Los Angeles, Cal, April 26.-Mary
pickford, queen of the movies, AM
erica's sweetheart, the best known
face In the world. etc.. ETC., has fall
en- from her pedestal with the an
nouncement by her husband, Owen
Moore, the motion picture actor, that
he will shortly file suit for s25O,000
against Douglas Fairbanks, the ath-
letic movie star, charging him with
alienation of affections of his wife.
1t was the act of Fairbanks's wife

no longer live with her husband be-
cause of his infatuation for a movie

There has been but one aggressor
in the case. My wife has been as
much victimized as the rest, not
wholly blameless, perhaps, but i'm

Recently when Mary Pickford was
told that Mrs. Fairbanks had charg-
ed that her (Mary's) name had been
connected with that of Douglas Fair
banks, for the past eight months,
Mary declared Ii was absurd" and
said she could not understand why
she could be concerned over the
gossip or busybod1es.
Fairbanks got busy and made a
speech on the subject, using 1t in
connection with his Liberty Loan
work. He declared that it was a
German plot" to injure him be-
cause of his interest in the Liberty
Loan. II have been reported shot

have passed away long ago and changed
hands many times, altering both the
nature of their inhabitants and Of their
culture.
The strongest claim Of the Ukrai-
mans on Ukrainia is photographic, for
there is no gainsaylng their power
over the great territory bounded on the
west by the River Dniester as far as
Pruth, on the east by the River Don,
on the north partially by the River
Pripet and the River Dnieper, and on
the south by the Black Sea.
1t is this territory which is now in
the hands OF the Ukranians. The
frontiers have not been definitely drawn,
for on the east the independent Don
Cossacks are still active, whereas the
Rumanlans are settling in the west in
Bessarabia, and a part of the province
Of Kherson. The Austro- Germans di3
not even indicate the frontiers sepa-
rating the Ukraine from Russia and
Lithuania on the north in the peace
drawn up with Ukrainia.

Ukrainians are not the only national
ity in that territory. The peasant
population is Ukrainlan without eXcep
ton. The land of the nobility is
either in the hands of the Poles or of
Russians. The Ukrainians have practi
cally no land owning class, for the land
was presented to off iclals and generals
for services either by Poland or by
Russia. The few Ukrainian noblemen
have become assimilated with either
the Poles or the Russians.
The fate of the Ukrainian intellect
ual elements has been similar. The
prohibition both in Russia and in
Galicia of organizing their own schools,
developing their own science and art,
deprived the Ukrainians of that upper
intellectual class which the Poles and
Russians possess. The towns are in
habited principally by Jews. The So
called Jewish pale" in Russia which
existed under the old regime was al
the Ukrainan territory, and because of
that, in the course Of the last half CEN
fury of Russia's history, the Jews
formed rather considerable percent
age in the population Of Ukraina.
Made up thus of several nationalities,
the new Ukrainian government is
obliged, from the start, to allow each
one of them full opportunity for the
development Of their own national cult
ure. And this necessarily needs the
most strange developments in the in
ternal policy of the new Ukrainia. In
fact, the whole country is strange, and
really represents the last work in state
development, comprising political unit
within which different nationalities are
given full freedom of cultural self-de-
termination.

Little Russia's" Lead
ers Never Asked indie
pendence, but Only
Internal Autonomy
By A. Yakovlevich

TIME declaration and the practical
realization OF >Ukrainia's indie
pendence is indeed a marvel
and surprise Of the present time,
so rich in surprises and in unexpected
adventures. The Ukrainian writer's, po-
litical leaders and statesmen of the
past and the present generations never,
even in their fondest dreams, seemed
20 have gone to the extent of demand
ing complete independence for
Ukrainia and its separation from the
rest of Russia. Some OF them insisted
on the desirability and necessity OF
developing the national Ukrainian cult
urc; others preached for political self
government; while the most daring
wished for an organization of Russia
on the basis of a federation, with
Ukrainia as an autonomous part of the
great Russian federation Only the ex-
IRENE socialistic parties of Ukrainia
raised their voices during the last few
years in favor Of an independent Little
Russia. but even to them this was only
a far off deal one Of the demands in
their maximum programme" In prac
ice these parties worked primarily for
Ukrainia united with Russia but en-
joying complete internal autonomy.
Even when, only few months ago,
the ruling body of Ukrainia, the Cen
trail Rada. in Kicv, made public its
demands it did not 60 to the extent
Of demanding independence and separa-
lion for Ukrainia. In that famous docu-
ment, published on November 20, 1917,
through which the people of Ukrainia
declared their intentions, in view of
the coup-d'etat in Petrograd through
which the Bolsheviki came into power,
separation from Russia is denied spe-
officially.

How She Differs
In Mind and Morals

The Ukrainians are very peaceful.

conserve within themselves such great
powers as those of the Great Russians,
nor have they created any of those
great problems of forms Of social life
nor revolution, differences in religion
and morals as the Russian people They
do not know the collisions of the north
ern Russians.
Little Russia has not created any
Raskolnikov or Karamazov, those r.
nous heroes of Dostoievsky, Nekhludo.,
the hero Of Tolstoy, nor has she had
any OF the sectarians and restless
minds, such as Stenka Rain, those
beggar types, deeply humanitarian
criminals and liberal leaders. She has
neither the highly tragic literature of
Russia nor the inimtable music Of
Russia, nor that sweeping Russian eX-
pansiveness which has stamped its
mark Of immensely upon Great Russia.
The Little Russians, being a southern
people, are more plastic and are greater
lovers Of life, the soil, beauty, the quiet
and soothing song, and charming nat

it may be Tor this reason that they are
more capable of passing unscathed
through grave dangers and evil times?
The loss of Ukrainia is great
misfortune 10 Russia, for Ukrainia had
become an integral part of Russia.
During the years of national trials
both peoples had learned to understand
and appreciate each other better than
they had before. Perhaps not all is
yet lost, not all the threads have been
torn between these two sisterly ma
tons. 1t is possible that they may yet
decide to combine voluntarily into one
mighty and free Slavic state.
And no greater fortune or happiness
could befall the great world of the
Slavs.
