where and how of its writing?
The citizens of Baltimore staged an
impressive pageant of the centenary
of the Battle Of North Point and Fort
McHenry during the week Of Septem-
Der II, 1914. Congress appropriated
$4,000 for the erection of monu-
ment to Key, this monument to be
dedicated this summer with appropri-
ate ceremonies. 1t is therefore timely
to recall the stirring events which led
to the writing Of this immortal song.
Representative ]. Charles Linthicum
Of Maryland in a recent speech in the
house reviewed those events and said,
among other things:
Mr.. Linthicum-This monument now
to be dedicated by the national gov
eminent to that immortal poet is but
fitting tribute from the government
to my native state Of Maryland for
the heroism, generosity and support
Of it's people during the troublous
times Of 1912.
To the strong support Of Maryland,
and particularly of its metropolis, Bal
simore, Is largely due the successful
termination Of that war. 1t was a
Baltimore an-Minister Pinckney-
who asked for his leave Of England,
and was made Attorney General of the
United States, and wrote the declara-
| ton of war.
Maryland gave to the war more off,
| GERS, ships, and seamen than any other
state. She supplied 46 officers, or
nearly one-fifth of all the officers, of
the American navy. Virginia supplied
| 40, which was more than all New Eng
land. Baltimore supplied 81 privateers !;
Salem, 10; Boston, 80; and Philadel-
| phia, IA; and the state Of Maryland
equipped over 100 privateers in all. 1t
Is estimated that the loss to England's
commerce by the Baltimore privateer
| captures alone was over $16OO0OO0
1t was Commodore John Rogers of
Baltimore, who commanded the North
Atlantic squadron, and Stephen De-
/ catur, Jr., native of Berlin, Md, who
commanded the South Atlantic squad
ron. 1t was Commodore Rogers of
Maryland on the flagship The Presi-
dent who personally fired the first shot
Of the war at the British ship Bel
vedira. It was Chesapeake crew,
commanding the Constitution, better
known as Old Ironsides. which cap
turcd the first frigate Guerrero.
The merchants OF Baltimore loaned
TO the national government $3.OOO,OOO,
which was later assumed by the city
of Baltimore, and became its FIRST
municipal debt. Finding no part of
this fund available for the defense Of
the city, Baltimore raised 100000 adj
ditional with which to fortify Fort
McHenry, Fort Babcock-now River
side park and Fort Coyington-rnow
