RECRUITS FOR THE NEW ARMY

Now that the increase in the ma
tional standing army and the national
guards is a settled fact, and no long
or a matter for conjecture, the prob
lem will be, where are we to get the
men to al up the rarks' Heretofore,
with only a very small army, the re-
cruitlng officers have experienced
great difficulties in getting enough
men. With the increase in the army
the difficulty Of securing recruits will
no doubt be increased in proportion
unless some further inducement lie
given those entering. Perhaps 1t will
be necessary 20 increase the pay Of
the soldiers. nut with the greatly in

that II is unjust to ask men 10 give

my is paid enough to make its oppor-
:unitles compare favorably with 9th

who enlist. the difficulty Of getting
recruits will always be with us.
Besides the mere money consider

the army being place for those who
failed in life, the down and out, it
should be filed up with our best men.
How to secure this will he one Of the

last Saturday, DR., Ross called atten.

at close to a quarter a. million del

purchased supplies valued al three

that these supplies are purchased
