SWITZERLAND'S
CITIZEN SOLDIERY
United Stales May Follow
Swiss Army Methods.
NOW that there Is so much agi
tation for nn enlarged and
stronger national defense there
Is special Interest In an ex
amination of the aruiy of Switzerland,
for here is a "citizenry trained and ac
customed to arms" such as Washington
advised for the United States and an
Idea which has been advocated by
I'resident Wilson.
On Aug. 3. 11)14, forty-eight hours
after, tlie Swiss federal council had Is
sued orders for the mobilization of the
entire army of Switzerland, 300,000
men stood at their appointed posts,
ready to defend the neutrality of their
country. The accomplishment of this
feat won the admiration of even the
much engaged belligerent nations, for
| It furnished eloquent proof of Swiss
i military discipline and efficiency.
Switzerland, with a population of
, 3,800,000, maintains the largest armed
forced proportionately of all European
lands. Franco comes second, Germany
and Sweden next. The per capita cost
Is relatively small because of a rational
military system which Is both economic
and democratic.
The army of the Swiss confederation
Is a citizen army. Every Swiss citizen
Is liable to military service from his
twentieth to his forty-eighth year. The
federal forces consist of three divisions
—L e., the so called auszug, the laml
wehr and the landsturm. To the aus
zug, or elite, belong the young men up
to the age of thlrt.v-two; the landwehr,
or first reserve, comprises the soldiers
from thirty-three to forty years of age,
and in the landsturm, or secoud re
serve. are Incorporated the men from
forty-one to forty-eight years of age.
No Swiss citizen is excused from
military duty unless ho Is physically
unfit or under the stipulated height of
five feet one and one-half Inches. Citi

Military iustruction is imparted at
the expen >i" i!ie Swiss confederation
by a spec instruction corps. aided by
the officers ' f the higher and lower
ranks. The year's recruits are imme
diately sen' to one of the schools for
recruits est 0 '!:-'ied in different cities
throughout tls >uutry. Those Intend
ed for the !nfaii;-y receive a prelimi

days. Held and : utaln artillerymen

days and arabul. • » men sixty days.
Since the year i .7. when n new mili

Swiss army, bot•< ii _• cavalry and all
the forccs of the a; • s have to at

ing eleven days.
There are special < ;cs and train
ing for those deslro • advancing to
a higher grade. Ti- is a central mil
itary college at Th ' ir the Instruc
tion of oUlcers of the general staff and
another for regimental officers. In
fantry Instructors receive their train
ing In a school of that description at
Basel, and there are. furthermore,
courses for shooting 'especially for of
ficers). also for ambulance work, etc.
Every soldier Is, moreover, obliged
to do a certain amount of rifle practice
each year, and a record of his capacity
In this line is carefully kept.
It has been generaiiy admitted by
military experts tliri Switzerland,
among the nations of second rank, pos
sesses the strongest and best drilled
army—a veritable mode! of democratic
organization. The fa t that a small
neutral nation like O Is Is obliged to
maintain such an elaborate military
system does not luJi-i te in the least
that the people are adv- rates for mili
tarism. On the contr,.:y. Switzerland
Is over active in the spiv ' ling of peace
propaganda, but the pre cut war has
already proved tb-> immense value of
her military system In safeguarding
her territory from invasion and a vio
lation of her neutrality.

"I didn't know," Interrupted Mrs.
Holt, "that Mandy would make a fuss
every time there was a bit o' dirt left
on a rag carpet"
"Air you statin' this case or 1?" ask
ed Farmer Holt severely.
"Look a-here," said Mr. Corey, bris
tling. "What do yoa people mean by
comln' yere to Interfere between man
aud wife?"
"Ain't you got nothln' better to do
than that?' asked Mrs. Corey tempes
tuously.
"We Jlst wanted to apologize for
what we done In brlngln' you two to
gether. seeli"' that you both made a
mistake In puttln' on double harness."
"Who's made a mistakeV" growled
Corey.
"There hasn't been any mistake,"
cried his wife.
Mrs. Holt was so indignant at this
denial of what bad been poured into
her ears and her husband's ears for so
lung a time that she o[>encd up the de
bate on a high key. Mr. Corey endeav
oring to drown her words with a high
er one. l'or a time the man threw lu
uu occasional remark, but, finding them
selves no match for the women, drop
ped out, their utterances sounding like
distant thunder muttering In a violent
storm.
Finally Farmer Corey deserted, leav
ing his wife to carry on the fight nlone.
She then began a retreat, turning here
and there to fire a parting shot Mrs.
Ci rev followed . her on to the porch,
while John went out the back door to
seek quiet lu the bnrn.
| The tempest was stilled when Mrs.
j Holt reached the gate nnd was not re
sumed. No wore reproaches were vis
ited on Holt by Corey or on Mrs. Holt
by Mrs. Corey. There was no Inter
course between the families for six
months. Then one day Mrs. Holt sent
a mysterious looking box to Mrs. Corey,
it was not returned, but a note of
thanks came to the donor, with nn
exprersed desire that the past might
be forgotten. WIthlu a few weeks from
that time the stork visited the Coreys.
Sir. and Mrs. nolt scut the baby a sli

they returned with the hnppy parents

"It beats all," said Corey to Holt,
"how a little chunk of flesh like that
will make a lot o' other things seem so
little you can't B«e 'em."
"Reckon you'll find the chunk o' flesh
not so little as yon think," replied
Farmer Holt
"I want to thank yon, Mr. nolt, for

"Don't mention It"
Meanwhile Mrs. Holt was being
