.SWITzE2LAND'S
 CITIZEN SOLDIERY
United States May Follow
 Swiss Army Methods,

@ TOW that there Is so much agi- HAH tation for an enlarged and
 stronger national defense there
 is special interest in m ex- animation of the army of Switzerland, for here is a "cltlzcnry trained and ac- customed to arms such as Washington advised for the United States and an Idea which has been advocated by President Wilson.
 On Aug. 8, 1914, forty-eight hours after, the Swiss federal council had is- sued orders for the mobilization of the entire army of Switzerland, 3OO0OO men stood at thcE appointed posts, ready to defend the neutrality of their country. The accomplishment of this feat won the admiration of even the much engaged belIgerent nations, for 1t furnished eloquent proof of Swiss military discipline and efficiency.
 Switzerland, with a population of 3.SOO,OOO, maintains the largest armed forced proportlonateIy of all European lands. France comes second, Germany and Sweden next. The per capita cost is relatively small because of a rational military system which is both economic and democratic
 The army of the Swiss confederation Is a citizen army. Every Swiss citizen Is liable to military service from his twentieth to his forty-cIghth year. The federal forces consist of three divisions -i e., the so called Ouszug, the land wehr and the lundsturm. To the aus zug, or elite, belong the young men up to tho age of thlrty-twO; the landwehrr or first reserve. comprises the soldiers from thivty-thTce to forty years of age, and in the l0udsturm, or second re serve, are incorporated the men from forty-one to forty-cight yeurs of age.
 No swiss citizen is excused from military duty unless he is physically unfit or under the stipulated height of five feet one and Oue-half inches. Citi- zcns who are lublc to do military sery- lee and who are prevented from full

 Every soldier Is, moreover, obliged to do a certain amount of rifle practice each year, and a record of his capacity in this line Is carefully kept
 It has been generally admitted by military experts that Switzerland, among the nations Of sryond rank, pos sesses the strongest auI best drilled army-a veritGble model uf democratic organization. The ra that a small neutral nation like O..# iS obliged to maintain such an elaborate military system does not iujir.to in the least that the people are advocates for mill tarism. On the contr,.y. Switzerland is ever active in the spreading of peace propaganda, but the prcsCut war has already proved tho immense value of her military system in safeguarding her territory from invasion and a viO- latiOn of her neutrality.

London-The long expected Austro-
German drive through the Balkans to
Constantinople began today, when Teu-
tonic hordes swept across the Save,
Danuge and Drina rivers into Serbia.
Official announcement of this action
was followed by optimistic predictions
on Germany's part that the move means
decisive victories for her armies, and a
speedy end of the vast European strug'
gle.
No word came from Sofia as to what
her forces had done, but it was believed
possible that her troops had already en-
tered Serbia in an effort to bottle up
that nation by cutting off her railway
communication with the outside world
This view was strengthened by the
fact that the Greek minister at Sofia
reported several days ago that Bulgaria
would invade Serbia simultaneously
with her Austro-German cohorts.
At any rate, war on Bulgaria, either
through declaration or direct action
within few hours or days is foregone
conclusion.
Bulgaria knows it, and her official
government organ today warned the
populace that the explosion is imminent

VICTORIA is STIRRED
OVER DISCLOSURES
Canadians We're Proud Of the
] Manner In Which United
States Was 0utwitted

Victoria, B. c., Oct. THE sub
marines Iquique and Antafogasta were
purchased in Seattle after the outbreak
of war and were taken away contrary
to international law, and by an Ameri-
can crew, under command of Captain
Smith, supposed to be United States
navy officer.
Victoria is stirred to the depths over
testimony to this effect, disclosed dur
ing the inquiry by Sir Charles David
son, dominion commissioner, into the
purchase of the two vessels by Sir
Richard Mcbride, premier of British
Columbia.
The fact was disclosed both by the
premier, who apparently delighted in
the part he had played in outwitting
the United States government, and by
Captain Logan, the secret agent of the
British Columbia government, in the
matter.
Premier Mcbride, in telling of this,
hastened to add that Smith was not on
the active list during the time he made
the voyage from Seattle and during the
time he stayed at Esquimalt. instruct
ing Canadian seamen in submarine
work.
While no decision was given by Sir
Charles Davidson, it is generally un.
derstood that a verdict, freeing the
prime minister from all suggestion of
graft in connection with the purchase
of the submarines, will be rendered.

"We obtained firm foOthold on the
eastern bank of the Drina, and the

The invasion along three river fronts
indicates that larger forces were con-
centrated on the Serbian frontier than
had been intimated in recent dispatches.
For weeks the Austro-Germans have
been directing artillery at the Serbians
along the south bank of the Danube
near Semendria. Field Marshal Won
Mackensen has been reported in com
mand there, and it has also been re-
ported that second German army had
concentrated along Serbia S western
frontier. This one apparently crossed
the Drina.
The Germans will probably
