FAMOUS LEADER
in GEN. FAUCHER
French Soldier a Hero

Maj. Gen. Louis Eugene Faucher,

the most distinguished officers Of
the French service.
HERE IN WORLD WAR
A graduate of the French mill

the World War he served with
distinction at the front, and was

ize it's army several years ago, Gen.
eral Faucher was named head Of
the military mission sent by
France to the Czechs to direct the

Under the direction of General
Faucher, the Czech army has been
developed into one Of the most
powerful of Europe's fighting

ICZECHS' ONE-EYED HERO:
.SYROVY'S FIRST ARMY
SERVICE WITH AUSTRIA
Distinguished Self
With Russians in
World War
Copyright, 1888, by International
News Service.)

Beset by enemies within and
without, their government crum-
bling following its capitulation to
Germany, the people Of Czecho-
slovakia today looked for leader
ship to their greatest military
hero-Gen. Jan Syrovy.
Holding the rank of inspector
general, the one-eyed Syrovy is
commander-in-chief Of the Czech
army.
IN AUSTRIAN ARMY
Born at Treble, Moravia, Janu-
ary "a, 1888, Syrovy was graduated
from the technical high school at
Prague, and upon completing his
military service in the Austrian
army was appointed a lieutenant
in the reserves.
He was working as a construc'
ton engineer for a steel company
at Vitrovice when war broke out
in 1914, and instead of casting his
lot with the AustrianS, he joined
a Czech unit of the Austrian army
He became an officer in 1915 at
the age Of 81, rapidly rising to the
ranks Of colonel and brigadier
general.
He crossed into Siberia with
the Czechoslovakians, and lost
an eye in the battle Of Vborow.
NAIONAL HERO
During the postwar evacuation
of the czech legion from Russia,
Syrovy became its commander
and led the extraordinary march
of the Czechs from the eastern
front across Russia and Siberia
to the Pacific.
Hailed as a national hero by
the new CzechoSlovak republic
upon his return to Prague, he
was appointed commander of the
Prague Garrison in 1921, became
assistant chief of staff in 1924,
chief Of staff in 1927, and in
spector general in 1888. During
a short period in 1925, Syrovy
served as minister of war in the
Czech cabinet.

WILSON ARTICLE
PRECEDENT FOR.

(IN.SO. Capitulation of Eng
land and France to Hitler's de-
mand for annexation Of Sudeten
territory from CZechoSlovakia
would be justified by peace poll
cies advocated by President Wood
row Wilson at the close Of the
World War.
Precedent for approval Of Der
Fuehrer's demand for selfdetermi-
nation of Sudeten Germany might
be found in the original Article III
OF wilson's program presented toI
the Paris peace conference.
A controversial point which was
predominant in the bitter Senate
debate on the Versailles Treaty,
the original Article III urged ma
tions to sacrifice territory and po-
litical rule in the name of peace
should a serious conflict arise.
CRITICS YIELD
Specifically, the article directed
signatories to the peace pact to
accept without reservation the
principle that the peace of the
world is superior in importance
to every question of political juris-
diction or boundary"
Ironically enough, the European
powers saw fit to reject Wilson'S
original article three. but two OF

Senator Norris G.R.) of Nebras-
ka, denounced what he termed
the mixture of races under the
treaty and warned that Czecho-
Siovakia might become a danger
spot. Discussing Great Britain's
protectorate over Egypt, he said:
"The Egyptin people existed
before Great Britain existed.
Egypt is one of the Oldest ma
tions In the world. Its boun-
diaries are we'll defined and well
known. There is no question
about them.
Neither is there any ques-
tion about a mixture of peoples,
such as might exist in CzechoSlo-
vakia and these other nations
that have been formed where
the boundary lines are overrun
both ways by nationalities."
WAR PREDICTED
During heated debate on the
treaty Borah said:
But the treaty does not
mean peace-far, very far. from
it. If we are to Judge the fu-
ture by the past it means war.
Peoples who speak the same
language. kneel at the same
