Prince Rodziwill Who Fled Disguised As Workman
 Tells Story.

Warsaw, Tuesday, Dec. 24-(By the Associated Press)-Forces com manded by .Petlura, the Ukrainian leader, drove General Skoropadski from Kiev on Sunday, Dec. 15. Pet lura himself entered the city last Thursday. Prince Radziwill, a veal thy Polish land owner escaped and has reached here with other refugees, which include four hundred Russian ooff1cers driven out of the district of Dubno by peasants. Prince Radzi- will said to the Associated Press upon his arrival here:
 "Kiev is calm again. The shops are open and 1t is still occupied by ten thousand German troops under General Kirbach. The horrors of an archy in that country, especially in the Volhynia district, cannot be req lized. have seen how landlords and their managers have been cruelty as- saulted and beaten by peasants and turned out naked in the bitter cold. They have begun to ill-treat women, which is something new to Bolshev- ism. For instance, if they cannot find the husband or father they wish to arrest, they take the wife, mother or daughter.
 T escaped, dressed as a railroad employe, on a train carrying a num- Der of German soldiers, a few wom- en end some civilian passengers. At every station it was a fight to get by. The peasants are robbing and disarming German soldiers every where being infuriated because of German thefts of grain and food. Tt is estimated that virtually 10O,- 900 Germans are still left in Ukraine but only those in Kiev are armed. l believe they will eventually make | their escape. Throughout all of Ukraine, which is inhabited by 30,- | 000,00O people, conditions must be l regarded as being absolutely chaotic ' It is stated that the defeat of Gen

DEMAND SHIPS TO
 RESUME TRADE
Operating Officials Throw Up Hands in Despair
 Over Clamor.

Washington, Dec. 27.---American ship owners are demanding the re- turn of their requisitioned ships from the Shipping Board, and American ports are insisting that they be given a big slice of the new shipping built by the government. The Shipping Board is besieged with delegations from almost every port in the coun- try, demanding ships,
 Tonnage to move goods and food stuffs to Europe, to South America, to Asia and even to Africa is the cry of the ship lines and commercial bodies Behind this is the demand of Ameri- can industry for an opportunity to expand; of American exporters to reach the markets of the world.
 The confusion has become so great that the division of operation, which largely controls the assignment and allocation of shipping, threw up its hands.
 The first effort will be to return the requisitioned ships so that the various lines may start in with the tonnage of which they would have been pos sessed had not the war made 1t nec- essary for the government to concen- trate all shipping in it's own hands It may be that 1t will be impossible to return the same ships to their own CTS that were taken, but in this case the Shipping Board plans a satisfac- tory adjustment on an equal tonnage basis
 When the requisitioned ships have been returned the problem of alloca' ton of the new ships will be up for | solution.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general Idea Of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July 1, 1914, to
January l, 1918, is given by figures
Just announced by the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
Iy rations for 57,1OO,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for %, 194,570 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 1884 .OOO,OOO bushels.
Pork exports for the 3h years amount
ed to almost 2,0OO,OOO,OOO pounds. Ex-
ports of fresh beef totaled 443, 4S4, 400
pounds. The amount Of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent, 20 the western allies.

To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
l. HouSehOlders TO use not to exceed
a total of II pounds per week Of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than ~ pounds of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking flour, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
2 Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroRi,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, containing a total
of more than two ounces of wheat
-four. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
each ninety meals served, thus con-
forming with the limitations requested
of the househOlders.
g. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth Of barrel of flour to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter of a barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and in no case to sell wheat
products without the sale of an equal
weight Of other cereals.
f. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery Of the three-Quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
in other weights. We also ask bakers
not to increase the amount Of their

March 1.
.. Manufacturers using wheat prod.
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such Use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, fiours, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat, potato flour, ct
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook In their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds a week, and we specially
ask the well-to-dO households in the
country TO follow this additional pro-
gramme in ord'r that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for

such restrictions. Until then we ask

Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of S0,0OO,-

Argentina closed the last ship
