Covered Wagon Days.

In the days of the pioneer tricks across
the plains courage was required to face
the 1000 miles stretching bleakly in
front of them. A typical train consisted
of one wagon, 1.-TWO yoke of 4-year-old
steers and one yoke of cows" In front
of them were rivers, mountains, thirst,
hunger, privation and the pestilence
that overlook migrating hordes. Soon
they were in a column of wagons said
to be 500 miles long-all moving toward
the West, their occupants without
proper food, dependent upon unhealth-
full streams for water, enveloped in an
1ntolerable dust. In calm weather the
dust would rise so thick at times that
the lead team of oxen could not be seen
from the wagon. Then, again, the
steady flow of wind would hurl the dust
and sand like fine hail, with force
enough to sting the face and hands.

AMERICAN CLAIMS

Karl PergIer, Former Minis
ter to Washington, Says He
Swore Away U. S. Rights.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, February
27.-Karl Pergler, former Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, lawyer, removed as member OF
the Czechoslovak Parliament Tuesday
because of his American citizenship,
told the Associated Press Wednesday he
had regarded himself CZechoslovakian
citizen by virtue of having served as
that country,S Minister to washington.
IT became naturalized American"
he said while practicing as an attor-
ney at Cedar Rapids. When President
Masaryk appointed me to the post at
Washington, both he and assumed
that I regained CZechoslovakian citl-
zenship by accepting the appointment.
Swears Allegiance.
1T swore allegiance to the Czecho-
slovalkian state, realizing that thereby
I forfeited my American citizenship.
In the interval since then Czecho-
slovakia has adopted a constitution
providing that assumption of citizenship
be accompanied by certain solemn for
malities which were omitted in my case,
but both President MaSaryk and were
persuaded that by accepting Czecho-
slovakian Office I became a citizen re-
gardless of what had been before"
Others in Same Boat.
Mr.. Pergler, who also has repre-
sented his country as its Minister to
TOXIC. said his removal from the Par
lament was on the ground that TOO
many non-citizens are serving in puollc
ONCE" but, he asserted. the Czechoslo-
vakian Minister to France, DR.. Osusky.
also is an American citizen, and the
Minister to Russia was in the same
boat.
He characterized his removal as an act
inspired by his political opponents and
''breach of the rights vouchsafed
CzechoSlovaks in the convention be-
tween Czechoslovakia and the United
States"
Karl Pergler. during the time he was
stationed in Washington, was professor
of jurisprudence and comparative gov
eminent in the Graduate School OF
National University here. He left the
university in the Fall of 1929 to go to
CzechoSlovakia, but returned last Sum-
mer and taught the Summer School,
leaving again last September.
