Bohemian Avenges
Sisters Death bv
Exposing Hun Spies
Mrs. Milada Jaruskova Shot
by Austrians, Brother
Aids u. S. Agents

Slavomir Kratochvil, of 211 East Six
ty-nlnth Street, on learning yesterday
that his sister, Milada Jaruskova, had
been sentenced to death as spy by
an Austrian military tribunal, an
nounced that he would appear before
the Federal authorities to-day and pre-
fer charges against an editor of for
elgn-language newspaper and another
man long suspected Of pro Germanism.
These two, Kratochvil says, are spies
in the employ of Germany and are di-
rectly responsible for the sentence
passed on his sister.
II am going to make this charge at
the court" he said, where, in addition
to the charges already in progress
against these two men, this affair will
be prosecuted. I shall insist that they
be tried as spies in time of war and
sentenced to death like my sister, Mi
lada."
Concerning his sister, Kratochvil
continued:
"My sister, Mrs. Milada Jaruskova,
thlrty-two years old. came to this
country six years ago and Joined the
National Bohemian Alliance, whose
headquarters are at SIG East Seventy
second Street.
"She had been working as an in
structor of languages, and in Deccm-
Der, 1916, she was employed by Coun-
tess De Seckendorff, of Germany, who,
| believe, was residing in this city, as
an instructor to her children.
while employed by the countess my
sister met Count Won Bernstorff and
several other members of the German
clique. My sister told me Of overh hear-
ing Won Bernstorff discussing Ger
many's intentions of carrying on
ruthless submarine warfare, so as to
affect American shipments, and of how
he said that it would prove to be a
great success.
"Along in December of 1915 DR.. E.
V. Voska, secretary of the alliance,
asked me to select some one to 60 to
Austria as an agent of the National
Bohemian Alliance, so as to get the
peoples sentiments. | selected nv sis
ter, who was then working for the Ger
man countess.
Through Dr.. Voska she got pass
ports in January, and on February Ia.
1917, she sailed on the same ship with
Won Bernstorff. She was then en-
ployed as an agent for the British
government. She sent her first report
when the ship reached Halifax and
stated that Won Bernstorff and his aids
were becoming pessimistic over the war
situation. Won Bernstorff said that he
would have peace negotiations made
WITH Germany and America through
Denmark.
THAT was the only report we. re-
celved from my sister, and nothing
more was. heard from her until we
learned that she was sentenced to
death in Austria. Her sentence was
brought about by the two men l will
accuse who revealed to the German
government that she was a Rritish
agent.
Il have an appointment with the To-
cal Federal authorities for tomorrow
morning. when I will submit to them
all the evidence l have, and I shall
insist that they be tried as spies"

Y. S. to Merge
Draft, Guard
And Regulars
Secretary Baker Announces
All Armies Will Be
Consolidated Soon
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune,


WASHINGTON, July 29.-National
Guard, National Army and regular
army units of the United States soon
Will be merged into one great army.
Secretary of War Baker said to-day
that the plan adopted by the War De-
partment probably will be announced
by General March, chief of staff. be-
fore the week is out.
For months officers from the Ma
tional Guard units have been shifted
to the regular and National Army
Likewise officers from the reserve and
National armies have been put into
the National Guard. From National
Guard divisions thousands of men
have been ordered to other divisions.
In few instances of this kind have
complete units been taken. Seldom
have National Guard officers been de-
tailed with groups of enlisted Guards
men ordered from their home units to
strange regiments and divisions.
Regular army officers for years have
been opposed to the National Guard as
an organization. They have fought it.
In peace times, however, the National
Guard represented in every state,
proved too strong when the issue came
before Congress. 1t not only survived
but became stronger.
1t is the hope of regular army Of
hcers that universal military training
will supply the military need for the
National Guard after the war.

Hearst Removed as
Menace, Says Osborn
OF Governor Race

William Church Osborn, candidate in
the Democratic primaries for the nom
inaton for Governor, said yesterday
that he was informed by entirely trust
worthy persons that William r. Hearst
was preparing to quit the race for Gov
ernor.
81 am credibly informed that the cir
culating of his nominating petitions has
been stopped" said Mr.. Osborn. "Mr.
Hearst has been removed as a menace" "
The Hearst people had intended to
obtain $4,000 signatures, but they have
stopped at about 5000, it was said yes
terday. Only 5000 are necessary to
place Mr.. Hearst in the primaries.
With the return to town yesterday of
Alfred E. Smith, who attended the
Mitchell memorial meeting in the City
Hall, Mr. Smiths licutenants said that
Hearst would be out of the race by the
end of the week.
This will leave the race between Mr..
Osborn and Mr.. Smith, with the chances
in favor of Smith, as he will have the
support of the regular organization
from one end of the state to the other.
I'm going to try to get in short
vacation, if possible, for I've got my
work cut out for me in the campaign
next fall" Mr.. Smith said Yesterday.

said Mr.. Tanner yesterday, in discus
sing the issues. Congressman Fran
els, at the time war was declared by
the United States against Germany,
might do it again"
Congressman Francis, in his speech

against war. Then he voted with the
majority, for war. Mr.. Francis has
