THE UKRAINE PEACE.
ARTIFICIAL EXPEDIENT. AM ENRAGED POLAND. LONDON, February 20. The ' Daily Chronicle's' Amsterdam correspondent says that the signing of the Ukrainian ipeoce is already the subject of a film, and the scene is now showing in the German cinema theatres. ' Vorwaerts ' declares that the treaty is a mere scrap of paper, and can oidv he made effective when signed again "with German blood. The separation of North Russia from the Ukraine is merely momentary; they cannot be kept separate by foreign bayonets. The ' Morning Post' dispatch from Berne says that Polish indignation is intense at the establishment of a great Ukraine in the south and a great Lithuania in the north, both at Poland's expense. The Germans anticipated this, and probably hope that Polish indignation will eventually develop into open hostility, because the German command would bo glad of- an opportunity of rectifying Germany's eastern frontier by annexing desirable strips of Russian Poland. The creation of an independent Polish kingdom would then be abandoned.
