The veterans passed the half century
point some years ago How long VIII
they remain upon the stage in sufficient
numbers to give spirit to ceremonies
concentrating the civil war; Twenty
years from now We shall be celebrating
the centennial of the victories at Lun-
dv's Lane, Lake Champlain and Baltl-
more; also that Of jackson over Paken-
ham at New Orleans, and about that
time the semicentennlal of the closing
battles Of the civil war. Is 1t a daring
assumption to presume that there VIII
then be living twice as many Union
veterans as there We're boys i'll blue on
any Of the battlefelds of 1918? There
are good grounds for believing that such
will be the case.
There Were about ., 600, 600 indivld-
uals recruited for the Union armies, of
which number $50, 600 official figures
died in service, and at least 40, 600 died
after discharge during the war who are
not included III the government stats
tics. At the close Of the war, then In
1868, there We're living about l, 500, 900
veterans averaging about 20 years OF
age At the average rate for men III
health the number would decrease in
80 wears about $50 600, leaving 100,
600 survivors in 1871 About four years
ago the pension and Grand Army roles
and the rosters Of veteran associations
showed $50. QQO Survivors, hut part Of
the figures wtre not trustworthy, and
revision Of thCuI, together with the
l,a.y
brought the number down to ! ,00o. 0o0
In other words, there have been geo, 600
deaths in 80 years an increase Of the
usual mortuary rate. But if there are
only a million left, these being Of adj
vauced, age and the mortuarv rate has
been excessive thus far, does that argue
against marshalin. an army of them 90
years hence: Their average ages now
are about 56 The death report Of the
departments Of Michigan and New York
for 1913 and Of the national encamp-
ment for the whole United States for
1892 shows that the mOrtuary rate i
less than the average recognized by III
surance actuarlcs.
The Michigan report for 20, 600 vetcr-
ans averaging 50 years showed NOR
tally Of - to 1000, that Of New York
a rate Of 20 III !, 0O0 among Al 600, and
the national report for 100, 900 men, IN
Guiding inmates Of soldiers homes, pre-
