Our Quota
Summary
Editorial stating that there is much misapprehension as to how many soldiers will be required from Washington Co. No definite numbers have been released by the District Provost Marshal or the War Department. Undoubtedly, some men will need to be drafted, but every effort should be made to raise recruits and take advantage of available state and federal bounties in the meantime. At least several hundred men will be needed to fill the county quota - almost two full companies from Hagerstown area alone.
