The presi- dents telegram to the state chairman follows:
 Your state, in extending it's nation al defense organization by the creation of community councils, is in my opin- ion making an advance of vital signifi- canoe. It will, believe, result, when thoroughly carried out, in welding the nation together as no nation of great size has ever been welded before. It will build up from the bottom an under standing and sympathy and unity of purpose and effort which will no doubt have an Immediate and decisive effece upon our great undertaking.
 You will find it, I think. not so much a new task as a unification of existing efforts, a fusion of energies now too much scattered and at times somewhat confused. into one harmoni- ous and effective power.
 Ut is only by extending your organ izatiOn into small communities that every citizen of the state can be reached and touched with the inspira- tion for the common cause.
 'The school house has been suggest ed as an apt, though not essential cen ter for your local council It symbol izes one of the first fruits of such an organization, namely, the spreading of the realization of the great truth that it is each one of us, as an individual citizen, upon whom rests the ultimate responsibility.
 Through this great new organiza- tion we will express with added en- phasis our will to win and our confi- dence in the utter righteousness of our purpose. Sincerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON"
