"Oh, how silly, jerry" The way
she said it sounded more like the
old Mimi than any words she had
uttered since that awful night.
"You couldn't stand it to be alone.
And anyhow I'm not going"
She spoke with an air of OBJ
stinacy. And she stuck to her de-
cision. I felt, however, that she
was held by pride, rather than by
love or loyalty. She would not re-
turn to her own people with the
effect of failure.

amazing, when one considered the

For the thing which stung, most
was the knowledge that Mimi held
me lightly as a dreamer of dreams.
I was a lad who had loved, and had
not known how to hold what I had
won! I was poet, not much to be

Timothy would cook, there was de-

it all as set my face, that night,

The congress adopted a reSolu-

Immediate removal of all Amer

PRAGUE, May 81 G.N.S) ALL
Czechoslovakians. male and fe.
male between the ages Of 6 and
SO, today faced the prospect of be-
ing trained for national defense.
Premier Milan Hodza's govern
ment issued a sweeping decree
that virtually the entire civilian
population of the war-threatened
nation must take part in air de-
tense drills and other forms of
training.
SCHOOL DRILLS
The anti-air raid training was
decreed for school children and
men and women ranging in age
from - to so.
Younger men and women will
be given theoretical military and
nursing training and drill in trans
port work. Older women will have
to drill for farm work to provide
food.
ARMY IN CONTROL
The entire defense preparedness
system will be controlled by
committee of Czech army officers.
Czechoslovakia's foreign office,
meanwhile, officially notified the
German office that Czech aviators
responsible for flights over Nazi
territory have been severely
punished"
To avoid further frontier viola.
tions, Czech airmen were instructed
to keep six miles within the
border.

brought Europe closer TO war Cnar
at any moment in the last Il
dangerous years.
"It is true" he said, that we
had information Of a certain
movement of German troops,
but since the German govern
ment assured us that any talk
of hostile intentions toward us
was absurd, we had no need to
mobilize.
PEACE AT HOME
Therefore our military meas
ureS were restricted to securing
peaceful, conditions in those
parts Of the country where
political feeling had been artl-
ficially inflamed for the munich
pal elections.
Had our authorities created
the impression that they were
not strong enough to deal with
local incidents, there was al
ways the possibility that the
Sudeten youth might cause
trouble which the German
army might feel called upon to
march in and suppress.
1.-THE possibility of such In
reference from outside had to
be taken into account, especially
as we were repeatedly told OF.
ficially that such interference
was contemplated if troubles
within our borders occurred.
PRETEXT ELIMINATED
Presence of the Czechoslovak
army on the frontier was a
guarantee for peaceful condi-
tons inside our border and elimi'
mated at the same time all posi-
bility of a pretext for interior
ence from outside"
Thus, in a few diplomatic words
Krofta outlined what everybody
knew had been the German plal
for first a putSch and then an in
vasion. which was checked only by
the lightning mobilization of tn
Czech army.
Asked if he did not feel threat
ened any longer. Krofta could nov
say no" The Czech mobilization
of course, made a German walk
over impossible.
DISCUSSES FARLEY
Referring to the negotiations
between Henlein, the Sudeter
party leader, and Premier Milar
Hodza, of CZechoslovakia, regard
ing the new status of the Sudeter
Germans, Krofta declared:
1--WE will give them all the
local Self-government that demo
cratic communities anywhere in
the world enjoy, with complete
proportional representation in
all positions in the national gov
eminent.
But they must not expect to
be allowed to set aside democ-
racy in their territories, which
are part of Czechoslovakia and
subject to its constitution.
Nor can they expect as a
minority to govern our foreign
policy, which is the result Of the
will of a majority Of the
electorate"
