SWISS SEE
GERMAN PERIL
There Is Danger Now of In
vasion of German
Troops
ALLIES TO BE CALLED
ON TO HELP RESIST 1T
If Germany Makes Such a
Move and in Such Event
Enters Switzerland

Washington, March l5-The war dan
ger has now come close to Switzerland
and that little republic no longer, APP.
parently, feels assured that il is safe in
its neutral position. II was said in
Washington yesterday that officials of
the American state department do not
believe there is any real satisfaction in
Switzerland over the form of assurances
neutrality will be respected and that
they look for no communication on the
subject, Since the American note was
dispatched in December nothing has
come to Indicate that it was not well re-
ceived
II was believed yesterday that Swift.
zerland might have preferred more UNI
equivocal assurance that the country
would not be invaded by America or the
allies even though German troops en-
tered Swiss territory. Such assurance
was not given, America and the allies
leaving the way open to enter and meet
German forces if they should attempt to
pass through Switzerland to attack the
entente armies.
The attitude of Switzerland that it is
her right to deal with any invading force
by herself, calling on the allies for aid
only if she deems it expedient is regard
ed here as largely academic. In any
event it is regarded as certain that the
allies win be called upon to help resist
Swiss invasion if Germany makes such
a move and the allies and America can
see no objection to the phrasing of their
assurances.
