32 Lüxembürger teiting . 19.11.32 Prague, 18 Nov. (D. N. B.) Three Czechs were shot today because of violence against a German. Among them are two police officers. London, 18 nov. (Reuter.) In an explanation given by Benesch today in London, he explained, among other things, that Tscechoslovakia has an irresistible terror. Since Germany's international situation is becoming increasingly difficult and its position in this war is becoming weaker, the rule of Schrectens is becoming more and more brutal and terrible. The Czechoslovak nation has not yet bowed under any regime, nor would it do so. Mr. Benesch, referring to the news from German sources that nine Czech students had been cheated, said that this murder was a reminder of the cases that took place in Belgium during the last war. This crime, in the opinion of the Czech public opinion, plays the same nol as in the English opinion of Miss Cavell's murder. The day will come when the nine students will become national heroes of the Czechoslovatei. It just sets a question of time or rather a fleeting question of the time until the Czechslovateei again emerges politically and nationally.
