A THIRD CALL IS LIKELY.
The Military Authorities Convinced More
Volunteers VIII BE Wanted Than
Are ut Present Called for.

WASHINGTON, May aL-A third call
for volunteers is likely to be issued
within the next two weeks Military
authorities are convinced that there is
TO be demand for troops which can.
not be met with the force available
under present conditions 1t is evi.
dent that the regular army cannot be
increased To the desired strength OF
$4,000, and the war department will
consider itself fortunate II the regular
army attains force OF 10000 Army
officers are perplexed as TO why men
are not willing to enter the regu'
lar establishment The conditions
are iden teal TO the volunteer serv'
ice, and the regulars stand a
chance of being better cared for,
as the system Of distributing supplies
TO the regular troops is more nearly
perfect than in the volunteer army.
No regular term Of enlistment has
been provided, and regulars now en-
tering the army can do so PROVISIONAL
ly, with the understanding that they
need serve only during the war, and
certainly not longer than for two
years. Despite the fact that an army
must be retained in the Philippines,
Porto Rico and Cuba even after the
declaration of peace, those entering
the regular army now will not be
bound to remain for this service after
the war
During the last week it became
obvious that the military forces for in.
vasion and occupation purposes will
have to be much larger than was ex.
pected. A conservative estimate by an
officer competent to judge provides:
First an army Of $4,000 for Cuba;
second, an army Of 90, 900 for the Phil
ippineS and third, an army OF $4,000
for Porto Rico.

reacned' TO invade Cnba before the dry
season next fall, there have been pub
lished intimations that the delay, or
what appeared to be tho delay, in be.
ginning the invasion, was attributed
to the navy. In other words, the army
has Long been prepared to start for
Cuba but could not do so for lack of
conveys and ships to insure landing.
1t can be stated on the high.
est authority that the impression
thus created is wholly unjust to
the navy and without warrant in
fact The naval officers, one and all,
take special pride in the degree Of
readiness In which the navy was found
at the outbreak Of hostilities and there
never has been moment even when
SIMPSONS forces we're at Porto Rico
when the navy was not prepared on
instant notice to aid tho army in effect
ing a landing in Cuba Nor, on the
other hand, he's the army been at fault
in this matter. 1t was at first as Is
now well known, proposed TO throw
small force Of men or soldiers
about 10000, into Cuba Immediately
and allow the remainder Of the army
Of occupation to wait until next fall
before going over. There were va.
rious reasons for abandoning this
plan, such as the discovery Of the in
sufficient support that could be rem
dered the first army by the insurgents;
the fact that was brought out with
appalling force that delay Of the cam
paign meant the absolute extermina-
ton OF the starving reconcentrsdos,
and there were, beside, international
reasons for making haste. These
considerations caused complete change
in the army plans and that involved
delay. To equip an army of 100000
men in 80 days and put them in oondi.
ton TO fight trained veteran soldiers on
their own soil was no small undertake
ing, 80 that in the opinion Of some Of
the highest officers OF the sdministra-
ton there Is no reasonable ground for
passing the criticism that there Is or
has been undue delay in beeinnin
the military campaign. either On the
part OF the army or navy.
