"As such a momentous war nS~4
was fought before in the world -
such youthful armies never were mus
tered before. In olden times soldiers
were generally sturdy men Of mature
age. History gives the veterans OF
Alexander, Of Caesar. Of Frederick the
Great and Napoleon at an average age
Of 81 years. Under our own laws, in
time of peace, boys are not enlisted
but when in 81 the tocsin Of war
sounded over the land and during the
four years following, years Of shock
and carnage, the cradle gave response.

became the saviors of our liberties.
II you choose you may compare these
statistics with those Of our revolu-
tionary fathers. one of whom was my
grand uncle who fought from Bunker
Hill to Yorktown. They were compar-
atively old men, the average being
about 80 years. While 1t may be said
