Britain Rushes Equipment
And Drilling of New Army

LONDON, Oct. 17.-England is rushing
the preparation Of her raw levies''
much faster now than in the early days
Of the war. As a result, IT is considered
certain that another British expedition
Will shortly be en- route to the front
There is now little doubt that the Ger

last occasion, it will be British arms

The chief difficulty up to date in get
ting the troops into the field has been
the lack of supplies. When the active
army went to the front to take its place
on the firing line it was accompanied by
as efficient a Quartermasters depart
ment as ever existed. 1t is now felt that
POSSIBLY il was a mistake to permit the
chief officers in this department to go
10 the front. They have been badly
needed in England.
Equipment of Levies Rushed.
Many of the new troops have been
unable to secure needed equipment.
But Lord Kitchener now has the new
department working in clock-work
style, and equipment is being turned

impossible.

developments that might prove OF

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1914-10-17

that number Of problems are being
solved that will prove of great ad-
vantage to the allies. First and fore
most. OF course. is the getting Of real
equipment for the new levies that are
needed in the field.
This is being secured by working all
factories overtime. The plants which
furnish guns and munitions are operat-
ing on a twenty-four hours schedule,
and additional factories have been open
ed. The result is that nearly all of the
troops now at the various concentration
camps have been furnished nearly every
thing needed, and no longer is It found
necessary for the volunteers to drill in
citizens clothing. And there is a
sufficient quantity Of ammunition SO that
the soldiers can be given unlimited OPP
portunity for target prec-.c-
No Raw Levies Sent To War.
The result is that there is no longer
look. Plenty of recruits are enrolling,
and their training is being rushed with
the very equipment they will carry with
them into battle. There will, however,
be no sending of raw levies to the front.
Earl Kitchener set his foot down hard
on the proposition-so hard that even
the Canadians, admittedly one Of the
best looking forces ever sent into Eng
land to help fight her battles, were de-
MED the privilege OF being sent direct
to the front. Instead, they will be
forced to complete a course of training.
However, 1t is explained. that this will
neither be long nor exacting, and the
overseas contingent are looking for
ward to early action.

ONLY FOUR0FF|CERS
OF Hawke RESCUED
Admiralty Denies Destruction Of
InvincibIe and Terrible by
Germans.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE official press
bureau, in a statement issued this A.
ternoon, declares that only four of the
officers of the cruiser Hawke have
been reported as saved, and that it is
now feared that the remaining twenty
seven officers persisted. when the cruis-
er was sunk by the German subma-
rine.
Despite the denial from the. admir-
atty, the report that disaster had over
whelmed the Invincible and Terrible
continued to circulate, and at I:45 this
afternoon the bureau issued the follow.
ing supplementary announcement:
There is no truth whatever in the
rumors that any vessels of the navy
have met disaster other than those
about which official announcement al
