Even more than in Germany is the
army a part of the daily life of the
Swiss.
With this spirit of militarism a part
of the daily national life there is moth
ing Of militarism in the attitude of the
people, because all the preparation and
system of training is purely for de-
Tense and not for aggression At the
same time il is believed that the train
ing given boys and men is of the great
est service in raising the standard OF
the Swiss manhood and in improving
the health of the whole population.
Nothing is wasted in this land Of
thrift. and the old remark of the hum
orist that nothing escapes the Chicago

be truthfully said of the Swiss efforts
toward efficiency. 1t is doubtful if
even the squeal would be wasted.

The most remarkable of all the vari-

at Geneva. The huge amount of v'NIk
performed by this institution and

Switzerland is reflected by the latest
report given out by the Swiss postal
authorities. This shows that since the

ton dates back to Berthold Won Zah-
rigen. who in the year 1901 erected
there a stronghold. Since the early
days of the fatal month of August.
1914 and especially again in the last
few months, it has been frequently
referred to as THE City of Diplo-
mats" for there are low more diplo-
mats. special ENJOYS, peace apostles
(and also spies are plentifuD in
Berne than there ever was in any
other city in the world Berne has
come to be considerd as the most prob
able place for the conference which
will follow the war.
The keen recognition that the coun-
try lay in the midst of nations that
never have lived in neighborly love
made Switzerland for centuries a mill
tary country, although the CONSUMPTION
law now in force does not date back
beyond the revolution of 1913.
Even in its military relations the
country is truly democratic. because it
has no standing army. for no canton
may have more than 800 armed men
permanently: yet it has a militia sys-
tenn, by which every man between the
ages of eighteen and fifty-two years
is in one or another of the classes
likely to be called TO the cOlorS. and
the mere training begins when the
boys attend school. for from the early
age of seven the Swiss boy is taught
TO hold a rifle and to shoot it, too.
The value of the training and the
system which has been in force in
Switzerland since the last military up
heaval in Europe in 1S4S was strongly
shown when war began in August.
1914. 1t was Switzerland which first
modified her troops. She had large
bodies of men on her frontiers even

on her frontiers were constantly
strengthened until there are now per-

Pity for Unmarried

When we consider the ordinary lives
of unmarried men, We must give them
our pity. for they have deprived them
selves of anxiety. says W. L. George. in
Harper's Magazine. Nearly all earn
as much as they need. and nearly all.
in their isolation and purposelessness,
learn TO need all that they earn.
Their work done. their pockets full
enough. there is no mortgage on their
time. no compulsion as TO their resi-
dence. no demand that they should in
terest themselves in the occupations
or ideas of wife, or child or friend
in anything. indeed. except themselves.
a limited field for ones interest. for
soon one can know ones self too we'll,
and intimacy may breed contempt.
Marriage releases you from the I'M
real by giving you many real things
to think about. by satisfying your need
for association with the solid earth.
That need satisfied. your spirit is free
10 wander in the unreal, in abstract
thought, in artistic desire. instead of
being bound by the continual aspiration
of the unmarried to the real things
they do not possess.

This anecdote may or may not be
authentic but it serves TO show the
true military quality of the Swiss
army. which for its size and cost is
one of the finest bodies of marksmen
in the world.
From the days of the mythical Will
liam Tell and the apple the Swiss have
made shooting a national sport. Prob
ably no army in the world can show
so high an attainment for sharpshoot-
Ing as the Swiss, and during the last
three years the knowledge of this
quality no doubt has not been entirely
without effect in the preservation Of
the Swiss neutrality.
Surrounded by belligerents since the
war was begun in 1914. Switzerland
has been able TO maintain its neutral
ity. and this despite the fact that with
in her borders are opinions that sharp
" favor one or the other of the coun-
tries at war.
While the cantons which border the
German empire are. so far as the
issues o. the war go. profoundly pro-
German. and while the inhabitants of
the majority of the cantons speak
nothing but German. this favor does
no, extend further than the borders
of the country. Switzerland as a
country is neutral state. and has
refused to enter the war on either
side.
Self-preServation plays great part
