UKRA|N|AN AGENT
 PROTESTS ACTION
 SUPREME COUNCIL
25-Year Mandatory Powers Granted Poland Over Eastern GaIicia
 Objected to
By Associates prs..

Washington, December 25.-Protest against the action of the supreme
 council at Paris in granting to Po- ,land mandatory powers for 25 years
 over the territory of eastern Galicia,
 65 per cent of whose population claim | to be Ukrainians. is made by Julian
 Batchinsky diplomatic representative of the Ukrainian peoples republic, in a memorandum addressed to Secretary Lansing.
 Appealing for the right of self-de-
 termination of peoples, MT. Batchinsky
 in his memorandum made. public to-
 day, cited the action of the $500. 900 Ukrainians of eastern Galicia who had
 proclaimed through their legislative body the desire for a union with the former Ukrainian provinces of south ern Russia, snow khown as the Ukrain- ian peoples republic.
 The fact that the mandate over the
 territory was limited to 8 years in-
 dicated the doubtful character of Po-
 lands title in the opinion of the lrkrainian representative. As evidence of the alleged abuse Polish rule al ready had inflicted, MT. Batchinsky lenumerated the suppression of the Ukrainian language and press and the suspension of all U<rainian schools.
 Ut is the opinion of the government and of the people I have the honor to represent" Mir. Batchinsky stated.
 that the above mentioned decision of the supreme council is neither right eous nor reasonable: that will not lead to reconciliation. peace. liberty and happiness. nor to the foundation and perpetuation of strong and stable Poland, but, on the contrary, that it will lead to continued strife and war fare and to the continuation of oppres- sion of the Ukrainian people. and. that | it creates the same conditions that i'm dubitably led to the downfall of the old Polish ehpire and will as inevita- bly lead to dhe downfall of the new Polish republic. For all these reasons my government constrained to pro-
 test most ernphatically against this de-
 livery of the Ukrainian people to their
 ancient and modern oppressors, the Poles '

LEGION COMMANDER SENDS GREETINGS
 ID ALL OF |CERS
sy A.seeiatsd prs..

Indiana polls. Ind, December 25.--- Department commanders, executive
 committeeman, alternates and adju
 tants Of the American Legion today were sent holiday greetings by Frank lin D'ciicr. national commapder, In which the officers were th9nked for their co.operation in the past and warned against "any overzealous. thoughtless or unfair act which can weaken the Legion's influence for na- tionai betterment''
 The message follows:
 'T desire to extend to you personally my sincere Christmas greetings and best wishes that in the coming year the/ American Legion may realize the high ideals and purposes which have been intrusted to us to carry into full fillment.
 The spirit of whole-heart rted coop eration manifested at the first meeting of the national executive committee immediately after our recent national pertinent commanders at Washington which terminated so successfully and within so short time, and in the meeting of the national executive com mittee in Indianapolis on December 20, has been most gratifying. I trust that you realize that I deeply appreci- ate the assistance which you are giv- ing me. It cannot help but be an in centive to us all and especially to those responsible for the administra- tion of the legion during the coming year.
 Tn those meetings the fact has been unacceptable that the American Legion is a mighty organization, and that it's power and influence, as well as it's tremendous responsibilities, are fully realized. The legion, as an or ganization. has now become so great that we need scarcely fear any force from without. and feel confident that not only those of us who are charged with the responsibility of administra- tion. but all of the members of the American Legion throughout the coun- I try, feel if ithere is one thing against which We must be on our guard, it is any overzealous, thoughtless or unfair act of our own that can weaken or | tend to destroy the iegions influence for national betterment.
 Tt is apparent to me that the sup port demonstrated at the meetings
 with department officers of the legion, with whom 1t has been my privilege
 to be associated since the convention, l is itself a safeguard in that respect"

 With the exception of attaching his signature to the bill the President rested, spending most of the forenoon in the White House garden and at noon eating Christmas dinner in his room. During the afternoon while Mrs. Wilson drove out to present gifts to friends of the family and to the children living along the road to the country club where the President, be- fore his illness, played golf, MT. VII son read the large number of Christ mas messages which he received from all parts of the United States and from abroad

RED CROSS ISSUES
 APPEAL IN BEHALF
 OF WAR PRISONERS
nY As,erIaint pre..

Geneva, December 35.--The Interna-
 tional Red Cross has sent out an ap-
 peal in behalf of the prisoners of war
 in Siberia. Two hundred thousand prisoners. for the most part Austrlans
 and Hungarians, many of whom were captured in 1874. are living without shelter and virtually without clothing
 and little food. Any contagious dis
 eases may make terrible ravages.
 Typhus has already killed 12.OOo Of the 16,oo0 men at the Troitz camp.
 As it would need 250,O00,0 900 francs to transport the prisoners to their homes. the Red Cross fears too much time would be required to raise such an amount, but hopes that their fate can be ameliorated quickly by assist ance rendered from the outside, or all will be dead before relief reaches them

No Price Yet Fixed for 1O3 Vessels Taken Over By the Government Dur

By Asseeia.sa Prs.

Washington. December 25 - The shipping board had under considera- ton the sale of all former German passenger ships with the stipulation that the vessels be run under the American flag, 1t was announced to- night.
 These vessels. which were taken over by the government during the war. total 1os. aggregating approri- mately .5o,ooo deadweight tons. No pries has been fixed for the ships. but S25o a ton is suggested as a probab valuation by high officials. l The six ex-German liners held by the shipping board pending the final de- ! termination of their status are not in cluded among the vessels which may be offered for sale.
 While no announcement has been made by the board of change in policy with regard to the present pro- gramme for the establishment of pas senger lines to all parts of the world. officials freely discussed the possibi1- ity of the boards abandoning pas. senger service.
 The decision of the board not to per init the use of liquor on government owned ships Is expected by shipping experts here to make competition with privately owned vessels practically i impossible. The latter, being able to serve intoxicants outside of the three mile limit, have considerable advan- tage in the competition for passenger traffic. it is considered. Although the six liners allocated to the recently ordered New York South American line are included in the group of vessels to be put on the mar ket, they will not be, sold if service to South America will be thereby cut off All proposals for the purchase of 1 the ships, 1t was said, will be careful ly considered with regard to the line or service in which the ships are to be operated.

New York, December 25-Christmas dinners went begging on the Bowery tonight Roast turkey with all it's trimmings" candy and mince pie failed to attract half so many hungry men as were served in former years. This was attributed to prevailing pros- perity and prohibition.

Not a man ap- peared at noof. although 400 pounds of turkey and smany good things had been prepared few years ago it was not unusual for the mission to feed 1900, but tonight fewer than 300 hungry men appeared.
 Outside the Bowery Christmas cheer was spread into many humble homes on the East Side and poorer sections of New York by different organisa- tions. institutions and Individuals.
