Berlin. March 12 (delayed)-.By A.
P.)-Spartacan forces. under pressure
from government troops using artillery
and mine-throwers, were abandoning
their positions in Lichtenberg this
morning. (Later advices announce that
the Spartacans were driven from eastern
Berlin and Lichtenberg)
The government forces took n large
number Of prisoners, many Of whom
were executed summariIy.
The government troops entered Lichten-
berg after bombarding heavily the main
Spartacan nests. The Spartacans fed,
leaving behind them their weapons and
ammunition. The suburb is surrounded
by government troops and the only
chance the Spartacans have of escape
is by discarding their weapons and con-
cealing their identity by mingling with
the peaceable inhabitants.
One group of thirty prisoners captured
included ten women With their hands
handcuffed behind them the men and
women twere taken through the Inter
den Linden to the Moabit prison. In
one Spartacan nest, it is reported
twenty Poles were captured. Govern
ment soldiers report further details OF
the torture and murder of government
soldiers and policemen by the Sparta
canss
The government has issued a notice
TINT the seven depots Sof the republican
soldier guards have been abolished and
that any former members of these
depots caught with weapons will be
executed. The government is preparing
to clean up all Spartacan districts thor
oughly. Large quantities of arms and
ammunition are being discovered.

Epartacans, has been dissolved.
Copenhagen, March 13.-(By A. P.)-
The nature of the fighting between gov
ernment troops and Spartacan bands in
the eastern suburbs Of Berlin seems to
indicate that local Spartacan groups
have been formed for no other purpose
than to plunder that city. On Monday
Spartacan adherent was captured and
in his posseEsion were found jewels val
ued at 100000 marks. The message adds
that the man was executed.
Silesian troops, acting in agreement
with the Central Soldiers Council, have
occupied the public buildings of Breslau,
according TO advices from that city. This
action was taken owing to the discovery
that Spartacan leaders were arriving in
Breslau from Berlin with the purpose
of occupying the buildings and deliver
ing the town to pillage.
