service. In this case the fraud was
brought to light by one of the con-
scripts dying as result of an over
dose of the medicine.
In Germany, where the conscript is
frequently treated with the greatest
harshness, there are very few towns
where there are not specialists whose
living depends solely in inducing such
a condition of affairs as will render
young men exempt by reason of unfit
ness.
In the French army it is quite COM
mon for youths to feign all manner Of
ills, deafness being the usual ailment
trusted to in order to escape the serv-
ice. AS result the military doctors
have made an especial study of meth
DDS of detecting feigned deafness and
to trap the cunning youth who acts
the part of deaf man.
In eastern Europe most brutal meth
eds are adopted by parents in order
that their sons may be able to. work
for them instead of serving in the
army. The boys are frequently rill-
treated, and 1t is not at all uncommon
even for their limbs to be broken or
their sight to be destroyed in order to
prevent any likelihood of their hav.
ing to become soldiers

RAISING OF EUROPEAN ARMIES
Various Systems Of Compulsory En-
listment-Many Methods Adopt
ed to Avoid Dread Service.

We hear a good deal about conscrip-
ton. but few people know what it ac-
tually means. In no country is every
person who is able to fight drafted
into the army All males who are
liable to serve undergo a physical ex-
animation, resulting in only a certain
number being passed as fit for serv-
ice, says Parsons Weekly.
No government has sufficient funds
to draft the whole of these men into
the regular army, so a selection Is
made by ballot, the number of men
enrolled varying according to the
funds in the hands of the authorities.
The pay provided for the conscript
is necessarily very trifling indeed.
and will not compare with that paid to
our volunteer soldiers In fact, it is
generally true that the conscript must
fall back upon his private means.
The methods vary in each country;
but take the case of one continental
power. Every male subject not
physically incapacitated is liable to
enter the army at the age of 20, al
though those who care to enlist may
do so at 10.
A register is kept of all youths who
reach the age Of 20 in the particular
year. Men under five feet two inches
in height are exempt from service, as
well, of course, as those who suffer
from natural infirmities which render
. I,
Other men also are exempt if they
have helpless dependents; thus, the
only son of a widow or of disabled
father the latter category also inclu-
ding the only son of father who is
above 10 years of age. Then the cid
est of family of orphans is exempt,
and in the case of two sons only one
is liable, there being various other ex-
emptions.
The term served by the conscript is
one of 20 years, three years being
spent in the regular army, 61a in the
army reserve, six in the territorial
army, and the remaining 9a years in
the territorial reserve, all liability to
service ceasing at 40,
The service is frequently so hated
that all manner of methods are adopt
ed in order to avoid it. In many cases
substitutes are provided by the
wealthy, thoAgh there are stringent
regulations with regard to the pro-
vision of substitutes.
In most continental countries mill
tary malingering in order to avoid
compulsory military service has
reached the stage of fine art. In fact,
a formidable list of new crimes has
been added to the statutes as result,
and medical men frequently have to
suffer for their assistance in this par
ticular kind of fraud.
Thus some time ago a number of
Cologne doctors were arrested upon
charge of having administered pills to
young conscripts. These pills con-
sisted of drugs which produced the
symptoms of heart disease SO effective
ly as completely to deceive the mill
tary authorities, with the result that
the conscripts were declared unfit for

were made of sod covered with brush
and hay, with dirt on top and walls
about three feet thick 1t looked like
visitation by Indians. They had
tried to set fire to the roofs. Some of
the doors were partly torn down and
the boards ripped off; the windows
were also broken, writes Robert
Bayles, in National Tribune.
The first place we struck after leav-
ing there was a stage station, not
great ways from where Hastings, Neb.,
is now. They informed us that the
settlement had been wiped out by the
Sioux Indians under Two Face.
We proceeded to Fort Laramie, and
while we were lying at Fort Laramie
woman and child were started back
to the States under an escort The
woman was one that had been carried
off in the Two Face raid. She had
been brought into Fort Laramie by
Two Face himself, he expecting to
make something out of the transac-
ton.
When Two Face appeared at the
fort he inquired for the big chief, ex-
pecting to be sent to the post COM
mander. Instead of that he was sent
to Gen. Conner. AS soon as Two-Face
saw him he started for the door to
go back downstairs.
When the general asked the Indian
what he wanted, TwoFace, thinking
to make the best of it, told the gen.
eral ne had a white squaw to trade
for hog and coffee. Gen. Conner asked
him where the white squaw was. The
Indian answered. Away off"
Gen. Conner made up his mind that
the woman was not far away; SO, tell
ing the Indian to sit down while he
post commander to have a scouting
party go out back of the fort in the
hills for mile or so and see If they
could not find white woman with an
Indian or two, and If they were found
to bring them to him.
In an hour or so the general was
informed that the woman and child
were found, and nearly naked, and
guarded by two Indians, who were
brought to the fort with them.
Gen. Conner in his interview with
the woman found that she, with two
children, boy of seven and mere
baby In arms, was taken after des-
perate fight There were about 100
Indians in the attack. They hacked
her husband to pieces in front of her
eyes.
After travelling for several days they
came to an Indian village, where they
put her to work doing all kinds of
drudgery. Two Face used her as he
wanted to, and when he got tired OF
her traded her off to another Indian
for some ponies. She was used in
the same manner by this other Indian.
AS soon as she got through telling
her story Gen. Connor ordered the
three Indians to the guard house, with
strict orders to see. chat they did not
escape. He then ordered a court-mar-
tial to convene the next day. The re-.
suit of the court-martial was that
Two Face was hanged and the other
two Indians were sent back to the
guard house
