MUCH WORK REQUIRED.
New Army BnI Entails Additional BurdsnD
on the War Departmsnt-TO Muster
out Volunteer Regiments.


Washington, March 4. "A great deal
of hard work will be required OF the
war department in changing the army
establishment rs contemplated by the
bill which has just become law.
Especially will this be the case in the
adjutant generals office, which will
supervise the muster out of the exist
ing volunteer army and the recruiting
and muster in OF the 80, 900 men for the
new volunteer branch, together with
such recruiting as will be necessary to-
bring the regular establishment up to
the required strength, The present
volunteer regiments will be formally
mustered out OF the service, but the
expectation is that many of the men,
after paying visit to their homes,
will again enlist, so that this branch
will have for It's nucleus much of the
present element composing it. Some
Of the organizations may determine TO
go In bodily, but the understanding is
that each man will be free to exercise
his own will as TO remaining--in other
words, there Is to be nothing savoriug
of conscription.
