and it was executed on dozens. among
them women and girls. The editor
who ventured to express hope for
Bohemia's future freedom was SEN
fenced at noon, and at half past six,
as no hangman could be found. he
was slFot. Bankers were Imprisoned
because they wouldn't subscribe to
war loans.
The horrors Of intsrnment camps
are unspeakable. Women. girls and
gray-haired men are led away from
their homes handcuffed and in chains.
Beaten on the way to camp, on their
arrival at Talerhof. near Gray, many
"were tied to stakes and kept night
and day in indescribable sanitary
conditions;" existence was hell. The
% per cent who died were fortunate
ones.
Women Are Stripped.
To combat lice paraffin was used.
Women of gentle birth who refused to
disrobe in public for the application
of oil were stripped by soldiers.
Records and documents have be-
fore me reek with horrifying recitals
of atrocity. Too little attention has
been paid in America to the tale OF
fiendish persecution of this brave,
self-sacrificing race. We know the sim
lister record in Belgium and in north
ern France. AS an editor had only
casual kDowlede of what Austria,
under the whip OF the beast of Ber-
lin, had been doing to the nation,
autocratic government OF which she
seized and exercised through broken
pledges.
The Czechs are not over optimis-
tic as to their chances OF securing
. aF he
ent war. They do not ask what the
chances are. They do not bargain.
They do not ask for any guaran-
tees or promises. They do what they
think Is their duty and follow their
national Categorical imperative"
They have to fight the Germans
whether there is much chance of
success or not. They do II with de-
cision, but at the same time with
sagacity. Wherever they can they
are conducting in Austria a silent
revolution by sabotage in the army
and in factories alike. But they do
not raise an armed revolt in Be-
hernia, though they are fully pre-
pared to do so. They do not waste
forces in hopeless attempts at force
which may be more valuable at a
future time.
Deserve Encouragement.
But where outside of Bohemia they
have the chance OF using force
profitably in the direct military
struggle against Germans and Mag
vars, they do so without hesitation.
To sum up, the Czechs desire to fight
the Germans. Battle is for them a ma
tional necessity in itself, and is I'M
conditional. pFrom all the expert
ence which the allies have hitherto
had of Czechoslovaks, they deserve
all the support and encouragement
which can possibly be given them.
Claim is made by the Czechs that
of all the subject nationalities OF the
monarchy. they
have proved the most devoted allies
of the entente, as is clearly proved
by their unhesitating sacrifices.

come of mere personal controver-
sizes where no issues of principle
are involved. Socalled joint de-
bates between candidates of the
same party have to a great extent
become a thing of the past. Joint
debates between the nominees of
opposing political parties have
very largely been discharged. The
very existence of free Govern
ment throughout the whole world
is seriously y threatened. At such a
time as this the people take no in
terest in the petty personal discus
sions Of the claims of rival candi-
dates for Office. The Sixty.fifth is
a War Congress and the Sixty-sixth
will be no less War Congress.
No one eau foresee when the pres
ent session of the Sixty. fifth will
end and no one of its members
ought to be challenged to abandon
his post of duty in order to have a
joint debate with competitor for
a party nomination.
AS Chairman of the Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce I introduced and was instru-
mental in securing the passage of
the administration bill for the Gov
ernment control and operation of
all the rail and water transporta-
tion systems in the United States.
This bill was one of the most es-
sential and the most stupendous
pieces of legislation that has ever
been enacted into law by any Con-
gress since the establishment of
our republic. AS time passes no
doubt perfecting amendments to
this great war act will become nec-
essary. A number of bills have
already been introduced proposing
amendments to this law. Some
are wise and good and some are

unwise and bad. Director General
McAdoo is in constant consultation
with me regarding these several
bills, and is relying on me to take
care of the Legislative situation in
the House. Even temporary alb
sence from Washington on my
part might prove very detrimental
to Government railway control
legislation.
During the long and sultry days
of last August and September in
stead of seeking the refreshing at
mosphere of seaside resorts |, with
other members of our committee,
were spending our days and nights
in formulating and securing the
passage of the great War Risk In
surance Law, providing for Gov
ernment life insurance for our SOL
diers at the lowest rate of premium
ever known in the history of the
world for SO hazardous risk also
providing for family allowances
and allotments for the dependent
members of the families of soldiers,
and for compensation forthe death
or injury of soldiers. During this
session | have already introduced
seven administration bills and joint
resolutions amending said act so
as to further broaden and liberal
ize the provisions of the law. Two
of these bills have already become
laws and four others have been fa-
vorably reported by my committee
and are now on the calendar of the
House ready for passage and | feel

leave the halls of Congress and let
these bills die on the caleudar Of
the House, simply in order to ac-
cept your challenge for joint de-
bate?
But in addition to the import
ance of my duties as Chairman of
the Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, | am also the
Chairman of the New Water Pow
er Committee, created at the re-
quest of the President, to have con-
sideration of all bills both of the
House and Senate providing the
development Of hydro-electric en-
ergy, to conserve the fast failing
coal and fuel oil supplies Of the
Nation, and to relieve the great
power shortage in the Eastern sea-
board States, so badly needed at
this time in the production of ships
munitions and other war supplies.
After several months Of the most
arduous labor the Water Power
Committee will Immediately begin
fual consideration of the Senate
Bill, commonly referred to as the
Shields Bill, which passed the Sem
ate in December, last. but as it
passed the Senate it provided for
water power development only on
the navigable rivers, 1t will be
amended SOFAS to apply also to wa
ter power development on the pub
lie lands and forest reserves, so as
to harmonize with the recommen-
dation of the President; that all
water power legislation should be
embraced in one act to be admin
istered by commission composed
of the Secretaries of War, Interior
and Agriculture. AS soon as is
practicable the amended Senate
Bill will be reported and passed in
the House. When passed in the
House and sent back to the Sen
ate, it can and will Immediately be
