WHERE WE ARE. AT!
As to Big Guns, We Simply Were at Nowhere
Ten Months Aso-But Uncle Sam VIII
Surely Make Big Noise When Proper
Time Arrives.

The United States entered the weak in artillery every
other branch OF army service As long in Croze
Chief Of Ordnance asking Congress appropriations sufficient
Iso additional batteries of field aywhch would give
MS $50 batteries two for army 100000
said:
The Washington herald., 1918-04-12

neuiuo In ffouuctlOn.
Ammunition and mobile artil-
lery are the items of material in
which the military preparation is
most behind" And Congress pro-
yided for eleven batteries-at which
rate IL would have taken till 1923
to complete even this limited pro-
gram!
From that time until we were
face to face with war late in 1916,
no artillery appropriation as large
as 100000 was made in any one
year. In 1916 Congress provided
SIC. 1921, 900 for artillery.
How meager this sum was to
prepare us for our real war re-
quirements is shown by the fact
that-after we really were in war
Congress provided 1896. 800. 900 for
artillery. OF this sum S17l, 80. coo
was appropriated June Is. 1917, and
S225, coo 900 October 6.
In addition TO government arse
nails. there were in this country
when we entered the war just two
plants capable OF producing gun
forgings-the Midvale and Bethe-
lehem Steel Companies
Since April. 1877. six large forging
establishments for the production
OF artillery have been brought into
existence and the same number of
great machine shops have been
erected and equipped for the man
ufacture OF these forgings into fin
ished guns.
While these plants are getting un-
der way We are getting for the equip
ment OF our artillery forces abroad
the famous French 70 millimeter field
guns and l55 millimeter guns and
howitzers.
Tardieu's Opinion.
Andre Tardieu, French high COM
missioner. says:
''FSom the industrial viewpoint. the
unity of effort created will produce
happy results without precedent. From
the financial standpoint it is possible
to hope that the purchase by the
United States of French artillery ma
| terial will create an improvement in
| exchange, much to be desired. From
the military point of view 1t il evil
dent that uniformity Of type Of guns
and munitions for armies fighting on
the same battlefields is an appreciable
guarantee OF efficiency"
| Gen. Bliss, former Chief OF Stan,
/ after a personal investigation in
| France. reported that the production
| OF artillery had been established upon
! 50 large a scale that our allies would
| be able TO equip completely all
American divisions as they arrive in
! France during the year 19ls," and that
resolutions requesting America to
take this course had been adopted by
the French ministry OF munitions.
Guns for Navy.
As sorely as the army has needed
| artillery for training men at hom,
! and equipping them abroad, the navy
! has needed guns even worse. Great
| praise has been given the navy for the
efficiency shown in providing anc
arming hundreds OF patrol boats
! eQuipping our merchantmen with
| naval guns for defense against sub.
marines. and fitting out a rapidly in.
| creasing number OF destroyers. The
War Department was contributing
from its resources for the armament
| of these vessels.
At the Watervliet arsenal-a Wal
Department gun plant-production has
been centered not on field artillery OF

INDOOR LIFE
MAKES FAT
Try Fresh Air and Harmless
Oil of Korein to Reduce
Superfluous Weight

Those who are deprived of fresh,
invigora ting al and exercise must
take precaution to guard against over
stoutness, as fat acquired by indoor
life is unhealthy and a danger to the
vital organs of the body.
If you are above normal weight
You are daily drawing on your reserve
strength and are constantly lowering
your vitality by carrying this excess
burden. If you are too stout you
should go to good druggist and get
a box of oil of korein capsules, take
one after each meal and one just be-
fore retiring at night. and follow the
other simple directions that come
with the box. This method is guar
anteed. a&
Even a few days treatment has
been reported to show a noticeable
reduction in weight, improved digesz
ton and a return of the old energy.
A buoyant feeling replaces sluggish
ness, the step becomes lighter, the
flesh firm and the skin smooth, as
superfluous fat disappears.
Oil of korein is easy to use. cannot
injure and helps the digestion. Any
person who wants to reduce ten to
sixty pounds is advised to give this
guaranteed treatment a triaI-Adv.

Report Many Cases
of Rheumatism Now
Says we must keep feet dry:
avoid exposure and eat
less meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posture, keep feet dry. eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to
keep down uric acid.
rheumatism is caused by poison
GUS toxin. called uric acid, which is
generated in the bowels and absorbed
into the blood 1t is the function of
the kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine.
The pores of the skin are also a means
of freeing the blood of this impurity.
In damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing the
kidneys TO do double work, they be-
come weak and sluggish ard fail to
eliminate this uric acid, which keeps
accommodating and circulating thru the
system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles, causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumat iStl.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a ia tablespoon
full in a glass OF water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from. the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent lithia-water drink
which oVerComes uric acid and is ben
eficial to your kidneys as well.-Adv.

LOCALlZE PRODUCTION
Every Section of u S. Must Produce
p Own Food Supply.

Washington. March 20.-Every sec
ton of the country must produce its
own food supply: the rail lines must
be relieved of much distribution of
food and feed
FACING the heaviest volume of traf-
-fic in the history of transportation in
this country, the railroad administra-
ztion today was bending every effort to
relieve the carriers of the usual bur
den of distributing local food supplies
The railroad administration and the
department of agriculture have COM
bined to convince the farmers of the
south, especially of the need of in
creasing the local production of food.
Military demands upon the trans
portation system are not 50 great in
the west as in the south But every
car available is needed and when one
section produces food crops it never
produced before. the whole nation
profits, officials say.

Milwaukee, March 20.-The result
of yesterdays primary was still in
doubt as between Thompson, La Fol-,
lette candidate, and Lenroot. Berger,
Socialist, carried Milwaukee county by
a vote equal to that of Lenroot and
Thompson. The city vote, practically
complete, was Berger IL ,469, Thomp-
son 9,917, Lenroot 6,181.

about SO per cent to be heard from.

race between Lenroot and Thompson

him majority sufficient to overcome
