These reports show : The militia *?f the United States Is, as a luxly, jioorly Instructed. Tito roast artillery Is short of iucn ami ammunition. ^ .?> Hr?' control systems In forests arc improvised ami unsatisfactory. Searchlights, listed as "absolute est hontlals," an1 largely wanting. JCvery Infantry regiment should be equipped with 21 machine guns, with motors. Instead of mules, for carrying. (Rivalry machine gun companies of one-inch nuns are needed. The militia forces of the entire Unit ed States numltcr 127. IHH) on paper. The actual muster rolls show ini.oou. Not more than militia have been found ready for "Immediate" ser vice when called. Ten <|jttys after the order to mobilise the militia on the Mexican border "Im mediately," less than 10,000 had en trained. In Florida out of soo enrolled in a regiment over (too were found to be physically unlit for service. The mobilization of the militia at the border leaves the coast artillery without its dci>ciided-u|>ou reserve to man one-half of the lotteries of the home forts. In the Civil war the north had 127, 000 officers, equal to the maximum es timates of the entire National (Jnard now under orders. If the orders had come to protect the northern Instead of the southern Inirder, the Uutted States would be facing 400,000 trained veterans of a first class power. , Factories are putting out about 25, <KM> time fuses for shrapnel and high explosive shells ]K*r day.- The output should lie in excess of 90,000 per day. The National (Jnard was without properly trained artillery and cavalry organizations. Animals, held under option by Hie tfuard. while tit for drill purposes, were found unfit for actual army ser vice. The guard is without ammunition trains. Officers and men of the supply de partments were lacking In previous ex perience in actual movement and sup ply of troops. k Wm. L.

Only a small iwicrnln^' of auiuiuiil tion for ticid ?*uhK is on hand. There is no si cue artillery in the Na tional (iiiard and no heavy Held moui tors or liowii/.ers. ten inch and upward, , which have proved so valuable in the Furopcun war. The regular army also lacks this equipment. The system of expanding the Nation-1 ill tJuard to war strength Is demon strated to he inadequate. Animunition trains ami ammunition for needed field artillery organizations could not he supplied In less than one and one-half years. No provision or appropriation has been made, for guns for volunteers. Militia cavalry Is poorly mOuilted I and has little or no Held training. Engineers. signal and medical troops , are insufficient in number and deti- i (lent Iii organization. The regular army and militia ? troops of the first line of defense ? in their present condition will furnish j less than 00t(H)0 men within 30 days. The losses of Nh? first month of war; would be at least 15 per cent. Militia organizations were unprepar ed to move more than ?'i per cent of their war strength oh call. The eonndned strength of regulars and militia found ready to meet the first shock of attack was one-fifth of the number considered necessary by the geueral staff. At present rate of progress It will be years before we accumulate guns and ammunition to equip 500,000 regu lars. militia and volunteers. War department says 1.202 guns are needed, and 034. less than one-half, are actually completed. Approximately 240 are under contract. The latter will not be completed for at least eighteen months. These figures |?ro\*le no guns for coast guard troops or for a second army of volunteers. ? ; There are made and under contract ?'{() per cent of ammunition for 1,202 guns. Only half of this, or 15 i>er cent, is actually completed. For guns actually on hand and un der manufacture there is of ammuni tion on hand in the making about 41 I lor cent. Actually on baud approxi mately 20 per cent. For guns actually made, O.'il. there Is 27 per cent of the ammunition neces sa ry. For guns now in hands of regulars and militia there is 4.4 per cent, of necessary ammunition. The present entire gun building re sources of the United States, working day and night, <*ouhl not make good our deficiencies in guns and ammuni tion within eighteen months. Eighteen months is a i>erlod which > exceeds the length of most wars and j within which period the issue would ; probably be determined. The regular army and militia are now equipped only for police duty and ! untrained for war. To start the lirsti expeditionary army on a in j nor opera- j tion would require three complete tac- 1 tical infantry divisions with their nec essary artillery; three cavalry brigades and the necessary auxiliary'troops. If we could sturt on such an ex|*? dltion now into Mexico not a trained soldier, regular or jnilitia. would he ; loft to guard thf bonier. In the event of foreign Invasion the country would rely upon volunteers without artillery to defend our coast or borders. That portion of the militia now ef ficient an <1 ready for service could l?e placed in the Yale Bowy and still hiive room for a game of foot Wall. Small arms, including guns made and under manufacture, number 000. This is not sufficient to equip a second volunteer army. This force would increase at a pace for beyond the capacity of arms factories to meet. The reserve of small arms should not be less than 1,2&),000, according to experts. The country is practically without reserve of uniforms, tentage and simi lar materials. Ammunition trains, cm era! reserve of ' transportation and ade quate plans? to supply them arc luck ing. To officer a total force of l.OOO.WH) rtien, 2T>.(HK) trained men would be re quired. The United States pla(*ed ft-T.nOO men in the war of 1812. Many were untrained raw levies. This tyix* of troops abandoned the capital to an In vader of efficient forces, but Jess than one-half in number. The personnel of the National t.'nard is high today, but the ten days just passed demonstrated its lack of train ing. A Business Man's Prayer. A wholesale fruit man of Spring field, Mass., has had this "prayer" I>aiuted in larue letters on a wall of his building so that passengers can gee It from the tralus. It contains much homely common-sense : Teach me that 60 minutes make ah hour, 16 ounces one pound, and 100 cents one dollar. Help me to live so that I can lie down at night with a clear conscience and unhaunted by the faces of those to whom I have brought pain. Orant that I may earn my meal ticket on the square. Deafen me to the jingle of tainted money and the m."t!e of ui holy skirts. Blind me to the ftiults of the other fellows, but re veal to me mine own. Guide ine no that each night when I look across the dinher table at my wife, -who has been a blessing to me, I will have nothing to comcftl. Keep we young enough to laugb with my\ children. An<| when come the smell of flowers and the tread of soft steps, and the crunching of Irheela out la front, the ceremony hort and the epitaph aiiaple : "Here RUB OUT PAIN with good oil liniment.
