Our national aspiration is only TO
realize, fully and completely what is
within US. aided by the great mate
rial resources of our fat lands.
We are rich, maTvelOusly rich in
every way. as Bismarck told the
world in his epigram-so rich in
spirit, mind and matter that the
average American has no conception
of it. 1t is this fact that makes of
it such a tragedy that we have for
so long been suppressed, instead of
being allowed to develop and to give
to the world the great gifts we have
for it.
Larger Than Belgium.
We are a state, to begin with,
four times larger than Belgium,
with 30.O00.0 900 inhabitants, in the
most fertile spot in Europe. This
earth of ours yields oountifully ev-
cry sort of food, and covers won
derful stores of coal and iron and
other minerals. To transform these
raw materials into products, we
have built countless first-class in
dustrial plants, and we are, as you
know, worldfamous for our glass

and that instead of gaining territory
they would lose 1t in the end. And
we played our political cards accord
that we could do so,
inasmuch as We felt that right this
time was going to triumph.
We have learned-we, the pearl of
Austria''-from bitter experience the
vulnerable spots in the armor OF the
Germans. and the world can safely
leave the new republic of the Czecho-
Slovaks to cope in the future with
the mad dreams of Berlin. We know
exactly where to apply the caustIc
that will shrivel them up forever.
And we have men brilliant in the
arts as well as in business. We have
an intellectual life in Bohemia that
vies with any. The official statistics
show that the illiterate percentage
of our people is much less than Ger
many's. and we have painters and
writers and musicians that are
abreast Of those of all other highly
civilized countries.
But it is in politics that we will
make our great name, once we are
a free republic. as we assuredly shall
be, thanks to President Wilson. For
our political wits have been sharp
ened by adversely, by our having to
use them to preserve at all our ma
tional spirit. We are the natural
political barrier to the great German
dream-which is world domination by
way of the east.
Would Block Germany.
Not only historically you will find
that we have so far prevented Ger
many from extending to the east
for she has never been able to con-
solidate US with her nationally-but
you will also find that by our geo.
graphical placement we oppose her
trend to the great, rich east. We
Czechs are a wedge into the very
heart of Germany from the east
only over our dead spirit can she
carry on in her bloody trip toward
Bagdad. Once We are freed, we shall
be a political stumbling block.

West of the Meuse, Oct. 3-To fight
a bloody combat on the site of where
his little home stood four years ago
was the experience Of a certain
French soldier whom Maj. Bruce

over the top in that fierce struggle
which resulted in the liberation of
the site, in the village of Cheppy.
The French soldier was on a fur
lough, but insisted on following the
Americans as they rushed the site Of
his former home. now a shambles.
When the ground had been recon-

 PHOENIX BOYS TASK

James L. Shelly. son of Mrs. A. J. Rouckler of Phoenix, who at IS years of age enlisted last. February in the coast artillery. has been heard from in France, where he as one of 133 men who volunteered their services to carry high explosives to the front line of bat tie during furious bombardment by the enemy. It was a task that required good nerves and brave hearts. Jim did his part and lived to write his mother about it. He also enclosed a. steel etched letter from the king of England, presented to him which he asked his mother to frame and keep for him. The letter reads:
