Czas Baltimorski chronicled developments in Europe with an emphasis on Poland, in addition to reporting on local events, sports, and religious and cultural news of interest to the Polish-American community in Baltimore.[4] Both editors enlisted in the United States armed forces after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941; after their service, Wusza was an economic advisor to the post-war Polish government, and Ciesielski served in the Central Intelligence Agency until his retirement, when he became president of the Polish Heritage Association.[5]

The exact date that publication of the Czas ceased is unknown; the last issue digitized by the Library of Congress was the January 23, 1941 issue.[6]
