SWISS NEUTRALITY
WORRIES GERMANS

New York, Sept. 1S.-One of the
regular occupations of the German
pres consist in worrying about pos
sible violations OF Swiss neutrality
by the United States or the Allies.
For example, Die Post of Berlin
printed the following Berne dispatch
On July 29.
"St. Gall newspapers announce
that of late the American consulate
III st. Gall is providing the war re-
ports bulletined by that office with
headings, one of which reads: The
Huns Are Retiring Over the Marne.
Letters TO the newspapers protest
against such an unneutral proceed
ing and point cut that up till now
all the official foreign representa-
tives in st. Gall have preserved strict
neutrality in connection with pub
lcity in Switzerland. The st. Gall
papers report that an investigation
regarding violation of Swiss neu-
tarility has been begun"
The recent return to Switzerland
for brief period of Dr. Hans Sulzer,
the Swiss Minister at Washington,
caused the Munchener Post of July
81 to print a report from Berne
telling of the circulation in the AL
pine Republic of rumors to the ef-
feet that President Wilson had asked
Minister Sulzer to make trip to
Germany, either for the purpose of
Offering peace under certain condi-
tions or to make confidential in
quiries regarding the detailed peace
conditions of IN eCentral Powers
1t quoted the Geneva Feuille as say
ing that Minister Sulzer was SUP
ported in this mission by the swigs
Federal Council.

HOW PERSHING SURPRISED
GERMANS

With the French Armies in Lor-
raine, Sept. 17.-"It was one OF the
most successful operations in the
whole war;" said a distinguished Of
ficer to a correspondent yesterday
speaking of Pershing's great victory.
1.-THE attacks object was to reduce
the St. Mihiel salient. Well, that
not only has been done, but the
sides have been pinched so effi-
ciently that the junction was ef-
a total bag of prisoners that when all
fected in less than thirty hours, with
are rounded up, will exceed even
1900.
1.-The fact is that the boches were
taken completely by surprise. They
expected the attack, but didn't ex'
pect It so soon. And what's more
they never expected that it would
be delivered with such dash ano
vigor. I cannots say too much Of
the conduct of the American troops
They were magnificent.

A PATRIOTIC DUTY
Advice Of Director McAdoO to Rail
way Employees Classed as Es-

Washington, Sept. 17.-All rail
way employees in the classes declared
by the Railroad Administrator es-
sential to proper operations were in
structed today by Director General
McAdoo to claim deferred draft
classification as patriotic duty and
to furnish the district boards with
the necessary information in their
answers to the questionnaires to
show the basis for such Classification
Explaining the reasons for asking
the exemptions Mr.. McAdoo de-
clared "ther is no surplus whatever
of employees for running the rail
roads and there is no surplus of la
Dor from which new employees can
be drawn to replace those who may
be taken for the military service"
eve are all striving for the same
| end continued Mr.. McAdoo, "and
that is to wi nthe war. To the ex-
tent that railroad men can be spared
from railroad service for military
service we ought to spare them.
But to the extent that they are
needed for railroad service the dis
trict boards should not attempt to
take them for military service"
