their Moscovite kinsmen, they took ev-

by whom they had been subjected to
intOlerable tyranny, writes f. Cunliffe-
Owen in New York Sun.
The Czecho-SlOvaks fought hard and
well to the very last for the cause of
the entente, and when the bolshevski
betrayed Russia and her allies by con-
Guiding dishonorable and utterly con-
temptible peace at Brest-Litovsk they
withdrew into the interior and await
ed events. Last spring they decided
that they could best help the members
of their race in the dual empire by
making their way across Siberia to
America and thence to the French
front.
They made their way into Siberia,
helped everywhere by the respectable
inhabitants, who were wearied to death
of the bolsheviki and of their, an
archical and terrorist activities. They
did not, however form one large body.
They were too numerous for that. AS

have offered too many difficulties in
the way of food and transport. They

learned that their people had been rec

the powers of the entente and that the
latter had pledged themselves to the
emancipation of Bohemia, Moravia and
Slovakia from the despotic rule Of
Austria-Hungary and to their forma-
ton into a sovereign state. They also
were appraised that Doctor Masaryk
had been elected by the Czecho- Slovak
leaders as their president and chief
and had been accepted as such by the
governments of the entente.
1t was brought home to them that
they had been raised to the status of
allies of France, of the United States,
of Great Britain, Italy and Japan, and
that their military services would be
more useful to us in Siberia and in
Russia than on the French front. And

Repairing Great Wrong.
II must never be forgotten that in re-
storing sovereignty and independence
to the CZechO-Slovaks we are not Gre
ating anything new, but merely repair
ing great wrong. Few nations have
contributed more to the prosperity and
to the progress of central Europe than
Bohemia, whose people We're in an adj
vanced state of civilization when Ger
many was a region of boys and of rob-
Der barons.
Their university at Prague, founded
in 134S, is the oldest seat of learning
east of the Rhine, and it served as a
model of most of the universities SUBJ
sequently created on the continent.
The CzechS are an ancient race. They
were fiourishing in Bohemia away back
in the fifth century before Christ, and
they have always been noted for their
the direction of liberalism and democ-
racy, and above all for their indus
trial and commercial enterprise, thanks
to which they have been for the past
400 years the economic backbone of the
Hapsburg monarchy.
They were independent, and there
fore unfettered, until they foolishly
elected Emperor Ferdinand Of Austria
as their ruler in 1920, not only because
he was married to the daughter and
heiress of their last king of the dynasty
of st. Wenceslaus, but also because he
solemnly pledged himself to respect
their national rights and liberties.
Needless to add that Ferdinand fail
ed to keep his promises. This is a
popularity of the house of Hapsburg
When he found that his powers, which
were absolute in Austria proper, were
restricted in Bohemia he proceeded to
abolish the latter's national privileges
one by one.
Nearly Il hundred years later the
Czechs, led by their territorial aristOc-
despotism of the Austrian emperor,
Ferdinand II, who had shown himself
far more dangerous and hostile to Bo-
hernia as an ally than as an open en-
envy. The CZechs were defeated in
the memorable battle of the White
Mountain, which marked the end of
the independence of Bohemia as a ma
ton.
Always Oppressed by Teutons. :
From that time forth the Czecho-Slo-
vaks have been constant subject of
oppression and tyranny of the govern
ments of Vienna and of Pesth, encour-
aged and abetted by the Hohenzollern
dynasty, which has ever seen in
Czecho-Slovak nationalism and eco
nomic Importance an obstacle and
barrier TO its openly avowed designs
of extending its sovereignty from Ber-
lin to the Mediterranean, at the head
Of the Adriatic. Well nigh every rul-
er of the dual empire has pledged HIM
self at one period or another of his
reign to restore to the CZecho- Slovaks
their national independence and their
autonomy on the same footing as Hun
gary and TO have himself crowned at
Prague with the crown of ST. Wences-
laus and invested with the sceptre, the
orb and the mantle of that famous rul-
er and patron saint as king of Bo-
hernia. In no case have these promises
been kept, not even by the present
Emperor Charles, who gave an under
taking of this kind on his accession to
the throne of the dual empire.
