at a meeting here of the American
Inventors association, discredited the
belief that the accident which caused
the death of Maj. John Purroy Mitch

aviation accident at Gerstner field.
was the result of failure of the avia-
tor to fasten himself in his plane.
Borglum in his letter intimated that
the accident was the result of a de-
fective plane.
American training planes show a
greater casualty list than those of any
other nation, Borglum stated. He
charged that a lot of airplanes recent

aviator in much the same manner as
former Mayor Mitchell was killed.

DENOUNCED HUNS
Delegate in Pan-SOviet Con-
gress From Ukraine
Did Not Spare Bolsheviki in
His Attack.
BY JOSEPH T. sHAPPLEN

Stockholm, July 12.-Stirring scenes
were enacted during the pan-soyiet
rograd newspapers, which have just
been received here. With German
Ambassador Mirbach occupying one
box and with representatives of the
entente allies in another section a
delegate from the Ukraine, NJ. Alex
androff, precipitated a lively scene by
denouncing German imperialism and
its influence in the Ukraine.
An Appeal From Ukraine.
ST greet the pan-soviets in the name
of the social peasant congress in the
Ukraine where reigns a German die
tatorship and where the Bolsheviki
continue negotiations with the Mar
ionette Skoropadsky simultaneously
tolerating the presence of German i'm
perlalism in the person of Count Mir
bach"
Two hundred and fifty members of
the Left cheered his statements Idly
while Mirbach and his suite sat stiffly
erect.
The Germans are employing i'm
pressment and executions without
trials to suppress a revolt of workmen
and peasants but we know how 10
fight even if you don't" the speaker
continued.
The Germans have come to the
Ukraine to obtain bread, but they
won't get it. Wherever the Germans
have loaded trains we have blown
them up, and have treated likewise
all artillery and magazines in the
Ukraine.
THE Germans sought to transfer
huge aviation machinery from Odessa
and Nikolaieff to the Krupp work
but we blew it up.
THE Germans will be wiped out ir
the Ukraine. They already have PAID
| thousands of lives for their tyranny.
You have concluded the Brest-
Litovsk peace at the price of the
Ukraine's liberty. We now call upor
you to aid u.s.
Down With Brest-Litovsk Treaty.;
Members of the Left and of tht
| Right rose crying: r.
Down with the Brest-Litovsl
| treaty"
Mirbach excitedly whispered to :
German officer. Members of the LET
again began shouting:
Down with Mirbach; down will
| the lackeys of Mirbach-the Bolshe
Wiki"
Leon Trotzky then told the delegate:
| that the government was opposed t.
the offensive of the Red Guard.
