b0HEMIANS JOIN ITALY IN FIGHT

London, May 1.-The Daily Mails correspondent at Italian headquarters says that the Bohemian troops are joining the Italian troops against Austria, and that the first detach- ments are already on the Italian fight ing line wearing Italian uniforms.
 This information has passed thru the hands of both Italian and British censors and would therefore appear to be authentic. The defection of the Bohemians would in measure ex- plain the delay in the proposed great offensive, long heralded, of the Aus. trians against the Italians.
 Prague, capital of the crown land of Bohemia, has recently been the center of riotous demonstrations against Germany and the Germans.
