OUR "BANTAM" ARMIES They're saying now thai the N tional army of I91T ill he an ag gregation ot bantams compared win the bovs oi I8SL The National Council of Research announces tha Civil War physical standards were considerably higher than those of t day. The minimum height limit, now reduced to 61 inches, was then o4 inches. The weight and chest meas lire requirements, too. were higher It develops that the average Amer ican of the early sixties was really taller and heavier, and had a bigger chest nieasurement. than the average American of today. It was there fore necessary to lower the require ments in order to provide an adequate number of men. We need not conclude, however, many have done, that the average American today is necessarily infer ior in physique and fighting power to the American of half a century ago The difference, it appears, is largely a difference of race. It isn't that the tons of Civil War soldier are small er than they were, hut that immigra tion has changed the average meas nrements of the nation. The old standards ere based oi the sire of tall races, "northern Eu ropcans, negroes and Indians." Pres ent standards have been adjusted to meet the change made by the great infusion of smaller races, such the southern Slavs, Italians. Russians. Austrians. French and Swiss. Thee races are not usually regard ed a? any less vigorously merely because they are smaller. It has been proved in the present war that "ban tam regiments, whatever their na tionality or race, show no fighting inferiority to regiments of big men HSFTTS By F. P.
