VAST WASTAGE OF EQUIPMENT }

S EVIL OF WAR

Single Division in World War Used 16,000 Pairs of Shoes Each Month.

By MARSHALL MNEIL Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. a waste of life; but war waste of material Generally, it might be supposed that if each soldier had a gun, a pistol, a gas mask and a uniform, he would be ready for the field. But, actually, war—and even the training for war-—entails vast wastage of the implements that a soldier must use, and of the clothing he must wear That is a major reason why there has been included in the immense Second National Defense Appropriation Bill such large sums of money for material to equip the armed forces this country will eventually have This question of wastage was discussed when Maj. Gen. George C Marshall, the Chief-of-Staff, appeared before the House Appropriations Committee to testify in support of the extraordinary appropriations contained in the bill just reported favorably to the House,

Pequipment Perishable “The first equipment provided a soldier.” Gen. Marshall said, “such as clothes. gas mask, as well as rifle and machine gun, unfortunately does not last for a long time Im other words, the wastage, aside from captures, is nemendous In my own division (in the World War), afver the first great German offensive of March, 1918, there were 72 guns in the artillery brigade, and they were firing continuously dquring the five weeks of action. My recollection is that the rate of fire exploded a gun almost every @ay “If vou multiply the guns disabled by explosions alone by the number of days in action, you will see how the original number of 72 grew smaller Consider a division of 25000, of the type we had in France. Each month it had to be issued about 14 - 000 new uniforms or suits of clothes, complete with underclothing, shirts, trousers and so forth. In the case of shoes & little more than that was requred, or about 16000 pairs a month. Division Reclothed

“I have a note of a division during the Meuse-Argonne that entered the action on Sept. 26 and came out on Oct. 2. The report of the inspector-general showed that the division needed practicaliv an entire re-issue of clothing. Tt was not unusual for a division coming out of action to requisition Mom 3000 to 5000 sets of personal squipment mess Kits, canteens, gas masks. clothing and so forth “I have the record of another division that was in action for Jess than & week, and when it came out it was short 44 machine guns, 504 automatic rifles, 1500 pistols and 3000 riftes
