Apart from his hosts, only one or
two OF the old Potsdam retainers are
allowed to come into personal contact
with the Hohenzollern and on the
rare occasions when he ventures beyond
the castle grounds his movements are
kept in strictest secrecy. Wilhelm

hesitatingly, recognizing them as be-
longing to the Governments police
force. Don't shoot, don't shoot" they
cried, and the men aboard shouted
back that they would not shoot so
long as the people behaved.e
Radicals Capture Police Cars
Then all of sudden the crowds
rushed forward and before the SOL
diers knew what was happening they
were swept from the armored@ cars
and their places occupied by the tu.
mutuous wave. The cars were then
taken past sthe Chancellor's palace,
winding their way through enormous
masses that by this time nearly blocked

Liebknecht again addressed the peo.

to rob the Government of means for
shedding blood, meaning the seizure of
the armored cars, and then he pro-
ceeded to tell the people how. as he
alleged, several guard regiments had

the men in power find that they could

After that the crowds dispersed,

the Liebknecht group, taking charge
of the captured cars.
