THOSE BANKERS

In high spirits, the national
bankers who visited Tacoma yes
terday, left late yesterday after
noon.
Did Tacoma, with its hospital
fly, make a hit with the bankers?
Well, you ought to have heard
those bankers talk.
Why, they couldn't have been
more enthusiastic II they had just
been offered a 100000 Of U. 8.
bonds at IL per cent.
They talked and talked about
the Stadium, gushed about Point
Defiance, enthused about the
Country club and the city's fine
homes, and in general were quite
Tacoma fans before they left us.

who made the stunt a success in

How can tiny Switzerland have
an adequately trained and Off
cered militia witt the small
amount of training which she i'm
poses?
Secretary of War Garrison has
stated that the very least train
ing that a man must receive in
this country to make him of any
value as a soldier is six months.
All our military authorities agree
to this.
How is IL, then, that Swift
erland. giving her recruits
the first year only from two
to three months training, and
after that only II days
year is able to have "A fight
ing force SECOND TO NOM
In THE WORLD?
The answer is two-fold: First,
she does much of the preliminary
training in her schools, rifle clubs
and cadet. associations before the
men get into the militia proper
and she selects only men who can
show by examination that they
have had adequate mental as well
as physical preliminary training
and second, when she does start
to train her men to be soldiers,
SHE CUTS OUT THE MONIES
SENTIAI.S and trains the men for
what they have to do.
Says Capt. T. B. Mott, U. s. A.,
who spent some time in Switzer-
land studying the Swiss system
for our war department, in his
report: ar II 3sN ms

the Swiss militia is exactly the

to Do to Adopt Plan

The permanent personnel OF
the Swiss army consists only OF
200 officers, known as instruct
ors" of three classes. These men
are the only men who have
adopted the army as . profession
The military efficiency of the
army is increased by the fact that
the Swiss confederation owns and
operates the railways, the tele-
phones and telegraphs and oper'
ates it's own arms and munitions
factories.
When a man goes into tht
army he is assigned to that serv'
ice where his previous training
