Pnadue, Dec. 30.—A flood of printed
circulars urging Nationalists to rise
and join the Fascista organization has
brought the intense feeling between
Czechs on one hand and the German
Nationals and Communists, on the
other to a fever heat. Although the
predicted break falled to cogie during
the hollday week, bitterness has been
aroused to such a stage that even the
Parliament is the setting for stormy
scenes.
Communists recently hurled a heavy
bundle of printed matter at Dr. Rasin,
#nance Minister, during a discussion
on an unimportant domestic affair,
missing him but hitting Minister of
Justice Dolansky.
Added to the Communist disturbances
in Parliament arethe frequent outbreaks
of German sympathizers. Deputy Bae¬

age, recently defied the Czech Govern¬

commit treason at any time to achleve
the nims of his party. Capt. Jan Wirm
Capt. Gustav Wolf and Lieut. George
Novakowski, all sald to be of Germar
leanings, have been convicted in a mili¬
targ court of selling army information

for a new outbreak of nationalist ac¬
tivities.
Circulars recently scattered read:

sons feil on battlefields and places of
execution is being attacked on every
hand by enemles within and without the
country. The audacity of these enemles
has reached a elimax. We shall meet
them with their own weapons, and there¬
fore urge all good Czecho-Slovaklans
o form organizations to preserve the
State.
Socialist papers denounced the circu¬
lur as the work of persons who seek to
bring about violence, as was done In Po¬
land
In tho meantime there are indica¬
tons everywhere of the growing enmit)
between Nationalists and ofher factions.

by P’an-German students who threw
ill smelling bombs unon the stage where
the Nationalistic piece was being per¬

The authorities of Reichenberg and
