THE experience in the army is that men up
/ to thirty are generally less hardy than men up
to fifty. In addition to being as yet far from
ssphysically set, = that is, entirely beyond the
Igrowing stage, the younger men often reduce
their endurance and physical vigor, generally
fby incorrect eating Older men are not in the
habit of doing this, it is asserted.
But the young men sin also in other respects.
Often they are Indifferent to hardship when
they should not be; while the older men see to
it that their feet are always dry and warm, the
Younger soldiers overlook this habitually With
the officers, the older soldier is the fayorite.
Not only does he give less trouble In the sani-
tary department, but his ripper mind under
stands more readily the purposes and necessity
of military discipline. An Austrian colonel
with whom this subject was discussed said that
older troops need little application of disci-
pline, because their natural conduct as grown
men was discipline itself. Heihad seen no diff
