A MISUNDERSTANDING with r(glrd to
the period which volunteers will have to
serve in the army has been Strengthened
out by clear statement of the case by
war office official. The volunteers
have been enlisted for period of three
years without exception, but this does
not mean that with the war ended be-
for the expiration of that term, they will
be compelled to serve out the full period
of their enlistment. A three-year term
was fixed because it was believed by the
Administration that within that time
the objects for which the war was begun
can and will be fully attained. Should
the war end at any time before the ex-
pration of the three years, members of
the volunteer army will be discharged
upon application for released made to the
Secretary of War. And it must be under
stood that no disgrace or discredit will
attach to the men making such applica-
tion. Eventually many Of the volun-

TIE American people are fortunate
that the conduct Of the war is by the
criticised and not by the critics. Ii the
authorities at Washington had no more
common sense than most of the p,rsnns
who critcise them, we should by this
time have been worse off than We were
three months prior to the beginning of
hostillties. Every criticism Of the ei-
fort to reinforce Admiral Dewey has dis
closed a poverty of knowledge and Il
paucity of ideas that, considering the
source of the criticisms, has no parallel
outside of Spanish official circles. The
war has been on little more han thirty
DAYS, and we have enrolled an army of
more than a hundred thousand men,
doubled the fighting strength Of our navy
and destroyed one entire fleet of the foe.
And all'this has been done in the midst
of the most senseless clamor and despite
the most assinne criticism. We doubt
if any people on the globe ever accom-
plished SO much IN equal time, leaving
the lack of preparedness wholly out OF
the question. Yet all this, which should
arouse the pride Of every American
citizen, and which is appreciated by
every man of patriotism, is dismissed as
Of no account by the individuals who
have engaged in criticism.
