Washington, D. C., April 23—The United States is now entering the war. Soon we will be in it up to our But all authorities agree we will play no part of military conse- quence until we have a million armed, trained and equipped men for the field. 4 Today the Daily Tribune is able to present figures showing that it would be entirely possible for the United States to start now and train its mil- lion men, and have them on the bat- tlefront, this year, The government has already worked out plans and figured on what is needed to equip such an army, in ad- {dition to the stocks on hand. First of all, let us see what arms and ammunition an army of 1,000,000 men needs, ‘Careful study by military attaches of the experiences of the na- tions now at war shows that the ab- solute minimum requirements for a million soldiers are as follows: 1,300,000 rifles. 28,805 machine guns, 1,200,000,000 cartridges: 8208 field guns. 90! 7,808,000 rounds of field ammunition. rate This represents simply artillery what they In_ addition, the investigations of the U. S. war college show that pro- vision would have to be made for sup- i plying each month after they enter the field, one-twelfth as many. rifles, machine guns and field guns and about one-fourth as much small arm and artillery ammunition as was ini- tially supplied. Now let us se ment has on }) What, the govern- dt! to. supply such a TH t aaa BIAMOND BRAND, pve Ribton. for CHO! y bison’ ie til Seer years knownas Best, Safest, Always Reliable ; SOLD BY DRUGGISTS EVERYWHFRE Heavy Artillery, We Uncle Arm Himself? | We Have the Rifles, We Are Making More Machine Guns, We Can Produce the Ammunition, and the Allies Can Spare the Lack, Figures Prove first million men: Rifles are the first requirement,.and 1,200,000 would be needed. We find that on Jan. 1 of this year the gov- ernment had on hand 1,023,000 rifles, and since that ime has probably added about 75,000 more. There is no reason, therefore, as far as small arms are concerned, why a million men could not be immediately enlist- ed and started drilling. . Within three months more the entire. Snitial supply. of rifles needed could ‘be completed in the government arsenals alone, and by that time private plants could be put into condition to supply reg- ulation army rifles in enormous quan- tities. “The army is short on machine guns. Fortunately, however, American manufacture of machine guns_has been enormously stimulated by Euro- pean contracts, and official f show that private plants in this coun- try now have a manufacturing capaci- ty of 140,000 machine guns a Year. If orders are placed by April 15, !therefore, it would be possible to pro- vide 30,000 machine guns by the mid- dle of July. Both’ rifles and machine guns re- quire cartridges, and the government now has on hand a little less than 300,000,000 rounds, or about one- fourth of the required initial supply. ‘Within six months, however, the au- thorities believe, the supply could be broughtup to more than a bpillion, which would be just about enough for the minimum initial supply. As far as rifles, machine guns and small ammunition is concerned, there- fore, there iseno reason why the Unit- ed States could not be ready within six months to equip.an armyeof a mil- lion men, provided appropriations should be made available by congress immediately. When we come to artillery, it is a jdifferent situation. It would require more than a year to manufacture enough field guns to*equip an army. of a million, , To rely ,pn aur own artillery, there- fore, it 1i8 imperative that big gun factories be built and equipped imme- diately, The war department has only 650,000 rounds of artillery ammuni- tion on hand, but thanks to practice on shell orders for the allies, Ameri- can private plants would have no dif- fieulty in providing all ‘the ammuni- tion needed. Summing up the situation, there is no reason why the United States could not arm and equip an army of a million men just as soon as they can be trained for trench fighting. Before Christmas, the stars and stripes could easily be waving over a million men in the trenches of the western front, MERCHANTS HOTEL ST.
