Clipping of the Day
From the Freeborn County Standard (Albert Lea, Minnesota), 15 November 1877, page 2:
A million and fifty-five thousand men are reported to be on the military register of the German government. Of this number 398,000 are upon the so-called black list, for not having served, including 190,000 who have left the country to avoid serving. It is estimated that one German in every eight expatriates himself to avoid military service.
