IN EVERY COUNTY 1 War Conferences Will be Held in Every County in State to > STIMULATE INTEREST i Mass Meetings Will be Held in January—Notable Speakers. i Indianapolis, Ind., Dec 31 —(Spo- , cial to Daily Democrat) —Patterned . after the recent very successful statewide war conference, a war confer- . ence of local workers will be arrang- » ed in every county in Indiana. The conferences will start about the middle of January and it is planned to have covered the state completely by • March Ist. The meetings will include sectional conferences and a mass meeting, at which the individual's part in the war program will be set forth in de- ’ tail. Organizers representing the Indiana State Council of Defense have arranged to divide the state into ' three or four sections and assign a crew of speakers to each section, in order that the entire commonwealth may be included in the campaign. The program arrangements, for the present tentative, call for speakers of prominence, who will be able to bring an authoritative and inspiringly patriotic message. Everett Colby, of New Jersey, and Mrs. Raymond Robins, of Illinois, will appear in the conferences programs representing the federal food administration. They have just returned from a personal inspection of conditions at the fighting front and among the civil population of France and England. They are said to know definitely what the food demands of America’s associates in the war are, and they will have very definite suggestions to make to their audiences. These county conferences are expected also to serve as a stimulant to local sourcs of publicity for war measures, including the four-minute men. who have been speaking in moving picture theaters. tn order to classify the requests that have come in for speakers a special bureau has been created by the Indiana State Council to be devoted exclusively to providing what is wanted in each community. Requests already received prove the very general interest in the plans for the conferences. saleofTTi verFstoc k.
