SWITZERLAND

Switzerland is famous for its Condensed Milk, Cuckoo Clocks, Yodelers,
and Heroes.

The Swiss are an Artless people.

"What more worthy people! Whose every Alpine gap yawns with tradition,
and is stocked with noble story, yet, the perverse and scornful one
(Art) will none of it, and the sons of patriots are left with the clock
that turns the mill, and the sudden cuckoo, with difficulty restrained
in its box."
_Whistler._

TURKEY

[Illustration]

When what was once a Turkey comes before us on a platter (like this)
shorn of all that endeared it to itself, a burnt offering to Appetite,
fresh from the burning, no one questions what will be the "_ ... last
scene of all. That ends this strange eventful history._"

All he wants to know is whether he will get the particular slice he has
mentally reserved for himself.

Just so that other Turkey that sits on the fence between Europe and Asia
and gobbles defiance at an avenging world.

The avenging Powers sit round as they have sat round before, waiting
each one for the slice he has mentally reserved for himself. But there
won't be any slices!

_You may burn, you may shatter_
_The Turk if you will,_
_He will rise from his ashes_
_And roost with you still._

He is the modern incarnation of the indestructible Phoenix Bird.

Nevertheless we must give the Devil his due; the Turks are a fearless
people; they have many wives.

* * *

The inhabitants of Turkey are the most Moral and Patriotic people in the
World, and their army is second to none in bravery and they won the
World War.
