MANY THROUGH SWITZERLAND
(By Associated Press }

London, June 26. 6.-Enormous
quantities of foodstuffs are pouring
into Germany through Switzerland,
according to NJ. Jacques, a French
expert in international law.
1t seems that convention rati-
fed between France and Switzer>
land on July 26. 1914, provides that
in case of war, France shall supply
the federal government of Switzer-
land with 100000 tons of cereals
year. According to M. Dhur. 100
trucks each loaded with between
twelve and fifteen tons of cereals,
cross the French frontier every day
for the Cornavin station at Geneva,
while in ordinary times the monthly
exports did not exceed 1000 or
5000 tons At the same time enor-
nous quantities OF pctatocs, beans,
oil, and other vegetable products
are passing into Switzerland via
Pontarlier.
To prevent commerce in contra
band, all merchandise Is forwarded
to a particular department or pro-
vince of the Swiss confederation NJ
Dhur, in his Investigations of this
distribution, found that consider
able proportion Of the supplies went
to Angst, close to the frontier poin'
where the German and Swiss rail
way systems are linked up.
After a discussion of various al
legged methods of smuggling supplies
through to Germany, M 'Dhur add
that Germany has also been able u
revictual herself plentifully through
Italy. Merchandise was sent iron
an italian port to Switzerland, an
on it's way at Chiasso, between tn
Swiss and the Italian customs, TN

these foods were conveyed in col
