The Plight of Switzerland.

With the entry of Italy into the
war in Europe. Switzerland becomes
entirely surrounded by fighting ma
tons. Herself strictly neutral. main
tanned by general agreement OF the
powers during long period as 4
buffer" state, She is forced by the
circumstances of war into situation
OF complete isolation. Her frontiers
arc crowded close by the bellig-
cnts. Where her territory touches
France and Germany on the north
she has several times suffered
from the hostilities between those
powers. Now on the southeast she
will be similarly adjacent to actual
conflict which cannot fail to inJurc
her. 1t is possible that through the
development OF the war she will be
hemmed in on all sides by actual coll
f1ict.
These conditions bear most grlev-
ously upon Switzerland. Her chlet
trade is that OF entertaining tourists,
MANY thousands of whom flock to her
each season for recreation. That
trade is now virtually destroyed.
Meanwhile she has been compelled.
out of a motive of humanity, to care
for many refugees from the fighting
zones, and the burden put thus upon
her is very heavy. Her manufactures
are such as to suffer seriously from
the plunging OF Europe into war, and
she is selling practically nothing to
the world. 1t has been necessary 20
keep a large force in arms since the
first days of the war. to prevent vio-
lations of her frontiers, and this has
put a heavy expense upon her.
1t is impossible to feel otherwise
than with the keenest sympathy for
this little nation of peace-loving peo-
pie. thus cruelty brought into a dis
tressing condition by a war for which
they are in no wise or degree respon-
sible, vet which has shut them off
from their ordinary sources of in
come and laid a burden of cost upon
them that they arc poorly prepared
to bear. ....

been stated that Becker will not ap-
peal to Gov. Whitman for even
communication of sentence, owing to
the fact that Whitman, as district at
torney of New York county. was his
prosecutor during both trials. Beck
er's crime, according to the verdicts
rendered against him, consisted of
conspiracy with hired assassins to
kill Herman Rosenthal, gambler,
who claimed to have been under po-
lice protection and who was about
to give evidence against the police to
the district attorney when he was as
sassinated. Already four men who
were directly involved in the killing
have been executed for the crime it
self. Beckcr's conviction was upon
testimony given by former stool
pigeon of the police. who was. it is
claimed. the emissary between Beck
or and the gunner in the plot against
Rosenthal. Two juries have taken
his testimony as trustworthy, and tho
higher courts have now failed to find
flaw in the process. The most des
pcratc efforts have been made to keep
Becker IRON the electric chair, but
apparently they arc doomed to fail
urc. II has been suggested that lie
may save his life by confession and
giving information that will lead to
a further clearance of New York of

The Italian Campaign.

The Italian campaign is progress
ing at present unchecked. with an
invasion of Austrian territory prac-
tically all along the frontier. The
chief advance is in the east, where
Italian troops have crossed the lson-
20 river, and have occupied Monfal-
cone. about eleven miles from the
frontier and twenty-one miles from
Trieste. 1t is obviously the intention
to invest the latter city. At the same
time Italian forces have crossed the
boundary north of Lake Cards and
at other points to the northeast with
the evident design of holding the
natural avenues OF approach against
a German force. Reports have come
OF heavy movements of troops south
ward through Innsbruck, which lies
about 1870 miles north of the frontier,
by rail. The Italians thus far have
met with little resistance, and it
would seem that the accounts pub
lished previous to the war declara-
ton telling of Austrian preparations
and the concentration of large forces
on the frontier to resist an Italian
onset were incorrect. If the Italians
can gain firm foothold in the passes
we'll inside of the boundary in large
force before the arrival of material
body of German or Austrian troops
they will have scored definite ad-
vantage at least in resistance against
invasion, while they are conducting
their expedition against Trieste.
