 Copenhagen. Jan. 1S.-~-Spartacus adherents te Berlin evacuated the i printing plants of Mosse twhere the l Tageblatt is puhlished) and T-Tsteiu and the building occupied by the Wolff Bureau Saturday night. Those | who were captured were released after | having surrendered their weapons and 1 ammunition according to a Berlin despatch arriving here via Frankfort. | London, Sunday, Jan. 12-The armsitice between the contending fac tions at Berlia has been broken and | fighting has hRen resumed, according | to Copenhagen advices received here. The Spartacans still hold part of the Tageblatt building, it is said. Reports from Berlin indicate that the Spartacan forces have lost 800 killed since the outbreak of the revo- lution, and many more wounded. Government troops numbering 3. coo arrived in Berlin on Saturday but with the strengthening of it's military forces the Cabinet is reported to be losing it's political influence among the masses. Twenty eight mass meet ings were planned for today at Der lin for the purpose of offsettng this l trend. These meetings, which were to be addressed by ministers and party leaders, were expected to lead to a renewal of the collisions with the Spartacans.
 It is reported that several banks and shops were plundered by moba Saturday and that great armed crowds are continually parading the streets.
 l Spartacan leaders had been able tn conclude an armistice on fairly even terms. It was stipulated that govern ment troops should not be reinforced during the truce nor resume opera tions without a half days notice The capture of the Vorwaerts building is considered rather im- | portant strategtcally, interfering with the Spartacan communications with outlying detachments. The building was badly damaged by artillery fra and was coming down over the heada of the defenders before they sur 1 rendered.
 The arrest of Georg Ledebour, leader of the independent Socialists is looked upon as ending his rela, tions with the cabinet and prasum- ably terminating the Clandestine ne gotiations looking 10 a compromise of existing difficulties by arrange ment for the disappearance of par ticularly objectionable persons on both sides and the postponement of the elections for the National Assem- bly. There is no confirmation of tha report that Dr. Liebknecht has been killed He has. however, faded from sight with Chief of Police Eichhorn His disappearance may have givel
 rise to reports of his death or ar rest.
 Spartacan forces outside of Berlin
 have been able to a certain extent to interfere with the arrival of gov ernment endorsements. At Lau; sche,
 near Leipsic. they are reported to have disarmed three train loads oi troops on their wag to Berlin.
 Government forces have captured the police headquarters after a shor. bombardment.
 The troops fired a few shells and then waited to see what effect had been made upon the Spartacans When the latter failed to yield, two men were sent forward with q white flag, demanding the surrenrer of the Spar tacans. They were fired upon and killed.
 Artillery fire was then resumed and the Spartacans began trying to fee. The soldiers thereupon stormed the building and took several hundretl prisoners. No government troops were killed in this encounter The Bolshevists arc said to have lost B killed and many wounded. The sol . diers were enraged at the sooting o< the white fog bearers, and the Bol- shevistz are said to have fared badly in the final clash.
