AMERICANS HELD
IN GERMANY PLAN
APPEAL FOR HELP

Munich. Tuesday, Dec. 24.-By
the Associated Press)-A group Of
Americans of German birth, who
have been in Munich throughout
the war, unable to secure AmerI-
can passports, met last evening and
drew up a petition to President
Wilson asking for quick food relief
for Germany and also assistance in
communicating with their friends
and relatives in the United States.
The meeting was marked by ad-
dresses by those who favored ask
ing bluntly for passports, since all
are desirous of going to America,
but it was decided to postpone the
request until later The meeting
considered taking steps toward get
ting in touch with other Americans
similarly situated in Germany, es-
pecially a colony OF native-born
Americans in Munich who have re-
fused to actively associate with
the German-Americans
All such efforts have thus far
been frustrated by the police who
have refused to give the addresses
Of Americans residing here. Ap-
peals TO advertisements in the
newspapers have also been proved
futile.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 27.-Dis-

was proclaimed yesterday by the
minister of the interior, according

Washington today through official
channels.
It had been expected that the
Turkish cabinet would fall. the re-

deputies was dissolved by procla-

Later, the minister read a long
declaration in reply to interpella-
ton from the deputies of the oppo-
sition in which he outlined the his
tory Of the war and pointed out that
Turkey was led into the war
through no necessity, but to con-
tent the ambitions of some high Of
ficials.
II also was reported from Con

President to Urge
Opening of Peace
Farley Be Hurried

Paris, Dec. 27.-The personnel of
The peace congress gradually is
taking form, so that the American
delegates express the hope that the
various countries delegates will be
announced and the delegates arrive
sor the actual commencement Of the
negotiations soon after the opening
of the new year.
A number of the main details OF
the composition Of the congress are
now fairly well settled as a result
Of recent conferences. These indi-
cate that the total membership OF
the congress will be between 100
and 120.
Twenty-seven countries win he
represented by delegations. includ-
ing those which declared war and
d number which nave come into
existence as a result of the war.
The great powers, notably Great
Britain, France, the United States
and Italy, each have allotted five
delegates. while the other delega-
tions will vary from one to four
members, according to the size Of
The country and the interests in
voIved.
Word has been received that the
Belgian and Portuguese delegations
soon will join the representatives
OF the United States, who thus far
are the only members of the peace
congress to arrive The non-ar-
rival of the others has been the
subject of considerable surprise and
adverse comment, the Americans
taking the ground that they are
here ready to proceed to business,
but with the personnel of the con-
gress not yet announced.
II is understood that President
Wilson's visit to England is likely
to result in conveying quite def1n-
itely the view that it is highly de-
sirable that the congress should be
put in motion with the least pos
sible delay.
While the personnel of few dele
cations have been announced, un-
official advices indicate that the
delegations have been virtually
formed and that they soon viii he

Nevertheless. by FAR the largest

The Mail says:
There have been more excited

Escapes Ukraine
in Disguise; Tells
of 1error's Reign

Warsaw, Tuesday. Dec. 24-(By
the Associated Press) Forces
commanded by Petlura. the Ukraine
leader, drove General SkOrOpadslli
from Kiev on Sunday, December Is,
PetIura himself entered the city
last Thursday.
Prince RadMwiIl, a wealthy Pol
ish landowner, escaped and has
reached here with other refugees,
which include 400 Russian officers
driven out of the district of DubnO
by peasants. Prince Radziwill
said TO the Associated Press upon
his arrival here:
''kiev is calm again. The shops
are open and it is still occupied by
10000 German troops under Gener-
al kirbach. The horrors of anar-
Chy in that country, especially in
the Volhynia district, cannot be
realized. l have seen how land
lords and their managers have been
beaten by peasants and turned out
naked in the bitter cold.
They have begun to ill-treat wo-
men, which is something new to
Bolsheyism.
Il escaped, dressed as a railroad
empIoye, on a train carrying a
number of German soldiers, a few
women and some civilian passen-
gers. At every station it was a
fight to get by. The peasants are
robbing and disarming German sol
dieTs everywhere, being infuriated
because of German thefts of grain
and foods. 1t is estimated that pos
sibly 100, 900 Germans are still left
IN Ukraine but only those in kieY
are armed. I believe they will
eventually make their escape.
Throughout all of Ukraine. which
is inhabited by 3O,O0O,O0O people,
conditions must be regarded as be-
ing absolutely chaotic.
1T is stated that the defeat Of
General Skoropadski may be attri-
buted TO the fact that two months
ago, under allied advice, he pro-
claimed Ukraine a part Of Russia,
whereas the peasants want that
country to be independent. 1t is
declared that he thus played into
the hands Of Petlura, who promised
land to the peasants and has issued
land grants to every man who has
served as a soldier under him"
A message from Danzig says the
Germans are dismantling the port
and carrying off all of the dock ma
chinery. fearing the arrival of al
he'd forces. 1t is also rumored that
the peace conference may give the
port to Poland.
Odessa is reported to be again in
BoIsheviki hands, after the defeat
of Polish troops near that city.
