There will be no discrimination in matters of religion. The Rutheninns are not likely to be placed under the minority status. Two thousand Czech officials and soldiers are held up at Chust and are unable to go to Prague. The Leader of the Ruthenian Free Corps (M. Demetrius Klampus) is reported to have been killed in an ambush.
