 To one who has become accused to the (unpleasant) habit of detecting defects, their attitude Is the cause of never ceas- ing wonder. Applause bursts forth at the most unexpected moments, and often where there is the most palpable strain ing for an "effect," the audience seems to accord credit for an achievement.
 Yet these people are neither to be pitied nor smiled at for the display of this auality--it is the capability for real oiijoy- naent. Theirs Is a pleasure which the carping critic may not experience. They are living in the moment. and have per3 nlitted magination to crowd out rash realities. Their enjoyment in the play or entertainment Is keener as result, and their attitude Is an Inspiration to the per- formers, who respond accordingly.

 Yes. they are easily pleased, these " ew York audiences and, after a sojourn hefe one is not surprised that, so many should have returned to the south with that hor- rible habit of saying, at a play, Oh yes, 1t is fair, perhaps, but you should have seen 1t as I saw it in New York Ay,he fact of the matter Is (with the poss: ble exception of a more elaborate, because more permanent stage setting), the play is the same-it was the attitude of the New York audience that made the difference He was inclined to believe the play was great because the audience seemed to think so. and as the audience appeared to think, even so did the actors strive the harder to convince.

INDIANA MAY Be

FURNISH TROOPS
War Department Organizes
Complete Muster in -
First Call to Include Men
From the Middle West.

WASHINGTON. May 12.-The war
department has organized a compete
muster-in" preparatory TO a vigorous
campaign in Mexico. This was done
Monday at the first real war council
held on the Mexican situation.
John +. Wilson, of the adjutant
generals office, has been chosen as
chief Of the division. II is understood
he has already appointed assistants
to handle the details of the enrolment
of volunteers.
Those who attended the council pre-
sided over by Secretary of War Garri-
son were the following:
Assistant Secretary of War Brock
onridge, who has general supervision
over the national guard and enroll
ment. Major General Leonard Wood,
who has already submitted plans for
an initial army of 10000; Brigadier
General Weaver, chief of the coast
artillery; General Mills. who has di-
rect supervision of the national guard
organizations; General Wotherspoon.

Andrews. adjutant general of the ar
my; General Crozier. chief of ordi-
nance; General Aleshire. in charge of

the army.
Discuss Volunteer Plans.
The council discussed plans for the
enrolment of the 100000 volunteers,
the moment the president issues a
proclamation calling for them. The
particular points under discussion
were the length of time of enlistment
and whether volunteers could be used
as an invading force without special
act of congress.
Secretary Garrison said after the
council that no special orders would
be sent to the militia of the various
states until the presidents call for
volunteers had been issued
1t is estimated that of the $4,000
members Of the national guard OF the
various states. at least 80, 900 of them
can be counted on TO offer then ser
vices.
At the first call il is expected that
New York will furnish a division: the
New England states a division and
Illinois and her neighbors a third di-
vision. These will be a part of the
first army corps OF 10000, of which,
if no changes in present plans are
made. Major General Wood will have
command
AS a further precautionary meas
ure" the adjutant general has sent
] letters TO former soldiers asking them
IL what capacity they served in the
past and if they will be available for
/ active service in the future.
