to these notifications, but If any re-

notified and the man is sent where he

AS has been said, nearly all the men
now enlisting want to go to the Phil
ippines, and it is hard work getting
men to fill out the regiments that are to
stay at home. AS matter of fact. how

Of infantry specially designated to do
garrison duty. and all the big barracks
at which from four to 16 companies are
generally on duty will contain only one
company apiece for some time to come.
The greatest difficulty is encountered
in filling the artillery regiments. A GER
tain amount of aptnesS for figures in
GLIDING fractions is necessary, and the
very men who possess this seem to be
most eager to get out of the country.
The 9Th artillery has been assigned to
go to Manila and will be recruited to

Four days later, when she emerged
