The 1923 legislature appropriated SI.()()() for the compilation of a history of the Kansas State Guard, in order to perpetuate the memory of that organization and its service during the World War. All available data has been used in the publication of this volume and it is the best that could be prepared with the limited amount of funds provided for the purpose. The Kansas State Guard took a very important part in the world’s % greatest conflict. In addition to training the youth to enter the fed eral service, performing guard duty, and assisting the various drives to finance our combat troops, they maintained the patriotism of the communities at high ebb and inspired all civilians to revere the name of America, which was an invaluable aid to the state. I take this opportunity to express the appreciation of the state of Kansas to the former officers and men of the State Guard who so willingly gave their time and financial assistance to protect our citizens while the National Guardsmen were on the firing line. M. R. McLEAN, The Adjutant General, Kansas.

(4) THE HOME GUARD.
Prior to 1917 the citizens of Kansas did not bestow much thought upon pro tecting municipal and industrial properties by organized bodies ot troops. When we entered the World War the municipalities assumed that in the Na tional Guard the state offered ample protection against sabotage and destruc tion of property by alien sympathizers. Stories of espionage published in eastern papers, exaggerated through the constantly reiterated repetitions of overzealous and excitable but well-mean ing patriots, soon brought Kansas to look upon any person having the slightest trace of German origin or connection with suspicion. Every com munity had its tales based upon its fearful imaginings of pro-German ac tivities. To the excited public every necessary utility was menaced with ever-present destruction by enemy aliens or German sympathizers. The peak ot this war hysteria was reached in 1918. Its effects were evident, however, in many lo calities in the earlier days of the war. On April 17, 1917, the State Council of Defense was organized in the Gov ernors office at Topeka. The object of the organization, as set out in the Council’s history, edited by Prof. Frank W. Blackmar, and published in 1920, was “ to mobilize all of the resources of the state for the support of the war.” After organization the Council was divided into a number of departments, to one of which the Department of Public Defense was assigned the duty of or ganizing the Home Guards “ for the protection of local property.” Immediately after the meeting of the Defense Council in April, 1917, the organization of Home Guard units was begun in many communities. The first company to be enrolled was located at Kansas City, Kan., and its organization was completed in April, 1917. From this initial unit approximately 150 companies were or ganized throughout the state. Few, if any, of the sponsors for the Home Guard movement in the state had knowledge of military organization, and the plans adopted bv the Council bore little semblance to an orderly and effective organization of a military force. It has been stated that many of those active in the original organization expressed the desire that the Home Guard be non military in its character, and we find evidence of this intent in the instructions printed on the original blanks used for enrollment of members. These in structions stated that the Home Guard “ is a civilian organization and has no connection with the military service of the state of Kansas or of the United States.” Under the plan of organization adopted by the Council, the officers of each company were a commander, a surgeon, a recorder, and a treasurer. Mayors of cities of the first and second class were appointed as commanders of the units in their respective cities. In localities other than in cities of the first or second class, the sheriff of the county was appointed such commander. The other officers of the company were elected by vote of the members. The four officers named above were authorized to appoint additional officers, whose duty it was to instruct the company in military subjects, and together with (5) C Adjutant General's Department. the officers so appointed by them, constituted an executive committee having full charge and management of all affairs ot the organization. Other than the action taken by the Council of Defense, no official recogni tion was given to the Home Guard by the state, and the organization had no official state status until August 6, 1917. On August 5, 1917, civic bodies awoke to the realization that the National Guard had changed its character overnight, and was from that date a part of the army of the United States and no longer subject to orders of state officials. This departure gave impetus to the Home Guard movement in the larger cities of the state, and emphasized the needs of the organization for arms and ammunition. Five hundred Spring- field rifles, cal. 45. were on hand in the state arsenal at the outbreak of the war. These guns, while in serviceable condition, were of an obsolete type, which had been issued in bygone years to the state for use of the militia. The rifles were used by a number of the Home Guard companies for drill pur poses for several months. On receipt of the Russian rifles hereinafter referred to. the companies were directed to return the Springfields. In obedience to the order, 400 were received. The remainder were lost or retained by members who refused to turn them in to their company officers. Many of those re turned were in unserviceable condition, badly rusted, and otherwise damaged through carelessness and neglect. An El Dorado company had rendered the guns returned by it worthless by sawing off a foot or more of every barrel; probably this was done upon the theory that the guns were longer than neces sary, and carried too much gun metal. The act of congress of June 14, 1917, authorized the issue of arms and am munition by the government to Home Guard organizations. On September 26. 1917, the Governor forwarded a requisition to Washington for 100 rifles, ammunition, etc., for use of the Kansas City organization; this issue to be used by men on guard duty at the following industrial plants in that city: Na tional Zinc Company, 8 men; Armour & Co., 46 men; Peet Brothers Manufac turing Company, 35 men; Kansas City Soap Company, 2 men; Ismert-Hincke Milling Company, 3 men; Thomas Ruddy Company, 6 men. This requisition was returned by the War Department with the information that the state should advise the Ordnance Department relative to the number of rifles de sired for issue to the entire Home Guard of the state, the War Department desiring to act upon the needs of the Home Guard of the state as an entity. The state authorities delayed action until after the disbandment of the Home Guard. Thus the organization received no arms other than those referred to in the preceding portion of this paragraph. The activities of the Home Guard were largely confined to weekly meet ings and drills, and to individual and organization participation in patriotic movements in the various communities of the state. There was no expense incurred by the state in the organization and maintenance of the Home Guard. By executive order dated February 15. 1918, a reorganization was effected under the designation of ‘‘The Kansas State Guard.” Under the provisions of this order members of the newly created State Guard were subject to call for duty in any part of the state. For this reason many organizations of the Home Guard, whose liability for service under the original organization plan " as limited to duty in the county or city in which their respective units Kansas State Guard. 7 were stationed, did not desire to reorganize and assume the enlarged obli gations of service. The Home Guard ceased to function as an organization on February 15, 1918. and its members and organizations, not desiring to re enroll in the Kansas State Guard, were considered by the state as having been mustered out on that date. The Home Guard was a community organization, with little supervision exercised by the state. No funds were available to meet the expense of clerical hire necessary for the successful operation of a state headquarters for the organization. Such administrative work as was carried on by the state was handled as a secondary matter by state officials and employees whose principal duties lay in other directions. Few reports were required from organizations and few records of value are therefore on file in this department. Those few records, however, indicate the organization of Home Guard units in the state.
THE WYANDOTTE HOME GUARDS. For instance, a delegation of Kansas City men called upon the Governor on August 5, 1917, with a view of securing state or government issue of arms and ammunition for the Home Guard organizations of Wyandotte county, and of obtaining for the organization official state recognition. The attorney general having ruled that under the statutes, if the organization was to func tion as an armed force, it was necessary that specific permission to bear arms be granted by the Governor. The conference held with the party from Kansas City led to the promulgation of the executive order of August 6. 1917, author izing the organization of the Wyandotte Home Guards, with Harry A. Men denhall, mayor of Kansas City, Kan., as commander. A similar executive order was issued from the Governor’s office to cover the organization of each Home Guard unit in the state. By-laws, drawn by the Defense Council and approved by the Governor, were adopted as a model, after which by-laws of all Home Guard units should be patterned. A copy of the executive order authorizing the organization of the Wyandotte Home Guards, together with copy of standard by-laws adopted by the Defense Council, appear below. EXECUTIVE ORDER.

THE KANSAS STATE GUARD. The organization of the Kansas State Guard was authorized by the Governor on February 15, 1918. During the preceding year there had existed in the state a civilian organization known as the Home Guard, a brief history of which is set out in the foregoing pages. A number of causes led to the abolish ment of the Home Guard and its reorganization as the Kansas State Guard. Principal among these causes was the absence of statutory authority for the maintenance of such a force in the state. Questions relative to authority and police power of officers and organizations of the Home Guard were constantly confronting the state officials, and with no definite authority of law for the existence of the organization, these officials were oiten placed in an em barrassing position in solving the problems submitted to them. The control of each unit by a committee composed of civilians, whose interest in many cases was either merely passive or wholly lacking, led to dissatisfaction and inactive organizations. It was believed that through a reorganization the weak companies of the Home guard might be disbanded and the active units formed into an organization of value to the state and community. The original draft of the reorganization plan submitted to the Adjutant General provided for the organization of two infantry regiments of twelve companies each, organization of the regiments to conform to the peace-time organization of like units of the Regular Army. Provision was made tor physical examination of applicants for commission and enlistment in the new force and the rejection of those not physically cpialified for active service. So far as possible, requirements for membership and commission and the obliga tion of the officers and enlisted men were made to conform to regulations governing the National Guard of the state as it existed prior to entry into United States service. It was desired, if possible, to establish a force which might be at some later date easily converted as a National Guard organization. The proposal to limit the number of units of State Guard to be organized, and the requirements for membership, failed to meet the approval of the Adjutant General, and a compromise plan was adopted, providing for the organization of an unlimited number of battalions and separate companies, with no requirement for membership other than that the applicant be a citizen of the United States over the age of eighteen. The organization plan finally adopted and approved by the Governor is set out in Executive Order No. 1, dated February 15, 1918, reading as follows:
State of K ansas, T he Governor's Office, T opeka, February 15, 1918. Executive Order No. 1. 1. Executive order of this office, bearing date of August 5, 1917, is hereby revoked, and the following substituted therefor: 2. The Kansas State Guard shall be subject to the call of the Governor lor active service within the state, and shall be organized and maintained under the following conditions: (a) Object. The object of the formation of the Kansas State Guard shall be to promote, develop and foster loyalty and patriotism for flag and country; to furnish elementary military training and knowledge to its members for the purpose ol enabling them to enter the service in defense of the country when called upon to do so, and to aid and assist in the federal military sen ice locally in such matters as the promotion of enlistments; the raising and Kansas State Guard. 11 distributing of funds for military purposes; to form, constitute and act as a constabulary force in and for the state, county or city in which organized; to perform services for the nation, state or municipality in the protection of property and persons. (b) Organization. Authority for organization of a unit of the Kansas State Guard will be given by the Adjutant General. Whenever it is deemed advisable to organize a company or other unit of the Kansas State Guard, the sheriff of the county, the mayor of the city of the first or second class, or any reliable citizen of the county or city in which it is desired to organize such unit, shall make application to the Adjutant General for authority to organize, setting out in such application the approximate number of applicants for membership in such organization, a statement of the probable moral and financial support to be given to the organization by the community, and such other facts as will be of value in determining the advisability of the organization. (c) D esignation. If deemed advisable by the Adjutant General/units of the Kansas State Guard may be grouped into battalions of four companies. Such battalion shall be designated by number, and the companies com prising such battalion shall be designated by letters, A. B. C and I). Addi tional companies may be attached to such battalions for administrative pur poses, such attached companies to be designated by letters, E, F. G, etc. Separate companies not comprising a part of, or attached to, a battalion shall be designated by letters A, B, C, etc., followed by the name of the county or city in which organized. ( d ) M embership. Every loyal male citizen of the United States over the age of eighteen years shall be eligible to membership in the Kansas State Guard: Provided, That such membership shall be in a unit whose station is within the county of the applicant s residence. (e) Officers. There shall be commissioned by the Governor one Major, commanding oflicer of each battalion, and in addition thereto, for each battal ion, one Captain (adjutant), one Captain (supply officer), and one Captain (surgeon). In each company there shall be commissioned one Captain, one First Lieutenant, and one Second Lieutenant. (/) Organization of Companies. It is recommended that companies be organized with the following personnel: 1 Captain, commanding. 2 Cooks. 1 First Lieutenant. 2 Musicians. 1 Second Lieutenant. 1 Artificer. 1 First Sergeant. 48 Privates. 1 Quartermaster Sergeant. 4 Sergeants. 68 Total.

(h) Regular meetings of each organization of the Kansas State Guard shall be held at least four times each month, on such dates and at such hours and places as may be designated by the executive committee. Special meetings may be called at any time. (?) Attention is called to the state and federal laws prohibiting unauthor ized organizations to bear arms, and emphasizing the necessity of obtaining authority of the Governor before armed organizations can be allowed.

I 12 Adjutant General’s Department. 1 The state’s interest in the new organization was immediately reflected in the various communities of the state. Men active in public affairs throughout the state gave to the organization their heartiest support and encouragement. Public meetings were held in hundreds of towns of the state and scores of companies were immediately recruited. In many instances the muster-in of the new companies was made a public ceremony of importance in the com-
munitv.* Chambers of commerce, community clubs and similar bodies pledged their moral and financial support to the organization, and funds were raised by popular subscription for the purchase of uniforms for many companies. Notwithstanding an opinion of the attorney-general that such action was con trary to law, county commissioners in a number of counties voted public funds for purchase of equipment for units of the State Guard. Instances ot this character are cited as an evidence of the enthusiasm with which the or ganizations were supported in many communities of the state. In the judgment of those interested in reorganization of the Home Guard, it was believed probable that approximately fifty companies of State Guard could be organized in the state. This number of organizations was recruited within a few days after organization was authorized. The hundred mark was soon passed. In all, 281 companies of State Guard were organized, with an average membership per company of sixty-five men. It is probable that during the existence of the State Guard, from its organization on February 15, 1918. to its muster-out on November 11 of the following year, at least 20.000 men served in the organization. The numerous organizations and large personnel made it impossible for the state headquarters, with the few clerks authorized for the work, to administer the organization in the manner neces sary to secure the best results. A great number of the organizations were uni formed at personal or public expense. Weekly drills, by company or battalion, were held. Men anticipating induction into United States service under the selective-service law joined the organization in order to benefit by such military instruction as might be imparted by its officers. The desire to take an active part in patriotic movements in their community induced many men to join the organization. In the public mind, every citizen was expected to become active in some war work, and the State Guard offered to many citizens the opportunity of giving public testimony of their patriotism. In peace time, an organization of this character, offering no financial returns for the time devoted to its activities, would probably have failed in the initial stages of its development. The entire character and viewpoint of the people of the state was so changed by the war that little was required to stir them into a patriotic fervor, the only outlet lor which was to join some organization engaged in warlike activities. Lack of military equipment greatly hampered the organizations in their desire to assume a military appearance and to give color to the organization’s claim of being state troops. Innumerable inquiries were received at the state headquarters relative to the possibility of securing arms for the various com panies. The Russian revolution left the United States’ ordnance department with several million military rifles on hand, manufactured under orders from the imperial government, the shipment of which had been held up pending establishment of a stable government in that country. Information having been received from the War Department that these rifles were available for issue to Home and State Guard organizations of the various states, requisition Kansas State Guard. 13 was forwarded to Washington, and 1.273 rifles, with a large quantity of ammu nition. were received by the state. A few of these rifles were shipped out to two or three companies of the State Guard as trial issues. It was later decided, however, that the better policy would be to hold the remainder of the ship ment in original packing cases in the state arsenal, rather than to distribute the entire lot among the organizations. The Governor had assumed respon sibility for the proper care and ultimate return of the rifles to the government, and it was found after a short trial that rifles furnished the organizations were in certain cases not given the care necessary to keep them in serviceable con dition. A few months after the armistice, guns in the hands of organizations were recalled, and on April 30, 1919, the.entire lot was returned to the govern ment arsenal. On May 4. 1918, authority was received from the War Department for the organization in Kansas of two regiments of National Guard infantry. Circular letters, setting out the requirements for organization and membership in the National Guard, were mailed out to all State Guard units, it being the desire of the department to recruit the National Guard from among the units of the State Guard then existing in the state. The War Department having an nounced that the newly organized National Guard units would not be called for sendee overseas, it was considered that many of the State Guard units would probably embrace the opportunity of entering the sendee of the state and nation as members of a military force recognized by the government and fully equipped and maintained at state and government expense. Much to the surprise and disappointment of those interested in the organization of the National Guard, the opportunity of entering the National Guard service met with little response from members of the State Guard units. In some localities of the state in which recruiting for the National Guard was begun there was evidence of an undercurrent of antagonism on the part of officers and en listed men of the State Guard. Of the 281 companies of State Guard there were but six companies whose entire eligible membership was enlisted in the National Guard. The remaining units were mustered out on November 11, 1919, by order of the Governor. The activities of the State Guard were confined to participation in weekly drills, patriotic parades, assistance in Liberty Loan, Red Cross and kindred “drives,” instruction of men anticipating early induction into the army, and in a few cases to the furnishing of guard details for property protection. Other than such expense as was incurred for postage and clerical hire at state head quarters, and for the transportation of rifles and ammunition referred to in a preceding paragraph, the maintenance of the State Guard was without ex pense to the state. The duties performed were rendered voluntarily and without pay, and such expenses as were incurred by the organization were met bv personal or community contributions. The Governors proclamation demobilizing the State Guard was signed on October 15, 1919. Copy of this proclamation, together with copies of orders from this office providing for the closing of records and affairs of the various units, the organization's participation in the Armistice Day celebration, and the designation of the official service button, follow: 14 Adjutant General’s Department.
PROCLAMATION DIRECTING DEMOBILIZATION.
KANSAS STATE GUARD.
W hereas, There has come to my attention the very general desire on the part of the members ot the Kansas State Guard tor demobilization; and W hereas, The cessation of the war having brought about such return to normal conditions that their services are no longer needed, I have chosen November 11, 1919, as the date upon which the demobilization of the Kansas State Guard shall be complete. The Kansas State Guard came into existence as a voluntary organization during the war, and at a time when there were many opportunities for it to serve the state. Its presence was a guaranty against disorder that might arise in Kansas communities during the war. It gave great assistance in the various patriotic drives which were necessary during these trying periods. It stood al ways as an exponent of Americanism and the patriotic performance ot duty. Many men subject to draft received their first training in its ranks, and went from the State Guard better prepared for the army activities because ot the training and experience in this state organization. During the various cele brations in honor of the soldiers returning from overseas, the State Guard has served with dignity and effectiveness. In giving this direction for its final demobilization, I wish to record the gratitude of the state for the splendid services which the State Guard has rendered in peculiar times. It was one of the absolutely necessary organiza tions of the war, and its voluntary membership gave to the duties of the or ganization, which were often exacting, unselfish and untiring energies. I n W itness W hereof, I have caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Kansas. Done at the state capitol, in the city of Topeka, this loth day of October, 1919. H enry J.

Considerable difficulty was experienced in securing action on the part of company commanders in completing discharges for members of the State Guard mustered out on November 11, 1919. in pursuance of proclamation of the Governor. Of the 281 companies organized, commanding officers of 50 companies failed to complete muster-out rolls and discharges for their com mand. Concerning these companies the records of the Adjutant General’s office are, therefore, incomplete, no evidence of final discharge being on file. The provisions of the Governor s proclamation fixing the date of final muster- out and discharge as of November 11, 1919, govern the matter, however, and service of officers and men in the State Guard is considered to have been terminated on that date. The roster of Kansas State Guard units, organized during the period from February 15, 1918, to November 11, 1919, furnishing muster-out rolls, is set forth below. Kansas State Guard. 17

ACTIVITIES. During its two years service, about 240 were enlisted in its ranks, and received various terms of military training, many of whom went into the United States army and navy, some into the National Guard, while others removing from the city carried their enthusiasm and experience to other units. What constitutes a body of well disciplined men have continued in the service with a full complement of officers to answer as their names were called at final muster-out roll call.

Company “ B,” 9th Battalion, Topeka— Concluded.
During its active service, over 100 regular company drills were held in which infantry drill was fairly well mastered and put into weekly practice. The officers held frequent noncommissioned officers schools and the promotions were made upon proficiency and term of service. In addition to its weekly (often twice a week) drills, Company B participated in over forty special patriotic events, sometimes with the entire battalion; but often alone, when the other companies could not respond. These special occasions were parades, the guarding of troop trains, etc., incident to the going-away and the home-coming of soldiers, and in the many World War, Liberty loan, Bed Cross drive campaigns, and Armistice and victory celebrations. During the influenza epidemic, fall and winter of 1918-1919, Company B furnished the military escort, volley firing detail and bugler for full military honors at the funerals of nu merous United States soldiers brought to Topeka for burial; and this was often at a time when the epidemic was so severe that indoor services were not held and only services at the grave permitted. Company B furnished one major, five captains, eight lieutenants, two battalion color ser geants, three battalion supply sergeants, and one battalion sergeant major for state guard serv ice, while several went from the company who obtained commissions and warrants in the United States army. During its entire service. Company B maintained a complete and ever-ready unit of Kan sas militia; and it never failed to respond to any call of duty, although it often caused much personal and business sacrifice. While not permitted to go overseas it tried to keep “ the home fires burning,” and is proud of its record in having given the elementary military training to almost one hundred young men who went from its ranks into United States military service, some of whom served upon the historic battle fields of France. Company B will always look back with satisfaction upon its humble service during the great World War, not because of what it did, but as to what it was willing to do had oppor tunity offered.

ACTIVITIES. I he Kens ngton home guards were mustered into the sen ice of the state as the Kensing ton State Guards on April 16, 1018. As the company had no funds available at the time of its organization, the individual members purchased their own uniforms and about three- fourths of the members purchased old army Springfields, so that the company was really an armed force and were able to master the “ Manual of Arms.” The company was active in the various Liberty loans and Red Cross drives, and especially were we in evidence at the Red Cross auction at which over $4,000 was raised in Kensington and vicinity. At the signing of the armistice the company had charge of the big community celebration. A grand barbecue was planned, at which the company roasted a large ox, erected stands and accreditably served the mass of people gathered to vent their enthusiasm. Over $300 was raised for the Red Cross. The event of tlie evening was the burning of the Kaiser’s palace. Our company enjoyed the distinction of having one of the best bands in the state. This band, believing that they could be of greater s?rvice enlisted in the navy, and after a short term of training at the Great Lakes naval station they were chosen for service aboard the S. S. George Washington, which carried President Wilson and his party to and from Europe. 70 Adjutant General’s Department.

ACTIVITIES. This company took part as an organization in several service flag c remonies at various churches over the county, and a patriotic service field in Smith Center, in June, 1018, at the time of the laying of tlie corner stone of the new court house. The organization stood guard with full company on the night of November -5, 1918, dur ing celebration of the signing of the Armistice in Smith Center; attended twelve soldiers’ funerals in this county, giving such soldiers a full military burial, and going as far as the east side of Smith county to give one soldier his last rites. The majority of this company showed a full willingness to give of their time and energy in any sacrifice necessary to build and maintain a high conception of the patriotic duties owed to their country, and to the brave boys in the service of their country. We materially assisted in developing in the hearts of all of our citizens of this community that fine spirit of sacrifice and assistance which was characteristic of all true American citizens, and, I believe, this com pany deserves special mention and credit for their part in moulding public sentiment in this community.

ACTIVITIES. Company C took part, as an organization, in several flag ceremonies at the churches in the communities where the members resided, and had charge of Pawnee and Cora townships in Smith county in the drive for funds for the united war workers and made a creditable showing. The unit stood guard, together with Company B, at Smith Center on the night of No vember 11, 1018. With the exception of three or four members, this company was composed of farmers. Consider ng the shortage of help (luring the season of 1018, and the size and kinds of crops, tlie company des rves special praise for their devotion to the cause. When men have worked I arc! all day and all week, it takes one hundred per cent Americanism to inspire them to drive from five to ten miles to drill two or three hours of an evening, or on Sunday after noons. Iaken altogether, it is surprising that the attendance was as good as it was and gratifying to the officers that the organization made the progress it did. Kansas State Guard. 73

ACTIVITIES. While our Company E was not yet mustered in, we were organized, had our uniforms, and assisted in the third Liberty loan drive. The entire canvass for the fourth Liberty loan was conducted by our company. In all the drives in our locality we raised more than our quota. All our members were members of the Red Cross, and as an organization, we assisted in raising the quota and also in the '‘Seven-in-One" drive. We conducted a military funeral to a soldier who died in Camp Funston and was buried at Winona. We took an active part Memorial days and Fourth of July celebrations. Our company appeared in uniform at all public gatherings that were in any way related to the war, and on one occasion when Gover nor Capper spoke at our hall. W e furnished an escort to Sharon Springs where the governor spoke in the evening. Company E always participated in the farewell or home-coming recep tions given the soldiers, and encouraged and assisted in enlistments among our own company and among others. Four of our men entered the service, one of whom is overseas at this time. In certain localities pro-Germans, anti-war agitators, and slackers were numerous and through the efforts of our guard, these people gained a wholesome respect for our government and came forward and did their part financially in the prosecution of the war. 78 Adjutant General’s Department.

ACTIVITIES. Company C, 16th Battalion, Kansas State Guard was mustered into state service publicly on May 6, 1918, at a community meeting, and commenced its activities by drilling two and one-half hours each week, preparing for any emergency that might arise demanding their services, and by continuing such drills the company became efficient in the duties of the soldier. On May 30, 1918, the company took part in the Decoration exercises at Bucklin, Kan., leading the procession to the Bucklin cemetery and firing a military, salute in honor of the dead soldiers. On September 12, 1918, the task of registering the eighteen- to twenty-one-year-old reg istrants in the Ford district was left to the company, and Captain Vernie C. Robb, command ing the company, was legally appointed as chief registrar, and was in supervision of the reg istration. The company was also given charge of drilling and giving military instructions to the reg istered men before they were called to camp, and all registrants in the vicinity of Bloom, Kingsdown, Bucklin, and Ford, Kansas, were instructed to report at the armory of the com pany for instructions and drill each week until they were called to camp. The company participated in the several drives for the war activities, such as the Red •Cross, Liberty loans, Y. M . C. A., U. W . W . campaigns, and thrift-stamp sales, and took an active interest in promoting enlistments in the army. Company C, Ford's unit of the 16th Battalion, Kansas State Guard, reported for duty at the armory, Thursday morning, October 8, 1918, at 7 a. m., and left for camp at Wright park in Dodge City, Kan., in the face of a prospective rain, which fortunately failed to dampen the spirits of the men. The advance guard of the company reached camp at 8:30 and found that Company A of Dodge City had been putting in the early hours to good effect in erecting tents and getting the grounds in some semblance of order. The morning was spent in stak ing down tents and policing the company street; the work was not very appealing to most of the boys, but it gave them a fine appetite for the chow, which the efficient kitchen force handed out at noon. In the afternoon the regular routine work of an army camp was taken yPt guard lines were established, and guards posted, who were in the main very efficient. Guard mounting the first day was held at 4 :30 p. in., with Lieutenant Lyons of Company C as officer of the day. Guards were posted for the night, and it was soon time for mess call, 'vhich was answered with great enthusiasm. The battalion was formed before Major Richard ” • Evans at 7 p. m., and with the exception of the guards they went into Dodge City and did police duty at the war trophy train sent out by the government in the interest of the fourth Liberty loan. It was estimated that over five thousand visited the train which the •company assisted in handling and passing through the train. By midnight a reasonable de- 84 Adjutant General's Department.

Military discipline was more of evidence the second day. During the day Captain Surgeon Coffman received word from Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the State Board of Health that the government had signed a proclamation which would close all public gatherings for some time on account of the epidemic of Spanish influenza, and orders were promptly issued closing the camp to visitors and stopped the guards from leaving camp except on passes issued by the major. As soon as the quarantine was placed upon the camp, arrangements were made to break up the encampment, and the following day the company left for the armory in Ford, Kan., arriving at 11 a. m., October 10. 1018. The company was active in participating in parades and observing all patriotic movements, as well as assisting the local board of the county in handling the registrants when they were called to camp.

Company B, Kansas State Guards, was composed of the common labor ng class. On in quiry I learn that about sixty per cent of my men bought Liberty bonds of different denomi nations. Nearly all joined the Red Cross, and were active in all movements to aid in winning the war. Lieutenant Kimbrough and myself were special war deputies and we had the men to look sharp after pro-Germanism. The company was drilled regularly twice a week all summer and fall until the influenza broke in on us. Company B was considered one of the best drilled units in the county. W e performed no guard duty as there was none to do. The men were loyal, and could be depended on in any emergency. Kansas State Guard. 95 C ompany “C,” 19th B attalion, Morganville.

Except for a few military funerals this organization took part in no war activities of a public nature, but its influence upon the community was far-reaching. By giving public drills and attending public gatherings, as an organization, it did much to quell the pro-German propaganda and at the same time arouse the dormant patriotism of our citizens. Many of the boys who went to the army received valuable preliminary training in our company. We feel that in a measure we have kept the faith of our fathers. 96 Adjutant General’s Department.

Company A held semiweekly drills. A weekly noncommissioned officers’ school was held. A good interest was manifested by the personnel. During the later months, drill work was interfered with seriously by the influenza epidemic which prevailed. A fair degree of efficiency was reached in the drill movements. The members looked eagerly toward the time when they should be provided with arms, but they were disappointed in not receiving them. The com pany was fully uniformed and the expense of the same was borne by each individual member. The company participated in several Liberty loan and Red Cross campaigns, battalion pa rades at Lyons, Sterling and Aldun, and took a very prominent part in a local “ peace cele bration.” The company served as police on Hallowe’en night, 1918, for the city of Sterling, and conducted one military funeral for a local soldier boy, who died in camp, and one for their own deceased member.

Company B, 24th Battalion, always turned out well to drills and the members seemed to take a great interest in the same. There was to be a “home coming” or county fair at Lyons on October 17, 18 and 19, 1918, at which there was to be prizes given to the best drilled company of Rice county. Of course, company B expected to win the first prize and were working hard for it by drilling every night for three weeks previous, but the “ home coming” was called off on account of the quarantine in October, 1918.

The organization, also, conducted military funerals for two boys, of this place, who made the supreme sacrifice for our country, and attended the memorial services at the church and cemetery as a unit, and did the honors for our country’s dead in a creditable way. I am sure that company B would have shown the same spirit, had the opportunity pre sented itself as it did to our boys in the Argonne.

Company A was originally organized on December 14, 1017, as the Seneca Home Guard, through the activity of its first captain, Clifford W. Baldwin, and continued as a company of the Home Guard until it was mustered in as a company of the Kansas State Guard, on April 14, 1918, Clifford W . Baldwin having been commissioned captain, who. together with Second Lieutenant Lon H. M. Williams and First Lieutenant Albert A. Reichart, subsequently re signed. Thereupon Lon H. M. Williams was commissioned captain and took charge of the company, with John Emery as first lieutenant and Roy D . Carpenter as second lieutenant. Upon the formation of the 27th Battalion, Kansas State Guard, Captain H. M. Williams was commissioned major, and Frank L. Geary was commissioned captain and took charge of the company. Company A saw no active service and was not called upon for any service of a public nature other than guarding and assisting in a large Red Cross auction, and visiting a few who had refused to contribute to the allied war drive, because of the signing of the Armistice. Through our explanations and suggestions we obtained a largely increased, if reluctant, contri bution to the fund. Twelve members of the organization enlisted, or were inducted into military service; 6even additional young men enlisted in the S. A. T . C. and since the date of the muster-out of the company, four other members have enlisted in the regular army. Kansas State Guard. 127 C o m p a n y “ B ," 27th B a t t a l i o n , Sabetha.

Company F participated in a Red Cross sale which was held at Inman in May, 1918. It was a decided success and was due mostly to the hard work of the company. The unit, also, took an active part in the various drives in the interest of the Red Cross, Liberty loans and other war activities. In August, 1918, the Guard went on a seven mile hike to the Little Arkansas river, where the boys receiver! a little touch of camp life. The company had charge of the celebration on signing of the Armistice. A big bonfire in the evening and the band of our organization gave a concert. On Memorial Day, 1918, the guard marched to the cemetery and decorated the old soldiers’ graves and held short services. The guard also conducted a military funeral on April 1 for an old veteran, William K. Heller, who passed away on March 31. 156 Adjutant General’s Department. H eadquarters, 35th Battalion, Mankato.

Shortly after this, because of the epidemic of contagious disease, a ban was placed on the community by the local board of health prohibiting public gatherings. After this ban was lifted the company met regularly in school of instruction and interior guard duty. The company took part in two battalion re views. As opportunity offered the company participated in Red Cross activities, and took the leading part at home in peace celebrations, also away from home. The organization took an active part in six funerals of deceased soldiers, and rendered every service possible. Kansan State Guard. C ompany ‘T ),” 44th Battalion, Columbus.

Kansas State Guard, was called upon to perform guard duty at nights at the library in this city, which was at that time headquart rs for the Cowley chap ter of the Red Cross. This duty was performed throughout the spring and summer of 1918. The company was also called out upon s “veral occasion to do guard duty over the mills and wholesale groceries of the city upon occasions which were deemed advisable. As the indi viduals of the organization were n arly all m mbers of the local committee to work for the Liberty loans. Red Cross and other campaigns, the organization did not take part in any of th se campaigns as a unit. The company was also called out for duty in connection with the work of these campaigns, at one time to perform guard duty and handle the crowd at a war exhibition train, and at another time to guard a government airship which remained in town some twenty-four hours. All other work was of a routine nature, the company drilling one* a week regularly, until after the Armistice was signed. A good attendance was the rule and consequently the men progressed nicely in close order drill and were given considerable work in extension order formation, guard duty, etc. 1G— 4436
