General Smuts Resigns
From the War Cabinet

LONDON, Dec. 16.-Lieutenant Cen
eral Jan Christian SHUTS has resigned
as member Of the War Cabinet on the
ground that the end of the war has
terminated the need Of his services,
according to "The Express"
Jan Christian Smuts was born in
1870 and has long been a figure in
the political life of South Africa. He
became 81 practising attorney at Cape
Town in 1896, and during the Boer
War was in command of the republican
forces in Cape Colony. In 1907 he be-
came British Colonial Secretary for the
Transvaal, and in 1916 became com
mander of British forces in East
Africa fighting against the Germans
his success in that campaign being re-
markable.
In January, 1917, the British govern
ment named him a member of the I'M
perial War Conference, as representa-
tive of the Union of South Africa, and
in June, 1917, he entered the War
Cabinet. His service to the British
government since that period has been
distinguished in many ways. Late last
year Colonel f. M. House, one of the
American delegates to the coming
peace conference, referred to General
SHUTS as zone of the greatest states

succor for unhappiness.
"How can we count over the in
Vulnerable benefits of American
charity, SO vigilant, SO methodical
and SO wise? Through this charity
the sufferings of our prisoners have
been alleviated and the spectre of
famine has been turned back from
the invaded regions of Belgium and
France.
"Not many days since we well

centuries Of gratitude, and we bow

Czecho-Slovaks Occupy
German Bohemia Towns

MUNICH, Dec. IA (By The Associ-
ated Press) ):-Czecho- -Slovak troops
have occupied the towns of Tetschen
and Bodenbach, in German Bohemia,
south of the German border; have
raised their flag and cut telephone
and telegraphic communication, accord
ing to reports received here. German
Bohemlans fear that these steps we're
taken to prevent them from voting in
the coming German-Austrian elections.
Speaking at Innsbruck, Premier Kra-
MARI of Bohemia exnla;ned that the
occupation of towns in German Bo-
hemia had been undertaken for three
reasons. The first and chief reason
was that the Czech minority in Ger
man Bohemia was living in fear of
being terrorized and oppressed by the
German majority. The other reasons
were that smuggling had been going on
between German Austria and German
Bohemia and that it had been planned
to occupy the region with Austro- Ger
man troops sent from Vienna. The
Mayor of Tctschen has lodged a pro-
test with the Czecho- -Slovak govern
ment.
