all the forces Of the Nation.
According to these laws, all citizens be-
tween 1s and As years of age are held
liable to military duty in case OF war.
They are divided into two organizations.
regulars and volunteers. Every one
knows what the regulars are; the volun-
teers differ from them only In having their
enlistments depend In some degree on the
duration OF the war, and in having their
officers from colonel down appointed by
the governors Of their States instead Of
the president.
These troops are to be organized into
regiments; three or more regiments are to
constitute brigade. and three or more
brigades are to form an army corps.
The brigades are to be commanded by
brigadler generals, and the division and
corps by major generals For the most
part, the president will appoint these Of
ficers from the States according to the
number of troops they furnish This sys-
tenn can not, OF course. be strictly ad-
hercd to- as 1t would rule out many ofa-

pected to be placed in command of divl-

probably receive command as chief Of
scouts. while Theodore Roosevelt will be-
come lieutenant colonel of a regiment Of
Arizona cowboys. Little has as yet been
definitely settled by the president, how
ever. and all is subject to revision.
The regulars now consist of twenty five
regiments of infantry, seven regiments of
cavalry and seven regiments of artillery
The volunteers called out yesterday con.
sist OF ITO regiments of infantry, six and
one-half regiments of cavalry. twenty bat
terles OF heavy and fifteen batteries OF
light artillery.
The infantry and cavalry are organized
on the three battalion plnn, with twelve
companies of infantry or twelve troops
OF cavalry to a regiment. These troops
are apportioned among the States in so far
as may be according to proportion except
that three regiments of guides, rough rid
ers, ETC.. will be enlisted at large.
