deeply ergrossed in his military duties
that he cannot give as much time as be

the failure of the California Legislature

Perkins was working double time, and

Under the new call recruiting officers

wide margin of judgment as to the re-
lection of young men who can readily
pass the required mental and physical
examination. The result viii be few ap-
plicatiOns for discharge. The recruit will
understand at the outset that he will be
expected to serve wherever ordered for
the length of time designated in his en-
lstment papers. If the regiments are not
allotted to States there viii be no State
influence invoked to withdraw regiments
from the front while the enemy is threat

that the pull of politicians will not have
the greatest weight in the appointment
of officers TO command the new army of

The recruiting officers in San Francisco
will get their share of good material for

to re-enlist here for another campaign.
The veteran volunteers would he very
useful in the ranks of new men and their
experience in the service would make
them available for non commissioned if

San Francisco special prominence as a
recruiting and Quitting point. The next
year promises to be one of great import

O. JSPATCHES from Washington an
" nouncing that the Government
Il has resolved to enlist 80 600 volun-
~ tecrs to reinforce the army on the
island of Luzon created wide
spread interest in military circles. The
President and Secretary of War have
given no intmation of the course to be
pursued in recruiting the additional $4,000
troops. but leading officers of the army
arc sure that the duty of organizing the
new regiments will not be assigned TO the
Governors of the respective States OF the
Union The offer of Governor Roosevelt
Of New York to furnish the entire force
of $4,000 from that State is regarded as a
piece Of New York buncombe No doubt
there will he recruiting offices in New
York and applicants for enlistment in the
volunteer regiments will be received there
the same as in California. Oregon, Texas
and Iowa.
The suggestion is made that recruiting
offices he established in the Southern
States. and particularly in Texas. in or
der that men accustomed to a warm ell
mate may be called into the service. In
view OF the excellent record made pS the
Twentieth Kansas at the front there may
he special pressure eXertcd To obtain an
other regiment from the land Funston
halls from. The new troops Will not be
taken from any particular section of the
tuited States. but army officers familiar
with the conditions at the front may rec
ommcnd that SOUTHERN and Western men
le given the preference in enlistment.
Ii is the Judgment OF army officers in
this city that the President Will not re-
linquish the right TO appoint the COM
miSsioned officers of the new volunteer
army. II is regarded as essential that the
new troops should he placed under capa-
ble officers of experience Where the
power to appoint reSimental officers is eX-
tended to the Governors of States the
politicians get in their work at the eX-
pense Of the military service.
Prominent officers on duty in this de-
partment believe that San Francisco from
this time forward will be the most I'M
uOrtant military station in the United
states The newly enlisted volunteers will
rendezvous here prior to their departure
for the Orient. From this point the vol
unteer regiments viii embark for Ma
Mia. and here they VIII receive the first
degrees of military instruction. The !ndl-
cations are that within three months
there will be an army of soldiers encamp-
ed on the Preside reservation. Steps
