RECOGNITION OF CZECH NATION IS BLOW TO HUNS

Action by U. S. May Have Far-reaching Effect on War Situation. . . . WASHINGTON, Sept., 4. Recognition of the Czecho-Slovak nation Tuesday by the United States government assures the Czechs of northern Austria of a standing in the league of nations, and since it follows similar action by Great Britain, France and Italy, it may have a far-reaching effect on the war situation in Europe. - In any event, it is expected to produce a new alignment of demands upon Germany and Austria-Hungary at the peace table. The first immediate effect of the American government's action, state department officials said, will be in the opening of the way to furnishing much needed war materials and supplies to the Czecho-Slovak armies operating against the Germans and Austrian forces in Siberia and southern Russia. Financial assistance also can be given and, while no request for such aid has yet been made, it is expected and officials said it would be granted. Will Check Hun Efforts. In the official view ,the Czecho-Slo-vaks, if properly financed and aided, will be able to make a more serious and determined offensive against the common enemy. The Czechs in Russia and Siberia are particularly anxious to re-establish an eastern front and are said to lack only equipments and moral support to accomplish their purpose. It is estimated that there are from 150,000 to 200,000 Czechoslovaks operating in Russia and Siberia, and these, with the help of such military aid as is being furnished by the United States and the allies, and the large numbers of Russians which they may attract to their standards are expected successfully to combat German and Austrian aggression in the East. In' extending recognition to the Czecho-Slovaks, the United States went farther than Great Britain and France by recognizing the Czechoslovak National Council as a de facto belligerent government. Prof Thomas G. Massaryk, president of the National Council will continue to represent the Council-Slovaks in a diplomatic way with the American government. Charles Percier, his chief assistant, will act when Prof. Massaryk is absent from Washington. Reasons for Delay. Recognition of the Czecho-Slovak nation by the United States was delayed because President Wilson and his advisers wished to be certain that the National Council with headquarters in Paris, was the real representative of its people. President Wilson has told congress that it was not the purpose of the United States to dismember Austria, but the fact that the Czecho-Slovaks as a nation have existed since before the Christian era and recent developments in Austria are represented as lending weight to a change in the government's attitude. The terms of peace which the entente nations will impose upon Germany and Austria are expected to establish definitely the territorial position of the Czecho-Slovak-nation. This means that the northern tier of states in the dual monarchy, Bohemia, Moravia and a part of Galicia, will be severed from the empire and become the independent home of the Czcho-Slo-vaks. Under this plan the adjoining section of Germany also would be embraced in the newly established nation. Immediate results in Austria also are looked for by officials. The Jugoslavs of southern Austria have for a longtime been ambitious to establish an independent nation for themselves under the leadership of Servia and it is believed that they will seize upon the recognition of the Czecho-Slovaks as an excuse for definite action looking to their freedom.

We Fight For Our Existence German Crown Prince States

AMSTERDAM. Sept 4. The German Idea of victory as defined by the German crown prince, in an Interview published In the Budapest Az Est, is an Intention "to hold our own and not let ourselves be vanquished." , The crown prince is quoted as saying that this was clear to him the moment England entered the war. The crown prince denied that Ije was a "fire eater" and continued: "If Germany" bad wanted war we should not have, chosen this moment No moment could have been more unfavorable for Germany." In reply to the question as to how he thought the end of the war would come, he replied: "Through the enemy perceiving the colossal stake which they are not equal to winning, and that they cannot win as much as they are bound to lose." In discussing the present operations on the western front, the crown princt said: "The enemy attacks and the withdrawal on our front at several placet, is often wrongly interpreted in some circles. Some of our people are too accustomed to a continuous advance and when a battle occurs wherein the enemy makes attacks and we have to ; defend ourselves the situation is not always correctly understood. In judging the situation, both military and political, we must never forget one thing that we are waging a war of defense. The war is one of annihilation only for the enemy, not for us.

We want to annihilate none of our enemies. We mean, however, to hold our own." "Light Will Last Some Time." Reverting to the question of what nation wanted the war, he declared that "It was clear that England would take advantage of the opportunity.' "Belgium after all," was only a pretext," he continued. "England intervened because German competition was unbearable. "We are fighting for our existence. I repeat our aim, therefore, can only be to 'safeguard ourselves." "The enemy assaults doubtless will continue for some time," the crown prince said with reference to the fighting on the western front, "but our enemies must themselves see that they, will not be able to attain their aim. Our troops are fighting splendidly and I attribute to their courage the fact that such colossal superiority in strength does not crush us." Discussing the fighting qualities of Germany's enemies he said: "The French fight brilliantly and are bleeding to death.They do not hestate at any sacrifice. With the English the Individual man is very good and tenacious but the leadership is deficient. Among the Americans I've found that the majority do not know what they are fighting for. I asked an American prisoner what they were fighting for and he answered: 'For Alsace,' and to the question: 'Where is Alsace?' he replied: 'It's a big lake!'"

With women voting for the first Jime in a statewide primary, the organization candidates of both parties were almost universally successful yesterday. The vote generally was light and no analysis was available early today which would show the division of the vote between the sexes, but the granting of political equality resulted in nothing revolutionary.
