made Switzerland for centuries q mill
tary country, although the CONSUMPTION
law now in force does not date back
beyond the revolution Of 1S4S.
Even in its military relations the
country is truly democratic, because it
has no standing army, for no canton
may nave more IMAM .0UU 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 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 1913 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
before France had modified completes

From the days Of the mythical VIII
