MASSACRES IN GALICIA.

TERRIBLE ATROCITIES.

London, July 16. The newspapers in Warsaw state that the Ukrainian occupation of Eastern Galicia was marked by ferocious atrocities. The priests were forced to hold grenades, after which a light was applied and the victims blown to pieces. The peasants were forced to throw themselves on fires, thus whole villages have been exterminated. The masssers of men, the violation of women and the confiscation of all belongings was general. The Ukrainian Mission to London has stated that the Poles have suffered great losses during the last offensive, losing 8,000 prisoners since June 10. The greater part of the booty taken during General Haller's offensive has been re-captured by the Ukrainians.
