recognizes that a state OF belligerency
exists between the CzechO-SlOvaks thus
organized and the German and AustrO-
Hungarian empires.
ut also recognizes the Czecho-Slo-
yak national council as a defact0 bel
ligerent government, clothed with pro-
per authority TO direct the military and
political affairs OF the Czecho-Slovaks.
"The government of the United States
further declares that IL is prepared to
enter formally into relations With the
defacto government thus recognized for
purpose OF prosecuting the war against
the common enemy the empires OF
Germany and Austria-Iiungary."
Recognition OF one government by an
other as a defacto regime is not the
fullest type OF recognition that can be
accorded. IL means, in brief. that this
nation regards the Czecho-Slovales as
an operating government OF sufficient
stability to warrant the confidence and
support OF this nation. Recognition Of
the Czechos as a defacto organization
means stabilizing them and giving them
a standing in the community of nations
whereby they can obtain credit, and
whereby after the war, they can have
a place in the sun.
r II means, further that any lingering
idea Of Germany and Austria controlling
this group is dissipated.

The chief attractions yesterday were
the automobile and horse races In the
afternoon and the fireworks In the
eevning. Today is the annual free day
FOR children at the Fair, and the usual
twarm Of little folks was there. The
races. vaudeville stunts and fireworks
display, and pageant by the play
ground children, are the special pro-
gram features for today.
Although the grounds are new, the
Falr-goers find no difficulty In reach
ing them by the West sixth street troll
ley line, or In finding their way around
the grounds after they get there. Ihe
midway Is the first section encountered
after leaving the turnstile, and immeoi-
