Western Galicia, with consider
able portion of Eastern Silesia. will
become part of the new Polish state,
and Eastern Galicia will be united
with the Ukraine and probably form
part of the future United States of

Slovak countries of northern Hungary.
Pennsylvania, with its 100000 Rou-

Russia a Hard Probe I'M.

Probably not even the Peace Com
ference can attempt to solve this un-
settled question to the extent of try
ing at once to establish order or ma
tional unity in Russia, but evacuation
by German troops of all territories
formerly belonging to the Russian
Empire win be exacted, and the alb
rogation of all the iniquitous clauses
in the treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The
special treaties contracted by Ger
many in the Ukraine, Finland and
Georgia will also be declared waste
paper, and the various nations in
habiting Russian territory will be al
lowed to decide their own fates
through elected representatives.
Among these states are Lithuania,
the UKRAINE Esthonia, Lettonia, the
Caucasus and siberia. While admit
ting, however, the right of these small
countries to decide for themselves
what their form of government shall
be. the Peace Conference will make
every effort to encourage them to
form a United States of Russia.

MAN FUR
 WEALTH OF VALLEY |S IN PHOENIX 0N VISIT

George Fl. Maxwell. who hammered the government for twenty years to convince it that there should be gov ornment aid for irrigation, and out of that agitation came the reclamation act is in the city. MT. Maxwell was q frequent visitor 10 the valley after that, and for a time was a resident with extensive interests. He left the valley ten years ago, and until now he has been here but once. five years ago at the time of the celebration of the completion of the Roosevelt dam.
 He observed yesterday that there was the same old sunshine here, but everything else had changed greatly, especially the faces of the people. At one time he knew almost every man in the county; now it is only now and then that he recognizes a face.
 After government aid had become a fact, Mir Maxwell turned his attention to another matter which, at least so far as this state is concerned, will bring more land under cultivation than the reclamation act--river regulation. That took shape in the Newlands river regulation amendment to the rivers and harbors bill, being section 1S of that bill, which was passed on August S 1917. The amendment created q commissio nof seven members to be appointed by the president.
 Notwithstanding the actual creation of the commission by the act and the authorization to the president to name the members, no action has been taken in the year and five months that has elapsed. Mir Maxwell spent some time in Washington previous to October 15 in an effort to get action on the meas ure. and his purpose here is to arouse local interest in it.
