Berlin, Jan. 16.-Details Of the
proclamation of the independent COM
munistic (spartacan) republic of
Bremen are contained in a specfal
dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger. The
governing council is composed of
three members each from the inde-
pendent socialists, the Spartacans and
the soldiers council. The senate has
been compelled to surrender its au-
thority and the press has been placed
under a preventive censorship and
compelled to publish proclamations
of the new government.
The Spartacains are carrying on a
vigorous agitation throughout north
western Germany. Attempts to seize
the power at Delmenhorst and Will
helmshaven failed. At Delmenh orst
the citizens joined the majority So
cialists in putting down the agitators.
At Wilhelmshaven the Spartacans
seized the offices of the Tageblatt and
Zeitung but loyal soldiers compelled
the Spartacans and the Independent
Socialists to surrender and lay down
their arms.
Dispatches dated in Wilhelmshaven

which were quartered 490 marines
had joined the Independents, had
been surrounded by the, government

Riba contends that the election
judges at Forman, Sargent county,
locked doors Of voting place while

judges took this step, affidavits de-
clare, because of the influenza epi-
