DEFENSE League
WRITES PINKHAM
OF PURPOSE

Governor Pinkham has recently re-
ceived a call from the American De
tense League to accept position as
honorary yice-president of that organi-
cation, which is founded with several
ideals. of preparedness in mind, in
GLIDING plans for a campaign to in
struct foreigners in American citizen.
ship, raise funds for the purchase of
aeroplanes for the National Guard.
and provide permanent league that
can be at the service of the govern
ment in time of national crisis.
In a letter to the governor, the De
tense League, which is organized in
New York and which intends to spread
to various states and territories, has
this to say of its purposes:
ITO the end that immediate prac
tieal steps may be taken to provide
for American defense, some of the
most prominent men in the nation are
now organizing the American Defense
League with headquarters in New
York City.
Those who have closely followed
the proceedings of Congress realize
the lamentable condition of our un-
preparedness and the full seriousness
of the international situation con,
fronting us. We have recently more
than once faced grave international
crisis, and there is no present assur-
ance that America Is freed from the
threat OF events to come. -.
"An active, systematic, educational
campaign among foreign-born resi-
dents, beginning with immigrants as
they land to teach in his own Ian
guage and English, will be undertaken
to instruct them in the advantages
and high purposes of American citi
zens, No more valuable work can be
attempted than this teaching of Amer.
lean standards, and this coordination
of American citizenship ideals.
THE naval and military appropria-
tons of Congress have met only in
part what are known to be imperative
necessities. 1t is an object OF this
League to raise funds for the pur-
chase of aeroplanes to be presented
to the various regiments of the Nation.
al Guard in all states, and to aid in
every possible way in bringing the
equipment of the National Guard up
to the highest degree of efficiency.
These are the two pressing steps
first to be undertaken. The league
has the further object of providing a
permanent organization with funds and
electives that can at. once be placed
at the disposal of the federal govern,
ment in any time of nat onal crisis.
The league is absolutely non-partisan
and non.secIarian, and has no con-
nection whatever with any individual
or group of munitions manufacturers,
1t is purely a patriotic American
league, permanently organized for de-
Tense and not for offense. "-...~.~
The governor is studying over the
question, but has not yet accepted the
position of honorary vice-president of
the organization. ....-. H. J.

First Of a series Of timely pointer
Through special arrangement with
the National Guard, the Star Bulletin
begins today printing In regular form
bulletins containing advice from the
militia division of the War Depart
ment to guardsmen. The following
article on field cooking is the first of
these features which VIII be printed
hereafter on the regular army page
each Saturday:
FIELD COOKING.
In past years many National Guard
organizations have not made any pro-
visions for enlisted cooks, but have
depended upon such arrangements as
they could make by means OF hired
cooks or caterers to supply them with
food during their camps.
Now that their camp and field serv-
ice is more nearly approaching that
of the Regular Army, It is plain that
National Guard organizations should
have, as part OF their regular per-
sonnet, properly instructed enlisted
cooks.
Field service in campaign demands
great physical endurance, perfect
health, and vigorous physical con-
dition. Diet Is the one, most import.
ant consideration in the maintenance
of perfect health in the field, and no.
where else is its necessity felt more
keenly. Troops sustained on an i'm.
prepared ration are not cap
able of fulfilling their mission they
are assailed by abnormal sickness
and loss of stamina, and their ul-
innate breakdown and uselessness as
and maneuvering units can
only be question OF time.
While the matters CT selection, pur-
chase, preservation and distribution of
the components OF the ration are
largely in the hands Of staff officers,
the company. commanders have abso-
Lutte control of the preparation and
of the ration. Company
commanders need a practical knowl-
edge of the principal foods and their.
They must know how to
make up bills of fare, giving variety
of wholesome food in ample quantity,
and without waste; they must pay
