“'ARSAW. April 28.——A general ad—
\'nn(c by Polish forces along a lS‘l-miie
from ill”) the l‘kraine was announced
in today's communique by the Polish
General Staff. The monument it is set
forth. is for the expulsion of the "for-
eign invaders" (Russian Bolslievikil.
The Poles covered about fifty mills
on the first day of their forward move,
ment. their advanced line taking them
within 6‘0 mile: of Kiev.
The advance was explained in a pro.
clamalion issued in the name of Gener-
al Pilsudski. the head of the Poli~h
state, and posted in the cities and vii-
lages through which the Polish forces
marched. The document announced
that after the expulsion of the foreign
elements. the Poles would remain in
the Ukraine Only until an aillhorlzed
Ukranian government should take con.
trol.
The proclamation. dated April 26.
we printed in Warsaw and then rush-
ed to the. front. Thousands of copies
were taken by the Poles for distributi-
on within the newly occupied territory.
One section of the proclamation
reads:
“'i‘ozcther with the Poles there are
returninsr to the l'krainc its heroic
sons under Simon I‘etlura. who have
found refuse within Poland and hclped
in the darkest days for the Ukranians."
The document expresses the hope
that the l‘kranians will concentrate
their forces to aid in attaining their
freedom. which also will be of aid to
Polnud. Protection is guaranteed to
all the inhahiktants. who are asked to
bear patiently the. burdens of the war. .
The important towns occupied by the
Poles on the first day of their move
ment included Owcrucz, Jitomir,‘ and
Berditchev. and further south, \anit-
za and Smyerynka.
