GERMANY MAY JUMP
ON SWITZERLAND ALSO
Threat Is Impending Because
of Republics Refusal to
Make a Loan
WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, Aug. S-Germany
may try to trample Switzerland under
foot and swing her armies around the
southern end of the west front. unless
the mountain republic yields to Teuton
opportunities for loan.
That is the dismal prospect interna-
tional authorities saw today in Ger
many's pressure for gold in return for
coal supplied Switzerland. Should such
a situation come IL would mean great
reimbursement of existing battle lines
and while perhaps not fatal, 1t would at
least be discouraging to the west front
situation.
The fact that Switzerland is resisting
the loan proposal came as a surprise
here. Switzerland, composed of Ger
man, French and Italian stock chiefly,
is regarded pro-German. and Germany
several months ago used her as 60
between to make a pseudo peace ofrer TO
the United States. In the circum-
stances, authorities here are not entire
ly able to fathom the present situation.
Incidentally there has been sugges-
ton here that the United States would
do we'll to swing her forces into the
fanking Switzerland. Such a move,
experts hold, would tend to keep Swift
zerland in line, inasmuch as the influence
of her sister republic would probably
prevent her being to friendly with Ger
many.
Aside from the possibilities that Ger
many will strike Switzerland II she
stands firm in her refusal. authorities
here point out that Germany's demands
for loan indicate the growing financial
strain within the empire. Further evil
dence came recently in state department
advices showing there had been some de-
crease in Germany's gold reserve-a
thing hitherto unknown.
With a drain going on, the pressure
sooner or later will become too much
for Germany and she will collapse nat
urally, say the experts.
