'SLAVS WILL FIGHT
AGAINST THE HUNS

PARIS, March 11-With the arrival
here soon of many Czecho-Slavs from
America and Russia, an important
army, recently constituted by presi-
Dental decree, of these men will take
its place in the field against Germany
and the oppressor of these people
Austria
Already 10000 Slavs living in France
have offered Their services and are
undergoing training at camp in
central France Though placed UNI
der the French high command these
men will fight under their flag
and as an independent body.
Previous to the war there were
more than 100000 Slavs living in
foreign lands America, Italy, Russia
and England They have often and in
may ways during the war shown their
sentiments in favor of France, first
by disorganization they caused in the
Austrian army IN the first year of the
war by DESERVING and enrolling in the
Entente armies.
Really, tie Slav army under forma
ton here is formed of those whom
Austria has called traitors" and to
whom she will show no mercy should
any by chance fall into her hands
Austria will take very few Slav pris-
oners, while there in their turn will
show their former lord and master
that they refuse to be vassals and
want to live the life of liberty.
