ESCAPE TO POLAND
FORMER CZECH PRESIDENT’S BROTHER EXCITING DASH ACROSS FRONTIER. PEOPLE UNITED IN ADVERSITY. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.5 p.m.) LONDON, June 13. The Warsaw correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” reports that Senator Von Vojta Benes, brother of the former Czech President, returned to Cracow after spending twenty-four hours in Warsaw. He said he had been obliged to leave his two children in Bohemia, whence he and his wife made an exciting dash across the frontier. They expected to go to England soon and thence to America. He preferred not to discuss the situation in the Protectorate, beyond saying that the Czechs were united in adversity. His hurried return to Cracow is connected with an influx, of Czechs at the rate of fifty daily. It is understood that already 2,500 are encamped.
