Chicago Declaration.
JuaosIavs are for federal republic, embracing all
JusosIav Nations i'm the Balkans,
Bugarians included.
Liberty and Freedom for all.
Because of this Declaration the Leaders of
SIovenes i'm America are called Traitors:

Important political events of the past,
caused either by this world war or
which have direct connection with
same, have above all pressed forward
the right of peoples to decide by and
for themselves about their future; from
an ethical standpoint there never was
any doubt about this right, but the
same can not be anything else but of
academic significance as long as this
world is ruled by systems which in fact
give to governments, aye, also to indi-
,viduals the supreme rule and authority
over and above the nations.
During this war, especially in it's lat
ter period the foundations of these un-
popular systems commenced to totter.
With one powerful stroke Russia has
liberated itself of despotism of ear
and thereby saved the civilized world
from perilS of one of the most DANCE
rous autocratic powers. With its sue
cessful revolution the Russian Democ-
racv became an invaluable factor for a
free development of the civilized world
along the democratic lines. Other au-
tocracies lost with the fall of czaIsm
their staunchest support; the reJuVen'
ated Russia is reforming in such pro
oressive and undaunted manner that it
is becoming an example to democracies
of rest of the world And by doing so,
it is becoming a power that must be
reckoned with at future international
developments and especially at peace
conferences. essential to conclusion of
this war.
The New Russia made known to all
the world its peace terms, which reject
all annexatiOns, all war indemnltles
and Enthusiastically point out the right
of any nation to decide about its own
future and fortune.
The call of Russian Democracy e
choed and reechoed. The President of
United States declares in his note to
the Russian provisional government
the aims of America in this war, stating
that no nation shall be forced to live
under a government contrary to ITS
wish.
The government of Great Britain de-
clares its willingness to revise the pacts
made by and between the Allies before
the Russian revolution. 1t is well
known about these pacts that certain
agreements were made about provinces
and nations without regard of the will
of the nations>concerneG and this state
ment of British government points out
the fact, that the principles of Russian

And did not our government extend It's
helping hand to the Russian nation
when it overthrow it's despOt Nikolay
Romanoff2 Can't you see generous A
meriea supporting the Russian provl'
sional government?
Mr.. Weber forgot that he lives IN
free country and that America joined
this war to establish an everlasting
peace and it will do anything and eve
rything possible to maintain universal
peace in the future.
The republican movement on the part
of American Slovenes is not an anar-
chistic movement of a few individuals,
but in back of it we find the most po-
werful benefit organizations with
total membership of 100000. The lea
ders of Slovenic Republican Alliance
are in no way connected with the go
vernment of Austria, Germany nor
their secret agents. They have no rea-
son to be, but on the contrary we know
of some men, on whose heads is prlce
offered by the Austrian government
just because they have demanded re-
forms and worked for the overthrow OF
present Austrian despotic and autocra-
tic government Mr.. Weber, do you
believe for moment that these well
meaning men residing in this free coun-
try would sell their convictions for
few silver crowns or political carrier
in rotten state2 Were they such
men, as you picture them they would
not have to be in America and work
hard for their living, but could hold
good government positions in Austria.
And without reflection on Mr.. Webers
character, we only wish, that he could
show such clean pair of hands as the
Slovenian leaders of this republican
movement.
For consideration of our American
readers and those who have read Mr..
Webers articles, we print elsewhere
the main features of the celebrated
Corfu declaration and the Declaration
of the Slovenic Republican Alliance. =
Compare them and be the judge.
Glas svobode. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1902-1931, 1917-09-14

The resolution of Corfu as adopted
unanimously August last reads as fol-
lows:
81. The state of the Serbs, the
Croats and the Slovenes, who are also
known under the name of JugOslavs,
shall be a free and Independent King
dom with nondivisible territory and a
homogeneous population. The state shall
be constitutional democratic and par
liamentary monarchy with the dynasty
of the Karageorgevic at it's head, who
at all times did share the ideas and SEN
timents of their people and did always
put liberty and the will of the people
above everything else.
.. The name of the state shall be:
The Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes and the title of the ruler:
King of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes
3. The state shall have one coat of
arms, one flag and one crown, the same
to be composed of our present several
emblems; the unity shall be represented
bv the coat of arms and the standard
of the Kingdom The standard of the
Kingdom as symbol of unity shall be
displayed on all state buildings of the
Kingdom.
4. The separate flags: the Serbian,
the Croati;tn and the Slovenian, shall
be permitted to be displayed on all oc-
casions; the>same holds good for the Sc
parate coats of arms.
). Three national names: the Serbian,
the Croatian and the Slovenian. are e.
quail before the law in the whole King
dom. and every one shall have the pri-
vilege to use any Of them on all occa-
sions OF public life and before the au-
thorities.
6. Both alphabets, the Cyrilic and the
Latin shall have equal rights and every
one shallbe entitled to their unrestrict-
ed use in the whole Kingdom; the Royal
authorities and the local autonomous
authorities as well shall be obliged and
shall have the right to use both alpha
bets according to the wishes of the ci-
tizens.
Z. All acknowledged religions shall
be professed umestrictedly as the Or
thodox. the Roman Catholic and the
Mohamedan, which are mainly being
professed by our people; they shall be
equal and shall have equal rights in re-
gard to the state: in view of that the
legislative shall be charged with the
duty to insure religious peace in accord
ance with the spirit and the traditions
of all our people.
s. The calendars shall be made to
conform at the earliest opportunity
9. The territory of the Kingdom OF
the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes shall
comprise all lands in which our people
of three names live in compact masses
and undivided Each attempt at par
titioning the same would be OF detr1-
ment to the vital interests of the COM
monwealth. Our people desire nothing
belonging to some one else, yet they
demand what is their own. They de-

Gives comparison.

Mr.. Weber in his defense of king of
Servia, questions: "What would the
world say if somebody would demand
that Albert of Belgium resign after all
these years of heroic devotion and dis
play of love for his cOuntry?' He an
swers the question himself. The world
would resent and now what is sauce for
the goose is the sauce for the gander,
therefore no one shall dare to ask of
Peter KarageOrgevich that he should
resign in the name of democracy and
repubheanism.
Mr.. Weber has forgotten two main
facts. The first one is this The Bel
oian people are satisfied with their
king and form of government. SO are
the English people, therefore there is
no need of us telling them what is best
for them, yet we believe, that II the
Belgian and English peoples would
choose to have republican form of
government, they would approach their
rulers in proper way and make their
wishes known to them; they would do
the same thing as the Russians have
done to their Czar; they would demand
reforms, they would make them abdl-
cate voluntarily or by force. The peo-
pies viii would be the law.
The second fact that he forgot is
this: Only Servians have the right to
say whether they want to be ruled by
their present king or not. And when
it comes, that the State of Servia would

We heard what Mr.. A. n. Weber had
to- say in Hrvatska ZaStava about the
Republic and Monarchy and believe
that he is in class of his own. At
the end of his long article in which he
offers his apology for mOnarehiSm or
royalty, which he SO unably defends,
we also note in Hrvatska Zastava a
short notice to their readers that Mr.
Weber, sOrely to state in view of pre-
sent events is no more Editor of Hrvat-
ska ZaStava.
Whether or not he has been appoint
ed an ambassador or one of the higher
ups of the royalty that he tried to de-
fend and for whom he as q citizen of
United States is working is 4 matter
of conjecture. However, we wish him
the best of luck.
1t is q burning shame for any citizen
to periure himself especially in such
critical times as we have them now; it
is q disgrace to us all that such royal
lists can be found among our citizens,
who faithful to traditions of their fore
fathers who shed their blood and sa-
crificed their all for freedom and iber-
tv. have declared thru their valiant
President Wilson, that this Nation is
not in war against any people, that It Is
not In war for gain ana supremacy, Ddt
is warning against the kaiserism, prus-
sianism, militarism, imperialism and au-
toeracy and to set the small nations
free.
The people under q mOnarchial and
autocratic rule are not free people, no
matter how democratic such state may
be. no matter what liberties are qua
ranteed by the constitution as long as
the king has the supreme right, is the
supreme Judge and final authority over
all laws, rights, property and life of his
subjects. Austria Hungary is a consti-
tutional monarchy, the rights of the
people are vouched by this piece OF
parchment, but of what good is con
stitution when above it sits Il despOt
and has the power to destroy all con
stitutional rights at his pleasure.
The Jugoslavs want a constitution
that will compare with the constitution
of United States, that will be above
any king or despot and could not be
destroyed by single person at his Will.
The Jugoslavs want the best the democ-
raey can offer them and that is the
free will of the people and govern
ment responsible to the people. Hun
dred forty and some odd years of ex-
istence of our government is the best
proof that republican form of govern
ment is the best and most efficient. -
The history shows that any other form
of government has been a utter failure,
detrimental to free development of its
people. The present war is the best
proof of our contentious.
Glas svobode. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1902-1931, 1917-09-14
The undesirable Bulgaria.

The kingdom of Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes as defined by the Corfu Dec
laration is not q guaranty for the per-
manent stability and an equilibrium IN
the Balkans for the simple reason, that
besides the Serbs, CrOats and Slovenes,
there lives in Balkans another Slavic
nation that will have to be taken into
consideration. And this nation are the
Buloars. Unless the Bulgars are taken
into this great Balkan State, there Will
be another great war before long; Il
war for domination of Macedonia. The
world shall not be deceived with
dreams. Such kingdom as outlined
by the Corfu Declaration will give a
casus belh before this carnage is for
gotten. The Teutonic. powers claim e.
ven now, that they will consider 1t a
victory for themselves if they can keep
the Balkans States separated, II they
can manage to keep under their control
the Bulgarian provinces and thus NAM
tain a direct railroad connection be-
tween Bremen and BOsporus. And IN
order to create big buffer State that
will impede the Teutonic aspirations IN
the East, to settle the Balkan question
once and forever, the Slovenes propose
the creation of federal Republic, en-
braeing all South Slavic nations on the
Balkans. Our diplomats and all those
that have any knowledge of history
and the Balkan question will admit
that this is the only logical solution OF
this question.
And when Mr.. Weber tries to point
out that the leaders of the republican
movement among SlOvenes and Juge-
slavs are traitors to the allied cause
that we are furthering this to accom-
plish our inimieal ends then he is a ma
lieious defamer and hypocrite, know
ing that he has written his article to
defend the house of Karageorgevlch
and to down the will of the people. =
Ninety per cent of all Jugoslavs will
vote for republican form of government
(Servians ineluded) if such opportunity
is given them and the bureaucratic job
seekers in Greater Servia know this.

Accused of high treason.

We do not see wherein the Slovenes
can be accused of high treason when
they are working to lead their own peo-
pie to the light, when we are encour-
aged by our own government, which has
repeatedly stated, that we are not in
this war for personal gain or to pun
ish misled people, but to Gberate them.

WHO IS a TRAITOR?
Peoples rights defended. What
will become Of kingdom Of
Montenegro?

absorbe foreign territory, Montenegro,
Croatia, SlavOnia, Dalmatia, Bosnia,
Herzegovina, CarniOla, Styria etc, then
it becomes an open question whether or
not are the people living in these pro-
vinces satisfied to be annexed by ano-
ther nation. FOrcefull annexation would
mean for these people, that they shall
have no choice in the form of govern
ment. but when it comes that several
small nations are banding themselves
together for the purpose to create
bigger State. then the said nations have
the right to elect and choose their form
of government. United States and Rus
sia have declared themselves against
annexation, therefore the nations Will
and do have full right to talk about
their future plans and of their form of
Government without regard of present
form of government they are subject to.
What about king of Montenegro?
And while Mr. Weber defends the
king of Servia and compares his with
the king of Belgium, he completely ig-
nores the king of Montenegro. What
will the world say about the Serbian
king for deposing his fellow ruler and
grab his land? viii the world call him
traitor and schemer?. Such 10 We.
find in Mr.. Webers article.
All honor due to king of Servia and
any other king as far as we are con-
eerned. If their subjects must fight to
uphold their thrones and fat incomes
then we believe it is also their duty to
fight against any invader that is try
inc to oust them. All kings will do
that, they must or give up their crown,
power, royal incomes and look for
quite nook on this globe.
