FOR PAN-SAVISM
Czech Leader Is Hailed as Eberator
by Pro-Russians.

sped1 Cable to Ths Warrington Herald.
Vienna. Oct. 15.-The Czech leader
and former deputy, DR.. Karl Kra-
macE. who was sentenced to death for
high treason. but pardoned and liber-
ated by Emperor Charles several
months ago. has been permitted to
return to Bohemia. although the gov
eminent announced at the time of his
discharge from. prison that he would
have to remain away from his native
country until the end of the war.
The journey of the pro-Russian
politician. who SO narrowly escaped
the gallows, 20 Prague and Semlin
resembled the triumphal march Of a
conquering. hero. Ali the towns and
villages along the railroads were deco
rated with flags and bunting. and at
every station great crowds greeted
him with flying banners and brass
bands. In q number of speeches he
declared that he would continue his
fight for Pan-Slavism and the inde-
pendence of Bohemia. His attacks on
Germany and the Austrian govern
ments were greeted with cheers. but
the police did not dare to interfere.
