- W1TZERLAND Is unique among
nations. 1t has no proper physi-
cal unity, and it's political unity
~ is the unforeseen outcome of
events which occurred more
than six hundred years ago. 1t is
prosperous beyond other Continental
countries and its principal cities are
undefended. Yet today Switzerland
lies a cool oasis of peace in the midst
of burning, glazing desert of war
Because of it's small size and its
lack of seacoast, the Swiss Republic
has never held an important place in
the ranks OF the powers. However,
the little country is one of the oldest
in existence, and has come safely
through more than six centuries of
European conflicts with no lasting in
jury, but considerable increase of ter
ritory. Since the time when the map
Of Europe was adjusted as it was be-
fore the present war the four nations
surrounding Switzerland have all cher
ished hopes of some day adding it to
their territory, but none of them has
dared to try It, Many Swiss fear that
this war will put some nation in a
position to threaten their sacred liber-
ty.
The independence and neutrality of
Switzerland are guaranteed by the
powers of Europe, just as in the case
Of Belgium. It Is her position alone
which has thus far prevented an in
vasion by the kaiser. 1t is too far
from Paris to Switzerland for the use
Of the resent German campaign.
Strictly Neutral.
A German army could march up the
valley Of the Rhine into Switzerland.

AID c ttSs.Ig OF oneness of purpose
Pressure was renewed ON Austria, the
only kingdom which had any claim tco
sovereignty over the Swiss, and i'm
1899 that country recognized the indie
pendence of the Swiss nation
For the next three centuries inter-
nal troubles caused by religious diff
ferences prevented any important
progress. The party which contend
ed for renouncing the authority of the
pope and the separation Of church ana
state was successful, and on March
20, 1898, new league was formed,
which was referred to as THE Hell
veto Republic, one and indivisible~
Since that time the material progress
OF the country has been rapid. New
constitutions were adopted In 1849
