An example Of the methods pursued
in this country By Austrian consuls
in their efforts TO compel closest ad-
herence TO Austria Hungary among
both naturalized and unnaturallzed cit
izens in the United States IS shown by

"To stop once and forever the work
carried on among the Croatisns In the
United States by the National Croatian
Society, this imperial and royal con-
sulate has taken upon itself TO prevent
the reelection OF the present supreme
committee of that society.
"'The Narodni List in New York and
our loyal Croatian paper in this city
have been for long time carrying on
a keen campaign against Marohni and
his consorts. The National Croatian
Society is very prominent society IN
America, and in the opinion OF this
consulate it is of very great Importance
that we succeed in overthrowing the
present administration and placing IN
its stead an administration which will
be loyal to US.
Owing 20 The activity Of this con-
sulate. we already notice in many Croa-
tian circles a discomfort being stirred
up with Nr. Marohni and his work, and,
thanks 20 our further propaganda in
the press. we may expect this dissatis-
faction TO increase.
This consulate has already done
everything possible 70 win over to our
side several individual delegates. As
the organization is spread all over
America, however, 1t is OF the greatest
Importance that every imperial and
royal consulate in the United States
should do everything in its power to
assist this consulate TO carry out our
propaganda with every means in their
power.
THE reelection Of the delegates
against whose names | set q cross in
the inclosed must be prevented az all
costs. and especially a strong and limit
less propaganda must be carried on
against Mr.. Marohni and Mr.. Unkovi.
