Swiss Neutrality Safe.

BASLE, Sept. 21-Switzerland feels sure that after the lesson given the Germans by Belgium, Germany will not dare to violate Swiss nuetralfty while her strong army of 250, 900 lines the frontiers. The Swiss government is allowing the Landsturm to return to their homes gradually and probab- ly the Landwehr also.
 Switzerland is losing $300,000 day by it's general mobilization, as she cannot look forward to any war in- demnity. and the financial sacrifice for such a small nation is very heavy. Both the United States and England have indirectly promised to aid the Alpine republic later by facilitating Swiss loans in these countries.
