And, on the 3rd November, 1907, the friends of the Swiss Army had the pleasure of recording the adoption, by 329..., 953 against 267, 605, of a law dealing with military organization which in- creased the cantonal quota of the militia, extended 102 REAL DEMOCRACY IN OPERATION the duration of military service and aroused the passionate opposition of the Socialist party.
