The regiments now in the field were
900 men short of maximum strength and
the War Department decided Immediately
after the call that they should be filed
up first.
1t is understood from the fact that this
apportionment is now given out that it
has been found satisfactory to the States
and that all changes have been made that
were necessary.
Gen. Corbin stated to reporter for
The Times Immediately after the call was
made that he would not give out the
apportionment until it had been arranged
finally.
A circular letter was sent to the Gov
ernors of the States by Secretary Alger,
announcing their apportionment and CIV
ing them instructions as to the method OF
filing the call.
1t is stated that the companies should
be recruited to their maximum strength
and gave particulars as to the officers
and men necessary.
Secretary Alger suggested that appli-
cants for enlistment be given their physi-
cal examinations before they leave their
homes to avoid fruitless and expensive
trips.
Another letter was sent by Gen. Corbin
to the recruiting officers in the various
States, giving them the routine instruc-
tions.
There is talk now Of a third call to be
made within a short time. An officer of
the War Department stated to g. reporter
for The Times yesterday that although
the third call has not yet been fully de-
cided on, it may come within a month.
1t Is understood that it will be for So
900 troops.
