Y
 we may not have allies willing and able to protect us while we slowly prepare to meet the enemy.
 The ordnance bureau of the war de- partment admits that we have not rifles for our national army, but at tempts to excuse matters by saying that it Is of no consequence because We shall have rifles a few months hence, when our men are ready to go abroad. The admission is correct The excuse is not. Even for training, it is better to arm infantrymen each with the weapon he is to use rather than to give each man broomstick, or to give every four men an anti quated rifle which cannot be used in service. Most of our artillery regi- ments at present either have no guns or wooden guns, or in rather rare cases. old-style guns which cannot be matched against any present day ar tillery.
 Moreover, and this is the vital point we now have the time to prepare only because the English and French fleets and armies protect us. Eight months have passed since Germany openly went to war with us. As yet we have not rifles for our infantry as yet we have not guns for our artillery. It will be at least a year after we were dragged into the war before our army will have received the weapons with which We are to wage the war.
 There Is broomsticl preparedness and there is not the slightest use in trying to justify or excuse broomstick preparedness.

Broomstick Preparedness
Ky THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Fly IHEODO1 At present we Americans have two prime duties. The first is to make pare our army. navy, merchant ma rine, air service, intuition plants, az riculture. food conservation and ev- thing else as speedily as possible, so as to fight this war to complete victorious conclusion.
 The second is not to fool ourselves, but to face the fact of our complete and lamentable unpreparedness, and to inaugurate a policy of permanent preparedness which will prevent our ever again being caught in such humiliating condition.
 The men of the national guard and of the drafted army are of admirable type I do not believe that any other great nation can produce quite the equals on such q scale as we can' The zeal. energy and adaptable intel iigence with which they are doing all they can infthe various camps must be matter of pride for all Amer jeans.
 There is all the more reason why such first-class material should pc given first-class chance for speedy and efficient action. It has not been given that chance. The steps We as . nation are now taking ought to have been taken three years ago. Failure to take them then has meant broomstick preparedness now, Fail- ure to take them as . permanent pol- icy now. means broometick preparedS ness in some future vital crisis when
