Britain's First New Army Struggles With Scarce Equipment
The British army in 1914 15 faced severe shortages in rifles artillery and supporting gear across its first four new armies. Units wrestled with few guns no dial sights or range finders and improvised training weapons. Temporary commissions from schools and universities filled officer shortages as experienced leaders were redeployed. Despite rough beginnings, rapid adaptation and a shortage driven push led to more capable divisions within months, with improved training and morale boosting confidence across ranks.

No Favoritism in Draft Says U S Army Office
Washington says there is no ground for fear of favoritism in the draft. The provost marshal general emphasizes strict adherence to the selective service act. All men within age limits must register with penalties for evasion, and officials linked to evasion face imprisonment. The public response to volunteer service remains strong as boards determine exemptions only in specific cases.
