The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/Bohemia in the American press (2)

BOHEMIA IN THE AMERICAN PRESS.

 

A few months ago, when the Bohemian Review was born, an editorial on Bohemia in an American daily paper was an event; today it is an every day occurrence. Before the war is over, probably every one of the hundred and ten million Americans will know what the Czechs demand and why the United States should support that one of the war aims of the Allies which is stated in their historical peace terms note to be “the liberation of Czecho-Slovaks from foreign domination.”

It will probably be of some interest to our readers to catalogue here such of the editorial articles as came under the notice of the editor of the Review during the month of July. They are as follows:

Brooklyn Eagle: Why the Czechs Desert from Austrian Army.

Flint (Mich.) Journal: Bohemia.

Cedar Rapids (Ia). Times: In Slavic Austria.

Pasadena (Cal.) Star: Bohemia.

Long Beach (Cal). Press: Woes and Hopes of Bohemia.

El Centro (Cal). Press. Bohemia.

Monrovia (Cal.) News: Bohemia and Ireland.

Grand Rapids Press: Oppressed Bohemia.

New Bedford Standard: The Czecho-Slovaks.

Norfolk (Neb.) News. Czechs and Austrians.

Detroit News: Austria’s Dilemma.

Syracuse Standard: The Czech Revolt.

Hays (Kans) Press: The Czechs.

Leavenworth (Kans). Post: Tschekhoslovatski.

Chicago Journal: The Austrian Muddle.

Providence Journal: Czechs Fighting for Russia.

Indianapolis Star: Czechs and Slavs at the Front.

Madison (Wis). Democrat: Czech Revolt Bearing Fruit.

Hutchinson (Kans). News. The Slovaks.

Schenectady Gazette: Applies to the Present.

Seattle Post Intelligencer: Czecho-Slovak Liberty, and Death Troops.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Bohemians in Russia’s Drive.

Boston Herald: The Peace Cry in Austria.

Helena Independent: A Wrong that needs Righting.

Albany Argus: Czechs and Slovaks.

It is impossible to indicate the number of news items of Bohemia of the Czech struggles that appeared in the papers during the last months. There were hundreds of them. But one cannot omit mentioning a feature article by Isaac Don Levine in the New York Tribune, entitled: The Birth of New Nations—Bohemian, and published also in the Milwaukee Journal; further a lengthy article in the Detroit News Tribune by Geo. B. Catlin: Germans Persecute Slavs and Czechs in Dual Empire. Also a long cable in the St. Louis Republic by Norman Hapgood in which he gives credit for his detailed information on conditions in Austria to the “excellent Bohemian organizations in Paris and London.”

This list does not include editorial articles dealing with the Austrian situation and discussing as a part of it the Bohemian problem.
