RECRUITING

It is so difficult to induce men to enter
the army and navy.
The publication makes a volume of
100 printed pages, profusely illus
trated. The illustrations convey in
the most graphic manner an idea OF
the slender proportions to which Uncle
Sans regular army is now reduced in
point of numbers. A full page frontis-
piece depicts a company of infantry
starting from Fort Niagara on a 81
day practice march, with nine men in
the ranks, although the authorized
strength was IS men, and some of the
other pictures show an even worse

The president alone has power under
the constitution to recommend such
measures as he may deem necessary
for the public business. But President
Roosevelt's young men whom he has
made members of his cabinet seem to
imagine that they r the whole shoot
ing match, and that it is not only
necessary for them to run their depart
ments but to force On the attention OF
congress such measures as they de-
sire enacted into law. Thus on De
cember 10, Mr.. Garfield, secretary OF
the interior, introduced into congress
no less than Ii bills, through com
m%unications to the senate. Possibly
these measures may be of the utmost
necessity or advantage, but the in
terror department was created for car
rying out the laws that congress may
see fit to pass, as far as they relate
to matters over which that department
has supervision and no further. When
congressman want information from
the executive departments upon which
to base a bill to reform some abuses,
they often find 1t impossible to get the
necessary information, because for
sooth the matter does not meet the ap-
probation OF the young man in charge

N. ISWOLSKY'S EFFORTS.
Germanys attitude Likely to Settle
Question of Congress.

St. Petersburg, Oct 23.-The fate Of the Rus
sian proposal TO reknit the broken strands OF
the Balkan agreements by means Of a congress
of the powers rests, il is realized here, on the
outcome of the negotiations which NJ. Iswolsky,
the Russian Foreign Minister, will open to-mor-
row in -cerlin.
According to press dispatches received here.
the impression is gaining ground in several
European capitals that the proposed congress
will be abandoned on account OF the difficulties
in the way of formulating programme, but the
highest authorities of the Foreign Office here do
not share this view, and point to the obvious i'm
possibility of settling breaches Of international
compacts by any other method than that Of an
international congress. Separate preliminary
agreements. such as the Turho- Bulga rian and
Austro-Turksh, they say. considered highly
desirable but they do obviate the necessity
Of international sanction.
The reports of the impending retirement OF NJ
Iswolsky on account of the failure of his policy
have taken definite form in diplomatic circles
here and the Pan-Slivist newspapers openly re-
fer to him as politically dead. A high official
who is closely in touch with Emperor Nicholas
and the Foreign Office, however, has authorized
a denial of the reports and also Of a rumor that
there is friction between NJ. Tcharykoff the
acting Foreign Minister, and NJ. Iswolsky This
official added that there question of NJ
