OLD WORLD ARMIES
Draftmg Methods by Which Their
Strength is Maintained.
TRICKS OF THE CONSCRIPTS.
All Manner of Dodges Are Adopted by
the Eligible Young Men to Avoid the
Enforced Military Service That la So
Hateful to Them.
We hear a good deal about conscrip
tion. but few peopltr-fcnow whnt It ac
tually means. In no country is every
person who Is able to fight drafted
Into the arruy. All mules who are lia
ble to serve undergo a physical exam
ination. resulting In only a certain
number being pussed ns fit for service.
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 en
rolled varying according to the funds
In the hands of the authorities.
The pay provided for the conscript
is necessarily very trilling Indeed and
will not compare with that paid to vol
unteer soldiers. In fact, it is generally
true ihat tin* conscript must fall back
upon Ids private means.
The methods vary In each country,
tint take the? ease of one Em-*' an
power. Every inale subject not phys
ically IneajKieltaied is liable to enter
the arruy at the ago of twenty, al
though those who care to enlist uiay
do vo at eighteen.
A register is kept of all the youths
who reach the ago of twenty 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 them unsuitable for uc
tlvo service.
Other men arc also exempt If they
have helpless dependents — thus the
only son of a widow or of a disabled
father, the latter category also includ
ing the only son of a father who Is
above seventy years of age. Then the
eldest of a family of orphans is ex
empt. and In the case of two sons only
one is liable, there being various other
exemptions.
The term served by the conscript Is
one of twenty-five years, three years
being spent in the regular army, six
and one-half in the army reserve, six
in the territorial army and the re
maining nine and a half years In the
territorial reserve, all liability to son
ice ceasing at forty-five.
The service is frequently so hated
that nil mauner of methods are adopt
ed In order to avoid It. In many
cases substitutes are provided by the
wealthy, though there are stringent
regulations with regard to the pro
vision of tlie substitutes.
In most European countries military
malingering in order to avoid compul
sory military service has reached the
stage of a fine art. In fact, a formida
ble list of new crimes has been added
to the statutes as a result, and medical
men frequently have to suffer for their
assistance in (his particular kind of
fraud.
Thus some time ago a number of
Cologne doctors were arrested upon a
charge of having administered pills to
young conscripts. These pills consist
ed of drugs which produced the symp
toms of heart disease so effectively as
completely to deceive the military au
thorities. with the result that the con
scripts were declared unfit for service.
In this ens, the fraud was brought to
light by one of the conscripts dying ns
a result of an overdose of the medi
cine.
In (lermnny. where the conscript is
frequently treated with tin* greatest
harshness, then* are very few towns
where there are not specialists whose
living depends .solely in inducing such
a condition of affairs us will render
young men exempt by reason of unfit
ness.
In (he French army It Is quite com
mon for youths to feign nil manner of
Ills, dcnfncss being the usual ailment
trusted to in order to escape the serv
ice. As a result the military doctors
have made an especial study of meth
<>d«; of detecting feigned deafness and
to trap the cunning youth who acts
tl’.e parr of a deaf man.
Another common practice in France
is »o tamper with the eyesight, t! ugh
this frequently results in permanent
Injury. For Instance, short sight is
produced by wearing powerful con
cave glasses for a considerable time
despite the risk of bringing nl*oui per
influent blindness. It Is no unconi
mon occurrence for men to commit sui
cide rather than submit to forced sor\
Ice In I he army.
In eastern Murope most bridal moth
ods are adopted by parents in order
fBut their sons may be able to work
for them Instead of serving In the
triny. The hoys are frequently ill
treater!, and it 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 having
to become soldiers.
Switzerland probably lias the client*
rst army and (lie least burdensome
methods of conscription, the service
being much lighter than in the other
Continental armies. Indeed, the con
script in the Infantry army has to un
dergo actual training for only FID dnys
during the entire period of Ids service.
