seems as though they can't. They're
always talking about us and poking
fun at our ways, and what are they
themselves? Take old Mr.. Hodges,
for instance. He has that big white
house on the hill, and they say he's
worth ten millions all of it stolen in
dishonest business deals. Then
there's Mrs. Jetley, down by the
shore. They say her husband married
her at the point of a pistol. l don't

Mrs. Alfred Perkins Her husband
made his fortune in OIL When they
built here started to be friendly with
them, not knowing that they were as
bad as the rest. Young Tom Perkins
seemed kind of sweet on Milly Watts,
the daughter of our expressman.
They used to stroll along the shore
together. l used to hire Milly some
times to clean up for me; the Wattses
didn't have so much money in those
days, when the summer people were
just beginning to settle here.
well, of course everybody in Glen
Cove wondered what there could be
between Tom Perkins and Milly. 1t
stands to reason a rich mans son
isn't meaning very much when he
goes round with poor girl like Milly.
Folks used to talk about it, as they
will, you know, but I'm no gossip and
nobody ever heard me say an unkind
word about anybody.
when fall came, the Perkins de-
parted for New York, taking Tom
with them. After that 'Milly sort of
pindled. Tom Perkins used to write
to her every day or two, and didn't
like handing her those letters. 1t
seemed to me it was my duty to tear
'em up, only the governments mighty
hard to deal with if they catch you
interfering with the mails. But natur-
ally felt my responsibility.
81 put it fairly to the girl one day.
'Milly,' l said, folks are saying that
there's more between you and Tom
Perkins than you've been giving out.

On her French and German frontiers
Switzerland has seen the gradual con-

Directly across her frontier are strong
forts, especially Belfort, in France.
Since the beginning Of the trouble

published an article stating that In
the event Of war the Swiss in En-
rope must return to the army at once,
while in the second zone Of coun-
tries, including America and other con-
tinents where the Swiss are liable to

This Swiss federal army is called mi

BY the cantons. The federal govern

of the expense, has entire charge OF
the training and can send the army
into any cantor to suppress disorder.
It escapes being classed as q 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 its size and efficiency. The per
capita cost Of the Swiss army In 1910
was $2.25 The American annual ex-
penditure per capita is about 81. OF
course this large per capita cost Of the
Swiss army is due to the fact that

came in.

AAEATED among her mountains,
"a holding tight to the territory
MAT which the bravery of the semi
mythical Tell and his followers
won from Austrian rule six centuries
ago, Switzerland finds in her ringing
around by strong military powers both
a menace and protection. ANY one Of
the great powers of Europe whose ter
ritory is contiguous to switzerland
Germany, Austria, Italy and France
could invade her soil, as Germany was
reported to have done in the early
stages OF the great European war, and
overwhelm her by sheer force Of num-
bers. if the Swiss showed resentment
of the violation of their territory.
On the other hand, the mutual rivalry
Of the powers has been SwitZerland's
strongest guarantee Of Independence in
the past. None of the warlike neigh
borS could afford to see the buffer state
in the hands OF one of it's rivals, and
therefore the Integrity OF Switzerland
has been insured by international guar
antees. The rupture Of these by the
~eXlgencieS of wal meant the raising
Of new questions for Switzerland and

to defend their own home when need
