HOLD THE VOLUNTEERS.
The developments of the last few
days have shown the wisdom of the
president's decision Dot to muster
out any more volunteers. It is clear
now that no demand on Spain will be
granted unless we are prepared to en
force it. Spain never would have
engaged in war had we had six
months ago an army of 250,000
soldiers ready for military opera
tions. She will yield without further
resistance if we keep 200,000 soldiers
roady for military operations. She
will not yield if we reduce the num
ber one-half or break down the great
organization we have spent so much
money to create.
Very few regiments have been
mustered out. Inmost- cases the
mec of regiments ordered home have
teen given furloughs for thirty or
sixty days. The convalescents on
furlough will recover their health
.and those who were homesick will
find that lounging about the city or
country village is quite as irksome as
camp lite. If they are called again
to service they will return with zest
to take up active campaigning in
weather better suited to military
operations than was the summer.
If there is a possibility of a con
tinuance of the war the government
cannot afford to master out any more
volunteers. The experience which
they have had is invaluable because
in It the3 have gained what can be
gained in no other way. The troops
that have been in camp or in the
field for four months have passed
through the most trying period of a
soldier's life. Seasoned and trained
as they are, they are worth to the
government four times their number
in green men. The government de
sires, of course, to reduce war ex
penses, but if there is a possibility
that hostilities will be resumed it
would be economy to keep the present
volunteers in service or under orders.,
and season and train them still
further.
Many ridiculous complaints are
made about garrison and patrol duty
among the volunteers. The inference
is that troops sent to Cuba, or Porto
Rico, or the Philippines, will have no
other than police duty to perform.
The chances are the other way. The
volunteer army which has just out its
eye teeth and is fairly ready for the
work of war would, in event of a dis
agreement with Spain, have opportu
nity to do under more favorable con
ditions what Shatter's army did m
Cuba.
Remaining in service through
September and October will be no
hardship to troops in camp in this
country or in Porto Rico. Service
through the winter months in Cuba
will not be trying or dangerous.
Every month's service adds to the
value of the soldier, and from this
time forward fewer mistakes will bi
made by officers and men. Even if
there be no resumption of the war
against Spain the extra sixty days'
.service or extr six months', as the
case may be, will leave the volun
teers much better for their experience
in the army than they would be if
discharged now. This in itself will
be of great advantage to the nation.
In view of future calls for volunteers
it is most desirable that the men now
in service carry to their homes, when
they are discharged, fair knowledge
of a soldier's life, and that they ore
disoharged, fair knowledge of a sol
dier's life, and that ihey be con
trolled by soldierly instinct, spirit,
and pride.

If nine-tenths ot the Filippinos
want to be annexed, what is the pro
portation in Cuba? Probably not
much less on a full vote and fair
count. .
