TWENTY MILES

What the New Army Canton

w aohaNAktOnI 0aaaN -
miles Of khaki-colored soldiers will
be encamped in the edge Of Louisville
when the great army cantonment at
that place, on which work has already
been started, is ready and occupied.
This suggestion is based upon official
figures of the War Department, which
give some idea Of the gigantic prcpor-
tons Of the new conscript army Of
625, 900 that will be put in these
camps for training. A.
At each or the sixteen environments
which the War Department says must
be constructed before September /,
there will be full division OF infant
ry,T which, with additional troops,
such as heavy artillery aero squad
rons and balloon companies, will
swell the number al, each, camp. to
about 10000,
| This does not take Into considera-
tiop the national guard and regular
army at war strength. organizations
whichswill be swelled to a force Of
75O, 900 men. M
This IS what a division Of infantry
means in mobile equipment to each
Of the sixteen environments: Six thou
sand eight hundred and fory-six
horses; 4,875 mules, 1909 wagons, Of
which $50 are to carry the rations,
fifty three-inch guns, twenty-five
three-eighth-inch howitzers, ninety
two machine guns, 80, 600 rifles, sixty
seven motor trucks, twelve motor
cars, sixty-four motor cycles, twelve
aeroplanes, forty eight ambulances,
and three hundred and twenty EIGHT
other carriages. ..' 3
Ifthe division is motorized, the mil
tary column will be cut a mile in
length, and there will be a material
reduction in G the number of horses
and mules. The equipment of a di-
vision when motor transportation is
substituted for horse and mule-drawnl
wagons is 1857 mules, 6,713 horses,
thirty-four motor cars, 627. motor
