CZECHS & GERMANS
PARTIES EXAGGERATING INCIDENTS SOME RISK OF MORE SERIOUS DEVELOPMENTS. BAN ON STORM TROOPERS PROJECT. (Recd This Day, 1.40 p.m.) LONDON, May 15. “The Times” Prague correspondent says frequent minor clashes between Germans and Czechs in the municipal election campaign indicate the possibility of graver incidents. The political parties are tendenciously exaggerating the importance of scuffles in the biggest of which 250 German men, women and children, marched to Lednice, in Moravia, allegedly to attempt to molest Czechs. Police barring the road used stones and rubber truncheons, injuring six. Soldiers were involved in other disorders, including an attack by German boys, five of whom were injured. The police arrested a number of Germans distributing pamphlets inciting the Czechs to hostilities against the Government.
Great demonstrations throughout the country favour Czech independence. The Ministry of the Interior has banned the projected formation of a Storm Troopers’ battalion, on the grounds that the recruiting appeal overstepped the liberties allowed to associations.
