tBrig. Gen, Edgar Jadwin is a
member of the Morgenthau mission
sent to Poland by the United States to
investigate reports OF pogroms in that
section. 1t was feared he had been
killed by the Bolsheviki late in Sep

word came from Warsaw October of
his safe arrival in that city. Gen. Jad-
win graduated from West Point an
1871, and was construction engineer
on the Panama canal under Geu
Goethals. As commander Of one of
the engineer regiments in France
Gen Jadwin cut redtape and was sub

formalities. Later, he was placed in
command of the service of supply for
the American army in Franee0
Patriotism has been born in Rus

thrown back from czarism to Bolshe-

Volunteers Fight FierceIy.

he felt so sure OF the outcome He
replied, Because Denikine's army is |

Ukraine was in favor of united
Russia. He replied.
Il found many people who wanted
autonomy for the Ukraine and more
people agreed with Denikine's plan
for a united Russia, but home rule
for the Ukraine. They wanted to be
part of Russia-they are Russians
but they don't want to be ruled from
Petrograd. Just now they will 10

1t is still difficult to get Petlura ana
Deuikine to agree, although neither

II thought that an understanding
had about been reached, when Petlura
again attacked Denikine's troops on
the Dnieper. Petlura's army is about
officers from Galicia.
Aid From Germans?

was true that Petlura was aided by
The Germans.
