Washington, April 12.-The war de-
partment prepared today to issue in
structions for a call OF 100000 volun-
teers to fill up the regular army and
the existing units of the national
guard.
All recruits enlisted since the declar-
alton of war and those enlisted here
after will be notified that~they viii be
discharged at the close Of the war.
A total Of 1856 mon already have
been ENROLLED in the regular army who
will come under such status. This
number Of troops were accepted after
the passage of the resolution.
Analysis of the pending military bill
shows that provision ist made Tor the
|sNsofptton OF 517,85B volunteers OF
these 1s1, ,54s. will be needed to fill up
the regular army and 206, ,34S for the
national guard. AS 10000 men must

BY this plan, while absorbing the
volunteer spirit of the country, the
feasibility Of depending entirely on
volunteers will be demonstrated.
Army officers are certain it will show
congress where they are doubtful of
the selective conscription plan. that
conscription is necessary to maintain
the army.
U. s. Aiding New Russia.
Efforts of the American government
are being directed toward assisting the
democratized government in Russia to
strengthen its position, lessen internal
trouble and quickly bring Russia S
forces to bear againsh Germany.
Reports to the government say the
difficulties of Russia are many and
that Germany's principal object is
either to bring about separate peace
with that nation or, failing in that, to
stir up internal troubles.
One Of the principal objects Of the
administrations desire for expedition
to get authority from congress for a
large bond issue is to extend a loan
to the new Russian government.
Other ways Of helping Russia are be-
ing studied. Charles r. Crane, Of
Chicago, long interested in develop
ments in Russia, is now on his way to
that country.
The needs Of France, Great Britain
and other members Of the entente al
lance are not forgotten and every
thing possible will be done for them,
but they are agreed that Russia should
get assistance first.

New York, April PA vivid ac-
count of running fight i'll the Mcdl-
terranean between a German sub
marine and British freighter, N
which the U-boat was struck three
times in an exchange Of 80 shots
apiece, resulting in an explosion
aboard the submarine and its prob
able destruction, was related by Can't
James Cruddace, skipper of the steam,
ship, on his arrival yesterday.
The engagement, according tc
Capt. Cruddace,. occurred April .
while outward bound from an Italian
port. The U-boat opened fire at
range Of miles and was instantly
answered by the gunners on tn
freighter. The artillery duel was hot
with the contestants steaming at full
speed, broadside on, when a we'll
aimed shot from the freighter tore
into the submarine.

GERMANY AND TURKEY

The following passage from let
ter written by Bismark on August
II, 1877, is opportune now that Turk
ey has broken off relations with the
United States:
at is impossible without deep SYM
pathy to read of the misfortunes OF
these brave and friendly soldiers, or
without Indignation to learn of the
shameless outrages committed by the
Turks upon the wounded and help
less. With such barbarlans It is diff
fcult to be on good terms diplomatic
cally and I think that all Christian
powers must be indignant. For the
Russians there lies in these events
evidence that, in this war, they are
the champions Of Christian civilization
against heathenish barbarlsm."
The letter will be found in the can
hang" to Bismark's "Erinnerungen,
on Page 273 of volunme I.
The Baltimore Sun in commenting
upon the above says: Russia still
seems to be fighting as champion Of
civilization, but Bismarck's nation
seems no longer to be quite so indig-
nant against heathehish barbarism.
Is it possible that the great number
|
drawn there by a "fellow-feeling"
and that the intimacy between Con-
stantinople and Berlin is another
proof of like gravitating to like?
