Washington, Dec. 26. Protest
against the action of the Supreme
Council at Paris in granting to Po-
land mandatory powers for twenty
five years over the territory of East
ern Galicia, So per cent. of whose
population claim to be Ukrain'ans. is
made by Julian Batchinsky, Dip
lomatic representative of the Ukra-
ining Peoples Republic
Appealing for the right of self-de-
termination of people, Mr.. Batch

100000 Ukrainins of Eastern Cali
cia who had proclaimed through
their legislative body the desire for
a union with the former Ukrainian
provinces of Southern Russia. now
known as the Ukrainian Peoples
Republic.
The fact that the mandate over the
territory was limited to twenty-five
years indicated the doubtful char
acter of Polands title, in the opin-
ion of the Ukrainian representative.
AS evidence of the alleged abuse
Polish rule already had inflicted. Mr..
Batchinskty enumerated the sup
preston of the Ukrainian language
and press and the suspension of all

Ten Lassies, Who
Cross the Sea to Wed,
Get Chilly Welcome

Philadelphia, Dec. 26. - 1t is an
unusual trip when Captain Jones, of
the American liner HaVefford does
not bring at least one or two Eng
lish lassies who are destined for
what some folk call the gamble of
matrimony. Yesterday there were
ten of these women on the liner,
which came in from Liverpool two
days late, owing to severe gales en-
countered on the voyage and fog
and snowstorms met when the ship
was nearing the Delaware capes.
While the other 316 passengers
were rejoicing over the fact that
the Haverford had reached port in
time for them to come ashore on
Christmas Day the happy anticipa-
ton of the ten young women came
unpleasantly to naught, for the day
at least, as their prospective hus-
bands failed to be on hand to meet
them when the ship docked.
