German and the right wing of the French A rmy. The outflafiking of their opponents by means of a short cut across Swiss territory must have appeared a tempting prospect to one or the other of the great military powers. That is why theS wiss men are still under arms. On the slopes of the Jura hills, as well as in the concreted trenches facing A lsace-L orraine andF rance and on the lofty passes of the A lps looking down on the Italian plains, theS wiss soldier is watching and waiting and will continue to do so until peace dawns.

The Swiss Republic is governed by a Federal Council of seven members, elected for 3years by the Federal A ssembly. They are almost always re-elected, a fact which tends to make theS wiss Government a stable and permanent one.
