Deserters From War-Enmity Surge Into Switzerland
In Berne on June 2 reports note between ten and twelve thousand soldiers from Entente and Central Powers have fled to or refused to leave neutral Switzerland since the war began. Italians predominate among deserters, who enjoy foreigner rights but pay no taxes or military duties. The issue burdens authorities as some are jailed, others are sheltered, and occasional breaches of neutrality by French and German aviators occur near the Swiss neck into the northwest. Prisoners of war occasionally attempt escape, with shellfire crossing into Swiss territory. Fugitives there are treated generously, while recent Russian escapees from Germany swam the Rhine and were hosted and later sent to internment camps.
