Of American industries down there,

as the proper thing to be done in such

RUSSIANS AND HUN SHACkLES
Bohemian Educator Sure Slavs Will
Soon See Light.

Washington, May 4.-Closing days
of the war will see Russia arising
again to strike off the German letters,
according to Prof. Thomas Garriguc
Masaryk, Bohemian educator and pc.
litical leader, in an interview yester-
day. DR.. Masaryk, after eleven
months in Russia, is now in Washing
ton to promote the interests of b.
hemians and Jugoslars. "The masses
of the Russians are not satisfied with
peace under German domination" said
DR. Masaryk. conditions in the
former realm of the car are chaotic,
but it can be noted easily that the
forces are at work to unite the agen-
cies that will lead the people to the
liberty SO earnestly desired"
German influence in Russia today is
welded solely by the sword, DR.. Ma
saryk said. Sentiment in Moscow and
other great cities is entirely for the
allies. AS an indication of Russia's
real attitude, DR.. Masaryk said, he
was permitted to organize $4,000
Czech and Slovene prisoners of war
in Russia, who are now ready for
service with the allies if they could be
moved to a warning front. The b.
hemians, he said, must be represented
at the peace table as a reward for
their great service to the allied nations
in promoting internal dissension in the
central powers. AS the backbone of
the industrial life of Austria Hun
gary, Bohemia has done much to Grip
pie the dual monarchy's military eff
fectiveness.
Moscow, May 14.-Nikolai Lenine,
Bolshevik premier, has sent the fol-
lowing telegram broadcast, regarding
Petrograd's catastrophe position"
and demanding help: "a counter-revo-
luton is raising its head, turning the
discomfort of the starving masses
against the soviets." American Am
bassador Francis has returned to Vo-
logda. Four Moscow newspapers have
been suspended because they published
reports of German ultimatum. One
was fined $4,000 rubles. Eleven others
are being prosecuted. Troops of the
Lettish rifles raided the headquarters
of revolutionary bodies, making sew
eral arrests.
