STATE MUST MOBILIZE RESOURCES FOR WAR.
Purposes of Connecticut State Council of Defense and Its Bulletin EH- piained,

The following statement is made by Richard NJ Bissell of Hartfcrd, chair man of the Connecticut state council of defense:
 thickly settled state. There are but two states with smaller areas, but there are r states whose inhabitants are fewer in number than those or Connecticut.
 In the former wars in which this country has been engaged, oven includ- ing the wars waged against the French before the United States became na- ton, Connecticut has always furnished more than it's share of fighting men and performed more than its propor- tionate share of the other tasks which are incidental to the carrying on or war. Now that we are engaged in the greatest war of all history. which is being fought under conditions that re- quire the service and active participa- tion of every man and woman in the country, 1t goes without saving that Connecticut will maintain the highly honora ble position to which its hitherto patriotic record entities 1t.
 Since all of Connecticut'S inhabitants and all of her material resources must be made useful and active in prosecut- ing the war it has been necessary to institute a special organization through which these human and material agen- cies may be made available most eff Actively. with the least possible duplf- eaton Of efrOrt, and the greatest pos sible degree of harmonious co-opera- tion. To this end the Connecticut state council of defense has been created to
 mobilize the resources of the state in such manner as to make them avail able for war" The present is the first time in our history when such wide spread concentration of purpose and effort has been attempted. Manifestly the effort cannot fully succeed without the willingness and determination of every Connecticut citizen to give as- sistance in every possible way.
 The activities of the Connecticut state council of defense. except in few conspicuous instances are not such as to arouse great public interest or create excitement. The work of it's committees, while arduous and compre- hensive. is for the most part of a sort which does not arouse much comment. In order more widely to disseminate in formation concerning the work of the state council and it's sub committees. and to provide a channel through which matters concerning the activi- ties of councils of defense in other states may be distributed this bulletin weekly.
 The hard and exacting conditions imposed by modern warfare must be met. The self-sacrifice and inconven- fence involved will at best be very great. but it can be materially lessened by wise and united cooperation. This bulletin is intended as means t0 that end and solicits on behalf of the work of the Connecticut state council of de- fense the support and interest of all [ Owhom it may come.
