There is d fear that the war in the Philippines has gone past the period of spontaneous volunteering. General MacArthur has recommended the payment of a bounty of $250 to every soldier in the Philippines who re-enlists for another term. The terms of nearly ail the soldiers there will expire on the JOth of June next, and it is doubted if the payment of a bounty will induce many of them to reenlist. and the problem of recruiting anew will have to be immediately faced. The New York World comments as follows: “Almost siSpultaneous announcement is made that the British Government has been forced to multiply by four the per diem pay of its mounted troops in South Africa in order to recruit their constantly depleting ranks. It is thus made plain that to keep 60,000 American troops in Asia and 210,000 British troops Africa, in wars which the commanders in each case have declared to be over, except as to guerrilla and bushwhacking operations, bounties and geatly increased pay for the private soldiers are necessary.” This would not be the case in the United States if our war were for the integrity of the country. There is not the same zeal to go across oceans to tight for the subjugation of n a people ns there is to preservo American prestige. The soldiers in the Philippines have fought bravely. They have done their share of duty and are entitled to come home if they want to, and we shall soon be confronted with the problem of supplying their places. That the army will be kept to the number authorized by Congress there is no doubt, but, as the World suggests, it may require more generous payment.. It would be a sad commentary indeed if it be necessary to resorf to the draft.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
