THE REJECTED MAN
By DR. JOHN H. QUAYLE
American arms have lost their first1 of
training, simple diet, discl-
bout with the enemy and lost it on
American soil!
For Uncle Sam has been coin pell <?d
to reject from 68 to 80 per cent of his
volunteers for physical reasons, thus
removing from the combat forces,
thousands of men between the charm-
ed ages o{ 21 and 31 years, the stage
ia man's existence when Nature is
most kind to him.
This is an economic war loss the na-
tion cannot—must not—stand. It is
an economic war loss the nation
NEED NOT stand if the country will
repair its man power at an expense of
not more than $50 to $100 per man.
THE INDIVIDUAL MUST BE
RAISED TO THE REQUIREMENTS
OF THE ARMY AND NAVY STAND-
ARDS. THIS CAN BE ACCOM-
PLISHED WITHIN A PERIOD OF
FROM ONE O SIX MONTHS AND
THE INDIVIDUAL MADE READY
FOR MILITARY SERVICE OR EFFI-
CIENT CIVIL LIFE.
Fail to accomplish this and there
will be new heartaches for mothers,
sisters, sweethearts and friends, for
the enlistment age must be lowered
to include the great body of young
men between the ages of 19 and 21
years, as well as extended to 40 years.
Such is the alternative plan already
being discussed in the war department.
In the first draft but a small, per-
centage of 2,500,000 first called men
proved available for military service,
and the places of rejects were filled
by others probably vastly more need-
ed in the economic world, for many
of those who failed physically are of
the parasite class—men without oc-
cupation who live on the product of
others; and many of the rest suffered
from minor complaints.
Yet but one to six months under
proper medical, surgical, dietetic and
disciplinary instruction in reclamation
cantonments 'will make nine-tenths of
these rejects fit—and in most cases
eager—for military service.
Such is a brief summary of the plan
I have laid before President Wilson,
Secretary of War Barker, Surgeon
General Gorgas of the army, and the
plan Senator Pomerene has incorpo-
man power in the United States to be
discussed by congress.
It is the one burning question of
the country today. Shall the^slacker eration.
.><?,
—i. e., the unfit physically or mental-
ly—escape his share of war’s burden,
while the very flower of American
manhood is called on to bear the load
for him?
“No," a nation of soldier-mothers
shrieks in protest, and “No” must be
the answer of the entire country, and
“Treat every one alike.”
“Then,” one must reply logically,
"adopt the reclamation plan; give
these rejects back their physical and
mental balance, and gfive Uncle Sam
hack eligibles in the, place of misfits
—6,000,000 of them at least for the
army or civic life.
The system is simple. Replace bad
habits with very- good ones; replace
body clogging foods with a simple
diet; teach him the value of discipline,
and where necessary give him reme-
dial surgery or medical treatment com-
bined with proper exercise, fresh air
and a new will power. Then you will
eliminate 90 per cent of (he imperrec-
tions and in their place have men fit-
ted for their country's tasks.
Every American youth would be
physically and morally greater if he
could have the advantage of such
treatment.
This is no visionary uplift scheme,
though its eugenic effect and its re-
sult in increase of efficiency, will be
nation-wide. The war is setting a new
standard of super-men and when the
war is over the weakling will be
stamped a failure even before he has
demonstrated that his frazzled nerves,
bad heart, obsturcted breathing and
bad digestion militate against putting
forth efficient effort.
But the principal questions of to-
day are “Soldiers,” and “Efficiency at
Home." Let us see how to reclaim
them from the mass jof rejects.
First, the slacker—i. e., coward-
must beg iven confidence. What he
needs is a perfected body and an appli-
cation of what I call “Massed Psy-
chology.” By this I mean association
with normal chaps, that his patriotic
urge may develop while he is being
refitted physically.
The German war machine is an evi-
dence of what “massed physhology”
will do Tor the individual. The first
word the German baby learns is “Kai-
ser,” then "Gott,” then “Vater” and
“Mutter.” In building their race of
warriors the Germans have left out
the finer things so that when the time
comes .to advance Into the face of al-
most certain death there are no soft-
ening influences.
The German soldier has been taught
to think along certain lines. Associa-
tion with others of like mind have
solidified his opinions. He has been
compelled to keep his body fit for
“The Great Effort.” The combination
pline and "massed psychology” has
given him an ineradicable personal
psychology.
Physical rebirth of our rejects un-
der cantonment discipline will bring
our more highly imaginative Ameri-
cans a similar viewpoint quickly.
Thousands of men, as will be seen
by reference to the table appended
have been rejected for such minor
causes as imperfect sight, flat tor
weak foot, alcoholism, varicose veins,
varicocele and hemmorhoids. Yet a
majority of these are curable within
thirty days.
The classification of 2,500,000 men
based on the surgeon general’s report
ending June 30, 1916 are as follows—
500,000 would be accepted and sent
to the cantonments—that would leave
us 2,000,000 rejected men. These re-
jects would be classified as follows:
Venereal diseases ..... 260,000
Heart disease ................................156,880
Ear defects ....................................146,000
Eyesight .......v......................... 117,140
Flat feet ............................. 96,220
Alcoholism .................................. 82,400
Injuries .......................................... 57,720
Defects of locomotion ................ 76,890
Hernia .......................................... 51,140
Skin disease .................................. 48,520
Respiratory system (lungs) .... 43,500
Teeth .............................................. 41,420
Constitutional ..... 34,720
Varicose veins ............................ 25,100
Nervous troubles ........................ 24,680
General defects.............................. 23,000
Varicocele ............... 13,380
Deficient chest .............................. 12,140
Debility ............ 10,800
Curvature of spine ...................... 10,040
Overweight .................................. 8,780

Underweight ................................ 5,860
Mental .......................................... 40,580
Nonphysical causes, unclassi-
fied .................... 478,140
Take this list to any expert diagnos-
tician—he will tell you that if you
give them the benefit of the best med-
ical and surgical skill for the removal
or correction of abnormalities, and
then give them a finishing course of
the right-living, disciplined existence
of the camp and you will have a phys-
rated in his bill for reclamation of ically recreated man fit for the duties
of a soldier or civilian and remember
that the man from 21 to 40 years of
age will be the fathers of our next gen-

Associated Press
London, Dec. 25.—(Correspondence)
—A graphic story of the murder by
drunken Russian soldiers of Prince
Sangushko, a Polish noble, and of his
two daughters, the Countesses Rzys-
czcwski, is related by the Petrograd
correspondent of Lloyd’s News.
Before the war the tragedy lately
enacted at Slavuta would have sent a
thrill of horror throughout Europe,'
says the correspondent. "As it is,
the bare fact that the venerable Prince
Sangushko, 90 years pld, had been
murdered, has been announced, but
the ghastly details of the crime have
only just been revealed.
“The castle of Slavuta, built when
the district of Southwestern Russia,
where it stands, belonged to the King
of Poland, lies on the outskirts of a
little manufacturing town of the same
namp. Owing to the unsettled state
of the country, which is infested by
deserters from the army, the mili-
tary authorities had sent a guard ot
dragoons to the castle, which contains
priceless historical treasures accumu-
lated by the Sangushko family in the
course of the centuries.
“One of these dragoons caught a
soldier from a neighboring village cut-
ting down a tree in the forest sur-
rounding the castle and tackled him.
The thief was slightly wounded, but
not severely enough to prevent his
running to the neighboring village,
where his regiment /was stationed,
shrieking that the guard at the castle
was trying to murder him. The sol-
dier’s comrades at once seized their
rifles antf surrounded the castle ot
Prince Sangushko. They began to
fire and the dragoons on guard re-
turned their fire. A11 the time the
officers and the members of the regi-
mental committee were appealing to
the insurgent soldiers to obey orders j
and to cease firing.
“Suddenly the gave way, only stip-;
ulating that a deputation from the reg- j
imental committee should search the
castle, as they were convinced that
the old prince had stored machine
guns for use in the cause of Hie coun-
ter revolution. Of course, there were
no machine guns, and all that was
found was a few sporting guns and
revolvers.
“Just as suddenly as Nthe crowd of
soldiers, standing in the courtyard ot
the castle, had yielded to the appeal
of -their officers, came a new uproar,
and, in an instant, they had overpow-
ered the guard, and rushed into the
castle. Neither threats nor appeals
had the slightest effect on them. They
destroyed, in a fit of maniacal fury,
everything that they could lay hands
on. Pictures, furniture, statues, drap-
eries were destroyed blindly, ruthless-
ly. The venerable Polish magnate
and his two nieces, the young and
beautiful Countesses Rsyszczcwski,
fled to one of the attics, hoping that,
if their home was to be ruined, at
least their lives might be saved. From
early in the morning, when the ma-
rauders began their attack, until five
o’clock in the afternoon, the sacking
ot the castle went out. Then the sol-
diers retired to the courtyard.
“ ‘What about the Prince ’ cried one
of them.
" ‘And the lovely countesses?’ added
another.
“Back into the castle rushed a band
of soldiers, and began to search for
the owner. At last he was found, and
dragged into the courtyard among the
derisive yells of the soldiers waiting
for their victim. They decided to take
him to the village where they were
stationed, and dragged the old man
along, for he was too old to walk at
the pace they desired. On the way
they finally lost the last shred of self-
control, let the prince drop, half sense-
less on the ground and then a score
of men thrust their bayonets into his
body. So died Prince Sangushko. His
murderers, like savage beasts tore his
body in pieces.
"The fate of his nieces, the two
Countesses Rzyszczcwski, was more
terrible than that of the prince. They
had managed to escape by a back way
and had got to the market place ot
the town. There they were recogniz-
ed, and soldiers at once seized them.
Those two youthful countesses, whose
exquisite loveliness had made them
the center of all eyes in the salons ol
t>e palace of Warsaw and whose good-
ness and sweetness had made them
beloved by the people of Slavuta, were
defended for a time by the Catholic
priest of Slavuta* who had known
them from childhood and prepared
them for first communion. But the
soldiers refused to be deprived of
their victims and showered blows with
the butt-ends of their rifles on the
courageous priest, who foil and was
beaten to death. It is perhaps well
that the sufferings of the two count-
esses ended in death.
“The day ended with the soldiers
running amuck in the town, murder-
ing1 and maltreating peaceful inhabi-
tants, while the scene was lit up by
the flames of the blazing castle of tha
Sangushko.”
SOUTH DAKOTA WOMAN CALLED
CHAMPION RED CROSS HELPER
Associated Press
' Dell Rapids, S. D„ Jan. 14.—Because
she raises the sheep, shears them,
cleans and cards the wool, makes
yarn, colors it to the Red Cross stand-
ard gray by carefully mixing the wool,
and knits socks, sweaters and helmets
out of it for the Red Cross, Mrs. Chris
White of Dell Rapids has obtained the
title of “America’s Champion Red
Cross Helper.”
This title was given Mrs. White by
the Minneapolis Red Cross headquar-
ters where she sends all of her work
and her name leads all the other
workers in the Northwest. She also
knits for her grandsons in the army
and for other boy| with whom she is
personally acquainted in army canton-
ments and "over there.” She is 70
years old.
The number of articles she has
knitted since the United States en-
tered the war, Mrs. White said she
could not estimate but she protested
that her work “was not worth making
much fuss about.”
