May I suggest, therefore, that you
communicate 20 the heads OF all such
departments and Administrations my
wish that when they are considering
extensions Of their organise tion into
the states, or new work to be done In
the states. they determine carefully
whether they cannot utilize the stats
council system, thus rendering nm
necessary the creation Of new ma
requests for action by the state eoun-
ellis through the state councils sec
tion of the Council Of Nattonal De-
fense?
Cordially and sincerely yours.
WOODROW WILSON"
Secretary Bakers letter, which call
ed forth this reply from the President,
summarizes the weFk of the state
suggestion Of the Council OF National
Defense shortly after this country en-
tered the war. '-fo accomplish this
work." writes Mr.. Baker. "they have
built up an organization uniquely
suited to its purpose. Every state
council of defense has active county
or equivalent councils Of defense un-
der ii. while in nearly every state the
organisation Of community councils
in the school districts, bringing the
goyernment to the paople and the

Mr.. Baker stresses the fact that
the work of the state councils in
stead Of diminishing has notably in
creased in scope and in Significance,
and concludes as follows:
TT Is difficult to estimate the i'm
portancs of the service rendered.

5 AUSTRIAN SCOUTS

BY the Associated Press
ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN NORTHERN .ITALYs August IL
Lieut. willis Fitch. an American
aviator. is being congratulated by the
italian air experts for his excellent
handling of a bombing plane when
FIVE Austrian scout planes attacked
him. Lieut.. Fitch's machine was one
of a bombing squadron that was in
tercepted before 1t reached its object
inside the enemy lines.
When Lieut.. Fitch observed enemy
planes arising to the attack he drop
ped his bombs on two of their avia-
tion camps and then started back for
the Italian Ines. While still about
thirteen miles inside the enemy ter
ritory the five Austrian scout planes
overlook him from the rear. He was
without support, as the other bombers
in his formation had preceded him
toward the home, hangar.
Lieut.. Fitch, who was acting as
pilot. dived in order to obtain the
maximum speed, and then pursued a
zig,zag course in the race for the
Italian lines. Meanwhile his machine
gunner maintained bursts of fire at
the pursuers. One enemy plane came
down in a dashing attempt to destroy
the bombing plane. and passed within
twenty-five feet. The enemy's IRE was
inaccurate. but that Of the lieuten-
ants machine gunner was true. and
the scout plane went into a swifling
noce dive to the earth. :.
The four other Austrian airman at
tackled In turn from varying. dis
tances, but the fire from the bombing
plane each time frustrated their at
tempts. Finally, Lieut. Fitch's escort
saw his predicarnent and returned,
driving away the Austrian scouts

ties in which they are now engaged.
1t Is o notable record. and ! shall be
glad to have you express to the state.
councils ray appreciation Of the serv-
ice they have so usefully rendered.
am particularly struck by the value
of extending our defense organiza-
tion into the smallest communities.
and by the truly democratic charsc-
II believe in the zoundness of your
contention that in the interest of
economy and efficiency such machin-
cry as that provided by the state

Sale OF Birds Prohibited.

Sale Of the birds 10 prohibited by the
treaty. Poltcs will strictly enforcs the
provisions Of the treaty and arrest Of
tenders. It 10 probable the members
Of cunning clubs and others win be
potified Of the provisions ct the treaty
In order to prevent the prohabtlity Of
many arrests being made the opening
day of the season.
1t 10 believed that the provisions Of
the treaty will be the means OF RAJ
ducing the number OF gunasrs on the
marshes the opening day OF the seasen
and each day thereafter to minimum.
There are some gunnsrs who care only
for ortolan shooting. 1t 10 stated, and
such persons will continue to enjoy
the sport, although they probably
will net relish the idea Of being per-
mitted to kill only twenty-five birds
on a days outing.
