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

WAsHINGroN, May 3l.-A third call
for volunteers is likely to be- issued
within the next two weeks. Military
authorities are can WINGED that there is
to be demand for troops which cam
not be met with the force available
under present conditions. 1t is cvi-
dent that the regular army cannot be
increased to the desired strength of
64,OOO and the war department will
consider itself fortunate IL the regular
army attans force of 10000. Army
officers are pelpleNed as to why men
are not willing to enter the regu-
lar establishment. The conditions

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 unders tanding that they
need serve only during the war amt
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 bo
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 pupoScs will
have to be much larger than was cN-
pected. A conservative estimate 10y an
officer competent to judge provides:
First an army of 20 OO0 for Cuba;
second, an army of 10000 for the Phil
ippines, and third, an army Of $1,000
for Porto Rico

each time we were sure that 81 had
eclipsed all her former efforts.
The Third BalIade of Chopin, given
by Miss Lila OLDHAM, Of Carthage, was
the fourth number. Miss Oldham pos
Sesses remarkably large tone and
plays most musically. In this Ballade,
which Is iavorile with all rlanisls,
she expressed the fruitful themes in a
superb way, whether one heard the
subject alone or embellished In the
moSt ilorid counterpart; and the climax
IN the octave passage was rendered
with an abandon and lire that was
nothing lessthan a triumph of planistic
ability. She is one OF the most popular
girls in thl school, and few more
conquesls, such as she made al this en-
terlainmtnt, will maze her reputation

Miss Bonnie Riggs, OF La Plata, in
an "Air Narie," Tor the violin, by
Dancia, gave the fifth number. This
young lady possesses very great facility
upon her instrument, and always enters
into the spirit of her composition in
such n way as to render her selections
in most effective way. Miss Biggs is
regarded as one of Mr.. Stark's best
and most representative pupils. We
have had occasion TO speak Of her
playing several times this year. It is ia
us constant source of wonder that q
young girl can learn TO master the
violin, the hardest OF all instruments tC

upon the success which she has made
in her musical studies. Her splendid
voice is always in tun and she Is
always ready TO use it when she can

Miss Shale greatly pleased the
audience by her reading, "The Mes

She was eloquent without any apparent
effort, Her gestures were graceful and
natural, aud her voice, though low,

spoke of the angels, there came from
