Masaryk, Leader of the Czecho-
Slovaks, Tells the Aims
of His Followers

~ZECHO-SLOVAK forces distributed across
~ great part of the width of Siberia along
the railway have not only ousted the Bolsheviki
from Vladivostok and reestablished order there
abouts, enabling the anti-Bolshevik Russians there
to set up a Government but have also, apparently,
beaten the Bolsheviki around Irkutsk, at the CEN
tire of Siberia, and dominated all territory near
the railway from Irkutsk westward to the FOlga
region of European Russia
Future action by these forces awaits the decision
of Prof Thomas G. Masaryk, president of the
Czecho Sovak National Council.
He is Commander in Chief of the Czecho- Slovak
army, very much as President Wilson is of the
forces of the United States. At present he is in
New York. presumably in touch with Washington
and waiting upon the President decision as to
intervention He declines to discuss that subject
until the President shall have spoken, but afirms
that the people he represents entirely at one
with the Allies and ourselves, and that their army
is at the disposal of the interallied command.
Consulted With President Wilson.
Early last spring Prof. Masaryk left Russia,
where he had been augmenting the Czecho- Slovak
army and looking after its interests He en-
deavored to arrange with the Bolshevk Govern
ment for the unmoested passage of the Czecho-
Slovaks across Siberia route to fight in France,
and he supposed that he had succeeded. He came
to the United States by way of Nladivostok and
the Pacific. He has recently been received by
President Wilson. Whether their interview con-
cerned itself with the reported intention to organize
a new Slav force for operations in Austria Hun
gary in conjunction with the Italians does not
appear.
After Prof Masaryk's departure from Russia the
Czecho-Slovak army, 100000 strong, began the
journey, apparently by instruments. Exactly what
happened at Vladivostok three weeks ago, when
the first instalment found itself impeded there by
The sun., 1918-07-14

The head of the council and idol of all the BOhe-
mians and Slovaks is slight scholarly and rather
frail appearing man of perhaps 60, with remark
ably alert and perceptive eyes He speaks literally
perfect English quietly and from choice, not from
difficulty slowly. He has lectured in this country
at the University of Chicago and elsewhere; and
Mrs. Masaryk is American by birth
1t is said of him that in boyhood he was appren-
ticed to blacksmith, and that in 1877 he threw
himself into river at Lepsic to rescue woman
from drowning. Nothing about his physical aspect
suggests such history now But he had an excit-
ing and adventurous time of it in escaping, first
from Austria Hungary to Allied territory at the
beginning of the war; and more recently from Rus
STA to this country.
He had been prescribed by the Austrian Imperial
Government, and would have been executed if he
had been caught As it was, his property was con-
fscated and his daughter, Miss Alice Masaryk, i'm
prisoned. Her release procured through ener-
getic action by American womens societies, to
which she was known for social service work she
had done in Chicago.
Force of $4,000 at the Beginning.
DR.. Masaryk says the original size of the Czecho-
Slovak force in Russia was $4,000 men. They were
in Bohemian regiments, and went over to the Rus
slams soon as they were sent to the front against
them. They did not, however, escape without pay
ing heavy penalty. The captures in transit, fol-
lowed by executions amounted to the defamation
of some Of the regiments
Later in Russia largely through DR.. Masaryk's
personal efforts the force recruited to double
its first strength
'The Central Powers he says positively, will
never succeed in using any of our people in any
military way. Neither will the Germans be able for
very long time to repenish their military
strength by drawing upon the Bolshevik element in
Russia. As you know, project to raise Bolsheyik

the Bolshevik is not known. The Czecho-Slovak
commander at length, in self-defence, demanded
that the Bolshevik military authorities disarm

prisoners When the demand was refused short
campaign made the Czecho-Sovaks masters of the
situation.
Since then the following instalments of their
army have asserted themselves from central Siberia
westward, and fighting between them and the Red
Guard forces is now in progress.
Prof. Masaryk is particularly anxious to make it
clear that it is not the Czecho Slovaks themselves
who have set up the new Provisional Government
at Vladivostok
Policy One of on-Interference.
Their policy is non-interference in the affairs of
other peoples. What the political complexion of
the new Government is, except that it is anti-Bol
sheyik, he has not yet learned. An officer of the
Czecho-Slovak army is now on his way to this coun-
try to report the situation to him. Meanwhile, he
says the confusion is such that he can make little
more out of the dispatches than any one else.
He is not disposed to believe that it is entirely
the cadet or bourgeois faction of Russians, the
party of Lvof and Mliukoff, which is in control at
Vladiyostok, as has been rumored.
The sole present object in life, he says, of the
Czecho- Soyaks in arms is to fight the German, the
Austrian and their long oppressor, the Magyar
Hungarian wherever they find them. They had
hoped it would be in France. However, "Gen.
Foch is our Commander in Chief of course. have
been in communication with him, and we are at his
disposal"
Ultimately DR.. Masaryk, as leader of his people,
hopes with them TO see their country, Moravia, b.
hernia and Slovakia, an independent state At pres
ent it is occupied by the Austro Hungarians, prob
ably with some German cooperation, as if it were
Belgium or Rumania rather than nominal part
of the Austro- Hungarian Empire from which GER
tain regiments had deserted to the enemy. '..
