Nearly nine thousand men have al
ready been enlisted in the ten volun-
teer regiments which are 90 reinforce
tho army In the Philippines. Only about
four thousand more are needed to fill
the ranks. The supply OF recruits is not
represented in the roster. however,
since the men have been selected with
Unprecedented care and when complete
the little army will be exceptional in
respect to the physical quality of the
soldiers. For all the many reflections
the regiments are being recruited at
the rate Of five hundred men a day and
when the ranks are filled every man
will have a right to feel proud that he
is one OF the number. There are only
about swo hundred vacancies in tho
ranks or the Twenty-st;th at Platts-
