The Espionage Act?s sordid WWI origins

espionage act cartoon

The FBI?investigation?into possible Espionage Act violations by former President Donald Trump?has sparked curiosity about the World War I-era law. The Espionage Act was passed by Congress and signed by President Woodrow Wilson in a climate of xenophobia and anti-Red hysteria in 1917, the year the U.S. entered WWI. But because many Americans opposed fighting in what they viewed as a war between European colonial powers, Congress included provisions allowing the federal government to crack down on dissent.

Doughboy MIA for September 2022

Edward Michael McAvoy [ [link removed] ]

A man is only missing if he is forgotten.

Our Doughboy MIA this month [ [link removed] ] this time around is a man we just searched for in August:?PVT Edward Michael McAvoy ASN3193251 M CO/314th INF/79 DIV ? KIA September 26th, 1918.?

Edward Michael McAvoy was born in Benedicta, Maine on 28MAR1887, to Mary T McAvoy. Little is known of his father other than his death in occurring in 1908. Mary McAvoy had two sons, the other being Frederick McAvoy. On draft registration day? Edward listed his home address as Webster, Massachusetts and his occupation as shoemaker. He is described as tall and slender with brown hair and brown eyes. He claimed no exemption from service.

He was inducted into service at Southbridge, Massachusetts on 26MAY1918 and sent to Camp Upton in New York for induction and assigned to the 8th CO/152nd Depot Brigade. From there he was transferred to the 79th Division at Camp Meade, Maryland on 22JUN1918 and assigned to M CO/314th/79 DIV on 27JUN1918. He sailed with his new unit to France from Hoboken, New Jersey aboard the "USS Leviathan "on July 8th, 1918.

Upon arrival in France on the afternoon of July 15th 1918, the 314th Infantry was sent towards the 10th Training area where it trained under French officers until September 7th, when they took up positions in the Avocourt-Malancourt sector to partially relieve the French in defensive positions near Hill 304 in preparation for the Meuse-Argonne offensive. M CO/314th Infantry spent most of this time in reserve, creating defensive positions and assisting in repairing roads. On the Morning of September 26th 1918, the 79th ?Division went into attack against Butte d?Montfaucon. Montfuacon sat on top of a large hill, making it a key part of the German defensive line, where German artillery observers used it to great advantage, directing artillery on American positions. In order for the American offensive to be successful, the 79th DIV had to capture Montfaucon as soon as possible. The position was fortified with a series of consecutive trench systems, bunkers, and machine gun nests. The 79th were under orders to capture the butte by the end of the day. At 5:30am on the morning of September 26th 1918, Co M/314th infantry moved forward toward Malancourt, supported by the 315th Infantry. Under a heavy smoke screen, they appeared in front of the first line of German defenses and took the German machine gun nests head on. By the afternoon the Company found itself again taking on heavy machine gun fire while taking the second line of German trenches. That was as far as they were able to get; the company reorganized and stayed overnight in the second line of trenches. The Germans were only a few hundred yards away and harassed Co M/314th with machine gun and sniper fire the entire night. It was there, around 9:00 pm, that PVT McAvoy was struck by a bullet in the stomach and died almost instantly. He was buried by the regimental chaplain.

Following the war, his family was first informed that PVT McAvoy had been recovered and buried in the nearby newly established Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery, however this was found to be in error and in 1921 an investigation was initiated. It was found that PVT McAvoy had not been recovered and despite further searching by GRS field personnel his remains went unlocated.

Doughboy MIA was asked by Nancy Schaff and leaders of the 314th Infantry Historical Association to look into the case, which we did. Robert Laplander did the initial work on the case in 2017, which was found to have good merit, and it was then handed to Alexander Curran for further examination. In late 2021, the case was presented to the team by Alexander with the recommendation for possible recon on site in the 2022 season, and this past August the team did indeed spend a day on the site that the research pinpointed. Our findings are encouraging and will be discussed in an upcoming Zoom call tentatively scheduled for the last week of September. Stay tuned for more details on that, and we look forward to YOU attending the call and seeing just what your contributions are accomplishing to get our lost Doughboys found.

Want to donate and be part of the action? Hop on over to www.ww1cc.org/mia [ [link removed] ] or www.doughboymia.org [ [link removed] ] and make a tax-free donation to our non-profit and help us find these boys, and we?ll see YOU soon on the Zoom!
