HAMBURG is IN

Rebels Sweep Through City,
Sla aying All Who OPP
posed Them
200 PERSONS KILLED
Ali Political Prisoners Liberated
Troops of Won Lettow Killed or
Placed in Prison.

Berlin, June 27.-Hamburg late
today passed completely into the
hands of Spartacist troops.
More than 200 persons are report
ed to have been killed in street fight
ing. The rebels swept through the
city, beating and Staying all whv op-
posed them.
The town hall wa. seized early yes-
terday and all political prisoners were
liberated. Troops Of Gen. Won Lcttow
detailed by the Bauer government to
put down the revolt, were either
killed or thrown into the cells vaca-
ted political prisoners.
The Hamburg senate has fled to Al
iona. Prussian town. virtually a
suburb of the big port city.
Hamburg is Germany's biggest
commercial port, and the revo,t is
proving a costly blow to the newly
established government. Orders nave
been given to crush out the rc"olt
by force. but Gen. Won Lettow IS
powcrless to act because of defec-
tions from the ranks of his men.
His soldiers are loath to fire upon
their own countrymen, and in many
instances have deserted to the ranks
of the rebels.
Here in Berlin the situation is rap
idly approaching a crisis. The streets
are barricaded Ike fortresses and
fighting became general today.
Last night the desultory fighting of
the day developed into number of
real battles and many are reported
killed and wounded. The government
is attempting to cope with the s!.ua-
ticn without resorting to the u.s. of
machine guns. but late last night it
was announced that further fighting
would necessitate extreme measures.
The government is keeping lose
censorship on all news concerning
the fighting here and little infor-
nation is obtainahe. - =
News that the Grown Prince had
escaped from Holland only in
creased the tensity of the situation.
Despite the internal revolt, the
new government has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation:
".Peace, is concluded. All efforts
must be directed toward fulfillment
of the treaty"
The governments position con-
tinucs precarious, though the CUES
tion of the new. peace delegation is
finally solved.
DR.. Hermann Mueller, the foreign
minister, has yielded at last to the
pressure from all sides, and will
head the delegation to sign peace
at Versailles. DR.. Johannes Bell
transition minister and in charge OF
winding up German colonial affairs
will accompany him. They will leave
Berlin today.
DR. Mueller fought stubbornly
against going, but the argument
that he should never have accepted
the foreign minister's portfolio If nc
were not willing to exercise its func
tions broke his resistance in the end

DONTS FOR MOTORISTS

Don't forget. above all else. that an
automobile is fine piece Of machin-
cry and that you will be repaid in ex-
cellence of service many times for the
care and attention given it.
Don't start on a trip without atten-
ton to lubricating oil. gasoline and
water.
Don't fail to keep your brakes ad-
justed. 1t may be more necessary 10
stop a car than to start it.
Don't leave the car alone with the
engine running.
Don't fail to release the band brake
before attempting to start.
Don't attempt to start the engine
unless the spark is retarded and the
switch key inserted and turned in the
switch.
Don't spend a lot of time cranking
the engine with the starter if it fails
to start after few trials. Look for
the cause of the trouble. Continuous
cranking runs down the battery.
Don't jam the gear-shifting lever
from low to reverse, or vice versa,
until the car has come to dead stop,
and then take your time.
Don't drive fast or apply brakes
suddenly on wet pavement J,
Don't fail to use plenty OF lubricat-
ing oil and grease where needed be-
fore starting on any trip and do not
use a cheap grade of oil or grease at
any time.
Don't neglect necessary adjustm ents
and repairs until it is too late and you
are laid up by the roadside.
Don't attempt to run the car on the
electric starter.
Don't start your car with a jerk.
Always engage the clutch gradually.
and see that the car starts off easily.

cause of many an auto accident. The
brakes should bind tightly when pres
sure Is applied, but they should be free
and clear when not in use. If brake
shoe binds when the pressure is re-
leased. it makes the car run hard.
Sometimes oil working out on to the
brake lining will cause the brakes to
slip. If you see this is the cause wash
the lining with gasoline and then see
that the leakage of grease from the rear
axle is stopped.
If it is worn Innings that cause the
brake to refuse to hold, then have the
brake refined.

of unequal adjustment.
A few drops of oil on the brake shoes
or bands occasionally and oiling of all
joints are essential to smooth opera
tionsof the brakes.
Your safety depends on the opera
