"Ohio in the War Buckeye News Growing Out of World Strife." Plain Dealer 17 Jul. 1918: 13. NewsBank. Web. 16 May 2016.

In Ohio, especially near Cleveland, many events surrounding WWI were occurring. Kenton's county didn't have enough soldiers, so they had some men attend Toledo University for mechanical training. This happened in multiple places over Ohio who needed more people for the draft. However, some soldiers have been reported as injured which could have scared people away from the war. In other news, a Canton plant is receiving an award for field artillery that they built that was sent to France.

The bombing campaign in Austria, as begun by the Cleveland soldier featured in this article, focused on targets along the Adriatic sea. Carried out by the Allies against the Central Powers, was designed to attack cities and decimate the enemy's morale. Technological developments like the bomb sight, anti aircraft artillery, and air raid bomb shelters allowed the bombing campaigns to be successful. The Italian navy flew forty two missions over Venice in total. This prideful article must've helped further the war effort, creating nationalistic confidence in the hearts and minds of Clevelanders
