ITO make all these individual so
cieties and community efforts effective
we have organized Home Defense
bodies, directed by local councils Of
defense, which have established and
systematized local constabulary, aided
recruiting, combined relief agencies,
and, in fact, acted as local clearing
houses for all war activities. We are
trying to stimulate them in the mat
er OF giving intelligent consideration
to the utilization Of unused ground for
the production of food supplies; to the
matter OF simple and wholesome liv-
ing, to conservation and industrial de-
yelOpment."
The National Committee OF Pa
triotic Societies is bending every effort
to bring to the whole people Of the
country the realization of the re-
sponsibility which the war has placed
upon every man, woman and child.
At this moment it is arousing the peo-
pie to take their individual part in
nullifying scditious and PROC German
propaganda.
In this connection the Committee
is getting in touch with the two thou
sand local chairmen Of the forty-four
societies represented, and urging them
to combat unpatriotic action OF every
kind in their communities. A state
chairman in every State has been ap-
pointed. A letter sent to the local
