THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, MONDAY, SEPT. 23, 1918.

20,000 MEN FOR NAVY MONTHLY IS NEW RULING I i T Majority of Men for Navy and Marine Corps to Come From Run of Draft. WASHINGTON. Sept. 23. The propram under which the navy and the Marine Corps will secure the men herafter needed was announced today by Secretary Daniels after conferences with representatives of his department, the Marine Corps and the Provost Marshel General's office. The navy Is to have an average of 15,000 men monthly, while the Marine Corps will get 5,000 monthly for four months and 1,500 each month thereafter. Of the navy's allotment of 15,000 it may enlist or enroll men who have special qualifications for certain navy work, but the remainder will come from "the run of the draft," navy officials cutting out skilled men to meet as far as possible the special needs of the service. Men who now hold or may hereafter be given deferred classification, on account of dependency, will be permitted to enlist In the navy, as the higher pay given is exnected to do away with the possibilitity of hardships to the dependents. Those who have had previous service In the navy also will be permitted to re-enllst. In no case, however, not even from the draft, will the navy accept men who cannot read, write and speak the English language, nor will it accept men not citizens of the United States or conscientious objectors. Much the same system will be followed In enlisting men both in the navy and Marine Corps. Naval recruiting stations will be known as "mobilization centers," each having a definite territory to serve and they will be established at central points. Marine Corps recruiting offices also will be kept open. Mobilization Points. Men desiring to enter either the navy or marine corps will be required to make application at the proper recruiting office. When men are accepted for the navy the mobilization officers will apply for them through their draft boards, but in the case of men qualified to enter the marine corps the recruiting officer will send a request to the Provost Marshal General for their enrollment, the Provost Marshal General then will order the local boards having jurisdiction to enroll them. Naval mobilization points were announced by Secretary Daniels as follows: Boston Mobilization point for Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. New York City For New York and New Jersey. Philadelphia' For Delaware and Pennsylvania. Washington, D. C For "District of Columbia and Maryland. Norfolk For Georgia, Alabama and Florida. New Orleans For Loutsana and Mississippi. Oklahoma City For Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas. Chicago For Michigan, Illinois Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin. Minneapolis For Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota. Cincinnati For Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee and Kentucky. St. Louis For Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas. San Francisco For California, Nevada and Arizona. Seattle For Idaho, Oregon, Montana and Washington. Salt Laku City For Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. The navy mobilization inspectors will be located as follows: Eastern Division New York. Southern Division New Orleans. Central Division Chicago. Western Division San Francisco.

American Ingenuity Shown in Gun Construction Overseas

( By Associated Press.) CENTRAL- FRANCE. Sept. 23. American ingenuity is fast making itself felt in tb construction of field guns in the vast workhouse of the ordnance branch of the American army here. One of the American designs which has won strong favor with the French experts Is the "split trailer" which extends back of the gun from the wheels down to the ground. From the earliest days of gunnery this trailer has been a single piece. But the Americans have split it in two from the ground up, so that two great legs spread out backward from a cannon. The results have been astonishing, permitting an ordinary field piece to be elevated to 80 degrees, or almost straight up. The American design has now been adopted as the standard French model, and it is going into all the new guns made at French arsenals. Official photographs made by the ordnance branch are now going forward for public exhibition in America showing this split trailer firing at an elevation of 73.40 degrees. Here could be seen also every form of the death-dealing machine-gun which became such a fromidable weapon in the present war. "This is an age of mechanical warfare," said the officer as he pointed out the different types, French, English, American, as well as German and Austrian. "There were no machineguns used in the civil war, only a few in the Spanish-American and Boer wars; more in the Russo-Japanese and Balkan wars, and now they have developed to a foremost place as an effective and deadly means of warfare." Build Machine Guns. Most of the nations are making two forms of these machine guns, the heavy type weighing about 30 pounds, mounted on a tripod and drawn by a mule, and the lighter automatic rifle weighing about 15 pounds, fired from the shoulder like an ordinary rifle, and carried by hand as it is not much

heavier than the standard 10-pound rifle. Both types of these guns fire

steady streams of lead as the belts of bullets are fed into the reservoirs, the only limit being the amount of ammunition which can be carried. With each automatic rifle are three men one to fire and one to keep up the steady feeding of ammunition. The new type of American machine gun makes a favorable appearance in this array of makes from all the nations. It is coming over in large quantities now, and most of the Amercan divisions now arriving come with their machine-gun sections equipped with the new American model. At the training camps, the tests have given the best results, but the real test of battle action Is still to come as most of the divisions on the fighting line obtained their machine-gun equipment before the new model was ready. In this same arsenal one could compare the rifles and bayonets of all the combatant troops. The American bayonet looked like a long, sharpedged knife. But the French bayonet was more like a slender rapier, two feet long and without cutting edge, meant for stabbing. The Russian bayonet has no sharp point but is like a screwdriver with a flat edge, cutting and stabbing at the same time. And .besides the guns of all kinds is the ammunition stored in vast quantities in arsenals and -warehouses and in huge parks and ammunition dumps all the way from the coast up to the fighting front. The great stacks of shell are very orderly in arangement, each stack representing a car-load and each graded by caliber and lot-number. Each lot of shells differs slightly in power, and the only way to insure uniform accuracy in the fire of a battery is to keep it supplied with the same lot of shells. 8,400 Men at Work. Separate from the shells, are the fuses and grenades kept in small detached lots owing to their highly explosive character. In one of these

grenade dumps there were 18 different kinds of gas, hand and rifle grenades. There are now some 8,400 men, formerly skilled mechanics in large American factories, who are enlisted as soldiers, carrying on this huge work

I of keeping up the supply of guns and i ammunition. Realizing the need of 'LI 1 1 1 ; 1 1 J r

j mgmy smiiea men ior mis worn in ! France, a special recruiting campaign was carried on in many of the American industrial centers last winter. The i result is shown in the equipment of

skilled workmen comparing with the best factory sections. It is largely a patriotic service in which skilled mechanics have given

up large wages to accept soldiers' pay l of $30 a month. The foreman of one

of the extensive Detroit automobile factories, who received $200 a week, is now a volunteer among these enlisted men , receiving $30 a month.

' There are scores of cases of this kind.

On the way from the seacoast to this great center of American ordnance supply, one sees along the way ont only vast stocks of material and

NO REASON FOR IT

When Richmond Citizens Show a Way. There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the pains and dangers of kidney ills will fail to heed the words of a neighbor who has found relief. Read what a Richmond citizen says: Mrs. M. N Hutzel. 722 N. Thirteenth St., says: "I had kidney complaint and suffered a great deal from backache and pains through my kidneys. I felt dull mornings. My work tired me and I often had a dizzy headache. My kidreys acted irregularly, too. WThen I read about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got some from Quigley's Drug Store, and they soon put my kidneys in good shape. The backaches left me and I am now free from the headaches and dizzy spells."

In one of the zones back of the war zone, brigades of artillery, with 7.400 men to the brigade, were completing their training and equipment and about to move forward men with their field guns and this was but one branch

There is a time of great sacrifice ahead of us; the most patriotic woman WILL BE THE ONE WHO FINDS HAPPINESS IN WHAT SHE DOES WITHOUT rather than in what sh CONSUMES and the woman who serves most intelligently will be the one who is MOST INGENIOUS IN FINDING NEW WAYS TO MAKE OLD THINGS LAST LONGER. You MUST THINK of BVERYTHING in TERMS of MANPOWER!" THAT IS WHERE WE COME IN Our business is CLEANING. MENDING, PRESSING.
