A CITY OF THE DEAD.
POLISH OCCUPATION OF KIEV. WARSAW, May 17. Kiev shows melancholy signs of the Bolshevik occupation, and it is a dead city. Us factories are silent and decaying, its shops shut' and smashed, its university deserted, and its water supply and station wrecked. Everywhere are filth and disorder. The Bolsheviks left many wounded, shot down by their own machine guns. The Polish advance along the Dnieper was strongly resisted only at two points, onp where a Chinese regiment held its position to the last man, the otheT where several armoured cars manned by Germans, fought a way through alter they had been cut off. The Russian regiments broke under the first shock, and surrendered when outmanceuvred.—("Times.")
