Product Information

Excerpt from Report of Maryland Council of Defense to the Goverr and General Assembly of Maryland In this report and the reports and letters which accompany it will be found an account of the Councils work in Maryland during the Great War. Maryland's nearness to Washington and its contact with Government life gave it unique experience in many angles of the war. Most States lost population due to their young men going into service. Maryland furnished 61, 839 men, which was more than its quota, and yet its war population was far above its rmal population, due to the fact that vast numbers were brought to Maryland by forty Government centers and operations and by the shipyards, the munition works and other war industries. Under the circumstances, Marylands record in solving the problems involved in these new conditions and in meeting every call of the Government for service, money or labor was deeply gratifying, and, added to all this, was its remarkable achievement in materially increasing its agricultural production during the war period, bringing the yields of its farms and gardens to the highest point kwn in the history of the State. The larger and finer story of Maryland in the war will tell of the service of its 60,000 men and women in uniform, of their courage and sacrifice on every battle front; but through cooperation and personal sacrifice without limit their home folk were doing all in their power to send them food, supplies and support, and to keep their State keyed to the top tch in loyalty and production. The receipts and expenditures are given in detail, but it would be impossible to present in a report the details that would cover the entire scope of the Council's work. We found that the cost was t the best measure of value; some of the finest and most useful undertakings of the Council required little expenditure; they were beyond price, because they came through the co-operation of the people. Some of the best service of the Council was in t doing things. The Executive Committee spent much time in heading off well meant but unwise projects, in preventing duplication of work; thus thousands of dollars were saved to the people of Maryland.
