l I 4 4 THE ULMUS OUR BOYS WITH THE COLORS. Elmwood has always responded loyally to her country's call. ln the Civil War our county ranked among the first in the state in enlistments. We were also well represented in the Spanish-American War of l898: and now in this greatest of all wars, Illinois and Elmwood are showing their usual patriotism by sending thousands of young men to the colors. In the spring of l9l6, in the Mexican trouble, some fourteen of our young men displayed true patriotism by speedy enlistment. And, when, April 6, l9l7. the United States government formally declared a state of war to exist with the Central Powers of Europe. anew quota was added to those already enlisted in the National Guard and Regular Army, which has steadily increased to its present number of forty-seven. And Elmwood is firmly back- ing each and every man as shown by the prompt over-subscription of the first, second and third Liberty Loans, and our work in the Red Cross and- Y. M. C. A. The roster of our boys with the colors is now as follows: Lawrence Walton Lieut. Clifford Lott Leroy Watkins Earl Kelly Harry Reed Ted Kelly Capt. Dean Jay Will Watts Oliver Gregory Lieut. Neal Higgins B. H. Crandall Lieut. Roy Gore Lieut. Paul Clinch Capt. Tracy Baker Gilman Davidson Charles McCarty Paul Sampson Leonard Knox Ralph Wiley Walter Mannock john Stevens John Endres George Waters Robert Defenbaugh Lee Miles Hugh Cooper lrvin Dalton Howell Snyder Robert Higgins Clifton Humphrey Percy Deulin Edwin Boland Wm.
