Ukrainian, Slovak Anger

Vienna, Nov. 2.

The arbitrators' final deere raised violent protests among the Ukrainians and Slovaks whose delegation left fur Bratislava immediately. From Bratislava they sent a telegram of protest.

The Ukrainians also published a special declaration signed by M. Housar, Secretary of the Ukrainian delegation, saying, "The Carpatho-Ukrainian delegation took note with ihe bitterest feeling of the sentence of the Vienna Arbitration Committee.

It wishes to say that the cession to Hungary of the cities of Uzhorod and Mukacevo, inhabited by Ukrainians, as well as Ukrainian villages situated in other districts, utterly disregards the ethnical principles proclaimed as the basis of new policies inaugurated at Munich." r A similar protest was sent by M.

Mychouga, delegate of the Ukrainian emigres in the United States who came here to support his people's "rights of independence."
