    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY Volume LI JUNE,1955 Number 2 Hoosier Senior Naval Officers in World War I1 John B. Heffermn* Indiana furnished an exceptional number of senior of- ficers to the United States Navy in World War 11, and her sons were in the very forefront of the nation’s battles, as casualty lists and other records testify. The official sum- mary of casualties of World War I1 for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, covering officers and men, shows for Indiana 1,467 killed or died of wounds resulting from combat, 32 others died in prison camps, 2,050 wounded, and 94 released prisoners of war. There were in the Navy from Indiana 9,412 officers (of this number, probably about 6 per- cent or 555 were officers of the Regular Navy, about 10 per- cent or 894 were temporary officers promoted from enlisted grades of the Regular Navy, and about 85 percent or 7,963 were Reserve officers) and 93,219 enlisted men, or a total of 102,631. In the Marine Corps a total of 15,360 officers and men were from Indiana, while the Coast Guard had 229 offic- ers and 3,556 enlisted men, for a total of 3,785 Hoosiers. Thus, the overall Indiana total for Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard was 121,776. By way of comparison, there were about 258,870 Hoosiers in the Army.l There is nothing remarkable about the totals and Indiana’s representation in the Navy was not exceptional in quantity; but it was extraordinary in quality.

Kollektive Sicherheit statt Kräftegleichgewicht. Präsident Wilson und die amerikanischen Friedensziele in der Phase der Neutralität Die Vereinigten Staaten traten am 6. April 1917 unter Präsident Thomas Woodrow Wilson in den Ersten Weltkrieg ein. Wilson, bis 1910 Professor und Präsident der Princeton-Universität, danach Gouverneur im Staat New Jersey, war 1912 als demokra- tischer Kandidat zum US-Präsidenten gewählt worden.1 Rhetorisch hochbegabt, legte er während des Krieges mit Idealismus und Sendungsbewußtsein die Grundlagen für eine führende Rolle der USA in der Weltpolitik, schuf die politische und ideologische Vor- aussetzung für das "amerikanische Jahrhundert".2 In seinen Reden der Jahre 1916 und 1917 und in den sogenannten Fourteen Points, Four Principles und Five Particulars des Jahres 1918 entwarf Wilson sein Friedensziel einer freiheitlichen Friedensordnung glo- baler Reichweite. Wilsons Friedensplan bildete formal und inhaltlich die Grundlage und den Maßstab für die Anrufung der USA durch die deutsche Regierung am 3. Oktober 1918, mit Abstri- chen auch für die Friedensziele der Ententemächte sowie schließlich für die letzte Note der US-Regierung an Deutschland vom 5. November 1918. Diese nach dem amerikani- schen Außenminister benannte Lansing-Note, häufig als Vorwaffenstillstandsabkom- men ("pre-Armistice-agreement") bezeichnet, bahnte den Weg zum Waffenstillstand am 11.

(August 2005) Ryan David Wadle, B. A., Iowa State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. James Bradford The U.S. Navy first took official notice of aviation in 1910, but its development of carrier aviation lagged behind Great Britain’s until the 1920s. The first American aircraft carrier, the Langley, commissioned in 1919, provided the Navy with a valuable platform to explore the potential uses of carrier aviation, but was usually limited to scouting and fleet air defense in the U.S. Navy’s annual interwar exercises called fleet problems. This began to change in 1929 with the introduction of the carriers Lexington and Saratoga in Fleet Problem IX.
