SWITZERLAND E INVADED BY WILD
 PIGS OF GERMANY

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland.- Switzerland is fighting desper- ately against German invasion.
 The invaders are wild pigs.
 Hordes of wild pigs from the Black Forest are fleeing from the attacks of hungry Germans and crossing Switzerland's northern frontier
 Swiss farmers complain that in the agricultural districts of the can ton of Schaffhausen, north of the Rhine River, the German pigs have done incalculable damage to crops.
 Since meat is not rationed in Switzerland, the townspeople have little incentive to roam the hills in search of edible wild pork. Apart from occasional hunting expeditions organized by the local farmers. the German invaders have found Swift zerland a haven of refuge, and have shown no desire to return to their native pastures.
 Demands for vigorous Swiss &C., tion to wipe out the invaders are being made by rural communities in the canton of Schaffhausen. The question even threatens to become a political issue in the cantonal as- sembly of Schaffhausen, where non- government deputies are accusing the cantonal government of negli- gence in protecting Swiss territory against the pig invasion. The gov ernment claims, on the other hand, that all possible measures have been taken.
