SAYS SWITZERLAND IS SAFE.
Nc Danger of German Invasion. Says
Alder.

BERNIE. Dec. 2i--PubIic opinion in
France may toe treasured regarding tlc
report in circulation in that country
that an Austro-German offensive
through Switzerland Is in preparation,
Gustave Ador, Swiss Foreign Minister,
told the correspondent OF the Paris
Petit journal yesterday.
My sincere personal opinion, said
NJ. Ador, 'iS that we need not have
the slightest fear of such an attempt.
Germany has other things to do on the
western front than get the Swiss army
on her back, and from the economic
point Of view Germany has ever in
tercst not to make an enemy of Swift
zerland.

OrioinaI ANYHOW.

Macaulay said Of Horace Walpole:
Ills mind was a bundle of incOnsist-
ont whims and Alterations; his fea-
lures were covered by masks within
masks. When the outer disguise Of
obvious affectation was removed you
were still as far as ever from see
ing the real man. Thackeray oh
served of the letters: "Fiddles sing
all through them; wax lights, fine
dresses, fine jokes, fine plate, fine
cqupages glitter and sparkle there"
But there is much in the great cor
respondent of Strawberry Hill be-
sides whim and gimcrackery, as a few
sentences chosen almost at random
from his letters will show. His views
are distinctly his own.
