# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/America and her allies for free Bohemia

AMERICA AND HER ALLIES FOR FREE BOHEMIA.
On May 29th Secretary of State Lansing made the following important announcement of American policy.
“The Secretary of State desires to announce that the proceedings of the Congress of Oppressed Races of Austria Hungary, which was held in Rome in April, have been followed with great interest by the Government of the United States, and that the nationalistic aspirations of the Czecho Slovaks and Jugoslavs for freedom have the earnest sympathy of this Government.”
On June 5th the following official announcement was made in London:
“At the Versailles conference the premiers of Great Britain, France and Italy agreed to the foreign declarations: The creation of a united independent Polish state, with free access to the sea, constitutes one of the conditions of a solid and just peace and the rule of right in Europe.
“The Allies have noted with satisfaction the declaration of the American Secretary of State, to which they adhere, expressing the greatest sympathy with the national aspirations of the Czechs and Jugoslavs for freedom.”
# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/With the Bohemian National Alliance (2)

WITH THE BOHEMIAN NATIONAL ALLIANCE
During the last month the treasury of the Alliance benefited greatly from the proceeds of several elaborately staged national fetes. Only the big bazaars of the past winter exceeded these Bohemian “posvícení” in size and enthusiasm.
CZECH NATIONAL FETE, CHICAGO, LABOR DAY, 1917.
The first of these great rallies in point of time was the old settlers’ reunion in Crete, Neb., held on August 26th. Both the attendance and financial success were wonderful; some six hundred automobiles were parked on the grounds. Among the speakers were Samuel Avery, chancellor of the University of Nebraska, and Joseph Tvrzický, secretary of the Alliance. The other fetes were held on Labor Day. In Chicago some thirty thousand people participated in the joy-making at the Pilsen Park. Baltimore, Toledo and Montgomery (Minn.), also had record crowds. In all these cities the fete was inaugurated by a marching parade with floats, national costumes, brass bands, uniformed societies, etc. After Labor Day, 1917, no one can doubt that people of Bohemian descent in the United States almost to a man stand back of the Bohemian National Alliance in its great fight for the independence of Bohemia. A particularly gratifying feature of all these celebrations was the hearty participation of Bohemians of Catholic faith.
Chas. Pergler, vice-president of the Alliance, had the honor of addressing the memorable gathering of the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy at Minneapolis, September 5th. Organizer Vojta Beneš spent the latter part of the month delivering a series of addresses in smaller Bohemian farming settlements in North and South Dakota. It is very gratifying to note that the number of branch societies is still increasing.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/A government publication by a Bohemian scholar

A GOVERNMENT PUBLICATION BY A BOHEMIAN SCHOLAR
The Department of Commerce has just published a volume on “German Trade and the War” by Chauncey Depew Snow and Joseph J. Kral. The book presents a very exhaustive study of the commercial and industrial conditions in war-time Germany and of the outlook after the war. It is a rich mine of information on the various phases of German industrial life, covering the manufacturing industries, the supplies of raw materials, the development of substitute materials, labor, combination and syndication of industry, as well as discussing Germany’s commercial aims in going to war, and aspirations and preparations for the period after the war. It is evident that the authors, who are statistical experts in the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, have followed carefully current newspapers, periodicals and books published in Germany and other European countries.
While the book is intended primarily for American business men, it will have a double interest for our readers. Many of them knew personally Mr. Kral, who was editor of the “Bohemian Voice”, the first periodical in English devoted to Bohemian affairs. Then again, the appendix contains in addition to statistical tables and various documents bearing on the subject-matter of the book two articles of special interest for Bohemians. One is a discussion of Pan-Germanism by Professor Thos. G. Masaryk, reprinted from the New Europe, and the other is a translation of an article by Dr. Alois Rašín in the Národní Listy, expressing the opposition of the Austrian Slavs to German plans of Mittel Europa and their determination to obtain independence.
This important government publication of 236 pages may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, for twenty-five cents.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Acquainting America with Bohemia

ACQUAINTING AMERICA WITH BOHEMIA
We are so intent on convincing America of the justice of the political demands of the Bohemian people that we run into the error of using only political arguments. They are the strongest and the most obvious, but we have others that should not be neglected. We can make friends for Bohemia by telling our American fellow-citizens of the art, culture, music and literature of Bohemia.
Two such attempts have been made recently, with considerable success. On November 14th a Bohemian Day was held at the University of Chicago. It was preceded by a two-day exhibit of Bohemian art and books. The evening itself was made enjoyable by splendid rendering of Bohemian music by Bohemian vocal and instrumental artists. The second occasion was an exhibit of embroidery and needlework at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on December 9th and during the following week. Representatives of the Museum and of the New York Czechs and Slovaks gave addresses on the art of the Slavs.
Upon the occasion of the Bohemian Day at the University of Chicago a booklet was issued presenting briefly in sixty pages Bohemia’s contribution to civilization. It is got up in a very attractive manner with a colored title page and several beautiful illustrations. Prof. Zmrhal discusses Bohemia’s Contribution to Literature. Dr. Vojan writes on Bohemian Music. Vojta Beneš tells of the Bohemian Art and Dr. Fisher sets forth the ideals of the Sokols. The booklet is particularly appropriate for presentation to American friends of Bohemia. Copies may be obtained from the Bohemian National Alliance, 3639 West Twenty-sixth street, Chicago. Price, 50 cents.

# The Caliph and Satan

* related portals: Islamic poetry.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
As published in the 1893 Poetry of the Orient
In heavy sleep the Caliph lay,
When some one called, " Arise and pray "
The angry Caliph cried, " Who dare
Rebuke his king for slighted prayer? "
Then, from the corner of the room,
A voice cut sharply through the gloom :
" My name is Satan. Rise ! obey
Mohammed's law : Awake, and pray."
"Thy words are good," the Caliph said,
"But their intent I somewhat dread;
For matters cannot well be worse,
Than when the thief says, ' Guard your purse.'
I cannot trust your counsel, friend.
It surely hides some wicked end."
Said Satan : " Near the throne of God,
In ages past, we devils trod ;
Angels of light, to us 't was given
To guide each wandering foot to Heaven.
Not wholly lost is that first love,
Nor those pure tastes we knew above.
Roaming across a continent,
The Tartar moves his shifting tent, But never quite forgets the day
When in his father's arms he lay ;
So we, once bathed in love divine.
Recall the taste of that rich wine.
God's finger rested on my brow,
That magic touch, I feel it now !
I fell, 't is true, O ask not why !
For still to God I turn my eye ;
It was a chance by which I fell ;
Another takes me back from Hell.
"T'was but my envy of mankind,
The envy of a loving mind.
Jealous of men, I could not bear
God's love with this new race to share.
But yet God's tables open stand,
His guests flock in from every land.
Some kind act toward the race of men
May toss us into Heaven again.
A game of chess is all we see,
And God the player, pieces we.
White, black, queen, pawn, 't is all the same,
For on both sides he plays the game.
Moved to and fro, from good to ill.
We rise and fall as suits his will."
The Caliph said : "If this be so
I know not, but thy guile I know;
For how can I thy words believe.
When even God thou didst deceive.
A sea of lies art thou, our sin
Only a drop that sea within."
" Not so," said Satan ; " I serve God,
His angel now, and now his rod.
In tempting, I both bless and curse,
Make good men better, bad men worse.
Good coin is mixed with bad, my brother,
I but distinguish one from th' other."
" Granted," the Caliph said ; " but still
You never tempt to good, but ill.
Tell, then, the truth, for well I know
You come as mj most deadly foe."
Loud laughed the fiend. " You know me well ;
Therefore my purpose I will tell.
If you had missed your prayer, I knew
A swift repentance would ensue ;
And such repentance would have been
A good, outweighing far the sin.
I chose this humbleness divine,
Born out of fault, should not be thine ;
Preferring prayers elate with pride,
To sin with penitence allied. Who doth the raven for a guide invite,
Must marvel not on carcasses to light."

REINCARNATION
(Evanston Index, October 7, 1893)
At the Congregational Church, during the past week, there have been given a course of lectures which in nature much resembled the Religious Parliament which has just been completed. The lecturers were Dr. Carl van Bergen of Sweden, and Suami Vivekananda, the Hindu monk. ... Suami Vivekananda is a representative from India to the Parliament of Religions. He has attracted a great deal of attention on account of his unique attire in Mandarin colors, by his magnetic presence and by his brilliant oratory and wonderful exposition of Hindu philosophy. His stay in Chicago has been a continual ovation. The course of lectures was arranged to cover three evenings.
[The lectures of Saturday and Tuesday evenings are listed without Comment; then the article continues:]
On Thursday evening Oct. 5, Dr. von Bergen spoke on "Huldine Beamish, the Founder of the King's Daughters of Sweden," and "Reincarnation" was the subject treated by the Hindu monk. The latter was very interesting; the views being those that are not often heard in this part of the world. The doctrine of reincarnation of the soul, while comparatively new and little understood in this country, is well-known in the east, being the foundation of nearly all the religions of those people. Those that do not use it as dogma, do not say anything against it. The main point to be decided in regard to the doctrine is, as to whether we have had a past. We know that we have a present and feel sure of a future. Yet how can there be a present without a past? Modern science has proved that matter exists and continues to exist. Creation is merely a change in appearance. We are not sprung out of nothing. Some regard God as the common cause of everything and judge this a sufficient reason for existence. But in everything we must consider the phenomena; whence and from what matter springs. The same arguments that prove there is a future prove that there is a past. It is necessary that there should be causes other than God's will. Heredity is not able to give sufficient cause. Some say that we are not conscious of a former existence. Many cases have been found where there are distinct reminiscences of a past. And here lies the germ of the theory. Because the Hindu is kind to dumb animals many believe that we believe in the reincarnation of souls in lower orders. They are not able to conceive of kindness to dumb animals being other than the result of superstition. An ancient Hindu priest defines religion as anything that lifts one up. Brutality is driven out, humanity gives way to divinity. The theory of incarnation does not confine man to this small earth. His soul can go to other, higher earths where he will be a loftier being, possessing, instead of five senses, eight, and continuing in this way he will at length approach the acme of perfection, divinity, and will be allowed to drink deep of oblivion in the "Islands of the Blest".
# The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 3/Reports in American Newspapers/Personal Traits

PERSONAL TRAITS
(Critic, October 7, 1893)
. . . It was an outgrowth of the Parliament of Religions, which opened our eyes to the fact that the philosophy of the ancient creeds contains much beauty for the moderns. When we had once clearly perceived this, our interest in their exponents quickened, and with characteristic eagerness we set out in pursuit of knowledge. The most available means of obtaining it, after the close of the Parliament, was through the addresses and lectures of Swami Vivekananda, who is still in this city [Chicago]. His original purpose in coming to this country was to interest Americans in the starting of new industries among the Hindoos, but he has abandoned this for the present, because he finds that, as "the Americans are the most charitable people in the world," every man with a purpose comes here for assistance in carrying it out. When asked about the relative condition of the poor here and in India, he replied that our poor would be princes there, and that he had been taken through the worst quarter of the city only to find it, from the standpoint of his knowledge, comfortable and even pleasant.
A Brahmin of the Brahmins, Vivekananda gave up his rank to join the brotherhood of monks, where all pride of caste is voluntarily relinquished. And yet he bears the mark of race upon his person. His culture, his eloquence, and his fascinating personality have given us a new idea of Hindoo civilization. He is an interesting figure, his fine, intelligent, mobile face in its setting of yellows, and his deep, musical voice prepossessing one at once in his favor. So it is not strange that he has been taken up by the literary clubs, has preached and lectured in churches, until the life of Buddha and the doctrines of his faith have grown familiar to us. He speaks without notes, presenting his facts and his conclusions with the greatest art, the most convincing sincerity; and rising at times to a rich, inspiring eloquence. As learned and cultivated, apparently, as the most accomplished Jesuit, he has also something Jesuitical in the character of his mind; but though the little sarcasms thrown into his discourses are as keen as a rapier, they are so delicate as to be lost on many of his hearers. Nevertheless his courtesy is unfailing, for these thrusts are never pointed so directly at our customs as to be rude. At present he contents himself with enlightening us in regard to his religion and the words of its philosophers. He looks forward to the time when we shall pass beyond idolatry — now necessary in his opinion to the ignorant classes — beyond worship, even, to a knowledge of the presence of God in nature, of the divinity and responsibility of man. "Work out your own salvation," he says with the dying Buddha; "I cannot help you. No man can help you. Help yourself."

THE HINDOO MONK
(Appeal-Avalanche, January 16, 1894)
Swami Vive Kananda, the Hindoo monk, who is to lecture at the Auditorium [Memphis] tonight, is one of the most eloquent men who has ever appeared on the religious or lecture platform in this country. His matchless oratory, deep penetration into things occult, his cleverness in debate, and great earnestness captured the closest attention of the world's thinking men at the World's Fair Parliament of Religion, and the admiration of thousands of people who have since heard him during his lecture tour through many of the states of the Union.
In conversation he is a most pleasant gentleman; his choice of words are the gems of the English language, and his general bearing ranks him with the most cultured people of Western etiquette and custom. As a companion he is a most charming man, and as a conversationalist he is, perhaps, not surpassed in the drawing-rooms of any city in the Western World. He speaks English not only distinctly, but fluently, and his ideas, as new as sparkling, drop from his tongue in a perfectly bewildering overflow of ornamental language.
Swami Vive Kananda, by his inherited religion or early teachings, grew up a Brahmin, but becoming converted to the Hindoo religion he sacrificed his rank and became a Hindoo priest, or as known in the country of oriental ideality, a sanyasin. He had always been a close student of the wonderful and mysterious works of nature as drawn from God's high conception, and with years spent as both a student and teacher in the higher colleges of that eastern country, he acquired a knowledge that has given him a worldwide reputation as one of the most thoughtful scholars of the age.
His wonderful first address before the members of the World's Fair Parliament stamped him at once as a leader in that great body of religious thinkers. During the session he was frequently heard in defence of his religion, and some of the most beautiful and philosophical gems that grace the English language rolled from his lips there in picturing the higher duties that man owed to man and to his Creator. He is an artist in thought, an idealist in belief and a dramatist on the platform.
Since his arrival in Memphis he has been guest of Mr. Hu L. Brinkley, where he has received calls day and evening from many in Memphis who desired to pay their respects to him. He is also an informal guest at the Tennessee Club and was a guest at the reception given by Mrs. S. R. Shepherd, Saturday evening. Col. R. B. Snowden gave a dinner at his home at Annesdale in honor of the distinguished visitor on Sunday, where he met Assistant Bishop Thomas F. Gailor, Rev. Dr. George Patterson and a number of other clergymen.
Yesterday afternoon he lectured before a large and fashionable audience composed of the members of the Nineteenth Century Club in the rooms of the club in the Randolph Building. Tonight he will be heard at the Auditorium on "Hindooism".

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Czechoslovak day in Camp Meade

CZECHOSLOVAK DAY IN CAMP MEADE
The Bohemian National Alliance| of Baltimore arranged, at the invitation of the commission on training camp activities, an interesting program for Czechoslovak Day at Camp Meade, Md. The camp is about half way between Washington and Baltimore, and contains 38,000 men. Among them there are several hundred soldiers of Czechoslovak birth, as well as a number of officers, who cooper ated in preparations for the festival most cordially.
The program was held in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. An address was made by Charles Pergler, Commissioner of the Czechoslovak Government, and members of the Sokol Blesk and of the Catholic Sokol of Baltimore presented gymnastic drills, athletic exhibitions, folk dances and singing. The program was accepted with much enthusiasm by the multitude of soldiers present, and the news papers devoted much attention to the unusual cele bration of a Czechoslovak Day in an American training camp.
The Baltimoe Czechs deserve much credit for their initiative and for the splendid program pre sented by them.
