RETREAT OF CZECHO-SLOVAKS
T HE LAST speech by Lloyd George announces the purpose
of the Allies with respect to the Gzecho-Slovak army,
which with such remarkable achievement is moving toward
i Vladisvostok, controlling hundreds of miles of the Siberian
railroad in Asiatic Russia.
The Gzecho-Slovak armies are largely composed of sub
jects of Austro-IIungary, who managed to desert to the Rus
sian cause, and who were left in a desperate situation when
the Russian Revolutionaries made peace with Germany.
- The Czecho-Slovaks had the status of men who were fight
ing against their own, government. They had no rights as
prisoners of war, and falling into the hands of the Austrian au
thorities, would have been executed, or otherwise severely
punished.
Under these circumstances the Czecho-Slovaks decided to
make a fight for life and liberty, and to continue, if possible, to
fight for their cause with the armies in France.
In all of history there is no movement of troops of a like
nature, which appeals with such dramatic force to the mind,
excepting perhaps the retreat of tha Ten Thousand.
These were an army of Greeks, serving in Persia. .Their
officers were treacherously massacred by the Persians, but, led
by the philosopher Xenophon they marched more than a thou
' sand miles, through strange and hostile country, to safety
among their countrymen.
More wonderful is the retreat of the Czecho-Slovaks, who
are a more numerous body, operating among a greater people,
' in a time when the materials of communication, of movement
1 and of offense are so much more formidable.
It is good to know that these brave men are not to be de
serted. England has sent ships, much needed elsewhere, and
! the Czecho-Slovaks will be removed to France, where they will
! do more valiant service for the cause.
TWO REPORTS OF
ROBBERIES MADE
TO THE POLICE
James Yanavick Robbed of
Watch and $71 While.
He Slept.
Jamea Tanavtch, 30, ot 64 Summer
street reported to the police today
that while he slept last night $71 In
cash, a gold watch and chain valued
at $34, a signet ring valued at $6, a
blue serge suit which cost $40 and a
leather suit case along with a bank
book on the Citizens' bank, Water-
bury, with deposits entered, amount
ing to $230, were stolen from his
room.
He stated that while he was sleep
ing a man known as Alban Alloskus,
20, five feet six Inches In height,
weighing 135 pounds, light hair and
bearing a scar between his eyes, was
In his room and has since disappear
ed. Upon receiving the report of the
robbery Captain Edward O. Cronan
issued orders for Allokus to be picked
up and brought to headquarters to
tell what he knows about the matter.
Closely following the report of this
robbery Joseph Bogdaney, of 78
Courtland street reported to the police
that a new brown suit of clothes val
ued at $30 was stolen from a dresser
drawer in his room sometime between
last Sunday night and this morning.
He could give no clue whatsoever as-f
to who might have taken the suit.
Captain Cronan ordered his men to
make a thorough Investigation.
VICTORY A HABIT
HAMP CLARK, speaker of the House, speaking at West
Haven, said that victory is an American habit. Amer
ica never lost a war. One section of Americans defeated an
other section, but union prevailed and America therefore was
victor. The early wars with the Indians were short and sharp.
The French and Indian war was a matter of more difficulty.
The War of Revolution and the war of 1812 were more trying
affairs. The Spanish American war was a mere skirmish. All
of these wars put together seem of little numerical or material
magnitude when measured against the present war.
America has been fortunate as well as victorious in war.
Most of the fighting has been left for the European countries,
where it is a habit, because of the proximity of boundaries, me
confusion of tongues, and the lack of the raw materials of in
dustry within national boundaries. America has avoided war
and gained victories. The country is new and remote. It has
solidarity of speech and institution. But the chief preventive
of war is the American system, which gives each state home
rule, and subordinates each state to national government. States
cannot make tariffs against each other, or control raw materials
against each other, coin money, make war or consummate al
liances with foreign nations.
There must be a confederation of the states of Europe un
1 der similiar principles, if Europe is not to be at war until the
world is ended.

FAMOUS MEN.

Instructive Dally Feature.
MAJ. GEN. BLISS.
Major-Gen. Tasker Howard Bliss,
America's representative on the Al
lied War Council at Versailles, will
soon celebrate his 65th birthday, as
he was born in Lewisburg, Pa., in
1853. Under ordinary circumstances
Gen. Bliss would have been retired
from the army almost two years ago,
but In an emergency such as the
present the country needs all the
brains It can get, and In having Gen.
Bliss on the Allied Council, Uncle
Sam knows that he has a worthV and
able representative. Gen. Bliss is the
son of Rev. Dr. George Ripley Bliss.
After graduating from Bucknell Uni
versity, he entered the West Point
Military Academy, and In 1875 be
came second lieutenant of the First
Artillery. Five years later he be
came first lieutenant, and he remain
ed with the First Artillery until 1892,
when he was appointed "captain com
missary of subsistence." He became
a brigadier-general over 15 years ago.
He has held many important posts in
the service of his country, including
the command of the Department of
the East. He was Chief of the Cuban
Customs Service, commandant of the
Army War College, commander of
the Departments of Luzon and Min
danao and later of the division of the
Philippines. He has also been a mem
ber of the Joint Army and Navy
Board. Shortly before going to
France to represent the United States
Gen. Bliss was a member of the
American Mission to Russia, which
was headed by Ellhu Root.
THE SnTHSOXIAN INSTITUTION.
SMALL POX IN GERMANY
THE LONDON Times, date of Juno 10, prints the following,
by its correspondent at the Hague:
i "A neutral who arrived from Germany today assured me
fhflf. h1firk fimnllnmf Tins hrnken nnt. nt. KrnnnR works in Flssn
He said that four or five fatal cases occur daily. The reason
for the outbreak In the Informant's view is underfeeding and
filth,"
The same newspaper on the same date says, ''There are
only three cases of email pox in London now,''
Owing to the repeal of the compulsory vaeeination law, so
that vaccination is optional in England, vaccination is mueh
neglected in that country, The vaccinal requirements of Ger
many are, on the other hand, very strict, Both countries prac
ticed strict quarantine and sanitation,
Now that the German people are underfed and not as well
oared for vaccination seems to oppose little resistance to smallf
pox. More evidence is thus obtained, proving that the deerease
in smallpox is due, not to vaccination, but the improved eondi
tions of modern life, When these disappear smallpox reap
pears, paying scant heed to vaccination marks.
KING BOOSTING
T ALWAYS interesting Bridgeport Pest seems te have
JL a deep seated affection for kings, and, in a fervent
editorial recommends the king method to America. This, seems
to be the only reasonable motive behind a fervent eulogy pf
King' George. Kings it seems are not such bad fellows. They
do not wear their crowns in public. They are not haughty.
They shake hands like other people. They have the same
number of fingers and toes that others have. King George
shook hands, with some Americans, and the spectacle of such
condespension fills our contemporary with a deep, an almost
holy joy.
KEEPING COOL

The first great scientific institute in
America, the Smithsonian Institution
in Washington, was founded 72 years
ago today. James Lewis Made
Smithson, who bequeathed the funds
for the .founding of the Institution,
was a natural son of the third Duke
of Northumberland. He was a dis
tinguished scientist and on his death
in 1829 left his fortune of about $590,-
000 to his nephew, with the proviso
that if his heir died without issue the
money was to go to the United States
government and to be used in estab
lishing an institution for the Increase
and. . diffusion of knowledge. His
nephew died in 1835, without heirs,
and the property accordingly came
into the possession of the government.
The institution was formally organ-
ed on Aug, 8, 1816, and plaeed un
der the control of a board of trustees,
consisting of the president and vice
president of the pnited States, the
cabinet members, the ghjefj justieo ef
the supreme gourf, and 3fhej effleials,
