In June, Mrs. Stowell had a letter from Red Cross Headquarters in Washington, saying that the Baltimore Chapter had no right to organize the counties and urged her to organize an independent chapter in Caroline County. Early in July a meeting was called at the Court House in Denton for this purpose, and after much effort and many communications with Headquarters, the Caroline County Chapter Red Cross was officially recognized. The officers were :
Mrs. J. W. Stowell, Chairman Mrs. J. Kemp Stevens, Vice-Chairman Miss Mary Hobbs, Secretary Dr. M. Bates Stephens, Treasurer
The Chapter, which started with three hundred members, had grown to five hundred and forty-four by Christmas 1917. During the Christmas Drive, by inten- sive effort of every sort in the way of solicitation, visit- ing country homes, calling on the town people, booths in banks, stores and postoffices, and by public meetings, the membership was raised to two thousand and fifty- five. At the Christmas Drive in 1918 the total adult membership was counted as twenty-four hundred and eighteen.
The Junior Red Cross work in the County began in earnest in March 1918. At the end of that school year the Chapter School Committee reported a membership of three thousand divided into forty-six auxiliaries. Sev- eral schools adopted refugees with the money collected for membership dues, two contributed toward a cot equipment, others wished to buy material and make lay- ettes. A few blankets were knitted-each child making one square. The total amount placed in the treasury by the children was $571.47. On May 18, 1918 over fifteen hundred children marched in a Junior Red Cross Aux- iliary Parade, held at Denton. The parade ended at the Athletic field where patriotic exercises were given.

During the summer of 1917, while the membership of the Red Cross in Caroline County was still small. $3784.77 was raised and one thousand dollars was spent in the equipment of a base hospital. By the time the second War Fund Drive had been appropriated the mem- bership had grown until the quota of the county was fix- ed at five thousand dollars. This amount was more than half subscribed in the Denton churches on Sunday morn- ing, following the pastor's appeal for the canse. At the end of the week a big mass meeting was held on the Court House Square. Speeches were made by Chair- man Harry A. Roe, Dr. M. Bates Stephens, State Sup- erintendent of Education, Mr. R. A. Boyd of the Feder- al Trade Commission, and Corporal Chas. W. Bowlby, a Canadian who was on the battlefield of France for two years. The total subscription amounted to twelve thousand dollars. There was always a plan for raising money for Red Cross and the execution proved in most cases successful. The ministers co-operated heartily, both by speaking at the regular church meetings and by their words at public gatherings.
The colored women of the county felt their sons were going to war and they desired to help the Red Cross. In Ridgely a circle was organized and joined the Chapter. In Preston a group of colored women sewed under the direction of Mrs. Douglas, the sub-chairman of Preston. At Denton, the women formed a club and sewed on caps or aprons which they sold to their friends and donated the money to the Red Cross ; they also made comfort kits for their soldiers and filled them. On the whole the colored population responded very well to the call for members, especially when solicited by their own people. They showed their eagerness to aid in many ways, some of the women would offer to launder the lin- en when hemmed by the white women, saying that they wanted to do something.

In regard to the work done by the county directly for boys in service, there is much to be said. The first Christmas (1917) one hundred and eighty-eight Christ- mi 's packages were sent to boys in camp. One town sent to every man in service from their district a fruit cake costing ninety-five cents. Another town made a special- ty of collecting Vietrola records for camp. Smileage books sold very well too, in the county. The second year, the Red Cross gave all possible publicity to the Christ- mas cartoon distribution for families who had men in the Evneditionary Force. The custom was established when the first men left Caroline, of furnishing each man with a Comfort Kit. The kit came from his home town and seemed especially appreciated on that account.
The Home Service Section is now the most active of all branches in our Chapter. Since the first of July, 1918, when Mrs. J. Spencer Lapham, the present secre- tary, was appointed, about two hundred cases were handled. Members of the Volunteer Motor Service ( o ) have aided in reaching outlying country districts. Emergency calls receive immediate answers. The work has been varied and interesting. Wives and mothers whose allotments do not come regularly report to the Secretary and inquiries are begun at once. Mrs. Lap- ham has had forty-three of these cases, and all but five have been settled satisfactorily. Three of these fam- ilies have had financial aid. She also helped relatives get information concerning those reported missing in action or wounded or ill. During the fall of 1918 there were many cases of influenza in soldier's families. In several instances the Home Service Section obtained a few days' leave of absence for soldiers who were still in camp, to return to see relatives who were dangerously ill. In other cases Mrs. Lapham corresponded with the man in service, keeping him in touch with his family un- til danger was over. Letters have been written to men in service for the wives and parents who were not able to do their own correspondence. The members of this department have helped men in service to get affidavits necessary to release them in cases where there was ill- ness or business difficulties.

The returned soldier comes to the Home Service Section for information concerning compensation, in- surance, the sixty dollar bonus and other similar things. Occasionally a day passes when the Secretary does not write a letter, but generally from three to fifteen are written daily. To prove some claims it was necessary to get certified copies of birth certificates, marriage rec- ords, and even divorce decrees.
Both during and after the war the Belgian Relief has not been forgotten. Garments were donated for the refugees and new material was made, by the women of the county, into serviceable underwear and outer gar- ments for Belgian children according to directions from Headquarters. The Red Cross will never again show only a handful of members in Caroline County. The altrustie spirit introduced by and through its work is of untold benefit to our people.

INTERNAL CONDITIONS.
Food.
Simultaneous with the mobilizing, arming, and equipping of troops for the trenches. another army was being mustered, organized, and drilled to serve in the less spectacular, but not less necessary, war agamst waste, and for the increased production of life essen- tials. On April 10 and 11, four days after the declara- tion of war, Secretary Houston met a delegation of Ag- ricultural Commissioners in St. Louis to discuss the food and fuel situation. During the summer months the gen- eral plan of campaign there formulated was worked out in detail so that when the passage of the Food-Control Act of Aug. 10, 1917 clothed the President with unlimit- ed power to control the food resources of the nation, lit- tle time was lost in putting those plans into effect.
In general the objects of the Administration were: (1) To decrease the home consumption of wheat, meat, and sugar, (2) to keep up the shipment of supplies to our army and our allies, (3) to prevent profiteering. and (4) to increase production. To do this necessitated the cooperation of each county and state in the Union. Al- though almost all regulations in effect in the counties were made by the Federal or the State Administration,
- -334-
and although every possible use was made of already existing organizations and officers, it was yet necessary for each county to have an Administrator to issue sugar permits, to meet local merchants for the purpose of fix- ing prices within regulation liimts, to keep millers in- formed as to prices, and to see that government de- mands were met. Mr. T. H. Chambers of Federalsburg was appointed Administrator for Caroline County in June, 1918.
By this time many goverment regulations had al- ready gone into effect. In November, 1917 cards had been distributed to and signed by housewives who thus pledged themselves to one meatless and one wheatless meal each day, one meatless and one wheatless day each week, no pork on Saturdays, and a general saving of sugar and fats. These abstainances were voluntary; others were mandatory. Only one-half pound of sugar for each individual in the family could be purchased weekly. Every grocer was required to keep a record of date, amount, name of purchaser, and number in purchaser's family. These records were inspected by the Administrator. For every pound of wheat flour purchased an equal amount of some substituute such as rice flour, corn-meal, oatmeal, etc., must be bought. No individual in town or city could buy more than twenty- five pounds of wheat flour at one time. Country resi- dents were allowed fifty pounds. Bakeries, also, were under regulations. A maximum quantity of sugar and shortening was fixed, uniform loaf weights were adopt- ed. and the flour used had to consist of one-fifth wheat substitute. Such bread received the patriotic name of "Victory Bread." A "Fair Price" list agreed upon at a meeting of merchants of the county and Administrator Chambers in July, 1917 gave these figures :
Sugar, per 1b. $ .10
Flour ( wheat ) , per 1b.

Many a half-forgotten recipe for making corn- breads, cottage cheese, etc. was revived; the old-time practice of drying frints and vegetables came into vogue ; and many perishable vegetables were conserved by modern methods of canning. Mrs. Edith Norman, Home Demonstration Agent for the county, was instru- mental in disseminating such knowledge. One hundred twelve women were enrolled in Women's Home Eco- nomies Clubs which met regularly during the summer of 1918 for demonstration in canning and drying. Although the amount of such work done was limited by a fruit and vegetable shortage due to drought, yet the value of produce thus preserved was approximately $2000. Club work, comprising poultry and tomato raising as well as canning fruits and vegetables, was carried on among the girls also. One hundred eighty-four girls were en- rolled; the value of the canned goods amounted to $359.10. Under E. A. Anderson, Connty Farm Demon- stration Agent, boys' clubs were organized, with the re- sult that during the two years of the war 1680 bushels of corn, 384 bushels of potatoes, and 19 pigs were added to the food production of the county.
Fuel.
Conservation of fuel was another problem of the war. Chiefly on account of lack of transportation facili- ties from mines to consumer, but also because of strikes among the miners, to obtain coal became both difficult and expensive. Hence conservation and use of substi- tutes became necessary as in the food situation. A cam- paign of volunteer "save a shovelful a day" was inang- urated by the government. Mr. H. C. Hobbs of Denton was appointed Fuel Administrator to see that coal was properly distributed, to procure it for dealers, and to instruet them in their methods of dealing. The max- imum price paid for coal in the county during the war was $11.77. Partly in order to relieve the coal famine in the eastern states, but more to decrease shipment to already congested ports the Federal Fuel Administra- tion ordered practically all factories east of the Missis- sippi river, unless engaged in the manufacture of war material, to shut odwn for the eight day period from Jan. 17 to 29, 1918. Moreover on Monday for ten suc- cessive weeks stores, shops, factories, and public build-
-336-
ings except schools, hotels, and lighting plants were re- quired to close. There were no exceptions to this order in Caroline County. Mondays were "heatless holidays."
For a similar reason, unnecessary travel by auto- mobile in states east of the Mississippi was discouraged during the summer months. Another measure designed to save fuel and lights as well as to promote gardening was the Daylight-Saving Law which became effective May 1, 1918. It provided that clocks be set ahead one hour on that date, and set back again in October. The plan was popular in towns, where a man might have considerable time for gardening after business hours. but the opposition by farmers, generally, was so strong that after two years' trial Congress repealed the law. Further to complicate the heating problem an usually low temperature prevailed throughout the winter of 1917-1918. Many bushels of potatoes and apples that had been buried in pits of ordinary depth froze. So great was the consumption of coal and so inadequate the available supply that schools were in some cases forced to close for want of it.
Influenza.
The fall of 1918 is memorable as the time of the Spanish Influenza epidemie. The disease probably crept into America through the medium of the army, since practically all of Europe was devastated by it prior to its appearance here. The first case reported in Caroline County was from Preston, Oct. 5. The whole county was quickly involved ; schools, churches, moving picture theaters, and other meeting places were closed by state and county boards of health, and remained closed for a period of five weeks. Many places of business closed be- cause of the illness of managers and operators. Whole families were strieken down at once. A total of 1140 cases was reported ; 134 deaths resulting therefrom. Al- though there were cases of the disease during the entire winter, the epidemic was practically over by November.
Armisitco.
Meanwhile, from the battleline of Europe there were coming indications that a cessation of hostilities must be near. Eager anticipation, therefore, speedily gave way to wild demonstration when on the morning
-337-
of Nov. 11, 1918 word was received that an armistice had been agreed upon. Business was suspended, pray- ers of thanksgiving were offered in the churches, pa- rades were formed, whistles shrieked, bellsjingled, flags fluttered. Every house showed its bunting; every citi- zen expressed in his own way joy, relief, and gratitude at the indications of peace.
Flood.
On August 15, 1919 calamity again visited the coun- ty-this time in the form of a flood. Heavy rains for a week so saturated the soil and filled the streams that the downpour of the memorable Wednesday of Aug. 15, broke dans, overflowed river banks, swept away bridges, flooded streets, cellars and the first floors of dwellings, and drowned small animals such as pigs and chickens. Electric lines were broken, street lights were out, and railroad traffic was suspended. Crops were either de- stroyed or badly damaged. Boyce Mill, Bloomery, and Pennypacker Bridges were completely wrecked, as was likewise a bridge on the state road near Federalsburg. Falkner Bridge stood intact with a thirty foot gulley cutting the road each side of it. The total damage to roads and bridges was estimated at $60,000.
LIST OF INDUCTED MEN FURNISHED BY THE LOCAL BOARD OF CAROLINE COUNTY TO THE ADJUTANT-GENERAL OF MARYLAND.
Names starred are those of men who died in service either in camp or on the field. No titles of rank are giv- en because of the impossibility of securing all. For a similar reason a few names occur both in this list and in the Roster of Enlished Men when the exact case could not be ascertained.
