 BATTLE WITH GOVT,
Government Troops Will Not Risk Decisive Battle Until They
 Have 30,OOO Troops.

Berlin, April 19 (Via Copenhagen.) Serious fighting between Bavarian communist and government troops oc- cured Friday near Freisig, resulting in fairly considerable losses for both sides, a Munich dispatch to the Tage- blatt says.

 Three thousand Wurtem burg troops the dispatch adds, arrived at Dachau, north of Munich, last night.

It will be several days before this number of troops will be in position to move on Munich.
