psburgs Never
Can Regain Throne,
Says Karl Seitz
President of National Assem-
bly, Declares German Aus.
tria Had No Part i'm Kin
ding World Conhagration

VIENNA, Dec. 24.-The only bright
spot IN the tragedy Of Austria" was
the release of the country from the
Hapsburg autocracy, which never could
be restored, declared Karl Seitz. leader
OF the German Socialists in Austria
and President of the National AS
scmbly of German Austria, in an inter
view given here to- day.
The fate of German Austria was
especially tragic, he said, because she
had been accused wrongfully of kind
ling the war. History would prove. he
declared, that the German Austrians
had no expansive aspirations against
inc Slavs and always had opposed the
action which started the war No
country IN the world, Herr Scitz as
serted, had suffered such brutality and
persecution at the hands of the mill
'ary class as had German AUSTRIA
Sees No Early Federation
a federation of nations composing
the former Austria Hungary. perhaps,
would be desirable in the interests of
capitalists, Herr Scitz continued, but
such thing was impossible for a
long time, not only because the Czccho-
Germans, but owing to the insupcrablc
difficulties of arranging common
customs, taxation, finance and traffic
systems, to say nothing of the diff
Guilty of language.
German Austria, he said, cannot
exist alone because of her geographical
position and because the arteries Of
traffic unite her with South Germany
and thence with all of Germany, upon
whom Austria, owing to her needs for
coal and capital, is dependent for her
restoration.
Needs Food and Capital
The German Austrian republic, which
had not yet been recognized by the
Entente as an Independent state Herr
Scltz declared, was faced with the
greatest difficulties concerning food
supply, raw material and capital 1t
would hardly be possible to maintain
this state economically without a loan
from the Entente
Herr Seitz Contendcd that the
smoothness and order with which the
revolution in Austria had been achieved
had done much to restrain the spread
of Bolshovism in Germany
Entente subjects who had remained
in Austria throughout the war had,
he said, suffered no i'll treatment from
the people of German Austria, who
had no hatred against England, France
or America. Herr Scitz expressed hope
that with the conclusion of peace any
hatred against the Germans in Austria
would cease.

LONDON. Dec. 26.-The mutinous
sailors who had been holding out in
the Red Castle at Berlin have hoisted
the white flag and have been allowed
TO leave under guard, according to adj
vices from Berlin sent by the Exchange
Telegraph correspondent at Amster-
tam Government troops, the message
adds, now occupy the palace and the

100 Killed in Fighting
Nearly 100 persons were killed in the
street fighting which began in Berlin
on Tuesday morning, according to the
latest reports from the German CAPT
tai, transmitted by the Exchange Tcle-
graph correspondent at Copenhagen.
The Republican Guards tried several
times to take the royal stables and the
headquarters of the revolving sailors,
but were rcpulsed.
A largo number of soldiers belong
ing to the Berlin Guard joined the sail
ors, "Vorwarts" reports, and few Of
the Republican Guards followed their
example.
When these reports were sent large
number of armed civilians were con-
tlnuing to pin the sailors, not only at
the royal stables, but in the Konig-
strassc. This street, with all its
houses is reported in the hands of the
sailors, who arc supported by the Spar
tacans. They demand that Premier
Ebert and Secretary Haase resign and
be replaced by George Ledcbour and
DR. Karl Liebknccht.
DR.. Liebknecht, the adviccs add, went
to the Chancellor's palace and had a
long conference with the Minister'S,
the result of which was unknown.
Further Fighting Feared
Further fighting was anticipated, it
was added, as the Spartacans and the
sailors are said to have decided to at
tempt to force the guards to return to
Potsdam. The latter we're stationed
in Inter den Linden and on the Wer-
derschcn Platz.
According to an Exchange Telc
graph dispatch from Copenhagen a
force of 800 sailors on Monday formed
guard and seized the Red Castle one
Of the former royal palaces They
blocked the main streets and entered
the public buildings and arrested Herr
Vols, the military commander of Ber-
lin; Herr Fischer, his adjutant, and
Dr. Bongard.
The Republican Guard with machine
guns and artillery bombarded the cas-
tie. Holes were made in the walls,
the porches were destroyed and all the
windows smashed. The balcony from
which former Emperor William once
made his speech in which he declared:
Il know no parties" was partly
smashed. The guard eventually occu-
pied the castle, but the sailors were
still holding another large building at
the time the dispatch was filed. The
square in front of the castle was lit
tered with stones and missiles.
