The Fate of the Unprepared Among the remarkable events of this war no fact stands out more startlingly than the tragic sacrifice of Russia's unequipped soldiers. The army has been victimized by in- trigue and treachery. Guns were sent to the front without ammunition and ammunition without guns. Supplies were provided that when unpacked proved to be rubbish. Left stranded by communications that broke down under slight pressure the brave Rus- sian troops hurled themselves again and again against foes perfectly prepared. From the very verge of victory they dog- gedly fell back fighting with stones and clubs and iron bars, resisting heroically but ineffectively. No thought can be more abhorrent to 2 ies One Policy One System Americans than that of our boys ruthlessly slaughtered because of lack of equipment or support which it is the first business of us at home to supply. Our Government, never before so power- ful, is working prodigiously in the prepara- tion of armies and means of warfare. Throughout the nation there is a unity of purpose that is piling on the altar of liberty every personal ambition and corporate gain. Mines, factories, farms, shipyards, the counting houses and shops of every indus- try are laboring day and night to supply the sinews of war. The Bell System is co-operating to mo- bilize production, transportation and com- munication, and is using its every energy to speed up American defense.
