happened that in thhat city 1t Is either
pro-one thing or the other.
Of the mixture of races and the pc
culiar arrangement of the city and
it's interests, there was generally evil
dent a three-cornered feud. The Hun
garians, who were outnumbered by
the Italians and the Croatians, were
hated by both of the latter. The
Croatians. on the other hand. are
likewise hated by the Italians and
the Hungarians, and so are the
Italians hated by the Croatians and
the Hungarians. There was usually
strife and it's attendant consequences,
and suspicion and gossip ran apace.
Croatia furnished Austria Hungary
with many soldier during the war.
It also contributed it's financial share.
Conscriptions for the military took
the available youth and middle-aged
men from this state and placed them
in the ranks.
Many of these Croatians fighting
under the banner Of the Austrian en-
peror were Americans. They were
Croats who had lived in America long
who prospered sufficiently to return
to their former home, to live In peace
and quiet for the remainder of their
lives. Because of this American citi-
zenship many of these men were sue
cessful in getting out of the Austrian
army. Some. however, did not realize
that they had valid claims to Amert-
can citizenship and American rights,
and others never received chance
to assert their rights Of citizenship.
