Said to Be Exceeded.

VIENNA, Aug. / (delayed) The Poles
announce the continuance of their VIC

They are crossing the Zbrucz River at
various points. TIT should be noted that
the Poles were authorized by the Peace

is said to be Kamenetz, Podolia, which Is

Regarding Polish charges that the
Ukranians are favoring German COM
naturalization of Russia, NJ. Stepanokov,
director of the Cooperative Land Banks,
maintained by 100000 farmers. with
headquarters formerly at Kiev. said:
THE country above all we wish to do
business with is America. 1t is true
that at present French politics is driv-
ing us into the arms of the Germans,
but we realize that the Germans would
attempt to exploit US and also that
they have no resources.
Recently the Germans offered US a
very big loan and also unlimited sup
plies. but we rejected the offers. as we
felt acceptance would mean the ruin OF
our prospects in the United States. For
eigners do not realize that 6b per cent
OF old Russia's grain and sugar exports
came from the Ukraine. and also that
we have plenty OF leather. hemp, fax.

are willing now to buy clothing and
