Siovak regiments on duty here have

In city as old and conservative and

Some Hungarians do not hesitate to

ployment Of Czechs In government po-

feeling is due to Hungarian and Ger

Hard to Upset Tradition.
1t is hard to upset rudely The tradi..
tons of ten centuries, and talks with
many persons, both in official and I'M
official circles, would indicate that the
antagonism displayed toward the
Czechs is natural condition of this
period of transition and is not deeply
rooted. Probably 1t is stronger here
in Pressburg than in the other parts
of Slovakia, where the change is not
so apparent.
The school question plays very
