London, Nov. 25.-Traffic and tele-
| graph connection between Germany
and Switzerland are reported inter-
rupted. Berlin and other German
cities are said to be the scenes OF sefi-
Gus trouble
| Reign Of Terror.
There are rumors that a terrorist
revolt is sweeping Germany, but no
| direct confirmation to this effect is at
| hand.
Evidence has been discovered OF a
| German plan to destroy the Palals dc
| Justice in Brussels, according to dis
| patch from the Geramn capital
-Four internal machines were in
proximity to a large quantity of gun
| powder and ammunition. 1t is sup
| posed that the plan was laid in prep
| aration for a forced evacuation OF the
city before the signing OF the arms
| tice.
Situation Obscure.
Copenhagen, Nov. 25.-The German
situation is obscure, but fragmentary
bits of news indicate there has been
renewed serious trouble in Berlin.
The military commander of Berlin,
one dispatch says, ordered machine
guns to be turned on mobs supporting
the Spartacus or radical group, led by
Liebknecht and Haase.
Another dispatch says an independ-
ent republic of north Germany has
been proclaimed.
Teutcns Loaded With Loot
The Hague, Nov 25-A special cor
respondent sent to western Germany
| Immediately after the outbreak OF the
revolution sends this remarkable story
of scenes in AK la Chapelle:
II turned a corner of the highway
from Liege and ran into a most extra
ordinary sight, a child's go-cart pulled
by a tiny donkey, and occupied by q
large soldier fourishing a long whip
tied with red ribbon. Instead of rifle
he had goose slung on his neck and
over his shoulder and out of his haver-
sack peered bottle Of wine.
HE had come from Liege and be-
hind him followed for miles one long
procession of every conceivable thing
on wheels Communicated by the sol
diers. Thus they are making their way
home.
All Conceivable Vehicles.
1.-THE procession continued all day
| Wednesday and went on increasingly
Thursday and Friday. 1t had begun
| chiefly with motor traffic, but by Sun
day there passed me successfully a
farm cart, an old family coach with
high wheels, an early high tilbury,
| tiny dog-drawn cart, an open wagon
with Louise Quinze chairs roped down
| for the comfort of the occupants, q
COW fastened to a wagonette, then
| two-wheel gig.
zone farm wagon contained sheep,
a goat, a pig, geese, few chickens
pig roped in front of drawing-room
chair and tied to the back of another
| vehicle, so covered one could not see
whether it contained men or loot.
''The whole procession was loot of
every sort, more especially food, alive
| or dead. I realized why. All who
could had grabbed everything possible
| in the way of food.
Presently a little car with 20 men
| piled into it came along. They were
singing a new version of an old Ger
man song, Mach der Heimt,' which
may be translated roughly, Home,
Home, We Are Going Home though
| there is nothing to eat in Home, Sweet
| Home
"They said some days they had lit
tie to eat except what they could steal.
81 saw gang of prisoners of war,
French, English and Russian, as they
were marched along the streets. Their
appearance was simply ghastly--they
were famine-stricken.
| Germans Sell Rifles.
Thursday afternoon / went to the
| station to try to get a train for Co
! logne / watched for two hours a sec
ond crazy procession. A long train
| Of carriages and trucks streamed slow

and men were standing tightly packed
to the fOotbOards.
Men were clinging to the buffers,
men were on the roofs, men were in
