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."
