In some cantons this unfor- timate generation was in height an inch below the recniits of preceding years, and in it the exemp- tions for defective physique rose from the normal six per cent to sixteen per cent. When each generation is decimated or destroyed in turn, a race can be injured beyond recovery, but it more frequently happens that the result is the annihilation of an entire class, as in the case of the German gentry in the Thirty Years' War. Deso- lation of wide districts often result...ed from the plagues and famines which followed the armies in old days, but deaths from these causes fall most heavily on the weaker part of the population. The loss of valuable breeding stock is far more serious when wars are fought with volunteer armies of picked men than with conscript armies, because in the latter cases the loss is more evenly spread over the whole nation. Before England resorted in the present war to universal conscription the in- jury to her more desirable and patriotic classes was much more pronounced than in Germany, where all types and ranks are called to arms.
