1t marked the last great conflict
between the people of a free, self
governing Republic and that of the
last absolute Monarchy.
Four hundred fifty-eight (45S)
thousand were engaged in this con-
flict, exceeding in number those
engaged in the Revolutionary War,
the Mexican War, or the War of
1912.
The loss in death from all causes
was 43% as compared with six
tenths of one per cent for the Civil
War and seven-tenths of one per
cent for the World War.
The average length of service
was Ia months as compared with
8 months for the World War and
IL months for the Civil War.
The pay was SIS a month as
compared with $50 for the World
War.
We received no bonus, no war
risk insurance, no adjusted COM
pensation, no vocational training
and no disqualification until 1922,
twenty years after the war was
over.
! The cost of the war was one
billion, eight hundred million; the
Civil War eight billion, five hun
dred million, and the World War
fifty billion, eight hundred million
Property was acquired valued al
eight billion as compared with
none for the Civil War and none
for the World War.
The average pension after TWEEN
ty years was $21 as compared will
$2S for the Civil War and 1926 pei
month after three years for World
War veterans.
$40 saw foreign service as com
pared with 36% for World Wa
veterans.
1870 of our veterans were SON
of Civil War veterans and 42%
saw service in World War.
The duration of the war witt
Spain and the Philippine Insurrec
tion was 4 years and months, a
compared with 4 years for tn
Civil War and 1 year and month
for the World War.
