For the Political Action!

DennĂ­ Hlasatel, May 1, 1915

The donations for the political action of the Ceske Narodni Sdruzeni (Bohemian National Alliance) have been increasing considerably these last few days. But the credit for this goes again to people outside of Chicago. For instance, $15.00 reached us from Cedar Rapids, on the day of our demonstration, and the amount was immediately sent to Europe. Thus, the "Ceske Atheny" (Bohemian Athens) has advanced to leadership among the Western cities.

The second large donation was $500 that came to us from the Narodni Sdruzeni [Branch] of Detroit, which transferred the title to this amount from the Cesko-Slovansky Pomocny Vybor (Bohemian-Slavonic Auxiliary Committee), to which it had been sent originally, to the Narodni Sdruzeni. The third large donation came from the Jednota Ceskych Dam (Bohemian Ladies' Unity) in the amount of $275.....

[The article enumerates other donations, in amounts from $1 to $25.]

....Thus the Narodni Sdruzeni has received $2,574.19 since April 19, of which only $574.19 came from Chicago!....
