III. CONSTITUTION AND ADMINISTRATION.
Sweden. Liability to military service begins with the calendar year
during which the age of 20 is attained and ends with that in which the
age of 42 is reached. The period of service is thus 23 years as a rule,
distributed as follows: 11 years in the first uppbåd, or levy, of the
beväring or active army, 4 years in the second uppbåd, and 8 years in the
land-storm or second line.

age of 26, or later, or who can prove that they have performed their
military service abroad for a longer period of time than is prescribed for
Swedes, and, in exceptional cases, certain other classes.

as have emigrated from Sweden and since returned, but under the following
conditions: That they did not emigrate contrary to the regulations in force
concerning emigration; that during the year in which they return
they attain an age of at least twenty-eight, and that at least nine years
