Because the cycling academy had been
engaged for bazaar the acting govern
ment commissary, Lieutenant Alexander,
had to secure other quarters for the mess
and he has rented Turn Hall, on French
street above Eighth, where dinner was
served today, and where the subsequent
meals will be served.
Colonel Gordon announced to the COM
manding officers of the companies yester-
terday morning that provision had been
made for enlisting men in the regular
army who desire to do go.
Lieutenant Walter s. Alexander has
been appointed recruiting officer here
with temporary headquarters at the
armory.
Following are the regulations as made
by Major General Miles:
"Members OF volunteer organizations,
who after muster out or discharge there
from. enlist in the regular army will be
credited with their service in the volun-
teer army and their enlistment papers
will be indorsed as directed in para
graph S36 of the regulations. The en-
listment in regular army will be for three
wears from date of enlistment without
condition regarding discharge, and will

"Soldiers OF volunteer organizations

Major Andruss, the head of the mus

details for an accounting between the
companies and the government. In
speaking Of the subject yesterday morn

took a long while to break men in and
even there, mistakes were made, and it
was not surprising that officers and men
without much experience should make
errors. The man who las the lowsst
number of errors will receive the highest
credit.
The major said the paymaster ought
to be here not later than Saturday, prob
ably Friday. As soon as paid the men
will be furloughed for thirty days, with
the exception Of about sixty men who
will be retained to assist in completing
the papers. During that period, the

New York, Dec. AT the dinner CIV

ons why Americans should be happy

acterizes anti-expansionists as ''old

tirely unjustif1ed by the country's his
tory. He said:

you why. In the first place we were

belong to a great race. That is some
thing; that is having a start, to feel that

long to a great race.
