HOW FAST CAN UNCL
BY BASIL M. MANLY
Washington, April THE United
States is now entering the war. Soon
we will be in it up to our necks. But
all authorities agree we viii play no
part of military consequence until
we have a 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
tlefront 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,OOO,-
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.
28,805 machine guns.
1900, 100000 cartridges.
3,2O8 field guns.
100000 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 |
ZACH MONTH after they enter the /
field, one-twelfth 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:
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-04-07

E SAM ARM HIMSELF?
Rifles are the first requirement,
and 100000 would be needed. We
find that on Jan. 1 Of this year the
government had on hand 1,023,OOO
rifles, and since that time has prob
ably added about $4,000 more. There
is no reason, therefore, as far as
small arms are concerned, why a
million men could not be IMAIE-
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 il 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-
quire cartridges, and the government
now has on hand a little less than
300,000,000 rounds, OF about ONE
Of the required initial sup
ply.
Within six months, however, the
authorities believe, the supply could
be brought up to more than 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

May FIRST RED LETTER
DAY FOR CARBURY
A Festal Occasion Arranged for Cor
geOus and Replete May Baskets
to be One Feature of Event.
National Songs to be Sung by Assem-
blage-SchoOl Chorus to Lead
in Singing.

May Day will witness an unusual
event for Carbury. Plans we're COM
pleted last week for a monster festal
occasion to be held under the auspices
of the Carbury Schools. The occasion
provides for a real celebration. The
experiences derived from such an oc-
casion will bring to each one present
a spirit of good will and gladness. In
order that real merriment may hold
sway, we ask everyone to bring a
May Basket filled with those things
BETTING a partnership feast. By so
doing you will support a beneficial en-
terprise. We remind you that the div
idends secured from the sale of the
May Baskets will go towards the pay
ment of the school piano.
While making your plans, do not
forget that the audience will be asked
to join in the singing of u rousing
National songs which will be found
printed on this page. All who do not
know the words are requested to learn
them before the meeting or bring
a copy along. By this method the en-
tire gathering may join in the sing
ing and make it an inspiring and STIR
ring part Of the program. A large
chorus, composed of the pupils of the
Carbury schools will lead in the sing
ing of our National anthems.
The program will begin promptly
at $3.50 o'clock. This time of the eve
ming has been selected for the coun-
try folks. 1t is hoped that many of
them will be able to finish the chores
an hour or so earlier that evening
and bring the family to this great
get-together occasion. Remember,
however, that this celebration is open
to all. All the farmers and their FAM
lilies as we'll as the business men and
| ciyt folks are asked to join.
There is every indication that this
event or celebration will be the great
est and biggst affair of the year: An
attendance is expected that will fill
the assembly room to overlooking. We
shall be glad to see you!

A GREAT, PATRIOTIC
COMMUNAL CONFERENCE
Noted Speaker Will Visit Carbury-
Ambitious and Unique Plan
Adopted.
Town and Country Invited to Coop
erate-it Will be all of Us's Event

Carbury will celebrate May Day in
the nature of a patriotic community
conference rally. The noted Univer-
sity professor, DR.. j. M. Gillette, head
of the department of Sociology at the
University Of North Dakota, will be
the speaker at the meeting. His ad-
dress will be of a patriotic-educationa
nature. Here is a challenge to your
patriotism! Will you be present?
Those who have heard DIR. Gillette
speak on other occasions will be very
DESTROYS of hearing him again. Do
not fail to hear him!
The community conference idea,
which has been formulated and adopt
ed, contains the germ of real progress
in rural community betterment. This
idea, when once started in a town or
village, grows of itself and spreads
till the whole community is imbued
with the spirit and the feeling of
cheer; and good fellowship reigns
supreme.
The Carbury Schools hope to enlist
the cooperation of every Individual
of the community in this rally. We
desire to make this event an occasion
for the expression Of a strong pat
riotic community spirit. Why not
apply the plan vigorously and bring
others with you? You r cordially
invited.

THE STAR sPANGLED BANNER.
Oh! say, can you see, by the dawns early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twiights last cleaning,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the pernous fight,
Ger the ramparts we watchd, were so galantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thru the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star spangled banner still wave
Der the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
Oh! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and wild wars desolaton;
Blest with victry and peace, may the heavn-rescued land
Praise the powr that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave
Der the land of the free, and the home of the brave.

GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS

At the cost of small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifier,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh
lemons into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white. Care should
be taken to strain the juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that lem
on juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallownesS
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces or
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it daily
into the face, neck, arms and hands. 1t
should naturally help to whiten, soften.

MONEY LENDER PlTIED POOR
Chinese ShyIock- in Manchuria Gave
Annual Sum for Relief Work to
Relieve His Conscience.

A wealthy Chinese money lender In
Manchuria was recently convicted of
making false declaration regarding
robberies of his caravans by MOngolian
bandits. His conscience troubled him
to such an extent that he offered to
contribute an annual sum of $3.50 for
the relief of the poor, East and West
says. This money was made the basis
of q fund for feeding the helpless at
Kungchuling.
Manchuria Is terribly poor, despite
the mineral and agricultural riches ex-
tracted from it's soil and rocks, all OF
which products are shipped abroad.
There are probably thousands of indus
trious natives unable, by unremitting
toll to earn more than meager liv-
ing. When to their natural difficulties
are added the ravages of bandits and
the evils of misgovernment, such as
now prevail in many parts of China,
abject poverty and starvation must~be
the lot of the people who, in the best
of times, are only half fed.

METROPOLIS OF THE WILDS
Thousand People, Has Good Trout
Fishing Within Limits.

A city of q hundred and fifty thou
sand people that has good trout fishing
within its city limits and Indians liv-
ing in their tepees mile and a half
away is something that you cannot
grasp unless you know the West. And
even if you do, Spokane would strike
you as something of a surprise. 1t
looks as though it had been built yes
terday in what was virgin wilderness
the day beforehand yet made complete
with street cars and electric lights and
everything that you could find in a
New England town, except, perhaps,
the cultured atmosphere.
The Spokaneites do not miss the Gull
tured atmosphere. If you asked about
it they would probably tell you that
they prefer the smell of the pines. For
they are an OutdOOrs-living crew. A
citizen of Spokane may attend board
of directors meeting in the heart of
the city at 10 a. M. and at 4 p. m.
he may be hunting bear. The noun
tains crowd right down upon the city
and there are fifty lakes within ra-
diuS of hundred miles.
Spokane, like Rome, was not built in
a day, but it was set up at a rate that
makes all of those old saws about how
long it takes to do things look hollow
and meaningless. 1t was only in 1858
that the Indians got their first decisive
defeat in this region and the first loco
motive arrived in 1881. BY 1890 they
had something of a town started, but
it was wiped out by fire that year.
The real growth began when the
river was turned into electric power
10000 horse. From this giant dynamo
electricity reaches out through the can
yons to hundreds of mines, driving the
power trans into the bowels of the
mountains, bringing wealth to the city,
which sits like a spider at the center
of it's mighty web or current.

On the Casualty List.

A gallant infantry officer who had
faced a hundred perils and returned
home from furlOugh without scratch
met with misfortune the first night
home, says London Tit-Bits. In the
black darkness of a side street he COL
lided with a porter's barrow and sus-
tanned a broken arm. The limb healed
nicely, but so long as it reposed in a
sling the owner was pestered with kind
inquiries from admirfng friends who
were blissfully unaware of the real
cause of the injury. The limit was
reached one day when he encountered
former business rival, who at once
alluded to the now hateful subject:
by Jove, old fellow, l envy you
with that eloquent testimony of your
prowess. In what action did YOU
come by it?"
Hang it, SIR" was the testy reply,
"can't you read the blessed war news
for yourself?'
