Judgment has been pronounced in Vienna sentencing Dr Kramara and other Czech leaders to penal servitude. The trial revealed the extent of the Bohemian-Czech opposition to the war and sympathy with the Russians. The judgment holds that Kramarz and hia friends were responsible for the following acts—the circulation of pro-Russian proclamations, the refusal of the Bohemian Diet to adopt the resolution of Austrian loyalty, disinclination to hand over metals required for the army, frequent Czech surrenders to the Russians, the riots amongst the Caech troops, and other acts undermining discipline.
