This morning bright and early
the boys invaded the cafeteria at
the Young Mems Christian associa-

AUSTRIA'S NOTICE TO
WORLD SHE INTENDS
TO MURDER SLOVAKS

Vienna, Aug. l9.-Austria's Off
cial statement saying that govern
ment intended to treat Czecho-Slo-
avk troops as traitors, since England
recognized the Cvecho-S -Slovaks as a
nation, follows:
"The form and contents of this
latest declaration of the British gov
ernment must be emphatically re-
pudiated. The Czecho-Slovaks ma
tiofial committee is a committee OF
private persons and have no author
ization from the Czecho-S Slovak ma
ton which exists only in the imagi-
nation OF the entente.
Equally absurd is it to represent
this committee as n future govern
ment, which as yet, does not exist.
an reference to the Czecho-Slo-
wax army it may constitute part
of the entente army. but it certainly
cannot be an ally of the entente in
the sense OF international. Ii is
known to us that only a slight frac-
ton of the self-styled Czecho-Slo-
wax army are Austrian or even Bull
garian citizens of Slovak tongue.
These disloyal elements, guilty
of perjury. will. notwithstanding the
entente recognition, be regarded and
treated as traitors. 1t cannot be
permitted that the peoples who have
always fulfilled their duties as Aus.
trian and Hungarian citizens, and
whose sons as members of the Aus.
tro-Hungarian army fought bravel,
against the entente, shall be sub
jected to the suspicion cast upor
them by such methods as employed
by the British official declaration

reserves its steps in this regard
