PROHIBITION COM
ING IN POLAND

Warsaw. Feb. a11.-The "wets'
and "drys's are having a hot con-
flict over proposals to restrict the
use of intoXicants in Poland. The
movement for more rigid control
over the use of liquor is becoming
more active. Newspapers are full
of discussions of the question and
there are numerous lectures on al
coholism while moving pictures are
shown to promote the reform
movement.
The example Of America is con-
tinuously cited with heated argu-
ments as to whether prohibition is
effective in that country.
The ..drys' advocate a resula-
ton cutting down the number of
places where liquor is sold by re-
stricting them to one for over q
500 Of population. Another pro-
posal would abolish all places
where liquor alone is sold but grant
permits to cafes and restaurants.
a steady dry movement has
been going on for some time in the
national parliament and the debates
there have lately been made more
heated by enforcement of an Or
dinance establishing a dry Sunday
in Warsaw. 1t forbids the sale of
liquors from Saturday noon to Mon
day noon and is being enforced by
the Warsaw police with an iron
hand, despite the protests Of cafe
and restaurant proprletors.
One of the active figures in the
campaign is General Josep 2Hafler.
president Of te Polish Red Cross
and Polish Boy Scouts, whoforgan-
zed and commanded the. famous
Haller army in which thousands
of American volunteers Of. Polish
blood fought in 1917 and 1918.

REP,UBLICOF
UKRAINIA
Claims to Be Independent Of
Soviet Russia

Moscow, FEB. 6.-The Ukraine
has scored a diplomatic victory over
the Russian Soviet government
which made it necessary for the
American Relief Administrator to
sign separate agreement with the
Ukraine before it could legally
open food draft warehouses and
general relief work in that southern
republic.
American workers were distribut-
ing food packages at Kiev, Odessa
and Kharkov for some time with
out any agreement other than that
entered into with the Moscow gov
ernment
The Ukraine insisted that it was
an independent republic. fully COM
petent to conduct relations with
foreign powers and entitled to be
dealt with as an autonomous nation
wholly free from Moscow control.
President Rakovsky, of Ukrainia,
recently conferred in Moscow with
American Relief Administration Of
ficials and made his position clear.
The Ukraine wanted food pack
ages and relief from America but
it wanted to sign agreements with
the Americans just as the Moscow
government did. Furthermore it
wants to negotiate with Americans
for a loan to relieve its economic
distress.
AS the American Relief Admin
iStration is in no sense a diplo-
matte or official organization, its
signature of a separate agreement
with the Ukraine was not regard
ed as an official recognition Of the
Ukrainian government, although
there seems to be a general i'm
preston in Russia that the Ameri-
can relief organization is the. fore
runner Of diplomatic relations.
The Ukraine seems to be to the
Soviet federated republic of Russia
what Bavaria is to the German re-
public and there is the same deli
cacy in Moscow about handling the
Ukraine that Berlin shows in deal
ing with the Munich government.
Ukrainia is the granary of Euro
pean Russia, just as Bavaria is the
granary of the German federation.
The Ukraine has two very flirta-
tious neighbors in Poland and Ru-
mania. 1t also has valuable assets
in Odessa, Nikolaeff and other ice
free ports.
All in all Moscow is facing many
Of the interesting problems in fed

Frenchman Praises American Ar

Paris. Feb. 12.-The praises Of
American architects, whose work
he describes as d new art in the

by George Wybo. young French
architect, in the columns Of the
Intransigeant.
The old skyscrapers Of New York
he says, are not always the hap

ception," but the newer office
buildings erected within the last ten
or 3 years are described as i'm
peccable in execution, well proper
toned. possessing harmonious lines,
with decorative elements of sober
taste, constructed Of splendid ma
terials finely fashioned
The sight OF these buildings
causes the Frenchman to recognize
the existence Of a new art ''in the

capable of making us feel strong
emotions similar to those awaken
ed within us by the power and
splendor of our cathedrals and GER
