A great deal of talk is being in
dulged in these days favo>\ngthe
adoption of the Swiss military
training system in the United
^States, claiming it to be in are
efficient than that of any other
system of any European nation.
Many people who think thac
this situation has been sucesss
fully met in other places urge >.he
adoption of the system in use in
Switzeralnd or that in use in Aus
tralia. There is, unfortunately
very little accurate knowledge
among many who discuss this
matter concernig the details and
what is involved in the adoption
thereof.
Very briefly, the two systems
are as follows:
Every male Swiss is liable to
military service from the age ol
20 until the age of 50, and officers
until the age of 55. Between
the ages of 10 and 16 the Swiss
boy receives courses of gymnas
tics or calisthenics in the public
schools, and after the last named
age the law requires him to go on
with his gymnastics and to make
a beginning at musketry. Rifle
shooting is a national sport, and
practically every boy belongs to
ride clubs that are under national
auspices. The first line, called
the elite, consists of those from 20
to 32, inclusive; the second, 01
“landwehr,” of those from "33 to
to 44, inclusive ;the third consists
of all others from 17 to 50 years
of age. When a recruit reports
he is fitted with his uniform and
equipment and given a rflie, all
of which must be taken care oi
by him and remain in his custo
dy until the end of his military
service. Recruits receive instruc
tion from 60 to 90 days, depend
ing upon their arm of theser
vice. For the elite a repetition
course of from 7 to 14 days is held
every year. Sergeants and higher
non commissioned officers serve
ten repetition courses- In the
“landwehr” a repetition course of
fi days takes place every four

All work is in the field and on the
target range. Universal service
and the beginning of the work
in the public schools are the most
prominent elements of the Swiss
system.
The Australian system likewise
requires all male inhabitants to
render military service. They
are divided into junior cadets of
those between the ages of 12 and
14, inclusive, who serve for two
years for qohours each year, serve
ior cadets, 14 to 18 years, serve
four years, 4 whole days, 12 half
days, and 24 night drills Varia
tions are permissible, provided
the total remains the same. Citi
zen forces from 18 to 26 for eight
years, in first seven years equi*
alent to 16 whole days, of which
at least 8must be in camp. There
are particular requirements for
particular branches of the ser
ive which need not here be gone
into. Musketry is carried out on
Saturday afternoons throughout
the year, and nearly every train
ing locality has rifle ranges with
in a few miles. As in the Swiss;
system, the attention given in)
Veil MchoolV to gymnastics and
preliminary education along
military lines, together with uni-j
vcrsal military service, are thej
striking features of this svstem.*

GOOD OLD DOTS OF “61”
The annual report of Commis
sioner of Pensions Gaylord M.
baltzgaber for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1915, offers consider
able matter of interest to those
of our members who either know
or have relatives of the G. A. U
The number of deaths among the
civil war veterans, for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1915, was
33,255 and the previous year 33,
639. Of the estimated number of
original enlistments on the union
side—2,213,365 — assuming that
all survivors are on the pension
roll, only 386,370 remain The
total number of pensioners de
creased from 785,329 on June 30,
1914. to 748,147 on June 50, 1915.
Pension payments in 1914 were
8172,417,546, and $165,518,266 in
1915. Ohio retains more pen
sioners and draws a greater pen
sion than any other state in the
union, the number being 70,768
and the amount $15,666,677, of
which $794,743 goes to inmates of
the Central National Military
home at Dayton. The second
state is Pennsylvania, with 69,011
pensioners, who draw $15,275,745.
Indiana has 45,613 pensioners,
who get $10,096,919, and Ken
Ir^
lucky 19,491, who receive $4,313,
894.
The number of troops, on the
confederate side was 750,000. It
is assumed that the survivors
have dt creased quite as rapidly
as the survivors of the union
force"- It will not he many year:
hence when a civil war veteran o
either side will be a boasted pos
session of mighty few communi
ties. fJ.-ltysburg was the great
est battle of the war. Antietam
the b'oodiest, the losses on both
sides were 3,994 killed, 18,897
wounded, 2,120 missing, a total
