HEADED BY PROF. MILUKOEF

K leader of the Russian Constitutional
, Democrats, and foreign minister in
the Cabinet of Premier Lvoff, which
was formed after the overthrow of
the imperial dynasty, has arrived in
Paris with Nicholas Schebeko, former
Russian ambassador at Vienna, and
four other Russians, representing the
various political parties exclusive of
4 the Bolsheviki and the Extreme Left
4 of the social revolutionaries The
Russian leaders say they have come
here for the purpose of interesting
&the Entente Powers in the restoration
of order in Russia; so that govern
ment may be- formed which will re-
unite Russia and win recognition
from the world powers.
B@ The party left Kiev thru weeks
sPago and Travelled to Paris by way of
4 Odessa. When Prof. Mlukoff left
kiev the Skor6padsk Government, he
said, was hard pressed because the
Germans never had permitted Gen.
Skofopadski to organize his own army
and the Ukrainian force was small
after the German troops withdrew.
Situation in Ukraine.
Prof. Milukoff said Gen. Skoropad
ski never was popular with the
ukrainians because he advocated an
independent Ukraine, while the public
largely favored united Russia. En-.
tensive Ukrainian movements also
have been directed against Skoropad-
ski, the constitutional democratic
leader added, and it is likely that the
general has been overthrown.
In the meantime Gen. Denikine, for
mer chief Of the Russian general staff,
has established government at Yeka-
'terinodar, which Prof. Milukoff and
his. associates said they hope to see
develop sufficient strength to unite all
the moderates in the Ukraine and
eventually to merge with the govern
ment of Gen. Kolchak Mt Omsk, ,Sibe-
ria, into a central government pledged
to the promotion of Russian unity
, Other members of the Russian mission
now here are Vladimir Gurko,
, brother of Gen. Gurko, who formerly

the aspirations of Russia before the
