10000 KILLED
DURING BATTLE
Of UkRAINIANS

LAUSANNE. Switzerland, Dec. Z.
Forces OF the Ukrainian national
union have occupied Kieff, after a
severe battle. in which the casual
ties totaIied 10000. according to dis
patches received from kieff by the
Ukranian bureau here today.
Among those killed were Gen.
Skoropadski. hetmsn OF the Ukraine,
and 500 Russian officers.
The national union. the dispatches
said now controls all OF Ukraine.
Skoropadski. backed by the Ger
mans. became virtual dictator of the
Ukraine when that district seeded
from Russia and became an inde-
pendent republic. The peasants re-
yol,ed when German troops began TO
seize their grain and live stock. and
were soon stopped by the workmen.
who tied up transportation and in
dustry Of the country with a general
strike.
The national union, formed by the
Ukrainian proletariat, ia not definite
ly pro-ally, but is intensely anti-Ger'
man.
Withdrawal of German troops
from the Ukraine apparently gave
the union the opportunity TO over
throw and seize the government.
