Revival of Plans
For Exchange Of
Business Delegations

London, Oct. II (By MaiD-Ar-
rival OF numerous American dele
cations in London recently, under
the guidance of the British Ministry
OF information, has revived among
American business men in London
plans for exchange of business dele
gationS-The bodies now arrived rep
resent labor, the press, congress, the
government, social workers, etc., but
not business.
1t is stated that last spring the
American chamber of commerce in
London presented plan to WASH
ington for business delegations that
it was urged would tend toward the
removal of many MISUNDERSTANDING
and toward friendly cooperation,
but the plan was not favored by the
American government at that time.

on it was again suppressed, this time
without appeal,
The Austrian program OF oppreS-
sion has naturally been the subject
OF repeated protests by the CZECH
deputies and political leaders, The
Bohemia and Moravian diets were
dissolved early in the war. Even
the Austrian Parliament was not
called to assemble up to May, 1917
In May, 1917, after the Russian rev
olution, it was summoned again, and
the Austrians tried to make it APP
pear that it had become 4 more dem
ocratic body. At its very first ses-
sion, the Czech deputies asked for
an Independent Czechoslovak state.
Since then, they have made the same
request a number of times, Last
January, at the time of the treaty
of Brest-Litovsk, they protested in
dignantly against not being repre-
sented at the conference in the Rus
sian city.
Determined to go on record
against Austria's behavior, the dep.
uties met secretly in Prague and
drew up a declaration OF protest,
On SUNDAY January 3, they sudden
ly called meeting in the biggest
hall in Prague. and publicly read
this declaration. BY the time the
police arrived on the scene to put 4
stop to the meeting, it was all over
and the document had been read.
Oath of Allegiance Sworn To
The retiring speech OF Prime Min
iStcr Czernin, who was forced To
resign his post because OF his con
troversy with the Czechoslovaks,
was the occasion for another out
burst. Czernin came ont flat i'll
this speech, denouncing the Czech
leaders, especially Professor Mas
s4ryk, and accordingly the patriots
in Prague called a large maSsmeet-
ing at which Jirasek. one OF Bo.
hemia'S principal writer's, read an
oath OF allegiance to the Czecho-
slovak state. This oath was repeat
ed and sworn to by the entire au-
dience. 1t was afterward read and
sworn to in every part OF the PROV
incc, even in the partly German dis
tricts. At the same time a petition
was circulated and signed by 10000
women. who demanded Czechoslo-
yak independence and insisted upon
its recognition by Austria Hungary
The departure OF the Czech dep
uties from the Austrian Parliament
and the proclamation of indepcnd-
encc by the CzechoSlovak National
Council marked a climax in the
struggle Of the Czechoslovaks to-
ward liberty. 4 last hope remains to
be realized the establishment of a
self-governing Czechoslovak repub-
lie, Everything today points to the
speedy fulfilment of this hope.

Army Canteens Used
AS Baptismal Founts

Paris, Oct. II, (By MaiD-Some
OF the American army chaplains
have been compelled TO use army
canteens as baptismal founts. So far
as known this method is an inven-
ton of William {. Levere OF Chica-
go, Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation Secretary, and for several
years national president OF the Sig
ma Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Mr..
Levere established q distributing
station near the front which has
nothing more than 4 roof without
walls. The place formerly was 4
beer garden.
One day, when troops were NOV
ing up toward the front. an army
chaplain wandered in and offered
to baptize any OF the boys who had
not been baptized and wanted TO be.
Some OF them took him up and then
the chaplain discovered that he had
no altar and no baptismal fount.
"I'll fix that" said Levere. and he
did. He stacked three rifles with
bayonetS fixed and in the center
hung an army canteen for the bap-
tiSmal water. Twenty men were bap-
tizcd.
