SWISS SENTIMENT
REVULSION OF FEELING AGAINST GERMANY London, March 18. The Swiss correspondent of the "Times" says: "At the'commencement of the war the Swiss were inclined to favour Germany. They, speak a common language, and havo German blood in their i veins, German, clothes on tlieir backs, German coal in their 6toves, and German proprietors in their shops. The • professors in the universities have 'Kultur' in their minds, and there is Ger- '• man money and brains in their newspapers. When the Swiss saw that Germany was not winning, and perhaps would be defeated, a revulsion of feeling set in, beginning with recent deceptions in regard to liewj of German origin and misrepresentation regarding the violation of Belgium's neutrality. Tfiey have learned the truth as to German atrocities and the falsity of the news of German victories The.y realise that German competition is seriously threatening Swiss economic independence.— "Times" and Sydney "Sun" services.
