[Military Training for the Falcons]
Svornost, May 17, 1898
Appeal to the Bohemian-Slovak Falcons in Chicago. Taking in consideration that our adopted country is involved in a war with Spain in the liberation of Cuba, we consider it the duty of Bohemian Falcons to offer their services to the country. All Falcon Organizations of Chicago have held a meeting and resolved to hold one every week at 8 P.M., Thursdays. Special training will be in the hall of Pilsen Falcons. This training will be conducted under English command to prepare the Falcons to be ready in case of need.
We appeal to all detachment chiefs to execute this resolution at once.
