Anoka City (part 2 of 3)

"On our way across the Atlantic we stopped at Halifax for three days and there were thirty-four ships in our convoy. One day we saw a bunch of submarines. I was on the upper deck near the railing and saw one of the subs not far from our boat. The next boat shelled and sunk it. They also sunk two others on the way over.

"I see Stub Allison frequently. He is busy at present with a Foot Ball Team, which goes soon to play a game at another Aviation Center about 80 miles away, and they are going over in planes - what do you think of that? I never thought I'd live to see the time when foot ball teams would travel about in airships, but evidently it has arrived. They have a right good team here too, all collegt stars, from all parts of the country, several ail- American men included.

"The French people surely have been celebrating the past few days, as you've probably read in the papers, and while we a'"'- close to the big 'doin's,' the echoes reached do" > Tere and our little town is really quite gay. I dio.' ' k:now there were so many flags in the world as I'vt -een today. Every building from the cathedral to ihe smallest barn is draped and the number of American flags is surprising. They surely have reason to celebrate after these years of war. I'll bet things livened up a bit at home too - the fire bell perhaps and a holiday for the school kids. And now, of course, all our rumors are about going home'. According to some, we'll be home for Christmas dinner but we don't know which Christmas.

"The gunnery course, just finished, was a dandy, some wild rides with plenty of thrills along with some good instruction. A million dollars looks like cigarette money to a chap who climbs in the cock pit of an old bus just after the sun comes up and sails away through the crisp morning air and literally walks on clouds. And then you stand up, the chariot jumping and bucking and shoot with a camera gun, at an attacking plane which goes through all the evolutions in the "flying drill manual." Then when your mission is finished, you sit up there and watch this beautiful country unroll way down below and hang on like the dickens while your pilot cuts a few capers which pick up the earth and throw it around on all sides. Then maybe, you dive down to the river and sail for a few miles just above the water, lined with banks covered with queer, old, stone houses, old boats and washing, zooming for the bridges with such speed that all the cars and teams seem to be standing still. From there you swing and climb over the town with it's narrow, little streets, old rambling houses, dinky street cars, cathedrals and towers and then back to the field with the ships swarming around like a flock of mosquitoes. This is the life. One good ride would put pep in a post.

"And now I'm going to crawl under my pile of bedding and coats and prepare to growl about the shortness of the night when I shiver out in the cold, gray dawn. Morning surely comes quickly and it seems the earlier I go to bed the sooner I get up.

"We are in receipt of an interesting letter from John A. Heffelfinger whom Anoka citizens will remember as once connected with the old Anoka Shoe factory. He has been on the U. S. S. Pueblo and has traveled to France and just returned from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Flis boat is now in the navy yard being overhauled and made ready as a suitable transport to carry troops back from France. He has made six trips across and previous to that, patrolled South American waters for nine months. He entered the service at the beginning of the war and has been on the move ever since. They had the record for duration and mileage of the battle ships and broke all records on their trip to Rio de Janeiro, including 24 hours stop for coaling at the Virgin Islands. They were in Rio de Janerio five days and back in 36 days. They took the ambassador down. On this trip, about 6,100 tons of coal were burned. Mr. Heffelfinger was advanced to a first class petty officer in the engineer's force.

"It might be interesting to know that their war crew has been reduced from 1,200 to 750 so as to carry as many soldiers as possible. Formerly they had a 25-piece band. 100 marines and 400 deck hands, of the latter only 100 were retained and the marines and band are gone. They claim the soldiers are to put in eight hours in the cots and 16 hours out. By so doing there will be three soldiers for every cot running eight hour shifts for sleeping. Of course this remains to be seen."

The Senior Class of the Anoka High School adopted two French war orphans. On November 20th the Anoka Union published several letters from these forlorn, yet brave people, which should interest every reader with any real sympathy for suffering France. Here are the letters:

"How happy I was to receive a letter from America. I was jealous of the others who received one. At present, I am happy to know you, to know your name, your age and to know that you passed your examination, but you did not say if you graduated.

"I do not know whether all of the class adopted orphans, because none said anything again on this subject here. I hope they will not be slow in informing my mother.

"I thank you again very much, as well as all your associates, for wishing to help me, and my great desire is to study and become a fine scholar, because I love very much to go to school. I am in the certified class. I am always the first. The holidays will soon end. I shall go to school again and try to keep my place to please you and also my mama.

"You believe that I have no one near to me, but Miss, I have a grandmother who has come with us, when the Germans drove her away after they had taken everything. We are still far from the front, but we hear the cannon, and, thanks to the American soldiers who risk nothing, because they are brave soldiers, who will come some day to deliver my grandmother's country, that is on the Meuse, this poor country that was invaded four years ago. Also I thank you most heartily for coming to the aid of our soldiers, to drive from France the foul boches, who have caused so much suffering, who have made us so unhappy. They killed our papa, who was so well-bred, genteel, who loved us so much, so my mama has much trouble to raise us.

"You should know that I have a little sister who is called Margaret and a little brother Bene, who is very much younger than I, and my mama is often very ill. For more than a month she has not earned anything.

"Dear Mildred, you asked me if you could make me something. I will ask if you are willing to make a little woolen cape, for this winter, to go to school, because I have two kilometers to go and it is very cold in this district. I would also like some gaiters, there is always much snow, and last winter I frosted my ankles. I go so far to school, because in my little country no one could instruct me enough to be a school teacher, also, I thank you again. I do not know the little boy, Charles Perrot, of whom you spoke, for he lives far from here. You will be happy if T write you a good letter? I wish you would' write to me often, if that is possible. I close with

"Simone Petijean. "P. S. - I enclose a flower from my little garden, it is the last. M'ama wants me to send you my photograph. I will send my portrait in exchange for yours."

"I will add a word to this letter of my little Simone, in order to thank you for your kindness in adopting this child. I want you to know she is frolicsome, but as good as any in the town. She is very gifted in studies, and that pleases her. T am happy because she plays nicely and behaves well, especially with the help of such genteel ladies as you. Her great desire is to learn English, but alas, I am little use to her this winter, because I have been ill for a long time. I have not been able to work and living is so high. I thank the brave American soldiers most heartily who are helping our soldiers so much and coming to restore the liberty of the inhabitants of my country. And think of the joy of my poor mother, who is 76 years old and who^ saw such terrible things, when she hopes to return home soon.

"To satisfy my little Simone's wishes, I must write you a few words. She has been ill for several days and cannot write for herself and as she is anxious for news from you all insists that I write for her. She is sufifering with malignant Grippe, such as is prevalent in your country. I trust it will not prove too serious, though today her temperature has been very high. She is very lonely and frets because of her enforced seclusion. She also worries because she is falling behind in her classes and I fear when she begins again she will study and work so hard to catch up with her companions that she will make herself ill again, but I pray she will be wise and be governed by her superiors and not be imprudent.

"Her little brother Rene and a sister Marguerite are quite well at this moment. As for me, I suffer always with the pain in my head, to the extent that I cannot work for my dear children who love me much.

"Mrs. Petijean gave me to read the charming letter received from you in the name of your class - addressed to her little daughter. I am interested in this unfortunate family and wish to thank you for the .sympathy shown in their distress. Words cannot express her joy at receiving your letters and the comfort she derives from them. Mr. Petijean was a notary. He was highly appreciated for his doctrines and honesty bj' his patrons.

"In 1914 he was called to arms. He fought during 1914 and 1915 and finally in 1916 took part in the battle of Verdun. He fell at Damloup on March 17th, 1916. We know from his comrades that he was instantly killed in action. He was loved by his companions at arms. One of them wrote to the widow.

organization, but needless to say, all this is insufficient for their actual needs. The mother, in very delicate health, tried to do menial work in a kitchen, but was obliged to stop. She is a young woman, but appears ten years older than her actual age.

"The children are all the joy and comfort she has. Your protege Little Simone, always leads her class and is well loved by her classmates and teachers. Her ambition is to become a teacher and help as soon as possible her mother.

"Because of our close proximity to the front, I have many occasions of seeing your soldiers and I want to tell you that all your compatriots impress us wonderfully. Gentlemen of unusually good breeding, courteous and brave, '-^'^ir resistance in battle is marvelous. Their br --y equals that j)f the French soldiers. They figi magnificently and their coalition with our 'Poilus' admirable. In the past four years our men have learned to judge quality, and they bow in appreciation of the American soldiers. We are all deeply touched by the kindness and attentions paid by your soldiers to ours.

"I would be happy if our little family can receive permission to entertain an American soldier in their home as it w.ould enable Simone to learn the English language. I too would be glad to offer the hospitality of my home to one of your soldiers. Would prefer the son of a professor, notary or lawyer, some profession in accord with mine. If you can use any influence to obtain this for us we would appreciate it greatly.

"I must crave your pardon for writing such a long letter which has for its object, simply to assure you that^ your generosity and sympathy for the Petijean family is not in vain. It is greatly needed and appreciated.

"Again, our thanks to the Anoka school. Please present the compliments of an old Frenchman to the teachers and superiors who recommended to your class the adoption of little Simone. Receive for yourself and class, the gratitude of

Those who have tried to gather a smattering of French in the past two years will doubtless appreciate this letter which was received by Miss Alice Goodrich from the home where her brother. Lieutenant Edgar Goodrich, was quartered for a time in France:

"My dear Alice: - We have the pleasure to live at home many officers, among whom is brother Edgar. He is arrived after a long and perilous voyage in the castle of my parents. (K photograph bore the legend: 'Chateau Larose-Perganson, facade principale.' The building is large and of unique architecture.) He has said to me you had my age. I am very glad of that and if you wish we shall care to correspond together. I have a sister fifteen years old. She would be happy to correspond with your sister Helen. Your brother is a good, very merry boy. (Edgar hasn't changed much evidently.) He put us in the good humour, and it is necessary because we were in the sadness of the death of the war. He was just the same age as your brother Edgar. My mother wishes to adopt him for son of war, and to procure him all the satisfaction of the French family. Please excuse my bad English. I am quite beginner, but I have much good tenacity for learn; speak and write the American language. I sent to your parents the best sympathy of your.

No local drive was made for funds for the Knights of Columbus. Members of that organization and of the Catholic faith were requested to send their

Mrs. Clarence

Of course the Knights of Columbus participated in the "Seven War Sister" drive in the fall of 1918 as did all of the other recognized societies.

Mrs. Clarence Greeniield was County Chairman of the Child Welfare Committee of the Woman's Auxiliary of the National Council of Defense for the year of April, 1918 to April, 1919. That year was designated as "Children's Year."

In Anoka County this work was done through the township chairman of the Red Cross Chapter. One thousand one hundred and fifteen babies were weighed and measured. One hundred of these were weighed and measured at the county fair where a State Child Welfare exhibit was presented.

Much valuable literature was distributed over the county and help and advice was given to the mothers, The map used to illustrate the operations in the St. Mihiel salient was very generously given this book by the Literary Digest, Funk and Wagnals, Publishers, New York.

The 42nd Division started from northeast of Seicheprey early September 12th and by night time of the same day had advanced more than five miles almost due north to Lamarche en Woevre. The next day's advance brought the Division to a line west of St. Benoit. By September 18th it had taken a position at Haumont, thus aiding in completely blotting out the St. Mihiel salient, which the Germans had occupied for four years.

The map shows the American and German positions throughout the offensive. General Pershing's account of the battle is taken from his report to the secretary of war.

"With the reduction of the Marne salient we could look forward to the concentration of our divisions in our own zone," said Pershing's report. "In view of the forthcoming operation against the St. Mihiel salient which had long been planned as our first offensive action on a large scale, the First Army was organized on August 10th under my personal command. While American units had held different divisional and corps sectors all along the western front, there had not been up to this time, for obvious reasons, a distinct American sector, but in view of the important part the American forces were now to play it was necessary to take over a permanent portion of the line.

"Accordingly on August 30th the line beginning at Port-sur-Seille, east of the Moselle and extending to the west through St. Mihiel, thence north to a point opposite Verdun, was placed under my command. The American sector was afterward extended across the Meuse to the western edge of the Argonne forest and included the Seventeenth French Corps, which occupied the heights above Verdun.

"The preparation for a complicated operation against the formidable defenses in front of us included the assembling of divisions and of corps and army artillery, transport, aircraft, tanks and ambulances, the location of hospitals, and the molding together of all the elements of a great modern army, with its own railheads, supplied directly by our own service of supply. The concentration for this operation, which was to be a surprise, involved the movement, mostly at night, of approximately 600,000 troops and required for its success the most careful attention to every detail.

"The French were generous in giving us assistance in corps and army artillery with its personnel, and we were confident from the start of our superiority over the enemy in guns of all calibres. Our heavy guns were able to reach Metz and to interfere seriously with German rail movements. The French independent air force was placed under my command, which, together with the British bombing squadrons and our own air forces, gave us the largest assembly of aviation that had ever been engaged in one operation on the western front.

"From Les Eparges around the nose of the salient of St. Mihiel to the Moselle river the line was roughly 40 miles long and situated on commanding ground, greatly strengthened by artificial defenses. Our First Corps (82nd, 90th, 5th and 2nd Divisions), under command of Major General Hunter Liggett, resting its right on Pont-a-Musson, with its left joining our Fourth Corps (the 89th, 42nd and 1st Divisions), under M!ajor General Joseph T. Dickman, in line to Xivray, were to swing in toward Vigneilles on the pivot of the Moselle river for the initial assault.

"From Xivray to Mouilly the Second Colonial French Corps was in line in the center, and our Fifth Corps, under command of Major General George S. Cameron, with the 26th and 4th United States Divisions and a French Division at the western base of the salient, were to attack three difficult hills, Les Eparges, Combres and Amaranthe. Our First Corps had in reserve the 78th Division, our Fourth Corps the Third Division, and our First Army the 35th and 91st Divisions, with the 80th and 33rd available. It should be understood that our corps organizations are very elastic, and that we have at no time had permanent assignments of divisions to corps.

"After four hours artillery preparation the seven American divisions in the front line advanced at 5 a. m., September 12th, assisted by a limited number of tanks, manned partly by Americans and partly by the French. These divisions accompanied by groups of wire cutters and others armed with bangalore torpedoes, went through the successive bands of barbed wire that protected the enemy's front line and support trenches in irresistible waves on schedule time, breaking down all defenses of an enemy demoralized by the great volume of our artillery fire and our sudden appearance out of the fog.

"Our First Corps took Thiaucourt, while our Fourth Corps curved back to the southwest through Nonsard. The Second Colonial French Corps made the slight advance required of it on very difficult ground, and the Fifth Corps took its three ridges and repulsed a counterattack. A rapid march brought reserve regiments of a division of the Fifth Corps into Vigneulles in the early morning where it linked up with patrols of our Fourth Corps, closing the salient and forming a new line west of Thiaucourt to Vigneulles and beyond Fresnes-en- Woevre.

"At the cost of only 7,000 casualties, mostly light, we had taken 16,000 prisoners and 443 guns and a great quantity of material, released the inhabitants of many villages from enemy domination, and established our lines in a position to threaten Metz.

"The signal success of the new American J^irst Army in its first offensive was of prime importance. The Allies found they had a formidable army to aid them, and the enemy learned finally that he had one to reckon with."

No adequate mention has yet been made of the Drafted Men's Comfort Committee which was active for more than a year in raising between six and seven hundred dollars which was expeijded for the purchase of comforts and entertainment for the drafted men when they left for cantonments.

Miss Theresa Erickson returned to Anoka in February after serving as a Red Cross nurse in France for six months. She addressed the pupils of the High School and several local clubs, telling of her experiences while overseas.

March 4th it was announced that, for the first tim.e since its organization, the Anoka Chapter of the Red Cross had completed and shipped all work on hand.

Mrs. Lillian Hewey Mrs. T. T. Geddes

Announcement was made early in March that all discharged soldiers and sailors would receive a bonus of sixty dollars upon application. Congress passed a law permitting the discharged men to keep their uniforms as souvenirs of the great adventure.

The drive for funds for the relief of Armenians and Syrians, postponed from time to time on account of the epidemic of influenza prevalent in the county, was at last undertaken March 31st. Rev. Thomas W. Barbour was chairman of the committee as previously stated. The campaign was opened by a mass meeting at The Green Mondaj' evening, March 31st. Rev. Crawford Grays addressed the meeting and there is no doubt that the small allotment asked of this county will be quickly raised.

As this book goes to press it has been announced that the Fifth Liberty Loan- - the Victory Loan - and the last of the series will be floated the last of April. The twenty-first is the date set.

T. E. Coleman is again chairman of the Anoka County committee and he is asking those who served so faithfully and well in former campaigns to help "finish the task" by serving as committeemen once more. The terms of the bonds and the allotment for the Ninth Federal Reserve District for Minnesota or for Anoka County have not yet been made public. The newspapers are again giving freely of publicity and there is no question that Anoka County will invest in these bonds and complete its records of having oversubscribed every allotment made for it during the entire duration of the war.

Gus Peterson was appointed chairman of the War Savings and Thrift Stamp Campaign for 1919, and he asked the 1918 committee to assist him for the year. No quota has been announced for this county, as yet, for the year 1919.

In glancing back over the preceding pages it has been found that the County Committee which managed the "Seven Sisters" War Activities campaign in September of 1918 has been omitted.

Upon the departure of L. O. Jacob for an officer's training camp, John P. Coleman was made chairman of the drive and, assisted by the committee below, successfully conducted the campaign for funds.

Mrs. T. E. Coleman succeeded Mrs. Frank L. Salter as county representative of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Public Safety Commission and Council of National Defense, in 1919.

vSome comment has been made on previous pages in regard to the splendid work done by the Red Cross Salvage Corps under the direction of Mrs.

Gus Peterson. About eight hundred dollars was realized from the sale of the materials gathered by this committee. The material collected was largely junk - stuff from attics and store rooms which had accumulated in the homes of Anoka for years. It remained for this committee to turn it into money for the Red Cross.

Mrs. Buzzell, Mrs. Peterson. Mrs. Beatty

Assisting on the committee were Mrs. Buzzell, Mrs. Beatty, and Mrs. Gallup, Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Bird, ]\Irs. Van Vliet, Mrs. Hibbard and Mrs. McLaughHn and several others.

Beside the permanent members of the Legal Advisory board for draftees, from time to time men in various parts of the county were added to the board as associate members until the list finally contained all of these:

Mrs. Raymond P. Chase was local chairman of the Refugee Garment work beginning April 10th, 1918. These societies received allotments of this sort of work consisting of 24 shirts for boys, 12 pinafores and 12 petticoats for girls each month: Episcopal Guild, Catholic Ladies' Guild, Home Club, Mother's Club, Neighborhood Whist Club, Whist Club, Universalist Ladies' Guild, Wellfed Club.

Among the young people from the Commercial Department of the Anoka High School, who assisted the Legal Advisory Board of the county in the work of filling out questionaires for the men drafted, were the following:

A more or less accurate idea of the vast amount of money raised in Anoka County for all war activities may be gained from the following summary.

To the very last has been left that part of Anoka County's war history which deals with the pictures and service records of our soldiers, sailors and army nurses. This was done in order to give all the time possible to the collecting of this data and to recheck it for the greatest possible accuracy.

It should be kept in mind that much of the data furnished in the service records has been furnished by relatives and friends of the men. Some errors may develop in these records but they are, in the main, correct. They have been compared with the records of the draft board and with the records from the state military department.

A few cases will be found where the name only of a man is given. This indicates that from some seemingly reliable source the writer has been informed that the man was in some branch of the service. Either his friends were unable to give any more information about him or refused or neglected to do so.

These service records have been corrected from the published casualty lists up to the evening of M'arch 30th, 1919, and such expressions as "still in France," "still in service," etc., mean as of that date.

The pictures and records were collected by the Anoka County War Records Commission appointed in January, 1919. It is due to the untiring efforts of these patriotic women that so complete an album of pictures and records has been gathered together. The work was done by them without pay and they defrayed their own expenses incident thereto.
