A REAL DANGER
POISONING SWITZERLAND'S MIND. GERMAN AGENTS' LYING CALUMNIES. (TIMES AND SIDSIT IUN SERVICES) LONDON, Ist September. The Times correspondent state* that Switzerland is swarming with German agents, who are spreading lying calumnies with the object of persuading the Swiss that the Allies' cause is lost, and influencing the German Swiss to advise their fellow-countrymen to resist >the formation of an Import Trust. j The correspondent thinks thai, sup* posing Germany intends a fresh attack on Franco through Switzerland, it is conceivable that Switzerland might be influenced to withdraw her army from the first line of defence on the German side, which is some' way south of the actual frontier, thus leaving a broad, open corridor for the passage of German troops to France, south of Belfort. -At the present time, Switzerland is honestly neutral, and does not want war ; but, if the lying agents' persistent efforts convince the Swiss that the Allies mean to*- starve them and their industries, there is a real danger. (PRESS ASSOCIATION.) AMSTERDAM, Ist September. German newspapers are increasingly trying to create impression that Britain wants peace, as the issue of the 1 war is regarded as hopeless.
