          ----------------------------------------------------
        (UP -- Unassociated Press) LONDON -- French peacekeeping forces
last season unearthed top secret movement orders for British Forces. Oddly
enough, although signed by King Thomas himself, they were entirely in German,
and stamped with the personal seal of the Kaiser. As we all know, King Thomas
doesn't know a word of German, so as impartial observers, we must come to the
inevitable conclusion that SOMEBODY ELSE is writing England's orders. Hmmm...
It boggles the mind, the manner in which a nation can so easily yield its
lifeblood to a foreign power. Further updates as more scandal is uncovered....
-----
Geneva, Switzerland -- Banque Suisse has announced that it will renounce its
policy of non-interference in the European war.  Belligerent nations may
apply to the bank's headquarters here in Geneva for a loan.  The historic
decision comes as no surprise to financial experts; the United States has
been lending money since the hostilities began and looks to be the eventual
winner in the war, because the military winner will have to pay exorbitant
interest rates.  The Banque Suisse is trying to tap into this source of
income.
-----
Berne, Switzerland -- The Swiss government stands behind its neutrality in the
current European conflict despite the actions of the Banque Suisse.  Any
citizen of a belligerent caught inside the Swiss border, for any reason, will
be detained and interned for the duration of the hostilities.  It is
expected that this will mean that the belligerent governments will not take
advantage of the Banque Suisse's remarkable loan offer.  American bankers are
rejoicing.
-----
Zurich, Switzerland -- Military observers for the Swiss government report
that it was very easy to determine the winners and losers this season.  The
major conflicts occurred in Rumania, Tyrolia, and Belgium.  Turkey pulled
off a defensive move by capturing Rumania and preventing the capture of
Ankara.  Italy pushed Germany back in Tyrolia and traded Berlin for Munich.
Italy also surrounded Greece to defend against an attack which never came.
France pushed England out of Belgium and every French unit ordered to advance
was able to do so.
