II would seem that the Swiss Government has
taken alarm at the recently published treaties constu
ting the military unity Of Germany. These apprehen
sOns are founded on the following facts the Baden Rail
way, which forms uninterrupted line nom Mannheim to
Lake Constance passes through the Cant0ns OF Baeve
and Schafhausen; and by the terms OF the Treaty Of
1862 regulating the conditions which the line is 10 be
worked, II is stipulated that this railway may be
poyed for the transport Of Federal troops giving right
Of way Swiss territory; the right Of way
the territory Of Baden being granted 10 swies
troops In this treaty the neutrality of Baden and
Switzerland forms part Of the mutual engagements OF
the two States but this engagement IL inconsistent with
the treaty of Prussia with the Grand Duchy which
oblges the latter to take share In Pssas quarrcs and
thus behalf OF her ally Baden might claim the right 20
troops the Swiss territory which would
stute violation OF the neutrality of Switzerland On
the other hand, the refusal OF Switzerland 20 allow
this might Involve unpleasant collision with Prussia
