THE BEE:- OMAHA. MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1919. MUM!! M STRIKING People of New Republic Sub- . jugated .for.300 Years to Domination of Teutons ! and Magyars. Xfw York, Jan. 19. Sliced out of the heart of, northern 'Austria and Hungary by the sword of war. the Czecho-Slovak republic, youngest recognized member of the allied fam ily of nations, is in reality a merger under democratic government of the anciqnt Bohemian, Moravian, Sil csian, aud Slavic kingdoms, sub jected for almost 300 years to Teu ton and Magyar domination.' ' The re-birth of Czech nd "Slovak independence forms one'of the most striking, romances of the war. For centuries Bohemia-stood in the fore front "of European culture, giving to the world the Christian martyrs and educators, Huss ' and Jerome of J'raguc, the poet, Kollar, the linguist and teacher Comenius, and, in the lield of art, Brozik, the painter, and the musician Fvorak with many oth ers whose deeds have found place in hivstory. Hardly less- advanced was the civilization of her' sister states. With such inspiration the Czecho slovaks retained, despite Austrian oppression, a national oranization, and were prepared even before the Vart of the conflict now terminated liy armistice to strike the blows that have given theni freedom. Undermined Austria. They opposed the mobilization of the Austrian army, resisted induc tion of their manhood, despite court martial and wholesale execution, 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 Italian armies, where they turned and fought the power that had conscripted them; By their spirit and efficiency as soldiers they gained recognization. by the allies of Czecho-Slovak units, and before the war ended more than 100,000 Czecho-Slovak troops under their own commander.s were embat tled 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 Aus trian forces or former Austrian pris oners of Russia released by the Ker ensky and bolshevik governments. The Czecho-Slovak force in Italy is 20.000, strong, composed wholly of individuals or units from the Aus triau army taken prisoner by the Italians.. In France the oranization numbers 11,000 including 6,000 men from the Czech army in Russia and 5,000 volunteers from the United States. Conquered In 1621. Czecho-Slovaks are ruling their liberated countrymen from their cap ital in Prague because they fos tered through generations the flick ering flame of freedom which Aus tria and Hungary attempted to snuff out in 1621. They maintained a suc cession of secret political oraniza tions culminating in that which set afoot active opposition to Austria in the early days 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 proc ess of formation through the up heaval of war, the Czecho-Slovak w as the first, to win allied recogni tion, and the only one solar fully recognized by America. Existing only on paper as long as the Haps burg dynasty remained in power, the republic . became an actuality with the dissolution of the Austro Hungariah empire. Its president, I'rof. Thomas G. Masaryk, formerly of the university of Prague and late ly stationed in Washington, through Dr. Karl Kramarz, the vice-president, for years a political prisoner cha.-ged with treason against Aus tria, and his associates in Prague, is administering the affairs of 13, "00,000 people occupying 48,000 square miles of territory (approxi mately the size of New York state). : Will Establish Schools. Extending from Saxony and Ba varia on the -west to Ungvar and the Carpathian mountains on the east, a distance of 320 miles, Czecho slovakia cuts a swath 120 miles wide into the former Austro-Hunga-riati domain. Its western half, com prising the one time Austrian prov inces of Bohemia, Moravia and Si lesia, follows tha borders of Saxony and Prussia on the north and skirts Bavaria on the south until the Au strian boundary is reached, when it swings 30 miles north of Vienna to the March river. The eastern half, formerly the Hungarian province of Slovakia, follows the Danube from Pressburg to the River Ipola, 20 miles, north of Budapest, where it turns northeast to the Carapathians. From Ungvar, the eastern limit, the line follows the old Gatician border "west to the Prussian line 30 miles west of Cracow. The new state effectually cuts Hungary off from its former province, Galicia, which is now claimed by Poland. The republic boasts the Uniyersity of Prague, long a center of east ern European culture. With inde pendence, -its representatives in this country declare, another university for which large funds already have been subscribed, will be erected at Brunn, and a country-wide public school system wi'l be established.

Peking, Japan's loans to China are estimated by the Tokio corres pondent of one Peking newspaper to have attained a total of about $148,885,000. Loans from Japan contracted' by Chin& in the present year are placed at $66,515,000. The newspaper's correspondent alleges 'that according to his infor mation much of the proceeds of the loans contracted this year has been diverted from the stipulated pur poses for which' they were made, and have been "squeezed" by private persons or wasted in prosecution of the civil war. He elaborates as fol lows: "The loans of $25,000,000 contract ed by the Bank of Communications nominally for the purpose of af fecting reforms in the said bank did nothing to attain that end, but, on the contrary, the value of the bank notes kept dropping steadily. The proceeds of the Telegraph adminis tration loan amounting to $JO,000, 000 were also recklessly squandered. The military loan also amounting to ?:0,000,000 was contracted ostensi bly for the purpose of participat ing the European war by recruiting aud specially training three divisions and eight" brigades of troops. But the proceeds were used for prose cuting the internal jwar" 1'urther loans in process of nego tiation by China are estimated by the correspondent to amount to about 70.000,000. Of this sum about $50,000,000 is intended for the pur pose of . establishing iron: works. "According to the provision of the loan agreement the engineers and mechanics to.be employed in these iron works must be engaged for the THE BEST COUGH MEDICINE "I have found Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be the best medicine for coughs and colds I have ever used,' 'ferites Mrs. Walt.

(Correspontlence of the Associated Press) The Japanese Press appears generally disposed to welcome the project of a league of nations. An occasional writer as sails the idea. , Thus. Rear-Admiral K. Kato, writing in the New Public Opinion, declares that the .formation of a league of nations would be a blow to the expansion of Japan. But taken as a whole the Japanese share the faith of the allied people in the po litical unification of the world. In tellectual sections of the Japanese are giving the questions careful con sideration. Dr. K. Koda, of Kyota university, is not contented with the political rearrangement of the world. . He suggests that such a re arrangement may prove unworkable unless accompanied by an economic one. He asks, in effect, if territo rial ambitions are , to be checked, why not peaceful subjugations? Quezon Says Philippines Want' Political Independence Seattle, Jan. 19. Complete poli ical independence is desired by the Philippine islands, , Manuel L. Quezon, president of the Philippine senate, declared in a statement is sued here today. Quezon, who was the Philippine delegate to congress from 1910 to 1917, arrived here yes terday on a honeymoon tour. "We want- freedom," he said.

The city of Yokohama held a most enthusiastic two-days celebration in honor of the conclusion of the armistice. Green arches of triumph spanned the roads and festoons of rainbow cloth drap ed the buildings. Greetings of vic tory or "banzai" were heard on all sides. Japanese lantern processions were held in the evenings and were reviewed at the American consulate by- George H. Scidmore, consul-general and other members of the con sulate. The Japanese held great recep tion in the Memorial hall and a garden party on the grounds. Gov ernor Ariyoshi and (he consuls of all allied powers received the con gratulations of the gutsts. A procession of decorated' motor cars, largely participated in by the foreign residents, wis held in the day and celebration was closed with a masked ball at the Gaity theater.

About 5 o'clock in the afternoon this girl started on her 1 return, exchanged animals at the neighbor's ' house, went on to her home, did the reg ular chores of the 'night, and report ed on the happenings at the confer ence to the other members of her home.

First Lieut. Warren H. Hamilton, in France with the Three hundred sixteenth field artillery has written his father, Ed O. Hamilton, a de scriutive letter of the beauties of the little country which so bravely withstood all the horrors of war. '"Am still at school taking a course in line of my studies as first lieuten ant. Have at last been able to jour ney away a little on week-ends and since writing last have taken a trip to a good sized city. "I believe I've written since I went to the source of a river which pour ed out of a rock caver. , A tremen dous amount of water poured out of a cavern perhaps 50 feet across and went tumbling down the canyon as those mountain streams of Colora do. At the source a large mill four and a half stories to the eaves had been grinding grain for a thousand years. You see the grain was grown on the table lands above the river valley. ' A beautiful road wound along the steep sides of this canyon, some times through tunnels. Walked down the road to a town on a hill side so steep-that the foundations of one house would be on the level of the roof of the one below it. Elaborate Furnishings. "In this town Wilson Dalton and myself were entertained in .the after noon at a count's villa. The house was quite remarkable on account of its woodwork inside, the stairs were of oak, scrubbed white; on the second floor the living room, dining room, etc., opened into one another no hallways connecting as we us ually build. These people are great for panelled walls. The furniture was of about Louis AVI or Alll time, so of course is much the same as we are used to and you can easily imagine the interiors from formal rooms we know. The gardens were what I little expected on that hill side. Behind the house was a simple court, but the fence and stone gate posts about 15 feet high were quite elaborate. This divided the court from the flower garden and orchard. Just below the garden was a terrace down -about eight steps affording a promenade with view of the .town below and the opposite canyon wall. Trees grow in profusion and one sees grass or vineyards where trees aren't growing, except a few sheer rock precipices. Dates on the houses from 1300 up. Some of the houses of 1500 and 1600 look like the newest in fact, at the source of the river I saw remains of a Roman reservoir, "These towns are about four miles apart at -most and roads are excel lent. Tells of Citadel. "Yesterday we visited a city near by. There they have a citadel built in the fourteenth century on a mountain overlooking the city and forts of medieval times on all the hills around. The entrance we came into the city with was carved through a narrow part of a cliff and was an archway with double iron gates. It was dominated by a tower with loopholes 100 feet above the road. ".The citadel looked impreg nable for the days it was built. An area twice as large as the High school grounds in Omaha was en closed in walls 30 feet high at the crown of the hill and perhaps 700 feet high. On the slope of the hill, about 30 degrees slope being the easiest ascent, was a moat 100 feet to the bottom from the top of the walls. Across the moat were some more works and in all outside the stronghold were four tiers of de fense which were walls with faces to the outside not less than 40 feet and one more moat. "These ruins date back to 200 B. C. A place there underground had a distributing basin for the Roman water works. The early christians were baptised in this basin; about 20 feet further was a subterranean lion's den where christians were thrown. The den was scarcely wide enough for a lion, so evidently the lion had to eat the christian to keep from being crowded. "The city was burned by the Huns in 1366." , , , .

World Andrew Jay Frame, President Waukesha National Bank, Waukesha, Wis. " Five years ago the United States was a debtor nation to the extent probably of $4,000,000,000 to ?6,000,000,000. Today our marvelous value of exports over imports, due in a great measure to the world war, has placed us in the creditor nation column to the probable extent of $10,000,000,000. If we would become the world's bankers,, we must also become the greatest creditor nation in the world. ' To accomplish these ends, it will become necessary, to our mind, that our own merchant marine shall plow the seas directly to the ports of the world; we must carry at freight rates as low as competing nations enjoy, and to do so our navigation laws must be amended; we must throw out our banking facilities Ho the ends of the earth, as the National City bank of New York, and the First Natidnal bank of Bos ton are doing; our drafts must be in dollars and not in s d as heretofore prevailed; we must furnish the kinds of goods demanded by the outside 'world, and we must carry our credits on as favorable, or better, terms than other nations. The only way to become a great creditor nation is to produce and sell all commodities at least as low as world competitors can do, and our exports must exceed imports, or the tide will turn, labor will be thrown out of employment and the soup house will again be in evi dence. Capital cannot survive without labor, nor vice versa. They must go hand in hand. A mighty responsibility rests upon both capital and labor to the end that prosperity be not rudely checked and all suf fer thereby. Inflated prices of both labor and commodities under ab normal war conditions, must return slowly to normal, if history is to be our guide, and therefore to win we must stand united and tolerant, because, divided we fall. The way is now open.- Will' the voice of popular clamor or true statesmanship prevail? : SAY PEACE VILL INCREASE OIL PRODUCTIONS Increased Consumption Will Result from Neutral Mar kets Replenishing Stocks; Can Handle Business. Dallas, Tex. Big oil producers of Ihe southwest predict that peace will bring increased production and increased consumption of fuel oil, lubricating oil, and gasoline.; They declare that to meet speci fications for high grade fuel oil for admiralty purposes it was neces sary to refine much crude oil under wasteful conditions, which will not obtain in the future. Increased consumption, produc ers say, will result from neutral markets replenishing their stocks, from more general use of motor cars in European countries that have been at war, and frorn the use in Great Britain, France, and Italy of thousands of motor lorries, now in the war zone, as auxiliary systems of overworked railways. But this increased demand wi'l be more than offset by -increased nro duction, officers of the large Texas companies declare. Production in the north Texas field is producing 68,000 barrels, the Kansas fields 99,000 barrels, the Oklahoma fields, outside of Cushing, and Hea' on,, 142,000, the Cushing, 44,500 and the Healton, 42,500. The Texas figures show an increase over figu es fc the quarter ending Sjptt.nber 30, which gave the total production as 9,244,314 barrels, valued at $18,091, 249, This was an increase of more than a million barrels over the June YOU HAVE A HISERACLE COLD!

Four pretty villago girls have taught the farmer! of th great wheat belt of western Canada a lesson in thrift They have shown what a vast amount of grain is lost by modern harvesting methods, and how it can be saved by a little ex tra labor. From stubble fields aban doned by thehir owners and await ing the plow, these girls gleaned with rakes enough wheat to sell for $646.50. Gleaning has never been custo mary in Canada. The farmers who, in this bonanza land, sometimes clear enough on one wheat crop to pay for their farms, have been content with the 20 and 30 bushels to the acre obtained by harvesting machinery. Two girls living at Stony Beach asked a farmer for permissison to go over his stubble field with rakes. Certainly, said the farmer, and all they gleaned they could have. The girls set to work next day at sun-up and kept at it until twilight. The farmer was mildly interested as he watched them; they made a pretty picture, recalling Ruth of old glean ing in the fields of Boaz. He was surprised when at the end of four days, he saw a big wheat stack standing in his stubble field. When the giris threshed their gleanings, they sold the wheat for $315. Two other eirls of Bounty heard of the success of the maidens ol Stony Beach and tried a similar ex periment. They gleaned 150 bushels of wheat from 160 acres of aban doned stubble fields and sold the grain for $331.50. AMrSEMENTS.
