less trouble over Desertions.


Pronting by long experience. the
war department has. made sonne
changes in It's method Of recruiting
soldiers for the regular army. 1t has
been found that much the greater
percentage of deserters consisted Of
quite Young recruits. who soon dis
cover that the regular service Is not
what they imagined and take French
leave on the first opportunity. In
view of the numerous courtsmartiai
thus required, and the severe penal
ties for desertion. the new recruits
are,now drilled for several weeks, with
out giving them uniforms or requiring
the to take the oath. If they run
away in the meantime they are not
sought after and new recruits take
tlteir places. The army is thus saved
| the trouble Of trying numerous desert
ers by courtmartial. Philadelphia
