SOKOL PROPERTY
EXPLOITED BY THE GERMANS. Last year the Nazis seized all the property belonging to the Czech Sokol organisation, which forms the basis of that famous physical culture movement long operating in Czechoslovakia. This property, including not only excellently equipped gymnasiums but also many cinemas and inns, is now controlled by a central German office established in Prague. The managers of local Sokol branches have to report monthly, in German, concerning revenues received from cinemas and inns kept running for the benefit of the Reich. All Sokol insignia, however, have been removed from the buildings. From the former Sokol gymnastic halls, all movable equipment, especially that of leather and linen, has been taken to Germany;, as a rule, only; empty buildings remain.
