RED CROSS NOTES.

The Red Cross sewing rooms have been attended recently by an unus- ually large number of workers, both in the surgical dressing room and sewing room. It is encouraging to have it thus, and if the attendance is kept up an unusually large shipment will be made soon. The school girls could spend their vacation very prof. itably by a few hours visit each morning, making bandages or doing other work. e

he doubts whether even the priest, not be-
ing peasant, can be altogether pleasing
to heaven; as to Church land. ne holds
very definite views to which the village as
sembies have recently given practical ex-
preston.
"The Ukrainian peasant instinctively be-
licves in the right of every man to the
means of production which he needs for
his work and in the right of property in
the produce Of labor. In the open, UNI
guarded fields around every village tens
of thousands of sheavcs Of grain stand
throughout The summer and not single
sheaf is stolen. But even the most self
respecting peasant will steal wood from
the landowners forest.
Il once caught peasant cutting tree
in forest, disarmcd him and gave him a
hiding. He accepted all that as the natural
course of events. But when called him
thief he told me that not he was the
thief. but the masters. The trees in the
forest and the land in the fields were given
by God to all men alike and are as free
as water and air. They belong to him who
needs them and is able to use them. Such
is the moral background of the Ukrainian
peasant movement.
"Its material foundations arc determined
by the agrarian system which now prevails
IN Eastern Europe. There are the big
landed estates, the mammoth farms, com
prising what used to be the demesne in
the days of serldom about half the land,
and usually the better half. They are run
big capitalist enterprises by their own
ers by big farmers who, as far as the
from the owners The other half of the
land is owned by the peasants. As . rule
they do not. however, own economically
self sufficient farms, such as one finds in
Bohemia, in most parts Of Germany and of
France, and as Stolypin tried to introduce
in Russia
"The great mass of the peasants live in
clustered villages, in huts surrounded by
farm buildings, and usually with an orchard
and small garden plot attached to them
Their land lies out in The open fields and
consists of small scattered strips, some
times distant by miles from each other
When scrfdom was abolished sufficient land
was assigned to each peasant family But
While the internal organization of the big
manor prevents its subdivision among heirs
neither law nor custom nor the nature of
the holding has prevented the division Of
the land of the peasant among his numer-
Gus children
''No wonder then if by most of them
find themselves with too little land to live
on or as cottagers with nothing more than
garden plot. They have to exc out their
existence by working hired aborers on
the big landed estates, and throughout
Eastern Europe goes the cry for the extra
lot new appropriation of land for the
peasants. Short of land for cereals, the
peasants have long ago converted most of
their meadows, commons or forests into
ploughed land. They are therefore short
of pasture for their cows and of wood for
fuel. The demand for forests and meadows
is a more powerful political factor in the
Ukraine than all national ideas put to-
gethcr."

Getting Behind
the Ukraine
Mystery

TT TOOK long time to map Russia,
geographically, and now the
Western world is in the midst of
hurried and difficult attempt to
map Russa-spiritually and physically
The Ukraine, after months of it in the
headlines. hurled at the world as so
many shells, remains mysterious. A
correspondent for "The New States
man." the London weekly, writes enter
taningly and illumnatingly of this un-
known part of the Russian world:
The social structure of the Ukraine ex-
plains its politics. 1t is a country of the
size of France almost exclusively agri-
cultural; practically without any important
industrial towns except for few large
ports Odessa, Nicolaietf); amazingly uni
form in it's social structure, with its social
and economic qualification strongly empha-
sized by difference of languages, culture and
religion. The peasants speak the Little
Russian dialect which a small group of
nationalist intelligentsia, processing
Ukrainian nationality distinct from that of
the Great Russians, tries to develop into a
separate language.
"Whether q 'Ukrainan nationality really
exists is usually discussed in terms in
which the question can receive no answer.
Were one to ask the average peasant in
the Ukraine his nationality he would an
swer that ne is Greek Orthodox; if pressed
to say whether he is Great Russian,
Pole or a Ukrainian, he would probably re-
ply that he is a peasant; and if one in
sisted on knowing what language he spoke
he would say that he talked the local
tongue Or even should he say that he is
'Russky' this answer would hardly pre-
judge the question of Ukrainian national
ity; he simply does not think of nationality
in categories designed by the intelligentsia.
COR again, if one tried to find out to what
state he desires to belong, whether he wants
to be ruled by an ALI Russian separate
Ukrainian government, one would find that
in his opinion all governments are alike
nuisance, and that it would be best if the
Christian peasant folk were left to them
selves.
"All the big landowners and practically
the entire Christian population of the
towns speak either Polish or Great Rus
sian. There are no more Ukranian mob
men and big landowners in thu Ukraine than
there is Nonconformist Alstocracy in
Great Britan-the Ukranian may rise to

dictator, Hetman Skoropadsky), the Octo-
brlst Rodzianko, the Cadet Terestchenko,
were all of Ukrainian extraction, but none
of them thought or thinks himself essen
TALLY different from the Great Russians.
AS a rule, it suffced for the Ukranian
peasant to leave his village community in
order to lose his marked provincial pecu-
larities and his dialect. The larger part of
the tchinovniks and the school teachers
and priests in the Ukraine sneak Great Rus
