"Lokal- l-Anzeiger" reports a meeting
yesterday Of the Social Democrats
and Independents at the Reichstag
Building, at which members OF the
Soldiers and Worknren's Council
were present. Decisions were taken
in favor Of setting up republic and
a constituent assembly will be con-
voked, charged with drawing up a
constitution for the new ate.
A delegation from the r,eeting
went at midday to the Wilhelm
strasse to call on the government

its business of the state to the new
regime.
There is possibility Of negosia-

Among others the National Lib
eral Freiherr Won Richthof and
Matthias Erzberger were at to-day's
meeting of the Social Democratic
party in the Reichstag. There we're
also representatives. of the great in
dustries, and it was unanimously
agreed that events could no longer
be postponed. The workers are
pressing for settlement which shall
be complete but without bloodshed.
From different sides the wish was
expressed that an agreement might
be reached with the Independents,
and it was proposed that the United
Committee be formed. The workers.
representatives announced that
work had already stopped in the
various establishments
The following description Of
events in Berlin during the uprising
is given by the Wolf Bureau:
A Red Cross motor coming from
Breitenstrasse drove into the court
yard Of the Royal Palace. After
it had disappeared there was sud-
denly shot and a great cloud Of
smoke rose at the entrance of the
royal stables. While the people
were wondering whether the shot
came from the stables or was fired
by soldiers Of the council there was
second shot and, as if prearranged
by signal shot, machine gun fire
Immediately opened from the cellar
and ground and the first floors of
the stable buildings.
A lively exchange Of fire ensued
between the troops Of the soldiers
Council outside and the hidden gar
| rison within, while the crowd
Of many thousand fled in all direc-
tions. This continued for about ten
minutes.
The troops of the council, who had
taken cover behind the Begas foun-
tain between the royal stable and
the entrance to the palace, soon ex-
hausted their ammunition and with
drew until reinforcements arrived.
These came half an hour later, when
message was sent off to have the
attack on the buildings renewed.

The twelve small states, which
apparently are not yet affected, can
not hope, it is believed here, to stay

the King has announced he will not

marchers carrying banners with the
inscription "Freedom, peace and
Bread" and singing the working
mems Marseillaise. The Socialist
leaders Goehre and Sudekum, who
are officers in the Landwehr, have
issued an appeal to all officers not
to provoke useless bloodshed.
Deputy Ebert and other party
leaders have formed a committee of
twelve, representing the larger po-
litical factions, to facilitate CO.
operation with the Soldiers Coun-
Gil.
No German press comment on
the situation has reached Copen-
hagen over the Socialist-controlled
wires, except for brief appeal by
"Germania," the Centrist organ, to
the people TO remember that the
adoption of Bolshevism would mean
continued war with the Allies and
misery for the people.

cording to special dispatch to the
