than fought in the Civil War. VI
Union soldiers only 10000 went into
the army when they were past TWEEN
tv-six wears of age, while more than
, 100. 900 were but twenty-one years
old. or younger. Truly boys war!
The average age of all who fought in
tba Civil War was somewhat under
TWENTY-FIVE years. This new army S
units will all range from twenty-one
to thirtv-one. or an average of about
twenty-six years. However, exempt
ion of married men will tend to re-
lease a large percentage of those
above twenty-six than under it, and so
reduce the average for the whole
army. Deadly as the new war ma
,hinery is, it is certain that Americans
who fight in Europe will be alive in
he year 1000. Daniel Brakeman, the
