Bohemians and Moravians Ready to Revolt
(.Independent Ca ble Service)
• LONDON, July 30. QNLY A SPARK IS NEEDED TO SET OFF A REVOLUTION IN EOHEM IA AND MORAVIA, SAYS THE PRAGUE CORRESPONDENT OF THE “SUNDAY EXPRESS.” Foreign observers are becoming in creasingly unwelcome, for Germany desires to continue her “colonisation” completely and ruthlessly under present conditions. Under the latest decree, all foreign property must be registered before July 31, and then offered for sale at a price fixed by the purchasing authorities. The police failed to catch a peasant who turned his own machine-gun on 27 Germans, after a German officer had shot dead a Czech peasant. An Australian Associated Press message from Prague says two Germans and five Czechs were killed in rioting at Flany. whence 50,000 Czech peasants have been taken from their homes to build roads along the Polish and Hungarian frontiers. Sixty Czechs, who were arrested in Prague, accused of belonging to a Czech liberation organisation, have been sent to a concentration camp in Germany.
