UKRAINIANS UNDER THE HEEL OF WAR Populous Race ol Europe Ground Between Military Millstones ‘When President Wilson signed the proclamation setting aalde the 21st of April as a Ukrainian tag day, he was taking an additional step in one of the most interesting concomitant proces- ses of the great European war. This interesting: process is the gradual awakening of the American people to &' more intensive knowledge of Euro pean geography, and the important additional bit which President Wil- son's act now adds in this fleld is an opportunity to learn something about the great Ukralnians race in Bastern Europe, By their sufferings alone, if not by their important political history, the Ukrainians would deserve the atten- tion of ‘the cultured and intelligent circles in ‘all parts of the globe; and their sufferings in the present war have exceeded those of any other large body of people in Europe it is claimed. For Galicla and the adja- cent sections of Russia and Hungary are all within the so-called Ukrainian territory, and no pcrtion of Europe has been the scene of more militiry movement in the last three years as Just this portion of the theater of war. To be sure, on the western front, military operations have been far more oconcentrated than elsewhere in Europe, but it must be recalled that, in view of the narrow strip of terri- tory subjected to the horrors of war for very long periods, the total de- struction is, after all, comparatively small. Poland has suffered more in- tensely, for hostile armies have twice flooded over all her area, yet even there, as compared with the Ukratne, the sufferings of the inhabitants were less severe, for the motion of the op- posing armies had, in both cases in Poland, the character of a rapid flight and a rapid pursuit, and the resources of the country were therefore not sub- Jected, in the course of military oper- ations to a complete drain. Four Armies Retreat Over Land. But East Galicia and the contigu- ous areas saw four great armies re- treat slowly across their flelds, each time in an opposite direction from the preceding retreat, and each time fol- lowed up by an enemy doggedly, per- tinaciously, savagely forcing his- foe to yield up inch by 'inch of the land he' had oceupied- In the course of these movements Ukrainians had. to, flce westward into other provinces of Austria-Hungary, while hundreds of thousands of others. were dragged off into unwilling captivity in Russia, many as far as Siberia, where count- less thousands perished through Lunger and epidemic. It is to be hoped that one of the first acts of the new revolutibnary goveriment in Russia will be to liberate these unfortunates. But Galicid is ruined, perhaps never to recover. The money loss runs inito thousands of millions. The people still in their homes have nothing to eat. Hundreds of villages have been wiped out. The land can be com- pared, for bareness and devastation, only with the “No-man’s land” be- tween lines of hostile trenches on the western front, or with the sad area that has been left behind, in the wake of the retreating German army in northern France. The Ukrainians live in a compact, unbroken éountry, larger in area than any other European state, Rus- sia alone excepted. This country ex- tends 828,185 ‘square miles, and is therefore one and one-half times as large as the present German empire. It comprises practically the whole of the famous Black Soil one. It abounds in coal, iron and oil, and is the granary of Europe. Its territory is included between the Carpathian mountains in the West, and the River Don and the Caucasus mountains in the East; between the northern tri- butaries of the Dnieper and the Black and Azof seas. Once Leading Republic. The Ukraine, once the first republic in Eastern Europe, has been divided between her neighbors. Russia holds the larger part, with some twenty- eight millions Ukrainians: the Rus- siang call the country Malorossiya or “Little Russia,”” and its people “Little Russians.” Austria-Hungary holds a much smaller number, three and one- half million in Eastern Galicla, 400,- 000 in Bukovina, and 500,000 in the sub-Carpathian districts of Hungary. Besides, there are a half million Ukrainians in the United States, 200,- 000 in Canada, and 60,000 in Brazil. A grand total of all the Ukrainians on earth in 1910 would read thirty- four and one-half million, of which 32,700,000 Mve in compactly Ukrainian territory. The Ukrainians must there- fore be considered as numerically the sixth race in Europe, the five above them being, in order, the Russians, | Germans, English, French and Ital- | 1ans. The Ukrainians constitute a Slavonic nation that is just as clearly and sharply defined as are the Poles, the Russians, the Czechs, or the Bul- garians. Their historic roots extend as far % back into the middle ages as do those | m:vhn.ehm’.uhn:tt.mmrmh spot.

But, while the evolution of these great European nations has been a steady and uninterrupted process, the Ukrainian people, by reason of their location on the very threshold of Asia, were retarded in their develop- ment, their growth being finally al- most absolutely stopped. The ancient Ukrainian state of Kieff was destroyed in the 13th century by Mongolian ‘hordes, after which (about 1,400) the land, in a horribly devastated condi- tion, came under Lithuanian rule, and Jater under that of the Poles, but neither was strong enough to defend the Ukraine against the continued raids of the Tartars. These extended over a period of more than five cen- turies, thus stunting absolutely the growth of the Ukrainian people.. It was an instinct for self-preservation that led this race, at this darkest stage of its history, to ‘organize the army of Ukrainian cossacks. They carried on victorious wars against their enemies and made possible the formation of a new Ukrainian repub- jc under Bohdan Chmelnitzky in the year 1648, By-tho ireaty: of Pere- yaslav in 1654, the Ukrainian Re- public was united as a vassal state with Russia. But the Ukrainian au- tonomy and the Cossack organization were abolished and the Ukrainians lost their independence. The Austro-Hungarian rule in the Ukraine, in its smaller part (Eastern Galicia, Northern Hungary, and West- ern Bukovina);, dates from 1772, or from the first partition of Poland. Although the Ukraine has been stagnant under both these govern- ments, it has remained one of the world’s racial units. Immigration to America Begins. The first Ukrainians immigrants came to this country about forty years ago. Many of them came here to better their economic conditions; many of them were fleeing from re- ligious and political persecution. This tide of Iimmigration has immensely increased in recent years, and con- tinued until the present war began. At present there are half a million Ukrainians in the United States, and 200,000 in Canada. In Canada they are mostly farmers, having ‘settled-in great wheat-producing = provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta In the United States they are labor- ‘ers, miners, farmers, skilled work- men and business men. Conditions in America from the very beginning favored the development of the Ukrai- nian immigrant. The man that seem- ed doomed to eternal ~dependence, under the oppressive circumstances in the old country, had a chance here in America. As is usually the case with Slavonic immigrants, the Ukrai- nians settled in large colonies in dif- ferent industrial centers. Having pro- vided homes for their families, their next endeavor was to provide for their spiritual needs, and on this &nd they ‘never spared -money and sacri- ficial and educational organizations were founded, economical co-operative institutions were started, as well as o number of Ukrainian periodicals. The Ukrainians are very much in- terested in all these institutions, and it Is considered a national duty to be | a member of at least one of them. Usually parochial schools were or- ganized in the churches, for the pur- pose-- of teaching the children the [ degeiticn 2 o HARTFORD Important Mark Doy of Spring Millinery DRESS HATS—SPORT HATS —MOTOR HATS—HATS FOR .
