OUR ARMY FORCES
Defense Council Figures We Can
Raise 4,778,050.
ARE FIT FOR MILITARY DUTY.
Still Greater Number Might Be Put
Under Arm* In Emergency by Re
cruiting Older Men, Lowering of
Phytical Standard* and Placing Wo
men In Men'a Jobn.
| I •' '!• '/
New l'ork.—An army of 4,778,050 of
men between eighteen and forty-five
years old fit for military service is
available in this country, according to
the estimate of an investigating staff
of the executive committee of the may
or's committee on national defense.
A still greater number might be put
under arms in & serious emergency, ac
cording to the committee's report; by
the recruiting of older men, by the
lowering of physical standards and by
the employment of women in occupa
tions now open only to men.
The task of estimating the total re
sources of the nation in men fivailable
for military service between the ages
of eighteen and forty-flve, Inclusive, is
complex. For into this calculation
there enter many uncertain factors. In
addition to the morbidity rate and the
physical rejection rate there is to be
considered the dependency of families
and the need of men of mature years
in the business and industry of the
country.
In 1910 the males ffom eighteen to
forty-five years old In the United States
numbered 21,071,076. Although approx
imately 1.S00,000 were aliens and there
fore ineligible for military service, the
officials of the census bureau consider
that the increase in population be
tween 1910 and the summer of 1916
has about compensated for these.
Through a deduction of 2% per cent
for morbidity, the tottl of 21,071,076
becomes 20.544.300, and through a de
duction of about 12& per cent for phys
ical defects there is a further reduction
to 1S.007.0S0.
Tile census tables snowing me num
ber of men hi various occupations
farmers. factory workers, miners,
physicians, lawyers, railroad employ
ees, clerks, public officials and so on—
have been carefully examined, and the
effort has been made to reach an ap
proximate estimate of the number that
could be spared for military duty In a
serious emergency. This leads to the
estimate that 17,000.000 out of the 80,
001,504 employed, or 58.5 per cent,
could be brought into service If needed.
And this percentage applied to the 18,
007,080 physically tit between eighteen
and forty-five years old gives 10,r>S5,
040.
Still unconsidered, however, is mar
-ital condition or dependency. Though
unmarried men have dependents, there
are married men who are in such cir
cumstances that they can do military
service without imposing hardship
upon their families. Hotv nearly the
latter come to offsetting the former
cannot be stated even approximately.
In this calculation all the single, wid
owed, aud divorced men are assumed
to be available and all the married
men unavailable.
Of the 21,071,070 men from eighteen
jto fortv-five years old 45.35 per cent
are single, widowed Or divorced (43.35
per cent being single). If this percent
age be applied to the 10,535,940—the
figure arrived at after deductions for
sickness, physical defects and indus
trial necessities—the number available
for service becomes 4,778,050, or 22.7
per cent of the entire number of males
from eighteen to forty-five. This is
about one out of five.
In the attempts to estimate a na
tion's human military resources It has
been borne in mind that the result de
pends upon highly elastic factors.
Upon the seriousness of the emergency
which faces a nation must depend In a
great degree the proportion of exemp
tions from military duty.
The executive committee is composed
of Willard Straight, chairman; Cleve
land H. Dodge, William fc>. Dykinan,
Major Francis G. Landon, John Mitch
ell, George W. Perkins,' ex-Secretary of
War Henry L. Stimson, Alfred E.
Smith and Alexander M. White.
WANTS CHAIR PAINTED RED.
Socialist Assemblyman Asks It; Also
Suggests Ear Trumpets.
Albany, X. Y.—Socialist Assembly
man J. I. Whitehom of Brooklyn has
suggested to tlio cleric of the assembly
that seat No. 140, which he occupies,
"be i«lnted red."
"When I drew the seat at thfe begin
ning of the session," he explained, "I
was told it was occupied by Socialist
Assemblyman Shiplacoff of Brooklyn
last year. So I said why not paint It
red and reserve It for any Socialist
who may be elected to the assembly In
the future."
Whitehom, who complains that he
cannot get favorable action on a reso
lution instructing the Public Buildings
Commission to improve the acoustics |
of the assembly chamber, now suggests
that each assemblyirian be supplied
with an ear trumpet at state expense.
