CZECH SOLDIERS
RESIST CESS|ONS
Will Fight Occupation by
Hungary, Declares
One. Officer.
BY the Associated Press.


KOMAROM, Hungary (on the
Czechoslovak Border), Oct. 15.-A
Czech onicer declared today his soldiers
would resist occupation Of frontier
communities by Hungarian troops un-
der any circumstance.
The captain, who commands q regi-
ment stationed on the Czechoslovak
side Of the Danube near here and who
fought with the Czech legion in Rus
sia during the World War, added that
Il think it will not be long until our
soldiers try to take back territory al
ready taken from them"
Czechoslovakia continued to move
more troops closer to the Danube As
news spread Of Hungary's order to
mobilize five new classes by Monday.
The Czechs kept light artillery and
heavily-armed troops at the entrance Of
a bridge leading over the Danube into
Hungary.
Hungary May Have Million.
A Hungarian general stan officer de-
clared Hungary probably could mob
ilize 100000 men If her territorial
dispute with Czechoslovakia leads to
war.
He emphasized, however, that Hun
gary needed more time to complete
defense preparations and equip the
soldiers.
In about four or five months" he
said, I'VE would be ready for any
eventuality."
Members OF the Hungarian minority
mobilized into the Czechoslovak Army
probably would play 4 big role in
the outcome of any conflict, the officer
said.
About 100000 men Of Hungarian
blood, he asserted, were serving or
were liable to military service in
Czechoslovakia. and might desert to
help Hungary.
The number still in the Czechoslovak
Army after the apparently slow demo-
bilization in ceded northern border
areas was unknown here. During the
September crisis Czechoslovakia mo-
bilized an estimated SOC, 900 men.
Thousands of these soldiers have
moved southwark toward the Hun
garian border and reinforcements
have been sent to Ruthenia, where
clashes and demonstrations favoring
Hungary's territorial claims have
occurred.
Thousands Of Hungarian soldiers
were ready for further advances beyond
Ipolysag and Satoralja, Czechoslovak
towns occupied under an agreement
between Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
At least 10000 Hungarian troops
lately have been sent to reinforce those
already in this Understanding town.
An increasing number of army tents
was pitched on the Czechoslovak side
! Of the Danube River.

Rumania Hits Hungarian Claims.

Rumania Hits Hungarian Claims.
BUCHAREST, Oct. IS R.-The
Rumanian press today unanimously
condemned Hungary's territorial
claims on Czechoslovakia as unjust"
and declared Hungarian mobilization
was endangering the peace of Europe.
The newspaper Universus said the
Rumanian government had protested
to Great Britain, Germany, France
and Italy-the participants in the
Munich accord-against Hungarys
ambitious chauvinism."
Rumania seemed particularly wor-
ried because Of Hungary's demand
for a plebiscite in Ruthenia. which, If
favorable to Hungary, would result in
. common Hungarian-Polish border
and cut Czechoslovskia of from Ru-
mania.
There was concern here over the
possibility that. once Hungary got
Ruthenia, she might demand the right
Of self-determination for the 1,50O, 900
Hungarians in Rumania.

ing us, I think it would be Of inter
est and surely of information to
so percent of my readers to digress
and tell little of just how the piO-
neers lived. AS one of the founders
of the old Scientific and Historical
society / speak with full knOwl-
edge of the aims of the founders.
We had in mind to establish a Ii
brary and museum where would be
collected into museum of this
type. Had we been able to carry
out our plan we could have had a
fine one as at that time people were
not SO crazy over antiques as they
are today and for a small invest
ment we could have secured the
pick of southeastern Ohio, as at that
time Marietta had not started her
museum. 1t was a great loss to fu-
never carried through. And the
onus must be borne by few who
were not interested. At one time
/ had list of articles that would
have been 'Ioaned" to us for ex-
hibition purposes large enough to
fill the largest building in town.
Later we might have interested Mr..
Tom Simpson, but some of the pro-
moters of the library idea were
afraid if we asked too much of him
we would get nothing.
The result is we have nothing
here, and if the present generation
desires to see what their great
grandfathers used they must go
away to find it. However there is
wealth of stuff yet in the county
that could be collected into a mu-
scum if we had some place to store
it securely.

Everything was going along

who had an idea that the only good
Indian was dead one. They were
not content to settle upon the land
and raise their crops, they wanted
to drive the Indians out OF course,
eventually, trouble was sure to
come between the settlers and In

that il. was only a matter of time
The Indians called the Virginians
Long Knives" and hatred had been
engendered over a period of sew

the Long Knives.
The massacre of the Moravians
and other acts of treachery on the
part of the whites while they pro-
fessed friendship for the Indians
at length aroused them.
The Indians never understood
the treaties that were made and
arouse the Indians and prevent the
settlement of the Ohio valley.
The warfare between the Indians
and settlers did not stop with the
end of the Revolution. 1t continued

it is estimated that 1900 had been
killed by the Indians.
