The Army and the War.

Although the present operations in the
Philippines are planned on the theory that
the regulars and three regiments Of volun-
teers will constitute tho land forces, it Ia
well understood that the turn OF events
might require the calling out Of the entire
body OF troops authorized by Congress at
its last session. Indeed, In many parts of
the country this course Is urged now, on
the ground that an overwhelming force
would most promptly put down the insur-
rection From California has already come
the virtual pledge Of a regiment. and no
doubt many would be offered In other
States, should the Government intimate q
desire for them.
But it Is evident that such troops, no
matter in what numbers, could not end the
affair offhand. Our volunteers have done
splendidly In Luzon, but they were not raw
recruits when they began their campaign
against the Filipinos. They were enlisted
last year, during the war with Spain, and
had had months upon months Of training,
partly at home and partly In the Philip
pines. Many took part In the siege Of Ma
nila and the assault on It's works, and this
experience was followed by more months Of
sodierly duty OF various sorts before the
present war broke out.
To supply their place, therefore, with
an equally efficient body OF volunteers sup
poses months Of preparation before taking
the field against the Fillplnos, who are
themselves gradually becoming veterans.
And that thought in turn suggests the err
ror OF Congress In not recognizing the
military establishment last winter so that
1t would be adequate for needs such as now
exist. The Hull bill would have added two
regiments to the cavalry. the equivalent OF
seven to the artillery. which would then
have become corps Of 144 batteries, and
five tothe infantry. making this last arm
thirty regiments strong.
That increase would not have been excess
sive, as our present experience shows. We
had forty-lve infantry regiments in 1868,
although, it is true, they were not twelve
company regiments. Again, the author
lied maximum Of the army in 1885, the
year after the civil war; was about 75, 600
men, while the maximum under the Hull
bill including officers and men, would have
been 0s,356. and the minimum 59,06s.
The population Of the United States in Il $50
was less than 81, 900 900, and in 1870 less
than $4,000, 900, while In 1900, with our
new possessions added, il will be more than
double that OF thirty years ago. The army
maximum authorized Immediately after the
civil war was less in ratio to the population
than the Hull bill proposed. to say nothing
