OT long before the present
war was begun the kaiser
attended a shooting, festi
val in Switzerland during
the grand nieneuvers in
that country. He was
naturally attended by a
Swiss general, to whom
he plied his questions.
IT T
xiow manv men could vour coun

quired the German emperor.
"About five hundred thousand," an
swered his guide, slightly exaggerating
the real number.
"What If I should come against you
with a million men?"

suave
ly replied the Swiss general, "we
should have to shoot twice."
This anecdote may or may not be
authentic, but It 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 Wil
liam Tell and the apple the Swiss have
made shooting a national sport. Prob
ably no army In the world can show
so high an attainment for sharpshoot
lng as the Swiss, and during the last
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 the
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 (he
German empire are, so far as the
Issues of the war go, profoundly pro
German, and while the inhabitants of
the majority of the cantons speak
nothing but German, this favor does
not 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 a great part
In this view, no doubt, for were the
country to align Itself with the cen
tral powers It 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
Germany. On the other hand, any
attempt to ally Itself with the entente
powers would result in having German
troops pour over the eastern borders in
such numbers that the little country
could not expect 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 war's alarms, serenely on
guard, but otherwise playing the
part of the neutral and the friend
of all.
One of these days there" will be a
peace conference, and as almost every
civilized nation is now engaged in the
war on one side or the other, Indica
tions point to Switzerland as being
the logical country for a round table
talk of the powers, and, furthermore,
the capital of Switzerland, Berne, un
doubtedly is the place where such
conference will be held.
Berne is one of the most fascinat
ing cities in Europe. Its founda-
1914, and especially again in the last
few months, it has been frequently
referred to as "The City of Diplo
mats." for there are cow more diplo
mats, special envoys, peace apostles
(and also spies are plentiful) in
Berne than there ever was in any
other city in the world. Berne has
come to be considerd as the most prob
able place for the conference which
will follow the war.
The keen recognition that the coun
try lay in the midst of nations that
never have lived in neighborly love
made Switzerland for centuries a mili
tary country, although the conscription
law now in force does not date back
beyond the revolution of 1848.
Even in its military relations the
country is truly democratic, because it
has no standing army, for no canton
may h.ave more than 300 armed men
permanently; yet it has a militia svs-,
tern, by which every man between the
ages of eighteen and fifty-two years
is In one or another of the classes
likely to be called to the colors, and
the mere training begins when the
boys attend school, for from the early
age of seven the Swiss boy is taught
to hold a rifle and to shoot it. too.
The value of the training and the
system which has been in force in
Switzerland since the last military up
heaval In Europe in 1S48 was strongly
shown when war began in August.
1914. It was Switzerland which first
mobilized her troops. She had large
bodies of men on her frontiers even
before France had mobilized complete
ly' and even before the German mob
ilization, with all its perfection of effi
ciency, was accomplished.
For the next six months the forces
on her frontiers were constantly
strengthened until there are now per
haps 400,000 men of all arms defend
ing Switzerland's democracy.
Even more than in Germany Is the
army a part of the daily life of the
Swiss.
With this spirit of militarism a part
of the daily national life there is noth
ing of militarism in the attitude of the
people, because all the preparation and
system of training is purely for de
fense and not for aggression. At the
same time it is believed that the train
ing given boys and men is of the great
est service in raising the standard of
the Swiss manhood and In improving
the health of the whole population.
Nothing is wasted in this land of
thrift, and the old remark of the hum
orist that nothing escapes the Chicago
pork packer but the squeal could not
be truthfully said of the Swiss efforts
toward efficiency. It Is doubtful if
even the squeal would be wasted.
The Nobel Peace Prize for 1917 has
been awarded to the international Red
Cross committee In Geneva. This com
mittee has, since the outbreak of the
war, thanks to the Swiss and untiring
efforts of its president, Gustave Ador.
lately elected federal counselor and
chief of the political department of
the Swiss Confederation, achieved such
a remarkable and enviable success
that Switzerland today is generally re- '
ferred to, as Mr. Stovall, the United
States ambassador to Switzerland,
himself said, as the "Good Samaritan."
The most remarkable of all the vari
ous humanitarian undertakings in the
world war, organized by this comm
tee. Is the agency for prisoners of war
at Geneva. The huge amount of work
performed by this institution and
other benevolent organizations In
Switzerland Is reflected by the latest
report given out by the Swiss postal
authorities. This shows that since the
beginning of the war until the end of
October, 1917, 334,772,081 letters and

When we consider the ordinary lives
of unmarried men, we must give them
our pity, for they have deprived them
selves of anxiety, says W. L. George, in
Harper's Magazine. Nearly all earn

learn to need all that they earn.
Their work done, their pockets full
enough, there is no mortgage on their
time, no compulsion as to their resi
dence, no demand that they should in
terest themselves in the occupations
or ideas of wife, or child or friend
in anything, indeed, except themselves,
a limited field for one's interest, for
soon one can know one's self too well,
and intimacy may breed contempt.
Marriage releases you from the un
real by giving you many real things
to think about, by satisfying your need
for association with the solid earth.
That need satisfied, your spirit is free
to wander in the unreal, in abstract
thought, in artistic desire, instead of
being bound by the continual aspiration
of the unmarried to the real things
they do not possess.
