BRILLIANT MARKSMEN SWISS DEFENCES TAKING NO CHANCES (Times Air Mail Service) LONDON, October 9 Switzerland, which saw the League of Nations at closer quarters than any other nation, has in recent years taken no chances with disarmament, comments the Swiss correspondent of the Evening Standard. Not only have her forts been extended and strengthened to meet the danger of a German invasion to strike at France; but her system of military training has made the conscripted troops the finest marksmen in the world. Some years ago in Geneva I was told a story by a Swiss officer who was in attendance on the Kaiser during his pre-war visit to Switzerland. Impressing For the benefit of the All-Highest the Swiss had arranged a shooting contest at running targets by their best marksmen. One sergeant fired fifty rounds without a single miss. The Kaiser, immensely impressed, sent for the sergeant. “How many men can your country put in the field?” he asked. “250,000,” was the reply. “And what would you do if I sent ar. army of 500,000 against you?” “In that case we should each want two cartridges.” HORSE RACING JUDGE CRITICISES SPORT (From a Correspondent) SYDNEY, September 27 Justice Long Innes in the Equity Court today passed some comment on people interested in horse racing when the application of a former jockey for maintenance from his mother’s estate came before him. The applicant was Phillip Kuhn, who headed the winning jockeys’ list in 1919-20. Mrs Lucy Kuhn died in February last year leaving an estate of £5335 to her son, Arthur Kuhn, a horse trainer and twin brother of the applicant. His Honour said that so far as he could see the justification for horse racing was that it gave considerable pleasure to a small minority of the population. "It also gives an opportunity to the large proportion who indulge their fancies in the hope of getting something for nothing. “The large majority of them,” commented the Judge, “would not know a horse’s wither from its pastern if you asked them. It does, however, afford employment to a large number of people, many of whom would be otherwise unemployed. Kuhn and his brother came within that class.” His Honour directed that Kuhn receive an income of approximately £2 7s 6d a week. RUMANIAN OIL GERMAN DIFFICULTIES The strategic position occupied by Russian troops along the RumanianPolish frontier raises an interesting point as to the future of oil supplies from Rumania to Germany. The capacity of Greater Germany’s refineries was considered sufficient to produce peace-time needs, but her war-time needs are vastly greater. In March this year Germany signed an economic treaty with Rumania which gave her a great measure of control of Rumania’s economic resources and the latest agreement is even more favourable to the Nazis. Barring Soviet Russia, Rumania is the largest producer of petroleum in Europe. Last year her output of crude oil totalled 6,600,000 tons. Germany’s total imports jwere 5,000,000 tons, Last year Germany had plans in hand for the establishment of a pipe line from Rumania through Ruthenia and Slovakia, via Bratislavia to Vienna, but with the subsequent annexation of Czechoslovakia, she assumed a strategic ascendancy over the lands within the Carpathian arc. Whether that ascendancy is jeopardised by the presence of a great number of Russian troops on the Polish-Rumanian. frontier is a matter for conjecture.
