Parallel zur polit. Laufbahn glanzvolle militär. Karriere: 1871 Leutnant der Infanterie, 1875 Oberleutnant, 1880 Hauptmann im Generalstab, 1883 Major, 1886 Stabschef der 8. Division, 1887 Oberstleutnant, 1891 als Oberst im Generalstab Stabschef des 4.

S. war massgeblich an der Militärorganisation von 1907 beteiligt und gilt als Schöpfer der Truppenordnung von 1911 (ab 1912 in Kraft). Bei der intrigenbelasteten Generalswahl am 3.8.1914 erklärte S. gegenüber der Wahlbehörde trotz einer Stimmenmehrheit seinen Verzicht auf die Generalswürde und übernahm die Position des Generalstabschefs der Armee. Die viereinhalb Kriegsjahre waren trotz einer klaren Aufgabenteilung - S. mit der Hauptlast an operativen, strateg. und administrativen Aufgaben, Ulrich Wille mit den Ressorts Repräsentation, Disziplinarwesen und Ausbildung - durch permanente Differenzen zwischen den beiden versch. Charakteren geprägt, welche der Öffentlichkeit jedoch weitgehend verborgen blieben. S. hatte sich schon vor dem Krieg mit den Generalstäben der Zentralmächte auf deren Initiative hin unverbindlich über die Möglichkeit einer Eventualallianz ausgetauscht. Er stellte sich als Vorgesetzter während der sog. Obersten-Affäre vor die Angeklagten. 1916-18 führte S. auch mit Frankreich Eventualallianzgespräche. Nach seinem Rücktritt am 30.6.1919 widmete sich S. wieder der Verwaltung der Familiengüter. Neben der Übernahme versch. öffentlicher Ämter engagierte er sich 1919 und 1920 gegen einen Beitritt der Schweiz zum Völkerbund und für die Beibehaltung der bewaffneten integralen Neutralität. Die Charakterisierung "Dieu et Patrie" (Oberst Fernand Feyler) trifft auf Vita und Lebensleistung der introvertierten, durch Religiösität geprägten und mit überragender Arbeitskraft dem Gemeinwesen dienenden Persönlichkeit von staatsmänn.

‎Berne : Commission Indépendante d'Experts Suisse - Seconde Guerre Mondiale; Berne : OFCL/OCFIM, 1999. 358 S. Originalbroschur.‎

‎Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - La politique d'asile de la Suisse entre 1933 et 1950 est depuis longtemps un thème central de la recherche historique. La discussion sur les «fonds en déshérence», qui est à l'origine des débats actuels, a toutefois révélé qu'on avait accordé trop peu d'importance jusqu'ici aux aspects relevant des finances et des droits patrimoniaux dans la politique pratiquée par la Suisse face aux réfugiés. Il convenait également de faire toute la lumière possible sur le refoulement des réfugiés et sur les conditions de séjour de ceux qui avaient été admis. Les chapitres 1 à 3 du présent rapport donnent un aperçu des connaissances actuelles sur la question. Le chapitre 4 traite essentiellement de l'exode, des renvois et de l'admission ainsi que des conditions de séjour des réfugiés. Le chapitre 5 aborde les aspects financiers et les droits patrimoniaux. Le chapitre 6, enfin, brosse les grandes lignes de la politique humanitaire de la Confédération. ISBN 3908661080‎

It is often thought Trenchard also assisted in the second part; however attributed solely to Moyle by BM Wing".<br />3 Somers ESTC r11547 WING S4642 <br />4 Trenchard ESTC r16213 There are 2 printings this one line 8 of title page has: 'Balancing'; there is no press-figure on p. 7; p. 15 has additional paragraph beginning: "Now Sir if a Parliament should subject all the Lands .". WING T2113 <br />5 Fletcher ESTC r5238 WING F1294</p><p>Following his invasion of England in 1688 the Glorious Revolution William of Orange became King William III and reigned jointly with his wife Mary. The English parliament's Bill of Rights of 1689 established a constitutional monarchy with extensive restrictions on the royal prerogative. One of those restrictions was that the Sovereign could not raise a standing army during peacetime without parliamentary consent. While William opposed such constraints he accepted them and chose not to engage in a conflict with Parliament. In the following years William was much engaged in European wars that ended with the Treaty of Ryswick in 1697.<br />The wars now over parliament to the king's displeasure decided to reduce the size of the army to 10000 men and later to 7000.<br />The ideological and political significance of the issue was argued out in a series of pamphlets of which these five are probably the most important on both sides of the issue. "The pamphlets . had a powerful effect upon the immediate controversy of 1697-99. The anti-army tracts moreover played a vital role in the formulation of an anti-army attitude which lived on in eighteenth century England and was transmitted along with many other ideas in liberal and republican seventeenth political thought to the American colonies. . Against the peacetime army were principally John Trenchard Walter Moyle Andre Fletcher of Saltoun the Rev. Samuel Johnson and John Toland. Arguing for the king's proposal were chiefly the lord chancellor John Somes and Daniel Defoe . Outstanding among the men who opposed the army was John Trenchard who may be regarded as the leader of the pamphleteers" Schwoerer.<br />Trenchard 1662 - 1723 educated at T.C.D. studied law in London and was a man of considerable wealth through inheritance and marriage. From initial support of the 1689 Revolution he became disenchanted with William and used his wide knowledge of sixteenth and seventeenth century republican political thought to oppose what he judged to be a potentially dangerous power grab by the monarchy. His Argument written in conjunction with Moyle the first pamphlet in this collection launched the debate and determined its parameters. Moyle's <em>Second Part</em> continued their argument. Somers apparently without great conviction argued for retention of a standing army and Trenchard in turn wrote a riposte.<br />Fletcher of Saltoun 1655 - 1716 Scottish writer patriot and politician had returned from European exile with William of Orange in 1688 but terminated his support when he judged that William also King of Scotland was only interested in using the country to help fight foreign wars. He like the other anti-army writers argued that history indicated a direct relationship between absolutism and a peacetime army. He perceived a decay in liberty around 1500 a product of economic and social changes that produced luxury and an abandonment of an old frugal military way of life. Such circumstances allowed defence of the realm to slip into the hands of princes who eliminated ancient rights and freedoms. England the last bastion of liberty faced following 'all the other kingdoms of Europe' along this path unless she avoided a standing army in peacetime.<br />Trenchard and his supporters the group of Whig religious political and economic reformers later sometimes Commonwealth men through their writings promoted republicanism in Britain. However while they were rejected in Britain their ideas were widely influential in British colonial America and on Republicanism in the United States.<br />Nathaniel Hornby or Horneby a London goldsmith and banker served as a Commissioner of Excise 1683 to 88 and in 1691. From the Restoration in 1660 to 1683 the state's excise was farmed out to investors willing to pay the government for the right to collect taxation. In 1683 a new group of Commissioners was chosen to be more efficient in collection than the foregoing. The Revolution of 1688/89 overturned the leadership of the excise branch and only 2 of the 7 Commissioners in office in Feb. 1688 survived a purge in April 1689 with most removed for political reasons. In 1684 when a remodelled department was considered "Sir John Somers whose influence was rising as the Whigs ascended recommended dismissal for virtually all of the commissioners. In particular he singled out Nathaniel Nornby and Thomas Aram who 'were such avowed Jacobites that there was nothing to be said for them'" Krenzke.<br />Nathaniel Hornby perhaps to provide himself with a bolt-hole far from London in the early 18th century rented a house and farm at Muff now Eglinton in Co. Londonderry from Ireland richest commoner and Speaker of the Irish parliament William Conolly himself a head tenant of the London Grocer's Company. Robert McCausland lived at Fruit Hill now Drenagh only a few miles from Muff and near Limavady. That estate was bequeathed to him on his death by William Conolly in 1729 and thereafter alternate eldest sons in the family were named Conolly. Modern McCausland family sources state that Robert was married to a daughter of Conolly but the latter was officially at least childless. Conolly did however support the families of his siblings which may be the connection. Evidently it was as neighbours that a rich London Jacobite banker came to know McCausland and present him with an important collection of pamphlets flagging the perils of creeping central power. From the inscription both men perceived the pamphlets as significant both in themselves and as a gift.<br />Lois G.
