that Germany win not undertake to
send an army over this route.
While Switzerland is maintaining a
strict neutrality and hopes to avoid
any part In the hostilities, public senti-
ment probably favors the allies. In
Il OF the "a cantons German and
French are spoken by about equal
numbers. while in one southern canton
Italian IL the chief language. All three
are used in the federal parliament and
proclamations and laws are published
In them. But the Inhabitants are
Swiss before anything else. and any
attempt to violate the neutrality Of
the country will meet with instant re-
sistance.
Although there is q provision In the
Swiss constitution prohibiting a stand
ing army, the country actually has
large and most efficient body Of sol
diers. 1t numbers we'll over two hun
dred thousand men. Its equipment Is
the best. Although nominally a militia
body because Of the constitutional pro-
vision, It Is actually federal army.
These soldiers do not serve contin-
uously and there Is no such thing as
an enlistment for a term Of years.
Instead, all male citizens fetween flIed
ages are members OF the militia and
serve for short periods at stated In
tervals. In this way every man In
the country is made good soldier
without seriously interfering with his
occupation. A powerful fighting force
can be put In the field in few days.
Another advantage of the system Is
the low cost. By keeping only small
force in active service the Swiss main
tain what is generally regarded as q
thoroughly satisfactory military force
for the low rate Of about twelve francs
per capita per annum. When the small
population is considered this appears
remarkable.

safe Just now. Her greatest danger

Germany should win.
How Republic Was Formed.
1t was the house of Hapsburg. whose
troubles started the terrible conflict
now raging, which was directly re.
sponsible for the foundling OF tho
Helvetian Republic. The Hapsburgs
we're family whose power was rapid
ly growing By the middle OF the thir-
teenth century they were in control OF
Austrian politics. They were large
land owners In the region which 10
now the heart OF Switzerland, and they
claimed feudal rights over the inhab-
itants. These mountaineers refused
to submit to Hapsburg rule. On Au-
gust I, 1891, the men Of the three
forest cantons of Ur. Schwyz and
Unterwalden met and formed the 'Ev-
erlasting League" for the purpose OF
resisting the Hapsburgs. That house
attempted to make war on the MEM
bers of the alliance, but was complete
ly routed In one battle a few weeks
after the compact had been made.
The three cantons were aided BY
four adjoining districts In their first
fight. From that time on other can
tons and divisions Joined with the orig
inal ones under the terms Of the
Everlasting league. The main occupa-
ton Of this organization for the next
two centuries was getting rid OF the
Hapsburg and Austrian influences.
Rights as land owners were recog-
nized, but any feudal claims were
calmly ingnored. and were at no time
enforced successfully. In 1474 tho
Hapsburgs formally gave up their
claims.
At that time there was q decided
lack of unity in the federation. due to
the wide differences between its MEM
bers. It was regarded by them as .

There was d wall of dismay and sor-
row among the thousands who find
Coney Island such an ailuring place to
spend the long hours Of the summer
evenings when It became known that
Mayor Mitchell has decided to make
the SIMMER resort even cleaner than
its own ocean-swept sands. His first
move in that direction was to revoke
the licenses of the only two a1inight
licenses in the resort-thase of the
villa Penza and the Mardi Gras ho-
tells. 3ss.
No more will the thirsty individual
find solace and refreshment in spirit
uous drinks after o'clock in the
morning, for ConeytwiH be dry" aft
er that hour. ReFoking the licenses
does not prevent the sale of such
thirst quenching drinks as buttermilk,
grapejuice and other soft" beverages,
but after o'clock that famous "Coney
Island collar" will not be seen in the
shallow glasses in any places in the
resort.
Mayor Mitchell Took this action att
er receiving reports from personal re-
personalities who investigated eond;.
lions after o'clock and until sunrise.
In announcing his decision Mayor
Mitchell made the following explana-
ton:
