Both" rifles and machine guns re.
quire cartridges, and the government
now has on hand Il little less than
300, 900, 900 rounds, or about nj
fourth of the required initial supply.
Within six months, however, the all.
thorities believe, the supply could be
b%roughtup 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, there

ed States could not be ready within
six months to equip an army-0f a mil

should be made available b. congress
Immediately.
When we come to artillery, it is a
different. situation. 1t would require
more than a year to manufacture
enough field guns to equip an army
of a million. 800.
To rely pm our own artillery, there.
FORE. it Isl imperative that big gun
factories be built and equipped imme.
diately.
The a department has only
$50, 600 rounds of artillery ammuni.
ton on hand, but thanks to practice
on shell orders for the allies, Ameri.
can private plants would have no diff
in providing all the ammuni.
ton needed.
Summing up the situation. there is
no reason why the United States
could not arm and equip an army of
a million men just as soon as they
can be trained for trench fighting.
Before Christmas, the stars and
stripes could easily be waving over a

western front. ....

A Mistake.

While the railroad men Of Dickin-
son are very patriotic, and would
tear any German flag to shreds, if
they should see anything like it in the
city, still they v had such an op.
p%ortunity, as reported in a Mandan
and Fargo paper of recent date.
The story about the railroad men Of
Dickinson selling a German in Dick
inson for floating a German flag.
which was reported in the mentioned
papers last week, is manufactures, be-

Staff Special.
Washington, D. c., April 23.-Tht
United States is now entering the
war. Soon we will be in it up to Oul
necks. But all authorities agree we
will play no part of military conse'
quence until we have a million armed,
trained and equipped men for the
field. l,2
Today the Daily Tribune 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 IN the bat.
t%lefront, this year.
The government has already worked
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 1000, 900
men needs. Careful study by military
attaches Of the experiences of the ma
tons now at war shows that the alb
solute minimum requirements for a
million soldiers are as follows:
1900, 900 rifles >.-
28,S05 machine guns.
1900, 900 900 cartridges! ir'
3208 field guns.b aNl To- 3, .
1908, 900 ;roundHnof field artillery
ammunition. vffG - r., .
This represents simply what they
muset have as initial equipment.
In addition, the investigations of
the u. S. war college show that pro.
vision would have to be made for sup
plying each month after they enter
the field, one.twelfth as many rifles,
machine guns and field guns and
about %one-fourth as much small arm
and artillery ammunition as was mi.
TALLY supplied.
Now let US see What. the govern
ment has on N bar haa4pdt I to Is supply such a

WILL PREACH TODAY
 ID MEN AND BOYS ONLY

Last night say the end of the sec ond week of the great revival Dr. Theodore Copeland. the pastor, has been doing all the preaching" He took for his text: "What Think Ye of Jesus?' He spoke of the difference of opinion of the man who had re- ligion and the sinner as to the sti- mate he placed on Jesus. He com pared the words of Christ with the words of a poet, and sayings of other great men. He showed that all the great men had never saved a man from his sins, but that the Immacu- late Conception of Jesus Christ had made good men out of the vilest of sinners.
 Dr. Copeland's sermons have had great effect on the people. He has a great big heart that reaches out for humanity and breaches such a simple gospel that it strikes deep to the heart and conscience of his hear CTS. If you do not take advantage of hearing the wonderful preaching, you are your worst enemy.
 Special service for men and boys only will be held at 8 p. m He has a great theme on Temptation" he wishes to deliver one time while in Pine Bluff-All of our men and boys in the city, regardless of denomina- ton, should hear him in this won- derful subject.

 Mrs. Vaughn will be remembered by those women who benefited by her lectures when she was last here sev- eral years ago, as a woman of more than charming personality and one whose knowledge of the problems which confront the average woman in the home, is without bounds.
 During the week of May 28, there will be at the Shriner's temple, pre- ceding the lecture, musical program that is sure to entertain the woman who is musically inclined. This will begin at 2 o'clock and consume one. half hour Mrs. Vaughn will at 2:3( p. m. lecture on one or another of the problems that today are attracting the attention of all classes of people.

HUNTING COATS ARE POPULAR
New Form of Sport Wrap Produced by Designers as Smart Substitute for Sweaters of Recent Years.

The designers have. rather tired of the sweater as it has existed for three years, and have introduced the velvet hunting coat us a smart substitute. The ultra-fashionable woman is al- ready adopting this form of sport wrap. One of the smart models is in raspberry red velvet embroidered in tarriished gold and raspberry red silk. The effect is subdued. because only a slight embroidery pattern is used, and it melts into the color of the velvet. Another coat fs in Robin Hood green, with it's seams irregular and smartly shaped and it's rolling collar lined with old gold satin
 Snuff brown embroidered in dull gold, makes another of these garments, and black velvet lined with a figured foulard and faced with raspberry red satin, Is offered for those who indulge In the early spring sports in the coun- try.
 From the way that these garments are meeting with approbation, it looks as though they will be much smarter than the sweater. It is an interesting fashion note and will undoubtedly please many women who feel that the sweater is not quite the kind of gar ment they want for certain affairs.
 These coats will be worn over knife plaited skirts of fine white serge or poplin, but the dressmakers offer more especially the plain skirt of twine col- cred crepe de chine, in that heavy quality that Is offered for sport usage.
