~ WITZERLAND is unique among
nations. It has no proper physt-
- cal unity, and its political unity
is the unforeseen outcome of
events which occurred more
than six hundred years ago. 1t is
beyond other Continental
countries. and it's principal cities are
un%defended. Yet today Switzerland
lies a cool oasis of peace in the midst
of a burning, glaring 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 safety
through more than six centuries OIL
European conflicts with no lasting in
Jury. but considerable increase of ter
ritory. Since the time when the mar
of Europe was adjusted as 1T was be-
fore the present wal the four nations
surrounding Switzerland have all cher
ished hopes of some day adding 1t to
their territory, but none OF them has
dared to try it. Many Swiss fear that
this wal will put some nation in a
position to threaten their sacred hber-
ty.
The independence and neutrality OF
Switzerland are guaranteed by the
powers of Europe, just as in the case
of Belgium. 1t is her position alone
which has thus far prevented an in
vasion by the kaiser. 1t is too fal
from Paris to Switzerland for the use
of the resent German campaign.

4th Class Postmasters' Examinations.

would be entered at a point where her
defenses are not strong. This way
Is three times as far to Paris as
through Belgium. Hence Belgium suf-
fers. 1t is the opinion of Swiss officers
that Germany will 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
81 of the % cantons German and
French are spoken by about equal
numbers, while in one southern canton
Italian is 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 viii meet with instant re-
sistance.
Although there is a provision in the
Swiss constitution prohibiting a stand
ing army, the country actually has q
large and most efficient body of sol
diers. It numbers well over two hun
dred thousand men. Its equipment is
the best. Although nominally a militia
body because of the constitutional pro-
vision, 1t is actually a 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 between fixed
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 a good soldier
without seriously interfering with his
occupation. A powerful fighting forc'
can be put in the field in a few days

Protest Against
Burning to Destroy
Citrus Canker

| Miami, July ga new organi-
cation formed Tuesday night at a
meeting in Silver Palm has for its
purpose the idea of protesting to the
State Plant Board against the ex-
| tensive use of the fire wagon and the
burning of citrus trees in the citrus
/ canker eradication work. The mem
bers of the new organization believe
that the fire treatment has not prov
! en- successful and that the State
Plant Board should allow expert
ments to be carried on in an effort
to find some treatment that will
stop the disease.
The officers of the organization
formed are H. H. Colby, president;
T. Hutton, vice president, and L.
Greutzbach, secretary. The name of
the organization is the East Coast

Growers from all over our Sec
tion attended the meeting" said
William Anderson of Silver Palm
this morning. 1T was a representa-
/ tive gathering and growers from
Homestead, Goulds. Redlands,
Princeton and Silver Palm were
present. We talked over the citrus
canker proposition, and although we
will not fight the State Plant Board,
still we believe that the fire treat
ment has not been success and
that the board should permit exper-
iments to be carried on in the groves
in an effort to find some way to
eradicate the disease. 1t is our hope
to make the new organization so
strong that we will be able to pro-
test successfully to the Plant Board
over the use OF the fire wagon and
the burning of trees.
The discovery of remedy for the
citrus canker is the desire of the
State Plant Board which, at re-
cent meeting decided to hire an en-
tomologist for this section If the
right man can be found, the patho-
logist to be paid out of funds the
disbursement of which is in the
hands of the State officials. Prior
to this action by the board, citrus
growers of Dade county decided to
contribute $4,000 towards the en-
ployment of pathologist, but the
State board agreed to hire such Of

The Dade County Growers and
Truckers association has repeatedly
gone on record as favoring the ac-
tion taken by the State Plant Board
but many growers object to the use
of the fire wagon. and hope that
some means may be discovered
whereby the canker may be eradi-
Gated without burning the trees.

fects in the record of the trial in
which he was convicted.
The case of Roland Molineaux,
which is still well remembered, diff
fered from the cases already cited
in that the evidence against the ac-
eused was wholly circumstantial
Young Molineaux, a member of a
wealthy and socially prominent
family in Brooklyn, was charged
with having brought about the
death of Mrs. Adams by sending her
cyanide in the guise of a headache
cure. Despite the efforts of eminent
legal counsel the young man was
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree and sentenced to the death
penalty. After he had spent many
months in the death house at Sing
Sing and had been saved from the
death chair by eleventh hour re-
prieves On several occasions, Molin-
eauX was granted a new trial by
the higher courts. After another
long legal battle the accused was
declared innocent and set free. But
he never recovered from the terrible
ordeal through which he had pass
ed and finally became mental
wreck.
