=Capek, Thomas.= Slovaks of Hungary, Slavs and Panslavism. priv. ptd. T. Capek, 225 E. 71st St., N. Y.

“While we have no desire to question the aim and purpose of the writer, we believe that a greater service would have been performed if he had aimed to interpret to the American people more of the virtues and qualities which make the Slovak immigrant a desirable addition to our population.”
