They wrote to the Bohemian National Alliance in Chicago for books and pamphlets on Bohemia, and having received a sufficient supply distributed it with such good effect that few men now in that large cantonment are hazy about who the Bohemians are. ”

“ The boys at Camp Grant are not far from Chicago, and so they drop in quite frequently and receive visits from friends at the camp. Their officers know who the Bohemians are and that their hearts are anything but Austrian. ”
