/ States of America, in Congress as
sembled, have declared that a state
of war exists between the United

Government. and the President is
thereby authorized and directed to
employ the entire naval and militia
ry forces of the United States with
the resources of the Government, to
carry on this righteous war and
bring it to a successful termination,
and
Whereas the unnaturaliZed Bo-
hemians (Czechs) and Slovaks in the
United States, though technically
subjects of Austria-Hungary are
at heart and in practice loyal and
faithful supporters of our Govern
ment at home and abroad, as shown
by their war activities in France,
England and Italy, for which acti.
vities, and very properly, they are
considered and treated by those
countries as friends and allies,
j Therefore be it resolved, by the
Bohemians and Slovaks of the City
of Baltimore and the State of Mary
land, - Bohemians and Slovaks b!
birth or descent but Americans b.
choice and adoption, = in mass
meeting assembled, that we hereb.
declare our answering loyalty t.
the President and the United State
!. of America, and pledge to them ou
undivided support.
And be it further resolved, b.
the Bohemians and Slovaks of tn
City of Baltimore and State of Ma
ryland, that we do hereby thanl
, the President for the kind and ia
2 vorable consideration he has accor
ded those of us not fully naturali
zed, as set forth in his recent pro
clamation, and beg to assure hin
that his confidence in our people a
friends fo the United States and it
allies, has not been misplaced.
