PEOPLE DODGE BULLETS.
Those Walking Streets of Berlin Do 50 at Their Own Risk.

Berlin. Jan. (By The Associated Press. )--Thc curtain is still up on the great tragic comedy, Berlin, the Madhouse," as a majority socialist ed- itor called it yesterday. The unter den Linden. Wilhelmstrasse and the Seige- saIIee and all the streets in that sec tfon have been jammed all day by masses of people who from time to time fled madly into the side streets and sheltering doorways to escape the rain of bullets from both sides.
 The shooting reached considerable proportions three times during this afternoon, but the casualties appear to have been few.
 Spartacan forces and government troops clashed at the Brandenburg gate, where Inter den Linden terni- mates at the Tiergarten. Machine guns were used in the fighting.

BASKETBALL TONIGHT.
Dancing Will Follow Games at Local
 Y NJ. C. A. Gymnasium.

The local '. M. c. A. basket ball team will face one of it's hardest op- ponents in many seasons when the team of the Waterbury boys club plays in this city tonight. The game will be played in the Y. M. C. A. and should be a fast one from start to finish as the Waterbury team has not lost a game this season. The locals however, express no fears, and base their strongest hopes on the work of Slater and Larson, two men of last years team. The work of Mort John son, N. B. II. S., Middlebury and Lehigh star should be a strong factor in winning the game for the locals.
 A preliminary game will be played between the Y. NJ. C. A. midgets and the Mohawks, fast local team Dancing will follow. A game Is be1nR arranged between the midgets and the Fafnir dragons. which will probaoly be played next week.

FOREIGN RESERVE
 SYSTEM IS URGED
l |Selator Owen Blames Paper Money Expansion for H. C. Of |.

Paris. Jan. 9.-United States .Sena- Ator Robert l.. Owon, of Oklahoma, @takes the view that the high
 prices prevailing in Europe and
 America arc due in part to expanded foreign paper currency and that American reserve banks or a foreign reserve bank, analogous to the Amer ican system, would be highly advan- tageous in making the American gold dollar the measure of internal con Attracts, and thus expanding American commerce abroad.
 While in London Senator Owen con- ferred with Sir Brien Cokayne, gov ernor of the Bank of England; Regi- nald McKenna, formerly chancellor of the exchequer. and the leading off, cials of the English treasury. He also conferred here with the financial ad-
 wiser of the American delegates and with Colonel House, Henry White and
 others.
 Summing up his observation, Sena-
 tor Owen said:
 '@The high prices in Great Britain
 and France are due not alone to high
 freights and short supplies, but in part . Io the STSdlly PApdlluGU Cut Sii>'
 which. while nominally on a gold
 basis, is in reality based on govern
 mental credit and patriotism, British
 and French notes not really being available to get gold. Consequently. American dollars, exchangeable in Am erica for gold, are buying in Great Britain and France paper currency not
 actually convertible in gold on demand
 and with a purchasing power much
 lower than in normal times
 'In the meantime, however, Ameri- cans are paying about twice as much for what they get in Great Britain and AFrarice as in normal times. This will help to adjust the balance of trade and falls largely upon Americans trav- cling in and buying goods of Europe. An international gold currency ac- tually convertible at all times in gold Is greatly needed by the world now. Great Britain is furnishing Russia with ruble notes, redeemable in gold at London which serves a very useful purpose in providing a stable means for buying and selling comm oddities in
 Russia. notwithstanding the fact that
 ruble notes are, in all human prob ability, not actually exchanged for gold In London
