SwisS Government Drives
VioLators OF Neutrality
Back to Their DUN Lands

Berne, Switzerland, Jan. 1.-The
Swiss government has decided to ex-
pei all agitatOrs who violate the strict
neutrality Of the republic. This step
is principally caused by the prOpa-
ganda of French agents, who are try
ing TO foment a movement in the
French speaking cantons- Within the
last 10 days seven Of these agitators
have been politely but firmly invited
to leave Switzerland as quickly as
possible
The government has also expelled
three German newspaper cOrrespon-
dents who were accused Of sending IN
neutral articles to papers in Berlin and
other German cities

Iron Cross SaDes Life
OF General; Money Roll
Keeps Baron From Death

Vienna, Austria, Jan PROF. I.
Hofer, chief surgeon OF one Of the AUS
TRAN army corps, at the last meeting
Of the Vienna Medical society reported
q number Of remarkable escapes of
officers and soldiers struck by bullets
or fragments OF shells.
Mai. Gen. Felix, while directing bat
tie on the eastern front was stunned
by a violent blow against his chest
The general dropped to the ground for
a moment and when he regained his
lenses he found that a rifle ball had
smashed the iron cross on his breast
His life was saved by the iron cross
and a large silver coin which he car
Eied in his breast pocket
Baron Medalsl1y, a captain of one OF
the Austrian reserve cavalry regiments.
was saved by a large roll Of banknOtes.
He did not even know that he had been
hit until. several hours after the bat
tie he found a flattened bullet embed
ded IN his torn roll Of money.
While Lieut. Traeger Of the 99th
Austrian infantry regiment was OBJ
serving one Of the Russian positions
in Galicia a bullet tore his spyglass
from his hands and his eyeglasses from
his nose, but he was not hurt
Joseph Sworoneck. a corporal OF the
Fsame regiment, was struck by Il bull
let's from a Russian machine gun, but
in the hospital the surgeons found that
none OF his wounds was dangerous. He
recovered completely in less than three
weeks.
On the Isonzo front. Franz Hagerer,
q Tyrolean soldier, was shot in the
chest and within four weeks returned
10 the firing line. That he escaped
alive he owes to the lucky fact that
the muscles of his heart were in a
state OF contraction when the bullet
struck him. A fraction of a second
later, at the expansion of the heart
he would have been killed instantly.

ALLIES CANNOT
STARVE GERMAN
NATION, CLAIM
Foresight and Frugality
Makes Hunger Unknown
Among the People.
ARMIES OPEN UP
NEW FOOD SUPPLY

II ERLIN, Germany, Jan. The
attempt OF the allies to starve
Germany into surrender is a COM
plete failure" says the ''Frankfurter
Zeitung"
The German nation Will not be con-
quered by hunger. because there is no
hunger. OF course, we have to get
along without many things which were
formerly considered necessities and
we are short Of fodder, but there is
sufficient food for the whole nation.
We have bread enough and the fact
that the entire grain harvest is I'M
der government control guarantees
just distribution. Some mistakes have
undoubtedly been made, but in the tu-
ture rich and poor will be provided for
alike.
The bread allowance has already
been raised by One-eighth and a further
increase may confidently be expected
shortly. as the stocks Of wheat and rye
are much larger than the first caleula-
tons after the harvest seemed to
show We manage wisely what we
have. squander nothing, and make use
Of many things that formerly were left
unnoticed. Our supply Of potatoes IS
larger than ever before in the history
Of the empire and we have more than
enough vegetables. fruit and sugar.
Plenty of Meat on Hand.
When the war broke out we had
-, 000. coo heads of cattle and 22.50O,OOO
of swine, or more than any other Euro
pean country, even Russia not except
ed. Lack of fodder compelled US last
fall and winter to reduce our livestock,
but during surfing and summer enor-
nous new masses of cattle and swine
were raised and we are therefore as
well off today as at the beginning Of
hostilities.
Armies Open Way
Even if our own food supply would
not be sufficient. we would have moth
ing to fear, because our armies have
opened the road for the import Of
more products Of field and garden
There is always a large supply OF
Ioodstuffs in southeastern Europe and
Asia Minor and these enormous sup
plies can now easily be brought 10
