Sharp Fighting in Streets Ends and Chancellor $ Palace An nounces That the Situation
 Has Been Fully Controlled
Opposition Carries White Flag to Headquarters, Demand ing Surrender; Many Killed
 in Subsequent Sharp Battle

BERLIN, Monday, Jan. 6, 10 D. m. (By the Associated Press. .)-"The gov. ernment feels tonight that it has the situation firmly in hand" was the statement made to the correspondent at o'clock tonight at the chancel- lor's palace where the members of the government have been in session throughout the day. Most tense ex- citement marked the day which ended in short but sharp fighting in front of the palace shortly after , o'clock.
 The Spartacans approached the gov ernment troops guarding the palace, carrying a white flag, announced that the palace was surrounded and de- manded it's surrender. The demand was refused. The Spartacans then opened fire, killing three government soldiers and wounding several. The fire was returned and 20 of the Lieb- knecht followers were killed and a large number wounded. The Sparta cans made several minor attempts within the next hour to approach the palace, but were driven off.
 Some fighting occurred at other points, but so far as can be learned there were only a few victims. One clash came when the Spartacsns az tempted to storm the new central league station in the Oranienburger- strasse. The government soldiers in the building used hand granades and the radicals were driven away.

EXPANDED CURRENCY VALUES
 TO BLAME FOR HIGH PRICES

Summing up his observations. Sem atOr owen said:
 The high prices in Great Britain and France are due not alone to high freight and short supplies. but in part to the greatly expanded currency. which while nominRlly on a gold basis. is in reality based on governmental credit and patriotism. while British and French notes not really available to get gold. Consequently American dollars. exchangeable in America for gold. are buying in Great Britain and France paper currency not actually controvertible into gold on demand and with a purchasing power much lower than in normal times.
 "In the meantime, however. Amer jeans are paying about twice as much for what they get in Great Britain and France as in normal times. This will help to adjust the balance of trade and falls largely upon Americans trav- cling in Europe and buying goods there"

 OYSTER BAY, N. r., Jan. S.-Theo- dore Roosevelt lies at rest tonight be- heath a cemetery knoll near the ramb- ling rural highway along which he travelled so many times in boyhood and in manhood between the Saga more Hill house which was his home and the quiet village of Oyster Bay
 Perhaps no other former president of the United States has been paid the tribute of so simple a funeral as the one which was given Colonel Roose- welt this afternoon on the shore of Long Island sound. Military and na- val honOrs were not his in death, only because it had been his wish, and that of his family, that the last rites be surrounded only with the simple dig nity that might attend the passing of a private citizen.
 Many Pay Tribute
 But the American nation, and for eign governments as well, sent repre- sentatives, as did the state and the city in which he was born. These noted men sat sorrowfully in the pews of the little red-gabled Christ Episco- pal church, while brief services of prayer and scripture readings were held without eulogy in which so much might have been said. There was no singing or organ playing.
 It was noon when, at the Sagamore Hill homstead, all of Colonel RoOse- velt's family except two of the sons, Lt Col. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., and Lt Kermit Roosevelt, who are sol iiers in Europe, assembled for a few of private prayer at the side of the coffin in which lay the body.

Many Important Problems
 Concerning Program Being Worked Out Under Eyes of President and Allied Heads
American Leader Acquainted With Views of France, Eng land and Italy. Prepared to
 Meet All Questions Arising
CBy Review Leased wIre)

PARIS, Jan. S.-Many important questions concerning the arrangement of the program for the peace confer ence. which have been in process Of solution, probably soon will be ad- justed as a result of President Will sons return 10 Paris. The president now has personal knowledge of the views of some of the premiers on these subjects and she had supple mented it by his observations during his trip to Italy.
 The president during his trip to England and Italy kept in close touch with the members of the American peace delegation in Paris and it is evident from the expressions of off cials ethat the settlement of various matters will progress more rapidly from now on.
 Program Progresses.
 The presidents informal talk with Colonel House Tuesday night dealt with the attitude of Premier CIem- enceau and Lord Robert Cecil regard ing league of nations. The confer ence gave the president fresh in formation concerning their views and today Colonel House and Secretary Lansing conferred with Lord Robert. who is the British authority on league of nations. So it may be re- garded as certain that the program is making progress and that in a few days matters will be in shape for the first steps of the conference.
 In fact it is admitted that the first meetings between President Wilson and his aides and the entente powers may occur at the end of this week. These conferences win be informal and will carry forward, in a spirit Of accommodation, the discussions which have taken place during the presidents absence between officials of the various delegations and also between various groups
 Clear Ground for Work
 The meetings are expected to de- velOp great importance later, but at present it may be said results of value have been reached and that the ground has been cleared for the beginning of the actual negotiations.
 The impending informal meetings between President Wilson and the entente premiers vii deal with sub jects of fundamental importance. IL will be for these officials to arrange the program which will govern the peace congress itself. subject to ap- proval when all the delegates formally gather The Japanese delegates already here have been participating in some phases of the discussions be- tween the groups. It is assumed that they have been consulted in the prep aration of the program and that they nave outlined the treatment of cer-

TRANSITION FROM WAR TO PEACE IS
 WITHOUT FRICTION
Federal Reserve Boards Sum- mary of Business Condi- tions for Current Period
 Shows Copper Is Effected
CRv Review Leased WIrel


 WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Transition of the country from war to a peace basis has proceeded thus far with considerable smoothness and with de cided lack of friction, says a general summary of business conditions issued today by the federal reserve board.
 Such slackening of business as has occurred was described as due to con- servatism. Thus far the process of readjusting labor is said to have caused little inconvenience since labor set free from war industries has been absorbed by general business. Wages have not been reduced and in some cases have been increased. Agriculture was reported in an excep- tionally promising condition. The farmer was said to be in the best financial shape that has prevailed for years" Excellent crop prospects were reported.
 Livestock Areas Prosper.
 Tn the livestock region conditions are improved" and cattle probably will go through the season in fair condi- tion.
 Iron and steel are unsettled on ac- count Of the cuts that already have been made and the expected new price basis for them and for their deriva- tives. Orders for new business are of some assistance, but are not yet of volume to indicate that prices have become settled
 While coal production has not re- covered the level which had been at tained prior to November, and while some shortage exists here and there. the output is said to be again moving upward. car service has improved in certain sections and labor conditions are reported fairly satisfactory.
 Copper Shows Effects.
 Production of copper and of other metals which have been in exceptional demand during the war already is showing the effects of conversion of industry to a peace basis.
 In manufacturing, the outlook is by no means uniform. Freight is moving fairly well. Munition industries have largely reduced their activity. Ma chine tool manufacturing is demoral- ized on account of the cancellation of government orders. Cotton and wool mills have been running full, but the end of thrilled orders is approaching and little new business is being placed . Shoe manufacturing is less active
 There has been an increase in re- tail trade. due toNthe holiday season ] and in consequence of relaxation of . economies due to the war At some | points, the report says, there would .
