Urged to Come Forward. \The League was originate<! early In 1S15 at a. weekly confPrence of Inspectors In the office of the Pollee r•ommission<>r.'' sa!q· Mr. CiJ.se. \'!'here is no law tn pel any one to join or <>ven t<> remain a \'ember. The only appeal is one of in- tf!rest In an organiz~t\on whi<\h m11y take the place o! the ·pqlice in an emer- gency and maintain ordor and other duties which unorganized ·ctttze:os.) · w'o11ld find difficult if not lmpo.sslblo. emergency, I <lo not mean labor trou- bles. 'The rules or the organization pro- vide exprc~sly that tho rnemberso shall not be called upon In Industrial disputes. \The organization may never be used. Then again, the time may come very suddeniy, as It did during the San !~tan cisco catnstro.phe, when the Federal troops had to step in and <!o work J:or Which neither tile police nor th~ dtizPnS had bePn prepared. 1\'l!Kim C'l'l'l' NEEDS GUM\DI:-lG. .. We are end.avorlng to maintain terest in the org~lzatlon by W<'ekly or hl-weekllr meeting~ at which the men are tnu!l'ht drills and exercises. It the organization persists they will also be tnught camping, the pr~ization of re- lief and dlstrilmt!on of food rations, strategic points in the city whlrh must be gunrded, and other things wl>ich will provo -valu.,ble in time ot need. \We have secured tha consent o! the Army oe tho East to detail an army ln- IStructor to teach meml><'rs of the League drllls. It Is not our purpose to tnlln aa army, but merely to build up the or- ganization \and !l'ive the members neces- sar:r training. 'l'hey <1re being given :Uii.1- forms, and we hope .to lmve a regiment In the police parade next spring, and pc;>sslbly in the pollee encampment. \Ser- vice in the Home Defence League Is Olel'O!)\ a form or civjc patriotism which ls valnable to the citizen who tal<es ''\' i.n the work and receives the lnatruc- tJon.\ The appeal sent out trom the Thirty. tln;t Pr~c1nct Pollee Station, at 103 East 67th Street follows: The acute tension prevailing In this city last spung, as u. result uf our strain- ell internttUonal relattons, uroug)lt out i a ready response in every prC('lnct to 1 C!'.onmissiou~r vVuods's appPal for a vol- I tllltoer force to fuJJII tho .duties of the ' pollee In case or an emergency.

These il.re furthPr the rca. fJons why this appeal is marl<' pw·tlcu- larJy to those living in the Thh;t:r-llrst Precinct, extending from 59th to 79th Street. and frem Central Park to the East River.
