IN UKRAINE ARE
 MOST PITIFUL

STANISLAU, Ukraine, June 13 (by Associated Press) Diseases imported from Russia by the way of Kiev and Odessa are spreading to such an alarming extent that the government has closed the frontiers and closely examined civil refugees and other for mer prisoners of war returning to their homes. An investigation by the International Red Cross Mission shows that possibly twenty-five per cent of the population of Lemberg and other centers of Old Galicia are infected by the various forms of typhus, dys- entery, tuberculosis or other infectious or mental and nervous diseases.
 The conditions are considered worse here owing to closer contact with Russia. In one hospital here are 500 cases of typhus and 600 cases of social diseases. For a population of 5,0O0,000 there are but sixty physi- cians. Thus far six doctors have died of typhus and three others are i'll. The conditions are made worse by lack of soaps, disinfectants, change of cloth ing and sheets. Virtually all the win dow curtains have been requisitioned for use as bed clothing or for making women's underclothes.
 Of total of 25O drug stores, 200 are without drugs. In the hospitals all kinds of cases are treated in the same wards.
 These diseases are spreading partly from Russia where it is affirmed that the Red Army is contaminated with social disease to the extent of seventy per cent. Many diseases also were spread by Russian prisoners who were interned in Hungary and who have re- turned to Russia since the armistice was signed. Many of these were in horrible condition. When set free by the authorities and told to go home, they CIOWueu Iue IIdlHS Ill SuCH luLl- bers and under such conditions that thousands died of hunger and illness on the way. One trainload stopped here and dischared 300 dead. More than 5000 such unfortunates now have been buried here.
 In one week there arrived at Kiev trains freighted with 600 dead. The diseases are spread partly by vermin. Lack of food is making conditions worse. There is no coffee. Tea costs sS pound, bread fifty cents pound, sugar $1 a pound and coal, wood and soap are so high that it costs fifty cents to laundry one shirt.

KOREANS EMANCIPATION
 FROM JAPAN

SEOUL, Korea, May Correspond ence of the Associated Press).-Unifi- cation of the Japanese and Korean races is impossible, asserts the or gaizing committee of the independence movement in Korea in a statement which it has issued setting forth the grievances of the Korean people against the Japanese.
 The two chief reasons for Korea's effort to obtain emancipation from Japanese rule are set forth by the com mittee as follows:
 Korea is the much older of the two nations for it has a history of organ ized government extending over a period of 43OO years. During part of that time Korea sent tribute to the court of China, but this was nothing more than an outward expression of the relation between the imperial fam flies of the two nations. Korea was ever the sole possession of our Korean race and was never under the actual control of any foreign nation or gov ernment.
 "The Japanese nation is an entirely distinct race from the Korean. She is an island people and her nakedness of body and mind could only be GOV cred by the civilization she received from Korea and from China during the centuries of the past. Her customs, her literature her very clothing came to her through Korea. Of late years she has added to these the face-poW- der of western civilization; thus she becomes the whited sepulchre of the East. She gives no evidence of moral force, her actions toward our nation has proven her to be the embodiment of cruelty. The evidence is complete that the unifcation of the Japanese and Korean races is an impossibillty.
 What are described as five con- spicuous injustices on the part ot Japan toward Korea" are summarized in the statement The committee as serts that although Korea aided Japan in the war against Russia, "the dog has bitten the hand of him who fed it. v It is alleged that Japan has broken her promise to pay honor to the for mer imperial family of Korea; that it is impossible for Korean to obtain fair treatment in the courts when op posed to the Japanese; that liberty of speech does not exist and that the Jap anese arrested thirty-three men who signed the manifesto of independence on March 1 last.

EPIDEMIC OF TYPHUS
 RAGING IN ARMENIA

LONDON, June 13 by Associated Press) .-"The sights one sees in Armenia are almost beyond belief, and the tales one hears are too ghastly to be inventions"
 This is an extract from a letter an Armenian medical officer, writing from the base of Mount Ararat, to a fellow countryman in London. The letter says:
 Tt may interest you to know of the awful state of distress existing in the country here. Thousands of people are homeless and absolutely destitute. In the town of Erivan alone there are 35,000 refugees. Their country has been ravaged, the houses burned, and the survivors who escaped with their lives have nothing but the rags they are wearing.
 q have been sent down here to in- quire into an epidemic of typhus among the native population. It is as serious as it was reported to be.
 'For months the people have been cut off from all communication with the outside world, with the exception of a small area around Erivan. The whole country has been overrun by it's enemies. There are no supplies of any kind and the population is on the verge of starvation, many already hav-
