 After their loss of the police headquar- ters district the spartacans organized center of resistance in the northeastern section of Berlin, but the government troops last evening and today were work
 ing slowly through this district. using artillery and mine throwers and now and then dslodging their opponents from the barricades and other points of resist ance.
 Artillery fire also was heard occasion ally from the western suburbs where the Sparatacans had attempted to start a new revolt.
 Some sniping and roof fighting also were reported from various disturbed sections of the city. Even the radicals, however, admitted today that the revolt and the accom- panying general strike were doomed to failure.
 Work in the factories was resumed only to a very limited extent today, partly because it was Saturday. which many plants had kept as a whole holi- day instead of half holiday during the coal shortage.
 The nonappearanace of the newspapers also was factor, as this prevented the news of the decision to abandon the strike becoming generally known. It was anticipated today that work would be resumed generally on Monday. The in dependent socialists were negotiating with Gustave Noske, the minister of de- fense today to obtain ceretain conditions to save their faces before concurring in the majority decision. The subway was running today, but the surface cars had not resumed oper- ations because of the difficulty of pro- tectng them.

 duits
 Transmission of messages also was hampered repeatedly by the strikers cutting off electric lights.

SPAlT FANS PLANNED. QUICK q 0'ERTHROW OF H., GOVERNMENT
Documents Captured Re veal Elaborate Plan for Winning Success in
 Five Days
By Associated Press

Berlin, Saturday, March S.-The Spar tacan leaders in the Berlin strike move ment had detailed plan for the over throw of the government within a def- nite, brief period, it is shown by Sparta can papers captured by the government forces. Among these documents was an elaborate plan by the Spartacan general staff mapping out the course for the in- surrection and showing it counted on a triumphant conclusion in five days, the movement to culminate in the proclama- tion of soviet republic.
 The leaders knew the government would throw strong force of troops into Berlin but counted on winning over va- rious organizations.
 Their plan of campaign named the Alexander platz, adjacent to police head quarters, as the rendezvous after the strike declaration.
 The first days objective was the cap- ture of police headquarters, which the Spartacans were so confident of accom- plshing they had ready for distribution printed handbills announcing the cap- ture of the headquarters and the de- lection of the government troops, the latter announcement on anticipation of the detection of the sailors and the re- publican guards.
 The second days objectives were the imperial palace, the Reichstag building and the Unter Den Linden district. The third days objectives were the chancel- lor's palace, the war ministry and the other ministerial buildings. For the fourth day was set the capture of the railway stations and the newspaper dis trct, while the fifth day was to com plete the capture of the city, with a climax reached by the proclamation of the dictatorship of the proletariat.
 The plan failed because the outside reg iments proved icorruptible and of high fighting qualities.
