 London, Sunday, Jan 12-The armsitce between the contending fac tions at Berlin has been broken and fighting has been resumed, according to Copenhagen adyices received here The Sparta cans still hold part of the Tagehlatt building. it is said Reports from Berlin indicate that l 1 the Spartacan forces have. lost 1900 killed since the outbreak of the revo- l lution, and many more wounded l Government troops numbering 5000 i arrived in Berlin on Saturday, but | with the strengthening Of it's military i | forces, the Cabinet is reported to bo l 1 losing it's political influence among l 1 the masses, Twenty eight mass meet | | ings were planned for today at Der 1 lin for the purpose of offsetung this ] trend. These meetings, which were 1 to be addressed by ministers and party leaders, were expected to lead ! to a renewal of the collisions with the Spartacans.
 It is reported that several banks and shops were plundered by mohs Saturday and that great armed crowds are continually parading the streets
 Spartacan leaders had been able to conclude an armistice on fairly even terms. It was stipulated that govern ment troops should not be reinforced during the truce nor resume opera tions without @ half days notice. The capture of the Vorwaerts
 building is considered rather i'm ', portant strategicauy, interfering with
 the Spartacan communications with
 outlying attachments The building
 was badly damaged by artillery fro
 and was coming down over the heads
 Of the defenders before they sur
 rendered
 The arrest of Georg Ledebour,
 leader of the independent Socialists,
 IS looked upon as ending his rela-
 tions with the cabinet and presum-
 ably terminating the CIandestine ne
 gotiations looking to a compromise F of existing difficulties by arrange ment for the disappearance of par ticularly objectionable persons on both sides and the postponement of
 the elections for the National Assem-
 ply. There is no confirmation of the
 report that Dr. Liebknecht has bden killed He has, however, faded from ; sight with Chief of Police Eichh0rn. . His disappearance may have given
 rise to reports of his death or ar
 rest.
 ) Spartacan forces outside of Berlin r have been able to a certain extent
 to interfere with the arrival of gov l. ernment endorsements. At Lautsche, T near Leipsic they are reported to { have disarmed three train loads of u troops on their way to Berlin.
 Government forces have captured
 the police headquarters after a short . bombardment.
 s The troops fired few shells and then waited to see what effect had u been made upon the Spartacans When Y the latter failed to yield, two men were sent forward with a white flag, demanding the surrenrer of the Spar - tacans. They were fired upon and
 killed.
 U Artillery fire was then resumed and
 the Spartacans began trying to flee.
 The soldiers thereupon stormed the 0 building and took several hundred Il prisoners. No government troops
 were killed in this encounter. The
 Bolshevists are said to have lost 5( .a killed and many wounded. The sol
 diers were enraged at the sooting o1
 the white fog bearers, and tie Bol- AT shev1sts are said to have fared badly W in the final clash.
