Between September 17 and 19 riots took place at a number of places in Bohemia and Moravia, including Pardubice, Fribrin, Pilsen, Tabor, Piwk and Brunn.

On September 19 the movement aprend to western Slovakia, and Slovak garrisons revolted. About 15,000 troops had been disarmed when the German authorities realised they were dealing with an organised movement, and ruthless measures were immediately taken.

Indeed, there is some talk of a Yugo-Slav-Russian ron-aggression pect, while the Hungarians are greatly worried at the prospect of having Russia as a next-door neigh- bour.
