number of men enlisted IN the civil war.
The latest official statement shows that,
through the call of the President, 2.Z7S,-
Soi men enlisted. At the outbreak OF
the war the regular army numbered 16,-
422. and II Is believed these men re-en-
listed or were commissioned in the regu-
lar or volunteer service
Same in Navy.
The same opinion prevails regarding
the navy, so the regular members OF
both branches have been included In
the total number of credits.
II Is believed the number of seamen
and marines enlisted was 105.9 .963. When
it leaves 2.612, 81 accredited to the army.
Re-enliStmentS have been placed at
543,S93 and this second deduction leaves
the volunteer forces OF the army at
2.128.94S
Through the deaths In the army, cred
tied at 35s. .52S. and the dese-ters. who
are numbered at III, ,247, the total num-
Der OF survivors at the end OF the war
is estimated at 1,652,1 ,173.
II IS believed that the number OF sur
vivors of the war who have never made
application for pensions is much larger
than is generally understood Thh
OF veterans. The first is made uD OF
men who are comparatively young,
whose physical condition is not such as
to bar them from the performance Of
A surprising statement in regard to
this is made in that, according to the
estimates OF the Pension Office, the
average age of all survivors OF the war
in 1895 was fifty-seyen years.
Other Reasons.
The other class includes men who
have never applied for pensions because
Of their circumstances, OF for senti-
mental reasons or because their 6isabili-
ties are not pensionable under the law
DR.. Gould's figures have formed the
mary OF the number of enlistments in
the various branches of the service,
their survivors and other data relative
TO the military forces.
1t gives the number Of enlistments in
the army as 2,672,34, and the navy,
100. .963. The total number of desertions
from the army during the course OF
the war Is recorded as 121. .S96 and the
number of deaths as 364 1i6. AT the close
of the war. the army survivors are re-
corded to have been ], So, ,173 in the army
and 40. $50 in the navy.
With DR.. Gould'S figures and the
inadequate means OF reaching the ex-
act statistics of the war, the Amer
lean public is provided with a table

garded-a point which provides an
interesting summary of one of the

THE CASE OF VARTANIAN
Turkey Does Not Recognize Claims of
People Naturalized Elsewhere
Unless Sultan Consents.

BERLIN. Sept. 21.-The position as
sumed by the United States Government
In attempting to protect the rights of
Armenians who become naturaliZed
citizens of the United States. and then
return to Turkey. does not receive much
support in Europe. according to dip
lomats In this city.
This matter has been prominently
brought TO the front by the recent con-
troversy over the case of Vartanian.
who IS accused of the murder of an
Armenian merchant. and who WIS SEN
fenced to death for the crime
Through the efforts of Minister Leish-
man the case has been opened up. and
the contention OF the United States that
its representative should be allowed to
communicate with the prisoner has been
recognized in this case. as well as in
that OF another American-Armenian
who IL accused of bomb throwing.
Europe, however. does not look with
favor upon the determination Of the
American Government TO preserve the
rights of naturalized Armenians in Tur-
key, IL the opinions of the diplomats can
be relied upon
One diplomat in discussing the ques-
ton today with the correspondent OF
the Publishers Press said:
Little sympathy is felt in Europe for
America in its repeated controversies
with Turkey upon this subject. Eu-
ropean countries respect the Turkish
law which says that no Turk may be
come citizen of any European count:y
without obtaining the consent of the
Sultan. which is granted only If the ap'
plicaDt agrees never TO return TO Tur
key. If the Turk does not agree to this
arrangement, then his new country viii

KEY.
America does not follow this rule

strongly against America.

United States Is supporting the forces

WASHINGTON PITCHER
HeTndon After Good Man for Annual
Games With LeesbuTg-What
Happened to Jacobsen.

There will be something doing in the
baseball line among the small towns
near Washington next summer.
Ambitious plans are Deing laid for
the formation of a semi-professional
league similar to those which have been
such a success in the Northern States
For several years there have been
teams in the various towns. which have
been composed partly OF home talent
with mixture of imported stars, who
We're generally On hand for the more
important games. These haphazard In
dependent teams have Deen so sue
cessful and have aroused so much in
tereSt that the promoters feel the time
has come for the organization of
permanent league.
The towns which will probably figure
in the new league are Herndon, Lees
burg, Manassas. Alexandria, Pooies-
vile and Falls Church Prominent
persons in each of these places have
been approached and assurances have
been received that there Will be an
abundance of money TO provide the
outside players who may be need
ed to strengthen the teams. 1t Is plan
ned 10 form a stock company in each
town and Herndon is already getting
its money together.
Hot Times Coming.
Tomorrow and Saturday will see some
7
place in Virginia in many moons. Hern-
| don and Leesburg are to play off their
annual feud. Leesburg has obtained the
services of Connie Carter. one of the
pitchers signed by John McGraw. Of the
New York Nationals. for next year. and
has counted on winning through his
| services. To offset this shrewd trick
| of the Leesburg management, L. +. Or
! rison. captain of the Herndon team, and
| l.. @. Schooley, of that town, came TO
\ Washington this morning TO see Mana
( ger Stahl about getting one OF the

The Washington times., 1905-09-21

Basing computations on such exper-
ience as is applicable. it is calculated
that in the year 1915 the last survivor
of the Union armries in the civil war
will have passed away
The pension list passed its high point
early iE the present year, and Is eX-
pected TO show graoual decrease from
this time forth. That decrease will not
for some years have much effect on the
appropriation required for pensions; but
the time is not far away when de
creaSing demand for this purpose Will
begin to reduce the annual draft on the
Treasury in a considerable measure.
But. on the other hand, when the
last survivor of the war has passed away
il will not mean the end OF paying pen
sious for their account There will
still be a long pension roll OF widows
of soldiers. The last pensioner OF the
Revolutionary war. the widow of SOL
dier, has but very recently died.
DR.. Gould's Figures.
DIR. 3. A. Gould. for the United States
Sanitary Commission, has prepared a
life table, which includes in its register
data of an interesting character and as
close to actual figures as could be ade-
quately outlined While these figures
are necessarily approximate. they have
been carefully compiled and are be-
lieved to form the best estimate OBJ
statistics Of the military forces or
that time
That the veterans OF the civil war
are fast joining their comrades who
have gone before, is evidenced by the
fact that the number Of pension claims
registered In the Pension Bureau reach
ed it's zenith in the early part of the
present year and that it is now steadily
being decreased
The End Comes
From the figures which DR.. Gould pre-
pared for the United States Sanitary
Commission a table has been formed.
This shows the probable number OF sur
vivors, excluding deserters. at the end
of each fiscal year from 1880 until 1915,
when IL Is believed that in the ordinary
course of events, the last survivor will
have passed away.
In June, 1S05, IL is estimated there were
$40, ,6S7. Various causes lead the statis-
tician to believe that the decrease in
the following twelve months will re-
duce the number to 7S2, 40. 4 compare
lively slight decrease, an odd g. .01o Is
recorded for the following year and
relatively small ones follow until 1915,
when a drop OF nearly 10000 is noted.
This is repeated by 1920 10000 more in
when ~Reveille' will be sounded IN vain
