I<$r II,:>",~ Brand Whitlock Of aJI individuals whose lives influenced our community's history, none showed more genuine courage in the face of extreme political stress or more concern about economic and judicial reform than Brand Whiclock, whose life began in 1869 at 510 S. Main Street in Urbana. The son of a United Methodist minister and grandson of Joseph Carter Brand, Whiclock is remembered in history as America's first Ambassador to Belgium, author of 18 books and the four• term, patiene yet courageous reform mayor of Toledo, Ohio. His first career was news reporting, and he wrote for newspapers in the Toledo area as well as the Chicago Tribune. Whiclock then moved into law, passing the bar examination in 1897 and eventually opening an office in Toledo. A crusader for humanized legal procedure and prison reform, he was elected mayor and served eight years -- constantly blasted with controversy over his attempts to reform what he viewed as a corrupt municipal government. In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson appointed him United States Minister to Belgium, and he served the nation during the challenging years of World War 1. Whitlock died in Cannes, France, May 24, 1934. In 1943, our nation recognized his lifelong work by christening the S. S. Brand Whitlock in Wilmington, Calif. In the early 193 Os, during his last years, Whitlock wrote this about our community: "What one wanes at Christmas is the kind of snowstorms we used to have in Ohio, and a clear cold night of i, mystery and wonder, with sparkling stars and the light showing through the stained glass windows of 1\ \, the church, just as one wished to see it on Christmas cards. I could get quite sentimental about it and longing for it. And sometimes I have visions of going back to Urbana and looking for it." "~ll'\~.\.

Doctoral Dissertations. 466. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/466 Rough and Ready Relief: American Identity, Humanitarian Experience, and the Commission for Relief in Belgium, 1914-1917 Thomas David Westerman, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2014 This dissertation examines a group of American men who adopted and adapted notions of American power for humanitarian ends in German-occupied Belgium with the Commission for Relief in Belgium (CRB) during World War I. The CRB, led by Herbert Hoover, controlled the importation of relief goods and provided supervision of the Belgian-led relief distribution. The young, college-educated American men who volunteered for this relief work between 1914 and 1917 constructed an effective and efficient humanitarian space for themselves by drawing not only on the power of their neutral American citizenship, but on their collectively understood American-ness as able, active, yet responsible young men serving abroad, thereby developing an alternative tool—the use of humanitarian aid—for the use and projection of American power in the early twentieth century. Drawing on their letters, diaries, recollections as well as their official reports on their work and the situation in Belgium, this dissertation argues that the early twentieth century formation of what we today understand to be non-state, international humanitarianism was partially established by Americans exercising explicit and implicit national power during the years of American neutrality in World War I.

The Foreign Service Journal, January 1931
JUfto gear’s! (greeting^ THE AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL DEPARTMENT OF STATE WASHINGTON, D. C. December 15, 1930. During the past year I have renewed my personal expe¬ rience with Foreign Service in the field. As an envoy to Nicaragua three years ago I came into contact with mem¬ bers of the Service, sharing many of their problems, and last winter as Head of the American Delegation in London I renewed that experience. I know what it is to make re¬ ports to Washington. 1 realize what it means to wait for answers. I have come in contact with the necessary organi¬ zation of a Mission, with the manifold problems which arise in dealing with the nationals of a country of which you are a resident and with foreign colleagues. All this experience has increased my appreciation of the problems and my esti¬ mate of the men in the Service who deal with them. I regard it as one of my principal functions to help increase their efficiency and lighten their burdens. I rejoice particu¬ larly in the evidence that has come to me of the increased morale in the Service during the past year. As a fellow- worker in these problems I send you my New Year’s greet¬ ings and wish you a happy continuance of your interesting and valuable work and a constant betterment of the condi¬ tions under which it is performed.

It is certain that the people in the occupied cities of Lille, Roubaix, and Tourcoing received less news than before the occupation, and most of the news they did receive came from an untrusted source, namely the German occupiers. However, research for this dissertation reveals that the cities at the urban heart of northern France, Lille, Roubaix, and Tourcoing, received more news than historians previously have believed. Research for this dissertation comprised of reviewing all the sources available in Lille, Roubaix, and Tourcong during the occupation, which included German-controlled newspapers produced in France and Belgium, a short-lived clandestine press, and newspapers published outside the occupied zone covertly imported into the cities.
