ly wounded in street fighting in Kiev
the capital of Ukrainia, according to
information received here today.
The hetman's palace was besieged
and attacked several times by troops
faithful to the old nti-German gov
ernment.
A state OF civil war in Ukrainia has
grown out of the revolts against Ger
many. Gen. Won Eichorn, commander
of the Austro- German forces in
Ukrainia. has received orders to put
down the rebellion.
IT is now believed that the German
military authorities will assume COM

newp government at kiev will be dis
missed.
Absolute domination would give
Germany an opportunity TO rush food
and cattle to their own country from
Russia and levy indemnities upon the
poor peasants.
It Is reported that Germany will soon
declare the old paper money in Russia
worthless and will substitute German
currency. which will be the sole legal
tender. thus forcing the peasants to
turn In their Russian paper money.
