Allies Massing for Attack,
Fear Foe Will Strike
in Switzerland
lBy cable 70 m. T1bvnsl

London, Jan. 10. Feyer'sh prepara-
tions are going on along the West front
for what both sides expect to be the
greatest battle in history. The signal
for the outbreak depends on the
weather man chiefly.
Interest here and in France centres
in the possibility Of a German invasion
Of Switzerland for the purpose #
striking at the French army in Alssce
as part Of the coming struggle. Dis
patches from Berne say that General
Ulrich Willie, commander IN chief Of
The Swiss army, formally has proposed
mobilization Of all Swtzerland's mill
tary forces
Despite his recent utterances that
he believed Switzerland was safe from
invasion, apparently he has become
alarmed at the concentration Of Ger
man troops along the Swiss border.
The Swiss Federal Council. however,
regards the situation as free from
grave danger though il has so far
agreed with Willie as TO mobilize the
I'd. 3th and 9Th divisions OF the army.
u is considered possible AZ Bcrne, how
ever. that further units will be called
to the colors soon.
The seeming optimism OF the Swiss
governing council is hardly shared IN
Allied circles here and in France. 70
which the violation Of Swiss neutrality
would come as no distinct surprise.
Reports persist that German forces
are being massed across the line from
Basel and that strategic railroad is
being hurriedly constructed IN that
sector. The belief is strong In French
military quarters that the Germans
have made all plans for an attack OF
unprecedented violence on the French
lines in Alsace, between Basel and Bel
fort. and it is realized that such a
move presuppOses the invasion OF
Switzerland.
From the "Kolnische Zeitung's" cor
respondent AZ the Cront comes word
that without the slightest douo,
mighty accunlations OF war materis!
and important shifting OF troops is
taking place" behind the Allied front.

Surgeons Nomination
Will Not Be Confirm
ed, Senators Say

Washington. Jan. 10. Strong opposl-
tion developed to-day among Repub-
lican Senators against confirming Pres
ident Wilson's nomination of DR.. Cary
T. Grayson, his naval aid and physi-
clan. for promotion from the grade OF
lieutenant commander to rear admiral
over the heads of 127 ranking officers
Of the nayy's medical corps.
Some Of the Republican leaders say
that the nomination never will be con-
ilmcd and others that there will be a
vigorous fight against it,
Ono Of the five nominations for new
rear admirals sent in yesterday. that
Of Chief Naval Constructor David W.
Taylor. was confirmed soon after it
was received Action on the others
viii be delayed
The Navy League protested to-day
against the nomination of DR.. Grayson.
Advance copies Of an editorial TO ap-
pear in "Sca Power" the Navy League
magazine. said that the appointment
was "scandalous' and an "iudeccncy.
objection also was made to the ele-
walton Of Paymastcr McGOwan, Cher
Of Yards and Docks Harris aud Sur
geon General Braisted to the same
rank. These three were jumped from
j. to % numbers each. DR.. Grayson
was jumped l27 numbers.
The only good appointment in the
list, according TO the league, was that
of Chief Constructor Taylor to be rear
admiral Constructor Taylor's promo
ton was meant TO give the list re
spectability,' it, is alleged.
"Hc is the foremost constructor in
the world to-day" the editorial says,
"and his services to his country should
have spared him the insult Of having
his name used as deodorizer."
Vigorous Criticism
The editorial, which is headed ~
Betrayal Of Trust follows in part:
"The batch Of nominations Of five
admirals sent TO the Senate January
Is cannot be characterized as anything
less than scandalous. II is particular
ly Objectionable that this vile thing
was done IS soon as Admiral Dewey's
voice was hushed, else would it have
been raised to prevent the perpetra-
ton Of such an infamy.
"Thc subtlety and studied character
Of this betrayal Of the navy TO the in
trigue Of personal politics is accenu-
ated by the fact that some names we're
included in the list with the purpose
Of giving it respectability. David w.
Taylor was named. He is the foremost
constructor In the world to-day and
his services TO his country should have
spared him the insult OF having his
name used as a deodorizer.
Let US discuss frankly the case Of
DR.. Grayson. He entered the service
in 1904, and after twelve years Of duty
OF which perhaps the most arduous
part has been carrying the White
House shawl strap, he Is promoted 70
the rank Of rear admiral with all the
pay and emoluments which go with
that honored rank, usually conferred
as a reward for long and worthy SER
vice.
"He is jumped over the heads Of
men who have done their legitimate
duty on ships and in the fever fens
OF the tropics. He passes over 1870
of these and is given life position
with a higher permanent rank than
