STRIFE IN BERLIN

Ebert Government Seems to Have

10 to Save Revolution.

Paris, Jan. 12.-(Havas)- Semi
official advices from Berlin indicate
that the insurrection is decreasing in
power and it no longer seems doubt
full that the bert-Scheidemann gov
ernment has been maintained by the
loyal troops whose discipline has been
strengthened by the presence in the
city of Field Marshal Won linden
burg. The Spartancans appear to
have transferred the struggle to the
provinces, where they seem to be
gaining what they have lost in the
capital. ,.,1
Karl Liedknecht is reported to
have proclaimed a "red terror" and a
dictatorship. The proletarians de-
clare general strike 'to save the
revolution" has ben called for Janu-
ary 10, which has been fexd as the
date TO rthe election Of the general
assembly. Z Il, d.
While the Spartancan activity in
Berlin has developed into guerilla
warfare with the plundering Of food
shops as it's main purpose, serious
fighting has developed in Munich,
where the government has forbidden
all demonstrations.
Disorders in Dresden have been
quelled but in Stuttgart the Sparta
cans are masters Of the city hall and
the municipal council has been dis
solved. Strikers in the Westphalia
region now number 100000.

CABLE COMPANY PLEA M e
FALLS ON DEAF EARS
Suit to Restrain Burleson
From Taking Over Lines for Gov
ernment Dismissed by Federal
-. Judge Who Decided Case on
Merits Alone.

~ New York, Jan. II. The ;rjurc
ton suit brought by the Commercial
Cable Company and the Commercial
Pacific Cable Company to restrain
Postmaster General Burleson from
taking over forjthe government their
respective cable lines and merging
them with lines controlled by the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
was dismissed today by Federal
Judge Learned Hand. Counsel for
the companies announced that an
appeal would be taken.
Judge Hand decided the case on its
merits, passing without decision the
jurisdictional point raised by the
United States district attorney, who
contended that the suit could not be
maintained on the ground that it was
directed against the United States,
and in effect against the president.
Taking up the claims of plaintiffs
that the seizure of the cable lines on
November 16-five days after the
signing Of the armistice was not jus
titled, the joint resolution of. July
16, 1918, authorizing national secur-
ity and defense, and that the resolu-
ton itself was not sufficient war
rant for the seizure: Jude Hand de-
cided both claims adversely. .. -
Commenting On the contention Of
counsel for the cable companies that
! the necessity" for seizure within
the meaning of the joint resolution
had terminated with the signing of
the arsnistice, Judge Hand said:
"The resolution expressly extends
re powers until peace has been de-
clared. Had they Congress intend
ed that suspension of hostilities
should terminate the right, they
would not have said precisely the
contrary.
The right Of congress to authorize
such a seizure By the president was
justified hg Judge Hand on the
ground that as commander in chief
Of the armed forces CT the nation the
president was permitted by the con-
stitution to hold either money or
property to be used for the national
defense.

ance was mainly of machine gun fire
and artillery, the latter in some, in
stances firing over open sights at the
advancing infantry. In this opera
ton the regiment captured 16 off

miles of territory. The regiment

During the operations of October
II great resistance was encountered
and it was evident that the enemy
intended to hold his line at all costs.
Prisoners reported that the hills were
full lof machine gun nests and at the

the combat, as it was case of rifles
against machine guns. However, two
square miles of territory were gain
