The search for reliable information regarding the war's progress and impact, especially on the German people brought a flurry of responses from the papers, their editorials and letters to the editor. On the one hand, the concern surfaced that America was underprepared and could not resist an invasion of the type that rocked Europe's borders. On the other hand, it became the duty of people here in Marshfield to help those suffering in Germany. Throughout late September and into October 1914, German social organizations in the city pulled together to raise money and ship food and clothing to families and veteran's groups in Germany. "United in bonds of common sympathy for the widows, the orphaned children and the wounded soldiers, noted the Marshfield Times, "members of the Marshfield Kriger-Verein and the German-American Alliance have set out to raise a large fund for relief of the suffering and destitute in the Fatherland which has been caused by the Great European War." Yet this campaign was done "quietly" throughout the city and state, surreptitiously to avoid the glare of publicity and accusations of violating American's official stance of neutrality. Marshfield residents benefited from the American Express's offer to ship Christmas presents overseas free of charge, so long as the gifts were packed and ready to ship by November 3, 1914 and were clearly marked as "Christmas Gifts for Children of Europe."
