DEFENSE COUNCIL PASSES JUDGMENT UPON J. P00EST0 Here is the way that the County Division of the State Coundl of De fense of Stanislaus Coimty, California treated one Podesto, who was a weal thy man, and who refused to buy lib erty bonds. They issued the following notice and had the same published in thfe county papers, and it is needless to say jhat Mr. J. Poedsto came right in and purchased $10,000 worth of Liebrty bonds. This method should be used in different places: To the patriotic dtizens of the dty of Modesto and of Stainislaus county: In this time of nationtt atress it ia! the duty of very loyal and patriotic man to support his government to the fullest extent of his ability.

After a long sesdon-with one G. B. (John) Podesto yesterday afternoon it was the unanimous oprnion of the {Stanislaus divisiion of the state coun cil of defense that the aforesaid party is uttieily laddng in his appreciation of his duty to the.Uiuted States gov ernment and of his own country, Italy, our ally. __ Podesto's attitude of indifference to this country's needs and his endeavor to get by with ah inadequate quota of Liberty bonds has aroused the ire of all lojnd dtizens familiar with the facts.
