MOBILIZE STATE.

Mobilization by communities OF every
man. woman and child in California, IS
the new task given to William Y. Cowan
state director of the FourMinute Men, by
the State Council of Defense.
This is the biggest work yet undertaken
by the State Council, and is probably the
most important President Wilson has
written a letter urging the State Councils
of Defense to organize Community Coun'
ellis in every section in order to weld the
nation together, as no nation of great size
has ever been welded before" .....
Some counties already have local organ
izations such as Liberty Leagues and the
like; all of which will doubtlessly be inco-'-
porated into the new general plan; many
have already signified their willingness 70
come in.
Community organizations form the
base of the whole State Council of Defense
system. Through them the federal gov
ernment and the state can easily reach the
last man and woman in every nook of the
commonwealth, not only as to matters
concerning the war, but also in connection
with after the-war problems. 1t is claimed
that the reconstruction period will require
even more careful organization than has
been necessary during the war. 1t enables
the busy farmer and laboring man to keep
i'm closer touch with the work of fedora,
and state officials, and to receive author
tative information direct from them. 1t
also prepares the way for greater gen.
eral development in the community.

DIRECTORS HANDLED.

"In the early future, in all likelihood
conscientious objectors to fighting will bt
sent in detachments to France to do neces
sary agricultural and non-military work.
That is the announcement the War De
partment asks the State Council of De
fense to convey to local communities
whose support of the plan the government
asks.
This practice will not be adopted
through sympathy, but to utilize mai
power. Such objectors will not be pam
pered, but will be given proper mainte
nance and required to do full and usefu
duty, though not in the fighting line.
The practice has been to draft objectors
then through q board Of inquiry segregate
the sincere persons, usually members of q
church which fOrbids fighting.
Pending inquiry the men are all sent l.
