UNIQUEPLAN
TO KEEP PEACE
Little Republic, in Event of
European War. Wants to Be
Made Into Red Cross Camp
Is ONLY HOPE OF
PRESERVING IDENTITY
Nation Thus Seeks TO Provide
Against Being Crushed by
Surrounding Powers

BERNIE, Switzerland. Jan. 3.-ln
the near future Switzerland viii very
likely present to the powers a re-
quest that IN the event OF a great Flu
ropesn war. all of Switzerland. be con
stituted into Red Cross camp for
the care of the wounded OF all the ma
lions involved This, Switzerland is
now convinced, is the only way that
not only her neutrality but her very
existence could be preserved.
Although the neutrality OF Switzer-
land Is guaranteed by the leading
power, The Swiss government has re-
Gently become convinced that unless
she has some actual way OF insisting
on the respecting OF this neutrality
thai In war between any OF the
four great powers surrounding her
this guarantee would amount TO very
little. In addition she is also con
yinced that the first step in any Eu-
ropean war would be the prohibition
by all the powers involved % the eX-
ports OF coal and provisions which
they would need for their own armies.
AS switzerland is entirely dependent
on the surrounding powers not only
for her coal. but for her grain and
practically all her food supply. the
cutting Off OF these imports would
reduce the entire country 10 starva-
ton within few weeks.
II Is in the hopes of eXacting a
guarantee from all OF the four pow
ers surrounding her not to interrupt
these imports i'm case OF war that
Switzerland is considering the pro-
ject OF having the entire country de-
clared great international Red
Cross camp, and 10 undertake the
care OF the wounded of all nations in
the event of any general European
~ sar----4 eaa AeFs-e -t4fe-S4piss-
ment who are backing the movement
declare that this would not only in
sure for Switzerland the neutrality
and all of the protection that is ac-
corded by international agreement TO
the Red Cross camps in time OF war,
but it would also insure that her in
dustries would not be ruined by the
cutting off of the coal supply and her
population reduced TO starvation by
the stopping OF food imports.
The treaty 10 be submitted to the
powers will provide that as fast as
the wounded are cured, they will be
returned TO their respective coun-
tries This. Switzerland is convinced
would be OF enough importance to
any OF the powers engaged in a Eu
ropean war 10 make certain that
none of them would violate her neu
trality by crossing the boundary with
one OF it's armies or interfere with
her food supply.

A QUESTION OF CASTE
BY BELLE MANDATES.

There was no reason. apparently,
why these two people, Carter Johns
and Cleo Rivers. should not have pur-
sued their friendship openly and free
ly, but they had met in a most uncon-
ventional way, and there seemed to be
tacit, though unspoken. agreement
between them that their meetings
should be clandestine.
Cleo was naturally interested and
excited when she found the house
next to theirs, which had been vacant
for so long, had been sold and was
TO be occupied.
Her first surreptitious inspection Of
one member of the new family was
from a window overlooking their back
yard.
Johns, tall and straight. was critic
ally examining and testing a stupen-
dous touring car.
Cleo's heart beat pleasurably. She
was a born coquette, and presently.
attired in the most delectable of
white-embroidered linen gowns, white
shoes and chiffon hat. she sauntered
into the back garden and began pick
ing some flowers. Eventually she
gave a sidelong glance. Cleo was not
conventional.

With eager haste and thanks he
