A RUSH OF RECRUITS.
HOW THE WORK OF FILLING UP THE
ARMY GOES ON.

When the army reorganization act
became law just before the late con
gress gave mp the ghost, there were 49,.
900 men in the regular service. As the
new esta ablshment is to number 65. 900
men. this left room for 25. 900 recruits
The response TO the war Department.
call for three year enlistments has been
prompt. At all the recruiting stations
hundreds of men who are anxious to
wear the army blue call every day. The
war spirit is not all spent.
Among the recruits accepted nearly
one-half are former volunteers who have
been mustered out since the close Of the
war with Spain They are all anxious
TO get back to the army again. Most Of
them waited for many weary months
in southern camps expecting to get
chance to go TO the front. They are aft
er adventure. They want to do some
shooting
Uncle Sam is very glad TO get these
ex-volunteers. In the first place, they
are already good soldiers, not quite up
to the regulars, of course, but infinitely
better than the raw material which
must be licked into shape.
In the second place, these recruits are
of better class, as a rule, than those
who offer themselves during times Of
peace. The latter are generally men
who have made failure of everything
else and have taken to the army as q
sort Of asylum, where they will at least
be assured of clothes and board. Army
rations are positively luxurious when
compared to the uncertain fare which
a man without job must often put up
with.
The prospects are that the regular
army will be increased to the new
standard Of G5, 600 men within two or
at most three months This means that
recruiting is going on a great deal
| faster than usual In times of peace the
war department has often had difficulty
in finding enough good men to keep the
army up to its former size Of $4,000.
The thousands of volunteers who have
had taste Of army life and like it are

! doing much to swell the ranks. Many
of them, when they enlisted for war
last spring, cut business and domestic
ties and have not yet knotted up these
loose ends. So they are free to seek ad-
venture wherever opportunity seems to
| offer. These men are welcome additions
to the army, and every inducement to
secure them will be made They will
receive credit for their volunteer enlist
ments, thus enabling them to secure
continuous service pay. but will be
obliged to join the army for the pre-
scribed period of three years, volunteer
service not counting as part of this
Nearly all the recruits who have ap-
piled for enlistment in the regular army
in the last few days have asked to be
assigned to regiments under orders to
proceed to the Philippines or already
there. There will be no trouble in ac-
commodating these men, as it is intend
ed to fill up the Philippine regiments
Immediately
The same opportunity presented to
the volunteers in this country who want
to go into the regular establishment
will be given to volunteer troops in
Cuba and the Philippines. There are no
volunteers in Porto Rico. 1t is believed
that many of the volunteers now en-
gagged in active campaigning against
Aguinaldos forces will re-enlist in the
regular army
All the volunteer troops in the Philip.
pines will be brought home for muster
out, but such of the enlisted men as
desire to remain in the service will re-
ceive their discharges ut Manila or
wherever they may be stationed in the
archipelago and permitted to enlist in
the regulars, They will be entitled to
continuous service pay, travel pay from
the place where they would have landed
in the United States to the places of
enlistment in this country and six
months clothing allowance.
With such encouragement and the
chance Of being sent to distant lands
and seeing active service there is an un-
precedented rush to join the army. At
the principal recruiting station in New
York from 500 to 600 applications are
being received every day. Only about
4O per cent of the men pass muster.
Recruits have as much latitude as is
practicable in selecting their regiments.
The department notifies a recruiting
officer what regiments require men, and
II is hard work getting men to fill out
the regiments that are to stay at home
