Francis M. Jencks of Baltimore, organizer of the Maryland League for National Defense and chairman of the board of management, who organized a similar league in New Hampshire, and Attorney Joseph Madden of Keene, N. H., a member of the organizing committee of the New Hampshire league, came here today to conduct a meeting of local men this afternoon in the office of C. F. Fitts for the purpose of organizing a similar league in this state. His interest in New Hampshire and Vermont is due to the fact that he spends his summers in Dublin, N. H.
The purposes of the league, summarized, are: An increased enlistment in the army and navy and adequate armament and equipment; a definite naval and military policy; the creation and maintenance of an organized reserve; the building up and strengthening of the national guard; the development by appropriate means for the recognition, on the part of the people, of the duty of every citizen to be prepared to render prompt and efficient service in defense of the country, and by military training to prepare himself for such service.
