We have exclusive styles-yes! But
in point Of fact our prices are LOWER

Secretary of War on Mus.
tering Out of Troops.
Many Volunteers Would Like to Re-
main In Service-Positions-
triotism Of Employers.

NEW YORK, August 24.-Secretary
Of War Alger is in New York on his
way from Washington to Camp Wikoff,
Montauk Point. l.. I.
When asked about the mastering out
Of the troops he said:
THAT Is a very difficult matter and
has been delayed to give us chance
to make the best move.
"All of the volunteers who have seen
service either at Santiago or at Manila
with few exceptions, will be mustered
out. Many of the volunteers want to
remain in the service and for days !
have been besieged with letters, petit
tons and personal appeals by the
friends of such regiments to keep them
in the service.
"Of course, a large army Is necessary
and will be kept up. Nevertheless we
feel that there are many who made a
pecuniary sacrifice to get to the front
and now that they are not wanted we
want to give them back to their fami-
lies and business. do not know just
when the official order of muster out
will be given, but think 1t will be
given within a week."
What will the Government do for
the many volunteers who may find II
impossible to ge their old positions
back ?" was asked.
THAT is another proposition.
trust there will not be many such cases
as trust the patriotism of the employ
ers is great enough to preclude such a
possibility. But the Government can dc
nothing in case the men are refused
their old positions. The Government
is not conducting an employment bu-
reau."
TO BE MUSTERED OUT.
| WASHINGTON, ID. c., August "a
There are to be mustered out OF ac-
tive service soon twenty-eight batteries
of artillery, nine regiments of cavalry
and 62 regiments of infantry.
| These infantry regiments recruited
up to the full strength number $4,000
men; the cavalry about 1000, and thu
artillery about 5000. The total mum
