The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 3/Miscellaneous (2)

Allied military intervention in Russia has been ineffective because it has ben half-hearted and on a parsimonious scale. Practically all that has been accomplished in the way of saving Russia from a Bolshevist regime, acting in Germany’s interest, was accomplished by the Czechoslovaks—ex-prisoners of war who dropped miraculously out of the clouds at the propitious moment. But for them the Allies at this moment would probably be holding only Kola, Archangel, Vladivostok and the Black Sea ports and Russia would be a malignant and powerful enemy, extremely difficult to deal with because of the spread everywhere of the Bolshevist fanaticism.—N. Y. Tribune.

Formerly the city authorities of Vienna claimed that there lived fewer than 100,000 Czechs in their city. Now, when they have to ask for food from the Czechoslovak republic, they figure the number at 417,000.
