BERNE, SWITZERLAND. Dec. ~.
From ''The Playground of Europe"
of before the war. Switzerland has be-
come The Plotting Ground of Eu-
rope" of after the war.
And all of this plotting may now be
summarized in one general end OF
1.-THE Constitution of a Danubian Con
federation"
To the credit of the Swiss it must
be said that they resent in the ex-
treme degree the abuse that is now
being made of their country ad their
hospitality by the eXiled rulers and
statesmen of erstwhile empires and
states, but they are as helpless in the
matter as they are innocent. While
they can not keep their little country
from being converted into an incuba-
tor. however. they can at least try to
keep the plots being brooded therein
from actually Matching. and the Swiss
secret service together with its gend-
armes. its policemen. its detectives
and its public officials generally are
putting in quite few sleepless nights
to this end.
In fact, there is every reason TO pre-
sumo that they are losing more sleep
trying to keep the plots from Matching
than the plotters are in trying to make
them hatch Exiled statesmen and
rulers have to keep busy; plotting is
life itself to ex-statesmen and ex-dip-
1omats. and it is entirely possible that
Switzerland is taking the plotting that
is going on within her borders about
100 times more seriously than are the
plotters themselves. In any event,
both are keeping busy.
Now that gradual readjustment of
Europe has left no doubts in the
minds OF certain exiled ruler like Ex-
King Constantine of Greece and some
OF the former rulers of German states
of the hopelessness of their causes. all
of the plotting in Switzerland has
come slowly TO center on one great
scheme. scheme that is not only con
sidered possible. but that is consid-
cred by many of the greatest minds
and authorities of Europe as being alb
solutely imperative and inevitable

CAME! PIKE SOLDIERS
 i HOLD UP CHAUFFEUR; 10 "HO0SG0W"
Chief King and M. P.'s Arrest Quartet Who Attempted
 to Go "Over Hill"

Two soldiers from Camp Pike, giv- ing their names as Smith and Hen- dricks, who held up Little Rock taxi driver few miles from Pine Bluff on the Dollarway road early yesterday morning and robbed him i of $17, were arrested here about 4 o'clock yesterday morning by J. w. King, night chief of police, with the assistance of four sergeants of mili- tary police from Camp Pike. The driver of the taxi, B. w. Fewall, stated the two men chartered the taxi in Little Rock, to come to Pine Bluff. During the trip, he told them he had revolver in the door pocket in the car, and that they also should be armed, as the territory be- tween Pine Bluff and Little Rock had been the scene of numerous robber- ies. Stopping the car seven miles from Pine Bluff for something, he stepped out of the car, only to look into the muzZle of his own revolver in the hand of one of the soldiers. They then robbed him of $17, after which they made him turn around and make off to Little Rock
 The two soldiers then came on to Pine Bluff. Meanwhile, the taxi driver had driven back to Little Rock and reported the matter to the mili- tary authorities who immediately dispatched four burly M. P.- ser geants to locate the two soldiers.
 Chief King being notified, began a search for the two, which ended when he found them asleep in the Y. M. c. A. One of them was sleep ing with the revolver belonging to the taxi driver under his head, with his hand on the butt. The pair was awakened to be met by the gen. tie glances and dulcet tones of the M. P.'s who gently informed them that it was the "hoose gow" for them, and the party returned early this morning to Camp Pike.
 The two soldiers told the local officers that they had grown tired of the army, and were in the act of de- serting when they engaged the taxi to come to Pine Bluff. The hold-up was incidental to the desertion, as they needed money, and the proximi- ty of the taxi drivers pistol, and the belief that he had money furnishing the proper suggestion and en,,;.--,7,1 7,1t for that detail of the attempted flight lover the hill.'
