All Americans Reported
Safe in Switzerland

The American legation in switzer-
land today informed the State De-
partment that IL was having difficulty
In communicating with Americans in

that the Swiss government was al
most monopolizing the telephone and
telegraph system with official busi-
ness. and that 1t was hard to get pri-
Ivate messages through. All Ameri-
cans who could be reached were re-
ported safe. the dispatch said.

The fishing from Forty Foot Rock, on
the Potomac above the Three Sisters, ID
excellent. You can fish all day II you
want to, and no one will stop you. but
much moro benefit may be taken by re-
turning to the thick bushes, DOMINIC q

series Of plunges into the river.
Leave your fishing tackle in the
canoe or boat, or in Washington. and
the safest kind Of an alibi will be at
your service.
The old fishermen along the river are
Disguised. Seldom, II ever. say they,
has the fishing been as poor as II is at
present. They are loyal souls, and
with clinging hope predict that there
will be better times ahead. not realiz-
ing that they have predicted this nearly
every day for several months.
"Yassuh." said an old darby fisher
man, "deese hyah fishes Is all gone to

You amt gwine to no war; youse gwine

up, cast into the river, lighted his old
corncob pipe and settled back to await
