Excerpt from A History of the Work in the Washington, D. C., District: War Work Council, From July 1st, 1917, to July 1st, 1919

It is hoped that this outline, inadequate and perhaps inaccurate as it is, will be of some permanent value as a beginning on which to superimpose data which will make a full report of the work of the Washington District.

I wish to make acknowledgment to William Knowles Cooper, George T. Hastings, Ralph K. Hickok and D. E. Yarnell, as well as all other members of the War Work staff, for their splendid co-operation in preparing this, without their aid the task would have been well nigh hopeless. To all who have helped, especially the faithful and efficient stenographic force of the headquarters staff, my sincere thanks are due.
