GATED IN RECENT KILLINGS
IN COLORADO TROUBLE.
FEDERAL TROOPS ARE DISAPPOINTED
Most Serious Aspect In the Trinidad
Zone Since the Troops Arrived
There-Rockefeller Men Hide
Machine Guns.

Trinidad. Col.-Strikers in the Trim
idad district, which included the big
tent colony at San Rafael Heights,
whittier late residents of the destroyed
Ludlow tent colony went Saturday.
surrendered 70 weapons of all char
acter to the federal army officers.
Among the lot were some with broken
stocks, bursted barrels, broken ham,
mers and many small caliber guns and
pistols.
The military officers were disap-
pointed at the manner in which Col
onel Locketts proclamation of dis
armament was obeyed, and determined
to give the strikers, mine operators
and citizens, one more chance to sur
render the arms voluntarily.
All told there were 725 arms re-
ceived by the federal commanders
here. To this number the dealers in
arms and ammunition contributed
largely, and citizens surrendered many
hunting guns and small caliber arms.
Very few weapons which the army Of
ficers considered truly serviceable
were received.
AS each gun was surrendered re-
ceipt was made out in triplicate. One
copy of the receipt went to the Uni
ted Mine Workers of Americas Off
GERS here, another to the owner of the
weapon and the third was kept by the
army officer. No intimation was CIV
en- by the officers in charge as to what
will become Of the weapons ultima
tely, except the assurances that the
arms will not be given out again by
the troops to any save their rightful
owners. Possibly they will be confis-
Gated by the federal government.
The situation has assumed the most
serious aspect since the arrival of the
federal troops.
It has been learned that the mine
guards now in the employ of at least
one company would be retained and
given work on the property. This. and
the fact that no machine guns were
among the arms delivered, serves to
create feeling Of unrest on the part
of the strikers, who have declared the
machine guns must be taken from the
mine operators.
Strike Breakers Barred.
Trinidad, Col.-President Wilson,
through the war department, has in
structed Colonel James Lockett, CON-
handing federal troops in southern
Colorado, to permit no importation of
strikebreakers and to deport all those
sent in since trouble started in April.
Re-establish Tent Colony.
Colonel Lockett announces that the
war department had determined to
permit the rehabilitation of the strik-
ers' tent colony at Ludlow provided
the federal military officers are given
a roll of the inhabitants, together with
the addresses of their former places of
employment, and provided further that
union man of strong influence is
placed In charge of the camp with
whom the military officers might con-
fer.
All Must Give Up Firearms.
Trinidad, Col.-After 5 o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon all persons in
the strike districts in Colorado who
are suspected of carrying weapons
will be searched and disarmed If weap-
ons are found. by the officers and SOL
| diers of the United States army.

AS between France and Germany
apart from the latter's superior war
footing, the total of the fully trained
reserves in the Fatherland would be
the most potent factor in a prolonged
struggle and also the justification for
a vigorous initiative despite early
heavy losses. Both Germany and
France have in the last two years in
creased the period Of service from
frightening of the term with the col
ors aroused a great deal Of opposition,
not to say discomfort.
Immediately back of these soldiers
are the first reserves, men who but
recently have finished their full tours
of active service and of course are
familiar with the latest practices. Now
look at the foregoing figures. Ger
many's peace footing is only 29,895
men stronger than that of France, but
upon the first call to arms this moder-
ate superiority Immediately jumps to
the greater figure of 4,203, giving the
kaiser an advantage of nearly 81 per
cent. But this is only the beginning
Of the difference.
Germany's total reserve of fully
trained reserves-men trained with
peculiar thoroughness-is today quite
100000, while the admittedly less ex-
actingly drilled reserves of France
number but 3,250,0OO rank and file.
Here, as can plainly be seen, the Fa-
therland leads by 1850, 00O-two and a
half times the war footing of France,
while still having in reserve as many
as France would have at best.
Setting aside the question of the
relative military value of the training
of the German and the French SOL
diers, those of France carry a maya
zine rifle of eight millimiters caliber
and the German infantrymen repeat

REAL BATTLE CAPABILITIES
OF The ARMIES OF EUROPE

do you know that the contending
armies in Europe today are battling
upon their peace time footings?' asked
a colonel on the general staff of the
United States army. And don't for
get that the nation that gets its fight
ing force up to its full war strength
first will gain a material advantage in
the present turmoil"
This means that any hasty deduc-
won and lost up to date may soon
prove absolutely misleading.
The question then arises: Which of
the struggling armies can reach it's
war strength soonest, and, with that
attained, what are it's chances for
maintaining that standing in the CRU
cling days to come? The answer is
a matter of administrative efficiency
first, and then follows naturally the
relative merits Of the reserve material
upon which the nation can draw as
battle after battle and disease thin
the ranks of those in the field. At
present the Germans are virtually
fighting alone four other nations, but
their initial setbacks are not properly
a true index of what is to come in the
near future.
Some Figures.
AS it is necessary to deal with fig
ures it is just as we'll to begin now
as later. These figures, interpreted in
the light of additional information
have another meaning, one that comes
closer to the facts inspiring the ag
gressive policy assumed by the kai
ser in face of seemingly appalling
odds. According to authoritative in
formation the peace and the war foot
ing of the powers named are as fol-
