The Swiss Government presents he youngster with gun and in. struction in the method of using it S furnished. When the lad is called for service he is qualified at IS,
 o render the efficient service re- quired. Every male in. Switzerland, between the ages of IS and 52, is eligible for service. The Swiss mob ilized its troops and placed them on the frontiers just as soon as war was declared in 1914, and due to the accuracy of the Swiss with all kinds of firearms no one trifled with them.
 The Swiss think highly of their army as the following conversation between the former Emperor of Ger many and Swiss general indicates. Shortly after the war began the Kais CT that was attended shooting car nival at Berne. Wilhelm piled the Swiss general with questions, such as:
 How many men could your coun try put on the field in a week?" said the All Highest that was .
 About 500,00O," {, answered the Swiss General.
 What would you. do if I came against you with 100000 men?"en quired Wilhelm.
 "In that case, your majesty" suav- ely replied the General, i've would have to shoot twice"
 We have that same feeling about Americans now. There was feeling when the United States went into the war that we were unprepared, that we could not shoot any better than the first British army that Lord Kitchener sent into action Kitchen. CTS cable to England to teach the men to shoot first and drill after wards is history. But this assertion bears out one that has been repeat edly made-that more battles are won by good shooting than in any other way.
 We were not unprepared. America hadn't given as much time of late years to the high-power rifle as in the past for those who desired sport | with the gun took to trapshooting | and trapshoOters and the trench shot gun made lot of history when they | were engaged.

Another Automobile Acct
dent on Main Street

Another automobile accident was
added to the already long list of those
occurring in Newark and vicinity dur
ing the last few weeks when on
Thursday evening a collision occurred
at the corner of Main street and
Couth College avenue between Miss
Edna Chalmers car and one driven by
a young man from Chester, Pa. The
latter car was damaged considerably
but Miss Chambers car escaped with
scarcely a scratch. None of the oc
cupants were hurt.
Miss Chambers was proceeding
westward on Main street when the
Pennsylvania car coming at a good
rate of speed in the opposite direc-
ton, made a wide de-our to make the
turn down South College avenue. Ihe
cars struck with a glancing side blow
which shattered the running board Of
the Pennsylvania car.

General Pershing Passes
Through Newark

When it was learned definitely on
Thursday that General PershiMg' 5
train was to pass through Newark, the
young people, particularly the school
children, began to wonder if some
strings could not be pulled to have
the train at least slow up in Newark
so that they might get glimpse of
the great man.
Superintendent Morris appealed to
State authorities, who made an effort
through communication with Mayor
Smith. of Philadelphia, to bring this
to pass. No reply was received and
the proposed trip to the station was
abandoned A dozen or so of the
curious among the adults, however,
iourneyed to the station and hung
around, hoping that by some turn of
fortune or misfortune the train might
stop or slow up. When the special
hove in sight at 1:25, just in time to
the dot. even the usually blase' rail-
road folk evidently had glimmer of
hope, too, for they joined the crowd
at the rail. The special, however,
shot past so fast that only the engi-
neer and fireman could be distinguish
ed clearly and as far as the watchers
knew neither of these was the famous
''Black Jack" The youthful fireman
did the honors to the best Of his en-
thusiastic ability, waving his one-time
white sailor hat with an energy
worthy better cause. He was ac-
corded a cheerful greeting from the
assembled Newarkers.
At intervals all day huge motor
trucks, mounted guns, touring cars
and motor cycles passed through town
on their way to Washington. They
were accorded cheers and smiles all
along the route. The main body OF
the troops and the greater part of the
equipment passed through on the B.
G. 0. A great deal likewise, was con-
veyed over the Pennsylvania line.
