 SAN FRANCISCO, Apr. 16.-In preparation to handle the enormous increase in forces that is expected, the war department is selecting non commissioned officers from the regu- lar army and giving them special training course, after which they will be given commissions in the new army. These men are picked for their ability and knowledge of the duties and requirements of the soldiers.
 Five hundred men from the west ern department, of which this city is headquarters, have already been selected, and most of them have started on their special course of military training at the Presidio, the military reservation adjoining the city. Other non-commissioned off cers will probably be chosen as soon as they can be relieved from their present assignments. Thousands of officers are needed in the training of the vast army that is proposed, and the majority of them. it is expected, will come from the ranks of the regular army.
