ll. The appointment to inem-
rship in the State Council of
efense no more excuses a man
om draft, or from any other
rm of military service, than
ould an appointment to mem-
rship in th Y. M. C. A. or

The Council of Defense is
irely a voluntary party, organ-
ted at the request of the Presi-
nt of the United States, to ser-

activity in saving, economy

In what the objection to this
