Berlin, Thursday, Feb. 6, (by
the Associated Press 1.-The internal
situation in Germany is seriously
menaced by numerous Spartacan
groups who are showing themselves
in the north and east coast cities and
at various places in central and SOU
thern Germany. The newspaper pub
iication of war bulletins on happen
ings on the new German-P and
German Bolshevist front adds to the
nations woes.
While the SpartaCan insurgents
have apparently been routed in Rre
men, they are forNenting fresh riots
at Hamburg, Kiel and Luheck and
are becoming extremely bold in Dus-
seldorf, Gotha. lena, Erfurt and Eli
senach. In Berlin, government troops
are carrying on a renewed search of
houses for concealed weapons and
ammunition because of the open
threats of the communists that a
new insurrection is being organized.
Wherever the Spartacans are act
i've money flows in profusion and the
insurgents experience little difficulty
in obtaining recruits while their sur
reptitiously ACQUIRED supplies of
arms and munitions enable them TO
equip volunteers If only for the pur-
pose of terroriHing the social and Of
fetal bourgeOise.
The sole redeeminG feature Of the
situation in the last As hours has
been the determination of the bur
geoise and civilians to counteract the
terror by strike en- masSe. Following
the example set by all the Bourgeoise
circles in Dusseldorf the railway
postal and telegraph employees of
Hamburg, Lubbock and Muhlheim
have thrown down the gauntlet to the
local revolutionary boards.

suited in a number of dead and
wounded. Two thousand shipyard
workers went out on strike in svm-
patty with the Rremen communists
After n meeting conducted by Spar
tacans. red guards, and Independent
socialists, the strikers proceeded to
the office of the government to de-
mand that the workingmen be armed

four marines were wounded.
The local soldiers council in ILl-
beck has moved its baggage into the
camp of the Spartacans. It's attempt
to mobilize the local garrison for The
support of the Bremen insurgents
failed in the face of the loyal stand
of the government troops.
The attempt of the Spartacans to
intimidate the railway, postal and
telephone officials at Muhlheim re-
suited in the, latter striking after no.
tifyng the revolutionary working
mems and soldiers council that work
would be resumed only when the
telephone station was evacuated by
the Spartacan troops and new coun-
Gil elected.
The radical soldiers and working
mems council of Gotha has demand
ed the withdrawal of government
troops from Wcimar under the
threat of a general strike in the
ThUringian states. The Independent
socialists are also identifying them
selves with the hostile movements 60
ing on at Erfurt, EisenaCh, Gotha and
Jena, which are being conducted for
the purpose of menacing the nation
al assembly. The pick of Berlin's
plain clothes men and secret politi-
cal police have been assigned to spe-
cial duty in connection with the ses-
sions of the assembly
