In a pamphlet, written in good English and entitled Thre-

Years of the Czecho-Slovak Republic (Prague : Orbis Co.), Mr. Ales Broz has sketched the progress made by the new State since it came into being on October 28th, 1918. That we have heard comparatively little of the Czechs since then is all to the good. Happy the nations that have no history, especially in these troublous days ! But Czecho-Slovakia has done wonders in her quiet way, both in establishing a constitution and in restarting her many important industries.
