 the president of the Lithuanian Autonomy
 fund, which is as close kin to the meet
 ing in purpose as the Lithuanians are
 to the Ukrainians in race.
 Other Congresses to Come
 And following Dr. Szlupas was simon
 o. Pollock, a New York lawyer, who re- called with feeling some years of his childhood spent in the Ukraine. Deelar- ing that this was the first congress of a
 submerged people, he prophesied similar meetings Of the other stuffed races who
 are fighting in all armies, raVaged by every conqueror and, in times of peace
 as well as war, oppressed by all tyrants, It was perfectly clear that the promise of both the CZar of Russia and of the Kaiser of Germany of an autonomous Poland was no promise at all to these men. For while they have no love of kings the oppression they feel most is that by the Polish nobles, who are their overlords in both Russia and Austria. With no aristocracy and no middle class, the Ukrainians are peasant race Of ancient civilization, democratic In spirit, with a rich social life expressed in many forms of cooperative enterprise In the early days they formed a part Of the Empire of Vladimir the Great of Kien.
 
 turies they organized the Cossacks Of
 Zaporozhe wrested their independence from the Poles and joined Russia. Later Russia divided the Ukraine with Poland and now the Ukrainians are subject to both the Russian government and the Polish nobles.
 At their meeting in New York the Uk- rainians declared:
 .'The ultimate goal of the Ukrainian movement is the establishment Of an in-
 dependent Ukranian state which would comprise the Ukrainians now inhabiting the countries of eastern Europe But realizing that this ultimate aim may not be accomplished in the near future and not unmindful of present day conditions, which present problems of immediate inn portance the Ukrainians demand that in Austria Hungary the Ukrainian territory be organized into self-governed province on federal lines, where the Ukrainian por- ulation, not dominated by the Poles or their aristocracy. shall solve it's own na- tional and econimic problems. They de- mand also that the Russian Ukraine in fulflment of the treaty of Pereyaslaw, which is still on the statute books Of Russia and has not been abrogated, be granted autonomy"

Demand Their Independence

The above organization, composed of men and women who come from Ukraine southern Russia and eastern Galicia- knowing the conditions prevailing In their motherland, naturally hope that when time of peace will come, their nationality will also be afforded democracy and au- tonomy.
 For the reason stated above they de- mand for their brethren in Europe the establishment of an independent Ukraln- ian state, which should comprise the Uk- rainians now inhabiting the countries of eastern Europe"
 A bit later a thick-set, bearded man stood on the platform where Lincoln spoke--the platform which for genera tions has been hospitably open to every sort of protest-and spoke to them in rolling, impetuous sentences of the Polish tongue, which is understood by all east ern Slavs All through he had his audi ence with him, admiring and eagerly ap- plauding.

That patriotism is real and vital thing to new Americans as we'll as to old and that the war Is bringing to the surface a great surge of patriotism by the op- pressed races of Europe, was concretely demonstrated by cheering, hat-waving half thousand of brawny young working men who almost raised the low roof of old Cooper Union hall in New York city at the first congress of Ukrainians ever held in the United States.
 The delegates, 507 in all represented the 40 societies ''composed of naturalized American citizens and of men and women about to become American citizens" who comprise practically all of the half mill lion Ukrainians in this country And the shouting was laundering affirma- tive vote for a resolution demanding that the submerged races. the smothered folk, of Europe, be given their day at the con gress of powers which shall settle the war.
 Who the Ukrainians Are
 The Ukrainians are known in Russia, where SO.0oO,eOo of their total of 35. .ooO, 900 live, as Little Russians. In Austria, MiiSHe over o,VuV,VOu i've III the province of Galicia, they are called Ruthenians. In the United States. where there are 5o0,0o0 of them, mostly in factories and mines, and in Canada, where there are 250,000 on western farms, they are scarcely distinguished from Russians. But they are very insistent In pointing out that they are as different from the Russians as ara tha R,,lpariaps
 They occupy all of the northern half of Russia in Europe. and large section of Austria. in all territory larger than France. in the fertile ''black soil belt'' of southeastern Europe.
 At the congress, following a preface in which the Ukrainians declare their allegiance to this republic and pledge 1t their undivided support in peace and war;" President Wilson is called upon to present their case to the conference of powers on these grounds:
 "Imbued with the spirit of American democracy and believing in equality of man and woman in political and civil matters, having learned of the opportu- mites afforded by the American Institu- tions. and bearing in mind that the sub merged nationalities in Europe do not en- Joy these privileges, although entitled thereto this congress proclaims the right to democracy and autonomy for all na- tionalities in Europe now the object of contest in war

The wide tucks running around the

yards in the width, combine to make
the flare that is to be achieved in this
