cleaning up the suburbs of Rahnsdorf

port that they have arrested two indie
pendent socialist leaders in Rahnsdorf
who prove to have distributed arms TO
other independents and 10 communists
and to have melted to violence" Y
The chairman of the soldiers council
in Wilhelmshaven. who is also an in
dependent socialist has been arrested.
together with a soldier. because they
distributed weapons to soldiers in the
shops there. Three aldermen of Will
helmshaven, two laborers and one
member of the soviet all of them indie
pendents, have been taken into custody
for causing loyal soldiers stationed in
Friedrichshafen to be disarmed at the
beginning OF the general strike, ac-
cording TO the report.
This is the first instance of definite
mention being made of the arrest OF
independent socialists, and it is be-
lieved to be probable that the report
was given out owing to a desire by the
government to expose the connection
of the Independents with the Sparta
cans mad the uprising, which the inde-
pendent leaders have st0utly denied
1t is reported also that the troops
found large quantities of arms ana
ammunition in Lichtenoerg, which
