How many men could your coun-
try put in the field in week7' in
quired the German emperor.
"About FIVE hundred thousand an
swered his guide, slightly exaggerating
the real number.
"What If / should come against you
with a million menw
In that case, your majesty" suave-
~ replied the Swiss general. 1--WE
should have to shoot twice"
This anecdote may or may not be
authentic. but 1t 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 national sport. Prob
ably 10 army In the world can show
so high an attainment for sharpshoot-
Ing as the Swiss, and during the Inst
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 tine
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
ly 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
MT extend further than the borders
of the country. Switzerland as a
country Is a neutral state, and has
refused to enter the war on either
side.
Self-preservation plays great part
In this view, no doubt, for were the
country to align itself with the CEN
trail powers II would soon be overrun
from the south and west by the troops
of the allies, only too eager to find a
more direct route Into the center of
GGEludny. VII the DllleF manu-, any
attempt TO ally itself with the entente
powers would result In having German
troops pour over the eastern borders in
such nr:.aosrs that the little country
could not exLact to escape suffering.
The part assigned her in the great war
has been recognized by all the bellig-
erents as that of the Good Samaritan.
And there the little country stands In
the midst Of wars alarms, serenely on
guard, but otherwise playing the
part of the neutral and the friend
of all.
One of these days there will be n
peace conference, and as almost every
civilized nation Is now engaged in the
war on one side or the other. indIca-
lions point to Switzerland as being
the logical country for round table
talk of the powers, and. furthermore,
the capital OF Switzerland, Berne, I'M
doubtedly is the place where such
conference win be held.
Berne is one of the most fascinat-
ing cities in Europe. Its founda-

ON GUARD

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin
they have lived inuoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the exhilarati0n Of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashloned
herbal remedy, which has had such
fine reputation for fifty years 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
cerine and made into tablets and liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
In order to insure pure blood and to
build up the system try this tonic
known as DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Get it nowl

There is a choice this season in the
line of the silhouette. We may dis
avow curves entirely and wear a coat
or dress that Is straight from neck to
hem, or 60 to the other extreme and
choose a bodice or coat that is fitted
in to the figure closely, or stop any
where between these. Half way be-
tween seems to be the happy medium
that is most generally becoming. But
the possessor Of a very good figure
may go even farther than the semifit-
ted coat with fine effect as is attested
by the coat suit which reflects this
place of the style as shown in the pic
ture above.
This braid and button trimmed suit
of serge sets snugly to the body above
the waist where the lines of the coat
flow out into ripRes at the back and
sides, but are almost straight at the
front. Parallel rows Of narrow silk
braid, stitched across the sides and
back Of the coat, end in row of small
bone buttons at each side. This is a
novel placing Of braid which is char

acteristic of this season. Correspond
Ing rows OF braid, ending in buttons
are placed on the sleeves. There is
shawl collar and an over-collar Of
washable white satin.
In order to preserve the snug lines
about the waist this coat Is fastened
with three buttons at the front. There
are several ways of arriving at this
closely fitted effect by means of in.
genious cutting. They are novel but
not more successful than the simple
and direct methods shown In the pic
ture.
The style of the skirt In this suit
may be taken as criterion for the
season. 1t is a straight-line model,
fitted about the hips, with waistiine
very slightly raised and " could hardly
be simpler. These are the ideals THAI
all skirt makers seem to have In mind
just now.

Gus Easter hats all proclaiming that
styles have taken a new tack and are

into all kinds Of fanciful and beauti.

TELLS OF NIGHT LIFE IN The TRENCH

with night watchers who trust nobody
but themselves.
Another period of silence except low
voices Of men talking In trench whls-
pers." They've learned to trench
whisper" by constant practice. A Poilu
alphabetically explained, as he rear
ranged his nest of black egglike hand
grenades on the trench shelf before him,
that American soldiers talked too loud
at first. But they finally learned to
"parler doucement" he added.
The Boche is active again. A flock
of hand grenades Roar themselves into
silence on the other side as fiery light
streaks perform arcs like Roman can
dies and then float gracefully down
under their parachutes into the Ger
man wire. A rifle grenade explodes
halfway across No Mans Land and
Boche machine guns take up the tune.
The Boche having told the French by
the display that no German soldiers
are proving in this part Of No Mans
Land, there is silence again until time
makes things uncertain.
"The Boche has no reason to be
nervous yet" whispered an officer,
"Our first patrol goes. out at 2 o'clock.
Would you like to go along?"
Patrolling is one of the milder games
of hide and seek in No Mans Land at
night and it's something most all
American trench soldiers will learn
before the war is over.

LONDON HAS NEW CRIMINAL
He Gives Poisoned Candy to the Wonn-
an Conductors Of the Mo-
torbuses.

London. This city has a new kind
Of criminal He win take rank with
the "ink squirtev" Of New York and
possibly Jack the pepper" This new
est brand Of criminal has been Civ
ing poisoned candy to woman conduc-
tors of motorbuses. He is described
as middle aged, of gentlemanly appear
ance and suaye speech.
Several of his victims have been
taken unconscious to hospitals, but oil
have recovered. At least dozen young
women have received poisoned candy
from him and without exception they
have been taken violently i'll soon aft
er eating 1t.
His custom is to wait until he is the
only passenger in the bus and then to
open a box of chocolates and invite
the conductor to help herself. Usu-
ally the woman says she will, because
candy is scarce and costly in London
and the conductors do not make hand
some wages. He usually asks the In
tended victim to take as much as she
wishes, and a moment or two after
ward leaves the bus.
All the women say they could identi-
fly him. The police are making dill
gent search for him, but their search
does not prevent him from carrying on
his operations. There are thousands
Of motorbuses In London, and the field
of operations Is therefore large.

to mail letters to the folks back home.

or dress their wounds when they come

les with the conduct Of the entire can
