TIE ARMY ELL.

Under the pressure Of danger OF
an extra session the Army Bill was
amended and changed so much that il
is hardly known with exactness Just
what it provides, further than for a
force Of $4,000 Regulars and $4,000
Volunteers. The latter may be either
Americans or natives Of the islands, as
the President may direct. The increase
in the force is to terminate July /, 1901.
The reorganization Of the Army is
partially provided for on the lines
recommended by Malice Miles and
the Military Committees. The Presi-
dent is allowed to appoint Brigadier-
Generals not to exceed one for every
1900 men, and Major-Generals not to
exceed one for every 10000 men.
This will give the President the force
that he will need to carry out our policy
in the islands, and allows him a toler-
ably free hand in making the force
elastic enough to meet all conditions.
The provision in regard to the volun-
teers is especially good, as it will permit
him to enlist Cubans, Porto Ricans and
Filipinos, whenever desirable, to assist
in the maintenance Of order.
1t is now said that the President
considers that the force of $4,000
Regulars will be quite sufficient, and
will not initiate the English example
of raising "Sepoy" troops. All the
present volunteer regiments will be dis
charged by May /, but it is expected
that many thousands of the men will
elect to complete their service in the
Regular regiments.

You've followed the footsteps of your

And now you, too. can sit at home

You have seen the face OF comrade
As il lay upturned meath the heavens

You can't tell your old dad. my boy,
A single thing he's not been through.
I'll tell you the truth, the day you left

But your mothers heart was almost

And when at last the news came in

they give way even more readily before

Tagals begin to make themselves heard

to solicit arms and ammunition in
