DESERTERS ORGANIZE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES (By United Press.) BERNE, Oct. 5. (By Mail.) One of the strangest organizations on rec ord is forming in Switzerland an as sociation of military deserters de signed to protect their "interests." Military deserters from belligerent nations surrounding Switzerland over run the country. Their presence con stitutes a growing embarrassment to the government and proposals have been advanced to round them up in an internment camp. , Alarmed by such reports, the de serters have been inserting advertise ments in Swiss newspapers, calling upon all comrade slackers to "form an international organization." The organization committee consists of Germans, Austrians and Bulgarians. MARY PICKFORD .?
