FOR ARMY IN ORIENT.
twenty-five Thousand Sets of
Equipment Sent From Rock
Island Arsenal.
THE ORDER Is QUICKLY FILLED
Goods on the Way % Hours After
Word is Received From
War Department.

Twenty-Five thousand sets of in
fantry equipment were shipped from
Rock Island arsenal yesterday for the
soldiers in the Philippines and China.
Rock Island arsenal has sent equip
ments to the Philippines a mum Der of
times before this, but that does not
signify. In that climate everything
either rusts, molds, or rots, and it
does it in the space of a single night.
II is fair estimate that six TO eight
months is enough time to make away
with a set of this equipment. At
this rate of consumption of equip
ment the army in the Philippines and
China is able to keep the workmen at
Rock Island arsenal at their tasks for
a good many days to come.
The shipment is noteworthy on one
account. aud that is the promptitude
with which it has been sent to New
York, where transport is awaiting
it. The order came Monday. There
were seven car loads Of them and they
all had to be taken from stock, check
ed out. packed and all with the great
est system and care. The fact that
hardly "a hours were needed to get
this big shipment started indicates
the manner in which Rock Island ar
senal is prepared to respond to calls
upon it.
Securely Packed.
The rules of the ordinance depart
ment call for the securing of all pack
ing cases with strap iron when they
are shipped on the water. Ocean car
riage is likely to be attended with
rough weather, and packing cases are
likely to be tum bled about, and un-
less they are well secured they are
likely to be broken. The ironing of
these cases was large addition to the
work of ordinary packing. 1t took
force of 90 men to get the goods ready
and off. There were over l, 400 cases
in all. In a month or thereabout the
shipments which the workmen of the
tri-cities have been fabricating will be
in service in the Philippines.
