Berne, May 1.-The men of Switzer-
land aren't soldiers, in peace tines.
,sThev are only citizens who know
how to be soldiers if they have to.
The United States doesn't need
1900 600 soldiers. What it does need
is 1000 600 men who know how to
be soldiers, IN case the need arises.
Il had a boy in college" wrote the
father of a young British soldier
"One dav he ran off and enlisted in a
london foot regiment. After three
months training his regiment was senl
10 FLANDERS. He was killed at Ypres-
I am telling you this to help you
preach the gospel of compulsory train
ing, not CONSUMPTION.
Il am grieved and proud about my
boy. But I feel that his regiment did
not have a sporting chance They
only know how to go on and die.
feel that the men in England who OPP
pose compulsory military training are
guilty OF a greater felony than those
who sank the Lusitania"
,1 This is the sort of feeling / find,
this feeling expressed by this rather,
that brought. about compulsory mill
tary training in Switzerland.
Had Soldiers Ready.
- Here in Switzerland where. under
the marvellous system of military
ffaining. a fifth of a million of the
finest soldiers in Europe were placed
on the frontiers of their country to
guard them before the first shots at
Liege had died down, you get it driven
into your American mind that COM
piusory military training isn't intend
ed to create soldiers. Its purpose is
to create nation of fine, strong young
men and hale, hearty old men who will
f4is
forces them to play that role.
The Swiss aren't fussy;. they don't
love fighting. An these years of learn
ing how to be soldiers. if the need
comes, has taught them that fighting
is-n no picnic and that it doesn't pay to
starta row just for the sake of rowing.
Not OF Fighting Disposition.
The Swiss are not a fighting nation
like the Serbs, for instance, and yet
man for man, the Swiss army is the
equal of any army in the world
EVERY citizen in the ever-fighting Bal
Itans is a soldier, a potential killer
THAT'S one of the troubles with the
Balkans. But every citizen of Switzer-
land, because of his scientific train
ing. is citizen who'll be a soldier only
when some enemy drives him to play
that role.
That's the big reason Switzerland is
at peace today.
It would cause an :upheavaI in the
United States to put the Swiss mill
tary system into effect there. In fact
we couldn't transplant it in it's en-
tirety.
There are some things about it that
Americans wouldn't ike One of then
is the little blue book
(ArticIe No 2 will deal with the lit
tie blue book and the upheavaI il
American life and systems which the
Swiss military system might cause }
