Little Russia and Her Stormy Career

Russia against Poland, with Poland against
Turkey, with Turkey against the Tatars.
They assisted in placing an unfrocked monk
upon the throne at Moscow. They were
simply natural warriors who rejoiced in that
occupation The warrior shaved his head
except for a wisp on the crown, which was
allowed to grow long enough to wind around
the ears.
although processing the Orthodox Greek
faith, they were the brigands and the cor
sairs of Christianity. Though nominaly
subjects of Poland for a long time, the
Ukrainians we're constantly involving Po-
land in trouble with the Tatar and Turkish
rulers. At times they even captured Polish
peasants and sold them as slaves TO the
Tatars, who in turn passed them on to
Persians
"Thc most serious conflict waged by
Poland with her rebellious Ukrainians was
during the instruction under Chmielncki
in 1649. The massacres and cruelties per-
petratcd by the half-civilized bordes from
the Ukraine were as barbarous as those of
the American Indians during the onward
march OF the whites.
con the failure Of his rebellion Chemiel-
nicki offered the annexation of Little Rus
STA to Moscow. The offer was accepted in
1863, when it came under the suzerainty of
that growing empire Always striving for
complete independence, the Ukraine was
never quite able to achieve it. Two wars
with Poland resulted from that action.
at was more than a century after its
incorporation before the entire province
was brought into cOrnnlete s11hiection nv
the developing Russian Empire The 'het-
man was maintained for some time, but this
office was abolished by the vigorous Cath
crime the Great, and under her it became
an integral part of the empire.
"The Ukraine's experiences with war and
disaster would long ago have broken the
spirit of gifted with less elastic
temperament. There are elements in their
temperament that enable them to stand much
oppression without revolt. This character
lstlc may help the German in his attempts
to make the Ukraine subject nation.

preparations have been cut down. Ju-
venile delinquency has increased at least
40 per cent, due to this and other
causes. Now England has discovered
her mistake. and is endeavoring to reor-
ganize her free education, and is appro-
priating several millions for the pur-
pose. This because eve have no right

The British Health of Munitions Work
ers' Committee says: when war is de-
stroying so much of its best manhood
the nation is under special obligation to
secure that the rising generation grow
up strong and hardy, both in body and
character. 1t is necessary to guard not
only against immediate breakdown. but
also against the imposition of strains
which may stunt future growth and de.
velopment." The Importance of taking
such a stand is greatly emphasized by
an investigation of seventeen towns
made by the English Home Office. This
study revealed SO per cent increase
in larceny and so per cent increase
in assaults and gambling by children.
The condition seems to be almost uni
versal in England France and Italy, and
almost as bad in Canada.-Ihc Christian

cial welfare, is "a beacon of light in the
history of labor legislation" declares
"The Mexican Review" which presents
the following synopsis Of the article in
question, taken from the Latin American
Year Book Of 1918:
"The new constitution provides that Con-
gress and the legislatures of the states shall
regulate labor matters, provided all egisla-
ton adopted is along the following lines: A
maximum days work Of eight hours in the
day time and seven hours in night time. In
unhealthy and dangerous occupations also in
night work and for children of twelve to
sixteen years, the working day must be six
hours. Labor of children under twelve is
forbidden. A day OF rest for each six days
is established. Liberal provisions are
adopted in reference to the work of married
women for the protection Of their children.
Minimum wages shall be fixed according to
local conditions. Workmen will have the
right TO part of the profits. Equal wages
are established for both sexes and all ma.
tionaltics. The minimum wage cannot be

to be paid in legal money. Overtime shall
be paid ut double price, and under no cir
cumstanccs more than three hours overtime

women, or children under sixteen. En-
ploycrs in agricultural, mining any other
enterprise arc compelled to furnish healthy

of the building. Employers are also obliged
to furnish schools, hospitals, markets, ETC.,
when necessary, and are forbidden to open
barrooms and gambling places for their
workmcn. They are liable for accidents and
illness. The adoption, in shops and fac
tories, of sanitary conditions and devices

sorry. Both employc and employer have the
right to associate for the defence of their
interests. The law recognizes the right to
strike and lock out. Strikes are forbidden
when brought by acts of violence or in case
Of war, when affecting government services.
Military establishments, however, arc under
military law. Lockouts arc only recognized
when necessary because of an excess in the
production. Boards Of Cancellation and ar
bitration are established for the settlement
Of all labor differences. Arbitration OF
labor difficulties is compulsory. Employers
refusing to arbtratc arc liable to pay their
workmen three months salary. Workmen

practice parachute jump of 1000 feet from
an observation balloon. high wind had
carried him a considerable distance, and in
landing he became hopelessly entangled in
the cordage. The parachute was caught by
strong air current and blown at terrific
speed across the field, pulling its helpless
prisoner with it. At the same instant the
cyclist, passing along a nearby motor road,
