Cn 1916, when Berlin, Ontario changed its name to Kitchener, Mennonite diarist Susannah Cressman wrote, “Such is the wisdom of our…town fathers who are making [military contract] money out of it.” That same year preacher U.

In 1918, Mennonite conscientious objector Joseph Smith worried that he would be court-martialed.
