Known By the
Enemies He Has

Count Czernin, in the course Of his
last speech in Vienna, made "the
wretched and contemplate Masaryk"
responsible for the failure of Austria
to conclude a Strong" peace. On
April 13 delegation of twenty three
Jugo-Slav deputies and four women
went to Prague to protest against Count
Czernin's attacks on the Czechs and
Masaryk. One of them, Pavelich by
name, said, Seventy years ago, in 1s4s.
we Serbs, Croats and Slovenes came to
Prague in order to save Austria. To-
day we come to save ourselves. The
glove which Czernin threw at the
Czechs is also a challenge to US, and
more firmly than ever we shall stand
together until victory is won"
Masaryk was one of the first men to
warn Allied statesmen of the dangers
OF the Pan-German plan of Mitteleu-
ropa and to perceive in the dissolution
of Austria Hungary and the establish
ment in the place of the Dual Mon
archy of independent states the only
practical way of checking the Pan
German aspirations in Central and
Eastern Europe.
His uncompromising attitude toward
the hopeless kind of government pro-
vided by the Hapsburgs and their tools
led him to leave Austria, withdraw into
exile and range himself on the side
OF the Allies. He has undergone the
fate of all the leading Czech politicians.
After loyalty striving for years for a
reconciliation with the Germans and
the Austrian state, they end by realz-
ing the impossibility Of such an aim.
In order to save the future of free b.
hernia from the necessity of renewing
these vain experiments he placed him
self at the head of the Czecho-S lovak
revolutionary movement. AS the presi-
dent of the Czecho- Slovak National
Council in Paris he has been working
in England, France, Italy and Russia
for the independence of Bohemia. After
the outbreak of the Russian revolution
he went to Russia, where he organized
Czecho-Slovak army of $4,000 from
among the men who had gone over into
Russia from the Austrian army when
ever opportunity offered. This army
will now go to France by way of Vladi-
vostok and the Pacific and some IA
nous atlantic port" Following the
signing of the Brest-Litovsk peace
treaty, he came to America by way of
Siberia and Japan. For his anti-Aus-
TRAN activities in the Allied countries
he was sentenced to death by Aus

The Keynote Of
His War Policy

Was his message the key to his popu-
larity? 1t seemed as he delivered it
a simply told tale. 1t was his idea of
why the war could not be won for the
Allies unless Austria Hungary was dis
membered, and the different small ma
tions comprising it each had an op-
portunity for freedom such as America
possesses, founded upon the principles
of the Declaration of Independence. So
long as Bohemia, astride the highway
from Berlin to Vienna, Budapest and
the Danube and the Black Sea, was
antagonistic to the Central European
monarchies there could be no peace
nor any Mitteleuropa. There is no Aus
tria, only family supporting itself by

Who is Masaryk?

On Saturday evening, May Is, ten
thousand Bohemians, Slovaks and other
Slavs, marched down Fifth Avenue.
many Of the men and women CARRIED
in their striking national dress. in
honor OF Masaryk. Half of this num-
Der crowded into Carnegie Hall, while
the remainder waited outside hoping
Tor an opportunity to see him. The
meeting was in his honor Those out
side were so insistent in their demands
for glimpse Of Masaryk that he was
forced to leave the platform and show
himself to the throng.
When President Butler Of Columbia
University introduced him to the great
audience as one Of the half-dozen lead
ing statesmen Of the world the floor
OF heads rose to new level and broke
into a tossing sea of color and sound.
The boxes, tier after tier, and those
in the seats in the far-off fourth
heaven took up the shouting and the
tumult. Bohemian and American flags
waved. For FIVE minutes the tumult
continued.
What was there about the man which
had made him such a popular hero :?
Was it his magnetic presence The
spare man who stood before them was
slxty-eight years old. A thin gray
mustache and beard scarcely hid the
sensitive lips. The fine contour of his
head was easily followed, for his hair
was thin fringe. There he stood.
In sombre evening dress, the color
mounting to his cheeks occasionally as
he glanced through his glasses out
over the tumultuous throng, quiet,
scholarly looking man.
Perhaps he possessed oratorical
powers which would sway men as an
artist swings his brush.
He began slowly in low tone of
voice. 1t rose little as he proceeded,
but seldom did it take on the forceful
tones of the trained and confident ora
tor. He was never at loss, however,
for word. Occasionally he stroked
his face thoughtfully passing his hand
from his eyes downward over his mouth
to his chin. That seemed strange for
speaker in Carnegie Hall, where it
is difficult enough to be heard under
any circumstances. Evidently he was
not striving for oratorical effect. In
fact. what he said smacked of the
scholar in the study. He was not a
great speechmaker such as we expect
leaders in democracy to be. Only once
did he exhibit his power over his audi
ence. For a moment he addressed
those before him in his and their ma
tive tongue. He spoke with the same
slow. careful choosing of words. Sud-
denly, raising his arm to horizontal
position, he pointed straight out with
the index finger. A single sentence
accompanied this gesture. 1t was as if
conductor had raised his baton and
his chorus had risen to its feet in
front of him. The great audience be-
fore him rose as one man and stood
in serried ranks, obedient to his single
word.

Rome Agreement
Clears Some Points

Through the pact reached recently
at Rome at the conference of leaders
OF the oppressed peoples of Austria
hungary, some of the links took form.
Each of these nationalistic groups un-
dertook cooperation with the others.
Italy became party to the understand
ing thus removing serious obstacle
IN the form of imperialistic detectives
along the eastern side of the Adriatic
She substituted democratic motives for
her participation in the war and fur
nshed an anchorage for the southern
end Of the chain.
The chief obstacle in the past to free
dom from the yoke of the Hapsburgs
has been skilful juggling by the men
CHOSEN to form the Austrian and Hun
garian governments. In international
9ugglery the Austrian government has
oeen a past master, with no equal,
unless it be Abdul Hamid, Sultan of
turkey, who used the same tactics to
MAINTAIN his sway over peoples who
cared as little for his rule as do the
nohemians and Jugo-Slavs of Austria
and Hungary for that of the Haps-
ourgs. The policy was that of prop
agating antagonsms between the
various peoples, pitting one against the
other, segregating those likely to cause
trouble-now aimed at in Bohemia
through an arbitrary division of the
country into twelve party, forcing
removals from one district to another.
OF officially massacring the civilian
population, just as the Austro- Hun
garian government has done since the
war began to the extent of from 10000
70 10000 persons.
For the first time, however, unity Of
pohtical action between all the OPP
pressed peoples has been achieved.
"eaiizing that this war is their OPP
portunity, the oppressed nationalities
are cooperating in their revolutionary
sctrities. Inspired with the ideals Of
usmocracy, they seek to be free. How
aas this close cooperation on an ideal

LESS MEAT IF BACK
 AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Ked-
 neys if Bladder Bothers~You.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a we'll known authority, because the Gric acid in meat excites the kidneys. they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uri- nary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kid Leys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.
