CONSTANTINOPLE, Monday. Feb.
(By the Associated Press.) The
u.tion in southern Russia is so un
tain that the allied officials are
rlul of a general Bolshevik triumph
re, however, from internal dissen
a than from the entrance of red
crs from the outside.
r2ner.il Schilling is at Sebastopol,
imanding the volunteer forces
ich hold the Crimean isthmus. The
rounding lagoons are frozen hard,
rever, and it is feared the Bolshe
i may approach on the ice.
ebastopol harbor is cluttered with
less shipping. Ten thousand per
3 are registered as wishing to get
iv, while eleven thousand more are
ships from Odessa, without ade
to food or medicine. Typhus Is

: is impossible -to take away the
ulati'on as commanders of allied
ships in the harboi apparently lack
tiority for such action.
" i4 Agreement is Reached.
I jM ngreement has been reachced -be-
Itwoin General Denikine and the Cos-
;Sack supremo council. The Terek
' J Cossacks are giving their whole heart-
jed support, but the Don and Kuban
fcoseacks are making reservations
which weaken tlie anti-Bolshevik
b "i (slroDglh and make the Crimean silua-
j ijiou doubtful.
J i f The population at Sebastopol. Rus
f esla great seaport in the Crimea, has
1 -i jbecome so panic stricken over the Bol-
;j fsheyik menace that ther.e is danger of
a:repctItion of the events whicli took
plare at Odessa when the reds cap-
iiured that city recently, according to
the reports of belated refugees arriv
ing in Constantinople.
Machine Guns Used.
The refugees in telling of the last
hours spent in Odessa harbor say that
the crews of ship3 were compelled to
turn machine guns upon the crowds
tojjprevent them from overloading and
sinking refugee vessels which were
ibot to sail. The Bolsheviki h id be
jun raking the docks nt Odessa with
machine gun fire while there were ful
ly 5000 persons still trying to make
iheir escape. Many of these crowded
ipon disabled coalless ships hoping
tha they might be towed out to sea
rad awny from danger.
U is asserted by the refugees that
ffhen the foreign warships left Odes
sa many women drowned themselves
uul officers committed suicide.

"I am deeply moved," wrote Mr. Mc

"Tho awakening of the democratic!

The Vossischo Zeitung thinks tho

Shipping Board Chairman Tells
Senate Now Is Time to Dis
pose of Ships
LINERS TO OPERATE
UNDER YANK FLAG
Public Ownership of Shipping
i Requires Huge Expenditure j
Solons are Told !
i
WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. Rejection
at all bids received for the 30 German.:
passenger ships offered for sale by the
shipping board was recommended to
the senate commerce committee today,
by Chairman Payne of the board who;
asked authority to renew negotiations
for sale of the vessels for operation un-j
der the American flag. j
The resolution was embodied in a
prepared statement which Mr. Payne!
road to tho committee. He recalled
that the board had sold 18S ships in
accord with its .policy to dispose of
the fleet to American citizens for op-j
oration under Jhc American rjag and.
and that 18 former German cargo ves-j
sels were included In this number.!
The price received was SU3.545.947.
Must Spend Millions
Chairman Payne said if the congress
desired to change this policy to pub-
lie ownership or ships the passenger
liners should not be sold and congress
should direct the board to spend the(
$75,000,000 estimated as necessary to(
convert them from troop to passenger
vessels.
"It should be understood," he said,
"that the ships whether owned by the
government or by private capital must!
in either case be operated by the ship
ing companies which are bidding for,
the ships. The government has no,
adequate organization for tho direct
operation of ships. j
"If the government continues to bei
the owner, it must pay the operators!
a fixed fee and a commission upon re-;
ceipts and take whatever profit re
mains, or if no profit remains, must
bear all the losses."
Values High Now
The chairman went on lo say that
in accord with the joint resolution of
congress under which tho ships were
taken over a naval board had apprais
ed the craft and that the prices at'
which the board could sell now were)
substantially in excess of the apprais
ed value.
Mr. Payne said passenger ships were
scarce now and building prices high,
but that these conditions might
change and the value of the ships be
correspondingly lessened.
"If we prececd lo re-condition tho
ships, making them fit for passenger)
use." continued the chairman, "it will
lake from six to twelve months to put1
them into service. Our conviction is
thai we will not hereaftqr bo able to
sell the ships for the cost of re-con-uitioning
plus the price at which we
can now sell."
Questioned as to the possibility of
tho vessels ultimately being sold to
for'M.zn interests, Chairman Payne told
Ihe committee- the ships could not be,
transferred from under the American
flag without permission of-the ship
ping board. !
Vessels sold to private operators forj
service in lines designated by the,
board could not and inalterably be
held in these lines without congres
sional guarantees against Joss, tho
chairman said. '
Company Ic American.
Auked about the ownership of Ihl
International Mercantile Marine.'
Chairman Payne declared that invest i-i
gation by the board had sho.vvn the
company to be 100 per cent American.
Discussing the authority given the
board to sell ships, Chairman Payn
said: "We understand it is the policj
of congress that wo cannot operate
ships if we can sell them and that we
must sell all ships after five years."
Replying to Senator Calder, Ropubli
can, Now York, Chairman Payne said
shipping men felt that the govern
ment "would not discriminate against
American ship operators in -competition
with foreign ships in the patter
of prohibition."
