization. The Engineers, members of old Company E of the Michigan-Wisconsin Regiment and old Company 1 of the Illinois Camp, had left the latter part of the week for the Army Service Schools at Fort Leavenw^orth, Kans. Their quarters w^ere to be used for administration pur- THE ALLEY THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 199 poses.

He first must locate his new barracks, then a cot. The cot, of course, he preferred to have near a former friend, but this w^as not always possible. Friends of the first month were separated, but new^ bunks in new companies w^ere to lay the foundation for new friendships. The moving of personal possessions did not take long after a cot had been located. In fact, the entire transformation was accomplished with a surprising lack of confusion. By Saturday evening the majority were ready for the new tasks of Monday, and week-end passes w^ere enjoyed as usual. On Monday, June 18th, at 7 A. M., the newly-formed companies, bat- teries and troops assembled, were temporarily organized into platoons and THE GENTEEL ART THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 201 THEY ALL SHOWED UP HERE squads, and entered upon the work of specialization with an enthusiasm seem- ingly increased by the vision of a definite goal. On the following day a communication was published in the newspapers of the country, giving notice of the standard demanded of the future officers, signed by Adjutant General McCain. The edict follows: It is time to correct erroneous impressions. The best qualified of all reserve officers and candidates w^ill be selected to become officers of the regiment which the training company represents. The object is to appoint from each company troop and battery men in such numbers and grades as to complete the quota of officers needed for each regiment after officers of the regular army have been provided. The total number selected and the number in each grade will therefore depend upon the regular army contingent appointed to each regiment. While the age limits prevent the appointment of older men to lower grades, they do not prevent the appointment of younger men to higher grades — thus, a man of 30 may be a captain or a major. Appointments to Be Speeded Those qualified to be reserve officers at the end of the training period, but not selected as indicated above, w^ill be appointed officers at once and continued in service for the duration of the war, subject, of course, to elimination for misconduct, etc., or to relief from active duty as the result of a material and unforeseen change in the military situation. Those classified under the paragraph should be such as are com- petent to serve as additional officers of the prospective regiment during its organization period and should be the kind of men who are able to assist in organizing and training the new regiment, to assist in teaching inexperienced and non-commissioned officers their special duties. 202 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION They should be the kind of men that can be counted upon as good officers for troops to be organized later when they have had the advan- tage of their experience with the half million in its formation period. Or they should be good temporary officers in the regular army. They will be recommended for appointment as second lieutenant if under 3 I years and 6 months of age; otherw^ise, as first lieutenant. The number will, of course, vary. It is more a matter of enforcing a high standard than appointing a large number. Quality to Be First Aim It should be borne in mind that other camps will follow if the w^ar continues. An excellent man w^ith three months' training is much supe- rior to a weak man with a year's training; hence, it is better to rely on the excellent men of the next camp than to rely on weak men, no matter how much time they have devoted to training. Men who have definite promise of being competent officers, assum- ing additional training, w^ill be encouraged to enter the next camp. It is expected that the number of these men will be quite small and w^ill include only young men of most exceptional merit and natural ability w^ho have had no military experience prior to the opening of these camps. No reserve officer of enlisted men of the regular army or national guard will be included in this class. Sifting Process Described All others, being those w^ho have merely survived the training period without having demonstrated affirmatively that they possess the fitness and efficiency necessary in an officer, will be discharged with the expiration of enlistment. Reserve officers in this class will be recom- mended for discharge. Enlisted men of the Regular Army and National Guard will be ordered to their respective regiments. Men of indifferent promise will not be compelled to remain in training. Cognizance must be taken of the fact that the men of the National Army w^ill be between 2 1 and 3 1 years and of every gradation of intelli- gence and standing. Immature, weak-looking or unpresentable officers are absolutely out of the question. The requisite is military efficiency. It is emphasized that military efficiency implies ability to lead. The men were hungry for any authoritative information from Washington which might indicate the plans and prospects of the future. Such an announce- ment as that of General McCain served to furnish an idea of what was expected of candidates and what the rewards of their efforts would be. This second and final period of training commenced and continued with an intensity even greater than that of the first. The preliminary training of an all-around nature had been completed. Energy was now diverted towards the work of specialization, although there were several subjects which of necessity were continued and taken up anew, alike by all. Infantry, Artillery and Cavalry continued the "Studies in Minor Tactics" for a period of four w^eeks more. A new study of importance to be taken up simultaneously by the three arms was that of mapping. The subject was carefully explained by the in- THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 203 MAJOR L. C. BRINTON Quartermaster Second R. O. T. C. MAJOR R. G. PECK 204 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION structors, text-books entitled "Notes on Sketching and "Notes on Contour- ing" were distributed, and preliminary studies commenced. The first week of study on this subject was devoted to becoming familiar w^ith the contents of the two text-books. The next week position sketches were made, contour- ing practiced, and road sketches draw^n, three inches to one mile. Before making the road sketches it w^as necessary to become acquainted with the mysterious "alidade." Drawing boards, too, were purchased or fashioned. To establish accuracy in one's "alidade," a man had to determine his "pace scale " Stakes were placed 100 yards apart and men strode from one stake to the next, intently counting, in an endeavor to find their average number of strides. Follow^ing the road sketch, a map of a certain portion of the camp area w^as required. This, of course, was the hardest work of all, for it required the accurate locating of roads, buildings and contours. Mappers v/orked in pairs. A board on a tripod, a sketch on the board and an alidade on the sketch, with a man squinting carefully along the alidade, was a common sight during mapping week. Tripods, however, were not plentiful. The partner's back or a handy post or rock generally served the purpose. The area sketch was the last re- quired of all but the ar- tillery men. It w^as nec- essary for them to go further into the making of "panoramic sketches. " There were tw^o other subjects, not touched upon in the first period, w^hich were introduced during the second "term " in every company, battery and troop — the study of the "Manual for Courts- Martial" and "U. S. Army Regulations." To the lawyers, and there w^ere a good many present, the ver- biage of the former was in no minor w^ay pleas- ing. Instructors of some of the outfits were even known to entrust the COLONEL NICHOLSON AND HIS SON. , , . . i ■ -i ,. CAPTAIN NICHOLSON teachmg of this military THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 205 penal code to habitues of the traditionally hos- tile civil courts. Nev- ertheless, the military instructor was generally present during such classes, in order that there might be no ques- tion as to the proper interpretation of the army text. The term "Military Jurisdiction," found at the top of the first page of Chapter 1 , glared staggeringly at the candidate of a non- legal turn of mind. He wondered if he ever would be able to mas- ter the strange sound- ing w^ords and phrases which followed. After a few^ days' study, how- ever, he found that the explanations were not so terribly vague after all. He learned the sources and kinds of military jurisdiction and the tribunals through which this jurisdiction should be exercised. Of most interest to him among these tribunals w^ere the summary, special and general courts. He found out the distinction between these three "courts-martial " — who had power to appoint members, those persons and offenses over which each court had jurisdiction, the method of procedure, organization, right to witnesses and depositions, rules of evidence, concluding incidents of the trial, punishments, records of trial, and final action to be taken by the appointing or superior authority. After a knowledge of the courts and their powers had been gained, the important Aritcles of War, especially the "punitive," 54th to 96th, inclusive, were studied in detail. The I I 0th warned of certain vital articles w^hich must be read and explained to every soldier at the time of his enlistment and every six months thereafter. If this warning were adhered to, a military offender could never say, "I did not know. " A casual reading of the last of the "puni- tive articles" would almost lead a prospective member of a court to think, "Why all the other articles? When in doubt apply the 96th!" The study of the "Manual" revealed the iron hand of power which might JUDGE LANDIS REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE 206 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION be called upon to enforce discipline, but there was no portion of the law which, if delegated to the judgment of fair and conscientious officers, would be considered unjust. In truth, the candidates learned that sentences in the majority of cases, meted out by military courts-martial, savored more of justice than those awarded by the helter-skelter twelve of the civil courts, who, at times, unfortunately, are swayed by sentimentality. Knowledge gained from the "Manual" was visualized during the latter days of study through the appointment, by the instructors, of courts, culprits and counsel. Trials were carried through from start to finish. Thus did a few test the military legal machinery, while the rest stood by to criticize and learn. Study of the "U. S. Army Regulations" revealed a vast field of military customs and rules, know^ledge of a large portion of w^hich must be gained by a candidate in order that he might become a successful officer. There was not time to study the contents of the entire volume. Only the most important "paragraphs" were assigned. These must be mastered. Information con- tained in those unassigned would have to be looked up when occasion de- manded. The subjects covered in "Army Regulations" are vast and diverse — from courtesies to arrest and confinement, from the Adjutant Generals Department to the Indians, from Money Accountability to Post Gardens. There was great excitement in Camp on Monday, July 9th, for on that day Col. Henry J. Reilly, with the old First Illinois Field Artillery, recently named the I 49th, arrived at the Fort. The camping ground in the woods south of the barracks was none too choice, but with the aid of sand and gravel the men made habitable the soggy, swampy ground. The coming of this regiment was of particular interest to many of the men at the Training Camp, for the summer before they themselves had been members of one or another of its batteries. It was of vital interest to all of the men taking artillery train- ing, because the guns and horses of the 1 49th were to be the ones with which they should train. It was of general interest to all in Camp because this was a regiment which was shaping itself for service overseas, and before long would be there. The regiment stirred not only the interest of all, but likewise the envy — it would soon be at the front! Equilibrium must not be upset by such immediate prospects of action as this. The candidate's greatest opportunity for service, whether here or over- seas, lay in doing well the task which lay ahead, no matter how distant the goal might seem. Besides "Studies in Minor Tactics," "Mapping," "Manual for Courts- Martial" and "U. S. Army Regulations," all outfits continued physical drill (except some of the batteries, the instructors of which, because pressed for time to cover the work required, unfortunately seemed to believe that calis- thenics might well be omitted). Semaphore work, to a certain extent, was likewise carried on, and the art of tent-pitching undertaken. All other training taken up by the infantry, artillery and cavalary was of marked dissimilarity. The infantry commenced upon work with the rifle MASTERING THE SPRINGFIELD SIGHTING YOUR OPTICS ^^^imi^^Ai^Lmi. ~^ OBJECT- TO HIT THE TARGET * 1 • \ 1% •. *^ 208 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION and also continued into the most advanced stages of drill. Before undertaking the perfection of the former, however, they first, with the assistance of the Ohio engineers, laid out and constructed trenches and fortifications of the most modern type, patterned to conform with the latest advices from Europe. It was strenuous w^ork for hands and backs, but the finished network of trenches — advance, support, reserve and communicating, with outposts and dugouts appropriately placed, w^as a notable reward for all the trying exertion. For work with the rifle, the infantry went north to the range and there, not only fired, but practiced the estimating of distances and use of the range- finder. Practical w^ork on the range w^as supplemented by the study of "battle fire training ' and "Rules of Land Warfare.' Lectures by the instructors on American methods of warfare, continuing into the present day methods of foreign armies, served to establish a comprehensive understanding of the subject in the mind of the candidate. Special machine gun instruction was given by Capt. James D. Melville, of the First Illinois Infantry. There w^as additional practical training in road and field w^ork. One company, representing a battalion, regiment, or perhaps merely a company, w^ould go out to oppose another company, representing an equal body of men. To distinguish one side from the other, the members of one of the forces would wear white handkerchiefs around their hats or left arms, w^hile the other side wore no distinguishing mark. Points, Advance Parties, Supports, Reserves and Main Bodies would be properly instructed, and after one side had set off for parts unknow^n, the other unit, a reasonable length of time having elapsed, would set out to find the enemy and strive to effect its capture. There w^as much exciting scout w^ork, heated clashes, rifle snappings, and battles strenuously fought, w^ith victory claimed by both participating sides. The spectacular culmination of the battle training took place in and opposing the labyrinth of trenches, when all was dark and those not fighting w^ere endeavoring to study and slumber. The first shot w^as fired one night at about nine. A sentry in a forward observation post had seen a dim figure mov- ing in a mist south across the ravine. He fired. The shot snapped every rifle- man to attention. Nerves, formerly quivering, fairly hummed. Eyes strained. An indefinite line of figures rose in the mist. Five rifles cracked. The line abruptly faded. An officer in the trenches whispered a command Swish! High in a tall tree a flare burst into dazzling light. The line in the field, for- merly indefinite, loomed as an extensive force of prone forms. Behind lay another. The first was 200 yards away. The attackers hugged the ground in agony at the exposure of the brightness. The light quivered. Up sprang the rear line, rushing forward. Trenches crackled w^ith fire. Down sank the moving forms. The first line, now behind, sprang up, advancing. A new flare in another tree dazzled field and sky. Trench rifles volleyed. The new for- ward attacking line flopped to the ground and opened up with rapid flashes. Crouching figures ran haltingly back and forth along the line. Firing from THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 209 both sides became intense. The attacking lines drew nearer. They were in the ravine. In the wire! Rifles spoke in humming roar. They were past the outposts! In the first line! In the — A bugle blew. The waxen warfare ceased. Grimy, muddy and dusty w^arriors excitedly grouped together and straggled home. One hundred verbal volleys throughout the night failed to decide which had w^on the honors Reds or Blues. In drill the infantry continued beyond the "School of the Battalion" into the study of the "Regiment." They also went on with vigorous extended and close order drill to perfect and enlarge upon the preliminary work of the first month. Bayonet work w^as an important branch of infantry specialization which was brought to a point of perfection in all the companies. Some candidates, who had seen service overseas, assisted in this w^ork through lectures and the personal leading of drills. The finer points of the art of bayonet fighting were taught on the field north of the trenches, w^here w^ire entanglements were placed to baffle, and brushwood dummies to resist, the attacks and thrusts of eager destroyers. The second w^eek of July found in Camp a man destined to fill the infan- try w^ith a thorough appreciation of "accuracy, precision and smack." Major Herman J. Koehler, for 3 1 years principal physical director and instructor of military gymnastics at West Point, had arrived. For two weeks he snapped various companies (and one or tw^o representatives from each battery and troop) through vigorous physical exercises and bayonet drill. His remarks on the "Field Physical Training of the Soldier", as voiced in a syllabus pre- pared for the War Department, were exceedingly valuable and to the point: THE "REDS" AGIN THE "'BLUES' 210 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 1 . Efficiency of Militsu-y Establishments. — That the efficiency of a military establishment is in a direct ratio to the physical fitness of its in- dividual units has never before been demonstrated so forcibly as it has been during the present war. The demands made upon those engaged in this conflict are so far in excess of what w^as thought to be the limit of human endurance, judged by a before-the-w^ar standard, that it is almost impossible to conjecture even w^hat that limit really is. 2. Demand of Modern Warfare. — While modern warfare has not hesitated to impress almost every known science into its service for the purpose of overcoming man, the trained man has up to the present time demonstrated his ability to hold his ow^n against the most terrible odds successfully; and in the end it w^ill be discovered that it is the man, the carefully trained and conditioned man, who alone can make victory possible. 3. Necessity for Physical Training. — With these facts before us it follows logically that the physical training development, and conditioning of those recruited for military service must be the first and most impor- tant concern of a nation at w^ar. 4. Objects Sought by This Course. — The object, therefore, that a course in physical training for recruits must aim to attain, is the develop- ment of every individual physical attributes to the fullest extent of their possibilities, so that he may enter upon the duties his profession imposes w^ith the utmost confidence in his ability to discharge them successfully under any and all circumstances. 5. What Course Must Embrace. — In order to accomplish this object the course must embrace those means that will develop: (a) General health and organic vigor. (b) Muscular and nervous strength, endurance and fortitude. (c) Self-reliance and confidence. (d) Smartness, activity, alertness, and precision. 6. As the extent of the development of all the physical attributes is determined by health and vigor, these must be considered the basis of all physical training. 7. The possession of robust health and organic vigor is not, how- ever, sufficient for the field soldier; his profession requires that he also possess more than the average amount of muscular and nervous strength, endurance and fortitude, against which he may draw in times of stress. 8. With robust health and organic vigor as a basis, and with the know^ledge that he possesses an unusual amount of muscular and nervous strength, he must be taught how^ to preserve the former and how^ to use the latter to the best advantage. By learning to do this he will unwit- tingly develop self-reliance and confidence, which are, after all, physical qualities, since they give to him the courage to dare because of the con- sciousness of the ability to do. 9. Smartness, activity, alertness, and precision are all physical ex- pressions of mental activity, and as such are the powers that guide and control the physical forces to the best advantage. They also make for personal pride and self-respect and discipline, the voluntary, intelligent, co-ordinated, and equal subordination of every individual unit, through v/hich alone the objects of the mass can be achieved. 212 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION What Major Koehler said to a member of the "Reveille" staff concerning Fort Sheridan and other camps is also worthy of note: "In my opinion, the camp measures up to all the others I have visited in every respect, and the material found at all the training camps gives us the assurance that we can count on a large number of capable and con- scientious officers w^ho need only experience to qualify them for the seri- ous profession for which they are training. "There is so much splendid material to draw from that it must be a difficult matter for the authorities to determine, not whom they shall select, but whom they shall drop. It has been my experience that, in the beginning, there were a number of men who were of the opinion that the training was to be of the 'fuss and feathers' variety. It is needless to say that these young men are no longer to be found in any of the camps." When the time came for Major Koehler to leave Fort Sheridan and pro- ceed to some other officers' training camp, further west, every man, however weary as a result of the Major's astounding driving power, w^as loathe to see him depart. The influence of such a leader w^as to have a great effect on the future armies of the United States. All his time could not be devoted to one group of men. He must press on to make every moment count — an equal period for every 2000 men — and by August 1 5th a spirit of vigor created among 30,000 that would help to make of the coming National Army a fearless multitude of well-nigh perfect men whose work towards furthering the righteous cause at stake could not help but be tremendous. From Major Koehler and the infantry — those men who, with 20 out of the 28 organizations of the Camp, comprised far more than half of the attend- ing candidates let us turn to that smaller group which filled but six of the 28 the artillery. The artillerymen, as is always the case in countries of un- preparedness, commenced training under a serious handicap. For three weeks after the Camp reorganization their work was greatly retarded because of lack of proper equipment. They went ahead with those subjects which were studied alike by all of the organizations, and they had for study copies of "Drill and Service Regulations for Field Artillery " (at least, each squad had a copy and some individuals who owned their own), but guns and horses were sadly lacking. There were but four 3-inch guns with caissons and limbers available for the instruction of the six batteries of the Camp. They were the ones which belonged to Battery "C" of the First Illinois Field Artillery and fortunately had been kept at the Fort since the mustering out of that organiza- tion the preceding Fall. Instruction in nomenclature and use went on in spite of the handicap. Each training battery, during these three weeks of gun famine, had one hour a day to be spent in the presence of the four valuable pieces. During the first week Captain Morley of the Michigan-Wisconsin camp and Captain Osborne of the Illinois, instructed each battery of their respective regiments at the guns. They talked on the subject of artillery in general, and of different types of American field guns of past and present use. They ex- plained in detail the American 3-inch gun, pointing out and naming every THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 213 visible part. Many invisible parts, as of the breech block, were brought to view by an assistant to help in clarifying the explanation. The dismounting of the gun was explained and also such weird sounding terms as angle of site mil and corrector. The circle of eager listeners strained eyes and ears in an effort to catch every word. Queer names were scrawled in notebooks. At the end of the lecture heads whirled like a rotating band blown through a rifled tube. The next two weeks each instructor w^ent with his own battery at the allotted hour and, w^ith the assistance of a few men of previous experience, continued in familiarizing the men with the nomenclature of all parts of the materiel — pieces, caissons and limbers — and took up preliminary work in gun drill. The arrival of the entire First Illinois Field Artillery with more 3-inch guns, relieved the situation tremendously. There was then equipment enough so that each of the four platoons of a battery could have separate periods at the guns every day. Cannoneer drill was practiced, then drill of the gun squad. The work culminated in the training of entire firing batteries, com- mands being given by executives and data set off and carried into effect at the guns. An hour and a half a day w^as spent in lectures and conferences on the "Drill Regulations." Special attention was paid to Volume III, which was devoted to instruction in firing. The objects of this instruction as given in the "Regulations" are: 1. To train the personnel in the mechanism of the methods of fire so that, at the word of command, fire of the desired nature may be de- livered with certainty and celerity. (Fire discipline.) STICK 'EM, BOYS! -- > 1 1=.' t » kL > S'— THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 215 LIMBERING UP STUNTS 2. To train officers and their assistants so that they may utilize the weapons at their disposal to the best advantage. (Conduct of fire.) Problems involving the use of the parallax and parallel methods of com- puting fire data and formulas for figuring the site and crest problems gave many men a preliminary taste of the intricacies of the work ahead. To the man with a limited training in mathematics the subject seemed almost impos- sible. To many others more highly schooled it seemed the same. But it would take more than seeming impossibility to down the spirits of these eager can- didates. By diligent study and working together — those of some experience helping those w^ho were new — all strove and hoped to finish the course with success. Practice in semaphore was given up for work with the "buzzer." In- structors asked for any men who had a knowledge of wireless or the "Morse code" to volunteer their services in helping to teach the other men the use of these strange little instruments. From six to eight of the volunteers from each battery were chosen to teach sections of their respective batteries. Each section was "issued" a "buzzer." The instructor first showed the proper method of holding the key and then explained and gave out the mysterious Morse alphabet of dashes and dots. "Operators" for the most part caught on quickly and by the end of the period of training were able to send and receive at the rate of eight to ten words a minute. Automatic pistols were issued to the batteries and work commenced at once in learning the nomenclature of the parts and the method of strip- ping and assembling the weapon. Then came aiming drill or "making tri- angles", which was conducted with a pistol in the same manner as with a rifle. 216 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION Each squad had a chest high tripod which supported a bag of sand. A pistol pointing toward a barrack w^all w^as firmly set in the sandbag, the tripod being fifteen to twenty feet away from the wall. A man with a little black cardboard bulls eye (about an inch in diameter) fastened to a stick w^ould stand close to the wall and hold the bull s eye over a sheet of paper somewhere in the vicinity of the range of vision of another man who glanced along the sights of the pistol. At the verbal command or hand signal of the man aiming, the man by the wall w^ould move the bull's eye up or down, right or left, until the aimer called "stop ! ' He w^ould then, through a pinhole in the center of the bull's eye, mark a little dot on the paper with a sharp pointed pencil. The man at the pistol would aim three times. Seldom did one dot coincide w^ith another. But they were not meant to. The object was to get three dots very close to- gether and equidistant, so that w^hen lines were drawn connecting the points, the result w^ould be a minute equilateral triangle. A man w^ho could accom- plish that, proved himself a skillful aimer. After demolishing the barracks with triangular broadsides the marksmen ventured onto the range and there were shown how to hold the weapon and the proper posture to take in firing. Six to eight targets were used, behind and beneath which men w^ere stationed to point out with long markers the spot where a bullet hit, and then to lower the target and paste over the holes so as to be able to distinguish the perforations of the succeeding marksmen. These men who fired stood in single file facing the target, a line of equal length for each target. Men who had fired helped load clips for those who had not. Each man fired once at fifteen yards and again at twenty-five, five shots each time. After that firing w^as continued at tw^enty-five yards by men in turn until THE ARTILLERY WAS THERE THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 217 "STEADY, BOYS!" the period ended. To those who had not fired before, at least with an auto- matic, the sensation was strange, and a good many shots ploughed the ground. Some of the men made very high scores. It was most unfortunate that each battery had an opportunity to fire on the range but once. For training with horses as well as with guns, the Fort artillerymen were indebted to the 1 49th Field Artillery. Each of the six training batteries were assigned the horses and harness of one of the batteries of that regiment for training purposes. The men first learned how to feed and care for a horse and how to groom him. They studied his terminology and learned through lectures his common diseases and the proper treatment for them. Instruction was next given on the care and cleaning of harness, then in saddling. Equita- tion followed, and the struggle to create horsemen out of every man, no matter how awkward his initial attempt on the back of a four-footed equine might be. Round and round the corrals lines of horses would go, first at a walk, then at a trot; instructors and candidate assistants constantly calling attention to fallacies of reins, arms, legs or heels, with a frequent plea for day- light saving between the horse and knees. Equitation progressed until some of the common figures of cavalry drill were ably performed, the majority of riders feeling a great deal of confidence in the saddle. Following instruction in individual riding came harnessing and the driving of teams. This was fa- miliar work to the old "Bordermen" and their experience was a great factor in helping out the others. Platoon drill, mounted, was carried out, but drill by battery was for some reason not attempted. In order that the men might gain a slight idea of conditions on the march and in the field, each battery, with horses, materiel, packs and rations, set off, THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 219 in battery column, mounted, bound for a location chosen by the instructor, suitable for a night encampment. When such a spot was reached, the car- riages having been formed properly in line, drivers and cannoneers would dismount, the drivers proceeding to unhitch, lead or ride their pairs to w^ater and back to the picket lines, w^hile cannoneers stretched picket lines between the w^heels of the carriages and prepared to camp for the night. When the drivers had securely tied their horses, they joined w^ith the cannoneers in un- making their packs and pitching shelter tents at the regulation distance of not closer than ten yards "in rear of the rear line of carriages." A formation was then held followed by supper, individually cooked, consisting of bacon, pota- toes, onions, bread and coffee. Many of the chefs were neophytes, but suc- cesses far exceeded failures. At least no one w^ent to bed hungry. After mess- kits had been cleaned, there was a little time for recreation and then bed, if hard ground could be called such, at nine o'clock. After a 5:30 reveille, breakfast similar to supper was prepared, tents struck, packs rolled and horses groomed. Grounds were "policed", horses hitched, packs tied on carriages and animals, and, after drivers and cannoneers had mounted, the battery rumbled back to Camp somew^hat wiser and aching in many joints. To train candidates in the conduct of fire, the blackboard method w^as first used. A target of four sections, representing an enemy battery, w^as sketched upon the board and in and about these enemy guns the instructor would indicate w^ith chalk, points where a candidate's shots had hit or burst. Proper initial commands had to be given before the first salvo was fired, and each succeeding salvo or volley was registered only after new commands, mak- ing supposedly proper corrections, had been given. Whether the adjustments ordered had been correct or not w^as indicated on the board with a new^ set of chalk "bursts. " By this scheme of instruction candidates learned to prop- erly sense bursts, to control direction, distribution, height of burst and range, in fire for adjustment; and to pass at the right moment into the proper method of fire for effect. Other devices used to facilitate training in the principles of fire w^ere miniature targets placed on the ground, the instructor using a long stick with a round disc on the end to designate the kind and location of bursts; and min- iature painted "ranges", called "terrain boards. " Lack of materials, time and room made it impossible to carry on smoke-bomb or sub-calibre practice, each of which w^ould have helped still more to clarify and give practice in this dif- ficult a>-t of fire control. Opportunity to use these methods and actual fire v/ere to be enjoyed after August 1 5th. While the infantry dug trenches, west of the main north and south road, the artillery dug model gun emplacements on the eastern side. That was one form of blister-raising amusement not enjoyed by the cavalry. The majority of the work covered by the two cavalry troops of the Camp was similar to that of the artillery with the exception that additional study of horses and mounted drill took the place of the firing instruction on the ar- tillery schedule. They mastered the cavalry drill regulations, studied in detail 220 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION the anatomy of the horse and his diseases — common and uncommon — and rode and drilled mounted with and without saddles, until by fours they per- formed with remarkable finish and skill. It was not until the Camp was nearly over that a rumor spread about that the cavalry troops of the training camps would in all probability not be used to officer new squadrons to be sent abroad. The true news came too late to permit of any revision in the cavalry training schedule. It was a blow that struck disappointment in the heart of many whose love of horses had led them into that branch of the service. But the cavalrymen willingly were equal to any emergency, as was later so well indi- cated by the type of machine gun companies which they whipped into shape at Camps Custer and Grant. A time of dire dread to every man in Camp was Saturday morning, after inspection. Hour tests were given, covering the work of the week. Marks made on these would be sure to affect a man's chances of surviving all cuts. The papers in some organizations, marked by men chosen by the instructor for the purpose, were given back the following week, and brought joy and sorrow in varying degrees to the recipients. True enough, there were cuts made. Some came at the time of reorgani- zation, some one month later and, after that a few men were dropped from each organization every week. These were serious times of thought and worry to both candidates and instructors. ON AND OFF AGAIN THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 221 A great opportunity which was offered, especially to the younger men, was the chance to make application for admittance to aviation officers train- ing schools. The number allowed to apply was not limited. The response was quite large and many passed the required physical tests. Some were sent to Canada and some to camps in this country, principally the University of Illinois Ground School, for training. Opportunities were also offered and accepted to become administrative and truck train officers in the quartermasters' corps and to become officers in the ordnance department. It may be imagined that in the intensity of training, the problems afford- ing military enlightenment were assailed with the primary purpose of finding a solution — all thought of a definite enemy being out of mind. To a certain extent this was true. Surely Germans were not continually talked about, nor w^as the righteousness of the cause of the Allies; but nevertheless these two subjects lay in the near background of every man's mind, and events w^ere fre- quently happening w^hich would bring these latent feelings to the fore. Early in June the First Liberty Loan was launched throughout the United States. Did this drive omit the Training Camps, feeling perhaps that the men there were doing enough without calling upon them to subscribe? Not a bit of it. The men w^ould have deeply resented having the opportunity of helping to the utmost taken aw^ay from them. The drives included the camps, and, even though some men w^ere having difficulty in meeting obligations on the pay received, nevertheless the response of the candidates w^as generous. An ac- count in the "Reveille" reads: If the Emperor of Germany has allowed himself to look at the re- turns from Liberty Bond subscriptions in the United States he has seen where the student officers at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, have given more than $107,000 to their government to aid in financing the American end of the world war. If he has permitted himself to ponder on the significance of this offer of both life and money on the altar of freedom he has done so w^ith a catch in his murderous throat. Men in the Reserve Officers' Training Camp are not minimizing in the least the difficulties of the task ahead in clearing the road to democ- racy in Europe, but they are going to do their part in clearing the road. This grim determination to make the w^orld safe for peace-loving people ever after is shown by the spirit of loyalty back of the Liberty Bond sub- scriptions. The kaiser can well exclaim, "Mein Gott, those Americans mean business! " for they mean nothing else, and they are going to do business under the folds of Old Glory until the last "divine right " blasphemer is driven from power. News Bulletins on the Liberty Loan in America furnish the hand writing on the wall for the bloodiest hand of swashbucklers the world has yet seen, and the returns at R. O. T. C. stand out among all the rest. Having given their money as the least they can do, they are preparing to add their lives to their subscriptions as the most they can do. If more can be done it w^ill be done. 222 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION ^^fjirrfji' A DAILY EXERCISE Boche propaganda which had fooled the people of this nation for several years, did not cease with the declaration of war on April 6th. True, at the Training Camps it did not descend to the cowardly depths reached at Camp Grant, and some other cantonments, where hungry men in the mess halls crunched, unwarned, on breakfast food flavored with ground glass; nor was there opportunity to mangle innocent men by creating defective airplane parts. The gentle method adopted w^as the spreading of rumors w^ith the intention of belittling the strength of the Allies and enlarging on the prowess of the Hun; thus creating a sense of fear among the candidates. Needless to say, even had the rumors been true, the men were not of a type, and no true American is, to be thus easily intimidated. One rumor told of the tremendous mortality of Allied officers. Some parents, perhaps, w^ere affected by such rumors. It was for them, no doubt, that the following statement by Roger Babson, the eminent statistician, appeared in the papers during July: Fourteen men out of every fifteen have been safe so far. Under present conditions, where man power is being saved, not more than one in thirty is killed. Only one man in five hundred loses a limb — a chance no greater than in hazardous conditions at home. Most of the wounds sustained in the trenches are clean cut and of a nature that a few weeks in the hospital makes the subject as as fit as ever. But 300,000 French soldiers have been discharged on account of wounds during the three years of the w^ar. From fighting in the trenches most of the wounds are in the top of the head, simply scalp wounds. Practically speaking, a wound is either fatal or slight, w^ith few^ in betw^een these tw^o extremes. Of course, the w^hole thing is horrible enough as it is. But I wish to tell the fathers and mothers left behind by the boys that, looking at the matter in the light of cold-blooded statistics, these boys are not going into anywhere near the danger the folks at home imagine. ACTIVITIES OF ^> ""^/, \ - .^^ '"MilMr INSPECTION J .^> ^w^ ;\ ' ALSO PUP-TENTS 224 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION It is not the custom of Americans to adopt a hymn of hate and become depraved in the chanting of it. But to refrain from truth, the proclaiming of which would help to enhance righteous indignation, already kindled, w^ould be an act of omission difficult to pardon. There -were many men of our gov- ernment working to bring to the eye of the public the truth about conditions as they were known to exist. Prominent among these was Secretary of State Robert Lansing. In a speech to the student officers at Madison Barracks he said : The evil character of the German government is laid bare before the world. We know that that government is inspired with ambitions w^hich menace human liberty, and that to gains its end does not hesitate to break faith or to perpetrate interminable acts of humanity. It needed but the words reported to have been uttered by the Ger- man chancellor to complete the picture of the character of his govern- ment when he announced that the only reason why the intensified sub- marine campaign was delayed until February last was that sufficient submarines could not be built before that time to make the attacks on commerce efficient. Do you realize that this means that the promises to refrain from brutal submarine warfare which Germany had made to the United States were never intended to be kept, that they w^ere only made in order to gain time to build more submarines and that w^hen the time came to act German promises were unhesitatingly torn to pieces like other "scraps of paper" ? Let us understand once for all that this is no war to establish an abstract principle of right. It is a war in which the future of the United States is at stake. Imagine Germany victorious in Europe because the United States remained neutral. Who, then, think you would be the next victim of those who are seeking to be masters of the whole earth? Would not this country with its enormous wealth arouse the cupidity of an impoverished though triumphant Germany? Would not this democracy be the only obstacle between the auto- cratic rulers of Germany and their supreme ambition? Do you think they would withhold their hand from so rich a prize? Primarily then every man who crosses the ocean to fight on foreign soil against the armies of the German emperor goes forth to fight for his country and the preservation of those things for which our forefathers were willing to die. To those who thus offer themselves we owe the same debt that we do to those men who in the past fought on American soil in the cause of liberty. No, not the same debt, but a greater one. It calls for more patriotism, more self-denial, and a truer vision to w^age war on distant shores than to repel an invader or defend one's home. I, therefore, congratulate you young men in your choice of ser- vice. You have done a splendid thing. You have earned already the gratitude of your countrymen and of generations of Americans to come. Your battle flags will become the cherished trophies of a nation w^hich will never forget those who bore them in the cause of liberty. THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 225 ATTACK AND DEFENSE Were every people on earth able to express their will there would be no wars of aggression, and if there were no wars of aggression there would be no wars, and lasting peace would come to this earth. The only way that a people can express their will is through democratic institutions. Therefore, when the world is made safe for democracy, when that great principle prevails, universal peace will be an accomplished fact. No nation of people will be fit more than the United States when that time comes. But it has not yet come. Gala occasions at Fort Sheridan were few and far between. There was little time for "fuss and feathers" during the few precious weeks of prepara- tion. Two parades were indulged in, however — one on July 4th when the members of both regiments tramped to Lake Forest and back; and the other on Saturday, August 5 th, when both regiments entrained for Chicago to par- ticipate in the great National Army parade. The committee in charge of this parade consisted of: John T. Stockton, chairman; Angus S. Hibbard, secretary; Howard Elting, Charles Hopper, E. U. Kimbark, H. H. Merrick, Victor Olander, Paul Steinbrecher, Charles H. Wacker, Thomas E. Wilson, Kay Wood, John W. OLeary, ex-officio. The finance committee which provided for the necessary expenses of the event — transportation, grand stand, flags, invitations — consisted of John A. Spoor, chairman; Samuel Insull, E. D. Hulbert, B. E. Sunny and Frank O. Wetmore, treasurer. 226 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION The idea of the parade had strongly appealed to citizens of foreign birth, so that Polish, Servian and other societies were active in organizing marchers and in arranging for the representation of their citizens along the parade route. The National Army Day Committee, with the co-operation of the mem- bers of the exemption boards for the registration divisions of the city, dis- tributed 10,000 posters prepared to command the attention of the registered men, and mailed directly to those in the first quota to be called, 50,000 invi- tations. The officers of the parade w^ere: Grand Marshal, Colonel W. J. Nichol- son; Assistant to Grand Marshal, Major Raymond Sheldon; Chief of Staff, Captain E. R. W. McCabe; Aids, Captain Benson, Captain Wharton Clay, executive secretary Military Training Camps Association. After the event, seven trains carried the members of the R. O. T. C. to the Stock Yards, where luncheon was served to all troops and where, in the pavilion, the men were received and addressed by members of the Russian commission and others. The "Reveille" of Friday follow^ing the parade gives an interesting description : Student officers at R. O. T. C. still feel the thrill of Chicago's wel- come to the new National Army and its leaders. Crowds that made the loop district a seething mass of humanity gathered to honor the men who w^ill fight for liberty on the battlefields of France w^ill long be remembered by the men at Fort Sheridan. The fighting men were on parade. With seven bands playing the soulful battle hymns of all the allied nations, soldiers, sailors and poten- tial fighters passed before tens of thousands of spectators w^ho w^ere there to pay them worship. It w^as National Army day, and the men who have or will be called to the colors w^ere the guests of honor. Thousands of men w^ho w^ill serve in the new^ army w^ere in line. Every one of them carried an American flag. A more stirring spectacle hardly could be imagined. They looked like a giant wave of red, white and blue to a spectator from a skyscraper w^indow^. Representatives of every military establishment in Chicago and Cook County took part in the parade. Four thousand members of the Reserve Officers' Training Camp at Fort Sheridan, 6,000 National Guardsmen, the jackies with their great band and the National Army men, with policemen and firemen, composed the make-up. The guards- men lined the sides of the streets until the registered men had passed, then fell in and covered the complete line of march. Twenty-two thousand seven hundred soldiers, sailors and civilians marched in the parade. It took one hour and twenty-five minutes for the parade to pass the reviewing stand, and three-quarters of an hour for the National Army men alone. The marchers stood as follows in numerical strength: National Army men, 10,000; student officers, 4,100; National Guardsmen, 6,000; aliens and foreign-born citizens, 2,000; policemen, 300; firemen, 300. 228 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION The parade started practically on the minute. Ten o clock was the scheduled time, and exactly at 10:10 the troops from Fort Sheridan swung out of Grant Park at Van Buren street and entered Michigan avenue to march north until reaching Randolph street. A mighty cheer w^ent up as the khaki-clad student officers started up the avenue. There w^as a ripple of flags on the side-lines as far as one could see. The cheers had the effect of a tonic on the men. Heads up, chests out, they marched in perfect unison. The troops approached the reviewing stand at the Art Institute. Everywhere there was shouting and flag waving. At times the music of the bands could hardly be heard. Hats came off in salute to the colors. Colors of America and her allies w^ere everyw^here. On the front of the Art Institute the American and Russian flags w^ere entw^ined. Everywhere else the flags of all nations fighting for liberty were displayed. Nearly every spectator carried a flag or w^ore the colors. In the reviewing stand stood Maj.-Gen. Thomas H. Barry, com- manding the Central Department, U. S. A., members of the Russian com- mission, representatives of the civic organizations that organized the big demonstration, and relatives of the "258's. ' After an escort of motorcycle and mounted police had passsed, the student officers, led by Col. W. J. Nicholson, their commander, who was grand marshal as w^ell, came even with the review^ing stand the cheering grew deafening. General Barry w^atched the troops go sw^inging by. His face lighted and he clapped his hands. "Wonderful, wonderful, and in three months, too," he said. Four thousand one hundred of the student officers passed the stand. "What a w^onderful performance for only three months of training!" exclaimed General Barry, his face wreathed in smiles of satisfaction, as he turned to the head of the Russian mission. Ambassador Boris H. Bakhmetieff. "That shows," he added, clapping his hands vigorously, "what Americans can do w^hen the heart is right." And the eminent Russian, his gaze riveted upon the marchers, their heads erect, their steps in splendid unison, could not restrain his enthusiasm. "It is the finest body of men I ever saw!" he said. "The men are remarkably drilled. It is an inspiring sight!" Ambassador Bakhmetieff of the Russian mission gave vent to his feelings with applause, then turned to say: "What an inspiring sight. Such a demonstration as this gives me further confidence for the world-wide success of democracy " Meanwhile, the Great Lakes Naval Training Station band, divided into two sections, played continuously the war hymns of America and her allies. Then came detachments of policemen and firemen. There was a separate detachment of the men in the two services who are subject to service in the National Army. The crowds applauded them, too. First Deputy Chief Westbrook and Capt. John B. Alcock led the policemen, and Battalion Chiefs Edward F. McGurn and Michael Corrigan led the firemen. Suddenly the cheering became earsplitting. The noise became one great roar. The National Army men were coming! THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 229 The "258's" were first. Leading them were four men, a w^hite American, a black American, a Russian and a Chinese, representative of the cosmopolitan throng that was to follow^. The National Army men, marching in regiments and under their own district banners, formed a long line. According to the estimate of the official recorder in the stand, there were 10,000 civilians in line. Every one of the 10,000 saluted with his flag as he came even with the reviewing stand. General Barry and the crowd on the stand returned it with smiles and applause. Women jumped on chairs and waved flags. Pandemonium reigned until the last man had passed. Never was there such a demonstration of favor in the city's history, in the belief of many observers. Follow^ing the National Army men came a tank with a banner on its sides, containing just one word: "Enlist. " Then 6,000 Chicago members of the Illinois National Guard fell in, preceded by the Naval Training Station band. At this time 14,700 men had marched past the reviewing stand. Three regiments of guardsmen were in line — the Second, Seventh and Eighth Infantry. Following the guardsmen came 2,000 or more aliens and foreign- born citizens above the age limit for the National Army. They were there because they wished the people to know that the foreign born are w^ith the United States in her hour of need. Every flag of America's allies was carried in the ranks of the aliens. Boy Scouts carried banners designating the nationalities of the men they preceded. Cheers greeted the foreign born, as they had the student officers, the policemen and firemen, the jackies and the National Guardsmen. There w^as not a break in the ranks of the spectators until the last man had passed. Arrangements for the parade, well perfected beforehand, were car- ried out without a hitch. Although the crush of spectators was great, the police had control over the crow^d at all times. Committees in charge of the parade expressed great satisfaction at the demonstration. Chicago is the first city so to honor its men called for service in the National Army, and it is probable that the example w^ill be follow^ed by other cities. Immediately after the parade, General Barry wrote the following letter to Colonel Nicholson: I cannot speak in too high praise of the magnificent appearance made by the Training Camp men in this morning's parade. The impres- sion they made on everybody who was fortunate enough to witness the parade w^ill be lasting and should convince all of the necessity for, and the great benefits to be derived from, universal service and training. Chi- cago never saw^ a more magnificent body of intellectually, morally and physically perfect young American manhood than they saw^ today in the Training Camp Regiment, including the Training Camp men w^ho mag- nificently handled the selected men. I congratulate them and you and all the instructors at the Camp for the wonderful results attained in the past three months. THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 231 I am satisfied, too, that the selected men were impressed by the proficiency of the men who are to command them. I would like to have you assemble all the Training Camp men and read them this letter. During the latter days of July, Lt.-Col. James A. Ryan and Maj. James S. Parker personally interviewed every member of their respective regiments. Certain hours were assigned to each company, battery and troop for these inspections. When the chief instructor arrived at a company at the appointed hour, the men were w^aiting in line outside the door, in a mysterious order, not alphabetical, having been placed there in accordance with a list in the hands of their instructor. Could it be that the position a man held in this file meant his order of rank in the company? Eyes glanced up and down the lengthy line. The men tow^ard the head undoubtedly had made excellent records. Before the line commenced to move the men were told to give certain information as soon as they had properly addressed the inspector, w^ithout w^aiting to be questioned. They should then replace their hat, about face, and w^alk out. The line commenced to move. The first man had gone in and out successfully. He had recited his "piece" without a hitch. All down the line he w^as eagerly questioned. "Wasn't anything. They don't ask you a thing, ' w^as his smiling reply. Nervousness continued to grow, however. A speck of mud on a shoe, a scratch on a puttee, a bit of dust on a sleeve loomed alarmingly annoying as the momentous door w^as approached. No, it "wasn't anything, " but some men's minds, nevertheless, became an utter void in the midst of a simple statement, and others awkw^ardly faced about to the left and bolted for the door, when their "speech" had been finished, only to have the humiliation of being recalled by the inspecting officer and told to about face properly to the right before leaving. Some believed themselves "queered " for good, but actually it is doubtful if this inspection counted for much, as the final lists of recommendations were already made up and ready to send in to Washington. It was merely a little act of checking up by the higher authorities on the recommendations of the company, battery and troop in- structors. And the speculation of many was right concerning the order of the line awaiting inspection the men had been arranged to appear in order of rank that the work of checking recommendations might be facilitated. On August 3rd the following bit of news was published, resulting in the creation of multitudes of rumors, speculations and moments of anxiety: Sealed verdicts are ready in the cases of the 4,000 members of the Officers' Training Camp who have survived the grueling work of the last eleven weeks. The company boards w^hich pass upon the recommendations of the instructor of a company, battery and troop completed their two w^eeks' grind this evening. They have listened to the case of every candidate for a commission, have read his record, have looked him over, and have approved or modified the recommendation of his instructor. An emphatic order from the War Department directs that no pub- licity whatever shall be given the recommendations until they have been acted upon at Washington. 232 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION It is expected that Washington vs^ill have acted upon the reports from the Camp before August I 1th, the close of the instruction period; but in the meantime the students are supposed to be in ignorance of their fate. This is not entirely true, as some of them have discovered exactly vv^here they stand, but Col. W. J. Nicholson, commanding officer, has asked that no reports of this sort be published. The regimental board w^hich passed upon recommendations for staff positions quartermaster and ordnance department completed its work several days ago. There were not many more days of work remaining before the fatal news w^ould be know^n. It w^as hard to study under these conditions of uncertainty, but, nevertheless, work and study did go on with the accustomed seriousness of purpose. Three farew^ell receptions, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., w^ere held during the next to final weel: of Camp. The order of companies attending these meetings and the speakeis and committees of reception follow: MONDAY, AUGUST 6TH Companies 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Cavalry Troop, Batteries 1, 2, 10th Regiment.

THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 233 AWARDING COMMISSIONS The remarks of all of the speakers at these meetings created a deep impression on these men who were on the verge of an experience without precedent in American history. The words of the commanding officer, Colonel Nicholson, were especially taken to heart: A previous speaker has told you that many of you will be officers. I would like to make officers of all of you, but we are limited by Wash- ington. You know^ the good book says that many are called, but few are chosen. We are going a little further and say that many have been called and nearly all will be chosen. You are going to take upon yourselves grave responsibilities. The term officer carries the idea of leadership. You know your duties and know yourselves. You are going to be up against some hard proposi- tions — propositions that you haven't been used to, and you have got to make up your minds before you go across to France that nothing can stop you from reaching your goal. Whether you have one trench or fifty trenches to take, you must decide that as long as you have life in your bodies you must fight to the end. Many of you men have never been leaders. You have alw^ays been told w^hat to do. Now^ you are going to tell other men what to do and teach them. So remember this all men appreciate justice and a square deal. You must be square and just in all your dealings. Be honest and direct. Don't be afraid to go up to a man and take hold of him if necessary. The law^ permits you to use necessary force. Keep yourselves above reproach and never do any- thing that will enable a man to say, 'Oh, well, if that man does anything to me, I'll inform on him. " Keep your consciences clean, live like men, and nothing will ever make you ashamed or afraid. 234 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION I hope it will be my privilege to go to France with you, and from w^hat I have seen of the men at this camp I am sure their commanders will not blush for them, for I feel that you realize that you have a high duty to perform and that you will do that duty to the best of your ability. On Thursday evening, August 9th, the rewards of three months of tireless study and struggle w^ere meted out. It w^as an evening of intense and hushed excitement. Some studying had been done following supper, but after a few moments of attempted application, all endeavor failed. Soon there were dis- tant cries of "AH out!", "Fall in!", and one company after another, at intervals of fifteen minutes, tramped tensely and silently out of their company streets. But the entire quota of a company did not go. After the men had formed in the dim light of dusk, the captain called to his men "at ease" and read the names of about thirty candidates. Why these men had been told to step from the ranks w^as not immediately announced, but it was later made know^n that among them were those who had been assigned to the Regular Army as pro- visional second lieutenants, those who w^ere to be commissioned in the quar- termaster or ordnance corps, some w^ho w^ere dismissed for good and those who would be given the choice either of attending the Second Officers' Train- ing Camp or going into service in the National Army as non-commissioned officers. Let it be said to the great credit of this latter group that the majority of those w^ho entered the National Army as non-commissioned officers first rendered invaluable service in helping to train the new recruits, followed in nearly all cases by recommendation to the Third Officers' Training Camp and the wrinning of a commission; w^hile of those who chose to enter the Second Officers' Training Camp, practically every man gained a commission, some of them even of the grade of first lieutenant. The remainder of the company — about 80 to 1 00 men — closed ranks to the right, and, at the appointed minute, under command of their captain instructor, faced to the right and followed the road w^hich led to the ominous tow^er. A few^ feet from that first door, w^hich had been entered in May w^ith the little postal of admission, was another door. Here entered the solemn procession, and trudged up the stairs. After indefinitely climbing, the in- structor grasped a knob. The door opened and the men filed in. There w^ere desks there. They seated themselves before any desk. The instructor w^alked to the front of the room. His steps were painfully loud. He unbuttoned a breast pocket and pulled out a crackling roll of paper. Some candidates leaned forward, others slouched carelessly back. With a slight cough, he commenced to read: Adjutant General's Office, August 7, 1917. To Commanding Officer, Training Camp, Fort Sheridan, Illinois. Inform those concerned that the following appointments have been made from Company, Provisional Training Regiment, to date from August fifteen, nineteen seventeen. To be Majors: Section (Infantry, Artillery, Cavalry) Officers' Reserve Corps. To be Captains: To be First Lieutenants: To be Second Lieutenants: THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 235 On down the line he read, the names being in order of rank, each name registering a sentiment of approval, commendation or surprise. Feelings of approval outnumbered those of surprise, and it was generally agreed that awards had been properly made. The task of the instructor in classifying so large a number of men, known by him for so brief a period, was admittedly one of extreme difficulty. Age, previous experience and training camp record had been carefully weighed. Of these, age w^as considered of greatest impor- tance. Of course, some mistakes w^ere made, but the majority of appoint- ments, considering the fund of excellent material, could not have been improved upon. The aw^ards of August 9th were to be kept secret until public announce- ment in the newspapers had been made. Following the general publication of the commissions awarded came the announcement of the names of those men who had been appointed to act as instructors at the Second Officers' Training Camp. Tw^o such men of the rank of either captain or first lieutenant were chosen from each company, battery and troop. Another announcement which came as a total surprise to every candidate, whether included in the appointment or not, w^as a list of officers assigned for duty overseas. The method of choosing these men varied in different camps NOTABLES OF MANY STATES REVIEWING THE FIRST CAMP MEN 236 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION Wfwmmmimm^ '*'*''**'tll8?tfH^tti!MitiMiHi V'^^MH )iy i U B B THE REVIEW— SOLEMN IN ITS GRANDEUR of the country. At Plattsburg announcement of the opportunity was made and French-speaking volunteers were given the privilege of going. In order camps, volunteers, whether French-speaking or not, w^ere sent. At Sheridan the men to go w^ere chosen by the instructors. An average of ten men from each company, battery and troop were selected — half of them first lieuten- ants and half second lieutenants. Needless to say, these men were the envy of their comrades. The day follow^ing the announcement of commissions, a grand review was held on the large parade ground opposite the permanent barracks. Present in the reviewing stand were Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, Gov. Wood- bridge N. Ferris of Michigan, Gov. E. M. Philipp of Wisconsin, Maj. Gen. Thomas H. Barry and Col. William J. Nicholson. The troops, in command of Col. James A. Ryan, formed at 2:15 P. M. in line of masses opposite the reviewing stand; the I 1th Regiment, Maj. James S. Parker commanding, on the right; the I 0th Regiment, Maj. R. B. Parrott commanding, on the left. The mass of 4,000 candidates presented a thrilling spectacle to those in the stand and the hundreds of visitors. Addresses were made by each of the Governors and General Barry. Following the speeches, the men were called to attention and swung proudly and happily in review, in column of platoons, past the admiring group of distinguished guests. Prospect of scattered training companies within less than a week's time, after w^hich many of the men w^ould never see each other again, prompted THE FIRST OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 237 practically every organization to indulge in a "Farewell Banquet," where happy and humorous experiences of the three months might be reviewed, and due honor paid to instructors who had so successfully piloted their ships through the seething sea of struggling candidates. Dining rooms in neighbor- ing clubs and hotels were chartered for the purpose, and the fun, speeches and stunts which took place made these farewell celebrations occasions of the happiest sort. The turning in of all possible equipment commenced on Saturday, August I 1th. Then, too, those who had been holding back for fear of not meeting with success, began to busy themselves in an attempt to secure officers' uni- forms and equipment of every sort. Others, who had taken a chance in ordering clothes, had their final fittings. No w^eek-end passes w^ere allow^ed the last Sunday in camp. The men were held, awaiting new developments or instructions from Washington. Monday and Tuesday, August I 3th and 1 4th, were occupied with lectures and the turning in of more equipment. Definite w^ord also arrived stating that men w^ho were to be assigned to the National Army would be allowed two w^eeks' "leave," reporting to their various stations Camps Custer or Grant on August 29th. Men who w^ere to go overseas must make ready at once and sail w^ithin a very few^ days. August 15, 1917, found in the United States of America a new type of man. Of these, there w^ere 30,000. Three months before, they had volun- teered for training, many of them civilians, unschooled in the art of war. They had felt the call, made the decision, w^on on the first lap of the race. The camps had filled them w^ith a spirit of patriotism not felt before. The training had given them a greater confidence. Some few hundred sailed for impor- tant service abroad. The greater portion, held temporarily in sixteen canton- ments throughout the United States, undertook the training of and brought into being the finest type of soldier that America or Europe has ever seen. Where duty bid them go, the "first 30,000" went. And not least among them, striving ever to accomplish their w^ork with thoroughness, loyalty and patriotism, were members of that memorable group who trained on the shores of Lake Michigan from May to August, 1917, at that camp, the record of which as an officers' training center in the United States has been unsurpassed — Fort Sheridan.

RYAN, Colonel Cavalry, Commanding. Headquarters Second Training Camp, Fort Sheridan, Illinois, August 23, 1917. TO THE CANDIDATES OF THE SECOND TRAINING CAMP: You have been selected from some twenty thousand applicants because your qualifications indicate that you can become efficient officers in the armies of the United States. The success of the First Training Camp was due to the spirit that moved its members to apply themselves from the start to the work in hand. You will have with you as instructors officers of the Regular Army and officers w^ho have just completed their course of training in the First Training Camps. Their w^hole object w^ill be to give you the best instruction, practical and theoretical, that is possible within the three months' time allotted. The success of their work will depend on your hearty co-operation, which means close attention to study and drill and strict compliance with all the regulations of the camp. Most of the candidates who come here have already achieved success in civil life — success in military life is achieved by the same means, namely, w^ork and study. You know^ the methods, and the very fact that you have come here shows your intention to apply them. The two qualities in men which brought about the greatest returns in the last encampment were patience and team-work. Patience enables us to examine with care the requirements of any problem, and team-w^ork brings the united efforts of all who achieve success. Cheerfulness, good humor, and the habit of looking at the bright side of things will be of great assistance. The man who can retain his cheerfulness under the most trying circumstances is the man who wins in the end. Remember, you are in a way going back to school, and the comradeship which you will find among your fellow candidates in the various companies w^ill be an incentive to effort. The friendships you will form here w^ill be lasting, and one of the greatest results that will come under your observation will be the many good qualities you will discover among your comrades during these three months which you little suspected when you first met them. Remember, this is the world's greatest problem, and everything you do each day here contributes to the final results as much as if you were in the trenches in Flanders. J. A. RYAN, Colonel of Cavalry. T HEY WERE OFF! For several months they had been waiting in cities and towns back home. The cantonments were being constructed. Some of the regulars had gone across. The National Guard, mobilized for months on the border, was prepared to embark. The First Officers' Training Camp was completed. The new^ly-commissioned officers had already been assigned to Camp Grant or Camp Custer, while hundreds, w^ho had not received commissions, had enlisted at the recruiting stations, determined to see service at all costs. Twenty thousand men had applied for the Second Reserve Officers' Training Camp at Fort Sheridan. Four thousand had been chosen. The examining boards which went through the cities and towns of Illinois, Michi- gan, Wisconsin, Kansas, Colorado and Missouri, w^ere instructed to select men on the basis of merit only. They were to choose men who were physically fit, men of experience who had already w^on places of responsibility in civil life. They found men anxious, ready, competing for places, proud to be chosen and prepared to go through. Early on the morning of August 23rd, the new "Rookies" appeared at Fort Sheridan. Some came the night before to avoid the rush. But the majority streamed in that August morning and filled up the long rows that began in the gymnasium and stretched out through the door around the corner and up the street. There w^ere all kinds of men in that line. Grandfathers, several of them, trying to look like college graduates, and pulling their age records across the dead line without batting an eye. Congressmen, bankers and brokers, business leaders, professional leaders, deans of universities, clergymen, mechanics, golf champions and hurdle champions, actors, play- wrights, musical critics, farmers, ranchers, miners, students. Look at them. They are coming up in long lines like children on the first day of school. Look at them — clothes do make some difference in a man. But in a day the natty hat band, the silk shirt, the carefully pressed suit will disappear. In their place, the old service hat, the second-grade khaki shirt, the service uniform, canvas putts and broad-toed shoes. You will not recognize them again until you get up close and peer beneath the broad brim. Then you smile the first time. They were the same but so different. You may never see them again in the distinguishing clothes of the civilian, for many a man who went up the line that August morning, laid down for his final sleep in the Somme or in the Argonne, dressed in the khaki which he donned for the first time at Fort Sheridan. After they had registered and made selection of the branch of seivice they wished to enter they went to their new quarters. The men from Kansas, Colorado, Missouri — newcomers to Fort Sheridan and, in a sense, guests of Illinois, were given the Brick Barracks. So were the majority of the men from Michigan and Wisconsin, as in the First Camp. THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 331 Three companies and two batteries from Michigan, Wisconsin and two batteries and the companies from lUinois occupied the wooden barracks south of the gully. After leaving the gymnasium that August morning the new rookie went to the company to which he was assigned. Provisions had been made for his coming. Equipment was ready. Consequently there was not the long period of waiting where men only half-equipped march with their company for weeks. Early in the afternoon of the first day the commandant looked out on the parade grounds. He saw company after company marching by — the officers of the companies competing with each other to see who could get their men to work first and who could make the best showing. No one will pretend the marching was perfect. There were some sad efforts to maintain the pace — there were some wornout rookies before night — but they got to it fast, and when they went to mess at 6 P. M., — Oh, Boy! That first mess — it was interesting. Long wooden tables — and long benches — men closely packed. Cooks and waiters who had been through three months' grind, unaffected by "Who is who." Just "cooking the chow" and putting it before the crowd. Some courtesy and politeness that first mess. Just getting acquainted, trying to get a right start with the men of the squad. Looking things over casually then passing them to the next fellow, thinking that they would return as they did back home, but they had a way of not returning, and "there wasn't any more" — so the waiter said. That was an army lesson they didn't forget. Then came the second mess after the hike of that first afternoon and home rules were off. Men did not scan the dishes placed before them — they reached and ate and then reached again. The coffee wasn't just like the Blackstone, but it was warm and it went to the spot and after they had eaten everything placed in front of them they went to the canteen and bought some more. To show just how rules of army etiquette are formed we believe the prize should go to the man who gave the following bits of advice to his comrades on "How^ to become popular in the Mess Hall.' 1. As soon as the signal is given to "take seats" get your feet under the table as quickly as possible. Never do it the same way twice, though. In this way you keep the fellows on both sides of you in doubt and generally result in your getting first stab at the meat. 2. Grab the coffee pitcher with one hand and the bread plate with the other and never let go of either until you've laid in your supply. 3. If there are only three pieces of anything left on a plate when it gets to you, take two. The plate may not come back again and the chances are that the other fellows didn't want any anyway. 4. When biscuits are passed, don't forget your party tricks, for you may grow hungry later and uniforms have pockets. 5. Try to sip your soup as noisily as possible. It helps to drown the noise of dishes. 332 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATIOX INSTRUCTORS, SECOND CAMP Front Row (left to right) Capt. J. D. Rivet, Maj. W. R. Nelleger, Capt. G. C. Thrall, Capt. R. S.

Think of some pleasant subject to discuss with your neighbors, such as religion or the death of some dear friend. 7. Splash as much syrup as possible on the handle of the syrup holder. The other men will thank you for this, as it will prevent them from letting it slip through their hands. 8. Always pull a big laugh when your mouth is full of crackers. Crack- ers in one's face is far more preferable than dust. 9. Don't forget to point out all the mistakes made by the other boys during the day. It does much to elevate the opinion of your hearers on your own knowledge. 10. If a fly lands in your meat be sure and call the attention of every one to it. It isn't everyone can land a fly. 1 1. Use your knife freely. Sw^ord swallowers are scarce these days, and besides the knives are not sharp. I 2. In leaving the mess hall slap as many fellows as possible on the back. It's a real "fratty " stunt, and helps those slapped to digest their meal. Few days in the service were more interesting than those early days at Fort Sheridan. At first there were tired legs and weary arches, but that was not all. Then came weary brains. Men accustomed to large affairs, and to THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 333 broad experiences were suddenly called upon to start in and master the A. B. C. of military tactics the school of the soldier, the school of the squad, the school of the company, or, in other words, the I. D. R. Candidate , the executive head of one of the great industries of the country, sat on the side of his bunk at the close of one of these early days. He w^as not physically tired. He was too well-trained for that — but he w^as evidently all in. What had happened? Well, the A. B. C.'s of military training was too much for the mind that knew how to handle big affairs with- out strain. No one w^ill know how^ conscientiously these men tried to memorize every word, every detail of those infantry regulations, repeating them by day and by night — perfecting each page as though life itself depended upon it. They made their brains sw^eat. They opened up the old avenues of memory. Their w^ills forced the old brain to go back and to master the methods of youth. They learned what they should have learned as boys as a part of their citizen- ship, the ability not merely to protect themselves but to protect their country as leaders. No man of forty who went through those early days will ever forget how impossible it seemed to ever master the essentials of military training upon INSTRUCTORS.

No men ever worked harder than they did then. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", and it does the same thing with the rookie. Colonel Ryan watched the men work, read the reports, inspected the companies and was pleased. Could they keep up the pace? If they could this would be the most military training camp in the country. They must play as well as work, he said, and they must learn lessons of proper training and caring for their men at Fort Sheridan which they could apply elsew^here. Music, for instance, was a relief at the close of the day. So the Director of Morale w^as instructed to provide a piano for every com- pany. Some hard-boiled old timers smiled the next day when a fleet of trucks came out from Chicago loaded w^ith pianos. The movers smiled too w^hen they unloaded a piano into the company barracks — but when the men came marching in on a cold afternoon and some man who knew how went in and tickled the keys, you could hear the old wooden barracks harmonize from one end to another — and everybody smiled — caught the spirit and w^ent to THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 335 mess a little more cheerful and to study at night with great zest because of it. Of course there were some rotten musicians, some terrible discord, some real makers of agony, that prepared everybody for the worst, but it was a lot better than gossip and grouches, or even silence and snores, and more and more the piano became an important piece of furniture in the Camp. Speed, energy, enthusiasm marked the first w^eek's work. Colonel James A. Ryan, by his careful plans, his complete grasp of details and his considerate spirit, taught these men a wonderful lesson on the very first day and by the end of a week, they knew that they had a real leader — competent, courteous, strict in discipline, but considerate, thoughtful, and always holding in mind the purpose of giving his men the best training possible. At the close of the first week the Commanding Officer spoke to the men in the Y. M. C. A. building. His speech was a prophecy of what the Camp became in time. He said: INSTRUCTORS, SECOND CAMP Front Row (left to right) Capt. C. B. Garland, Capt. Geo. T. Wilhelm. Capt. L. E. Megowen, Capt. J. A. Lester, Maj. C. E. Lucas. Back Row (left to right) Capt. M. F.

LAWRENCE MARTIN Assistant Senior Instructor THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 337 CAPTAIN O. R. MEREDITH Assistant Adjutant, Second R. O. T. C. MAJOR W. P. MOFFETT Mess Officer, Second R. O. T. C. I want vim in everything. I want this camp to be the most military in the United States. Smile; be courteous; be patient. You have come here to perform a task. Your officers will carry out their part and by the progress w^hich w^as made yesterday, and today, I am inspired by the hope that you will carry out your part. You men have come here because you have made a decision be- tw^een right and wrong. There are only two things in this world — right and w^rong. God has given you a conscience vs^hich is His voice speaking within you. When anything in your daily lives come up there is a broad line of demarcation between the right and the wrong and in your de- cisions never w^aver, but manfully speak out for the right. That habit of decision is one of the most important things in military life. Upon your decisions may depend men s lives. You must accustom yourselves to decisions. You will find in this Camp a great many things to which you are not accustomed. The attitude you take toward them w^ill determine your success or failure. 338 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION THE HOUSE IN ORDER Look at the humorous side of things. Don't forget that humor is the saving thing of Hfe. When you men are worn out by a hard day in the trenches or on the march remember that there's always a bright side to everything. Train yourselves to the habit of precision even in the smallest things. Be slow^ to decide about the characters of the men about you. In time you will discover qualities in your companions that you never suspected before. Look upon your officer as your big brother. Bear toward him the brotherly love that he w^ill bear toward you. I w^ant my officers to give careful consideration to all questions and to give appro- priate replies. It is a serious question to decide in three months w^ho shall be officers. Don't forget that the officers who command you will do justice not only to you but to the United States Government. This country w^ants ability in leaders. It wants men w^ho w^ill win. I want my officers to allow no outside influence to affect their de- cisions. I want nothing to control but the qualities they observe in you from day to day. That's what we want, that's what they w^ant and that's what you w^ant. Methods of w^arfare are changing every day. I have to study just as you are studying. We are going to give you the most advanced course possible in three months' time. You are going to live, eat and sleep in the trenches for forty-eight hours at a time. There may even be gas attacks. In short, w^e are going to give you as nearly as possible those things which will make up your experience on the other side. Remember that in military life, as in civil life, there is one thing that smooths out all rough places the oil of courtesy. Use it in every- thing. Remember that to all propositions that you approach there are always two handles rough and smooth. Use the smooth every time. Be patient. Don't be selfish, but work for the success of your squad, your platoon and your company. Approach all your tasks with a smile. THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 339 On Saturday the men were given their first leave. It came as a great relief to many. Tired bodies and tired brains tempted men to sleep for twenty-four hours in some quiet place. Many went to their homes — some to the city for a change; but tucked away in some corner, or down by the lake you could see man after man trying to make up during the brief respite for his slow^ness in grasping what had been taught through the w^eek. In many a secluded spot on that first day of leave, some hard-pressed rookie drilled and studied, hoping by this added effort to maintain his place in the ranks until his body and brain would respond to the gruelling test. Many months after the war a former rookie who had a son in the service, confessed that he had not only used his days of leave but had also used the brief hour of rest between 4:30 and 5 :30 to catch up. Down in the gully con- cealed by bushes he had employed an old army sergeant to tutor him and to put him right. This spirit was invaluable. Upon their return for the second w^eek the rookie found the official schedule posted on the Company Bulletin Board. We reprint it. Those w^ho helped to carry it through w^ill remember how^ some of it felt and how^ much it eventually helped. OFFICIAL SCHEDULE FOR SECOND WEEK.

The Second Camp had not progressed far before the majority of those who were left were assigned elsewhere and only a small number remained to act as majors of battalions and as staff officers. Too much cannot be said for the Regular Army officers who were at Fort Sheridan. They disproved from the start the common idea that the officers of the United States Army in times of peace had lived an inactive life. These men had been kept in the finest training. Many of them, after years of education and experience, had come to Fort Sheridan at the First Camp ranking as first lieutenants and captains, yet they had built a physical NEEDLES AND THREAD AFTER THIS EXERCISE THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 345 and technical founda- tion upon which they were able to extend their qualities for leadership, so that within a year they w^ere acting on some of the most respon- sible positions in the A. E. F. Years of inten- sive training and study, the discipline to keep themselves fit for such a time as this, as vvell as their simple, direct, considerate, confident manner, all conspired to make them ideal training leaders for such a Camp. The men w^ere quick to perceive in them qualities of real leadership and an un- usual loyalty devel- o p e d between the Regular Army officers who show^ed any dis- tinguishing characteristics and the men who were to be the leaders of the new National Army. This loyalty and admiration continues even after the details are forgotten — and the officers of the Regular Army will always have some better friends in civil life, because of the associations of those earlier days. Every Fort Sheridan man, no matter how large his experience in business or professional life may have been, realized that there is something in the kind of intensive military training, the knowledge of practical details, the ease and simplicity of commanding leadership which cannot be imitated nor can it be learned with rapidity. As a foundation for any future policy of adequate defense, they realize that there must be maintained a large and capable group of such highly trained military leaders. ^ As the Regular Army officers departed, the Reserve officers who had been selected in the First Camp at Fort Sheridan and Fort Reilly took their places. Most of these new officers had some previous military training before THE BROOM AND BUCKET BRIGADE 346 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION coming to the First Camp. They had shown to their instructors their ability along these lines and were selected on this basis. A great deal of credit belongs to the instructors of companies in the Second Camp, every one of whom was a Reserve officer. It w^as a difficult problem they faced. In addition to the responsibility of giving correct military instruction and of keeping up with the constantly changing methods of war- fare, these men had in their companies older, more experienced men w^ho were leaders in every w^alk of life, and younger men who had had little training and some who were not qualified for leadership. These must be continually inspired and their true values estimated with fairness. It w^as some job. They did it, and did it well. It was one of the fine accomplishments of these early days. Sure — there were some who were not satisfied — others who felt that their personal abilities were not properly recognized, but the rank and file recognized the splendid services given and much of the loyalty so evident between officers and men in the First Camp was transferred to the more inti- mate relationships of the Second. There were several noticeable changes in the Second Camp. One was the weather. July and August, w^ith their bright sun, their hot days, their warm nights, had departed. September tried to be kind, but it couldn't. Whew! B-r-r-r! The old wind began to blow off the lake. The early cold of Northern Wisconsin came hustling across the w^aves. Some of the candidates who had been enjoying a brief leave came back the third Sunday afternoon looking like "Washington's forces at Valley Forge." Big sheet-iron stoves went up in the wooden barracks and every one joined the "Hot stove brigade." Lumber v/as brought hurriedly to the rescue to line the walls of the wooden barracks and to reinforce the floors. The old sun came back in a few days — smiled deceptively as much as to say, "I was just playing with you. " But he didn't fool the rookies again. They were ready next time and although there were some cold, wet days before December 1st, they were all set. On Sunday evenings, the men came back from leave at 4 P. M. Colonel Ryan arranged for get-together meetings in the gymnasium. The opening address w^as made by Major-General William H. Carter, Commander of the Central Department. A crowded house greeted General Carter. With soldier-like simplicity he seemed to speak directly to each individual man. He said: I urge every one of you to maintain the standard of ethics laid dow^n by General Washington. Conduct yourselves in a way that will be a source of pride to your- selves, your family, your friends and your country. Some of you, when you become officers, w^ill feel that you are not appreciated. I warn you against that feeling. The only object of your living should be to give the best that is in you. Opportunity plays a great part. Some may be observed to perform achievements w^hile others may be ignored for a time, but, remember, if you continue to perform the task before you that fact will not go unheeded. THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 347 I. F. CONNEROY. COLONEL RYAN, ROGER SULLIVAN. J. J. CORBETT Common sense is the chief element involved in leadership besides courage. Remember, the boys of the National Army are as full of energy and spirit as you are, and you must make allowance for shortcomings due to exuberance. In the old days of Greece it was the custom to bring to Athens for the great games only those of the provinces who w^ere supreme in prowess. The final event in the contests was the torch bearers' race, where the leading athletes were placed in line and each given a torch. It was not the runner who merely crossed the line first that was victorious, but the man who led the van of those who kept their torches alight. Those old Greeks through this contest desired to instill into the minds of their strong men the fact that they must keep aglow the fire of their patriotism that the liberties of Greece might be preserved. Do you see to it, too, that you keep aglow the torch of liberty and that you reach the goal with something still left in you. From Sunday to Monday seemed like a step from the Sublime to the Ridiculous. They had listened to the Commander of the Central Department urging them "to keep aglow the torch of liberty." What was this they hear on Monday? — "Grab up your pick and shovel and dig trenches." Out there on the parade grounds there were some trenches already. They represented blisters, sore backs and callouses developed in the First Camp, but they were only a beginning. With one-half the number of men, 348 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION »^^ MAJOR OSCAR SOLBERT 350 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION PROTECTION AGAINST TIN CAN GRENADES there was to be four times the digging. The gully was to be crossed. The trenches w^ere to extend out into the w^oods and w^hen completed w^ere to include the entire category of field fortifications, dugouts, latrines, machine- gun placements, observation points, first aid stations and ambulance depots. The system was to be large enough to accommodate an entire regiment of infantry. In the digging of trenches there had to be developed a technique not to be found in military work before this war. It v^as fortunate that at this time there came to Fort Sheridan a man who won a big place in the hearts of all the men and who w^as greatly admired both for his spirit and ability. This man was Captain Georges Etienne Bertrand of the Sixth Battalion, Alpine Chasseurs. He had taken part in the great battles of the war. He had been wounded four times and had received the Cross of the Legion of Honor. His arrival brought a new air of reality as well as a more technically perfect plan of operation. Early on Monday morning the companies marched out to the job, armed with picks and shovels — each company assigned to a specific job. The earth began to fly — trees were cut down, old trenches were drained. The rain came down to complicate the job. Wherever men could get high rubber boots it helped, but sometimes you would see a man almost up to his waist in mud going to it, as though his life depended on it. At night the Illinois regiment that had been working through the day slept in the trenches. Somewhere off there in the woods Michigan and Wis- consin men had been making ready to act. Diplomacy had failed. Since the Michigan-Wisconsin men had lived in style over in the brick barracks, a fight THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 351 WITH YOUR FOOT IN ANOTHER GUY'S EAR was inevitable. Michigan-Wisconsin had a practically easy day, except for the rain. No tired backs — no blistered hands — no poorly drained ditches to stand in. They were w^aiting for darkness to make their attack. Illinois was waiting to meet them. The trenches on the Somme — the dugouts so vividly pictured by Bairns- father — had their duplicate that night at Fort Sheridan. As ditch diggers, some of the rookies were better comedians than plumbers. For in their zeal to dig faster than the next company, some forgot that water ran down hill. If you w^ere there, you w^ill remember the first night in the trenches at Fort Sheridan. It had all the horrors except bursting shells. The bottom of the trenches soon became sluiceways of mud. The rain, cold and clinging, came down in floods. Patrols climbing over the top could neither be seen nor heard a few feet distant. Guards stood looking over the parapets and wondering when morning would come. Who could describe the dugouts on that first rainy night? There was one in w^hich the company had taken particular pride during the day. A group of men afterwards notable in the service helped to build it and they were proud. They only forgot one thing that was important — water runs down hill. In the early evening it was fine. A happy group — at the end of a hard day, whispered their experiences, imitating real warfare. They had built a dirt seat for comfort around the dugout, and a cozy sheet-iron stove in the center. Then the rain began to operate. Down the trenches it came until it 352 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION found the welcome trench that led to the dugout and then it just kept on running. Higher and higher it rose, while the men looked at each other in despair. They were men who were generally resourceful, but they never had faced a situation like this. So, like Noah, they tried standing on the seats and hanging their coats and guns on improvised racks, but at last they gave it up as a bad job and with cold, wet feet and clothing soaked, they went out into the night to take their chances with weather and water straight. Oh, that night! During the night sharp encounters took place and the student officers were given every opportunity to develop proficiency in patrol and interior guard duty. When the battle was over and the sun came out in the morning, the Illinois regiment had taken nine prisoners and the Michigan-Wisconsin regiment three. Day after day through that week, day work and night watching was repeated, until every man had been at both several times and until five miles of completed trenches with bridges and barb-wire entanglements stretched across drill grounds and woods beyond. A former attorney from the Michigan Telephone Company had labored long and earnestly with his squad in the con- struction of a "dugout" and, though tired and muddy, was taking comfort in the thought that his job was nearly completed. The captain came along and, after look- ing things over, smiled pleasantly. The rookie law^yer misunderstood the smile of approval and said, "Pretty good job, sir." "Yes," said the officer, "as far as it goes. When you get that finished you can start on your communi- cating trenches." The rooky's face rapidly registered in- credulity then the shock of surprise then disgust and, as the cap- tain walked away, he WATER? remarked, "What's the THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 353 use of digging six feet of trench six feet deep, just for communications, when a telephone wire would give quicker and better service and be a darn sight easier to rig up?" Another younger man who had never dug very hard at anything before and whose idea of training to be an officer had been gained largely from colored posters, was heard to remark, "What's the use of my learning to do this? I could get a Dago to do this better than I could for a few dollars a day and it will cost me more than that to get fixed up after this mess." But for the majority of the men it was the first real entrance into the hardships of war. Many had been engaged at home in sedentary occupations and the terrific change had been a real test and the way the men stood up to it was a foretaste of the way thousands of them stood up to the eventual gruelling test in the front lines of the Argonne. There were a lot of things that came out of the trenches besides mud and weary men at the close of that week. One was poetry. Listen to this: of the Fifteenth Company, 2nd Regiment: "Who is this guy whose last name is Day, _ And where in h 1 did he come from? He's big and strong and tall, they say, And wears a considerable 'tum-tum. He is the feller who walks along the top. While we're digging below in the mud. And shouts out his orders with not a stop. In tones that fair thrills your blood. It may be, at heart, he's a regular guy. But he'll have to prove it to us, 'Cause since he's been running along there in high, He's done nothing but make us all cuss. An event of unusual interest after the work in the trenches was the arrival of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. The famous Roosevelt smile illuminated his face as he greeted the representatives of the Camp at the station. He was escorted through the Camp and then inspected the trenches. He exhibited a great interest in every detail of construction and asked many questions of the officers who conducted him. Standing on the brink of the gully and looking over toward the lake, he gave utterance to one of his explosive thoughts: "What we need," he said, "is a hydraulic engineer at work in Northern France. How easy it would be to take the water from the coast and transfer it over to the German trenches and force them out by hydraulic pressure.' Some who had seen water at work during the previous week realized that there was something more than humor in his suggestion. After a thorough inspection, he was escorted to the parade ground, where a large reviewing stand had been erected. The band began playing, the candidate officers passed in review. At the conclusion the men advanced in mass formation and stood at attention while he addressed them. THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 357 He stood there that day the living embodiment of American valor. A real fighting man, still affected by the refusal of the War Department to let him go to France with a fighting division, he referred to this early in his remarks when he said: For us, this opportunity is denied ; the supreme privilege is yours. It is our duty to back up at home the fighting men at the front in every way we can. It is our duty to keep the spirit alive and burning and vic- tory v/ill come speedily, and. Lord, men, how 1 wish I were going w^ith you ! Every man feels that the war should go on and once for all remove the menace of Prussianism and the iron and bloody rule of the Hohen- zollerns forever. Yours is the honor of going. You will not have to explain to your children why you did not go to war. This is the great chance. Be equal to it. You are the flower of our country chosen for this great task. It is a great opportunity and a great responsibility. The British and French are fighting our battles and we are their debtors. Your duty is to go forth as missionaries, and when you have awakened this country from its lazy, opulent slumber, see that you keep it awake forever. See that we are never again put in the position we are now, of vast, lazy strength unmobilized. The men of France and England are protecting us with their bodies. Let us, here, in the first place make America safe. We owe a big debt to the Allies in this war, and I say again, be missionaries, so that never again shall we be so help- less to defend our honor. Never again should we owe our safety to the blood of others. The one step for our protection is universal obligatory military training for all our young men. MARTIN DELANEY COACHING RIGHT AND LEFT JABS 358 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION EVERY ONE GOT A PUNCH It is significant that vv^ith the coming of Roosevelt there should also come the period of "boxing. " The introduction of mass boxing at Fort Sheridan for the first time in any large way in any American Army camp paved the way for its larger use throughout the whole army. After a conference between Colonel Ryan, Major Bach and others, the Commanding Officer purchased two hundred sets of gloves, secured the serv- ices of Martin Delaney, Athletic Director of the Chicago Athletic Club, and gave orders that for three weeks every company in the Camp was to report daily for boxing practice. It looked mild. It seemed like a soft game, the first morning the com- panies marched out and surrounded the reviewing stand. Some smiled and anticipated a restful lark. Then a man stood on the stand and began to walk around, leaning over the protecting rail. He talked and gesticulated in in such a way that the men knew he was there for business. Then four boys from the Great Lakes Training Station took their places on the stand — pro- fessionals who knew the game, both of them. They went through some simple maneuvers — then there was a rush of gloves. The stand was surrounded on four sides by men who looked like boxers. They were paired off. These were made to follow the simple movements of the boxers. Oh, my! — who doesn't remember what happened? Delaney let the rookies take the lid off and every man seemed to think that he was fighting in France. Did they go after each other. We'll say they did. Black eyes, broken noses and THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 359 cracked ribs. Husky six-footers from first squads, unfamiliar with boxing, taking their medicine from light little fellows from the last squad. All in a good spirit, developing faster footw^ork, quickness of eye and the habit of personal encounter. For three weeks this continued, each man in the Camp having fifteen minutes a day practice in the field and additional time as they w^ere able in the barracks. At the close of the course the improvement was marked, and many of the men handled themselves like veterans. Fort Sheridan men of the Second Camp will not forget Martin Delaney w^ith his w^holesome smile, his w^inning style and his w^alloping punch, and the army as a whole w^as the gainer by the successful course w^hich was early introduced in the training system. Numerous speakers came to Fort Sheridan, each bringing a message of interest. Samuel Insull spoke of the qualities necessary for leadership. Ser- geant William Dugan, formerly of the Foreign Legion, and at the time a member of the La Fayette Escadrille, told of his experiences as an American boy in the famous French flying unit. T. P. O'Connor and others spoke from time to time. The daily routine of w^ork, taking in every hour of the day, increased in intensity as the man became hardened to it. Physical and bayonet drills, pistol and rifle practice, conference and studies, follow^ed each other with ceaseless regularity. The companies were becoming more proficient in drill. They were developing that pride and esprit de corps w^hich makes competition between the groups helpful and progressive. The men were becoming better neigh- bors. Real friendships and interesting acquaintances w^hich w^ould outlast the war w^ere being formed. A report from one of the companies when the Camp w^as a month old w^as typical of the Camp as a whole. It is reproduced exactly as it appeared in "The Reveille, " because it show^s how many different kinds of men went to make up a company: From clergyman to bookkeeper in a shooting gallery are over 70 occupations stringing out in either column or line formation. Men w^ho never performed harder labor than winding a Victrola are in the same squad with instructors of athletics. One civilian is attached to the com- pany, William J. Ryan, clerk, and his ambition is to take on enough weight to fill an O. D. blouse. Charles E. Davanon is top sergeant and is the real goods. He doesn t give a continental care whether Cleopatra was a real nice lady or not; he is interested only in the strict discipline of his company. George O. Beebe is the only Regular Army man on our roster. Five in the company are enlisted men in the National Guard. They are: Leslie F. Eggert, Homer A. Goddard, Raymond O. Staten, Noble W. White and Stephen C. Williams. Thomas E. Hefferan, until a few weeks before the opening of this Camp, was a member of the American Ambulance Service in France. Alfred D. Allen is the manager of the Leland Hotel of Springfield, 111., the rendezvous of politicians. 360 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION The following are practicing attorneys: Otto A. Arnston, Milo O.

Landborg is in the shoe business, but cannot buy shoes as cheap as the quartermaster at the Camp sells them. How^ard J. Liston is an electrical engineer by profession and a soldier by preference. Many of the streets w^e travel over are easy to manicure because James S. McCann induced the municipal authorities to use brick as a pavement. Richard S. McConnell and John P. Tansey, members of the Iroquois Club, prefer politics to golf as a pastime. William McCredie put in nearly a w^eek digging trenches and showed fewer blisters than any man in the squad. Do you recall the candidate who threw clay in cadence, had a handkerchief tied across his forehead, and unconsciously impersonated one of the trio representing "the Spirit of '76"? His name was Charles E. Owrens. George R. Becker is a professional singer, whose voice has as much charm in congenial company as his rifle aim has terror for the enemy. Arthur A. Gelatt is an expert on advertising, and the Panhandle railroad lost a good yardmaster w^hen Patrick J. Sw^eeney offered his services to Uncle Sam. Victor O.

Rice belongs to one of the best squads in the company and he helped make it so. John R. Boston understands construction w^ork to the last letter, w^hile Curtis H. Brainard has spent his years of study in metallurgy. Nathan G. Nelson is an accountant for the Western Union. Charles E. Turner was the sergeant in charge of equipment during the first week of Camp, and his genial manners made many a candidate feel more at home than w^ould be possible to w^ere a less pleasant or capable man in charge. Michael Callahan dispatches trains, Orville Bunnell advertises good show^s, William F. Conner is the able secretary of the Commercial Club of his town, and Willis E. Dick makes farming a pleasure. Truman O. Pooler is a gardener, Allan C. Wilson is an engineering expert, and Edwin Zeleny conserves electrical energy for elevated railroads. THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 363 Nelson P. Parkinson and Murray C. Wilson are a team of good fellows that contribute much to the feeling of good fellowship that per- meates the company barracks. A company like this could not be without insurance men. Like the devil, they are alw^ays with us: Charles P. Shaw, Frank D. Henry, Harold J. Payette and Richard M. Lewis look after the fire risks; Robert Johnson specilizes in life. The worst, however, is yet to come. We have newspaper men here and they are in the open; no camouflage in the make-up. Norman W. Gregg is an editor, Donald G. Heinly is with a trade journal. In the summer the activities of the Camp were interspersed by the coming and going of friends. Many of the men's families came from distances to stay in surrounding towns. Every evening at five the company streets would be filled with sight-seers and from five to seven-thirty there was a constant coming and going of mothers, wives and others; and on Sunday nights the roads would be crow^ded with cars bringing the men back before taps sounded. Much of this disappeared at the Second Camp. The w^eather was raw and cold. Great numbers of the men came from long distances. Sixty per cent were married men with families. Much of the social life so prominent in the First Camp was absent. But not the good times, which will always be mingled in the minds of the officer students with the intensive training and hard work. There was the Charity Ball, the proceeds of which went to army relief. The gymnasium wouldn't hold the great crowds that came. It was the first military ball for most of the men and one that will linger a long time in the memory of all there. There was the trip to the World Series in Chicago. Just as soon as it was evident that the White Sox would win the American League champion- ship, a wire went from Fort Sheridan to the National Baseball Commission requesting that 2,500 tickets be set aside for the men w^ho were in training. Soon an answer came back that 1,500 had been reserved. These 1,500 w^ere divided between the thirty companies. And each company drew to see what men should go. The result was that there were 1,500 successful contestants. Leave w^as given for the day. Special cars conveyed the men to the grounds. Colonel Ryan and Staff attending. Long before the game began they were all seated in the right field balcony and the game was on. For many it was the first World Series game. It was a good one, well played, and resulted in a win for the West and the White Sox. To some unfamiliar with the work that was done and had to be done daily, these occasional excursions seemed to be somewhat outside the prepara- tions for w^ar — but to those who had in mind well-rounded, good-spirited, physically-fit leaders for the National Army, they all played their part. There was always a deep earnestness about the work done and the plans and thoughts for the future, but an entire absence of drab and pessimistic or unnatural attitude toward life. It was the studied effort of those who were responsible for the morale of the Camp to see that there was a proper balanc- ing of w^ork and recreation, so that the best results of the work might be alw^ays kept to the front. 364 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION In this connection nothing was more interesting to the former civilian than the part that "Rumors" play in army life. The newcomer in the army is quickly shut off from the matters which interested him before. Sometimes he will go for weeks without reading papers carefully and what he reads is of little interest. His mind narrows down to the confines of the Camp, the doings in the company, and to insignificant matters that he would have smiled at weeks before. Corporal H meets Private A while they are shaving in the w^ashroom. "The Colonel called the Captain to Headquarters," says the Corporal. "What's doing?" says the Private. "I hear they are only going to commission 20 per cent of the men from each company," says the Corporal. Then the rumor gets busy, runs up and down the barracks, across the company street, and finally gets down to headquarters a huge-sized tornado, with Corporal H and Private A oblivous of the storm. Then the Commanding Officer nails that one. Private X, in a fit of anger because some one sat on his bunk, messed it up and brought him a reprimand, swears in German, forgetting for the time being how hard he has tried to keep the fact that his ancestors were Germans in the background. That was enough. Private Y starts "old rumor" a-going that there are German spies in the companies. Some one sees a man who looks like Private X being taken away from the guardhouse to Chicago by; the military police. Another finds that there is a small amount of dynamite laid away in the Arsenal and "Rumor" is off again with a "wholesale con- spiracy of German spies to blow up the Camp, and a wonderful capture by the army intelligence department." Here is a series of conflicting rumors from one mess hall on the subject of commissions and the time the Camp would close — a favorite subject of conversation and the parent of prolific rumors: (a) That the Camp will be over November 7th. (b) That the Camp will be over October 2 7th. (c) That the Camp will be over November 2 7th. (d) That those commissioned will receive six week's more training at Fort Sheridan. (e) That very few will be commissioned. (f) That most of the candidates will be commissioned. (g) That those commissioned will be rushed to France. (h) That practically none of those commissioned will get to France in less than six months. (i) And other reports. Some less serious and more interesting are starting all the time. Men are sitting on the edges of their bunks with staring eyes, listening to each new report. It is the life — and twice welcome the man who can bring some word from overhead that will give them a chance to build a new one. Who cares or remembers that nine out of ten are without sense and never come true? They gave a sensation greater than a murder, a cyclone or a mighty victory in France, because they ran right into the place where the men lived. X THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 365 No one will ever know, unless they were in it, how quickly and utterly the men who were in training were cut off from the civil life with which they had lately been so familiar. Just to show what the Second Fort Sheridan Camp could do m the way of selling bonds. Colonel Ryan called together representatives from each regiment with the following result: The First Regiment sold $1,108,100, the Second $526,250, and the Third $3,02 7,700, making a total sale of $4,700,000 for the Camp, or three times as much as any army camp or can- tonment in America.

GOVERNOR LOWDEN OF ILLINOIS ADDRESSING THE MEN /--:^Ay >?t;^ WAG H-^^tPflili^lfl THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 371 A welcome visitor to both Fort Sheridan Camps was Frank O. Lowden, war Governor of IIHnois. His words were alw^ays Ustened to w^ith great respect and appreciation. They were strengthened by an obvious interest and sin- cerity that carried the message home. On the occasion of a review in his honor, he said: You go to fight against the idea which would hold the individual to no moral obligation, which would absolve the state from every considera- tion of truth or justice or equity. And the President is right w^hen he says that no peace can be made w^ith those who openly have said that a treaty is only a scrap of paper and that any state has a right secretly to withdraw from any obligation it has incurred to any other country. I don't know when I have looked on such an inspiring scene as this. I was here in June and July and witnessed your predecessors of the First Camp and was thrilled then with what I saw. But today, looking into your faces, having learned of the tremendous w^ork you are doing, having learned of the patriotic purpose which has inspired you, I feel a new hope for the future of our country. I have no doubt that when the war is over, w^ith the lessons we shall have learned, with the training which w^e were without, but which, I hope, we will be w^ise enough to continue to the remotest day, we will have a new^ and better country, a deeper sense of brotherhood. We w^ill be tenderer of the right of the common man than ever before, and out of the heroism which you are exhibiting, out of all the tears that alw^ays attend a war, will come a greater, a better and a kindlier republic, and humanity forevermore will be indebted to you. On other occasions Governor Sleeper of Michigan, Governor Phillips of Wisconsin and Governor Capper of Kansas were present and spoke to the student officers. Many other notables came out to visit the Camp. General Alvarado Obregon, conqueror of Pancho Villa at the battle of Celago and one of the foremost soldiers of Mexico, w^as the guest of Colonel Ryan. In the company of Colonel Ryan, w^ho is a personal friend of General Obregon, the Mexican chieftain spent several hours reviewing the drills and inspecting cantonments and trenches. He constantly expressed his delight and astonishment at the progress made by the rookies. No one who ever saw Federal Judge Kenesaw^ Landis at Fort Sheridan will forget it. His son. Reed Landis, entered the First Camp and was trans- ferred with others to the aviation section, where he made a reputation of which every Fort Sheridan man is proud. Judge Landis got down to brass tacks immediately, just as he does in his court. He was not satisfied to look on. He went through the communicating trenches, ignored the mud, climbed over obstacles and investigated lookout stations and dugouts and saw things as they were. He had a word of kindly interest for all. Just wanted to be one of the men and to get into the game. A notable group of Chicago men were constant visitors to Fort Sheridan and did much to help make the Camp a success. Among them may be named Samuel Insull, Chairman State Council of Defense; Charles Wacker, Col. H. M. Byllesby, Roger Sullivan, John P. Hopkins, H. H. Merrick, Frederick W. Upham, Arthur Meeker, John P. Stockton and Samuel Hastings. 372 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION _^ These men, with others from Lake Forest, Highland Park and surround- ing towns were not merely casual visitors but backed up every effort that needed help from outside the Camp to make it successful. The Commanding Officer and all the students at Fort Sheridan will re- member the splendid paper published by Mr. Lew Merrill and his partners under the name of the Reveille. This paper appeared w^eekly and w^as full of good illustrations, fine selections of material and attractive articles which invariably added to the interest and training of the men. There were never enough to supply the big demand and eagerness to get the paper increased as the Camp went on. Mr. Merrill preserved a great many of the records of the Camp in the Reveille w^hich have been largely used in this article. In the eighth week the rookies repeated their war game in the trenches. The question as to w^hich army was finally victorious w^ill probably be a subject for student argument as long as the Camp is remembered. The following account appeared in the Reveille: Exact battle conditions, as they exist on the Western Front, have been reproduced as faithfully as possible and the rifle fire, coupled with the salvos of the batteries delivering their barrage fire, has kept up con- tinuously night and day. Each company was in the trenches for thirty-six hours at a stretch, eating, sleeping and living exactly as they expect to live later on in the European battlefields. At 1 1 o'clock every night, G. M. Martin and his staff of Y. M. C. A. w^orkers, carried cans of steaming coffee and sandwiches through the w^inding communicating trenches to the dugouts and shelters and w^ere welcomed with subdued shouts of joy by the men w^ho had been so val- iantly defending their respective positions. There was little chance for sleep during the thirty-six hour periods that the men v/ere in the trenches. Amid the crash and roar of artillery and the fusillade of rifle shots every man was on the alert. The w^ide expanse of No Man's Land at night was lit up by the fitful radiance of the flares and the red and white rockets which were signals for barrage fire to break up attacking raids. In conformity with the plans of Colonel Ryan, Major Cromwell Stacey, senior instructor, who personally spent the nights in observation, no detail w^as omitted to make it a real war game for the candidate officers. The grim determination of the men and their alertness in the face of driving rains and raw^ night winds excited the admiration of their commanders. "The work this w^eek was marked by steady improvement, ' said Colonel Ryan yesterday. 'The first night the men w^ere not so keen, but there w^as steady progress noted throughout the succeeding days. The failure of the attacks to reach the first line Wednesday night was due to the keenness of the sentinels, the excellent work of standing patrols and the perfect system of communicating signals which enabled a barrage fire to be delivered in one minute and reinforcements to be supplied im- mediately. "The earnestness of the men, shown in carrying out the work in the trenches is another manifestation of the zeal and determination which permeates this Second Officers' Training Camp. The showing that the men made during the week proved very gratifying to me. " THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 373 "The men deployed in good shape and came up in good shape," said Major Stacey, senior instructor. "There has been marked improve- ment all the way through, especially in patrolling. The men have learned the value of silence, both in patrolling and defense work. The relief of the trenches was carried out without a hitch and it is the intention of the instructors that they will get the same movement during the twelfth week at midnight, instead of at 12 noon, as was the case last week. "The men are getting a very good idea of trench duties and above all are learning to take care of themselves. "This trench week has been very instructive to the men and splendid progress has been shown all along the line. One incident of special interest was the coup executed Monday night by Captain James Woolnough of the Illinois battalion. Penetrating dense thickets in the murk long before dawn, he ad- vanced his companies right up to Michigan's barbed wire and dug kneel- ing shelter. Two hours elapsed before the defenders of Fort Sheridan's trenches knew what had happened, but by that time Woolnough was so strongly established that he was secure against everything but very accu- rate barrage fire. If supported, these trenches could be strengthened so as to make them impossible of capture. From them a deadly assault could be launched. Major Cromwell Stacey, senior instructor, was so enthusiastic about what the Illinois captain and his companies had done that, when they marched back to the huts during an armistice, he repeatedly yelled to them, "Bully work, men; bully work. " Michigan's forces, under command of Captain R. G. Peck, "colonel " for the night, took over the five miles of trenches at seven in the evening. By 10:45 patrols of Major Farrand of the Michigan regiment discovered Captain Woolnough's camp 600 yards to the southward. Colonel Peck ordered Captain James P. Marley to drive him out with artillery. All over the North Shore the bombardment could be heard. Umpire Lawrence Martin then proceeded to Woolnough's forces and told them they would have to evacuate. But instead of going backward, Wool- nough bided his time and crept forward, capturing all Michigan patrols that might reveal his maneuver. Then he dug in seventy-five yards in front of Michigan's line. Woolnough had done so well that Chief Umpire Stacey decreed that he might have four more companies to support him shortly after 3 a. m. Companies 17, 18, 19 and 20 were routed out of their barracks and, with full pack and under command of Captain X. F. Blauvelt, they detoured around Michigan's w^est flank. Dawn found the support driving off a wave of two companies that Colonel Peck had sent over the top. Woolnough had scored heavily. "In the early part of the night patrolling on both sides w^as excellent," said Major Stacey. "From midnight on up until 4 o'clock the patrolling of the Michigan forces fell off in efficiency. This enabled Illinois soldiers to creep through th,e bushes and intrench unmolested for two hours before they were posi- tively reported. "Small Michigan patrols sent out to investigate were captured by Illinois. Consequently the information that the Illinois battalion under Captain Woolnough was only I 00 yards in front of the trenches digging in was not known until 3 a. m., at which time Captain Woolnough had sufficient cover to hold his position. THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 375 "The organization of the Michigan position, trench duties, Hasion between the infantry and artillery barrage fire, the telephone system, claims of runners and signal rockets were managed so efficiently that little w^as left to be desired.' On Tuesday they had maneuvered through the night as troops of the State of Michigan, w^hich is at war with the State of Illinois. The heavy rain flooded boyaux, traverses and dugouts and parades and para- pet exuded a slimy ooze. Under command of Captain J. J. Wuest, acting as colonel for the night, Michigan's forces defended the trenches against the operations of hostile Illinois battalions in charge of Captain W. C. F. Nicholson. Ad- vancing from Evanston, Captain Nicholson bivouacked at Highwood. Patrols from both sides occasionally met in sharp contact. After making a demonstration on Michigan's left flank. Captain Nicholson, w^ith Companies 12, 21, 22 and 23, rushed the trenches on Michigan's right and center. Michigan sentries gave the signal for barrage from Captain Marley's batteries. In two minutes the guns began to roar, but in that interval three of Nicholson's companies managed to seize a sector of Michigan s front line. Major Farrand, in Michigan's second line trenches, ordered a coun- ter charge over the top and Nicholson w^as dislodged. Then Colonel Wuest ordered the artillery to sweep the entire front and Illinois was routed. "Captain Nicholson's approach from Highwood was well managed," said Colonel Ryan, who was an all-night spectator. 'The momentary occupation of the Michigan front line by Captain Nicholson was made possible because of a single barbed w^ire entanglement. Entanglements would not have been crossed so easily if actual war conditions existed. "The lesson here is that no enemy could have gotten in under real war conditions, and one notable thing that developed in the repulsion of Nicholson's troops was the charge over the top. That showed very good tactical judgment, as Major Farrand's action enabled him quickly to move a large force which could not have been done if the troops had been sent forward through the trenches. " Real music, the best in the country, was brought to Fort Sheridan. It had to be good, for there w^ere hundreds of rookies there w^ho, as producers, artists and critics, could maintain highest standards. The first big musicale was given by the Paulist Choir, Father Flynn con- ducting. This great chorus with its international reputation, sang one Sunday night to a crowded gymnasium full of student officers. Those who were there will not forget either the beautiful singing or the close appreciative attention of the audience. Somehow music seemed to have a big place in men's emotions those days. Someone versed in national psy- chology will explain why war and music seem to be so close in their inter- dependence. Both those who sang and those who listened seemed to feel music with a new forcefulness. Perhaps it filled some lonely places in their hearts perhaps it soothed emotions that had been overstrained or satisfied feelings w^hich could not be spoken in words. At least those black vestments of this w^onderful chorus the sweet voices of the boys and the strong voices of the men made a deep impression upon 9('*-'» T- iJsp B^nT'^ s ■1 f"^"" 1 f .■ L IN! ,»-*x-; THE SECOND OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP 377 those hundreds of upturned faces, with the dull brown of the khaki as a back- ground. Those who had seen them at the boxing and bayonet practice and who might later see some of these men in the trenches in France could say truly, "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. " Later the Chicago Symphony Orchestra came for an evening. The stage was enlarged — several truck loads of instruments w^ere brought to Fort Sheri- dan. When the doors of the Gymnasium were opened that Sunday evening at 6 P. M. the hall was soon crowded and then, by an arrangement with the orchestra, those w^ho could not get in at the first concert w^ere given a chance to hear several numbers afterw^ard. No one w^ill forget the wonderful music that night. Clyde M. Carr, the president of the Association; Mr. Frederick J. Wessels, the manager, and Mr. Frederick Stock, the conductor, as well as hundreds of old friends, said they never heard the orchestra play as it did that night. The audience was carried away by the music and the musicians were lifted out of the mechanical by the appreciation of their audience. The f ollow^ing program was rendered : 1. Overture to "Rienzi", Wagner. 2. Andante molto moto (By the Brook), from Symphony, "Pas- torale', Beethoven. 3. Meditation from "Thais", Massenet. (Violin obligato by Mr. Harry Weisbach.) 4. Capriccio Espagnol, Opus 34, Rimsky-Korsakow; Alborada, Variations, Alborada, Scene and Gypsy Song, Fandango of the Asturias. (Played without pause.) 5. Berceuse from "Jocelyn" Suite, Godard. (Violincello obligato by Mr. Bruno Steindel. 6. Concert Waltz No. I , Flazounow^. 7. Marche, "Slave", Tschaikowsky. At the close Mr. Stock turned to the audience and said, "Now 1 will show you how we can play the American airs." And they played. Such cheering. Time after time the audience rose to its feet, but no matter how loud the cheering, the mighty swing of the music carried above it all, and when the last note died out and the conductor turned and bowed, men realized that probably never again would they hear such music or such enthu- siasm combined under such circumstances throughout all their lives. What value has this in the training of soldiers? A value so great that in the near future the entire army adopted these methods, and spent millions of dollars to provide the best in order that they might keep the minds and spirits strong for the gruelling tests and the tiresome watches that weakens men's force for leadership and battle. During the First and Second Camps the Y. M. C. A., under the direction of Mr. George Martin as General Secretary, did a splendid work for the stu- dent officers in training. The commanding officer expressed his appreciation in the following letter: 378 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION "My dear Mr. Trude: During my tour of duty with the First Train- ing Camp at Fort Sheridan and since 1 have been in command of the Second Fort Sheridan Training Camp I have had occasion to observe the work of the Young Men's Christian Association here. Their work has been of great assistance in instructing and guiding the welfare of the young men here, making provision for w^holesome lectures, reading mate- rial, writing material and entertainments of various kinds. They have assisted in athletics and in every way have co-operated with the officers in command to create ideal moral atmosphere around these young men. Their tact, diplomacy and good w^ill has w^on for them the admiration of every member of this Camp. Their work is democratic and universal in its effect upon these men and most beneficial.

C. A. had a rest room during the Second Camp in the southeast room of the Gymnasium. At the beginning of the Second Fort Sheridan Camp the Department of Morale was originated and organized. It was decided by the Commanding Officer that in addition to the welfare organizations mentioned, that there should be a definite department under the control of the Commanding Officer through which he could secure the best co-operation of all agencies as w^ell as the commanders of companies axid the men themselves, in order that there might be maintained the highest standard of morale. As outlined, the duty of the Director of Morale was to assist the instruct- ors in building up w^ithin their companies a spirit of harmony, an enthusiasm for their work, a clear conception of the motives in which the war was under- taken, a high standard of personal living and a definite sense of the large responsibilities of the officers in training and maintaining the morale of their companies in the new^ army. These directors worked in close harmony with the instructors and with all other agencies in the Camp. Their activities w^ere particularly those w^ithin the company life, where they co-operated w^ith the captains in every possible way. At first many of the men smiled at this new^ department in the service and those w^ho w^ere entrusted with the responsibility had to w^ithstand their full share of good-natured bantering and w^itticisms. How^ever, the idea of a Department of Morale as an integral part of an Army organization originating at this time eventually prevailed in the offices of the Secretary of War and w^as adopted as a Department of the Chief of Staff of the American Armies. The Commanding Officer had the satisfaction long after the Second Fort Sheridan Camp was closed of receiving an order w^hich was sent to every division of the Army instructing them to appoint a Director of Morale for each division. Brigadier-General Munson, a Regular Army officer, w^as ordered to Washington and put in charge of this department. It operated in this country w^ith a good deal of success in the camps and was the parent of the plan which developed after the armistice of placing all matters of welfare w^ork in the Army directly in the control of the Commanding Officer. Not only did this department aim to give every man in the Camp the very best chance to make the most of his period of training, but in addition it organ- ized a course of training to familiarize the men of the companies with the best methods of taking care of the men under their command. Every Wednesday night a representative of each company met Colonel Ryan and the Director of Morale for an hour in the Gymnasium, at which time a discussion was held covering the four points of intellectual, physical, social and moral interests of the enlisted man.
