Received 2.10 p.m. to-day. LONDON, Nov. ’4. The Times’s Geneva correspondent says that Swiss military circles are nervous regarding the Italian army’s construction of a strategic road leading to the San Giacomo Pass, connecting Italy with the' Swiss canton of Ticino, Colonel Weber, ex-commandant of engineers, points out that the road f will enable troops in swift motor terries, starting from Domodossola, to occupy Swiss fortifications in the St. Gothard Pass before the Swiss can be mobilised. Many believe that while Fascists are not hostile to Switzerland, they regard Ticino as a lost province, and hope at some time to annex it.
