The re-birth of Czech and Slav in- dependence forms one of the iking romances of the war. For centyries Bohemia stood in the fore- front of European culture, giving to the world the Ch ian martyrs and educators Huss the poet Kollar, the linguist and teach- er Clomenius, and in the field of art, | Brozik, the painter, Dvorak with and the musician many others whose deeds have found plac in history. Hardly less advanced wa zation of her sister inspiration, the tained, despite Austrian oppression, a national organization, and were pre- pared even before the start of the conflict now terminated by the armi- stice to strike the blows that have riven them freedom. They opposed the mobilization of the Austrian army, resisted induction of their manhood, despite courtsmar- tial and wholesale executions, and throughout the war obstructed and undermined the Austrian administra- tion. From their ranks, through de- sertion or capture, thousands: of fighting men found their way into the Russian and Ttalian armies, e they turned and fought the power that had conscripted them. By their spirit and efficiency as soldiers they gained recognition by the Allies of Czecho-Slovak units, and before the war ended more than 100,000 Czecho-Slovak troops, under their own commanders, were embattled for the Allied cause in France, Italy, European Russia and Siberia. In Russia the Czecho-Slovaks have 80,000 men under arms, some recruit« ed from the demobilized Russian army, others deserters from the Austrian forces or former Austrian prisoners of Russia released by the Kerensky or Bolshevik governments. The Czecho-Slovalk force in Italy is 20,000 strong, composed wholly or in- dividuals or units from the Austrian army taken prisoner by the Italians. In France the organization numbers 11,000, including 6,000 men from the Czech army in Russia and 5,000 volun- teers from the United States. Czecho-Slovaks are ruling their liberated countrymen from their capi- tal in Prague today because they fostered through generations the flickering flame of freedom which Austria and Hungary attempted to snuff out in 1621. They maintained a succession of Ssecret political .or- anizations, culminating in that which afoot active opposition to Austria in the early d of the war, and, through propaganda conducted among emigrants in Russia, laid the foundation for the independent Czecho-Slovak force which has held for more than a year the Volga front, preventing the Germans and Bolshe- viki from drawing on the food sup- plies of Siberia. Of new nations formed or in pro- cess of formation through the upheav- al of war, the Czecho-Slovak was the first to win Allied recognition, and the only one so far fully recognized by America. Existing only on paper as long as the Hapsburg dynasty remain- ed in power, the republic became an actuality with the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its presi- dent, Professor Thomas G.
