Of his post, Sandy slipped out and un-
snapped the chain from the Crown
Princes collar and let him loose in
a little batch Of trees. Then he come
and got lot of US fellows to hide and
watch what was going to happen.
Well in about two minutes the
guard thought he heard funny noise
over there in the clump of trees and
he brung his gun down and stood
still. Not hearing anything more he
made another round but just as he
got at the edge Of the trees he heard
the noise again.
This time he brought his gun down
and said in an awful scared voice.
who is there?"
There wasn't any answer but just
a little rustling in the trees. Well for
two or three days we had been talk
ing about German spies watching how
the training of our draft army was
coming on and I guess this boy was
pretty well fed up on it. for he hol-
Tered out again and then he said.
Come on out Of there you damn spy
or I'll shoot"
Well it sounded just like some spy
was slipping up on him so he let go
with his gun, firing five shots. And
when the guard come and Investigated
the poor Crown Prince looked like a
niece of Swiss cheese-same being my
idea of what all Crown Princes ought
to look like.

HARD FOR SWISS
TOSTAY NEUTRAL
Troubles of Nation Described
by Charles G. Morgan, Jr.,
From Bern.

Despite the efforts Switzerland Is
making to remain neutral. that coun-
try either will be drawn into the war
or will suffer internal troubles IL the
world struggle is not over by next
winter, in the opinion Of Charles q.
Morgan. jr.. who has Just returned to
his homo In Washington from Bern.
where he was in the diplomatic serv-
ice.
Mr.. Morgan resigned his position in
the nations foreign service to get in
the fighting and has already made ap-
plication for the aviation branch Of
the Navy.
Coal Shortage Worries.
So acute was the coal shortage in
Switzerland last winter. said Mr.. Nor
gan. that the people OF that country
probably will grow restless IL they
are forced to endure the same condi-
tions next winter.
According to the former attache at
the American legation at Bern, the
only way the people of Switzerland
could secure coal last winter was by
purchasing stock in certain corpora
tfons, the profits of which went into
German war loans. Families could
secure a small amount of coal for
cooking purposes. but practically none
for heating, he said.
The coal shortage Is only one Of a
hundred ways in which the people OF
neutral Switzerland are feeling the
effects Of the war. because Of the fact
that their country was SO largely de-
pendent on the nations at war for
necessities Of life.
