THE SECOND CALL.
Good Progress Being Made In the En-

listment of Volunteers.
WASHINGTON. July 19.-Fairly good
progress has been made with the recruit
rnent for the volunteer army under the
presidents second cali for 1900 volun-
teers. The plan adopted by the War De-
partment was 10 recruit all the volunteer
organizations I'm the army up 10 their
maximum enlisted strength before enter
ing upon the recruitment OF additional
troops. The total number OF men re-
quired 20 MI out existing regiments was
81. .566. and according 20 the latest returns
the total enlistments under this plan ere
275l9 men.
In order to show the progress OF re-
cruiting under the second call state
ment has been prepared In tho office OF
the Adjutant-General OF tho army based
on the latest returns.
II shows the following enlistments:
North Carolina. number required. 7SS;
number enlisted. IS. Virginia, number
required 900: number enlisted. 294 Geor-
gia, number required. iVi' number ehlisI-
cd 255
Indiana. Minnesota, Missouri New Jer-
sey. Rhode Island, West Virginia and
Wisconsin have exceeded their quota, but
all the others are behind in their supply
OF troops. The worst delinquent is North
Carolina. which has furnished only 30
soldiers TO meet its quota OF lS3.
Other delinquents are Colorado, Lou
isiana Nebraska. Tennessee and Nir-
einia. each Of which has supplied less
than one third the number OF men re-
duired. Alabama, Massachusetts. Ar.
kansas. Georgia. Mississippi, Oregon and
Texas have done very little better, ana
all are very much behind in meeting the
requirements.
Complaint has been made also that in
several of the States an effort has been
made to foist poor material on the gov
ernment
The total enlised strength OF the regu-
lar enlisted army 20 date IS about 1900
men. being about 5000 short OF it's legal
complement.
The volunteer army consists Of $4,000
men and is only 1900 fhort OF its maxi
mum authorized strength under the two
calls issued by the President.
The total strength OF the army-regular
and volunteer-is 2270O0 as now organized.
