# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Slovaks of America send message to Slovakia

SLOVAKS OF AMERICA SEND MESSAGE TO SLOVAKIA.
Upon the occasion of the close of the war and the birth of the Czechoslovak Republic the Slovak League of America sent the following message to Dr. Paul Blaho, one of the two Slovak deputies in the Budapest parliament, to be transmitted by him to the entire nation:
Greetings to the Slovak Nation from their Brothers in America.
With feelings of great joy and infinite happiness we send to you, brothers and sisters in Slovakia, warm greetings and heartiest congratulations, because after a thousand years of struggle and suffering the sun has finally risen above the Tatry and spread the warm rays of liberty over all Slovakia.
We are proud that opportunity had been made for us in this last fight to repay to our native land, from which fate tore us away, the debt of gratitude which we incurred before leaving for free America. We are proud that in the fight for your liberty, for the freedom of the Czechoslovak nation, we here in America had a share. Our brothers and sons fought under the starry banner of the United States as well as under the Czechoslovak flag in France; others sustained them in the field by working in the war industries. Our women and girls with much zeal and self-sacrifice undertook the work of relief, all with firm faith in their hearts that the Czechoslovak people must win.
Your oppressors have been swept away. Now you fay relax and celebrate. All world has adopted the great American principle: Government of the people, for the people and by the people. Now you will free, now you will yourselves decide your future as free citizens of the Czechoslovak Republic.
We know what misery and horror you had to bear during the war; but your liberty was worth all that suffering. Use your liberty with reason, loving each other as brothers. Slovaks and Czechs together, so that our beloved Slovakia may prosper politically, culturally and economically, from Prespurk to Užhorod.
May the mountains of Tatry resound with cheers for President Masaryk who guided us through the most difficult days and is our great leader, inspirer and father still. Glory to our heroes who laid down their lives in Russia. France and Italy for the liberation of the Czechoslovak nation. Glory to our greatest friend, President Wilson. May happiness and blessing be with you. May every one of you work with all his strength and all his heart for the welfare of our dear Slovakia and of the entire Czechoslovak Republic. Albert Mamatey,President, Slovak League. Jan Janćek. Jr.,Secretary, Slovak League.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Sonnet to Czechoslovak Independence Day

Sonnet to Czechoslovak Independence Day.
Hail! Land of Hus and Žižka, dawns the day Of thy release from bondage long and sore! The coming Freedom break the alien sway; No hateful tyranny shall crush thee more; Thy age-long warfare is accomplished now! Thy ancient zeal old records plain avow. That tell of Podiebrad; Komensky, hoar In grief and sorrows for his stricken land, Yet heralding redemption still at hand!
Where Moldau rolls majestical along, Old Prague recalls her fearful Day of Blood, When, facing death, thy nobles valiant stood! Or Hus’s ashes, cast upon the flood— Such sacred, patriot mem’ries thrill thy song!
—Theodore L. Clemens.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Some quiet workers

SOME QUIET WORKERS.
The main task of people of Bohemian descent in the United States, at least of all those who cherish tender memories for the land of their fathers, is to convince the people of the United States that the Czechoslovaks are entitled to freedom and that the weight of this country should back their demand for an independent Bohemia.
A few men, officers of the Bohemian National Allianc, give all their time to this work. But there are others who snatch what time they can from their regular duties to tell the citizens of their city and state about the Bohemians. Every Bohemian is proud of Aleš Hrdlička, curator of the Smithsonian Institute and the greatest living authority on the American Indian. Dr. Hrdlička, who by the way insists on having his name written with the diacritical marks of Czech spelling, writes learned articles and delivers lectures not merely about the Indian, but also about the Bohemian, and gains friends, wherever he goes, for the Bohemian cause. Thomas Čapek, president of the Bank of Europe of New York City, is one of the very few authors of Czech descent writing in the English language. All his leisure is devoted to presenting the Bohemian and Slovak cause to America in book form. Professor Bohumil Šimek of the University of Iowa, a man born in a mud cabin on the Iowa prairies, and with two sons in the American army, is as good an American as you can find anywhere among the state universities of this broad land. And yet he loves the land from which his parents came and is never weary of answering a call for a speech from social and business and learned organizations anywhere in the Mississippi Valley.
Another scholar of American birth, but Bohemian ancestry, is Miss Šárka Hrbková, professor of Slavic languages at the University of Nebraska. Miss Hrbková enjoys the distinction of being the state chairman of the Women’s Committee of the Nebraska State Council of Defense. In her many addresses and newspaper interviews she never forgets to speak a good word for Bohemia.
There are others, too numerous to mention, sound Americans all, yet eager to do what little may lay in their power for the race whose blood ​flows in their veins—men like Jeremiah L. Trnka of Hoboken, one of the original four-minute men, women like Miss Madeline Veverka, assistant superintendent of schools of Los Angeles. The Bohemian Review is proud of the fact that some of these little-known, quiet workers who have never seen the land whence their parents came, have been stirred up to do their little bit for old Bohemia through the columns of this paper.

# The Club of Queer Trades

1905 edition. A precusor to the Father Brown stories by the same author—with similar overtones of the fantastical—this is a collection of six mystery short stories. Each story in the collection is centered on a person who is making his living by some novel and extraordinary means (a "queer trade", using the word "queer" in the sense of "peculiar").
| “ | ...with an easy leap and swing that showed that he was in no need of physical assistance, he stood on the wall at the end of the strange garden. The second after, the flapping of the frock-coat at his knees made him feel inexpressibly a fool. But the next instant all such trifling sentiments were swallowed up by the most appalling shock of surprise the old soldier had ever felt in all his bold and wandering existence. His eyes fell upon the garden, and there across a large bed in the centre of the lawn was a vast pattern of pansies; they were splendid flowers, but for once it was not their horticultural aspects that Major Brown beheld, for the pansies were arranged in gigantic capital letters so as to form the sentence "DEATH TO MAJOR BROWN" | ” |

# The Custom of the Country

The Custom of the Country is a 1913 novel by Edith Wharton. It is centered on Undine Spragg, a social upstart who goes up the social ladder through marriage and divorce and remarriage, many times anew. Wavering between the Romantic and the Realist canons, the novel nevertheless follows in the wake of the literary tradition of the money-novel. It was written by Edith Wharton at a time when she herself was going through a divorce. She had, however, started writing the novel as early as Spring 1908 when she had completed six chapters.Warning: template has been deprecated.

​Sherwin, Amy, the well-known operatic singer, was born in Tasmania. She had but limited means to advance her musical education in her early days, her only teacher being her mother. There chanced, however, to come to Tasmania a troupe of Italian artistes, and Miss Sherwin joined them. Her début was made in Melbourne, Vict., in Lucia. In 1879 she went to America, and was engaged to sing in Berlioz's Faust at its initial performance. She took part in the Cincinnati Festival under Theodore Thomas in 1880-1. Then, having studied with Dr. Damrosch, Errani, and Madame Keppiani, Miss Sherwin came to Europe and placed herself under Stockhausen, Hustache, Vannuccini, and Ronconi, and made her appearance in London in 1883, winning her first success at the Promenade Concerts. Next, she connected herself with the Carl Rosa Opera Company, and sang at the Richter and Crystal Palace Concerts. In 1887 she visited Australia, and was received with great enthusiasm. She appeared in both concert and opera, and alter a year of prosperous achievement went to India, China, and Japan on a concert tour in 1888, reaching Europe in 1889; here she sang in the principal towns of Germany and Austria, and settled again in London in 1890, becoming the prima donna at Sims Reeves's farewell concerts in his provincial tour.

​Shiels, Hon. William, M.L.A., LL.B., Premier of Victoria, is a native of Ireland, and came to Victoria with his parents when a child. He was educated at the Scotch College, Melbourne, and at the Melbourne University, where he took the degrees of LL.B. and Master of Laws, He was admitted to the Victorian Bar in 1873, and practised his profession in Melbourne. At the general election of 1877 he was returned for Normanby in the Conservative and free trade interest, and has represented the constituency uninterruptedly ever since. It is in connection with the measure for extending the rights of women in the matter of divorce that Mr. Shiels has won his principal repute. Not only did he secure the passage of the measure through the Victorian Parliament, but by his tactful conduct during his mission to London in the early part of 1890, he, in the face of much prejudiced opposition, induced the Salisbury Government to advise Her Majesty to assent to the measure, which had been reserved for the Queen's assent. In Nov. 1890, on the formation of the Munro Ministry, Mr. Shiels was appointed Attorney-General and Minister of Railways, and sat, pending the arrival of Mr. (now Sir Henry John) Wrixon, as one of the delegates at the Federal Convention of 1891. In Feb. 1892 Mr. Munro resigned the Premiership, when the Ministry was reconstructed under Mr. Shiels, who took the post of Treasurer along with the Premiership. In April of that year Sir Graham Berry, who had been pressed to join the Ministry previously, agreed to take the post of Treasurer; and it was then relinquished by Mr. Shiels, who now acts as Premier and Attorney-General. Mr. Shiels has made reform of the railway system of the colony his speciality, and in 1891 passed the amending Railway Management Bill, which reduced the powers of the permanently appointed Railway Commissioners, who in the next year were suspended by his Ministry, and finally relinquished office a few months later.

# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Shortland, Lieutenant Willoughby

Layout 2
​Shortland, Lieutenant Willoughby, R.N., sometime acting Governor of New Zealand, came of a Devonshire family, and entered the royal navy. In 1839 he accompanied Captain Hobson, the first Governor of New Zealand—on one of whose ships he had been a lieutenant—to that colony, which had not then been annexed by England. Landing at Auckland in Jan. 1840, the British sovereignty was formally proclaimed, and lieutenant Shortland appointed Colonial Secretary. In this capacity he was sent in June of the same year to Port Nicholson (Wellington) with a proclamation by the Governor dissolving the association which the settlers had formed for their mutual protection, and commanding them to recognise his own authority as the Queen's representative. The Port Nicholson settlers disclaimed all notions of disloyalty, and received Lieutenant Shortland—who does not appear to have been formally appointed Colonial Secretary till May 1841—with an effusion which dissipated all doubts in regard to their attitude. He acted for some months as police magistrate at Port Nicholson. On the death of Captain Hobson in Sept. 1842; Lieutenant Shortland assumed the reins and acted as administrator of the government of New ​Zealand till the arrival of Captain Fitzroy in Dec. 1843. This was an eventful period in the history of the colony, the massacre at Wairan occurring during his temporary régime. In his despatches home he condemned the course taken in the interest of the white claimants which led to the catastrophe, and he issued a proclamation locally warning all claimants to lands to avoid exercising acts of ownership until the rights in dispute had been adjudicated on. Lieutenant Shortland was very unpopular, and a petition was sent from Auckland in 1843 praying that he might not be appointed Governor of New Zealand, of which there seemed some fear. On Dec. 31st, 1843, immediately after the arrival of Captain Fitzroy, Captain Hobson's successor, Lieutenant Shortland, resigned the Colonial Secretaryship, and was subsequently appointed Governor of Nevis, and later on Lieutenant-Governor of Tobago, where he held office from 1854 to 1856. Lieutenant Shortland, who married in 1842 Isabella Kate Johnston, daughter of Robert A. Fitzgerald, of Geraldine, county Limerick, and Isabella (Johnston) his wife, retired to live on his property at Courtlands, Kingsbridge, Devon, where he died in 1869. His brother, Dr. Edward Shortland, who also resided in New Zealand, was the author of "The Southern Districts of New Zealand" (1851, Longmans); "Maori Traditions and Superstitions" (1854, Longmans); "Maori Religion and Mythology" (1882, Longmans).
# The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce/Bk2 Chapter 10

CHAP. X.
SOme will have it no Law, but the granted premises of another Law following, contrary to the words of Christ, Mark 10.5. and all other translations of gravest authority, who render it in form of a Law; agreeable to Malach. 2.16. as it is most anciently and modernly expounded. Besides the bill of divorce, and the particular occasion therein mention'd, declares it to bee orderly and legall. And what avails this to make the matter more righteous, if such an adulterous condition shal be mention'd to build a law upon without either punishment, or so much as forbidding; they pretend it is implicitly reprov'd in these words, Deut. 24.4. after she is defil'd; but who sees not that this defilement is onely in respect of returning to her former husband after an intermixt mariage; els why was not the defiling condition first forbidd'n, which would have sav'd the labour of this after law; nor is it seemly or piously attributed to the justice of God and his known hatred of sinne, that such a hainous fault as this through all the Law, should be onely wip't with an implicit and oblique touch (which yet is falsly suppos'd) and that his ​peculiar people should be let wallow in adulterous mariages almost two thousand yeares, for want of a direct Law to prohibit them; 'tis rather to be confidently assum'd that this was granted to apparent necessities, as being of unquestionable right and reason in the Law of nature, in that it stil passes without inhibition, ev'n when greatest cause is giv'n to us to expect it should be directly forbidd'n.
