JUDGE bUNNELL
 SUSTAINED BY
 DEPAR l MI \ l

According to a letter just received by District Attorney Roth of the Fourth division from John w. Davis, solicitor general of the department of justice at Washington, the proceedings in the appeal from the decision in the case to test the validity of the territorial eight-hour law are to, be dropped, and the decision of Judge Bunnell declaring the law invalid will therefore stand. The solicitor general said:
 "I am wiring you today as follows: In case of the United States versus Northern Commercial Company and George A. Coleman. my telegram April twenty-second directing writ of error is hereby revoked If writ al ready sued out you need take no fur ther steps to perfect it.
 Further reflection has convinced the department that the writ of error could not be successfully prosecuted in this case. You will proceed aC accordingly.

we'll educated And in Bohemia, per haps. more than in any subject state of Europe. the fires of an intense na- tonalism burned undimmed. The set tied Hapsburg policy of division has proved fruitless among them. And Bohemia today is one seething fer ment of rebellion, ripe for the inevi- table explosion
 Throughout Italy it is believed the Bohemian division is the glowing fuse which will fire this explosion. Itore is trained force well dis r. plined. well equipped, we'll offered, under the immediate command of one of the most highly regarded major generals in the Italian army. These men are prepared to die-practically sworn to die-but even more, they are prepared to win under the folds of their own flag. Once they fight their way into Austrian territory they know that the repercussion will sound throughout the Austrian state. Swarms of Bohemian patriots will flock to their standard ready to die with them if necessary.
 And when that happens Austria Hungary will be torn asunder, past the power of the German cement to mend

WHOLE CHINESE PROVINCE
 OVERRUN BY DESPERADOES

PEkIN, May IS (by maiD Chin csc soldiers are spreading terror in a district in Honan seventy miles by twenty. burning villages and other wise destroying prOpertey and commit ting crimes common to a state of anarchy. according to reports to the legation here.
 With the removal of General Wu Pef-fu, who had some influence with the troops. the soldiers obtained the upper hand The military governor of the province. Chang Chin-yao. Is said to have built up a military force by promising recruits the privilege Of footing in lieu of regular pay The Chinese population is fleeing from the district in terror, abandoning their homes to the mercy of the marauders.
 A portion of Honan Is in similar straits. The activities of the robbers have led the military governor of that province to apply to the central gov ernment for troops to suppress the lawless clements. The bandits have made the districts on the borders of Chhli, Honan and Shantung their happy hunting ground, and they never fail to escape punishment from the authorities of one province by cross ing into another whenever they are chased by soldiers.

CzECHO-S[OVAKS FORM DIVISION
 TO D|E FIGHTING

WNSIINGTON, July IT. Russia, in fine emotional moment. pro- duccd a "battalion of dcath'--women soldiers with poison phials in their Bohemia the cnslaved and downtrod- den. the mere historical remnant of a nation, has produced the first "divi- sion of death"
 II has been known for some time that there were about 10000 Czecho- Slovak troops in single group with the Italian army-first in training near Perugia and later at the battle front itself. It is not commonly known. however, that these soldiers will never be used on the defensive eX- ccpt in the last extremity. and are be- ing held by the high Italian command to be flung across No Mans Land when Italy strikes her next great blow
 The reason for this is simple. These men will be hanged if they are cap tured by the Austrians. Four hundred and seventy CzeCho-Slovaks since the war started have been hanged in Trieste alone over 1 per cent of the population for otfenses much more Vcnial in Austrian eyes than that of serving in the ranks of the enemy. An army loses more prisoners when it stands on the defensive When it strikes, its casualties in killed and wounded are higher, but the wounded can be cared for in the rear of the advancing forces. Therefore the CZecho Slovak division will be thrown forward only when the Austrians are reelng backward.

To Fight for a Dream


 reeling backward.
 To Fight for a Dream
 And yet these Bohemians. with the possibility of the Austrian moose always ahead of them. are the hap piest men in Italy. They are in arms to realize q dream--to establish a new republic upon the ancient coast of Bohemia" and in the very heart of the present Austro-EIungarian state.
 Throughout Italy they have excued the greatest enthusiasm. They are in stantly recogniza ble. for though they wear the grey-green Italian uniform they carry on their collars stripes of their national colors-red and white with another touch of red and white in their Alpine caps Unlike the Ital- ians. they are mostly big and blond. and as they pass along through the cheering crowds of the towns and villages near the front with flowers behind their ears or stick in their coats they seem to be always laugh ing or singing
 They have been assembled from all quarters. Many of them are deserters from the Austrian armies. Others were taken prisoners-most willingly in the successful Italian drives. The Italians repeatedly found Czecho- Slovak machine gunners in the noun tains attached to their weapons by stout chains forged upon ankle brace lets. Victims of such a practice, of course, furnished ready material for the Bohemian division Others came from Russia, seeping through one out-I of-the,way channel or another into 1taly. Still others volunteered for this foreign service in the United States.
 This spring and summer. as the Bo hemian movement for independence has grown within Austria itself re cruiting for the Bohemian armies has received d tremendous impetus. In addition 10 the division already on the front in Italy. another complete dtvI- sion is being organized in France From EosSta %o.Ouu more CIccno. SIo..ha are now on theH way to Italy over sac though little known route. The CZccho-Sloyaks in Russia, tens of thousands of them dcserters from the Austrian armies in the early year, of the war, and wholly unimpressed hy the Bolshcyik antinational doc. trinos. are especially restless It is believed that eventually large pro portion of these will find their way to the Italian battle front.
 But from the Austrian lines few the Austrian army at present are held in the interior as far as possible. When they are required on the fight ing front they are sandwiched in be- tween Magyars, their bitterest enc mics, and Communications, and watched like conviCts.
 Bohemia in Ferment
 Tho Bohemian division consists of Czechs. Moravians, and Silesans, mingled without discrimination. Most of them are peasants and work men the latter highly skilled artisans, as Bohemia is the very industrial heart of Austria-Hungary. Practically no propaganda on the part of the ltal' ians was necessary to enlist them. as they are intelligent and reasonably
