Gen. Elias's Fate Dr. Klapka, former Mayor of Prague, sentenced by the People's Tribunal. fell before a firing squad somewhere in the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia a few days ago. He had been a witness for the prosecution of General Elias, Premier of the protectorate who has also been sentenced to.death, but the fact that he had turned prosecution's evidence. served in no way to save his life. It now remains to be seen what will be the fate of General Elias. His trial is said to have lasted three hours. Havas in a report concerning the case states: "The statements made by General Elias seem to show that events which had occurred while he was at the head of the Government did not correspond with his personal views. but he was unable to prevent them. From the German view that General Elias played a double game and misinformed the Protector. (supposedly von Neurath—Ep.), it appears that the activity of the Premier was Wneovered only when Herr Heinrich Heydrich high Gestapo official. was appointed acting Protector of Bohemia and Moravia." If that statement is correct it would follow that General Flias was more sinned against than sinning, but that is not expected to weigh much with "Butcher" Heydrich, who was obviously sent into Czechoslovakia' to strike terror into the hearts of a people who'are remarkably difficult to -terrorize. The present German tactics may have the result of driving the resistance movements in the unoccupied countries underground, but it is certain that they will never be able entirely to superes them. Such a movement has existed in Czechoslovakia since Hitler lessly grabbed it, and al! the German effo: day in the year you through it.
