Campaign For Posses sion of City TempOrar- fly Successful BOl- shevik Brought in Russian Marines and Chinese Troops.

London, May 8-Polish and Ukrainian troops captured Kiev on Thursday night, ac- cording to an official state ment issued at Moscow yester- day and received here by wire less.
 The text of the statement says:
 "1n the Kiev region during the night of May 6-7 our troops engaged superior enemy forces northwest and southwest of Kiev. Toward evening the enemy broke into the outskirts of the town but were held up by our counter attacks. Later our troops. in accordance with orders started to withdraw in orvier to the left bank of the Dnieper river.
 ''In the direction of Pytaloff our troops repulsed an enemy advance 20 miles south of Krasny. In the direc- ton of Igumen (east of Minsk) the enemy attempted to cross the Beres- ina river near Beresina village but was driven back across the river"
 Reports that Kiev had fallen were current in Warsaw on Monday of this week but subsequent developments ts showed these reports to have been erroneous. Today's advices from the Soviet side, however, seem to leave no room for doubt that the Polish cam paign for possession of the city has been at least temporarily successful.
 The latest advices from Warsaw on the Kiev aTnpaign are two days old, the news received this morning having been filed on the Polish capital al a:3O p. m. on Thursday. The reports available in Warsaw at that time in- dicated that the fight for the ap- breaches to the city was still in pro- gress during the day, Thursday.
 Kiev, a city of 25o,o00 or more population before the war, is the cap- ital of the Ukraine. The town has changed hands several times during the fighting between contending groups in Ukrafnian territory and the conflict between the Denikine forces
