Seized by Force
OF Ukrainians
Troops Are Led by Petlura,
Anti-Cerman and Separat-
ist; Populace Fears Re-
newal of Bolshevist Rule

LONDON, Dec. 1s {By The Associ-
ated Press) ).-Unconfirmed reports have
reached London that Odessa, the great
Russian seaport on tho Black Sea, has
been occupied by the forces Of the
Ukrainian leader Petlura, who is anti
German and separatist.
Belated dispatches from The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at Odessa,
dated December 10 and December II,
report the arrival of Petlura forces be-
fore Nikolaev, northeast of Odessa, on
December 10. The Russian volunteer
forces there retreated and the Germans
refused TO interfere. The banks at
Nikolaiev put their money on board
British destroyers in the Black Sea-,
and the city probably is now in the
hands of General Grigoricff, of the
Petlura forces.
The situation was reported to be ap-
proximately the same at Odessa, except
that Petlura himself was in charge of
force marching on that city. There
is an abnormal population in Odessa of
are refugees from Great Russia.
The working and middle classes, it is
reported, are favorable to the cause of
Petlura, who advocates the extension
of Ukrainian territory into the Ruthen-
ian portions Of Galicia. His follower rs
have distributed proclamations an
nouncing war against the Ukrainian
government, the capitalists and the
land owners.

this act Of generosity of the Allies.

WARSAW, Monday, Dec. 16 (By The
Associated Press). The manner in
which the Russian peasants in Volhe
Volhynia have risen against their land
lords is shown by the experiences of
Princess potocki, who Is one Of the
refugees gathered here. Her estate at
Dombrovitza was bcsiegcd for one
week by the peasants. Several Polish
peasants aided in beating off the at
tacks, and dozen or more of the Rus
slams were killed.
Finally the Russians threw benzine
on the roof and set it on fire. The de-
tenders then agreed to surrender il
the women could go free. The Russian
peasants placed the men against the
wall and executed all of them, includ-
ing two young cousins Of the princess.
