In addition to the half a regiment
that Harrisburg gave to the United
States army in the formation OF the
Natic.ai Guard of Pennsylvania into
the keystone division and the hun
dreds of men who enlisted in the
regular army, the navy, marine corps
and various special branches of the
united services during the war
Dauphin county sent in 3431 men
under the selective service act. OF
this number 1857 were from the
city. Dauphin county registered
36,629 men for military service, the
city registering 1S,473.
Through the patriotism of the
men who entered the army through
the National Guard or enlistments
in the military or naval establish
ments Harrisburg was one of three
cities of Pennsylvania exempt under
the first draft. Harrisburg had
gross quota of S11 with credits of
Ss7. The three Dauphin districts
were called upon for S62 men and
had credits of 276, making their first
quota $50. The quotas were abol-
ished after the first draft. Many
men who went from here could not
be listed and the credits would have
been much higher had the system
continued.
The manner in which the draft
operated in Dauphin county was
very successful. Two of the Dau-
phin districts, Nos. and 8, made
special efforts to train and instruct
men, winning high compliment from
army officers. They were among the
first to name boards of instruction.
The number of men inducted,
rejected and retained under the
draft in Dauphin county was as

Desperate, indeed, was the situation of
Germany's eastern front at the begin
ming of November, 1914 Despite the be-
nenkampf, despite all the efforts of the
Czarina and her German ring in Petro-
grad, Grand Duke Nicholas was close
to the border of Siiesia and Posen with
the vanguard of an army of more than
a million men The Austrians had once
more crumbled and could not be relied
upon to withstand a new blow. The Ger
man armies in the west were still strug-
Cling to overcome the French and Brit
sh, and could not send much aid. Luden-
dorff had insufficient troops for a stand
up fight against the hordes that would
be thrown against him.
He makes no bones of this situation. His
judgment of it led him to order prepa-
rations for wholesale devastation in the
German provinces. The coal mines OF
Silesia were to be destroyed as ruthlessly
as those of Lens were toward the end
of the war; and the industrial works of
this great producing region were to be
useless. Only the Intervention of higher
authority prevented him from acting on
these plans.
Ludendorff we'll knew what such de-
struction would mean to Germany, Silesia
and Poland were the mainstays of many
of the industries necessary for contin-
uance of the war and the Silesian coal
fields supplied their fuel only in an ex
tremity of apprehension would he con-
slider laying waste such vital organs of
the military machine.
One chance remained to save the stu
alton BY a gigantic gamble he could
hope to strike the Grand Duke a fatal
blow before the Russians could get ready
to advance into Germany. This risk
Ludendorff took. 1t was the early fore
runner of that gambling strategy which
brought his downfall in the west in 1918.
Firstly in his retreat from Warsaw
he had destroyed all communications
with scientific precision Explosives had
heen placed in all roads, railroads and
