APPEALS TO GALICIANS
TO THROW OFF YOKE
Russian Commander Urges Slav Re
volt to Bring About a Re-
united Russia.

st. Petersburg Aug 1s-Grand Duke
Nicholas NichoIaIvitch, commander-In-
chief Of the Russian army. today ad-
dressed a proclamation to the Slavs Of
Galicia, a crown land OF Austria-H Hun
gary, exhorting them to rise against the
Germans and .Austrians. The proclama-
ton says:
Brothers. the judgment OF God is be-
ing wrought. With Christian patience
and decentralization. the Russian people
of Galicia languished for centuries under
foreign yoke. but neither iattery nor
persecution could break their hope for
liberty.
AS temptuous torrent breaks
through walls OF rock to Join the sea,
so there exists no force which can arrest
the Russian peoples in their rush toward
unihcation. Let there be no longer any
portion OF Russia subjugRted to foreign
power. Let the country which forms the
heritage OF Saint Vladimir throw OF the
foreign yoke and raise the banner OF
united Russia"

the King as he rode through the streets

That's fine. [ saw by the Congressional
