BOHEMIA AND MORAVIA
RUTHLESS GERMAN COLONISATION RIOT INCIDENT (Independent Cable Service.) LONDON, July 30. The Prague correspondent of the "Sunday Express" says that only a spark is required to set off a revolution in Bohemia and Moravia. Foreign observers are becoming increasingly unwelcome, as Germany desires to continue her colonisation completely and ruthlessly under the present conditions. Under the latest decree all foreign property must be registered before July 31 and then offered for sale at a price fixed by the purchasing authorities. The police have failed to catch a peasant who turned their own machine-gun on 27 Germans after a German officer shot dead a Czech peasant. Another message received from Prague today states that two Germans and five Czechs were killed in rioting at Flany, from which town 50,000 Czech peasants have been taken from their homes to build roads along the Polish-Hungarian frontier. Sixty Czechs have been arrested in Prague and accused of belonging to a Czech liberation organisation. They have been sent to a concentration camp in Germany.
