SWITZERLAND.
SWARMING WITH SPIES. WHOLESALE GERMAN INTRIGUE. (Times and Sydney Sun Services.) Received Sept. 1, 7.35 p.m. London, Sept. 1. The Times' correspondent says that Switzerland is swarming with German agenta, who are spreading lying calumnies with the object of persuading the Swiss that the Allies' cause is lost. They are influencing the German-Swiss to advise their fellow countrymen to resist the formation of an import trust. The correspondent thinks, supposing Germany intends a fresh attack on France through Switzerland, that it is conceivable Switzerland might be influenced to withdraw her army on Hie first line of defence on tdie German side, which is some wa.y south of the actual frontier, thus leaving a broad, opeu, corridor passage for the German troops to France, south of Belfort. At the present time Switzerland is honestly neutral and does not want war, but if lying agents' persistent efforts convince the Swiss tlmt the Allies mean to starve them and their industries there is a real danger.
