UKRAINE AND
POLAND KEYS
TO RUSSIA
VIENNA, May 15 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—That Po
land and the Ukraine are the keys to
Russia is the conviction of The Asso
ciated Press correspondent who has
just traveled over those two countries
and interviewed dojens ofthe highest
officers, officials and citizens.
There has been more talk than ac
tion concerning Poland as a barrier to
Bolshevism but there has been not
only no talk but some unfavorable ac
tion regarding the Ukraine which
country apparently is almost unknown
to a majority of the people in the
entente countries. The Ukraine has
been visited in a casual manner by
strolling officers and missions. A
single American officer who attempted
to visit Kiev, capital of the Russian
Ukraine, was prevented by the French
at Odessa, according to the statement
made to the Associated Press by Gen
eral Petlura at his railway car capital
on a siding at Proskurov.
There is plenty of food in the
Ukraine but Bolshevism obtained the'
upper hand there owing to use of
money from Moscow, agitation and
the buying of troops which otherwise
would have been faithful. What is
now important is that it should be
understood that there really is a na
tional movement in the Ukraine, and
that this movement with a little help,
allied recognition and moral support,
would manfully continue the struggle
■ against the Moscow invaders and aid
in preventing the invasion of Rumauia,
thus closing the Bolshevik corridor
to Budanest.
The pathetic part of the whole busi
ness is that the Poles and others who
it is felt here should be cooperating
with the Ukranians spend their time
in describing the Ukrainians as led
by a group of adventurers, particularly
with regard to the Ukrainian claim to
the old fields of Galicia. The version
told to the Associated Press corres
pondent by an American oilman who
has spent 25 years in these countries
is that the Polish refinery owners,
backed up by Austrian capital, first
attempted to seize the oil fields and
this led up to an attempt by the West
Ukrainians or Ruthenians to hold
these fields and to take Lemberg.
The Associated Press correspondent
apparently was the first person from
the outside to visit the Ukraine seek
ing unbiased information. The people
who occupy what they term West
Ukraine, the old East Austrian Galic
ian province, certainly are not led by
adventurers. For the most part they
are poor which is possibly due to lack
of enterprise in the former Russian
empire. They are also unlettered.
They would be far poorer if the oil
fields were lost to them. But they
have the spirit of their race and desire
to be their own masters like the Poles
and the Czechs. The latter have under
stood this fact.
Neither are the people of Russian
or Greater Ukraine political adven
tures. They are related by race with
those of old Eastern Galicia at least
as far eastward as Poltava. Soon as
the correspondent passed from Lem
berg into the Ukranian army it was
apparent that these men were a dif
ferent race from the Poles; possibly
less cultured but vigorous, healthy
minded men determined to hold their
soil. As the correspondent went east
ward he found mofle Russian types and
manners but many of the peopl9 of the
Greater Ukraine are as different from
those of Greater Russia as daylight is
from darkness. This is particularly
true of the soldiers who came from
the Poltava districts. They are manly,
intelligent, good fighters, kind-hearted,
open-handed and keenly aware of the
wealth and possibilities of their new
country and its wonderful black soil
whichJias given the Ukraine the proud
name of “Europe’s granary.”

WOMAN WRITER
OF AMERICA
IN NEW ROLE
NEW YORK, June 10 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Miss Julie Heyneman
of San Francisco, portrait painter and
writer, arrived here the other day on
a four months’ leave of absence from
the British Red Cross, with a new dis
tinction for an American woman, that
of being the originator of a system
of vocational training for wounded
soldiers by means of which thousands
of British, Belgian, French and Amer
ican fighters, crippled apparently be
yond repair, have been restored to
lives of happiness and usefulness.
Before returning to England, Miss
Heyneman will make a transcontin
ental tour of America, speaking before
various women’s clubs, Red Cross and
Belgian war relief organizations on
her work abroad. Her itinerary at
present includes Philadelphia, Chi
cago, Washington, Baltimore, Boston,
San Francisco, Pittsburgh, St. Louis
and Denver.
This little American woman, who
landed in England on the day Antwerp
fell to the Germans, found herself in
a whirl of war terror and confusion.
Belgian civilian refugees, old and
young, penniless and despairing, and
Belgian soldiers, terribly wounded,
were arriving in London by trainloads.
She established in London, after much
difficulty, an institution which she
named “California House,” after her
native state, where the disabled de
fenders of Namur and Liege and other
Belgian strongholds, were nursed back
to health and strength and taught lan
guages or vocations that fitted them
to earn their own living.
So successful was ihis adventure in
war philanthropy that the British Red
Cross two years later enlisted Miss
Heyneman’s services, took over her
institution and established three sim
ilar big homes in London known as
“Kitchener Houses” No. 1, 2 and 3.
The California woman was aided in
her work by other Americans who sus
tained the enterprise by voluntary do
nations. Everything was supplied free
to the soldiers and in three years
more than 60,000 meals were given
them.
The grateful Belgians, desirous of
perpetuating the work for fellow war
sufferers in their native land, be
sought Miss Heyneman to establish a
similar reconstruction centre there
and to this end she visited Queen Eli
zabeth at La Panne and was assured
her sympathy and support. The queen
of the Belgians, upon request, desig
nated the Edith Cavell School for
Nurses in Brussels as the institution
likely to benefit most by the expan
sion such as Miss Heyneman pro
posed, that of establishing at least 25
beds and entailing an outlay of $5,000
each. One of the founders of the
school named for the martyred British
nurse was Mms. Marie Depage, a Bel
gian woman, who perished on the Lusi
tania. According to the plan each bed
is to be dedicated to the memory of
some fallen American soldier and al
ready the mothers of two officers have
indicated their desire thus to honor
the memory of their heroic dead. After
her tour in the United States Miss
Heyneman intends to return to Bel
gium to put her plan into effect.
(IT I* nvr A f rtil « n ntfl A
I* “ “O-- """ —
half years of the nightmare of war,”
said Miss Heyneman. "I never would
have believed until I got into this
work that I ever could have done it.
It has been a severe but beneficial ex
perience. Of the 600 men who have
passed through the California House,
once practically helpless cripples, 90
per cent have been fed and cared for
and made self-supporting. The British
Red Cross, as the result of our iniatory
efforts, is now similiarly re-educating
and training 6,000 wounded soldiers a
year, in the Kitchener Houses and we
believe that, ultimately the British
war office will put the work upon a
permanent basis.”
Miss Heyneman said she was a
member of the executive committee of
vocational training for England of
which Major General Fielding, of the
British army, commander of the Lon
don district, is chairman.
ALLIGATORS GIVE WAY
TO RETURNED SOLDIERS

Press).—Old Don Porfirio and his
