BY BASIL M. MANLY

DLdL6S IS now entering the war. OOOu
we will be in it up to our necks. But
all authorities agree we will play no
part of military consequence until
we have million armed, trained and
equipped men for the field.
Today The Day Book is able to
present figures showing that it would
be entirely possible for the United
States to start now and train its mil
lion men, and have them on the bat
tIefrOnt THIS YEAR.
The government has already work
ed out plans and figured on what is
needed to equip such an army, in ad-
ditiOn to the stocks on hand.
First of all, let US see what arms
and ammunition an army of 1,00O,-
600 men needs. Careful study by
military attaches of the experiences
of the nations now at war shows that
the absolute minimum requirements
for a million soldiers are as follows:
100000 rifles.
28,8O5 machine guns.
1,20O,OOO,OOO cartridges.
3,208 field guns.
7,3O3,O 900 rounds of field artillery
ammunition.
This represents simply what they
MUST have as initial equipment.
In addition, the investigation of the
U. S. war college show that provision
would have to be made for supplying
EACH MONTH after they enter the
field, one-tweIfth as many rifles, ma
chine guns and field guns and about
One-fOUrth as much small arm and
artillery ammunition as was initially
supplied
Now let US see what the govern
ment has on hand to supply such a
first million men:
Rifles are the first requirement,
and 100000 would be needed. We
find that on Jan. of this year the
government had on hand 1,O23,0OO
rifles, and since that time has prob

Z OAlVl AENlVl IllIVAOELE Z
small arms are concerned, why a
million men could not be IMME-
DIATELY enlisted and started drill
ing. Within three months more the
entire initial supply of rifles needed
could be completed in the govern
ment arsenals alone, and by that
time private plants could be put into
condition to supply regulation army
rifles in enormous quantities.
The army is short on machine
guns.
Fortunately, however, American
manufacture Of machine guns has
been enormously stimulated by
European contracts, and official fig
ures show that private plants in this
country now have a manufacturing
capacity of 100000 machine guns a
year. If orders are placed by April
Is, therefore, it would be possible to
provide 10000 machine guns by the
middle of July.
Both rifles and machine guns re-
quiTe cartridges, and the government
now has on hand a little less than
30O,O0O,OOO rounds, or about ONE
FOURTH Of the required initial sup
ply.
Within six months, however, the
authorities believe, the supply could
be brought up to more than a billion,
which would be just about enough
for the minimum initial supply.
AS far as rifles, machine guns and
small ammunition is concerned,
therefore, there is no reason why the
United States could not be ready
WITHIN SIX MONTHS to equip an
army Of million men, provided ap-
preparations should be made avail
able by congress Immediately!
When we come to artillery, it is a
different situation. It would require
more than a year to manufacture
