last accounts the kaiscrhof and tho
Friedrichstrasse stations werd still
closed.
Gas works are causing much lncon-
yenieuce, some districts being without
running water and with no gas what
ever.
Tho Spartacans also hold many i'm
portant freight stations from which
Berlin is supplied with it's daily needs.
Great distress would result If the Spar
tacau band remained in possession of
these stations a day or W. longer, acute
famine being certain to follow. But
this is just what they desire, believing
that terror will strengthen their hand
against the Government.
For the same reason they arc now
trying to stop all fuel supplies. As there
is only enough coal for two weeks in
Berlin. the situation that would follow
can be pictured.
II is rumored. however, that the Spar
are planning to seize some sta
tons which are not so well guarded and
thus again to interrupt traffic this eve-
ming.
The Spartacans have also terrorized
the employees of the suburban roads TO
such n degree that many refuse to con-
tlnue work. Some lines have had to
stop running.

that the opening of communication
an3 transportation is the greatest
thing the Allies can do to help his
new republic combat the danger of
Bolshevism which threatens it. The
necessity exists also for restoring
industry in the victorious countries
to afford employment to demobilized
soldiers.
Rehabilitation is a growing issue.
The agitation in England against
the return to France of soldiers
there on leave is typical. France
also wants her soldiers returned
home, and some sort of release, sub
ject to recall at an indefinite future
date, is now proposed as a compro-
mise measure in place of demobiliza-
ton. The demobilized forces can
only be set to work when industry
is fully restored, and industry can
be fully restored only with the
blockade greatly relaxed.
The nations are growing restless
while the statesmen slowly. and with
infinite suspicion of each other, unite
the knots that had to be tied during
the war. While the Bolsheviki
threaten to gain the upper hand in
Berlin, anxious statesmen say we

the organization of a league of ma.

follows the suggestions advanced by
Lord Robert Cecil. who conferred with
President Wilson on Tuesday.
The formula takes in account the
advisabilities Of popular opinion in the

tries, and necessarily involves the mod

preventing war.
The American delegation has been
careful to include nothing that will

will the formula propose a league

500, 900 marks, were c~onfscated.
Heavy fighting Is reported between
Poles and Germans in the province of
Posen. The Germans captured Czarlkau.
in the northern part of the province,
taking the place by assault. They were
compelled later, however, through the
arrival of Polish reserves. TO withdraw
to the north bank of the Netze. The
Germans have likewise been compelled
to abandon holman, in the face of SUI
perior numbers, but they are reported
holding the north bank of the Netze.
Fighting is in progress at Wlssenhoehe
and Wissek. with the trend favorable 10
the Germans.
The Polish council at Posen has issued
a proclamation formally assuming SUI
preme rule in the entire province. De-
crees. 1t is stated, will be issued con-
corning the Introduction of the Polish
language in the schools and the export
of f~oodstuffs.

Of the Poles appears seriously to threaten
the provisioning OF all northern Germany.
Archangel, Jan. 11.-(By 4. P.)-The
new positions of the Americans, Russians
and Poles on the River Omega sector were
subjected to a heavy Bolsheyik machine
gun fire Thursday. The Allied positions
on this sector now are at a village about
eight miles in the rear of the farthest
point reached in the advance of last
week. The withdrawal was made in order
TO give the troops good billets.
After a few days of extremely cold
weather, the Northern Russian front
again has become unusually warm for
this season of the year. There has been
another heavy snowfall.

Even the "schutzmann," the brutal
German policeman, has succeeded in
saving some Of his authority, and,
adapting himself with true German
y~irtuosity To altered circumstances,
has in many cases become a revolu-
tionary ledder. All these former firm
supporters of the kaiser's rule are nat
urally anxious to protect their inter-
csts and maintain their influence, and
they are consequently hostile TO liol-
shcVism as represented by Liebknecht
and his adherents. The 'unterofizier"
element will continue to play an I'M.
portant part in the development Of
the political situation in Germany. 1t
is NOT impossible that the Prussian
junkers still hope To be able one day
to reinstate the IIohenzollerns with
the aid Of the untcrotfiziers and field
wobels OF the German army, whose
sudden conversion 10 revolutionary
socialism seems, indeed, more than
suspicious.
However that may be, the pre-
dominant role which these old drill
masters are still playing reveals very
clearly that the evil spirit OF mill

people. Tie retreating and defeated
