'TboW Is ' u?> soldiery lu tlm mill tary world corttlhtf u* little i**r man us the Swiss. "ThU difference arises from the fact llmt llm army of the Mwls* confeder ation Is In truth a citizen army. II Is organized on what ha?t been called (lie 'voluntary compulsory' *yHtwti, to whlrii the Swiss people ha \e freely re signed i hemsol ves lii order to KUAruu tee tin* lndo|iemlcuce of I heir country. "The Swiss hoy, at tlU- ago of Urn. is put into tho gmynasilc class at m hool, antl begins learning the eh' t incut of ilu' soldier drill on the school house playgrounds. I^ong before he Is old enough to he called upon for service he has learned to do the man ual exercises and to go through much of the drill that afterward tits Idm for n soldier. "When ii hoy reaches 17 years he Is llalde to service a liability which con tinues until he Is 50 years of age. 10 v* on after that he may he liable. If he is capable of doing any other army work than soldiering, such as acting as ba ker or veterinary surgeon. "Vet with all of this uulvcrsul train ing. the only people in Switzerland who make arms exclusive profession are the commander-in-chief, selected b.v the Federal assembly, and the general staff. These form the brains of the army. Tim crank and tile belong to the [cantons, Just as the mllttla do to the state In this country. 'At the age of 20 every able-bodied Swiss youth becomes a unit in the first lino. During the first year of liability he must serve 75 days or more, and 11 days for each successive year lie is called to the standard. Services in the first line continues until the citi zen has reached the ago of .'{2. There fore he becomes a unit in the Lund jjvehr or First Reserve, in which he re mains until he is 44. He must give 0 days of service during each four years that he heloiiLs to the Landwehr. From 44 to 50. he serves in the Land strum oi Second Reserve. "Rich and poor serve side by side in the Swiss army, and there is none of the 'crack' regiment idea to be found. There is only one general, and he Is picked from a nation of soldiers: nor is his remuneration lordly for his salary is only $10 a day. The caste system has not boon perinttted to creep Into the Swiss army, for the very es sence of the Swiss military idea is that all men start from the scratch, and that brain and ability must win the race. "IOvery commune in Switzerland is required by federal law to maintain, at public exjiense, a safe and suitable target range of not loss than 1,000 feet. All legally organized shooting clubs of t In.' commune have the right to use this range fret' of elmrge. The government gives (So cents a year to each club for each member doing a prescribed amount ? > f shooting during the year. The annual number of shots bred in tawt practice in the army and in the shooting clubs roadies nearly OOO.OOU rounds, two-thirds of which practice i>J done by the shooting clubs. "Though surrounded on all sides by belligerent millions, whose interests might be served by asking; tier to steji out of their paths. Switzerland today stands on an island of peace in a sea of war. because she has been prepared to maintain her neutrality and her freedom, or at least to exact such a price for tlieni that none of the na tions at war can afford to pay for their viola t ion."
