with 1t high social position and cer-

Just before he gets up nerve enough

Swiss officers and subofficers for the
Japanese Emperor's army"
According to the Neuf Zurich
Zeitung, the newspaper which pub
fishes this information, flattering in
ducements are made to attract Swiss
officers to the Japanese service.
They are offered high salaries, with
passage paid and bonuses. They are
t. enlist for a period of five years,
with the understanding that if Japan
enters war before their term of en-
hstment expires, they are to serve in
the Japanese army under Japanese
officers, but not against their own
country.
The Neuf Zurich Zeitung is also
authority for the statement that
Japanese diplomats, officers and
agents have been quite numerous in
Switzerland lately and it does not
appear that they are simply in the
country for the purpose of enjoying
Switzerland's justly famous scenery
This information is of more than
passing interest, if for no other rea-
son, because of the fact that it shows
Japan determined to improve upon her
already highly efficient troops by
|employing some of the finest soldiers
in Europe as instructors. In other
days she might have turned to Prus-
lsia, but obviously that is out of the
question just at present and, besides
Prussian militarists have lost
prestige.
1t is rather remarkable, however
that Japan, which in some respects is
the Prussia of the orient, should turr
to the citizen army of a model re.
public for her military instructors.
