WASHINGTON, April 3.--.After

said officially that his long stay in
the exceedingly trying climate of
Vera Cruz has told on his health, and
that he is in great need of a long
rest in a cooler zone.

ARMY OF SWITZERLAND

| Costly Per Capita.
The address of Paul Ritter, the Swiss
minister, before the Lake Mohonk con-
ference Oh international arbitration re-
Gently is Internationally misleading.
Mr.. Ritter cited as Il proof of the bene-
fits Of peace the fact that Switzerland
has no standing army and that the
funds appropriated for educational pur-
military purposes. 1t is true that the
Swiss constitution fOrbids the main
tenance of a standing army, but there
is, nevertheless, Il large federal army
considering the small populatiOn-larg-
er than our regular army and militia
combined. (Swiss army in 1911, 211..
561. not including the auxiliary or non
combatant troops, and the last reserve
of men between the ages of %fOrty-One
and forty-eight. United States army
and militia in 1912, 1906. including
all noncombatant troops and the coast
artillery. The United States has no

in. and the expenses are partly paid by
the cantOns. The federal government.
however. bears the greater part of the
expense. has entire charge of the train
ing and car send the army into any
canton to suppress disorder. 1t es-
capes being classed as n standing army
because the periods of active service
are so short that the training is not
continuous.
1t is also true that the cost of the
Swiss army Is absurdly small consid-
ering. its size and efficiency, but this Is
not indicated by the comparison which
Mr.. Ritter makes with the expendi-
lures for education. In the United
States the public schools alone cost
four and one-half times as much rs the
army, and yet our army costs ten times
as much as the Swiss army does. On
the other hand the per capita cost of
the Swiss army in 1910 was 1926.
while our annual expenditure per cap
ita is about 81. OF course this large
per capita cost Of the Swiss army Is
due to the fac that Switzerland main
tains n very large army for its small
population. That the cost is rs small
as 1t is cannot be cited as n benefit of
peace, for it is wholly due to a rational
military system. a system that is not
only far more economical than ours,
but is more democratic.

when the Cub backstop came to bat
in the fifth he yelled for Matty to duck
as soon as he threw the ball if he
wanted to keep on pitching.

for he said in verse 0 that. wherever
in all the world the gospel should be
preached. this that she hath done shall
be spoken of for a memorial of her.
This was real worship on the part OF
Mary, heart alteration, and it vas very
costly on her part and very precious

saying of David in II Sam. xiv, "a.
