DESERTER PROBLEM
TROUBLE FOR SWISS

Zurich,-(Correspondent Of the As
ISOLATED Press ALI Switzerland Is
amazed at the audacity Of some four
hundred deaerters from various adj
Joining countries who. In solemn con-
clave, ,have,protested violently against
the measures recently adopted by the
authorities for controlling the unde-
sirable stranger element in the coun-
try.
Switzerland had believed that its
measures-the requirement of bond
from those who had fed to the repub-
tic to escape military duty, enforced
labor or internment In case Of unde-
sirable conduct, etc.-were unusually
lenient, and regret has been express
ed in many quarters that the powers
that be had not seen fit to take sharp
err steps against a stratum of the pop
ulation which is looked upon here as
a necessary evil.
The Zurich deserters. however,
many IL not most Of them Of the an
archistic type, have adopted and sent
broadcast through Switzerland a res
olution which calls the attention Of
the Socialist party TO denunciation Of
deserters, declares that the measures
taken to control deserters here are
caused by the "capitalist!c character
Of the state, and are due to fear lest
the example Of the desertera in refus-
ing military service TO their respec-
tive countries may strengthen the
anti-miIitary spirit among the work
ing classes.
The deserters recommended that
the problem be solved, not by laws
against the deserters or for their con-
troll, but by the alteration Of exist
ing citizenship laws so that all for
eigners here would be embraced by
them.
The resolution concludes with an
appeal to the Socialist party to take
up the matter at once and do all in
/ its power to solve the foreigner ques-
! ton along this last line And the So
cialist papers. nearly If not all Of them
Of the violent, semi-anarchistic type,
have made themselves more unpopular
than ever by espousing the cause Of
the deserters.
Aside from the resentment which
the conservative press and citizenship
| express at the action OF the undesira-
BILE or at least unlimited guests in
| Switzerland in attempting to dictate
| the treatment which they shall re-
eeive, The affair nrouses the gravest
fears that it will give impetus to a
movement to'encourage the refusal to
do military duty in defense Of Switzer-
land neutrality.

1t has been suggested that it is about
time that Salem puts on big patriotic
parade. The parade in Portland yester-
day was a great showing of patriotism
with all the stores closed during the

demonstrations but as yet the capital
city has done nothing.

school children who wish to cultivate
gardens and so help in meeting the food
situation, Governor Withycombe has
