​country. These operations had lasted until the year of the Little Crow opening, and it was there that Jack Yully made his last stand.
He had for many years defied the laws of the county and state, and had built a magnificent residence near a spring that pours its sparkling waters into a small lake, where now stands a sanitarium. Yully had been chief overseer, dictator, and arbitrator of the combined forces of Little Crow and Keya Paha County outlaws and mixed bloods. The end came when, on a bright day in June, a posse led by the United States Marshal sneaked across the Whetstone and secrected themselves in a cache between Yully's corral and the house. Yully was seen to enter the corral and having laid a trap, a part of the men, came in from another direction and made as if to advance when Yully made a run for his house, which took him alongside the men hidden. Before he could change his course he was halted and asked to surrender. He answered by dropping to the opposite side of the horse and began firing. In the skirmish that followed the horse was shot and fell on Yully, but in the shot's exchange two of the posse and Yully were killed.

oincident with the expectation came the president's proclamation throwing four thousand claims in Tipp county open to settlement under the lottery system at six dollars per acre. Among the towns designated in the proclamation where the people could make application for a claim, Megory and Calias were nearest to the land. These were the places where the largest crowds were expected. Therefore, the citizens of these two vigorous municipalities began extensive preparations to "entertain the crowds." Megory, being more on the country order, made more homelike preparations. Among the many "conveniences" prepared were a ladies' rest room and information bureau, which were located in a large barn previously used for storing hay.
Calias, under the criticism that as soon as the road extended farther west it would be as dead as Oristown—now all but forgotten—prepared to "get theirs" while the crowds were in town. And they did, but that is ahead of the story.
​professionals. Although every precaution was taken to keep out the characters of the city's underworld, who had characterized former openings, both towns were fully represented with a large share of pickpockets, con-men, lewd women and their consorts.
The many vacant lots on Main street of both the towns were decorated with the typical scene at land openings. There were little tents with notaries assisted by many beautiful girls to "prepare your application." There were many hotels with three and four beds to a room, as well as "rooms to let" over all the places of business containing two stories or more. There were tents with five hundred cots, and "lest we forget", there were the numerous "drinking fountains," with bars the length of the building, behind which were scores of bartenders to serve the "how dry I am", on one side. On the other, in tents, back rooms and overhead could be heard the b-r-r-r-r of the little ivory marble as it spun a circuit over the roulette wheel, and the luck cages, where the idle sports turned them over for their own amusement, to pass away the time. The faro-bank and numerous wheels of fortune also had a place. From the rear came the strains of ragtime music. These were some of the many attractions that met the trains carrying the first arrivals on the night of October fifth.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/President Judson's message

PRESIDENT JUDSON’S MESSAGE
At the John Hus memorial meeting, held in Chicago on July 6th, President Harry Pratt Judson of the University of Chicago was to be the principal speaker. At the last moment his duties as member of the Council of National Defense called him to Washington. He sent a telegram which was read at the meeting and was received with genuine enthusiasm. It is given herewith:
Cordial greetings to my American fellow citizens of Bohemian descent!
Americanism is not determined by race or place of birth, but by loyalty to the constitution of the United States and by willingness to give all that one has, even his life, in the defense of his land.
​By that test there are no better Americans than those who trace their parentage to Bohemia.
We are engaged in war against a far reaching plot to dominate the world by Prussianism. The forces are the same which have crushed freedom in Bohemia and Moravia. There can be no secure peace until these forces are utterly defeated and secure guarantees are had which will prevent a renewal of the attack.
It must be made impossible for Prussian power to hold the road to Constantiople and Bagdad. One of the most effective bars would be a Czecho-Slovak state and that free state, I confidently hope, will emerge from the contest.
The ancient glories of the Bohemian people will flower anew in a free democracy which will always be found in close ties of friendship with our Republic on this side of the Ocean.
Hail to that day!
Harry Pratt Judson.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Professor Masaryk in Baltimore

* related portals: Czech lands.
* related authors: Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk.
PROFESSOR MASARYK IN BALTIMORE.
Baltimore is one of the cities which contain a considerable number of the Czechoslovak people, who were naturally eager to see and hear the great leader of the race. Although Professor Masaryk is unable to accept the many invitations to speak, coming from various cities and societies, he did not wish to disappoint his countrymen in Baltimore.
The Baltimore meeting was held under the auspices of the War Saving Stamps Committee in the Lyric, the largest theatre in Baltimore. The Bohemians and Slovaks of the city turned out in full numbers, marching from Northeastern Baltimore to the Union Station to receive the guest as he descended from the Washington train. The meeting was presided over by Ex-Governor Goldsborough. Professor Masaryk spoke both in English and Bohemian, discussing the problems of small nations and the situation of the Czechoslovak soldiers in Russia. After his speech an effort was made to have everyone of the audience pledge a certain amount for the War Saving Stamps; the total pledge of the meeting was $67,000.00, and the leaders promised to bring it up to $100,000.00.
After the mass meeting a dinner was given by the Baltimore colony to Professor Masaryk and the Washington guests in the Belvedere. Masaryk spoke again briefly and short addresses were also made by a number of the guests and leading Baltimoreans.
While in size the Baltimore reception would not equal the wonderful reception extended to Professor Masaryk in Chicago, New York and Cleveland, there was the same high enthusiasm and the same unanimity in Baltimore, as in the other cities.
# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Progress of campaign in America

PROGRESS OF CAMPAIGN IN AMERICA
Since the arrival of Professor Masaryk in the United States the Czechoslovak cause has made a tremendous progress. Masaryk has spent most of ​his time in Washington, in conferences with the American statesmen and the Allied diplomats. On June 19th he was received by the President and talked with him for 45 minutes. Though official recognition by the American Government has not yet been granted to the Czechoslovak National Council, Masaryk is treated by everyone, including the highest government officials as the head of the revolutionary Government of Bohemia. In addition to that he is the commander-in-chief of the Czechoslovak troops in Russia and Siberia, the only disciplined force to be found between the Pacific and the German lines.
Prof. Masaryk’s daughter, Miss Olga Masaryk, arrived in the United States after a stay of nearly four years in London. During the past year she has been practically in charge of the Czechoslovak independence campaign in England. Since she has come to this country to be with her father, she has given to the newspapers a number of interviews that set out in a novel and convincing way the claims of Bohemia to complete freedom. Miss Masaryk is, like her father, a great scholar and a noble character.
Since the work in the United States has grown far beyond mere financing of the work carried on in Europe, some personal changes were deemed necessary, in order that the campaign here might be efficiently carried on. Mr. Chas. Pergler, who established the office of the Czechcoslovak National Council in Washington has been commissioned by Professor Masaryk to act as the American representative of the Czechoslovak National Council of Paris. That made it advisable that another man should take charge of the Washington bureau, and Dr. J . F. Smetanka was appointed its director. Mr. G. H. Mika was placed in charge of the Slav Press Bureau which has been moved to New York and re-named the Czechoslovak Press Bureau.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Press comment on Czechoslovak recognition

PRESS COMMENT ON CZECHOSLOVAK RECOGNITION.
There is an event which means even more now and hereafter than the current military advance. That is the recognition of the Czechoslovak government by the United States, as a cobelligerent agains the German and Austro-Hungarian empires.
The allied armies may be checked, or (God prevent it) they may be pushed back somewhat, as the fortunes of war may determine. But the recognitoin of the new nation will not be set aside. It is now a historic and settled fact, one of the fundamental facts of the war which will dictate the nature of victory and the nature of peace.
—Washington Post.
This is perhaps the first time in modern history that a nation has been formed by a migratory people, and certainly the first time that it has been created and maintained in the heat of war and without a definite location. At present the Czechoslovaks are scattered all the way from Moscow to Vladivostok. Most of the people of this race are still under the dominion of Austria-Hungary. The head of the government, president of the National Council and comamnder-in-chief of the army, is now in Washington. The army itself is holding a part of Siberia, with allied assistance. Never was there such an anomalous situation. And yet it is the logical outcome of events.
—Washington Star.
New York Times.
We shall have to put the new power securely on the map. We can aid it in many ways. We have a large population of Czechs and Slovenes, who under the international law were up to now subjects of Austria-Hungary. We did not treat them as such. But now they have become citizens of an Allied nation, free to render military service to it or to enter our own armies under a compact such as we have recently concluded with Great Britain and Canada.
Moreover we can make loans to the new provisional government and can equip and supply its troops without clashing with international law technicalities.
Slovakia is at present a nation without territory. Its limits have not been dfined by the surveyor. But it exists in the hearts and minds of a people who have willed their liberation and have earned it by splendidly demonstrating their capacity for self-government. The indomitable spirit of nationality which the Czechoslovaks in Russia have exhibited is one of the marvels of the war. Fighting for their own future and the future of liberty and democracy in Europe, they have saved Russia from the German oppressor. Their almost miraculous intervention in the nick of time blocked German penetration into Russian Asia and gave Siberia a chance to escape from the clutches of Bolshevism. They have enabled the real Russia to rally against the Teuton invasion. If an Eastern front is re-established, it will be largely their work. Gratitude and policy therefore combine to sanction our recognition of the Czechoslovak nation.—New York Tribune.
# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Relief for Austrian veterans

RELIEF FOR AUSTRIAN VETERANS
From the Prague Venkov, May 25, 1918
The Minister of Defence, answering an appeal of deputy Klenensiewicz and others on behalf of soldiers who had been on the firing line from the beginning of the war, declares that the number of such soldiers is much higher than the deputy believed and the Minister is unable to grant the appeal in its fullest extent, but in order that these soldiers might be taken out of the immediately dangerous zone, at least for a certain period, an order has been issued that one-half of these men, as far as they do not themselves ask to be left at the front, should be sent back and assigned to duty as instructors of new levies.
They are to perform these duties for three months and then return to the front. The other half of such veteran soldiers will go back of the lines after the first half returns to the front.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Provisioning of northern Bohemia by Germany

PROVISIONING OF NORTHERN BOHEMIA BY GERMANY
From the Prague Venkov, May 26, 1918.
Wenzel Titta, president of the German National Council of Bohemia, had promised to get food for the Germans of Bohemia from the German Empire. So he proceeded to the proper quarters in Germany to get the promised assistance. Now Mr. Titta boasts in the papers about the success of his intervention and calls upon German towns to send their applica​tions for a share of food contributed by Germany. His own report states that what he got from Germany were soup cubes, dry vegetables and sauerkraut.
It is well known that quite a number of fakers supply the consumers with all the soup cubes that anybody can want, so what is the use of going to the fakers of Germany.
The dry vegetables furnished by Germany, are really, as we are informed, dried turnips that had been for more than two years lying despised in various German storehouses without finding a buyer, because it is unfit even for feed. Now Mr. Titta succeeded in buying it for his German countrymen at 45 pfennigs a kilogram. We wish our German friends good appetite for this dessert, a worthy crown of their political success.
The other foodstuff secured by Titta is sauerkraut. Everybody knows that Austria and Bohemia have more of it than they can use and that stores are overflowing with it. Apparently there is a surplus of it in Germany and there is danger that the sauerkraut will spoil. So Mr. Titta’s friends in Germany gave him the sauerkraut to get rid of him. Whether Mr. Titta himself will get rid of it is an other question. Our German countrymen, it seems, did a fine piece of business.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Slavic Mythology

It is time that the American children should be nurtured in the public schools on something else than the mythology of the Germans. Our educational experts proceed from the theory that American children are all little Teutons, that at the age of eight or ten years they are at the same stage of development as were the grown-up savage Teutons two thousand years ago and that they should learn to look with veneration upon Wotan and the other war deities of the German mythology.
A volume has just been published under the editorship of Louis Herbert Gray containing an account of the Celtic mythology by John Arnott Maccullouch, and of Slavic mythology by Jan Máchal. Dr. Máchal is professor at the University of Prague, and the present work is a free translation of his Bájesloví Slovanské, Prague 1907. Dr. Máchal has been long considered an authority on the beliefs of ancient Slavs and he gives in this book a full account of the deities and spirits worshipped by the various branches of the Slav race, from Bohemia to Russia. It is to be hoped that this book will be the beginning of a sustained interest in Slav mythology and that we shall soon have a book on similar lines got up so as to interest the children.

​Sinclair, Andrew, M.D., sometime Colonial Secretary of New Zealand, paid a visit to that colony in the first instance for scientific purposes, landing at Wellington in 1840. He was appointed Colonial Secretary, in succession to Lieutenant Shortland, on Jan. 6th, 1844, by Captain Fitzroy. This important office he continued to hold until the complete introduction into the colony of responsible government in May 1856. He had in early life served as a surgeon in the royal navy. He is remembered as the first collector of specimens of New Zealand natural history, botany, conchology, and entomology. Subsequently he accompanied Dr. (afterwards Sir Julius) von Haast in his first expedition to explore the sources of the rivers Rangitata and Ashburton. He attached himself to this party, mainly with the intention of assisting in the proposed botanical researches in the mountain ranges; and whilst so engaged he met with his death in an attempt to wade across one of the main branches of the Rangitata. His companions buried him in a lonely grave at the foot of the glaciers, amongst the native, shrubs and other natural objects which had formed the subject of his ill-fated researches.
