ENLISTMENT TERM EXTENDED.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April 26.-
BY the terms of the new volunteer
bill, which received the signature
of President Wilson yesterday, the
period of enlistment of volunteers
in the future will be for seven
years, instead OF two. as at pres
ent but for three of the seven years
the volunteers will simply be re-
serve and will not be in active duty.
By the terms of the new law, the
volunteers will be enlisted when the
militia of the various states is eX-
hausted A new feature will be the
fact that under the provisions OF the
bill, the governors of the various
states will not be permitted to name
the officers of troops serving the
United States. as they did under
former conditions when the militia
was organized for national duty.
There are many advantages claim
ed for the new army bill. among
them being the fact that there will
be less politics used in selecting OF
ficers for volunteer troops, and it
will be possible for the President to
select only men who have had prev
ious military experience for such
responsible positions.
Army officers have been agitatins
a law of this kind for several years.
1t was originally suggested by form
er President Roosevelt, after he
served in the Spanish-American war
in Cuba He insisted that much OF
the loss of life and property in war
time was the direct result Of the
incompetency of volunteer officers,
who were given their positions by
governors of states as result of
their political influence.
