perience the fullest freedom Of their
independent growth.
We have waited many months for
these days Of readjustment and recup-
Grafton to come, and they have not
come. 1t is very hard to say in quiet
phrases, what has happened in Uk-
raine since the revolution. War and
disorder, devastation and confusion
became the lot of the distracted coun-
try. The Ukrainian Peoples Republic
has had to defend its very existence
against German invasion, against
Russian Bolshevist conquest, against
Poland's noble legions, against Deni-
kin's Cossack raids and the dark forces
behind them, against internal strife,
against marauding bandit gangs,
against an economic ruin, against a
complete breakdown and disaster.
For the Jews, this disaster resulted
in pogroms.
Who are the guilty ones? Who has
to bear the CHASTITY responsibility?
The errand ! am bound on to Ameri-
ca, comprises no obligation to lie eth
er for my country or for my country
men. Before we condemn anybody we
have to sit in judgment upon our.
selves. I must admit that information
now in my possession fully establishes
the fact that in one case,-a very Sc
we're one neutrality-suspicious. from
the Ukrainian Peoples army were the
perpetrators. 1t was not upon the
impulse of the Government, or upon
a military command that they slew
helpless people. 1t was not with knowl,
edge Of Simon Petlura but against his
strictest orders and against the pur-
pose Of the Ukrainian Peoples Re-
public.
There is some evidence Of old-fash-
toned provocation or Of criminal mis-
take or Of wilful disobedience on the
part Of a local commander, in several
others, fortunately ,ess disastrous,
cases. Just these cases, wherever the
name Of Ukrainian Peoples Republic
or Of Simon Petlura is involved, we
want to be investigated first Of all.
But, allow me to say, these are rath-
err exceptional cases.
The spirit Of Czarist Russia is be-
ing kept very much alive, not only
through the efforts Of Denikin, his
hackers, but by the dark forces hidden
throughout all territory Of former
Russian Empire, by rank and file OF
old Black Hundreds, by many Others.
It is the Russia of Infamous memory
against which the Ukrainian Peoples
Republic is fighting for deliverance.
II is also known that pogroms have
been carried out in Ukrainian terri
tory, occupied by Russian Bolshevist
marauders and by Soviet troops them
selves which are characterized by
great variety Of discipline and Of pur-
pose.
In Western Ukrainc-Galicia and q
part of volhynia,-Jews as well as
Ukrainians themselves have been per-
secuted and outraged and starved out
by invading Polish legions.
Finally, large parts Of Ukrainian
territory seem to be no mans land,
where various bandit gangs are prey
ing upon the people. They comprise
adventurers and brigands mostly

language and descent, the same as
lynching mobs in America consist Of

Ukrainian army fought its retreat bat
ties against advancing Bolshevist ar
mics. Since February ;he territory
controlled by the Ukrainian govern
ment has grown still smaller, includ-
ing only parts of Podolia and Volhy-
MIA, and by the end of winter the main
body of the Ukrainian army had been
forced to pass over the Galician border
Speaking Of pogroms, may I not in
sert that marauding soldier bands
who tried to continue their work in
Ukrainian Galicia have been put down
and executed by the Ukrainian peas
ants themselves.
The reconquest of Ukraine has be-
gun in summer, but sill Ukrainian
Peoples Republic is in power only in
Podolia, Volhynia and in the govern
ment Of Kiev, so far as the City Of
Kiev and the District Of Uman. In
this territory, I think l can say with
confidence, the dangers are now pass
ed and overcome.
The government Of the Ukraine Peo-
Piles Republic is willing to redress all
wrongs committed against the Jews
in Ukraine, even when these wrongs
have been committed by its worst enc
mics but it must decline any moral
responsibility for innocent blood, to
prevent shedding Of which it has done
its utmost.
But the question arises; has not the
Ukrainian government been criminally
negligent? II has not. The Director
ate-the present Republican govern
ment which has overthrown the Het-
man regime-immediately after hav-
ing assumed the power re-enacted the
national autonomy law, and called
upon the population Of Ukraine to re-
gard the Jews as friends and as allies
Of Ukrainian democracy. Proclama-
ton after proclamation against po-
groms and order after order against
evildoers have been issued. Millions
Of rubles in damages have been paid
and hundreds of murderers and provo
Gators have been executed There has
been no Ukrainian government with
out Jewish secretaries being in it.
Many Of them are well-known Jewish
labor leaders; all Of them are true
Jews in whose word the Jewish world
can have the utmost confidence.
deeply regret to say, the govern
ment did not succeed even in extermin-
ating all outlaw gangs. Some day it
it will be shown how they made their
narrow escapes. Many a cut-throat
found refuge by Kissing the flag Of
Bolshevism or the image Of Saint
Russia. l instance only the most no
torious cases Of Machno and Grigo-

ed by the punitive forces Of the Uk-
rainian government early in winter.
after they had made their first appear
ance in and around Ekaternoslav, but
they were rescued by the rapidly pro-
crossing Bolshevist advance. After
having supported the Bolshvists, Ma
chino Joined Denikin anc left Deniken
to establish himself again independ-
emily. While changing mis- allegiance,
he never stopped harassing Jews. The
unspeakable Grigoriew revolted
against the Ukrainian government
which tried to check his pogrom activ-
tiles, and went over to the Bolshevist
and was appointed Bolshevist COM
mander in South Ukraine. Then he
betrayed the Bolshevists and is now

Won Lersner. President Of the Ger
man peace delegation, 70 NJ. Glenn

have been made public.
Baron Won Lersner, writing on Fri

statement Of August % 70 The effect
than the allied and associated powers
had decided In ignore the date Of the
ratification Of the treaty IN dealing
with German prisoners, the -eparrIa-
ton Of whom was refused.
Won Lersners defends Ge-Tnanys

siuns in the case of the killing of
Sergeant Mannheim and IN the mai
ter Of the delivery nf coal by reason
of promised favorable treatment on
the question Of prisoners. be accuses
France Of making innocent prisoners
pay for pretended discrepancies on

and declares that the laws OF war
were applied 10 prisoners with pitt
less severity. 1e argued in q general
way that Germany has not refused 10
fulfil her obligations but has Only
pointed OUT the difficulty of doing 50.
Won Iersner does not take I'D the
matter of the sinking Of the German
warships in Scapa Flow. but leaves
.tlat for later communication
M Clemenceau begins his rs0iv BY
saving that Baron Won Lersners lei
ter contains a series Of statements
whose incessive tone cannot mask
their inaccuracy.
He declares the statement that
France on August 20 or At any other
time in connection with the murder
Of Mannheim or the delivery Of coal
promised the repatriation Of prison
e-s is absolutely without founGa-
ton"
The German government. according
~ NJ Clemenceau. is using the prls-
oner question TO eXorbr German
opinion against the allies, especially
France. He instances Germany
dilatorv tactics by the long debates
which are ensuing on the handing
over of persons accused Of breaking
the laws Of war, although Germany
admits that numerous crimes We're
committed. and asserts that Ger
many really is responsible for the re-
rentiun Of the prisoners, who are be-
ing treated not only humanely bur
