SWISS BEST DEFENDED PEOPLE
IN THE WORLD
Yet Their Constitution Expressly For.
bids Maintenance OF Standing
Army.

ProporIionaIe to population the
Swiss are the best defended people
In the world. In two days they can
mobilize trained citizen army OF
100000 men; within week 100000
more-every man Of the 100000 train
ed to shoot. to march, to manenver
and take care of himself IN the field.
Yet the Swiss are intensely nom
militarisac, intensely devoted to love
of justice and peace. Their consti-
tuition expressly prohibits the main-
tenance of a standing army and spe-
officially forbldsT a var Of aggression.
They are esseatialft rmeG and tram
ed for defense and peace.
With what poignant regret 1f,t:St
the unhappy Belgians now lament
that they put their trust in treaties
OF peace instead Of their own defen'
sive powersi With approximately
twice the population OF Switzerland
Belgium. with the Swiss system, could
have thrown 100000 trained defend
ers upon her German frontier, and
history would record q different and
less tragic story Of this war. Against
that heroic and determined array the
German armies could not have march
ed to strike at France. They would
have deemed Il wiser to move directly
against the French on the Franco
German boundary.
Belgium stands today frightful
warning against the folly Of inade-
quale defense. It had been better
for the BelgIans II they had main
talned no army at all, for then flu
tile sense of honor need not have
driven them to throw their weak
forces against the mighty German
military machine. They could have
saved their country from ruin by
yielding to Berlin's offer 10 treat
them well and compensate them for
a granted right OF way.
The danger Of inadequate defense
hangs over the United States-inade-
quate defense and q false sense OF Sc
curIty springing from an ignorant
belief in many minds that we are
big enough and rich enough to whip
any other nation on the globe"

RecIalming Land from the Sea


The sturdy Dutchman again has
yielded to the overmastering call of
land possession. These. Holland
ers DO not attempt to take ground
from their fellowmeu, but look to
the ocean to supply the increasing
demand for agricultural needs
The present. project proposes to
take from the waters of the Zuyder
Zee 52o,575 acres of farming land,
the undertaking to cost about
$4,000, 900. This is nearly $245
an acre, less than the valuation of
some of the irrigated, reclaimed
land of Arizona. The government
is assured of receiving return
for the money invested and will
increase it's domai n at the same
time. There is a wide contrast
between the struggles of the other
Europeans for terrain In their
fierce combats to push their boun-
daries back against the desperate
resistance of angered foes and the
slow, steady battle of the impas-
sive Dutchman to wrest from the
seas waters additions to the king
