PRAGUE, Sept. 20 (I.N.s.).
Czechoslovakia became a vir-
tual military dictatorship un-
der President Edouard Benes
today after the cabinet Of
Premier Milan Hodza resigned.
A tornado of popular feeling
swept from office the ministers
who accepted the German
dictation, under irresistible
pressure" to hand over pre-
dominantly German areas of
the Sudetenland to the Nazi
Reich.
A new regime was formed in
which the most important places
were taken by generals whose
emergency duty today Is to pre-.
vent the populace from giving
Chancellor Hitler any excuse to
march into this country.
To Keep Order
The public believes the new gov
eminent is intended to fight Ger.
many and retain the Sudetenland.
It's real purpose, however, is to
keep order while the Sudetenland
is being handed over to Germany,
and to defend what is left Of
Czechoslovakia against anticipated
annexation Of the whole country.
Authoritative opinion agreed
that If today passes without q
revolution, none will come.
Hundreds of thousands of men,
women and children thronged
the streets shouting protests
and weeping over dismemberment
Of the nation. An informal gen.
eral strike, not organized but
unanimous, closed factories
throughout the country. Work
ceased on farms.
From the remotest corners
people streamed into the coun-
try's various centers to hear the
tragic news and curse the nations
"betrayers."
