TOLD IN PINE BLUFF
X Resident Known to all Our Read-
 CTS Relates an Experience.

Readers of the Graphic have been told again and again of the merits of that reliable, time-proven kidney remedy-Doan's Kidney Pills. The experience told are not those of un- known persons, living far away. The cases are Pine Bluff cases, told by Pine Bluff people.
 Mrs. J. IF. Tucker, 1917 E. Seventh street, Pine Bluff, Ark, says: "Some years ago, l had severe attack of malaria and for some time I suffered from weak kidneys. My back gave out, so that when l was lying or sit ting down, l had to have help to get up. My back pained me constantly and l had dizzy spells with specks in front of my eyes. My ankles and face was swollen badly and the kidney secre+ions were unnatural. When l heard of Doan's Kidney Pills, l decided to try them. The first box relieved me and after I had used three boxes, l was in good shape. All the ailments were greatly reliever. My back was strengthened and my kid neys began acting as they should"
 Price soc, at all /dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Tucker had. Foster-M -Milburn Co.,, props, Bufaflo N. Y.

 The Emperor William honored the Swiss with his presence at the manoeuvers in 1912 and got many sus gestions for his own army. In these manoeuvers six hundred moun- talneers attacked an imaginery enemy occupying the Eggishorn, a mountain 9,G25 feet above the sea lever in height. The batAalion descended rom the Jungfraujoch, 11,140 feet high, where they had camped over night in the snow, executed forced Gut of the ranks from exhaustatfon.
 in the present company of soldiers from Fort Savatan carried artillery to the greatest height in the noun tains yet recorded in any army. In full uniforms they dragged their max inns and mitrailleuses to the siMmit 3f the Dept-du-Midi, 10,695 feet high. In the full portion of the climb, the men were obliged to cut footholds iii tho ice. The artillery practice, in cluding an attack on mountain pass occupied by the ''enemy' was success fully carried out. Eevery man was present at the roll call when the eX- mrition was over.
 1 While Switzerland in the north is rro~ German in sympathy, the nation realizes that their most probable caemy, that is. the one with whom t,,ere is most likelihood of trouble, IS Germany. A popular picture post calc in Switzerland shows supposed l incident of the Emperor's inspection ol the manoeuvers two years ago. It is labelled "The Kaiser in the Land of the Best Shots." The Emperor, in iul war accoutrement, is shown looking at a simple Swiss soldier ho;ding rifle. In the distance is a target, in which the soldier has just
 uade a bulls eye.
 "So, my son. says William, "there are a hundred marksmen like you in i Switzerland. But suppose l come with two hundred Prussians.
 "ln that case, your Majecty," replied the mountain soldier, We must each fire twice."

Should United States Adopt Swiss System, From Weakest to Strong. est of Great Nations With
 $500, O,0OO Soldiers.

Switzerland has never been con- qIered and it has never attempted to conquer any other nation. It's mili- ta!y system is for defense only and military aggression is unthought or. Many times recently public speakers end writers in the United States have praised the Swiss system in be- moaning the unpreparedness of America for war. The Swiss system Is admired because it costs little and keeps the young men of the nation from industry scarcely at all, yet pro- ducss trained body of men which the strongest military power in the world could only attack with the as surance of meeting fearful resist ance and suffering enormous losses
 It is interesting to note that the adoption of the Swiss system would change the United States from the weakest land of the great nations of the earth to the most formidable. Here are the figures. To defend her neutrality Switzerland has now mob- Oliyed 300.000 men. Her population is 3,SO0,000. In the same ratio of army to population the United States would have 7,S00,000 soldiers in time of great need. Even Germany had only 5,000,000 trained men when this great war started; while Russia prob ably had about the same number on whom she could depend without fur ther instructions.
 1t is this sense of the enormous reserve of men, cannon fodder" in the 1Oe,0O0,00 population of the uint- ed States which gives superficial persons a sense of security. Man plus gun equals soldiers, they reason. But as a matter Of fact the trained man is the only one who counts i'll the first six months of a great war.
 How many trained men has the United States today? That is hard question to answer, for our militia, or National Guard, is an uncertain body of varying efficiency. But giving the National Guard all the benefits ot the f;cubt3, both as to numbers and tram lng the regular army of the United States and guard together only num- be, 175,000 men.
 This ia little more than half the forces of Switzerland and less than cne-forty-fourth the army the United states would have if the Swiss sys- fam were adopted. If a major power satfacks us, our present little army co,,ld only die bravely, and useless 1y. .u s;.o of tho country. mobilization in Switzerland is the quickest in the world. 1t took ;,,at Al IS hours for the entire army ot sr1l Oot) to be at their, posts la me s.riv ris nart of August last, when It was Fesred that the French and German s,.. ss .ast violate the neutrality Of the l..5s ss E sstate.
