Cross ladies'. which were given with such a vim that the ferry building fairly shook.
 The enlisted men were gathered from all parts of the East, from Illinois to Massachusetts, and sent to Fort McPher son, where they were equipped in every detail. None of them have been in tho service, consequently they have received little instruction, but they are a super Tor class, and 1t will only be a short fine pe1ore -they are as proficient in drill as Ine veterans Their rifles and accoutre- ments were shipped in cases and were not issued until the men had been assigned to their companies.

The Eighteenth and Twenty Third Infantry Now Filled

The Eighteenth and Twenty-third Regi- ments of Infantry, U. S. A., are now ap- proximately to their full strength. Eight hundred and forty-eight recruits from Fort McPherson, Georgia arrived at Oak land mole during Friday night and came over to this side at 6:3O o'clock yesterday morning.
 The soldiers travelled across the conti- nent in three sections. the first being in command of Major J. w. Bubb who also had command of the entire detachment, and Lieutenant G. H. Steel. Nineteenth Infantry, who was detailed as commits sary Captain w. I. Sanborn, Twenty fifth Infantry, was in charge of the sec ond section, assisted by Lieutenant w. D. Conrad.

CHRISTIAN COMMISSION.
Steps to Organize for Work in
 the United States Army.

As has been done in other States of the country, the United States Army Chris tian Commission of the Young Mems Christian Association will probably be in- augurated at the Young Mems Christian Association building tomorrow afternoon, at 2 o'clock, when State officers will be elected. There Is national organization of the Christian Commission, with head quarters with the International Commit tee of the Young Mems Christian Asso- citation at New York city. Each State has been organized separately to cooperate with the International Committee, but each State works separately so far as raising money and providing men for the field is concerned. All money and work CTS supplied for Christian work in the United States army will be provided through this Christian Commission of the Young Mems Christian Association, and all kindred organizations of the churches will cooperate with this agency.
 The national officers of the Christian yised their societies In the Eastern States to work through this department of the Young Mems Christian Associa- ton so that there may not be any misun- derstanding or conflict of forces. The as- sociation being definite organization for men, and having carried forward this work exclusively throughout the entire Civil War, is considered best fitted to continue the work. There are many ap- pncauons for appointments as helpers ip

AN ARMY MIST ER4
Why the Presidio Is Not Used
 as a Camping Ground.

There is something mysterious in the attitude of leading army officers when the question of utilizing the Presldlo res- ervation for military purposes IS 1ntro- duced. Last Thursday decision was reached that the camp at Rlchmono should be vacated as soon as practicable and that troops to arrive here rom the East should be encamped on the reserva- tion. The next day the plans agreed upon were reconsidered and suggestion was adopted that the camp at Richmond should be gradually dinintegrated. It was contended that the dispatch of troops to the Philippines would soon close up the camp in that section It was said that Camp Merritt was established as an emergency camp and that the purpose which the military authorities had in view was practically fulfilled.
 Objection seems to be raised now against the encampment of incoming sol diers on the Presidio reservation. It is claimed that no moral advantage would result from the occupancy of the Pre- sido and that the change would not bet ter the sanitary conditions. Water is the main element in which the Presidio is said to be lacking, yet 1t is known fact that at least 5000 troops were en- camped on the reservation just before the first Manila expedition sailed, and Colo nel Morris, commanding the post, had provided for the accommodation of addi- tional organizations. The water mains of the Spring Valley on Lombard street were intersected to supply the camp with water
 The condition of affairs at Camp Mer- ritt is probably known to Major General Otis, who commands the camp. It is not his fault that forty-eight saloons, some of them no better than dives, are estab- lished in the immediate vicinity of his soldiers. Commencing on Point Lobos avenue at Masonic avenue, thence west to Seventh avenue on that avenue south to Fulton, on Fulton to First avenue and on First avenue facing the camp, there are forty-eight places where liquors are sold. Many of the places have sprung into existence since the camp was established. Everywhere is spread the temptation of the soldier to spend his money. Some of the dens shelter lewd women and low-down men whose busi- ness it Is to entice the volunteers to drink and carouse. This is not the fault of Major General Otis. He has no con trol over the license regulations of San Francisco and cannot close the public
