Czech Legation flag at half-mast. Washington, D.C., Nov. 18. Nine students suspected of anti-nazi outbreaks in Prague have been executed by German storm troopers and 1200 more held under arrest. At Berlin, a high official said that while the execution of the students 'may seem harsh,' it was necessary because Germany was at war and 'can not allow the Czech people to be contaminated by a few hotheads.'
