And from all that can be CLEANED from
carefully censored cabcgrams, this appears
to be what Gen. Cadorna is up against
now.
The allies are rushing supplies. Altho
the situation may still be saved, this would
seem to be poor time to be rushing any
thing-to Italy. The supplies should
have been there long ago.
The lesson for the allies is that abso-
lutte coordination among themselves is cs-
sental if the Germans are to be effectively
checked at an early date.

In the meantime, presumably, the ltal-

out those supplies. Which consist in what?
For the time being shells primarily, say the

statesmen indicated unless coal and food,
as we'll as shells, were hurried to them, it
would be impossible for Gen. Cadorna's

Misrepresentation and other factories

All those things an army in the field is

1t is all very well to be sending troops

SWISSIN CRISIS
WITH GERMANY
Resent Berlin Demand for
$5O,O00,OO0 Gold Loan and
Coal Stoppage Threat.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Intimations of
tween the Imperial German Government
and the Government of Switzerland
reached the State Department officially
to-day.
The crisis has been precipitated by
German demand upon Switzerland for a
loan. said to be $50 100000 gold, and
German threat to cease all coal imports
into Switzerland until the amount Is
paid.
Switzerland resents the demand on the
ground it is extortion. Swiss officials
have appealed to Entente diplomats for
advice. and the Swiss Government has
taken steps to apprise President wilson
of what is happening.
There are evidences of a determina-
tion on the part of the Kaiser ana the
German war party to strike terror into
the hearts of neutral countries contigu-
Gus to the German Empire on the ground
that this is the sureet means OF keeping
these nations from listening to British
proposals aimed At tightening the plock-
ade, Diplomatic advices indicate that
this subject has been taken up In re-
cent conferences between the German
Emperor and his war lords, and that
new, threatening policy Is being enforced
by German diplomacy.
Switzerland particularly has come
into disfavor with the German war lead
ers because OF the ousting OF pro-Ger-
man Government officials, the bargain
made by Switzerland with France TO pre-
vent foodstuffs from reaching Germany
and the refusal OF Switzerland to permit
the Socialist leader Grimm to remain
tool of the German peace propagandists
in Russia.
The German Foreign ONCE, 1t now de-
yelops, has been watching with growing
concern the lukewarmness OF the SWISS
toward the active propaganda which had
ita headquarters in Berne. 1t was the
spread of this pro-Entente feeling which
caused the Swiss Government to recall
Or. Paul Ritter, the Swiss Minister at
washington, when 1t became evident that
he was assisting Germany
,rhe demand for a loan appears to be
the first step in a new policy OF frmness
which Germany Is trying to enforce on
the Swiss. Switzerland cannot spare
gold to loan to Germany, and II Is fully
realIzed in Berne that the Entente and
the United States will not look with
favor on the move. But Germany de-
nands II as a condition for coal ship
ments into Swiss territory, and the coal
is urgently needed.
Al the state Department to-day It was
said that no decision had been reached
as TO what immediate steps the United
States might take toward helping the
SwIsa 1t is understood British and
| French statesmen are considering means
Of helping Switzerland. The nrst step
may be to arrange for giving the Swiss
coal supply from some source other
| than Germany. II this can he arranged
there are assurances that the Swiss aii-
| thorities will tell Germany to keep her
coal and to cease further peremptory
demands.
Diplomats here say that the German
aggressive attitude toward Switzerland
1 may mean the complete alienation OF
| Swiss sympathy for Germany, They
predict that Switzerland will be the first
! OF the neutral nations contiguous Il
| Germany to join the Entente cause
