UKRAINIANS AND
 POLES FIGHTING
There Is Hope However, That An Arnistice May
 Be Arranged.

Lemburg, March 6-AIthouEh fight ing Is still going on here between the Poles and Ukrainians, with the latter bonbarding the city, there is still hope that an armisice may be arranged between the contending forces. It is believed, however, that before a truce is established there will be more severe fighting.
 The renewed bombardment of the city has been attended by consld- erabIe loss of life among civilians and damage to public buildings and works of art. The people move about the city freely during the day, but the artillery fire Is very heavy at night. An average of 200 shells fall in the city daily, most of them being aimed at the railroad station. Some pro- jectiIes, however, have fallen in resi- dential sections and two have struck the residence of Archbishop Ship tusl5y, a noted Ukrainian patriot. Small shells have also struck the Ru- thentan church and others have dam aged the home of Count Pininsky, which s famous for it's art gallery.
 Colonel Smyth of the British army, who is still here, has been empower ed by the Inter-Alied mission to make a report on the situation. The Trkrainians are said to feel that they have been treated unfairly by the mission and that their claims are misunderstood, particularly by the French. They say the mission spent only an hour with Ukrain1an leaders and spoke briefly, through an inter preter, with a delegation of ten Ukrainians which came from Kiev to outline the claims of the republic.
 The political and military situation at Kiev is said to be uncertain. Pet lura is still at WinnitZa and 1t Is re- ported that the city of Kiev is dom- mated by M. Rakowski, premier of the Ukrainian Soviet ministry, with whom Is associated NJ. PietakoT. of Moscow, q Bolshevik whose father was a millionaire merchant.
