ITALIANS CROSS BORDER
INTO ITALIAN SWITZERLAND.
TO EVADE CONSCRIPTION. TALK OF ANNEXATION. (Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 11.20 a.m.) Geneva, August 9. As the result of a steady stream of deserters escaping from Italy into the Italian speaking districts of Switzerland,, the frontier guards have been strengthened and the i usual exits carefully watched. Many are using wild mountain tracks and risking their lives, while others are secretly crossing the lakes at night to escape being drafted to Abyssinia. The Swiss Government is gravely concerned about the propaganda in the.Ticino district for union with Italy, and has chargecLthe journalists Signor Colombo and Signoriiia Bontempt with high treason because they carried on a campaign in favour of Italy annexing Italian Switzerland.
