THE CLOSING DAYS
OF SEASONS GAMES
By George R. Holmes.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondence
New York, Sept. 4.-The sphere
that comes out of the eastrn horizon
mornings is beginning to assume
slightly oval form, and those VINO
have been speculating as to Ty CooD 5
chances of finishing with 400 aver
age are beginning to wonder now
Harvard is going to get along with
out Charley Brickley. The well
known football season which has been
on its way for a year is almost here.
The lid will be officially pried oil
two weeks from today when Coach
Kellv's Carlisle Indian bucks collide
with Albright at Carlisle.
A week later the big universities
of the East and West swing into ac-
ton and the season will be on In full.
Little Dartmouth, which proved
Tartar for the big fellows last sea
son, starts off with the Massachu-
eetts Aggies ON ner home lot; Colby
stacks up against Harvard the same
day; Penn State takes on Westmln-
ster; Princeton lines up with George
town, Syracuse with Hobart, the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania with the Uni
versity of West Virginia and the Yale
crowd mixes with the University of
Maine at New Haven.
The absence of any big intersection
al combat this season has detracted a
lot from the interest. Last season
fans in the East and West had the
Yale Notre Dame and the Harvard
Michigan battles to look forward to,
but the eastern schedule makers
passed up the teams from the middle
district and for the most part the
games will be local quarrels. About
the nearest things to clashes between
the East and West are the Notre
Dame-A Army game, November 6, and
the Michigan Pennsylvania battle a
week later, November 13.
What Fasteners cali their first
really big game comes November g.,
when Princeton meets Harvard at
Princeton Some other good games
are On the docket for the same after
noon, with Yale meeting Brown at
New Haven, Dartmouth meeting the
University of Pennsylvania at Bos-
ton, Ohio meeting Indiana at Colum-
bus, Purdue meeting Iowa at La
fayette, Michigan meeting Cornell at
Ann Arbor and Oregon mixing with
Washington on the Pacific coast.
A week later comes the Yale
Princeton battle. Brown meets Har-
ward on the same day, Michigan and
Imperial Valley press., 1915-09-06

Pennsylvania come together, Cornell
plays Washington and jefferson, IL
linois meets Wisconsin, and Kansas
and Nebraska clash.
The climax comes Z days later,
when the historic Yale Harvard game,
with all the accompanying ceremonies,
is played at Cambridge. Yale, with
Brickley gone from the Crimson
ranks, has high hopes of avenging
last years defeat.
Two games which will be every bit
as bitterly fought are scheduled for
the Middle West the same day-the
Purdue Indiana scrap, and Coach A.
A. Stages Maroons' battle with Hi
nois.
The season really comes to a close
5 days later, on Thanksgiving day,
but the eyes of the sporting world
will hardly turn from the gridiron
until Uncle Sam has settled his pri-
vate little imbroglio-the Army Navy
scrap-schedule for the Polo
Grounds the following Sunday. Notre
Dame plays Rice Institute at Houston,
Tex, the same day and from then
en- the season dribbles away until
December 4, when the University of
Southern California plays the only
game in the country against Whittier
at Los Angeles.

The army is in the hands of the
people. The personal equipment of
every man is in his own hands and
kept in his own house; and the whole
army system is absolutely democratic.
The army works only long enough
to learn its job-and only the essen

Every Swiss citizen owes military
service from the beginning of the year
in which he attains the age of 20
years to the end of the year when
he reaches the age of AZ. By the law
of 1907, the Swiss army was divided
into 3 classes.
The first is the Auszug, or Elite
(men from 20 to 32); the second, the
Landwehr (men between 33 and 400,
and the third the Landsturm or re
serve omen between Al and 4S). On
the first Of January, 1907, the Swiss
army consisted of the following:
The Elite had 1854, the Land
wehr 90, ,l62-making total of 232,
677 men between the ages of 20 and
A years. To this must be added A.
294 men in the armed Landsturm (45
to50 years of age) and 262,138 auXil'
iary troops (pioneers, workmen II
military establishments, medical, com
missariat and transport departments
police, firemen, clerks and men at &
military depot.
The total of the Landsturm ant
the auxiliary services is thus 3O6,
432, so that the grand total of thu
effective army in 1907 (the last dat
for which detailed figures are avail
able) was 539,109 men. 1t is nov
probably something over 10 per cen
greater than it was in 1907.
Imperial Valley press., 1915-09-06

If the United States government
had adopted the Swiss army system
it would be possible for us in days
to put into the field at least 10000,
600 effectively armed and trained
men.
The little mountain republic can
mobilize an army corps in 3 days
ready in every particular of organiza
ton, equipment, munitions and trans
port, to march against the enemy, and
they can mobilize such corps at one
and the same time.
Just how long it would take to con
centrate in one place 10000 of oul
regulars with all their baggage anC
transport, or how long to assemble
for such commands of regulars anC
militia, is indicated by the experience
in the mobilization on the Mexican
border, when it took about 3 week
to get together small force of regu
lars. With militia included, it woul,
take nearer to 8 months.
The cost of maintaining an Ameri
can soldier is just 2S times the cos
of maintaining a Swiss soldier, am
the effectiveness of the America
militiaman is probably about one
twentieth as great as the Swiss mi
litiaman.
In Switzerland there is no sue
thing as a military caste; there is l

Imperial Valley press., 1915-09-06

Thus little Switzerland, at one
twenty eighth the cost per soldier
compared with us, is able to mobilize
one sixth of her total population in
stantly for defense, and this without
a standing army, Great
ing a military caste, or undergoing
any of the other disadvantages OF
militarism.
Her mobilization in the face of a
possible invasion at the outbreak of
the European war was more rapid
even than that of Germany.
How is she able to do this? What
is the secret of Switzerland's success
in being adequately prepared, with
out any of the dangers of militar-
ism? What happens to the Swiss boy
when he goes into the army? What
is the system of education? What is
the economic organization What is
the method of inculcating the ideals
of patriotism? How are these peo-
Pile trained? And, above all, how
can we in the United States initiate
her example and have trained citi-
zen soldiery without the hardships of
compulsory military service as in Ger
many, or the dangers from unprepar-
edness of purely voluntary system
as in England.
In the next article these questions
will be discussed.
