Funcionando va la ametralladora y
ante la mas reciente aparicion del au-

la idea de construir alguna %maquina

muchos ,especialmente entire los in

escritos e ilustraciones de La Carica-

"tanques.
Pero, como dice la Biblia, "mejor es

follow as rapidly as quarters and

Equipment Moves Satisfactorily
In statement tonight. the war de-
partment says that the enormous task
of obtaining equipment of supplies for
the army is moving satisfactorily.
Some of the men of the National Army
may be only partially equipped for
some time after they are modified.
and no attempt will be made to fur
nish them with full war equipment un-
til the eve of their departure for Eur
ope. Some civilian clothing. such as
overcoats, will have to be used for a
time. as the clothing industry has not
as vet caught up with its work
With the mobilization of one-half
of the 6S7. 900 of the first call under the
selective law the question arises as
to whether that number of men will
be sufficient to fill all units u the
National Guard and National ARMY.
There are indications that a deficiency
in men will be disclosed when official
reports from all the 80 training camps
are available and that it will be neces-
sary to make second call on the
drafted forces or to train incomplete
divisions.
Divisions will go to France only at
maximum strength.
