The work was done 1 Mr. R. V. Miskovski, the prelate of the lodge, and is said by all who haye seen it to be the best translation of the ritual ever made. When the supreme chancellor gave his mission for the use of the ritual in Bohemian 1t was with the understanding that the en- tire cost of the translation and printing was to be borne by the lodge, and it was also stip- ulated thut only four copies were to be mude. Tho expense involyed in printing the ritual in bool form was estimated at about £200, and it was therefore decided to have the four copies As there made by the hectograph process, will be over a hundred n the work it will take some time to complete it. Since it was announced in Tug Ber sev- erul weeks ogo that Jan Hus lodge had been given permission to print the yitual in Bohemian, lotters have been received from & lodge in Cleveland and from another in Chicugo, seeking to obtain copies of the trauslation, but this was of course impossi- hle. uging a Bohemian translation for some time, but the work of Mr. Miskovski being so far superior to the Chicago article, the lodge de- sired to obtain it. A number of lodges were in contemplation among the Bohemians in the western part of thestate, provided t obtain the translation, but under th conditions this could not be done, The members of Jan Hus lodge feel slighted at the action of the supreme chancellor and the supreme lodge in this matter. They suy thut at the last session of the supremo lodgo an appropriation of £200 was made for the transiation of the ritual in the German lin- guage and they think they are entitled to equul consideration. \ Uan Hus lodge wus organized about eight- een months ago and started out under the most favorable auspic The members state that the grand chancellor, W, H.
