It should be widely translated. A conflict of the present vnet magnitude involves su

Lloyd keeps in a clear light be fore his readers the real chal- lenge, the cause for which the Crusade is being fought and must be fought out to victory. The famous dictum of Acton, most learned of Catholic his- torians, that liberty is not the chief but the only political end, he puts in the forefront of his interpretation of Britain, and his conclusion is that not frontiers nor systems, but free- dom is what we fight to es- tablish. Once that is done, enduring peace may be added unto it. Until the redemption of freedom no pence plans can avail,

WITZERLAND has manned her defences, in spite of the fact that Gerninny has given her a pledge that she will not violate Swiss neutrality. The precaution which Switzer- land has taken is a natural one: for the fate of Belglum, has not been forgotten.
Recently I visited Switzerland to And out how anxious her people were about their proximity to n Yast aggressive State.
I returned far more interested In another question.
IL is this: Could Germany break through
ugh the Swiss defence system, If she tried?
M. Philip Etter, the President, was quite emphatic on this point. So, too, were the officers of the General Staf, the porter who car- ried my bag up to my hotel bed- room, and the citizen soldier who diaplayed for my inspection the military kit and ammunition which every Swiss keeps safe and dry in his own home.

Switzerland; it is clear; has both- the will and the military means to bar the passage of any enemy who ventures to violate her peace-con- secrated soll.
But even more than upon her men, Switzerland relies upon her mountains for her defence.
Her Maginot Line is not the. tefumph of military engineers, but the military masterpiece of the Architect of the Alpa.
There, upon the timeless face of the Jurassic rock, pigmy man luis carved out and fashioned his Uttle fortresses. They command defles and valleys, great mountain passes, ronds and tunnels.

heart. On 31 August, 1014, when the danger threatened from another quarter, Switzerland had mobilised 220,000 men in defence of her territory. She maintainest 100,000 on her frontler until the 'Armistice.
In other words, she preserved her neutrality by defending it. And that is her present policy.
To-day, Switzerland can put half a million highly-trained men into The field, and half that number In reserve.. Upon this army to date she has spent 1,000,000,000 Swiss francs, or around £50,000,000.
The Swiss army is unlike any other in Europe. In the first place Its training is based entirely on the proposition that its task can never be other than the defence of Swiss soll.
"How long would it take you to mobilise?" I asked a stocky farmer. Well," he replied. wien_Military service starts for all at the bell rings in the village I shall run home and put on my uniform. Half an hour, perhaps, and I shall be ready. And it would be the same with the others."

Hitler's Long Knife
IF I set out to choose a villain for a "penny dreadful" I would pick on Dr. Frank, Nazi Reich Minister of Justice, who is now Governor-General for the Polish territories occupied by Germany.
The man who will now administer Hitler's terror over the Poles is the Ideal combination of Prussion Impu- dence and American Gangstertiom,. which ruake up Nazism.
This Is, not a far-fetched compari-, son because Dr. Frank started out as criminal lawyer in Berlin's East End. Only when the Nazi party in its most riotous period provided most of the murderers, law-breakers, and plain gangsters in pre-Hitler Genmany did. young Dr. Frank switch over to poli- ties.
He specialised in political murders and other crimes committed by members of the Nazi party.
Frank defended his Nazi clients very ably. He is a good orator, and he has a certain-personal- appeal. Immaculately dressed, clean-slaven, with straight, dark hair brushed back, he looks "almost a gentle. man."
When Hitler come Irito power Frank was first made Commisar for Justice in Bavaria, and later Bavari- an Minister of Justice. Soon he gained for himself a reputation as the first Nozl leader to shock the world.
That was when the Reichstag, un- der Hitler, ot contained Socialist. M.P.. During a debate, Frank, pre- ferring force to argument, thrust. President Locke, one of Germany's most distinguished Parliamentarians, from his seat and took his place. The scene created a sensation.
Then Frank ventured out into the fleld of international politics. To the Austrian Nazis, with whom the Austrian Government was then en- gaged in a deadly struggle, he sent out moxsaces of encouragement." Next he decided to go to Vienna himself "to attend a jurists' gather- Ing."
The Austrian Government, through its Ambassador, explained in Berlin that Frank's visit would not be ap- preciated, and politely asked whether the turbulent Nazi Minister could: not stay at home.
But that did not stop Frank.
I shall never forget the hour of his arrival: The Austrian Nazis de- cided on a demonstration of welcome.. The Austrian Government, on the other hand, had prepared a different reception for Frank,
