He leaned toward her, and his
honest, Snub-nosed face was very
earnest. Jean put the good-looking
stranger out of her head and
reached across to pat Bobbys
hand.

You're a peach. But can't you see

Individual Gold Mining
Offers Poor Prospects

The rush to the abandoned gold
mines and placer workings of the West
has been one of the tragedies of the
present unemployment situation and
thousands of inexperienced indi-
viduals, lured on by rumored and
exaggerated reports of wealth at
tanned In gold mining, have gone into
the hills seeking gold and finding
only disappointment.
Experienced miners, thrown out of
work in the non-precious metal
mines, have in some instances gone
to work on their own, but these in
dividuals have sought abandoned
mines or have gone into the hills
with pick and shovel to prospect.
These men know what they are
about and have some chance of sue
cess. They work in abandoned mines
with the consent of the owners on a
royalty or share and share basis.
The bureau of mines, wishing TO
remove as much of the false hope of
the prospective miner as possible,
has issued bulletins giving informa-
ton on the subject of placer mining
and pointing out the difficulties TO be
encountered. Ways of making liv-
ing by a combination of skill and
hard work are outlined but the hopes
of an Eldorado are painted in their
true colors.

Wrecks Brought Riches

Wrecking of two German steam
ers off a remote island of the Leo
cadive group in the Indian ocean
brought undreamed of prosperity to
the islanders. According TO a report
from Simba, wages skyrocketed
from 10 cents a day to so cents,
the matched roof Of every house
has been replaced by an iron one,
and old rush lights have been sup
planted by hurricane lamps. A
German cargo steamer ran aground
on a promontory and its cargo was
jettisoned. The 5000 islanders sal
vaged the floating freight, and
many got work at unheard-of
wages. The Germans then bought
water at two cents gallon and rice
at $40 a bag. A second German
vessel, coming to the rescue Of the
first, also ran aground, had to jetti-
son it's cargo and hire more help.
After the ships left the natives sold
the treasure" and are rich.

basis of a mutual agreement
and can be completed or ex-

of both parties. The Czech
National Federation retains

Suddenly, just when COM
plete harmony seemed to
stamp all official manifesto
tions of the Czechs and the
Slovaks, reports of anti-Slo-
yak tendencies of the "Sa-
mostatnost', the publication
of the Paris Czecho-Slovak
National Council, and the
'"CzechoSlovak", published
in Petrograd, reached the
Slovaks the world over. And
toward the end of 1915, the
Slovaks were stunned by : a
statement in the memoran-
dunn presented the English
government by the president
of the Czecho-Slovak Natio-
nal Council in Paris; it read j:
"The Slovaks are Czechs!'
Quite naturally American
and Russian Slovaks with
drew their support of the
joint state and made it clear
that they would safeguard
the rights of the Slovak ma
ton - or forsake the idea
Of a Czecho-Slovak State.
Some Slovak leaders became
so highly indignant that they
withdrew permanently from
the Czechs and counted on
the possibility of annexing
Slovakia to Poland.
The president of the Cze.
cho-Slovak National Coun-
Gil, T. G. Masaryk, realized
his mistake and worked fran

of the Slovaks and reconcile
them with the Czechs: Ma

America by way of Russia in
1917. He reconciled the Slo-
vaks of Russia with the
Czechs August Is, 1917, by
means of the Moscow Agree
ment, which satisfied the de-
mands Of the Slovaks.
/ the meantime, Germany
became the sole hope of the
Magyars; they supported her
by every means within their
power. Conditions in Hun
gary were alarming; food
was very scarce and disease
was rampant. Francis Joseph
died November FL, 1915,
and was succeeded by his
grandnephew Arc h d U k e
Charles Francis Joseph, the
nephew of the murdered
Archduke Francis Ferdinand.
The opposition to the exist
ing conditions in the Slovak
and Czech Territories of the
Dual Monarchy grew enor-
mously. In 1917, the various
nationality groups began to
proclaim their independence
openly. The Emperor at
tempted to conciljate the
groups with promises of con-
stitutional reforms and polit-
ical amnesties. His efforts
were futile. The Magyars, of
course, did their utmost to
justify themselves in the
eyes of their neighbors. Count
Tisza, descendant of the no.
torious Tisza, on January
"a, 1917, speaking before
the Assembly, said among
other things: 81 am conf
dent that I am expressing
the opinion of the whole
House, without distinction of
parties, when l say that
public opinion thruout Hun
gary respects the principle
of nationality, that the pub
lie opinion of the Magyar
race desires the free deve-
lopment and the prosperity
of the nationalities."
And on June 20, 1917, the
national Magyar publication,
the Budapest Hirlap",
stated: "We proclaim in the
face of the whole world tha,
on no part of the earth's
surface are the problems Of
nationality treated with great
er patience, loyalty, anG
humane liberality than il

THE STORY OF THE SLOVAKS
(Continued)
BY P. A. HROBAK.

s..-. (Continued) 4....
The Czecho-Slovak Natio-
nal Council or committee
contacted the Slovaks and
the Czechs scattered thruout
the world, especially those
of the United States. The
Slovaks and Czechs of A.
merica were, in fact, the
"financiers' of the revolu-
ton! One point, however,
must be brought out clear
,ly: Altho the Slovaks joined
hands with the Czechs with
one purpose in mind, the IS
tablishment of a Czecho-
Slovak Republic, they want
ed to be especially sure, that
such a republic would guar
antee the Slovak people of
Slovakia freedom of national
development.The Czechs and
the Slovaks in congress in
Petrograd, Russia, agreed
to as much August %, 1914.
The administration of the
federation of Czech and Slo-
yak organizations in Russia
let it publicly be known that
MAY 20, 1915) "the poAiti-
cal and linguistic autonomy
of the Slovaks would be
guaranteed by the basic
laws of the future State"
And so, the Cleveland A.
greement or program of Oc-
tober 27, 1915, which was
approved of by the President
of the Paris National Czecho
Slovak Committee, proclaim
ed for the Slovak nation a
complete national autonomy
, and freedom of development
in the political, cultural and
economical fields! Later, the
Slovaks made their position
| clear by the Moscow Agree
ment (1917) and the Pitts
burgh Agreement (1918).
American Slovaks did not
/ wait for the Czechs or any
other Slavonic groups to be-
gin the "work of liberation
of their brethren in Slova-
kia; they began already be-
fore 1914. They again pub
lished their pre-war Memo
randum in six different lam
guages; in the Memorandum
'they demanded, as they
did in the old ST. Martin
Memorandum, an autonomy
within the Hungarian State
(The World Revolution -
Masaryk). The memorandum
was sent to the civilized ma
tions of the earth. Later the
Czechs began to organize a
gainst Austria. AS the work
of the Revolution progressed
the idea of a Czecho- -Slovak
State was reborn. On Octo-
Der 27, 1915, the representa-
tives of American Czechs
and Slovaks met in Cleve-
land, Ohio, to consider the
program of the revolution
- the program which had
been drafted by American
Czechs and which had the
