 URGES COOPERATION
 Tho benefits derived from these or ganizations will be in proportion to the unselfish devotion which the different men bers contribute to the public welfare and 10 the assistance and cooperation given to them by the public at large.
 T call upon all citizens, more espe- cially state, county and municipal of- ficials, to assist the state and county councils of defense in carrying forward the work for which they have been or ganized and appointed. Those who may be exempt from military service should assume and take upon themselves greater responsibilities than those doing duty in the trenches.
 Believing that the highest interest of the state demands that volunteers should be enlisted in behalf of the public wei fare, I, as governor of Alabama, have caused this proclamation to be issued with the great seal of the state at tached thereto on this, the seventeenth day of May, in the year of our Lord, 19l7''
