RIOTING STILL
GRIPS GERMANY
Troops Battle Mobs
-Bavarian Women
Comnnunized.

Paris. April ia proclamation
issued by the Bavarian government
annoupced that the garrison at
Munich has swept away the soviet
forces.
(By Associated Press.D
Riotous disorders continue in
Germany. In Bavaria there are in
dications that the government led
by Premier Hoffman. successor to
Kurt Eisner, is gaining ground and
that the soviet regime, which
threatened to take over complete
control. may be ousted. In Berlin
there have been riots and troops
have fired on street venders who
are alleged TO have been dealing in
stolen goods. In the Industrial
region of Westphalia the strike
continues, but no further fighting
has been reported.
Many Die in Clash.
Berlin, April I5-Many persons
were killed or wounded in a collis-
ion between troops and street VEN
ders.
Heavy fighting is reported raging
in the streets of Munich between
troops Of the red guards and loyal
troops.
The strike of the bank clerks in
Berlin spread today TO Chemnitz
and Mannheim. All the big bank
ing institutions in those cities are
reported closed. Negotiations to
settle the strike have failed because
the bankers decline to meet the de-
mands of the employees.
The bankers have sent delega-
tion to Weimar to discuss the situa-
tion with the German cabinet.
Meanwhile, money is becoming
scarce in Berlin.
Women are COmmunized.
The communist government in
Munich apparently realizing that
its days were numbered, issued on
Saturday long number of orders,
more radical than the previous de
crees. One order provided for the
communication of women, ''includ-
ing wives" Another order dis
placed all managers and directors
OF industrial establishments and
gave their places to the workmen.
Reports from Munich say there
is much talk there of the advis-
ability of moving the communist
from Munich to Ans
bach.
