The Swiss did not initiate their mi
litia from some other country. They
invented it for themselves. The whole
heart of the country is put into it
Many of its superior officers may be
innkeepers in Bucerne, Geneva or else
where, but the problems of war are
the occupation of their leisure. Rifle
shooting is the hobby and pastime of
the entire youth of the country-it is
what baseball or football is to us-and
when a rifieman has served his time
in the army he receives his rifle as
present from the state, is proud of it
and takes as much care of it as a
sportsman takes care of his gun.

On her French and German frontiers
Switzerland has seen the gradual con-
centration of large forces of soldiers.
Directly across her frontier are strong
forts, especially Belfort, in France.
Since the beginning of the trouble
the Swiss federal authorities have be-
gun to take precautions. Papers have
published an article stating that in
tine event of war the Swiss in Eu-
rope must return to the army at once,

This Swiss federal army is called mi
litia because the recruits are mustered
in and the expenses are partly paid
by the cantons. The federal govern
ment, however, bears the greater part
of the expense, has entire charge OF
the training and can send the army
into any canton to suppress disorder.
1t escapes being classed as a standing
army because the periods of active
service are short
1t is also true that the cost of the
Swiss army is absurdly small, consider
Ing it's size and efficiency. The per
capita cost of the Swiss army in 1910
was 1925. The American annual ex-
pendfture per capita is about 81. OF
course this large per capita cost of the
Swiss army is due to the fact that
Switzerland maintains a very large
army for its small population o.

have come to the conclusion to wage war

In one word, the situation became lntol-

was called into question. This is the rea-
