THE NEW GALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.

The expected call for additional volunteers has
come and will be accepted by all as guarantee
that the Administration fully realizes that an
excess Is better than a deficit IN the matter OF
military force. and Is fully prepared to conduct
this war on whatever scale may be required.
The Tribune has repeatedly urged that there
should be no hesitancy In calling for all the
troops that could possibly be required and get
ting them equipped and disciplined IN advance
of any need 1t would be far better to have
done this, even II 1t should finally turn out
that not all assembled were actually needed,
Than to have run the risk Of waiting until there
waa imperative demand for more men than
were at hand and then Of having to rush them
hurriedly into service. We have already spoken
of the Presidents wisdom In calling at first for
a much larger volunteer army than many en-
thusiasts thought could ever be used In the pres
ent contest and we are glad that he IL prepar-
Ing for still heavier campaigning even before
the troops In the field have been tried. much less
found wanting
The second call for volunteers by no means
signifies that the President at first underesd-
mated his task. or that any new emergency has
arisen to put a graver aspect on the war. In
Just one respect the unexpected has happened.
That Is In the Philippines. At the beginning
probably nobody seriously contemplated the ne
cessity Of sending an army halfway around the
globe But Admiral Dewey's great victory at
Manila has entaied obligations to other nations
and to humanity. We must keep order there,
and so have to detach large force as the sequel
to our success. Aside from that we have no
task which was not to be prepared for from the
start. The new call for troops Is simply the or
derby execution Of the work undertaken. II II
seems otherwise to anybody It Is because he did
not realize the serious character Of war, and
failed Of an adequate conception Of what
proper army was The first call was doubtless
for as many mon as the Government felt pre-
pared to recruit and handle without taking some
time 10 develop camp, transportation and CON-
missary facilities, and also to test the machinery
by which the army was gathered. so as to cor
rect its defects. The original $4,000 now being
Oh the way to the 'front.' there is room to equip
75CO0 more, and that number is none too many
for striking with irresistible force when the
proper moment comes to strike.
1t Is said that these new troops will be re-
cruted not from the National Guard but by
open enlistment. This is certainly WISE The
transfer of Guardsmen to the volunteers has
been accompanied by incidents which show Il is
not IN ideal method Of making an army, how
ever necessary It may have been 10 follow Il az
