Furthermore, the one-year volunteer system takes away just those men who, with their higher intelligence and culture, might most effectually oppose the socialistic propaganda that goes on in the ranks, and who might in a certain sense exert an enlightening influence on those around them.
It was voted that we have scout destroyers and sea-going submarines in numbers sufficient to balance the capital fleet. It was voted that we have an aerial fleet second to none in the world. It was voted that we have a standing army of 200,000 men with 45,000 officers, backed by a national force of citizens trained in arms under a universal and obligatory one-year military system.
In 1985 RUSTIC Farm was sold to the present owners Shyam and Ujwala Achrekar. I had intended to stay with them for a month and learn about farming first-hand. Unfortunately due to some personal difficulties they could not have me visit them. It is one of the few regrets I had during my one-year sabbatical.
"A one-year lease is not desirable; Loustalot was my sole client, and I've lost him for good." "Why despair, John? I've a notion that if you give Don Mike fifty thousand dollars to confirm Loustalot in the lease, he will forget his enmity and agree to the lease. That would, at least, prevent a law-suit." Parker's face brightened. "I might do that," he assented.
The deputy sergeant-major was away at the big parade-ground with the pioneers. That was half-an-hour's distance. Trautvetter, where was Trautvetter? At last he discovered him in the canteen. "Trautvetter, you must lend me a hundred marks!" said the sergeant-major breathlessly. "Must?" asked the one-year volunteer sarcastically. "Must? Not if I know it!"
At last he fell back on the cash-box of the battery. From time to time he replaced a portion of what he had taken, but the deficit nevertheless became greater and greater. One morning, in the beginning of August, Wegstetten said to him: "Sergeant Heppner, have the one-year volunteers paid their board-money?" "Yes, sir." "All right. Then get your cash-box ready for settling up accounts.
Leichhardt was born in Beskow, near Berlin, and studied in Berlin. Through a neglect, he was excluded from the one-year military service, and thereby induced to escape from the three-yearly service. The consequence was, that he was pursued as a deserter and sentenced IN CONTUMACIAM.
To be sure, the present calling of the Fottner lad was not pleasing to God; but he himself liked it. The food was not bad, and the one-year volunteers willingly treated the big fellow to a glass of beer when he introduced himself as fellow-student, boasting that he had not been left behind when his former confratres had had a little convivial matin celebration.
He could scarcely believe that any one could be so generous. But he could see that the one-year volunteer was in earnest, not simply making fun of him. "Yes, I promise you, Trautvetter," he said firmly. "I will not play any more." And for the moment he meant what he said; he felt that this was the right minute for making good resolutions and turning over a new leaf.
Some days later Wegstetten asked him: "How is the one-year volunteer Trautvetter behaving? I have been quite pleased with him on duty these last few days." And Heppner answered: "He has been much more steady, sir; there has been no fault to find with him." The commander of the battery nodded, well pleased. "You see, sergeant," he said, "my plan has been a success.
