It is to be a long war Russia testines TO this. The
conditions on nearly all the battle fronts testify to IT,
Germany has finally got to be licked in Germany
Thus far our government, largely, merely has asked
Il will have to compel and commander.
II the above assertions true the wise manufacturer
who is geared up to produce only non-essentals will

people confront the necessity facing foreign peoples
it will be a different business

were going to strike at Germany by
crossing through Switzerland.
Even the Swiss General Willie made
this statement:
In consequence Of the armed inter

next spring there will be a new and
considerable development in the war
which will mark its last phase. II this
be the case, the danger OF our being
dragged into the melee will be greater
than ever. We must prepare for such
an eventuality.'

delight by all the pro-German Swiss

of the dissenting voices was that OF lie

pro-Frencb city Of Geneva, which In

How serious this German propa-

things that were done within the past
few davs to block it:
THE American minister gave the
solemn assurance to Switzerland that
we and the allies would respect her
neutrality so long as she herself
maintained it and the enemy respected
it.
