OUR MILITARY EXPERTS.
"The invasion of Switzerland ... if accomplished rapidly and with luck,
would involve a threat to the French left and to the communications
with Italy."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
Our own Military Expert is of opinion that the invasion of Holland would in
very much the same way threaten the British right and our communications
with Scotland.

"The use of barkless dogs, songless cats and whispering parrots is
advocated in Philadelphia, following on recent announcements from the
battlefields of Europe that 'brayless' mules have been perfected for
trench and other battle-front labours by a simple operation on the
nostrils and the nerves affecting the vocal cords.
