[ MILITIA CHIEF
GIVES FIGURES
:
>
\
[ AS TO NUMBER OF MEN OF
SOLDIER AGE AVAILABLE
; FOR SERVICE
i
I WASHINGTON, Jan. 10—All
. sorts of figures have been quoted
as to the available number of men
■ in the United States for military
:
l service. There is a wide diverg
■ ence in them. But authoritative
figures are now at hand, found in
the annual report of the chief of the
division of militia affairs. Brig.
Gen. Albert L. Mills, United States
army.
The census of 1910 returned 20,
538,347 males of the ages named,
or more than 3,000,000 more than
.the adjutants general returned five
years later, but as a figure of real
human resources the returns of the
adjutants general are considered
more nearly exact, for one thing
the census returned every male
of the age indicated, including those
who were serving in the army, navy,
marine corps, national guard, gov
ernment service, or who were charg
es of the state. The individual
state returns exclude many of these,
even, in some instances, excluding
those who are serving the govern
ment in some civl capacity, and
net co exempt from miltary service.
The gieat and undetermined fac
tor of error in all figures, however,
is the physical unfit. Some amazing
statistics recently gathered in Great
Biitain, incident to the campaign
for compulsory seiwice, or con
scription, have been received here.
They show that of the men of mil
itary age in the United Kingdom
noless than 60 per cent, could pass
the physical tests, and that 20 per
cen. more were exempt by reason
of character of employment, leaving
20 per cent, of the gross available.
Apply that to this country, and
instead of 17,049,068 there would
be only 3,409,814 available. But it
is believed that such a comparison
is far from fair, since physical
standards are regarded as higher
in the United States than in the
United Kingdom. In industrial
centers there may be an excess of
stunted and physically defective,
but take it by and largely through
the country, particularly in the
West, the percentage ofphysically
defective is small. It is quite true
that the percentage of rejections at
army and navy recruiting stations
in the United States is high, much
in excess of 50 per cent., but the
tests are more severe than in any
other military service in the world,
and further, under existng condi
tions, the average presenting them
selves for enlistment is not quite
the average of the population.

ALLIES IN WAR, CO
W 3RKERS IN PEACE
ARE SHARING SORROWS BUT
WILL ALSO SHARE THE
PLEASURES
BRUSSELS, Jan. 8—It is charac
teristic that Belgium, even in this,
her period of unhappiness and dis
tress, should look ahead into the
brighter season to follow the war.
Belgium is an industrial nation and
before the war one of the wealthiest,
per capita, in the world, and already
the people are looking forward to
the real rehabitation of the coun
try. Already tentative plans are
being formulated for the recon
struction of railroads, the rebuild
ing of cities and other immense
works that have been laid waste by
German artillery.
“Where will we look for the men
and the loans necessary to th;s
work”, said a prominent Belgian,
discussing the matter. “Why, to
our allies, of course. They are our
allies in war and will continue to be
in peace. We have shared sorrows
and we will share the pleasures of
rebuilding
“ To Canada we are forced to
look for assistance now in these
dark days of destitution. Our
| children are crying and our women
pleading for the flour that Canada
has to give. We will never forget
what Canada is doing for us—for
our women and children, many
of them bereaved by our common
i cause—and when the rehabitation
i begins Canada will profit indus
] trial ly.
"To many today Canada is rep
i resented by the Belgian Relief Com
] mittee of Montreal, but when peace
[ is declared Canada will be known
l here and will Know Belgium as
i never before.”
