THE MORNING OREGONIAJT, FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1920 3 POOTUND s IN FLIGHT OF POLES John Gregg Takes Part in Evacuation of Kiev. BOLSHEVIK REGAIN- CITY Americans Feed Refugees, Take Care of Wounded Soldiers M.nd Bur j- Dead. WAJISATV, June 16. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Americans took a prominent part in the evacuation of Kiev by the Poles. They turned their automobiles over to the Polish staff for use in feeding refugees, aid ing wounded soldiers and burying dead where there had been fights with bolshevik raiding parties. The Americans, among whom was John Gregg of Portland, Or., of the American Relief association, arrived in Warsaw today after six days and nights in captured bolshevik box cars. When they departed from Kiev June 10. the bolsheviki were shelling the city and aviators were dropping bombs. Vehicle Loaned Poles. Two American automobiles filled with Polish staff officers headed the procession when the evacuation of Kiev began. They were loaned by representatives of the American Re lief association and the American railroad mission to Poland. A pro cession of vehicles of all kinds was strung along the highways for a dis tance of 25 miles. Near the rear were an officer and a woman on horseback followed by a detachment of soldiers. The of ficer was General Rydzmigly, the Tollsh commander at Kiev, who was accompanied by his bride of six weeks. She accompanied the general when Kiev slipped from the hands of the bolsheviki. General Rydz migly, who had made all plans to defend Kiev from every side, was the very last to leave the city. Travel la Slow. Nine trains departed to the north west on the Malin line. The trains were convoyed by armored trains ahead and also in the rear. Travel necessarily was slow, keeping pace with the infantry. Frequently the armored trains and infantry literally fought their way out when attacked by raiding parties. For three nights before they reached the safety zone the trains were stopped with the coming of darkness. At daybreak the convoy moved again, being delayed several times from six to ten hours while the Poles fought off the bolsheviki or repaired the railroad. The Americans re ported that Poles captured several Browning machine guns from the enemy. The captured bolsheviki explained that the machine guns had been taken from the forces of Admiral Kolchak. The bolsheviki had plenty of ammunition. Captured, killed and wounded bolsheviki included many Chinese and Tartars, and also black skinned men. Many Poles remained in Kiev as-itwas impossible to evacu ate them. Evacuation Starts Karly. The Americans heard the evacua tion order while at dinner in the Con tinental "hotel. The orchestra was playing and some few of them wore evening clothes. The evacuation started at daylight and was com pleted in the afternoon when General Rydzmigly and his bride passed through the city'a gates on the road leading westward and through which his victorious army had pranced a little less than five weeks ago. Kiev and her war-time population of about 350,000 and her church domes topped with gold, which has not been touched by any of the nu merous forces of occupation, were again within the grasp of the bolsheviki. self -widowed girl told on the stand) yesterday afternoon was untrue. 1 Dodging traps set by the prosecu tion with the plea, "I can't recollect" or "I don't remember," Mrs. Sawyer , asserted she was not "responsible" fnv a 1 1 r. f 1.- . j .- in which she said she fired the fatal shots at her husband while she was in a "nightmare" or dazed as if by shock.

Her recollection had failed somewhat since she testified yesterday, she said. She denied that when her hus band staggered away and fell mor tally wounded his gun was still in his pocket.

'It was largely through efforts of the American cattle associations that these investigations were first be gun," Mr. Wilson said, "and were primarily for the purpose of finding a remedy for some wrongs which it was felt, then existed.
