it Is said, in the dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph company.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is re-
ported to have arrived in Berlin.
Street fighting has been particularly
sanguinary, it is said, owing TO the fact
that the Spartacus element has plenty
OF weapons taken from the munition
factories at Spandau. While the ma
chine guns we're firing and bombs were
dropping, moving picture operators we're
busily recording the scenes enacted in
the streets.
II was announced recently that the
American army had sent moving picture
operators to Berlin.
The dislocation Of the telegraphs serv-
ice has resulted in receipt fsre on only
meagre and scattered reports of what
has been happening in Berlin, but all
the dispatches agree that severe street
fighting occurred on Tuesday.

distinguished himself considerably in the
military training that he received in the
Norwich training corps while student
at that university Previous to his en-
tering the service he was widely known

NEARING THE END.
Williams Malfeasance Case Concerned
Over Vouchers.

Voucher 4,50l is playing an important
part in the trial of State vs.. Frank G.
Williams of Newport, state bank com
missioner who is charged with malfeas-
ance in failure To report conditions in the
state auditors office, The state used the
voucher in ross-examination of the re-
spondent's witness, j. Il. Joslyn, and lat
or in rebuttal when r S. Pratt testified
in the case. The latter claimed that
some of the temized accounts that were
passed by the auditor and allowed in the
department voucher 4.50l should not
have been allowed and those not allowed
help to make up the alleged shortage.
The $1,000 voucher which was in evil
dence earlier in the trial was again made
prominent. This time evidence was in
troduced to show that the item was
passed by Mr.. Williams and that Mr.
Graham drew an order for $1,000 in favor
Of the highway department and then paid
the order on a White River Junction
bank, all regular enough; but the state
tried to show that the 5000 was also
paid into the state treasury. This the
defense claimed did not effect the re-
spondent's case but might be damaging
TO the Graham case; in fact, it seemed
to be the opinion that it was the reason
il was inserted into this case. The re-
naming 81 600 was allowed as justi-
fable account.
+, S. Pratt, the accountant, testified
to-day regarding the method of detecting
erasures and the substitution of other
words or figures, going at some length
into the details of the matter. The re
spondent, Williams, was on the stand
later in the forenoon, after which the at
torneys began their arguments. States
Attorney r. R. Davis Of Barre made the
opening plea for the state and was fol-
lowed by Attorney J. Ward Carver for
the respondent. The other arguments
were made this afternoon.

of an acid-stomach-indig sour,
gassy, stomach; distressing heart
burn; sickening food-repeating; pain
full bloat and that miserable, puffed-

of these people have tried treatment

and stomach specialists and some to
hospitals, but in spite of all of their
efforts they have obtained no lasting
relief or a permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean acid

Hun Strike, Planned
As Revolution Wedge,
Broken, London Hears

London, March 6.-The Sparta
cans, whose general strike in Ber-
lin was to be the start of a nation
wide revolution, apparently have
been reduced to the extremity of a
few forlorn last stands in isolated
.ections of the city.
Dispatches from various sources
today indicated that the strike has
been broken by a combination of
military demonstrations by the
government and only half-hearted
support from the workers. Several
armed clashes occurred, but the
casualties were comparatively
light.
The government, in suppressing
the radicals employed two military
devices which hitherto had never
figured in street fighting-tanks
and barbed wire entanglements.
After using tanks to smash barri-
cades, erected by the Spartacans,
the government troops built barbed
wire entanGlements about the sec
tions where the rioters were still
holding out. In the previous
Spartacan revolt government forces
used poison gas, aerial bombs and
prepared to use liquid fire.
Plundering was still going on to
some extent. it was reported. AL
though food shops were the prin-
cipal objects of pillaging. many
tewelry stores and small banks
nave been robbed.
