TUESDAY, AUGUST 14,
FATE OF OKRAINIA
DEPENDENT UPON
POESEOOffIENT
PETROGRAD, Aug. 14. —Leaders of
the Ukrainian quasi-secessionist move
ment, whicti involves the fate of south
and south west-Russia from Galicia to
■ the Caucasus with at least 20,000,000
- inhabitants, are the scholar and his
torian Professor Grushexski and the
novelist and poet Vinnichenko. Grus
hevski is the brain and'organizing tal
ent of the' secession. Vinnitchenko
furnishes the fire and inspiration.
Gruskevski, who is sixty-one years
virtually created the modern Uk
rainian cultural movement. For twen
ty-eight years he played towards the
Ukrain the role which Count Etienne
Szechenyi played in the rennaissance of
Hungary. Grushevski’s dominant aim
is the union of the Russian Ukraine
with the Ruthenian East Galicia, which
is inhabited by the same race. From
Lemberg where he taught as professor,
he extended his propagandist activities
•to Russia, founded the famous little
Russian “Literary and Scientific Re
view," issuing parallel editions in Lem
barg and Kieff; ond in hundreds ot
lectures, pamphlets and articles
preached Ukarinian union.
Grushevski is one of Europe’s most
learned men. He is a sober and cau
tious polemist; and his leadership is
invaluable in a movement which is
largely controlled by unrestrained en
thusiasts.
Such an enthusiast is Vinnitchenko.
Vlnnitchenko was born in 1880; began
his propagandist activities while still
a student at Kieff; and was expelled
from the University. Being called up
for army service—the autocracy’s us
ual punitive measure against revolu
tionary students —he fled abroad.
After that he began literary work
which made him famous throughout
the Ukraine and Russia. He develop
ed markedly individualist views, pro
claiming personal freedom to the
point of anarchy. His novel “Honesty'
With One’s Self” so shocked the read
ers of Grushexski’s review' that publi
cation had to discontinue. Vinnitch
enko’s views, the best-known of which
are set forth in “The Lie” and “The
Black Panther” express the same idea
—that a man’s first duty is “to become
himself.”
The revolution found Vinnitchenko
in Kieff. He abandoned literature; ag
itated so successfully that he was el
ected vice-president of the secession
ist Supreme Counsil; and started “The
Labor Gazette.” As orator, Vinnitch- (
enko is very effective, but he is ex
alted and careless about facts.

DOOMED DECLARES
5K NCIIIIIST
GENEVA, Aug. 14. —“The Hohenzol
lerns and the Hapsburgs must go in
order to have a durable peace in Eur
ope” declared Jean Sigg, member of the
Swiss National Council, chief of the
Socialists in Geneva and one of the
most influential members of his party
in Syitzerland, in an interview with
Tbe Associated Press correspondent.
“The hour of the Hohenzollerns and
the Hapsburgs has sounded,” he con
tinued. The tide of democracy which
is sweeping across Europe will also
sweep them away, not perhaps during
the war, but soon afterward. Millions
of men will not agree, will not allow in
future, that their destinies, their lives,
should be ruled' by a handful of auto
crats. In this sense this terrible war
has wrought good; it has opened the
eyes of the people. The Russian Emp
eror has gone, more Emperors will fol
low.”
Mr. Sigg has the greatest faith in
new Russia, if allowed to rebuild its
own regeneration without foreign, es
pecially German influence. He con
siders the Stockholm Conference more
or less a farce owing to the divergent
view’s of the socialistic delegates from
the different countries. He flouts the
work at Petrograd of Robert Grimm,
the Swiss Socialist who endeavored to
make peace between Germany and Rus
sia, who, he says, never represented
Swiss socialism and who acted like
Hoffman on his own authority without
consulting his colleagues.”
“German socialists, with few excep
tions,” said Mr. Sigg, have betrayed in
ternational socialism by following like
a flock of sheep in the foosteps of Ger
man Junkerism, but they are now be
ginning to awake from their false
dream.
Though, like all Swiss, I ardently
wish for peace, I don't see it in sight.
A peace treaty—l say this as a neutral
—would be all in the favor of Germany
a status quo ante. The Allies, backed
new by America, rightly will not per
mit this in the cause of justice and
humanity. The social questions after
the war will be difficult to solve —but
v’alt first until the war is finished.”
PATCHED UP THE CABLE
CUT BY THE GERMAN CRUISER
LONDON, Aug. 14—How the cable
staff at Fanning Island patched up the
cable which w r as cut by ’the men of
the German cruiser Nurnberg, is told
in the “Zodiac,” the organ of the East
ern and Associated Telegraph Com
pany, which says:
The resources of a coral island in
the Pacific are naturally slight, and
the Germans had thought to clinch the
matter by towing the severed ends of
the cable far apart. But they reckoned
without their hosts. Hugh Creig, a
member of the Fanning Island staff,
although entirely lacking experience,
ir handling or repairing cables, un-|
dertook the temporary repair of the
Fanning-Suva Cable.
“As there was no grapnel, he used
an ordinary pickaxe. By this means
and also by dividing and working un
der the sea to secure the cable ends
with ropes he managed to raise them
to the surface. But they were still far
apart, there was no possibility of
bringing them together and no spare
cable was available, to fill the gap.
“He improvised rafts made with
planks and ordinary barrels and with
the cable ends securely fastened to
these made a connection between them
with ordinary covered wire. It was
across these rafts that Fanning spoke
again to Suva transmitting the urg
ently awaited information of her re
quirements for complete repair.”
"TYPOS” 111 BEST
CONDITION SINCE
UNION WAS FORMED
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 14.'
A prosperous organization with its
“house in order” and ready to expand
the work it already has started in con
nection with the war activities of its'
r tembers, was pictured by Marsden G. 1
Scott of New Y’ork, president of the
International Typographical Union in
the address with which he opened here
yesterday the sixty-third annual con- '
vention of the organization. He said
that nearly 600 members of the union'
had enlisted with the Canadian forces,
that more than 400 already are in the
army or navy of the United States and
that “thousands of others will follow:
the Stars and Stripes in the world’s'
war.”
Forty-two Canadian members of the 1
organization have been killed in
France and $12,225 has been paid to'
their widows or dependents. Mr. Scott
added. He announced that the “two
representative organizations of employ-j
ers in the printing industry—the
American Newspaper Publishers’ As- 1
sociation and the United Typothetae'
and Franklin Clubs of America—have '
recommended that all journeymen and
•apprentices be reinstated in their po-1
pitions when they return from the
war.”
President Scott said that through its
executive council the International
union had subscribed for $50,000 of
I the Liberty Loan bonds and that sub- ■
(scriptions for additional $57,950 had
i been reported by subordinate unions.
He emphasized the fact that of $66.-
652,431 earned by members of the union
| had subscribed for $50,000 of the Lib-
I erty Loan bonds and that subscriptions!
I for an additional $57,950 had been re-
I ported by subordinate unions.
He emphasized the fact that of $66,-
652,431 earned by members of the
union in the fiscal year ending May’ 31,
only $4,684 had been expended by the[
International Union because of strikes |
or lockouts. He said the gross earn-'
ings of union printers had increased (
$3,940,626 in that period, the average j
earnings a member being $1,086.43, an (
increase of $45.25 as compared with the
preceding twelve months.
President Scott also announced the
completion of an arbitration agreement
between the International union and I
the “closed shop division of the United (
Typothetae and Franklin Clubs of
America, effective Aug. 4, 1917, to Dec. I
31, 1926.” Arbitration contracts, he >
said, have been issued to 191 news
paper publishers under the new inter
national agreement with the American'
Newspaper Publishers’ Association, es-j
fective May’ 1, 1917, to May 1, 1922. I
The total payments to 1,509 old age!
pensioners for the fiscal year were
given as $351,505. Mortuary benefits
totalled $298,476. The Union Printers (
Home in this city cost $123,146 to
maintain and its capacity was increas
ed accomodations being provided for
250 residents. The twenty-fifth an-”
niversary of the home is to be celebrat
ed Wednesday.
Opposition to a constitutional amend
ment proposed by Chicago Typograph
ican Union No. 16 which promises to
cause sharp debate in the convention'
was expressed by Mr. Scott. He said.
it was “conceived in malice” and “in
tended to reflect discredit” on the offic
ers of the international body. It would
limit the powers of the general offic
ers and subordinate unions in making
contracts and compel a referendum on
agreements with national associations •
ot employers. j
The address also indicated that rela-;
tions of the union with the American
Federation of w’ere not altogeth
er happy because, he declared, the
“obligations which the officers and sub
ordinate organizations of the A. F. of
L., owe to this International Union
have been disregarded in many in
stances.” He added:
“The laws of the American Federa
tion of Labor have been grossly violat
ed repeatedly, and there is no assur-i
ance that any official attempt will be,
made to prevent a repetition of these |
illegal acts. Unless we are prepared ■
to accept the consequences of these.
illegal acts, we must repudiate them;
promptly and without reservation."

MB KILLED
DURING BUNK RAID
azar, revolutionary leader and former
chief of Villa’s staff, was shot and
i killed at a Nogales ranch, near Ascen
sion Thursday. Americans arriving to-
■ day from Casas Grandes said Salazar
• was killed by a band of home guards
I organized to protect Casas Grandes and
the Ascension district.
1 ! Salazar has been one of the striking
figures of the Mexican erovlutionary
1 activities since the beginning of the
Madero revolution in 1911. He was
' credited with starting the revolution
asainst Madero together with Emilio
Campa, a physician from St. Louis,
Mo., who also had strong socialist
■ ideas he wanted to apply to the Mexi
-1 con situation. In February, 1912, Sal
azar and Campa occupied Juarez un-
I der the red flag of the second revolu
tion. This banner gave the new move-
! ment its name of “Red Flaggers.”
Pascua! Orozco, Madero’s former
commander in chief, joined Salazar,
and the campaign against the Madero
followed. Salazar led his
> troops in the battle of Rollano when
, the federals were defeated, captured
Parral, and later made his campaign
, through the Mormon settlements of
, western Chihuahua during which many
'of the colonies were burned and the
Mormon settlers driven to the border.
When General Huerta seized the con
trol of affairs in Mexico City and de
| dared himself dictator, Salazar and
Orozco joined the Huerta army. They
1 fought at the battle of Ojinaga against
Villa’s forces in January, 1914, and
I Salazar escaped when the Huerta army
fled across the border. He was cap
tured and taken to New Mexico to an
swer a charge of violating the Ameri
can neutrality laws. Eventually he
. was acquitted and again took the field
east of Juarez, failed and surrendered
' to the Carranza officials in Chihuahua
City, was given amnesty, but later ar
rested on a charge of fomenting a rev
olutionary movement.
I When Villa attacked Chihuahua City
' on the eve of September 16, 1916, one
of his first acts was to throw open
J tbe penitentiary and liberate the pris-
I oners. Salazar was among these pris-
■ oners and he joined Villa’s forces and
was made chief of Villa's staff. Prior
1 to this time he and Villa had been bit
ter enemies. Salazar participated in
the second attack on Chihuahua City
,'on November 27.
Later Salazar with a small force
■appeared on the border southeast ot
Juarez, raided American mines, killed
I American owned cattle and raided
Ranches. Afterw’ard he offered to sur
render if given amnesty. With him
was the remnant of his command, 70
ragged, half-starved Mexicans mount
]ed on burros and cow ponies. Salazar (
expressed his desire to reunite his
' family and live on his ranch in Mexico.
KARELIAN CULTURAL SOCIETY

HELSINFORS, Finland, Aug. 14.
.The Karelian Cultural Society has de
clared for Home Rule for the Karelian
| provinces of Finland, which lie in the
east and north. The Karelians speak
'a dialect differing from that of the
Tavasts who occupy the rest of the
Grand Duchy. The two allied races
'were formerly enemies; but in late
years a common sentiment as Finns
'has united them. The Karelians de

ITILIIIJEIOEB
ROME, Italy, Aug. 14.—The fashion
able crowd at the case on the Corso
Umberto were gazing up at the huge
screen on the building opposite, where
pictures of the celebrities of the day
—Cordcna, Sonnino, Joffre, Wilson,
Lloyd-George—were being thrown on
the screen. It is the chief diversion
these hot afternoons. Joffre was pop
ular and Dilson had his admirers. Then
came the picture of a man with a great
beard. This caused tremendous
laughter. But the very climax of de
monstrative approval came when the
picture of a thin-faced man with a
workman’s cap on his head was thrown
on the screen. There was a huge ova
tion for this strange face.
“And who is the man with the
bear?” asked the American visitor.
“Why that is Maffle. Is it possible
you don’t know Maffle."
“And w’ho is the man in the work
man’s cap ”
“That is the carpenter, Tordelii. You
don’t mean to say you haven’t heard
ot Tordelii. They are the great Ital
ian characters of the day.”
Maffle is a member of the Italian
Chamber of Deputies who made a
speech in favor of peace, saying it w r as
really not to Italy’s interest to carry
on the war. Tordelii was for the war,
and felt that the peace speech must be
rebuked. He accordingly waylaid
Maffle on the tramway as he came
from the Chamber. Maffle had an
enormous beard which was his pride
and best known characteristic. As
Maffle stepped on the open, Tordello
deftly operated a pair of scissors be
fore the surprised deputy knew what
w’as happening. Then with a shock
of beard in this hand Tordelii disap
peared while Maffle was left beard
less.
Tordell was arrested and his trial
soon began. All Rome became inter
ested, the question of peace and war
divided sentiment into two camps. He
produced the beard at the trial, and it
was duly entered by the court as an
exhibit. Thereupon Maffle applied for
the return of the beard, but the court
held it had been separated from him
and was now in possession of the state.
Tordelii suddenly became a popular
hero, as defender of the war, while
Maffle had champions for his cause
and his beard. Their pictures are the
features of all screens.
