WHAT OF SWITZERLAND?
AMERICA ASKING QUESTIONS.
Received August 15, 5.5 p.m. WASHINGTON, August 14. The State Department announces that the Swiss police raided the "Freie Zeitung" because it endorsed President Wilson's war attitude. If the Swiss Government defends the police, diplomatic complications are expected. It is known that a number of Swiss newspapers are openly supporting Germany more strongly than the "Freie Zeitung" defended the Allies and America. If the Swiss Government gives a free hand to pro-German comments and sups presses pro-American comments, Switzerland's neutrality will be questioned.
