A LARGE ORDER.

The War department announces
that hereafter 100, 600 recruits will
be needed annually to maintain
the army AT the new standard.
This is one TO every thousand Of

there may be grave doubt, al

The practical abandonment of
the campaign to secure recruits
for the National Guard regiments
at the border is accompanied by
the explanation that the results do
not Justify continuance of the Ell
fort. Everything considered this
may not be surprising. The short
age of labor, the phenomenal
prosperity, and the dwindling Of
the Mexican crisis account for It.
