MANY JEWS ARE MASSACRED
Massacre Followed An Attempt To
Dissrm Militia Organized BY
Jews For Protection

Geneva.-Two thousand persons
have been killed at Przemysl. Galicia
by the Ukrainiqns. according to a dis
patch to the Neue Freie Press OF Wen
ma, copy Of which has been received
here.
The Ukrainisns have been lombard
ing Przemysl for several days past by
land and by air. and conditions in the
town are described as terrible.
The gas and electric plants have
been destroyed and there is no light
in the town. Water and food also
are lacking.
Jews Massaered In The Ukraine
Warsaw-A pogrom is reported to
| have taken place at Breditschew, pop
ularly known as the Jewish capital of
| the Ukraine, the place deriving its IT,
tie because of its all Jewish popula-
ton The trouble is reported to have
occurred as a result of an attempt by
peasants to disarm militia which the
Jews were organizing for their pro-
lection i'll all centers which they an
ticipated would be necessary when
the Moscow government breaks up.
Reports received here give the num-
Der of persons killed as several hun
bred, while other hundreds are declar-
ed to have been wounded. There may
be some eXaggeration as to the extent
of the casualties, however
1t is considered here that the con-
troll of Petlura, the Ukrainian leader,
has weakened, as otherwise he would
not have permitted the pogrom, his
policy previously having been TO pro-
tect the Jews when possible
1t is pointed out that the Jews late
ly have been more bitterly hated be-
cause of their alleged Bolshevik ten
denotes and also their employment by
the Bolsheviki as spies in many cases,
they being the only intelligent or edu |
Gated instruments obtainable for this |
work.
The Breditschew referred to prob
ably is Berdichev, an important COM
mercial town in the government of
Kiev, "a miles south of Zhito-mir. Its
population consists mostly of Jews.
The town is one of the most import
ant ports Of entry in southwest Rus
STA. In the year 1916 Berdichev was
to the Poles under the treaty
Of Demarkation between the Lithua-
mans and the Poles.

.ARMISTICE TERMS RENEWED
Allied War Council Has Reached De-
eision To Go Slow About
Rehabilitation
conference

London.-The Central News declares
that as a result of the allied discus
sions in Paris the whole aspect of de
mobilization has undergone a sudden
and vital change, this being shown in
the drastic conditions demanded OF
Germany for a renewal of the armis-
tice.
"On authority of an unimpeachable
character" says the Central News, ''it
can be stated that a situation exists in
Europe under which war may break
| out again at any moment. The allied
war council has arrived at a decision
which means that the British people
| have mistaken the appearance of peace
| for reality. This decision means that
the new British ministry must revise
the whole scheme of army demobiliza-
ton.
"The decision is that Great Britain.
in proportion to its military strength,
must maintain an army of occupation
on the Rhine for many months. If
the rapid increase in rehabilitation
there would. in few months, be no
army in France to undertake the OBJ
legations which, by common decision
of the allies, have been placed upon
British shoulders"
New Armistice Terms Drastic
The new armistice terms presented
to Germany by Marshal Foch are I'M
officially stated here to include the
following:
First: Retribution upon the Germans
for the murder and ill-treatment of al
lied prisoners.
Second: The machinery and goods
stolen by Germany from France and
Belgium to be at once given up. IT |
is pointed out that France alone has |
five hundred thousand men who will |
be out of work until this machinery
is returned
Third: German gold, amounting to
more than one hundred million pounds
to be moved from Berlin to
a safe place, probably Frankfort, and
protected from Bolshevism in Germany
en- route. Certain other property to
be surrendered.
Fourth: Germany to give over her
shipping, of which she is believed to
have 100000 tons, to carry food sup
plies to countries in Europe in need
IF them.
Fifth: Any U-boat on the stocks to
,e handed to the allies for their dis
,osal, or to be destroyed. and no more
submarines to be built.
Many U-Boats Discovered
Some 10 boats have been discov- ,
red on hand at German yards" says :
he Daily Mail, "and these must obvi- i
usly be dealt with. Mankind would 6
lot be safe If they were left in Ger z
nan hands intact. We may hope, how I
ver that the peace conference will '
orbid submarine war and submarine t
obstruction in future 1
Submarines are valueless for COM
lercial work and are capable of such :
riminal use in war that they ought
OF to be tolerated. The British navy i.
as provided appliances which rob :
lem of their sting; the British subma- :.
mes are by far the most powerful in 9
lie world. Nevertheless, the subma- :
mes ought to be banned"

been declared at Leipsic, which is

Paris.-Nearly forty different plans
