POLES Charge HUNS
WITH AIDING REDS
BOlSheViSt Terror in Poland Is
Not Diminishing

Warsaw, Jan. IS, (By the Associat-
ed Press troops have
slackened their advance at the Po-
lish frontier. The Germans are de-
laying their evacuation of Grodno for
several days, although General Falk-
cnhayn has retired to Suwalki and
General Hoffman has gone to Koen-
igsberg.
Polish leaders aIlege that Germans
are selling arms to the Bolshevists
under the pretense of aiding the $50
ciety for provisioning Ukraine" In
Lithuania and Ukraine, the Bo1she-
visits are issuing proclama tons that
they have come to restore order. Dis
patches state, however, that Bolshe-
visit soldiers have been seen carry
ing banners inscribed with the words
Long live the Red terror" and
death to nOn-workers'.
Men have been arrested at Wilma and
other places and have been released
later, it is said, on payments of sums
ranging from fifty to fifty thousand
rubles, size Of the ransom being in
proportion to the terror of the vic
tim and his power to pay. The Boil
shevists are especially bitter against
the Poles, it being reported that the
declaration of q holy war against
Poland by the Moscow government
makes it right and duty of every
Bolsheyist to kill the Poles as enc
mics of mankind" Fewer houses are
burned than formerly but 1t is said
that where houses are spared their
inmates are slain.
Miss ShebekO, sister of a mem
Der of the imperial council, succeed
ed in escaping from Mohilev and has
reached Warsaw. She says that she
and two aged aunts were driven from
their home which was turned over to
peasants. They were allowed one
small room from which the lock of
the door had been removed. A few
bits OF furniture were given them,
she says with the admon1tion: You
must understand that this belongs to
the nation" They considered them
selves fortunate, as many of their
neighborS were maSsacred, she de-
clared. Two brothers living in Ser
dowski were tortured to death and
their wives and little children were
mutilated, according to her story.
The officer Of the Polish Legion
who went to visit Serdowski is al
legged to have been murdered because
by the Bolshevists. Miss Shebeko says
that this murder aroused the indig
nation of certain Jewish members Of

was learned that the officer knew how

CLOTHING S(|
and ROBBERS
Shoes Stolen From Peoples FEEL
in Streets Of KieV

Warsaw. Jan. 90 (By The Associated
Press )--Ukrainian peasants are hid
ing grain from the BOlshevislts by
burying it in large pits.
It is reported that large mum bers
Of Germans remain in Kiev and other
Ukrainian towns. They have, it IS
said. no intention to leave and it is
reported that they have been offered
large sums to fight in Petlura's army
or in the ranks of the BOlshevists.
Common soldiers are said to be get
sing 80 roubles and officers from 100
to 200 roubles a day for service.
I<iey is being deserted by all for
eigners, most of whom are headed for
kovel, Cracow and Warsaw. German
diplomatic agents have issued warn
ings for all who are NOT natives to
leave the country. There are few
American refugees from kieV who
have reached Moscow but are unable
to leave there because they have no
funds
The cost of food at Niev is almost
as great as at Moscow. Clothing is
so scarce that it is common TO see
people robbed of their shoes on the
street. Many German officers have
been stripped naked by bands of
street providers.
FugitiVeS are frequently unable to
get transfers to Moscow, but even if
they leave in that direction they are
liable to be robbed by bands which
are holding up trains. If they leave
toward kovel, they have to walk part
of the way, although it is possible to
nire a cart if one has considerable
money or to buy room on fiat cars
used for Transporting German soldiers
These soldiers often become intoxi-
Gated, build fires on the open cars and
toss hand grenades into them for
pastime.
It is stated that General Barthol-
mey and a number of officers of the
French army are endeavoring to reach
kiev to look over the situation. Many
doubt that the party will ever return,
owing to Bolshevik activities in
Ukraine. Petlura, the peasant leader,
is a BolsheVist, but one who wishes
to rule Independent of Moscow With
the end of the year, the return of
many soldiers from the front and the
evacuation of Ukraine by the Ger
mans, Petlura revived his prOpa ganda
with result of many alleged Outrages
throughout the country. Palaces and
private homes are said to have been
destroyed, art works and valuable
book collections have been carried
away and it. is said many murders
>have been committed by his followers.
This work is said to have been done
with much enthusiasm by the peas
ants who were opposed to General
SIX oropadski, who issued an edict re-
turning land to its former proprietors.
The peasants are also said to hate the
Germans for supporting Skoropadski.
The Germans are said to have at
tempted to gain favor with the peas
ants in other ways, however, and to
have worked with Petlura. The peas
ants dislike for the Germans has
taken the form of robbing soldiers and
has also resulted in a great falling off
in wheat and sugar production since
they are obliged to sell to Germans.
