AND HER ARMY
Army pH 01? TIIE LPPTI.1: ITL-
PUBLlC IN WAR -TIME
Maintains Efficient Army for One
Purpose --to Protect Freedom and
tGuard Against invasion.
Great interest has been crowed in
Switzerland and Venture t, t t•e:.olt
of an address made revert ly 1•y Dr.
A. Latex, Secretary cf Aaratilieee fey
that rept blit, in which he dvcrli on
the various political clue trot e, com-
mercial return, sehonls, Church and
State, and the teeny. So I:arr.rhtilt
was the speech by Dr. Lau:: that it. '
has been printed in prmi'hlet form
and wheel circulated throughout •
Europe
"Life is a continual struggle," said
Dr. Laux, "and eery individual muEt,
be a fighter. To ovorrnme evil and.
fight for the right is the highest duty. •
The use that tt nation makes of its
army is a certain index to the char-
acter of that Dation.
"What does Switzerland intend to
do with her army? Does she seek
conquest or does she intend to attach-
peaceful
ttackpeaceful neighbors? Does she mean
to extend her commercial relations
by holding. the army as a club over
the head of other nations?
"No man. woman or child in Switz-
erland thinks of such a thing. Oce
army is for one purpose only --to pro.
tort our freedom and independence,
and to .:tend guard on our hordcr
against any attempt at invasion.
Ilrw Switzerland Withstands Invasion
"The horrors of the world war have
produced many anti -militarists in
Switzerland who see nothing but
clnne•er in havine a Tare° army. Those
pennle are very short-sighted. Ex-
perience in that ronilict has given us
warning of the danger of mixing in
any international controversy. The
reason for our neutrality is well
known now to every oneabut, on the
other hand, ate army has commanded
respect and no one dare attack us,
For then reason alone Switzeriend has
been spared the horrors of invasion
such as has overwhelmed Belgium.'
"0:'r army protects not alone our
property, but what is more important,
our freedom. Take liberty away from
a Swiss and yon take everythinre that
is dear to him. So, while the army
may be in -a sense a burden, at the
same time it is a great protection to
our homes, otrr property and our
liberty.
Furthermore, the army is one of
.the best training institutions a coun-
try can have. Its discipline is an
asset to a country, and it inspires
patriotism, faith and loyalty. What
is a nation without discipline? What
we want in our army is absolute
democracy. We want no snubbery,
no classes, and with this in view we
desire that more of our officers should
come direct from the farm. We sanc-
tion no abuse or brutality of privates
by officers. All that we asic is respect
between the men. There lies the pride
we have in our army, so much so that
every man of Switzerland is anxious
to serve and not evade military duty,
so that after this period of training
and service he can ever afterwards be
proud that he had such a rare privi-
lege."
TOMMY NOT DOWNHEARTED
Describing the Cheerful Optimism of
the British Fighting Forces.
A British army officer, writing
about "Kitchener's Mob," says that
Tommy is sick of the war, sick of its
comfortabless nights and days, sick
of its carnage, and that ho longs for
home and peace. But there is "that
within him," he says, which inspires
him to hold on and to carry the fight
to the Germans. He is compounded
of cheerful optimism and grim ten-
acity --e wonderful fighting man.
The intimate picture of him that
• lingers most willingly in my mind,
continues the author, is one that I car-
ried with me from the trenches on
the dreary November evening a
short time before I bade him good-
bye. It had been raining and snow-
ing for a week. The trenches were
knee-deep in water—in some places
waist-deep—for the ground was as
level as a floor, and there was no
possibility of drainage. We were wet
through, and our legs were numb with
cold, Near our gun position there
was a hole where the water had ga-
thered four feet deep. A bridge of
hoards had been built over it, but in
the darkness a passer-by slipped and
fell into the icy water up to his arm
pits.
"Now then, matey," ¢ said an ex-
asperated voice, "bathin' in our pri
Nate pool without a License!" And
another, "'Ere, son! This ain't a
' se emmin' bawth! That's our tea water
yer a-standin' in!"
The Tommy in the -Water must have
been nearly frozen, but for a moment
he made no effort to get out. "One
of you fetch me a bit of temp" he
said coaxingly. "Youain't a-goin' tie
talc about tea Water to a bloke wort
ain't had a bawth in seven weeks!"

MAN may well feel proud to have raised
stock, grain, fruit or vegetables that will stand
comparison with the best his neighbour can
produce.
The exhibition gives you an opportunity
to show your be work, and to see what
others have been producing.
It is natural to want to win a prize or a ribbon. The
desire puts you on your mettle, and even though you may
not win the coveted prize, the effort you make will mean
an improvement in your whole year's production.
It is this constant striving that keeps 'all live people up to the
mark. We, as manufacturers, have a tremendous responsibility to
spur us on. We know our success depends on the perfect satis-
faction cif the millions of Gillette Razor users who daily enjoy the
real Iuxury of a faultless shave.
The every -day shaver has put the "blue ribbon" on the Gillette
Razor. His hearty commendation makes his friends want to buy
the famous safety razor. It would do you good to hear him.
At the Exhibition, you will see thousands of men who owe their
clean, fresh appearance largely to the Gillette. Suppose you step
Tinto a jewelry, drug, or hardware store, and look over the assort-
ment of Gillette sets.
aff Your year's work has entitled you to "treat" yourself to a
Gillette, and you will say, as the years go by, that it was the
beset five dollars you ever invested.

"Yes, of course."
"Well, those you have down here

GAME SANCTUARY IN YUKON
Would Protect Canada's Mountain
Sheep, Caribou and Moose.
The Advisory Board on Will -life
Protection has been drawing public
attention to the need for protecting
the important game resources of
Northern Canada, and is now looking
into the need for a game sanctuary
in Yukon territory to save from des-
truction the mountain sheep, caribou,
moose and other large game that are
found in considerable numbers in that
region.
"From information obtained from
prospectors, hunters, trappers and
Indians it is estimated that there are
probably between 4,000 and 5,000
mountain sheep in that district bound-
ed by the White, Donjek and Nisling
rivers," says Mr. A. L. Bell, of the
R.N.W.M.P., Whitehorse .pub -district,
in reporting on the advisability of
tablishing such a sanctuary.' "These
es
animals have undoubtedly been driven
to that district from the more access-
ible areas on account of persistent
I hunting on the part of both white
