Two Ukraihian Armies
Continue to Battle;
Jealousy Is Cause

London, Aug. 80 those who
still have an appetite for war and
gore, the rather befuddling wars

ing the bolsheviks and the next

the Poles. might better be followed
after absorbing this preface.
UkraNria, across which armies
have been surging back and forth
for some years now, sometimes
fighting. sometimes running, some
times rillaging, has produced two
military chieftains. General Petlura
and General Pavolenki, both of
whom claim to be real boss of the
ranch
Each is jealous Of the others
power, Neither is able to over
throw the other. Both at times
have fought the bolsheviks and
likewise the Poles. The Poles
make ar armistice with one and the
other straightaway allies himself
witt. the bolsheviks and launches
an attack on the temporarily rest
ing Poles. The war starts ;new.
The Poles have advanced far into
Ckralnla, on the assumption they
have right to protect people of
Polish extraction.
The Ukrainians are radicals in
political thought, but are determined
to prevent deputies of Lenine and
Trotzky usurping power; the
Ukra;nians feel able to do that for
themselves, meanwhile there is
fighting.

COL. HOUSE May
BE SUMMONED.
BY COMMITTEE
Solution of Long Standing Po-
|iticaI Mystery Seen by
Republicans at =
Hearing.
By JUSTIN M'GRATH.

Washington, Aug. us the great
political mystery of Colonel Edward
M. House at last to be unveiled?
At the hearing of the senate for
eign relations committee Secretary
Lansing excused his lack of knowl-
edge on many features of the nego-
tiations by saying he had not par
ticipated in them. The only men,
Der Of the commission other than
President Wilson to have knowledge
of them, the secretary said, was Col
onel House Mr.. Lansing suggested
the committee summon Colonel
House when he returns to this coun-
try.
Republicans Are Pleased.
No development OF the hearing
brought more satisfaction to the re-
publican members of the committee
than this suggestion of Mr.. Lansing.
They were exceedingly grateful for
it, for they at once appreciated the
large political possibilities it pre-
scented.
Ever since President Wilson had
been in office, the republicans have
been exceedingly anxious to learn
the facts of his relations with Col
onel House. No opportunity for as
certaining them authoritatively has
as yet presented itse1.
But now the opportunity comes
,nJ x.,hot tho ran,hl
can avail themselves Of it without
putting themselves in any unseen
ing light. They do not have to take
the initiative. They merely act upon
the suggestion of the most promi-
nent member of Mr.. Wilson's cab
met.
| am violating no confidence when
! say they are eager to act on it,
aud certainly will do so if Colonel
House shall return to the United
States before the treaty of peace
will have been ratified by the SEN
ate.
House May Not Return.
But it will intrest some of the
republican senators, who are eager
to have Colonel House on the wit
ness stand before them to learn
there is very strong probability of
their fond expectations being disap-
pointed. Colonel House may not
return to the United States until
after the treaty is ratified. He
probably would not have returned
even though there had been no like
lihood that he would have to meet
the ordeal of facing the senate for
eign relations committee and being
catechlSed by its members. Now
that it is certain that he will have
to meet that ordeal in case he does
return, his coming will be more GER
tainly postponed.
Even before President Wilson
left Europe there was an under
standing between him and Colonel
House, | have been credibly in
formed, by which Colonel House
was to remain in Europe to act as
the presidents personal representa-
tive on all matters relating to the
peace treaty and the league of ma
tons, which might come up.
