# The Declaration of Captain James Hind

November 15, 1651
Indeared Countrey-men,
Whereas there hath been sundry and various Relations of the proceedings of Capt. James Hind, fraught with impertinent stories, and new-invented fictions; I am (in order thereunto) desired by the said Mr. Hind, to publish this ensuing Declaration, for sattisfaction, & true information of the People ...
The Declaration of Captain James Hind ...
Whereas the Heavens are doomes of mens deeds, and God holds a ballance in his hand, to reward with favour, all those that walk uprightly; and to revenge with justice, all those that steers their wayes to the contrary; even so may the life of man be well compared to the Ocean Seas, that for every calm hath a thousand storms; for a little pleasure, much pain; and for high desire, much discontent:1 For as folly perswaded me to lead a sinfull life, so at length Justice may bring me to a sorrowful end; (but God requires mercy in the midst thereof) Yet notwithstanding, I am confident, the wrongs which I have committed doth not cry aloud for vengeance; but rather the Mercy that I shewed in all my Designs and Actions, may plead an acquitment of all punishment: However, Gods Will be done; for while I live my heart shall not faint me: I sorrow not to die; neither shall I grieve at the manner of my death, though it be never so untimely. Yet could I have but that happiness, as to fight for my life, and to encounter an Enemy in the field, it would be an infinite comfort, and joy of spirit to me. But blessed be the Name of the Lord, that he hath given me an humble spirit in these my days of Tribulation, and a heart of repentance to bewail my former course of life: For every wrong I have done (called now to remembrance) wrings drops of bloud from my heart; although I never shed one: Neither did I ever take the worth of a peny from a poor man; but at what time soever I met with any such a person, it was my constant custom, to ask, Who he was for? if he reply’d, For the King, I gave him 20 shillings: but if he answer’d, For the Parliament, I left him, as I found him. As for any other Exploits since 1649. I am guiltless of: For in the same year, May 2. I departed England (as appears by my Confession to the Council at White-Hal on the 10 instant, 1651.) and went to the Hague; But after I had been there three dayes I departed for Ireland ...
[here is missing his account of his travels and service to the royalist cause, and his participation as a soldier in the Battle of Worcester.]
This is all that was declared and confessed by him, who remains captivated in close Prison in the Gaol of New-gate.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/Prussia's Proclamation to Bohemia in 1866

ANOTHER GERMAN “SCRAP OF PAPER”
Prussia’s Proclamation to Bohemia in 1866
At the moment when the Allies have solemnly committed themselves to the liberation of the Czecho-Slovaks as one of their war aims, it is worth recalling the words of the proclamation issued by the Prussian High Comamnd on 8. July 1866, the day of their entry into Prague during the Seven Weeks’ War against Austria. It will be seen from this document that the Germans were ready enough to recognize Bohemia’s right to national independence when it suited their own ends to do so:
TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE GLORIOUS KINGDOM OF BOHEMIA!
As the result of the war unchained despite us by Austria we set foot on the soil of your country, not as enemies, but with full respect for your historical and national rights.
We come to offer to all the inhabitants without distinction of rank, religion or nationality, not war with its ravages, but a considerate friendship. Do not allow yourselves to be persuaded by our enemies and calumniators, that we have produced the present war by our desires of conquest. It is Austria who forced us to accept the combat, for she wished to attack us unexpectedly, in concert with the other German Governments. But we, on the contrary, will do nothing to oppose your just desire for independence and free national expansion. . . .
We leave the rest in full confidence in God the Omnipotent. If our just cause is victorious, the moment will perhaps come again, when the inhabitants of Bohemia and Moravia can freely dispose of their fate. A happier star will illumine this war and will establish your happiness forever.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/Situation in the old country

SITUATION IN THE OLD COUNTRY
Recently news from Bohemia has been scarce. The keynote to the situation there is given by the failure of crops, which has intensified the long-existing political discontent of the people and caused serious strikes and riots. At the end of August 80,000 workmen, principally of Prague, quit work as a protest against starvation rations doled out to the Czech people, while the government was permitting exportation of grain from Bohemia to Germany. Many conflicts occurred between the strikers and the German and Magyar garrisons. At the meetings of striking workmen resolutions were adopted demanding immediate erection of a Czechoslovak republic. The government declared martial law all over Bohemia.
A correspondent in the Prague “Právo Lidu” relates an experience which is typical of the straits to which the war has reduced people of cities and villages alike. He says: “For three months we did not see a potato. We had to support life a whole week on one kilogram of bran flour and three little loaves of bread for four persons. Recently I got hold of two packages of tobacco; I put them at once in my pocket and took a train out into the country to trade the tobacco for something that could be eaten, potatoes, bread, milk, or anything. I came to a village where I had friends, but found no one at home, except an old fellow smoking a pipe. Whatever he had in that pipe, I knew it was not tobacco. When I told him what I had, he dragged me inside and wanted to know what I would take for it. I said “eats”. All he could find in the house were two eggs, a pint of goat milk and eight potatoes, but he was so eager to get that tobacco that I let it go at that. When I asked him where one could buy some potatoes, he said that it was no use; nobody would take the paper and iron money, but for sugar, coffee, soap or tobacco one could always get something to eat.
“As I was passing by a little later on my way back to the depot, I saw the old man in the shed puffing at his pipe and milking the goat; no doubt he want ed to have the milk at least, when his wife returned and wanted supper.
“When I got back to Prague, I figured out that eight potatoes, two eggs and a pint of milk cost me nearly five crowns.”

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/Russian sailors entertained

RUSSIAN SAILORS ENTERTAINED.
Officers and sailors of the Russian warship “Variag” which recently called at the harbor of New York were guests of the Bohemian and Slovak organizations of New York City on June 26.
Between the Russians and the Bohemians there has been close touch and warm sympathy for the last hundred years. Both nations are branches of the great Slavic race, their languages are nearly related and the consciousness of blood relationship is very strong. The Russian people, being by far the most numerous of the Slav nations, is looked upon as the big brother of the Slav family, the champion of the oppressed Slavs of Turkey and Austria-Hungary.
As such, and as representatives of the great Russian democracy, the sailors of the “Variag” found a cordial welcome in the Bohemian Sokol Hall on 71st St. Officers and delegates of the crew were seated on the platform alongside of the representatives of the Bohemian National Alliance and the Slovak League. Gustav Košík who recently returned from Russia where he had spent a year on behalf of the Slovak League welcomed the guests in the Russian language. Response was made by Captain Kolzevnikov who pledged the assistance of Russia toward the liberation df Austrian Slavs. In a similar tone spoke the Russian naval attache Capt. Piotrowsky and the military attache Capt. Buckoy who talked warmly of his visit to Prague and of his Bohemian teachers in Russian schools. Very remarkable was the address of the spokesman of the crew Kalinsky who brought out excellently the character of the Russian revolution and its significance for the democratization of the world.
# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/Resolutions for Bohemian independence

RESOLUTIONS FOR BOHEMIAN INDEPENDENCE
Two resolutions have been introduced in Congress with the purpose of committing the legislative branch of our government to the cause of Bohemian independence. The author of one is Congressman A. J. Sabath, of the Fifth district of Illinois, while in the Senate a similar resolution was introduced by Senator William S. Kenyon of Iowa. Both were referred to the respective Committee on Foreign Affairs, where they are held pending a definite expression of opinion on the part of executive officers and also of the American people.
Under these circumstances it is natural that people of Bohemian birth are making strenuous efforts to obtain favorable declarations from public bodies, assemblies and conventions. So far the ​Chicago city council passed a resolution calling on the President and Congress to make the independence of Bohemian-Slovak lands one of the conditions of peace. Bohemian Protestants who have been very active in the cause championed by the Bohemian National Alliance from the very beginning, are engaged at the present time in securing endorsements of Bohemian freedom from their various denominational bodies. During the month of May the State Congregational Council of Illinois, the Northern Baptist Convention held at Cleveland and the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church held at Dallas, made favorable pronouncements on this point. Various appeals and memorials have been presented to these church bodies by Bohemian pastors participating therein. Below is given the one submitted to the Presbyterian General Assembly, of which church, by the way, President Wilson is a member.

​Couvreur, Jessie Catherine ("Tasma"), the well-known writer, is the daughter of Alfred James Huybers, J.P., of Hobart, Tas., and was born at Highgate, near London, being brought out as an infant by her parents to Tasmania in the early half of the fifties. Her father originally came from Antwerp to reside in England, and thence proceeded to Hobart, where the future novelist remained until her first marriage, when she went to live in Victoria, where her first story, "Barren Love" (recently republished by her in London in the collection "A Sydney Sovereign"), appeared in Mr. Garnet Walsh's Annual of 1877. She also contributed original tales, sketches, and essays to the Australasian and the Melbourne Review. In 1879 she went to reside permanently in Europe, which she had visited a few years previously. From 1880 to 1882 she lectured in French on Australia in France and Belgium for the Geographical Society of Paris. She also wrote for Madame Adam's Nouvelle Revue, and received from the French Government the decoration of Officier d'Académie. In 1883-4 she revisited Australia. On her return to Europe she was married in 1885 to M. Auguste Couvreur, the well-known Belgian publicist, and has resided since in Brussels. M. Couvreur, who is the senior foreign member of the Cobden Club, and has been connected with the Independence Belge both as contributor and editor, was for twenty years one of the Liberal representatives of Brussels, and for four years Vice-President of the Chamber. In 1889, under her nom-de-plume "Tasma," Madame Couvreur published in London her first complete novel, entitled "Uncle Piper of Piper's Hill"—a story of Australian life and manners, which was most highly commended by the leading literary critics in England and on the Continent. Her second novel, "In her Earliest Youth," published in 1890, is likewise Australian, and was equally well received by the press. About the same time "Tasma" also brought out the collection of short tales called "A Sydney Sovereign." She has now a new one-volume novel in the press entitled "A White Feather," and from time to time she has contributed an occasional story to Mr. Edmund Yates's society journal, the World. Since her residence in Europe, Madame Couvreur has sent various contributions to the Melbourne Australasian, and is generally recognised, particularly in Victoria and Tasmania, as one of the leading writers, who, if not actually born, have been entirely educated in the colonies. "Tasma" contributed to Mr. Mennell's "In Australian Wilds" (published by Hutchinson & Co.), and in Christmas 1890 a story to "Over the Sea," a collection of stories for English and Australian children, one to the collection "Under the Gum-Tree," and also the opening tale, "An Old Time Episode in Tasmania," to Mrs. Patchett Martin's "Cooëe."

# The Daughter of Erlik Khan/Chapter XI

IT WAS THE stealthy clink of steel on stone that wakened Gordon. In the dim starlight a shadowy bulk loomed over him and something glinted in the lifted hand. Gordon went into action like a steel spring uncoiling. His left hand checked the descending wrist with its curved knife, and simultaneously he heaved upward and locked his right hand savagely on a hairy throat.
A gurgling gasp was strangled in that throat and Gordon, resisting the other's terrific plunges, hooked a leg about his knee and heaved him over and underneath. There was no sound except the rasp and thud of straining bodies. Gordon fought, as always, in grim silence. No sound came from the straining lips of the man beneath. His right hand writhed in Gordon's grip while his left tore futilely at the wrist whose iron fingers drove deeper and deeper into the throat they grasped. That wrist felt like a mass of woven steel wires to the weakening fingers that clawed at it. Grimly Gordon maintained his position, driving all the power of his compact shoulders and corded arms into his throttling fingers. He knew it was his life or that of the man who had crept up to stab him in the dark. In that unmapped corner of the Afghan mountains all fights were to the death. The tearing fingers relaxed. A convulsive shudder ran through the great body straining beneath the American. It went limp.
