At Marienbad

CZECKO-SLOVAKIA

There are famed wells at Marienbad which have cured the distempers of many of the bourgeoisie of Germany. The property at the famous watering place is mostly in the hands of the Abbey of Tepl. Until recently it was leased by the Abbot to a German-Bohemian corporation. Now he is suing to recover it.

The Czech Government has been campaigning against both the Church and the German element in the country. Last week a commission from its Land Expropriation Bureau swept down without notice in Marienbad, seized the establishment, took over the management, appropriated all cash on hand, discharged all employes and replaced them by Czechs, declared that only Czech might be spoken.
