He has always found applause with

WORK FOR BRIGADE
POST AT OCLETHORPE
NEW SURVEY AND ESTI.
MATES ORDERED.
Gives Strong Hope That Gov
ernment Intends to Garry
Out Project.

Washington, Jan. 11.-(Special.)-
Judge Moon and former Mayor
Thompson visited the war depart
ment yesterday afternoon, looking to
the establishment of a brigade post
at Fort Oglethorpe. The government
engineers have already made esti-
mates of the cost of the project, but
as these were made when prices were
lower than they are now the depart
ment officials said new surveys and
estimates had been ordered to con-
form with existing conditions.
The fact that this action has been
taken gives the hope and belief that
it is the purpose of the government
to carry out the project. Judge Moon
said that the situation with respect
to a permanent brigade post at Fort
Oglethorpe was at least hopeful, as
the new order would surely not have
been issued unless the government
had definite purpose to proceed with
the matter.

armed with rifles, machine guns and
hand grenades. have been stationed.
They relieve a nondescript guard, COM
posed partly of marines, some of whom
were Spartacans.
The government buildings, which are
likely to be attacked any time, are
only few hundred yards from the
hotel. The Brandenburg gate, which
has been the scene of several skirm-
ishes, is only 100 yards away.
A bullet last night struck the casing
of a window in a room occupied by
Brig. Gen. Harries. head of the
American commission.
Early indirect dispatches give more
details of Thursdays fighting In Ber-
lin. Both the Spartacans and the
government forces are described as
acting with great determination, al
though 1t seems worthy of note that
with all the reports of severe com.
'bafnssin which artillery, hand gre-
nades and rifles are described as hav-
ing been used freely, none of the OBJ
servers has anything to say definitely
of large, casualties or has apparently
observed any considerable number OF
bodies.
The Spartacans are described as
resolutely defending the Tageblatt
and Vossische Zeitung printing
plants, which on Thursday night
were still in their possession. On the
other hand, three resolute attacks by
the Spartacans on the Brandeburg
gate are reported as having failed to
shake the governments hold on the
main entrance to the central quarter
of the city. where the chancellor's
palace and the ministries are situ-
ated.
The growing confidence of the gov
ernment that the garrisons in the
ministries and private buildings in
this quarter are strong enough to
prevent surprise attacks is reflected
in the reports that the government
has reduced the number of troops
guarding the streets nearby so that
access to the quarter is no longer
so difficult as it was. From this CEN
ter the government is conducting its
campaign to expel the Spartacans
from the newspaper offices to the
south and east. but without positive
successes yet reported. The govern
ment's occupation of the Red Flag
offices Is said to have been aban-
doned.
