Belgrade, May 4.
Prince Paul, first Regent of Yugoslavia, has appointed M. Ilka Youkich to the post of Assistant-Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. Youkich is a member of the Croat Party, and was formerly the assistant of M. Vladimir Machek, leader of the party.
The Yugoslav Sokols, an organization for the youths of Yugoslavia, have been instructed by their leaders to maintain a state of preparedness. This appeal was made today, and the Sokols were told to intensity their military training and to fight against any spirit of defeatism. "This will be your reply to the dangers threatening our country," the appeal stated.
The members were also asked to watch out for foreign agents and spies "thousands of whom have entered the country disguised as tourists' or scientists,' and specialists'." These foreigners are interested in Yugoslavia only from a strategical point of view, and many of them managed to smuggle themselves into the armament industry as workers,—Havas.
