The New York 2ss.es thus explains the
reasons Of this call:
This call is not entirely unexpected It
may not be generally known, but It is never
theiess strictly true, that under the last call
tor two hundred thousand additional men ir
February, the Government has actually re-
ceived far less number of men than 1t called
for, though most of the States have filed
their quotas. The reason is plain. 1t was
announced that TIE last call was for the pur-
pose Of sQuaring up accounts, and thereupon
an extensive system Of research and figuring
was begun in every State all loose accounts
Of Provost MarahaIs and State authorities
were balanced up old credits, not before al
lowed, were brought forward and allowed ON
the new quota scattering mcb, who
had enlisted and never been credited
were counted for the first time; en-
listments In the naval service have been
credited as recently allowed by law !;
tbs veteran enlistments, which came in
largely, were credited, ard aided many To-
calities to escape the draft; every exsrtion,
and many systems Of figuring, some Of which
We fear were not AZ straightforward as they
ought TO have been, were used, until many
OF the States have announced that their quo
fas were full under eli calls, with q surplus
We have Ia memory at present New Hamp-
shire. Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnaseta, and Kan,
cas-, and many parts of Michigan, New York,
and Massachusetts,, all Of which have filled
their quotas under all calls, aud most Of
them have asurplus left, which Ia being con
stanfly Increased by veteran and volunteer Ell.
liStments heretofore not credited The army
has, notwithstanding, been largely and graft
fyingly augmented, but not, by any means,
to the extent of the last call. That call, as
We have said, has been largely exhausted by
the credits for old enlistments never before
counted Hence, this new call, though sue
ceeding go rapidly to that of February, can
and will be promptly met in most Of the
States without any hardship whatever. Many
localities have surplus already to be credit
ed On the new quota, while the necessities Of
the naval service, including the Marine Corps,
offer larger field than heretofore for the
choice of the volunteer. Only in those To-
ali ,Ioh Lnr hnl{ To- I~a L;,,l
IN every quota will the new call be consid-
cred 50 hardship. This quota filed prompt
iy and honestly, and the army will be so
strengthened that we think all future calls
can be dispensed with.
