At Fort Riley, it took a week for the sovereign state of Kansas and the government of the United States to supply clothing, blankets and mess kits to 2000 men, many of whom were partially supplied when they came to camp.

At the camp, men waited until others had finished eating to borrow their mess kits, doubled up on blankets or slept without, and wore part civilian at tire a week before they were equipped. A few new guns, according to the labels on the boxes packed in 1909, were issued to the men without arm. The rest went to the front with old guns, many of which were unfit for use. All this confusion was caused by the handling of 2,000 men. If there had been a call for volunteers there would have been much suffering In the name of patriotism.

But the results must have been highly gratifying to those individu als who Insist that we are too proud to fight. Either we should not try to prepare at all, or do It well.
