Nearto 1,000,000 Soldiers Who Served in Federal ArmaWereUnder ears of Aoe HE FACT that the draft law under •which the United States is now rais­ ing Its armies placed the minimum age of meil to be included in the draft at twenty-one years has called attention to the extreme youth of the men who made up the forces that fought and won the Civil war. It may truthfully be said that the war was won by an army of school* boys. The younger generation probably Is not aware of the fact that nearly a million of those who carried muskets on behalf of the Federal cause were less than sixteen years of age when they en­ listed. Statistics show that there were exactly r 844,881 boys under that age in the Federal army. ̂ There were 1,151,488 under eighteen years of age, '1' and of the total enlistments of 2,778,309 there were 2,159,798 under twenty-one years of age. Not only were the great majority of privates less than twenty-one years of age, but the records show that companies, regiments and brigades were com­ manded literally by schoolboys. At the close of the war, it is said, it was the exception to find'a brigade or division commander who was more than thirty years old. Brig. Glen. John L. Clem is generally credited with being the youngest soldier on record. He was born in Newark, O., August 13, 1851. He was not 11| quite ten years old when he entered the volunteer service as a drummer at the beginning of the war. • :r Two years later, when he was still not quite twelve ' years old, he was regularly enlisted and took his place in the ranks. He was made a sergeant for fe bravery displayed in the battle of Chickamauga /St served until the close of the war. He returned gS § to school when the war ended and graduated from the Newark high school. In 1871 he was apppoint- ed a second lieutenant in the regular army and re­ mained in the regular service until 1915, when he was retired with the rank of brigadier general. Among the heroes who were awarded the con- gresional medal of honor for valor shown upon the field of battle there were many who were mere children. A veteran officer of the Federal army, writing in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, recalled some interesting history connected with some of these youthful heroes. The writer gave the follow­ ing account of some of these unusual cases: "Robinson B. Murphy was born May 11, 1848. He enlisted as musician at the beginning of the war and the official statement of the action tor which he gained his congress medal reads: u 'At Atlanta, Ga., July 28, 1864, being orderly to the brigade commander, he voluntarily led two regiments as re-enforcements into line of battle, where he had his horse shot from under him.' "He enlisted August 6,1862, at the age of twelve years, two months and twenty-four days, in the One Hundred Twenty-seventh Illinois Volunteer infantry, and was made orderly to the colonel of the regiment. In January, 1864, he was made or­ derly to Gen. J. A. J. Lightburn, and participated in several hard-fought battles. In the army he was known as 'Bob.' When he performed the wonder­ ful feat that gained him the medal he was only fifteen years old. The circumstances under which young Murphy led two regiments into battle were as follows: "The division in which General Lightburn com­ manded was that day on the extreme right of the army, which was being flanked by the enemy. Young Murphy was sent to the right by his general to find out the situation, and finding that the ene­ my had flanked the right wing and was driving them, he rode on his pony down the line and met General Logan, who commanded that day, and begged him with tears In his eyes for re-enforce­ ments, telling him they were cutting our right all to pieces. The general replied: *1 have ordered re-enforcements from the left, and here they come now, and if you know where they are needed. Bob, show them in.' And that is how he came to lead * the two regiments that day. General Lightburn wrote regarding Bob that he was 'not only brave and faithful, but displayed remarkable judgment for one of his age, as I soon found out. I could depend on him under any circumstances that might arise.' "And here is another very little chap who gained his medal, Orion P. Howe, born December 29, 1848. He enlisted early in the war and was wounded at Vicksburg and three times at Dallas, Ga. His rec­ ord is a brilliant one, and General Sherman tell* the story in a letter of August 8, 1863: M 'Headquarters Fifteenth Army Corp* Cany> on Black River, August 8, 1863. ** 'Hon. E. Stanton, Secretary of War. " 'Sir: I take the liberty of asking, through you, that something be done for a lad named Orion P. Howe of Waukegan, 111., who belongs to the Fifty- fifth Illinois, but at present is home wounded. I think he is too young for West Point, but would be the very thing for a midshipman. When the as­ sault at Vicksburg was at its height, on the 19th of May, and I was In front near the road, which formed my line of attack, this young lad came up to me, wounded and bleeding, with a good, healthy boy's cry: "General Sherman, send some cartridges to Colonel Malmburg; the men are nearly all out." "What's the matter, my boy?" "^they shot me in the leg, sir, but I can go to the hospital. Send die &n.K/ah/r.L.

Just before he disappeared on the hill, he turned and called as loud as he could: "Caliber 464." I have not seen the lad since, and his colonel (Malmburg) on Inquiry gives me the address above, and says he is a bright, intelligent boy, with a fair preliminary education. What arrested my atten­ tion then was--and what renewed my memory of the fact now is--that one so young, carrying a musket-ball through his leg, should have found his way to me on that fatal spot, and delivered his message, not forgetting the very important part pf th$, caliber of his musket, .54, which you know is an Unusual one. Fll warrant that the boy has in him the elements of a man, and I commend him to the government as one worth the fostering care of one of the national Institutions. I am, with're­ spect, * four obedient servant, •"W.T.SHERMAN, 44 'Major General Commanding.* •'When the poet, George H. Boker, learned of the episode of young Howe, he put the story in verse. "John Cook, too, gained a medal of honor when a mere child. He was born in Ohio, August 10, 1847, and enlisted in Battery B, Fourth United States artillery, at the breaking out of the war. He was serving as bugler at Antietam, and certainly did enough to merit his medal. The boy distinguished himself at Antietam and in every fight in which the command was engaged. At Antietam the bat­ tery was knocked to pieces, losing about 50 per cent of the men, killed or wounded. Captain Camp­ bell fell, severely wounded, and young Cook as­ sisted him to the rear, quickly returning to the firing line, where, seeing nearly all the men down and not enough left to man the guns, the little fel­ low unstrapped a pouch of ammunition from the body of a dead gunner who was lying near one of the caissons, ran forward with it and acted as gun- tier until the end of the fight "J. C. Julius Langbeln was a very small boy, indeed, when at the battle of Camden, North Caro­ lina, April 15, 1862, he won his congress medal. The official record states that 'when a drummer boy, he voluntarily and under a heavy fire went to the aid of a wounded officer, procured medical aid for him and aided in carrying him to a place ef safety.' After the battle he was granted a short leave of absence to visit his parents, and what a thrill of happiness the boy must have felt when he handed his mother a commendatory letter from his company commander. "And here is another boy who wears the con­ gress medal of honor, nobly won:; George D. Sid- man, a schoolboy from Michigan, a mere child in years, when he made his great record and won the medal for 'distinguished bravery in battle at Gaines MIIIb, June 27, 1862.' This battle, the sec­ ond of the 'SeVen Days' Battles' before Richmond, was one of the most disastrous battles of the Civil war, wherein Fitz John Porter's Fifth army corps was pitted against the three army corps of Gen­ erals Longstreet, Hill and 'Stonewall' Jackson. "Brig. Gen. Daniel Butterfield's brigade, com­ posed of the Twelfth, Seventeenth and Forty-fourth New York, the Eighty-third Pennsylvania and Six­ teenth Michigan Volunteer infantry regiments, that day occupied the left line of battle in the form of a curve, with the Sixteenth and Eighty-third on the extreme left and resting on the border of Chickahominy swamp. Here the brigade was called upon to resist several desperate charges of the enemy during the day, which, in every instance, re­ sulted in defeat of the attacking forces. "It was in this forlorn hope' rally that Sldman, then a youth of seventeen, serving in the ranks 6f Company C, Sixteenth Michigan, as a private, but borne on the rolls, of his company as a drummer boy, distinguished himself by waving his gun and calling upon his comrades to rally on the colors as he had done, thus setting an example that waa speedily followed by a number of others, and wis­ hing the approbation of Major Welch of his regi­ ment, who was a witness of the heroic act. He was In the front rank of the charge back upon the enemy, and In the almost hand-to-hand conflict that followed fell severely wounded through the left hip by a minnie ball. "On the morning of December 18,1862, while the Fifth corps was drawn up in line of battle on Staf­ ford heights waiting for orders to cross the Rappa- hanock river and enter Fredericksburg, Colonel Stockton, commanding the Third brigade, First division, called upon the Sixteenth Michigan for a volunteer to carry the new brigade flag that had Just reached the command. Sldman, but now par" tially recovered from his wound, sprang from the ranks and begged for this duty. His patriotism and fidelity to duty, well known to Major Welch, now commanding the regiment, won for him the covet­ ed prize, much to the chagrin of several other com­ rades who valiantly offered their services. Lead­ ing his brigade on its famous charge up Marye's heights, in that terrible slaughter under Burnside, he was again wounded, but not so severely as to prevent him from planting the colors within 150 yards of the enemy's line, where they remained for 30 hours. Three days later he proudly bore his flag back across the Rappahanock, marked by a broken shaft and several holes, caused by the ene* my's missiles during the charge. "It was in this battle, Sunday, December 14, 1862, while (he brigade lay all day hugging the ground behind the slight elevation a few yards in front of the enemy, momentarily expecting an attack, that Sldman, with a comrade of his own company, displayed humanity as well as remark­ able valor by running the gauntlet through a rail­ road cut for canteens of water for the sick and wounded comrades who could not be removed from the lines; this at a time, too, when the enemy's sharpshooters were so stationed as to command the ground a considerable distance In the rear of the brigade lines. It was this distinguished service of humanity at Fredericksburg, in the face of a vigilant enemy and with almost certain death star­ ing him in the face, that prompted his officers in recommending him for the medal of honor. The war department, with a full record knowledge of his service from Gaines Mills to Fredericksburg, and for reasons best known to Itself, decided that the medal was earned at the first-named battle, with continuing merit to the end of his military service. "Perhaps the most dangerous duty that a soldier can be engaged in is that of scout. In a book pub­ lished after the war, and called 'Hampton and His Cavalry,' the following definition of a scout is given: "The scouts of the army did not constitute a distinct organization, but suitable men volunteer­ ing for this duty were detailed from the different commands. The position required not only cool­ ness, courage, zeal and intelligence, but special fac­ ulties born in some few men.' "The line of demarcation betweedi a scout and a spy was at times very Ill-defined, for, as the scouts were usually dressed In enemy's uniforms which they had captured, they were by stricf military law subject to the penalty of spies if taken within the enemy's lines, and they were not without pleasant experiences of that sort. ••Undoubtedly one of the most distinguished of this class was Archibald Hamilton Rowand, Jr„ who received the medal because of the indorsement of General Sheridan, who knew and appreciated his great services to the cause. "Rowand was born March 6, 1845, in Philadel­ phia, Pa., and enlisted June 17, 1862,^in Company K, First West Virginia cavalry, and served until August 17, 1865. His services were not only re- markable, but most valuable to the cause. He was one of the most daring and most trusted of Sheri­ dan's scouts. "Once, while scouting for Averlll, he waB cap­ tured, but told such a plausible story to the Con­ federate offices about being a Confederate scout with verbal orders from one distant general to an­ other that he was allowed to depart. The first time he was detailed on scout duty his two companions were shot and killed. On his next trip his com­ rade and his own horse were killed when they were 18 miles inside of the Confederate lines, but Row and managed to dodge the enemy's bullets and get back ulive, vowing at every jump never to go on scout duty again. He soon recovered from his fright, however, and started out on another trip. While with Sheridan he was asked to locate the notorious partisan leader, Maj. Harry Gilmore, and* if possible, effect his capture. "After several days' hard work he found Gilmore stopping in a large country mansion near Moon field, W. Va. This he reported to Sheridan, who sent with him about fifteen scouts under Colonel Young. They dressed In Confederate uniforms and, followed by 300 Federal cavalry at a distance of several miles, to be of assistance In case the true character of the scouts was discovered, they ^arrived near Gllmore's command about daybreak, and Rowand went forward alone and, single-hand­ ed, captured the vldette without a shot being fired. The scouts then entered the family mansion and took Gilmore out of bed and back to Sheridan's headquarters."

Paine? in the Saturday Evening Post It was the rescue of a man overboard in the midst of a storm. This vessel was caught out in it while on convoy duty and her survival was little short of a miracle. The French marines called it the worst blow the Bay of Biscay had seen in eight years. Its violence was that of a hurricane, with a wind velocity approaching a hundred miles an hour, such a storm as would have sorely pounded and damaged a great Atlantic liner. The ship was more or less knocked Into kindling wood, both masts broken Off and rolled out of her, all three boats smashed and carried away, decks gut­ ted, life rails splintered, compartments flooded. The ship was rolling 55 de­ grees, or almpst flat on her side, and when she plunged, more than half the length of her keel was In the air. In the midst of it the steering gear jam­ med and the ship was likely to broach to and founder unless It could be clear­ ed. The chief quartermaster, E. H. Robertson, volunteered for the Job and was presently washed overboard, carried off to leeward on the back of a roaring sea. There was not one chance in a mil­ lion of saving him. He was as good as dead, and vanished. The ship was run­ ning before the storm and a quarter of an hour passed before she could be brought to, a very dangerous maneu­ ver, which again swept her clean. The quartermaster had not gone down, but was visible on the lee bow, swimming with the courage of a man who re­ fuses to surrender to the Inevitable. Lines were thrown to him, but he was unable to reach them. Even if the boats had not been smashed It would have been impossible to launch one. A life raft was shoved over, and it floated toward Robertson so that he could clutch it and hang on. This was merely to prolong his ag­ ony, however, for he could do nothing more to help himself. He had been In the water 17 minutes, buffeted, strang­ led, freezing. The month was Decem­ ber, the temperature of the sea 36 de­ grees. Among those who looked on and pitied the exhausted man who had made such a plucky fight of It was the ship's cook. Joseph Marclo. His realm of pots and pans being wrecked and awash, he turned his attention to this affair of the drowning quartermaster. Knotting a line about his middle and making no fuss about It he jumped in­ to the sea and swam to Robertson, a veritable porpoise of a sea cook with a soul as big as all'outdoors. The ship had some way on her and could not be wholly stopped. It hap­ pened, therefore, that when the cook grabbed the quartermaster they were slowly towed through the seas. The strain was terrific and the rope nearly cut the cook In two, but he clung to his man until \they were fetched alongside and hauled aboard together. The quartermaster was unconscious, and the cook also collapsed on deck, but was thawed out with no serious damage. This Joseph Marclo was promoted to the rating of chief com­ missary steward In recognition of the deed and was recommended for the gold life-saving medal of the navy de­ partment --v..
