Relief for

in Charge of Lady Murriel,
an Englishwoman

Paris. April 1S Correspondence OF
The Associated Press)-A woman has
been entrusted with the big task Of
organizing and administering relief
work in one of Europes new states
Czecho-S -Sfovakia-
Lady Muriel Paget, an English
woman whose devotion to the Czecho-
Slovak cause is we'll known, arrived
l.c,e from I,raGue lvuay aIeei =
months tour Of the new republic. and
outlined to The Associated Press cor
respondent her scheme for the relief
of that country. Her plan, which has
the approval Of the Czecfo-Slovak au-
thorities, is to enlist body OIL able
and willing social workers to tram
the women of Czecho-Slovallia in So
c;al welfare work Her ambition is to
interest patriotic Czech women IN
America in the welfare of their ma
tive land.
There are roughly five million
people in Czecho-Slovakia today who
have just enough to keep body and
soul together" Lady Muriel said.
Against these who may be described
as the rural population. there are T.
100000 who are below the line OF
bare existence. They are. broadly
speaking. the industrial and mining
population.
Food, most Of it from America, is
now coming into the country through
Triesst at the rate Of about hundred
carloads day; yet 100000 people in
eastern Slovakia arc starving, ana
even in the better situated parts the
flour ration is only 8 pounds head
per month
Lady Muriel explained how this
situation is utilized by the MaSyars
in Hungary to SOW discomfort among
the Slovaks.
practically all the intelligent
classes have left Slovakia. Lady Muir
iel continued" and it is during the
present crisis and until their own
people can be trained to do construc-

pcople have asked me TO organize

vice
Lady Muriel will establish her relief
headuarters at PresSburg from which
center the sixteen necessitous Slovak-
ian districts will be fed, clothed and

Ukraine Asks Help
With Assistance of Allies Bol-

Headquarters. Of the West Ukraine
Army. Chodoroff. March Is (Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press
General Pavlenko, commander OF the
West Ukrainian army, suggests that
the Entente Allies aid the Ul;rainians
TO fight the Bolsheviki and that they
also settle the dispute between the
Ukraine and Poland over the Lclnbers
oil fields.
1T would not be hard to defeat
Eolshevik invaders of the Ukraine if
the Allies helped US to organize our
resources and also if the Allies settle
the EenbcrS oil field dispute, thus
freeing the West Uilrailan army SO
that it might join forces with the
army of General Crekow in Greater
Ukraine" said General Pavlenko to
the Associated Press correspondent
L think this would be in the inter
est CT the Allies. We would thus
check the Bolshevik invasion Of Eu-
rope. restore order in the Ukraine

people TO work growing wheat for

task Of holding together and organic
ing the West Ukrainian army is an
arduous one but apparently does not
weigh upon him too heavily.
sThe Ukrainians We're the first peo-
pie 70 begin fighting Bolshevisnl.' re-
sumed the general. This WIS long
before the Allies thought of doing so
yet such is the irony OF circun,stan noes
that the Allies call us Bolsheviki.
The people of Russian Ukraine had
for a time a. touch Of the Bolshevik
disease but they now are cured of it
as they are essentially small farmers
and property owners. | speak OF
Bolshevism as disease since it must
be regarded in that sense, like the
influenza. It presents an attractive
proposition to poor people harassed by
q long war with special hopes for the
future.
'If the Allies visit us in an open
minded spirit they will realize that
we TOO are fighting Bolshevism. If
they will determine to help in this
fight morally and also with medicines
and munitions we will be able to re-
take Greater Ukraine from Moscow
which is bent upon holding all the
territory that previously was Russian.

Russia by anybody as conditions will
