Berlin, Friday-A general strike was
called here today and the independent
socialist organ, Die Frieheit. opened
up an editorial broadside, as result
OF the execution OF Levine Nissen, the
Bavarian communist leader. It be-
came evident today that another
spartacan attempt against the gov
ernfnent may be a further result of
the execution.
The Spartacan movement has been
in course of preparation the last sew
eral weeks because of the outcome
OF the trials or the sIayers of DR..
L.ieblnecht and Rosa Luxerhurg. the
escape OF military officers imprison-
ed for killing Spartacan leaders and
the stern rules of Gustav Eos<e, min
lister OF national defense. The situa-
tion has furnished independent So
claligts, Epartacans and extremists
with handy ammunition. Followers
OF Hugo Haase were today said to
be predicting the overthrow of Ebert
and Scheidemann within eight days.
Disorder reigned In Munich all
night, according to advices from there
today. Machine gun firing was heard
internationally. The reason was un-
known when the dispatches We're sent.
Newspapers are unable to appear and

has extended to Nuremburg and
Fuerth.

such a way that the dealers won't
dare go back because it will mean

There have been a few objectors
