LIFE OF GENERAL SIMON PETLURA A Sketch of His His Colorful Life and His Tragic Death ( By Michael Petriwsky) Paris court is now the scene of a very dramatic political trial France has seen in several years. It is a trial of Samuel Schwartzbar, a Rus- sian Jew, who claims to be a French citizen and soldier, an avowed Com- munist, who over a year ago fired five shots at General Simon Pet- lura on a street in Paris, hinv instantly. General Petlura was a former President of the Ukrainian Republie, and a leader of anti-Soviet move- ments, therefore his assassination created a profound stir in Europe. The assassin for his motive gave the sympathy for the mistreatment of Jews during Petlura's rule. The prosecution is trying to prove Sch- * sassinated Petlura on orders from Moscow, not hecause of his sym- pathy for other Jews. There was a standing reward worth a king's -ansom for the life or death of Pet- lura, the greatest opponent of the Red rule. The present trial may he sensa- tional and dramatif it may pro- voke much sympathy for the man whose life hangs on the balances of Justice, yet this dramatic figure of Jewish avenger pales into insignifi- cance when compared to that pathe- tie and very tragic figure of Pet- lura produced by great upheaval in the former Russian Empire, For, Petlura's fate is the fate of Mazep- pa, his death is that of Caesar--- the death of irony. It was a clos ing act of a great national hero- wn end to a national struggle. The name of Petlura was very popular as well as powerful among the Ukrainians abroad and here, I! stood for them as a symbol of in- dependence of their nation. He was a friend of the people, particularly he peasants, who worshipped him and made him almost a legendary figure. His army loved him and stood with him to the last. For Soviet Russia, Petlura's name stood as a synonym of' its greatest foe, hecause he was the scurge of the Red army, the only man with in- fluence over the peasants; man who could raise a hundred thousands army in a ma vie-like man- ner--within a few days He was 'he man who moved the peasants in revolt against the German cupation of Ukraine, as the result of Bresk-Litovsk treaty and destroy- .d the better half of its forces. In- deed, Petlura stood oyer the uvaw, of Red rulers like a Damoclean sword and Ukrainiaps express their conviction that the assassin had a different motive for killing Petlur: than that "to avenge for the mis- rule of Jews," because a big prize { was set on the head of Petlura by the Soviet Government. His life in brief may be thus recorded: Gen. Petlura was born in 1880, of a well-to-do Cossack family n=zy Poltava, Ukraine. Like most of tho youths of Russia he took part in the revolutionary movement. For his setivities he was expelled from a Theological Seminary in his senior year He fled to Lemberg, and for a time studied in the local univer- sity. In 1905 when the first Rus- sian revolution broke out, he return- ed to Kiev and took part in the strife. Revolution, howeve#, failed and reaction followed forcing him to seek refuge in Petrograd, the capitol, where persecutions were not so severe. There he worked in an insurance company. on, however, he came to Moscow. to work in 2 Ukrainian newspaper printed in Russian, of which he soon became the editor. This was a long period of his career as a journalist and a writer making his name prominent in all Russia. During the Great War, he was in the army serving as an inspector on the Western Rus- sian front. In 1917 when revolu- tion broke out in Russia, Petlura began to organize Nationalist regi- ments of Ukrainians, serving in Russian armies. That same year he uv' All-Ukrainian Army and Navy Con- gress. In that great body of six hundred delegates representing five million soldiers, Petlura was ap- pointed commander-in-chief. Simul- taneously the newly formed govern- ment of Central Rada appointed him Secretary of War. He held his | office till 1918 when he resigned | and left for his native Poltava. Like a prophet he saw a great men- ace threatening his country from the North. It took him a Iltitle |time to form a considerably large army of peasants and soldiers to meet the Red avalanche.

The Dominion Government will inaugurate the sitting after which the provinces will confer with leach other and their representa- tions will be later the subject of a joint conference. Figuring in the agenda are a standoing and others more recent, Pérhaps the subject of most. com- mon interest is the revision of Do- minion subsidies to the provinces. No doubt the latter will seek ad- ditional assistance but the Domin- fon Government will point out that the demands upon the Federal treasury have been enormously in- creased since confederation the re- jon and the provinces were defin- ed. It will be emphasized by the Dominion that expenses arising out ot the war including added debt and interest, pensions, etc., are borne exclusively by the Dominjon. Apart from subsidies, other ques- tions to come up include the St. Lawrence navigation and power scheme along with similar propos- als of lesser magnitude of Federal and provincial jurisdiction in re- spect to company law; old age pen- sions and rural credits and pro- vincial co-operation to bring the authorized systems into general ef- feet; return of western resources; taxation of railways and a variety of smaller matters. The conference will last ahout ten days.
