think, must and can be broken. With
such energetic action in Bohemia we
shall be able to kill two birds with one
stone. We shall bring peace and order
to Bohemia and show the frightened
Magyars watching these sections what
is in store for them if they will not give
in. The Bohemian victory thus means
a battle won with the Magyars.
But one thing, we should not kill with
deadly silence. If we grant the Ian
guage question and the national settle
ment the Vienna parliament will no
longer be able to remain in session
These herewith respectfully proposed
settlements of the language question are
substantially the "Badeni language
laws" Your imperial highness will re-
member what storms the Germans
staged in parliament and what noise
the students made in Vienna. If we
have no parliament. then the social
democrats will again mobilize the
streets But around this dead point we
cannot go without using force. Thanks
to the politics of the last years, every
unsatisfied party revolts in the streets,
and as no emperor can satisfy all par
ties he has to show the street that he is
master and make order with force, even
if blood should flow. AS soon as an ex-
ample has been made the streets will
become quiet. You cannot overJudge
the cowardice of these people.

due to War Department regulations
imposed at the request of Gen Perish

stop a flood of parcels to the over

that no package can be sent except

not be logical to decree a dual Ian
guage system in Eyer and not in
Linz. But if we should neglect the
boundaries of the kingdom of Bohe-
mia and take a basis the proper
tion of the nations inhabiting the
cities we should bring the Bohemian
language confusion into all parts of
the monarchy. Then one would have
to declare the Czech and German lam
guages equal in all the countless
larger and smaller states of the en-
pire. That is impossible. First. the
recognition OF the kingdom of Bohe-
mia will f1atter the Czechs: second.
one can give them non-political con-
cessions which will satisfy their van
ity.

decide that an archduke should al

create a storm of enthusiasm and this
concession could harm no one. With

War Department restrictions, which
the Post Office Department has rec
commended should be modified or re-
moved. are standing in the way of
doughboy with the Army of occupa-
ton in Germany getting a pipe and
the Red Cross getting d contribution
of $1,000 from the boys father.
A millionaire carpet manufacturer
in Philadelphia got a letter from his
son. saying he had broken his pipe
and asking to have his sympathetic
father send him another. The father
bought the pipe and then ran up
against postal regulations forbidding
him from sending it. Then the father
offered $1,000 to the Red Gross if a
way can be found to get the pipe

Naturally this will enrage the Czechs,

balanced by their satisfaction because

crowd witnessed the incident which
was without any rough treatment

as this continued to be the condi-
tion the officers did not interfere.
The demonstration is the out
growth of some trouble at the road
house about a week ago when Mr..
Ham threatened a returned soldier
with shotgun after an alteration
about provGermanism had arisen.
After the completion of the trial in
the county court on Saturday and
the fning Of Ham in the sum of

criticism on the part of the return

light, especially SO since the evil

the result of a general conviction
