The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/Miscellaneous (5)
The Austrian government has worked hard for centuries trying to Germanize the Bohemian people by force and fraud; yet even according to the Austrian census, only a third of the population of Bohemia and Moravia is classed as German. Probably at least half this minority consists of partially Teutonized Czechs who would revert to their normal racial affinities the moment German pressure was removed. Another considerable fraction, is composed of officials, agents, and privileged workmen. The remainder of real Germans and thoroughly Germanized Bohemians are entitled to courtesy, fair play and equal laws, but they have no manner of right to rule.—Chicago Journal.
After confiscating church bells, the Austrian government started in September to requisition organ pipes for use in gun factories.
