PEACE WITH UKRAINE
TO EFFECT A BREACH.

Amsterdam, Feb 15.-Peace with
the Ukraine was made not only so
that the Central powers might obtain
foodstuffs, but also to effect a breach
in the eastern front, it is indicated in
a dispatch from Vienna. A statement
with the conclusion of the Brest-
Litovsk negotiations and given to vi
emma newspapers says:
TT':As Trotzky's attitude. particularly
concerning the application of the
principle of self determination. made
satisfactory conclusion impossible, it
became the political task of the pow
ers who were working for peace to
make breach in the eastern front.
that is. to arrange peace with the
Ukraine, thereby also arriving at a
settlement Of the Russian and Ru-
lnanian questions. Peace with the
Ukraine had to be made if only be-
cause a way was opened by it to east
ern Europe's richest granary."
The statement adds that peace with
the Ukraine was obtainable only on
condition that Cholm should be ceded
to the Ukraine. the desire for which
could be fulfilled by the application
Of the principle Of self determination
which is recognized as applying to
Russian territory.
PEACE with the Ukraine" the state
ment continued. "Is the cornerstone
Of the entire peace structure.

Of the treaty all ,Ukrainian surplus

Proclamation Issued by the
President Today-Takes

to Release Ships.

Washington. Feb. l5.-By u new
proclamation today. President VIII
son placed all exports to all countries

thus places the entire foreign COM
merce Of the country under the Ii
cense system of the war trade board.
1ttis one of the steps Of reducing
ocean carriage Of non-essentials to
release ships for transportation or
troops and war materials.
The following explanatory state
ment was issued by the war trade
board:
''The president has today issued
two proclamations which will become
effective tomorrow. The purpose and
effect of these proclamations are to
subject to control by license the en-
tire foreign commerce OF the UniteA
States and from and after February

ported from this country or imported
into this country except under IL
cense. .s
The president has heretofore is
sued several proclamations controls
ing certain exports under the espion-
age act, and one proclamation con-
trolling the importation Of certain
commodities under the trading with
ton and the tonnage situation have
made increasingly apparent tho
necessity Of instituting a complete
and thorough going control Of all our
exports and imports.

ports or imports, these are measures

OF awaiting ourselves of every possi-
BILE means Of maintaining our armies

have always depended upon us: we
! must also dispose of our surplus III
such a way that Germany and her al
lies will derive no benefit therefrom;
and we must secure for ourselves in
return shipping and supplies urgent
ly needed.
THE PRONUNCIATION OF these two
proclanlations does not mean an em-
! barge on exports or a prohibition Of
| imports, but places in the hands Of
the president the power to regulate
which he will exercise through the
war trade board and the treasury de-
partment"

automatically ended the, armistice.
(The Armistice expired February Ia. }
The Germans now consider that they

that they will support the Ukraine by

(By Associated Press.)

Peace on German terms having
been refused by the Bolshevik gov
ernment, Germany will again take UP
military operations against northern
Russia. This resolution is reported to
have been arrived at at q conference
at imperial headquarters between
Emperor William and military and
political leaders. Petrograd prob
ably will be the objective Of the new
invasion. @
The negotiations at Brest- -Litovsk
broke up in stormy session, after
which Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik
foreign minister. enunciated q plan of
mo war, but no peace" This was
rejected by Germany. which holds that
Trotzky's declaration ended the armi-
stice on the Russian front. The armi-
stice expired Thursday.
It'is indicated in Vienna dispatches
that the central powers made peace
with the Ukraine in order to offset
their diplomatic defeat at the hands
of Trotzky. 1t is reported that Ger
many will support the Ukraine against
the Bolshevili. One German news
paper says that the Bolsheviki are
moving against the Ukraine and there
is little doubt that the central powers
