ference. He had declared himself to
be in full accord with Germany even
in the matter of the indemnity And,
Selling every member of the former
government who didn't flee in time,
Won Eichhorn made him Germany
figurehead. Nothing now could stand
in her way. She had the Ukraine by
the throat, and had only to collect.
The Peasants to the Rescue
As a matter of fact she had already
touched off her own conflagration,
through her wheat requisitioning
troops" Wherever they went peas
antry believed to be completely coweo
began to rise at once. What wheat
was in the bin they hid in pits; what
was in the rick they burned. Where
they couldn't get their sheep and cat
tie away, they killed them. And TAX
ing to the woods, even as if it hao
been the battle line, they gave them
selves to the business of fighting Ger
mans again.
In one way it was peasants war,
In others it was unique. For instead
of scythes and pitchtorks the peas
ants were armed with perfectly gooo
service rifles. They have been at.
tacking troop trains and blowing up
bridges. For heavy fighting, as
many as 10000 have acted together.
And lately they have been joined by
practically all Ukrainia's railroad
workers.
They are Supposed to be striking,
But as a strike it. too, it unique.
What the strikers demand is not high
er pay and shorter hours but the res
toration of the constitution and the
convoking of a constituent assembly
Meanwhile along with the peasants
they are enforcing their demands with
rifles and hand-grenades, even with
artillery. Guerilla warefare is con
slant" reported Hoeglund the Swed,
sh socialist, a few days before Field
Marshal Won Eichhorn was assinated
And by now, according to a Dutch
observer, "it is unsfe outside the rang
of the big guns of Keif. Conflicts oc-
eur daily, while occasionally battles
take place lasting several days. The
Germans are living in little Hades
Disappointment at Its Deepest
But in the matter of this Ukraine
disappointment, it is the Germans
themselves who bear the best witness.
u those 100,000,000 pools of wheat,
now much did they really obtain? Less
than 100000. And" says the semi
official Cologne Gazette, I'VE should
like our eternal advisers to tell us no"
they would have obtained it," The
will permit no more civil
Germans to go to Ukraina because
those now there desire only to gel |
back again" Far from going on to |

even with Austria. The diplomats |
sourly blame the Won Eichhorns.
The same power"-the German mill
tary powers-"says deputy Erazber-
ger, (which shattered Russia is nov
iolng everything possible to make

With those of the Entente" snaris the
Krupp organ, the Rheinische-West.
.alishe Zeitung, ours have failed con
Dlaely." I'VE are beginning to won

our treaty with the Ukraine we are
getting anything whatever"
Disappointment could scarcely &C
deeper than that. Meanwhile, even as
the Ukrainians have confidence IL
American money, it would appear tC
be wise for us to begin to trust IN
the Ukrainians.

FIELD MARSHAL FRENCH IS
MADE VlCER0Y OF IRELAND
Though OF Irish Extraction, People
Do Not Take Kindly to Appoint
menis; See COnscription Threat.

LONDON, May 6,-The appoint
ment Of Field Marshal Niscount
French as viceroy OF Ireland, came
somewhat as a surprise. 1t was
known that the government was ex-
perienclng considerable difficulty In
finding a successor to Baron VIM
bourne and that this was the reason
for the delay in announcing officially
the appointment OF Edward snort
as chief secretary, which was known
unofficially many days ago.
Vlscount French is OF Irish ex-
traction. He has a seat in Ireland,
is colonel OF an Irish regiment and
a popular figure in the country, but
this is hardly likely to reconcile the
Irish people to his appointment, for
they will see in it nothing but a
threat to put conscriptlon into eff
feet.

yesterday, alleging cruel and inhuman
treatment and non-support of herself

that her husband transferred property
owned by him to defraud her of her
dover rights.

is that her husband had her forcibly
removed to Bellevue Hospital for
the purpose Of having her Committed
to an institution as insane. He also
made pretended sale Of $4,000 worth
OF her diamonds, which she turned
over to him for safekeeping, to his
