If the refusal to squander their lives for cause
! tor which these powers prosecute this war con-
sttutes treason" and it must be borne in mind
that these people have no interest in and do not
believe in the aims of this war as waged by the
Teutonic powers, then the Czechs will forever
glory in the fact that they were TRAITORS"
At every opportunity the Czech soldiers de-
sert the Teutonic armies to impart information
OF military value, relative to the status of the
Hun forces, to the commander of the allied
army in whose midst they seek shelter, refuge
and asylum. Possibly in military sense the
Czechs are insignificant; nevertheless, by their
course they exact an enormous toll from the
ranks of the missionaries of human progress"
They are compelled under existing circum-
stances, to avail themselves OF the best weapons
at their disposal in order to attain their goal,
and they act in no wise different than the
Teutons would act is similarly situated.
| The Czecho-Slovaks are one of the most
| sorely tried nations among the Allies. Their
| lighting men at all times without a foot of
national soil to stand on. they are deserters in
| variably, but who before deserving were driven,
between German and Magyar soldiers, on pillag-
! ing expeditions through trackless wilderness
| only catching their breath in prison camps of
France, Italy or Russia; then reforming under
| foreign but friendly leaders to fight for their
just cause and the Allies cause of humanity.
The injustices and expressions of the Czechs
have been directed against the individual as
we'll as against the nation. The bitter school
of practical experience, under the harsh tutelage
Of German and Magyar despots, has taught the
Czechs that Bohemia's freedom and liberty may
depend on the act of one person. Every one OF
them being imbued with that spirit, he has
trained and nerved himself for the supreme
moment, that moment when the secrihce of his
all. or if need be of himself shall materialize
Bohemia's ambitions. They realize that they
connot act as body, but that they may act as
individuals. Each Czech acts for himself in
such way that the particular act he bravely
and daringly consummates will bring nothing
but joy and happiness to Bohemia and her
people. Even though each individual acts for
himself yet through Unborn individual purpose,
so it appears on the surface, the Czechs are
acting in concert to accomplish a unified and
well defined purpose. In substance, the unen-
durable expressions and injustices have made
every Czech traitor, if such a thing is posi-
BILE. to the sitting, incompetent and arrogant
house of Hapsburg and its cluster of leechifed
satellites, and each seeks to avenge the wrongs
committed not only against himself but to
avenge the wrongs committed against his kns-
men and his nation.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN

German drive southwark between Sois-

three pushes they contemplated this

toward the Channel ports, according to

SARCASTIC ALSO
TOWARD BRITISH

BY Newspaper Enterprise Association
AMSTERDAM, July 24-That the Ger
man people are still being fed lies
about Americas unpreparedness for
war and inability to send a stable force
10 France this year is shown by an
article by the military correspondent Of
the "Deutsche Tsgeszeltung," who en-
courages his readers TO believe IL there
are any Americans at the front they
are quite negligible.
The Deutsche Tageszeitung says in
part:
"The true position OF Americas mill
tsry help Is gradually revealed Already
we see the statement in the American
Press that the hurried shipments Of un-
trained troops were only undertaken to
plscate the allies who were supplicat-
ing for help.
English voices, too, are clamoring
loudly in favor Of holding the western
front with British troops until a great
and fully equipped American army has
really arrived (which will be some
where about the early part Of next
century, because the experience gain
ed hitherto Of the doings OF the badly
trained little American army have been
very far from encouraging.
This question simply resolves Itself
into this: Are the British really able
10 hold the western front so long with
their own troops?'
'Gn the first place she may have a
long time TO wait; and, secondly, all
sorts OF things might happen in the
meantime. Nor should we forget about
those hundreds OF thousands OF Ameri-
can aeroplanes which, as was dinned
into the worlds ears last year with
the voice Of a giant fishwife, were by
now TO be dealing destruction among
the HUNS, but which have not yet ma
terialized.

again the products OF the entente witch
es' cauldron have passed up the chin
