Swiss Are Taking Precautions

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 18, 1912:
Increase Their Ready Cash and Order Grain from America.
    BERNE, Dec. 17.— The Swiss Government, in view of the possibilities of war, is augmenting the amount of ready cash at its command. A consignment of $5,000,000 in gold and silver arrived here by special train from Paris to-day and was lodged in the Swiss National Bank.
    The Government also continues to order quantities of grain from America.
