But if the Czechs are already removed from the service of arms, then they must give rest and must not conspire in the back of the fighting German Bolten, that will not be allowed to happen at all by German troops and one will intervene ruthlessly against it. Colonel Longin promised to forward the memorandum to General Friderici and to work for the removal of the above-mentioned people after examination of the case.
