FOR Army Increase
Complaints of Volunteers Who
Enlisted to Fight"
ARE STRONG ARGUMENTS
Men Who Enlist to Obey Or

Washington. Nov. the request Of the
First Colorado infantry 20 be returned
from Manila 20 the United States cannot
be granted by the war department 1t was
stated by officers Of the army today that
such requests had been frequent from
soldiers Of volunteer organizations VINO
enlisted 10 fight but did not enlist for
garrison duty. The desire of this reEi-
ment TO return nome was simply the de-
sire OF other volunteers and nothing could
be done, the officer said. until congress
met and provided some kind of force 20
take the place Of thu volunteers. The
subject OF re-organizing the army with
a view TO securing an adequate force for.
the new possessions OF the United States
has already secured the serious consid-
Grafton of the president, the secre.aryof
war and officers OF the army. The pres
ident will make recommendations to con-
greSs on this subject embodying his views
and the views OF those who are in position
to give him the very hes, advice 1t is
probable That ne will recommend an in
crease Of the army TO something like 10o,-
900 men. although this is not certain, and
he may think that rs. 900 is enough There
has been some talk also of enlisung for
garrison duty two companies or bautal-
ion Of natives TO each regiment doing gar
rison duty in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. 1t Is believed by this method
a considerable portion of the restless pop
ulation of the islands. and especially those
who have been bearing arms in the insur-
gent or Spanish armies. could be kept
quiet and law-abiding. 1t is stated by
officers Of the army that the duties de-
volving upon the troops under the new
order OF things cannot be satisfactory TO
volunteers and that an army Will have
TO be provided which will 90 where II is
sent without complaints of any kind Men
VINO enlist in the regular army hereafter
will understand that they are likely TO
be called upon any time to go out of the
country and to garrison distan lands for
long periods. II is believed that the de-
mands which have been made upon sena-
tors and representatives for the muster
out of volunteer regiments and the dis
charge Of volunteers IN regiments which
have remained in the service has been
so great that they will be convinced that
a regular army for garrison duty in the
new possessions is an absolute necessity.
