US Changes In 23 Years; This War Is Different
Take it from an old timer-he was 92 years old at that time-the first world war was different from World War No.2.
Back in 1917, when Woodrow Wilson went before the senators and representatives, there weren't 90 million Americans listening to him before loudspeakers and public address systems. Not that the 100 millions of Americans weren't vitally interested —simply that there weren't facilities then for bringing the president's voice to the nation. In other words—radio hadn't been developed.
You might have been out riding, just as you may have been when war opened in the Pacific. But you were not spinning along well-paved highways—at least, not if you were in Kansas, for at that time, Kansas had about three miles of pavement, if memory doesn't play tricks—outside the city limits, in the entire state. Besides, you weren't zooming along at 60 miles an hour.
If you were riding, it was likely to be in a Model T. Ford—probably a touring car, with no self-starter, and your maximum speed was probably not more than 25 or 30 miles an hour, road conditions permitting.
Near of Invasion Worried Some
Airplanes were a curiosity—the Secretary of the Navy, who was Newton D. Baker then, didn't fly over to France to see what sort of damage was being done. There weren't any panies from air raids, but there was a panic a little later when German submarines were reported off the Massachusetts coast and everybody along the coast was worried about invaders.
Tires weren't rationed, but food was. When your mother bought the family groceries, she had to plan meatless and wheatless meals two or three times a week. Sugar went to $30 a hundred pounds. Gasoline climbed to a similar figure. The food administration urged everybody to "eat what you can, and what you can't eat—can!"
When you bought a sack of flour, you also bought a supplementary sack of rye flour, or oatmeal, or corn meal. You ate it too, but you didn't necessarily like it. But it was all in the course of fighting a war, and few people grumbled.
War savings stamps could be converted into Baby Bonds—denominations of $5 each, payable—if our
memory is correct again—in five years. During the war, five Liberty bond drives were staged—and over-subscribed.
The familiar red, white and blue service flags appeared in windows of nearly every home; and there were gold stars in some of the service flags, denoting that some one in that home had given more than bonds—more than his services—his life.
Moviegoers were seeing "The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin," and "To Hall with the Kaiser!"—silent, of course. Phonographs were blaring "Over There," "Oh, How I hate to get up in the Morning," "Keep the Home Fires Burning," and the boys in the army were singing "K-K-Katy," "Hinky Dinky Parley-voo," and others. Civil war favorites, such as "Johnny, Get Your Gun," and "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," were revived and sung enthusiastically.
America Finished the War
Camp Funston mushroomed into being much the same as it did in 1940. National guard units were set up in camp in their own home towns, until facilities could be provided for them in the larger camps.
Women became farmerettes, donned the forerunner of slacks, and aided in the fight. Woman suffrage hadn't come about, and skirts were still somewhere around the ankles. Those feminine accoutrements were considered very, very daring.
But one thing was certain, just as it is today—America entered upon its job of finishing off the war with its customary united spirit, and with every facility at its command.
Union Travel Bureau Asks More Cars For Xmas Rides
Students and faculty members are asked to turn in requests for rides and passengers for Christmas vacation trips to the Union Travel Bureau. More cars are needed, especially those traveling toward Minnesota and New York City.
Persons requesting rides will be notified if there are any opportunities. Passengers and drivers must make their own arrangements, as the Bureau acts only as a ride agent.
Requests for passengers or rides may be left at the Student Union Activities office in the sub-basement of the Memorial Union building.
