AUSTR|A-HUNCARY
NEAR REVOLUTION
BOHEMIANS PLAN REVOLT NJ
ARE BEING SUPPRESSED BY
MAGYAR TROOPS

WASHINGTON Prague Dec
laration of January 9Th, in which the
Czech representative proclaimed the
Czechoslovak nations rupture with
the Hapsburg dynasty and with the
Dual Monarchy, spread through Bo-
hemia like wild-fire and immensely
strengthened the revolutionary spirit
of all classes Of the nation, accord
ing to advise reaching the Czechos-
lovak National Council here. From
up to the present demonstrations are
taking place all over Bohemia. Czech
workers organizations called strikes
to manifest their appreciation of the
nations determination to obtain her
independence. Towards the end of
the month of January great ex-
plosion occurred in the ammunition
factory at Hostivitz. The Prague
City Council on February 4th voted
resolution identifying itself with
the Prague Declaration, and Mayor
Grosh declared that "now acts will
follow" The Magyar daily "Az Est"
intimates that the Mayors declar
alton is treat that the Czechs will
resort to a revolution to back up
their national claims. This state of
affairs in Bohemia, led to the send
ing of Magyar troops to occupy
Bohemia, and suppress all |
revolutionary movements there. The
Magyars have been chosen because
of all the races of Austria they
hate the Czechs most. They make
the Czechs responsible for many Aus
trian defeats on the battlefield, and
they cannot forgive the
Czechs that, during the late often
sive against Italy, Czech soldiers
went over to the Italians and dis
closed to Italy the plans Of the Aus
tro-H Hungarian offensive

ing into blossom, with prospects for
a good crop; apple buds are showing
color. Dormant spraying is almost
completed.
In the Lewiston valley early plant
ed potatoes are up in excellent shape;
but potatoes have not yet been plant
ed generally over the state. The
acreage this year will be smaller
than that planted last year. A few
small garden tracts have been plant
ed here and there but most garden
ers are awaiting more favorable
weather. Drilling of beet seed is now
well under way in the sugar beet
districts.

MISSOULA-Demand for forage
in the national forests will be greatly
in excess of that of former years, ac-
cording to forestry officials at head
quarters of District No. 1 here, who
base their prediction on the applica-
tions for grazing permits already re-
ceived.
Last year total receipts from this
source were $148,948, and the ex-
penses were $33,326. Forests in
western Montana and Northern Ida

We urge everyone to attest to their
interest in this common cause by
floating old clothes signals on all
clothes lines and we earnestly solicit
the advice and help of those women
who have, in more sane and whole
some times, raised families and
"made over" garments.
Aside from the benefit to the
cause, we feel this plan to be step
toward more sanitary storerooms and
easements and a practical demonstra-
ton of a much needed campaign of
utility and thrift.
