FOR CELEBRATION Of
THE treaty OF CLIENT

Paris, Sept. est seems likely that
the city of Client, as well as the i'm
portant British and American commit
tee established for the purpose, will
join actively in the celebration of the
Century of the Treaty of Client, signed
December "a, 1914, and of the Hum
bred Years Peace among English
speaking people.
The Belgian contribution Is likely to
take the form of a restoration of the
room in the old Carthusian convent
where the treaty was signed, and of
the fine old banqueting hall in the
Hotel de Vile, where the municipality
of Client entertained the British and
American plenipotentiaries after the
conclusion of the treaty nearly 100
years ago, which concluded the war be-
tween America and England.

American committee on international

GROWING Of MEDICAL
PLANTS IN ENGLAND

London, Sept. 2S.-The growing of
peppermint, lavender, camomile and
other medicinal plants, a little known,
but valuable English industry has been
hard hit by the recent storms and
floods which have devastated the low
lying counties of England The Eng
fish oils of peppermint and lavender
are exported to all parts of the world
where they bring larger prices than
other varieties because of the peculiar
delicacy of their flavors and aromas.
The dry weather In the late spring
was unfavorable for planting, and the
cold summer with it's heavy rainfall
ruined the harvest. AS result very
little oil will be distilled, and dealers
have been warned to beware of the
adulteration which INSCRIPTIONS eX-
porters may resort to in an attempt to
supply the demand for the English oils.

EASTER B0NNETS

Effort Made to Do Away

Paris. Sept. 2s.--A strong effort is
being made here by creators of the

variable Easter and have France take
the lead in fixing a date in the spring
when this importantest femininity- day

KA|SER'S VISIT
TO SWITZERLAND
IS A REVELATION
German Ruler Is Surprised
at the Efficiency Of the
Army Of tho Little Re-
public.
BY Karl n. Won Wiegand.

tBerlln correspondent or the United
Press)
Zurich. Switzerland, Sept 2S.-The
kaiser has come and gone. He saw
and was convinced. For years he has
wanted to see the Republican Militia
Army" of Switzerland Finally he
frankly said ne would like to be in
vited and the Swiss could hardly do
otherwise than invite him. He came
the first crowned head to pay
Switzerland an official visit. The
Swiss are proud of it, excepting per-
haps some socialists.
The kaiser quickly perceived the eff
fectiveness and efficiency of the who'll
ly citizen army OF Switzerland With
his usual frankness he spoke words
of praise which fell pleasantly even
upon Swiss ears, coming as they did
from the head of the greatest army in
the world.
His majesty saw an army organized
upon basis which costs 100000 a
year as against $3.50, 100000 which he
pays for his own military and sea
forces In the event Of war, Switzer-
land would muster about $4,000
troops. 1t Is estimated that 100000
youths of about 16. all excellent marks
men. would also volunteer and that
all told. Switzerland would have more
than 300 900 men to defend their coun-
try.
Military training in Switzerland be-
gins with the sixteenth year. but is
voluntary until 20 is reached Every
town has its cadet corps" Every

belong to "schuetzen vereins.' When
most boys are still riding hobby horses
the Swiss boy is already being taught
which Is the business end Of gun
and that you never should look into
that end.
There is no standing army in Swift
zerland. There are. however. several
thousand permanent officers. commits
stoned and non commissioned, who are
the paid instructors" The number
of men that those instructors constant
ly have under training, suffices for all
peace purposes.
At the age OF 20 every Swiss begins
military duty. In the infantry he is
trained SIS days the first time. IL he
enters are artillery. IS days and with
the cavalry 30 days. He is then dis
missed and between that time and his
thirty-second year he serves n days
in IL periods Of days each-in the
cavalry eight periods OF II days each
The Swiss averages about $50 days
actual service and training up to his
forty eighth year. when military serv-
ice Is no longer required of him.
Switzerland can mobilize its army in
less time than any other nation. This
IL made possible by the fact that every
man who has served and 10 subject to
call, takes his uniform. rifle and
equipment home with him. Hence the
Swiss army Is constantly under arms.
At specified times the equipment IL in
