A Million Men Under Arms.

What does an army OF million
mean? One million men marching
four abreast would extend over line
400 miles long, practically from
Kansas city to the Colorado border
Some Of the things that these million
| men must be provided with before
| they can fight are: tl
10000 rifes and bayonets for them
| to fight with.
265,00O pistols, little brothers of the
rife
5000 machine guns, the military
scythe.
21OO field guns to batter down at
| tack.
165000,000 cartridges to carry them
into their first fight, and as many
more for each succeeding fight.
100000 shells and shrapnel for our
field guns for every hour they are in
action.
10000 horses to carry them and
pull their gun carriages.
$4,000 mules to haul their supplies
and pack their guns.
plies and ammunition.
100000 cartridge belts for their
ammunition.
100000 first aid packets to bind up
their wounds.
100000 pouches to keep them dry.
100000 canteens.
Each OF them must have uniform
and equipment:
100000 shelter halves to protect
them from the weather.
100000 blankets to keep them
warm.
100000 pairs OF shoes.
100000 uniform coats, breeches,
leggins, suits of underwear.
1000, 900 hats.
1000 900 shirts.
100000 pairs of socks.
100000 hayersacks.
Finally they must eat:
100000 pounds OF meat each day.
100000 pounds of bread each day
100000 pounds of vegetables each

100000 cups.
100000 plates.
100000 knives.
100000 forks.
100000 spoons.
To provide for proper care, training,
and lead in battle they should have:

The calling into service Of one mil.
lion men would mean the organization
eQuipping and training of ten armies
the size Of the complete regular army
of the present time. IL one million

it would require the uninterrupted ef-
fort Of 1000 recruiting parties work
ing day and night for more than ten
days to enroll and enlist them. II
would require week to move them to
the camps. provided all the suitable
railroad equipment OF the country
were given over to this work alone.
One thousand men would have to
work day ans night for ten days to
erect the tents for them, and when
completed thi. camp would amount to

ANOTHER ESCAPE

Prisoner Makes Getaway From Seem

O. the old cell house, made his way
through two more sets Of doors and
hiked over the twenty-five foot wall
and to his freedom, says the Gem
City. Notwithstanding the precautions
that Warden Sanders has taken to
make the old cell house burglar
proof, the escape last evening was
nothing less than a sort of miracle,
considering the fact that so many
obstacles, seemingly impossible loom
ed up between the prisoner and his
liberty.
No. 1O490, although not one Of the
warden's TRUSTEES, was assigned the
duties. of janitor or Jumper as they
are known at the prison, in the old
cell house, where the watchful eyes
of the guards could be ever upon him
Escape from these quarters was al
most an impossibility Nevertheless
No. 10490 attempted the inevitable
and got away with it. The escaped
man was locked up with the rest of
the prisoners as usual yesterday, and
all that gave evidence Of his French
leave taking was an empty cell and
an open cell door, two sets of barri
caded doors to the cell house and
thirty foot rope with graphing irons
at the end, which was thrown to the
top of the walls and by. means of
which the prisoner hand over hand
made his escape to the woods.
Today Warden Sanders is INSTALL
ing an iron bar system over everv
