DEFENSE

caliber service pistols, and a
large number of hand grenades
to present to nearby enemies.
The job facing the nation today
is to provide adequate manufac-
turing facilities to supply those
weapons for the existing divi-
sions as rapidly as possible, and
to deliver them to the new di-
visions as fast as they are ready
for them. That calls for special
steel for the gun barrels. 1t calls
for machines that can convert
that steel into weapons. And it
calls for men who can operate
those machines. The Army knows
its needs 1t is the job of the
National Defense Advisory Com
mission to find out how we full
fill those requirements without
crowding and confusion. But that
list above is only what a mod
ern infantry regiment can more
or less carry over its shoulder in
the way of weapons.
There are also fast modern
tanks which carry substantial
armor and machine guns. We
will have small ones capable of
galloping over good roads at
thirty-five miles an hour, and
moving over rough ground at a
good clip. And there will be big
ones capable of smuggling it out
with anything that. comes along.
Under new contracts, these steel
turtles are being turned out in
the middle west. The steel in
dustry has already told the Ad-
visory Commission that prepare
tons are under way to increase
production of light armor plate to
meet requirements.
Ammunition Needs = p
That more or less settles the
weapons that the infantry has
handy. But these modern, agile.
war machines can dispose of a
surprising quantity of ammuni-
ton in a short time. For ex-
ample. the MI rifle, with a good
man on the trigger end can fire
over $50 shots in five minutes.
A machine gun can loose about
$500 shots in the direction of the
enemy in the same time. So it
is evident that there will have
to be considerable expansion OF
the nations ammunition facili-
ties in a hurry. And. this in
turn, will call for more powder
plants, and stepping up Of pro-
duction of brass shell cases, and
stee-jacket bullets. All this has
to be done without creating bot
+ tle-necks. without waste motion.
And that's the way it's being
done.

STRAY DOGS RUIN BUSINESS

Editor, The Citizen:
would like to hear from some
public-spirited citizens on the
subject of what may be done re-
garding the stray dog problem
l have appealed repeatedly TO
the proper authorities, including
the mayor and police, with no re-
suit except to be offered a dead
ly poison to spread about. Frank

sooner than / would stick a
knife in a mans back

to put stray dogs to death pain

to help the community would
have to be interested in attend
ing to this duty. ] understand
that we have a city law requir-
ing tags for all dogs and some
one is not fulfilling the LAWN a
way that is hurtful to the COM
munity.

hotel and leave town and was
told just today by a guest in the

that she would leave unless
something was done.

city to help pay salaries and

lection in my business in re-
turn.
Last night and every night,
eight to ten dogs sleep on our
porch and in our chairs and there
are more on the lawn and among
the flowers, which they dig UP
and destroy.

Dispatches from Berlin con-
