with the Poles.
In the subjoined article The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent has given
some informative details of the
situation now existing in the Tx
raine.l
STANISLAU, West Ukraine
Much anxiety is felt in this capital
Of the West Ukrainian republic
over the future attitude of the En-
tente Allies following the ultimatum
delivered by the Inter-Allied mission
at Lemberg that if the Ukrainians
resumed military operations against
the Poles they would have to answer
for the consequences. While their
present temporary successes in the
operations about Lemberg have had
a heartening eject upon the Tx
rainian troops, this has not been
much reflected here.
The situation in this capital is
much the same as that which pre-
vailed in Poland in the early part
of December. There is considerable
fear of further gains by the Boil
sheviki in Russian Ukraine, where
they still are holding Kiev, although
the Ukraine military authorities de-
clare they will be able to drive
back the Bolsheviki forces within
a month, particularly if they are
not harassed by the Polish or Ru-
manian armies However, there is
more order in the West Ukraine
now than there was in Poland up
to within month ago.
Food conditions are better, with
meat selling at 80 cents a pound
though bread and sugar are high.
Medicines, soap and clothes are
scarce and high. 1t is pointed out
that the whole country OF East
Galicia has been the field of the
operations of the Austrian and
Russian armies for four years with
now and then an incursion of the
Turks and Germans, all of whom
made acquisitions upon the people.
This was especially true of the
Germans and, the peasants say,
proved worse thieves than the Rus
slams" -.>: r. +
The whole flat country from
Lemberg to Stanislau has barren
devastated appearance. Houses are
rare except at railway stations and
most of these stations have beer
destroyed by shellfire. A COW,
sheep or horse is rarely to be
seen. For dozens upon dozens of
miles the fields which are turning
green with the coming of spring
reveal long stretches Of trenches
and barbed wire hanging awry with
here and there bases for cannon,
and often crosses marking the
buriel places left in the trail %
the armies.
Railway trains which are drawn
by wood-burning locomotives drag
across the rivers where wooden
military bridges have replaced the
steel ones destroyed by shellfire
or mine.
The city of Stanislau was far
more seriously damaged by the
Russian and Austro-Bulgarian arm
les than was either Przemsyl or
| Lemberg. Neither of the two latter
cities have serious scars of the
world war, but Lemberg shows
marks of the recent conflict be-
: tween the Poles and the Ukraines.
/ The center of Stanislau was de-
stroyed by fire. Many of its fine
business blocks now are mere heaps
of brick ruins. This was especially
true along the fine Saphleha street,
where the Austrian and Russian
shells both brought disaster The
Ukraine cathedral, which was one
of the oldest and handsomest of its
