the last congress. With this result in
mind. IL Is not strange that the war de-

ports Of the recruiting officers.
All Will. Ne ReGulars.
II may not be generally understood how
and why the president has reached the
decision TO authorize the enlistment

full provisional force Of $1,000 for which
congress. just before the session closed.

gency measure
Fully realizing how promptly the patri-
otto youth OF the land would respond 10

pendent parents. brothers and sisters.
both the president and Secretary Alger
hoped to avoid another call. The situa-
tion in Luson. however. demanded more
troops. Nearly the entire available
force Of regulars had been brought into
service. 1t then occurred to the presi-
dent to take the best legal advice a. tho
command OF the administration as to .he
construction of the law authorizing the
provisional army.
The decision was given that, while the
presidents request for a regular army OF
10000 men was not sustained by con-
gress. especial provision was made In tho
army reorganization bill 30 that he could
secure that number Of men for the period
OF two years. Nothing In the act says
how the president shall raise this pro-
visional force Of 5000 men.
The president and Secretary Aiger
therefore concluded that they had full
authority to recruit 100000 men In all. and
to hold the army at this strength until
July 1. 1900. without making any dtstinc-
ton such as volunteers and regulars.
At that time. 1t being the limit fixed by
the reorganization bill. all soldiers not
absolutely essential to the conduct OF
the new possessions and to the safe
guarding Of domestic tranquility will be
dismissed. They will all be considered
