party, 4,7O6; German Peoples party,

254.
The strength shown by the Demo-
cratic party is surprising to the politi-
clans in view of the fact that Berlin
always has been overwhelming Social
list.
The day passed without any serious
disturbances in Berlin, but rumors
that the Spartacans intended to inter-
fere with the counting of the ballots
resulted in all polling places being oc-
cupied by soldiers when the voting
ended. There was some shooting
around the Vorwaerts and other news
paper buildings late in the evening,
but it was not of a serious character.
