GENEVA, OCT. 18.

THE TENSION IN EUROPE AND TALK OF WAR WHICH HÁS FOLLOWED IN THE WAKE OF RECENT SERIOUS DEVELOPMENTS IS CAUSING ACUTE UNEASINESS IN SWITZERLAND.

Military experts have long been of the belief that in the event of a war, Germany would be more likely to: attack France through Switzerland than through Belgium.

In view of this "threat," it is understood that a Bill will shortly be submitted to the Chamber authoris- ing the expenditure of a hundred million Swiss francs on special defences. Reuter
