Zone hundred and fifty-six of us

1914" he said. There was no proof
that l was in sympathy with the Ju-
go-Slav propaganda, but the author
tiles suspected what was in my heart.
Sixteen of the men arrested at that
time were condemned to death. The
death penalties were not executed,
because of the remonstrance by the
king Of Spain, but the prison SEN
fences were all made effective.
Il went to prison on July 26, 1914.
My cell was small one-a mere
cage, and 1 was kept at hard labor.
In October of 1918, the people of
Bosnia Herzegovina, as in other Ju-
go Slav provinces of the austrian en-
pire, anticipated the debacle Of the
empire, and organized national
council for the conduct Of affairs. AS
soon as the Austrian army fed this
council came into full executive pow
er and the men wrongly imprisoned
were liberated. / was released from
prison on November 1, 1913, and al
most Immediately was chosen by the
national council as president of the
government of Bosnia Herzegovina"
He said that the people generally were
in sympathy with the central Jugo-
Slav government at Belgrade.
