GENERAL MOBILISATION IN CZECHO-SLOVAKIA NOW WELL UNDER WAY
Prague, To-day.
|The new Czech Government of General Sirovy has extended its military measures according to German information, so that the Czecho-Slovak State is now not far removed from the state of complete mobilisation.
During the whole of yesterday without interruption special trains filled with soldiers were leaving Prague's railway stations making for the frontier.
The troops consist chiefly of re- servists called to the colours on Thursday.
Fortifications in the frontier re- gions are everywhere occupied by the strongest masses of troops. It is estimated that already 900,000| men are under arms and that this number will increased by re- servists already called up for ser- vice. Railway traffic for the civil population has to a large extent been stopped.
The State Railway Management in Koniggrotz has already an- nounced that no more goods can be accepted for transport over the Tannendorf-Oberkreibitz line nor
on the Parsowitz-Libau line;
The station of Johannesbad, congested by military transports; cannot until further notice accept any further despatches of wood and other building materials.
