In becoming active regarding explicit
rulings as to exemptions, the government is
doing the public real service. Those who
have been selected for army duty must under
stand. once for all the rigid character of the

Germany has limited to Switzerland that il
the little Alpine republic does not lend her
a few million francs she may be invaded.
That is only excuse to invade or compel
the Swiss to do Germany's will, for any loan
Switzerland could make would be Of small

intend to put the screws all their small
neutral neighbors and rob them of all their
sustenance before the autocracy gives up the
ghost. Anyhow, there are no people so
nervous and mortally anxious as the little
peoples around the German empire.
