Government troops which were ar-I irving to strengthen the city's pro lection were marching through the dark streets to their quarters when the train rolled in. Suddenly the silence was broken by the chatter of machine guns. The origin of the fir ing was not known until it was learned that Spartacan and com- munist prisoners had attacked the castle where members of the govern ment are quartered.
 Germans Feel InsuIted
 Count von Brockdorff- -Rantzau re- mained on board his train until after breakfast. The delegation was grim Iy angry at the hostile attack made upon it at Versailles in which a con- siderable number instead of three as first reported were injured. The Italian and French officers who ac- companied the German delegation as far as Cologne were profuse in their apologies for the incident and said the police at Versailles had been un- reliable since the strike but the Ger man delegates suspected the attack to have been planned.
