CZECH ENTHUSIASM
READY TO FIGHT
"NO LONGER UNSUPPORTED"
LONDON, September 27.
The correspondent of the "News Chronicle" at Teplice-Sanov says:— After several days of agonising waiting and after the surrender of the best industries, mines, and fortifications, this little country finds herself no longer deserted by her allies and is prepared to fight.
"We won't give up like the Austrians /did," they say. "We know what German domination is like. The first King of Bohemia raised his standard not 10 miles from here."
No wireless news of the Cabinet upheavals in London and Paris came through, but only the brief announcement: "We are no longer unsupported."
Veterans of the Twenty-eighth Regiment, which was formed entirely from Czechs and deserted as one man from the Austrian Army to fight against it in the Great War, are volunteering to join its ranks. Men come from all parts, shouting, singing, and carrying one day's food supply, to join troop trains going to the front, while women wave good-bye.
" 'Dei- tag' has come, but not for us," was the comment of Sudeten Germans.
