Trying to Aid Government.

That act was merely part of the plan
by which the government is trying to
instill respect for itself in Berlin and
all of Germany. That is why an
armed truck patrols the boulevard,
while occasionally tank lumbers be-
tween the trees followed by a squad
of artillery or a company of infantry.
All the soldiers are young and many

of volunteers. / saw one of today's
patches Of prisoners marching down
the street toward Moabit. Some were
soldiers in uniform and others were
well dressed civilians. Some had their
clothes torn from fighting One
jectly alone at the rear, but with her
head held high.
Whether the program of wholesale
executions now being carried out by
the government will tend to restore
quiet to the country or will arouse
the country to greater opposition is
a matter about which opinions differ
Some observers say that the stern
measures taken have already had the
effect OF 1essenlng the disorder 9th
ers say that executions without trial
are instilling sullen resentment
which when it breaks will sweep the
government away. The government
at one time says that the disorders
are the work of criminal classes only
but the next moment it says that
they are due to the Spartacan party.
Last week the assembled CORE
spondents gave out list of SPARTA
can atrocities for the purpose of hor-
rifying other nations. Now they
say that the atrocities were fake
stories and merely German propa
ganda. Naturally these correspond
ents claim that they no longer have
confidence in the statements of the
government unless they are corrob-
GRATED. Americans, some of whom
arc in uniform and others in civilian
clothes. are not molested or inter-
fered with on the streets and public
places in Berlin. Occasionally some
hody starts a conversation but it is
usually due to a desire to display
fuency in English.
