German Army strenlgt gttf1ii Ukraiilian Demands
The Greed for Territory Com
mon to All European Nations

Headquarters Of the West UkraIn-
ian Army, Chodoroff. March II (Cor-
irespondence of the Associated Press
The impression prevails Throughout
the Ukrainian army that the lnter-At-
lied Mission (Which visited Lembure
in the latter part Of February to ne
go1iate an armistice between the
Ckrainians and Poles) was unfair in
it's proposals for the armistice.
The Ckrainian soldiers were so
wrought up over this point that they
fred upon the correspondent Of The
Associated Press who crossed frcm the
Polish TO the Ukrainian lines with
the intention Of proceeding to Stanis-
lau. the capital Of West Ukraine.
1t was pointed out by the COM
mander Of the troops, General Pavlen-
ko. that. while the Ukrainians de-
manded that their western border en-
tend as far as the river San thus in
Guiding Lemburg. the entente allies
proposed that his troops should give
up Lemburg and all territory t:1"y'
had conquered and retire on a line to
the east Of Lemburg and also 20 sur
render the oil basins to the southwest
Of that city.
II was stated that the inter-al:ieA
mission paid but two brief visits to
discuss the subject. First the mission
came to deliver a quasiultimatum re-
garding Il truce which was accepted
by, the U;krainianS although hOSti!!tles
were stopped at moment when the
CkrainianS were preparing to take the
city OF Lemburg.
The Ukrainians were disappointed
because when the mission visited
them for a second time. on February
26. the allied representatives went
only to Chodoroff 10 meet General
Petlura, although the mission !iat.
been invited to Stanislau and the
Ckrainians had hoped and expected
they would visit their capital city.
The talk with General Petlura came
to nothing. The Ukrainians declare
that it was too evident that the mis-
sion was prejudiced in favor of the
Poles and they add that the Ckrlin-
ian officers say their own men would
refuse to obey if they were ordered
to retreat from positions they had
won and the land which they declare
s purely Ukranian.

the new German army or Reichswehr
has Professionally been fixed at 241, 500
men, according to information recent
ly reaching American officers in
charge of keeping tab on the demobi-

forces. There are to be sixteen large
and eleven small brigades, the large
brigades to have 10,462 men each and
the small brigades 5.S39 men each.
Corps troops are TO number 5.45S
and General Headquarters troops
about 10000 men, according 70 The
present plans.
Now that the 1899 class Of the old
German army is rapidly, being dis
charged from all units excepting
few in the guard corps and on the
eastern front, there soon will remain
in the garrisons throughout Germany
only two classes of troops--the new
and independent volu1eer units and
the volunteer remnants of the old
army units. Some of the volunteer
remnants have been planning to COM
bine with the new independent volun-
teer units for the ReichSwehr. but in
many other instances it is apparent
they are simply drifting, awaiting
some decision by the War Ministry as
to their future. Reports that the War
Ministry is planning to maintain small
garrisons in every town indicate the
possibility that these remnants are to
remain in the old departments. rath-
er than be transferred into the new

Parish Superintendent FortSon has
been asked by the state educational
authorities to join in the movement
that is being planned to raise Louis
lana from near the bottom round Of
illiteracy per cent among the states of
the union. On account Of the large
negro population the per cent of illit-
eracy in the state is very great. and
BOSSier Parish has an especially high
illiteracy among the negro population
-l6.J per cent.
Mr.. FortSon says he will bring the
matter to the attention of the teachers
Of the parish. with the recommended
ton that they 10 gratis work among
the illiter;lte notwithstanding them to
read and write. ut least. AS far as the
colored population is concerned. he will
take the matter up with Carrie Martin.
Colored Supervisor for the parish. and
she will try to interest the educational
leaders of her race. Among the white
people the per cent of illiteracy is only
81 per cent. and Mr.. FOrtSOn proposes
to reduce this in the same way. That
is. the white teachers are to be asked
to give the adults gratis instruction
where sufficient number can be found
in Il community to form a class. The
months of June. July and August are
suggested for this work.
