Old Regime Men
Still Hold Jobs
By FRANK j. TAYLOR
nited Press Staff Correspondent J

Omitted Press StaH Correspondent 4
BERLIN, Feb. 24.--In Berlin o.
is surprised to find the large number
of men of the old government who
are still holding their petitions under
the socialist regime. The foreiEn Of
flee and practically all of thaNstate
departments have about the same
staffs as held office during the VHaF,
In many cases the heads of depaFtR
ments are changed but the same
group of undersecretaries works un-
der socialist head. Very often the
entire department is dependent upon
these undersecretaries The majority
socialists under Chancellor Ebert
saved many Of these technical men,"
as they are called, and it is due to
them that German executive depart
ments have continued to function in
spite of revolution.
According to the former employees
and representatives of the new gov
ernment, the fact thar men who serv-
ed the militaristic party are now work
ing with the socialists is not to be
looked upon with suspicion by the
allies, or to be taken as an indication
that the government is any less social
list. -
In Germany the departments of
state are run upon system whereby
man starts in one as a youngster
and grows up with the department.
His views will not keep him out OF
office. Many of the former kaiser's
technical men protest they never have
been in sympathy with the militaristic
party and always have been liberals.
Though the radicals would throw
all these men out, because they are
democrats rather than socialists, the
majority socialists have taken
broader view of the interests to keep
government machinery functioning,
Numerous departments operat'
now without active heads practically
as we'll as they did under the old re-
gime. A large part Of the efficiency
is due to good organization, but the
men trained by the old government
are to be credited chiefly for depart
ment operation under the present
trying circumstances.

Yank Movie Man
Halted Battles
By FRANK J. TAYLOR

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Feb. 24.-Battles be-
tween Spartacus rioters and govern
ment troops in the principal streets
of Berlin had to stop several times to
enable an American movie man to set
up his camera.
The movie man was chap in uni
form who had been taking reels of the
battlefront in northern France. He
followed the Yankees to Coblenz, and
then set out for Berlin to complete
his series of pictures there. He ar
rived Just in time for the January
fighting.
Eyewitnesses tell with amazement
how this movie man took his reel
of revolutioning in Berlin. Perhaps
his most daring feat was to get the
details of the machinegun engage
ment in Wilhelstrasse from both an
giles.
The movie man started out crank
ing it off from the Brandenburge1
gate side of the street, near Unte1
den Linden. It was pitched battle
and machinegun bullets were raining
horizontally and both ways. From
his position on the second stroy of Q
hotel the Yankee got the government
end of the action extremely well.
Then he decided to take the other
side. Sholdering his camera he walk
ed out into the street between the two
forces. Noticing his American uni
form, both sides stopped firing, while
the American leisurely crossed thu
street and set up his camera. Wher
he got behind it, the shooting begar
again.
Another time has was cranking hi
camera from second story window
overlooking a lively engagement
when the Spartacans noticed him
They thought he was operating ma
chainegun, and rain of bullets whiz
zed around him. He finished his pic
ture and moved the camera out.
The Yanke movie man has charm
ed life, according to people who say
him.

Berlin Will Keep
Scars of Battle

BERLIN, Feb 24.-The store win
dows of Berlin are among the oldest
evidences of the fighting of the revo-
luton. Everywhere, where there has
BEEN fighting, the window panes have
suffered, but Berlin is different.
In towns along the front window
panes were no more after the violent
bombardments of both armies; in
Paris and other cities they were badly
crashed in as the result of bombing
raids, but Berlin's panes merely have
holes in thenM>
As machinegun bullets flew in ev-
cry direction, they pireced the win
dows with sharp round holes less than
an inehin diameter, around each Of

fast, they did not crack the glass, es.
pecially the thick plate glass win
dows.
In one single pane on Jersualem
strasse you can count more than three
hundred holes in the plate glass pane
of shoe store. AS yet the plate Of
glass is not cracked, and it is solid
but it will not keep out wind anC
water.
In some blocks scarcely pane j
left without from one to hundred
holes in it, though rarely was a win
down broken so badly it had to b.
boarded up. In most cases, the shop
keepers swept out the fragments o.
glass, and the holes in the Windows

prospective customers.
Considering the cost of plate glas'

of replacing plates damaged merel!
