icnal foodstuffs were in Tricst await
ing transportation to the Czecho-Slo
x aks.
An appeal by Dr. Alice G. Masaryk
daughter of President Masryk, anj
head of the Czecho-Slovak Ked Cross,
written on February 20, pictures the
conditions in her country as a terrible
one. American, British and French au
thorities are endeavoring to respond
It is stated that, unless help arriv
ed quickly, a million children under
>ix years old were doomed to die; that
2,000.000 children up to 14 years xvere
weak from underfeeding and that the
mortality among the old and fecb'e
xvas appalling.
Seperated from the Allied territor
ies on three sides by Germany and
Austria, the Czecho-Slovak repub!:c
was, even before it's birth, ruthlessly
and systematically denuded by the
Austrians of all foodstuffs and su i
plies. When hostilities xvere suspended,
there xvas in Czecho-Slovakia no corn,
meat, clothing or medicines. The scan
ty weekly ration of a pound of flout*
to each person in Prague, the capital,
ceased on February 20. Txvo-thirds of
the cattle and pigs of the country ai
readx have been slaughtered and tho
lack of fat is extreme. The supply • f
milk xvas only one-thirtieth of normal.
.More than SO percent of the babies >f
Prague xvere rachitic, anaemic or con
sumptive. More than half the patients
in the children's hospital died of cot.
sumption.
In the mining districts the positi >n
as reported here, is still worse. At
Kladno, 116 of the 165 babies born in
191S died of consumption. Birth*
throughout the country have decreas
ed one-half and deaths have increased
.‘>0 percent.
Almshouses, maternity hospitals
and other charitable institutions can
no longer feed their inmates. Nineteen
percent of the infants under one year
in Pilsen, the formerly flourishing city
of breweries ami arsenal workers died
!u-t year from lack of nutrition. Pric
es of household commodities have ri>
en 700 to X00 percent while wage
have increased 200 to 200 percent,
nothing costs ten times more than
formerly and sewing cotton is 109
times dearer than bofore the war.
These reports show that Professo’
Thomas G. Masaryk, the first presi
dent of the new Czecho-Slovak repub
lic. who went from New York last
winter to assume his duties, faces a
herculean task. Writing to Lady Mur
iel Paget on February 19, the presi
dent’s daughter told her, “father said
he hoped you would come. Do corn*'
and help us.” Lady Paget has obtained
from the French Government, 10
trucks which the American Red Cros^
has filled with medical supplies for
the Czecho-Slovaks, and plans to tak*
to Bohemia 20 tons of rice. Recent in
formation , however, states that
freight traffic to Bohemia is disoi ♦
ganized and the fear is expressed thaw
the Austrian threat, “If we are to lose
Bohemia, we shall lose her as a
corpse,” may become a terrible realit>.
Professor Masaryk was in the Unit
ed States in October last when he was
elected president of the new repub!v
of Czecho-Slovakia. On receiving the
notice of his election he went to Pra
gue and was inaugurated president
late in December. In the latter part of
March it was reported that he had re
signed. but this was officially denied
by the Czecho-Slovak Mission in
Washington.

When the United States entered the |
war the only hospital beds available j
| for American soldiers were in two or j
three American Red Cross hospitals j j
which were then being used tor Brit-1
ish troops. So rapidly were provisions
: made by the Red Cross that by the 1
time* American troops began to pour J
I into France and England the supp’y j
1 of American hospital beds was ample. I
It was only during the influenza ep.-1
domic last fail that the demand cx-j
reeded the supply. In October anti
November many eases had to bo sent
to British hospitals, where at one time
the number of Americans eared for
reached 5,584.
The United States army personn»!
engaged in American hospitals in
Great Britain numbered about 11,200. j
that of the American Red Cross was
about 400.
