,Spartacus Element Grad
 ually Losing Ground.

London, Thursday. Jan. 9-The Ebert government is steadily gaining control in Berlin and the Spartacus element is gradually losing ground, though still showing great determin- ation,. according to the latest news from the German capital. Fighting ragged through Tuesday night and up till noon Wednesday.
 Gustav Noske, who was placed in usssrge Of the governments defensive measures seems to havs matters well in hand. He has gained control of the railways and is bringing large forces of troops into the city where a state of siege has been declared.
 Many of the despatches received have been without dates, and 1t Is assumed that all were censored. According to the Neueste Nachrich- ten of Leipzic, the government has the upper hand in the center of the city, but the Spartacans hold the east end and the suburbs The newspa- per says a division of guards 5000 strong, has arrived.
 The Frankfort Gazette says the Re publican guard, consisting of 5000 men, which was Chief of Police Eic- chorn's guard. has placed itself at the disposal of the government, and that the Berlin garrison. which has been neutral, also has placed itself in the ! side of the government. Another semi official statement emanating from Frankfort says the government has at It's disposal 10000 loyal troops
 The Frankfort Nachrichten says the : government scored a success. cutting the telephonic communications of the prefecture of police, which was in fSpartacan hands. One bad sign is the complete suspension of the street car system of Berlin, owing to a dispute over wages.
 There have been various reports of the Ebert government resigning, and the possible occupation of Berlin by Entente and American troops. None of these rumors has been confirmed,

Buenos Aires, Thursday, Jan. g. Commenting on North American ac- ttvities in South American markets, the newspaper La Prensa today, after alluding to tariff conditions which have prevailed, says:
 North America has been exporting less than a tenth of her products, be- cause they were needed internally and because her tariff policy pre- vented exports which in turn would have made American goods known ,n other lands.

 Allow me to acknowledge with sin cere appreciation your kind invitation to be present at the joint session of the congress to be held in the hall of the house of representatives at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Wednesday Sept. IS, 1919, to welcome John J. Pershing and to say how deeply I regret that it is impossible for me to be there. I have already expressed to General Pershing and to the sol diers of the First division what I am sure is the heartfelt welcome and ad- miration of the whole people, but it is a matter of special regret to me that I was not able to be present in New York and can not be present with the congress in extending to him the greet ings and the praise he deserves.

We welcome you with praise and with thanksgiving that our be- loved country has produced such men, such champions of her own rights and of the rights of free men everywhere. It is an added pleasure that in vel coming you home we may at the same time welcome your gallant and distin- guished commander. Your work is done, gallantly and nobly done. It now remains for us who gave you oc- casion to see that what you did is made forever complete by the concert of all the nations who love peace and pursue justice"

PETER TREATS THE TWINS
By the Story Lady

The twins were celebrating the first afternoon after school by taking long nap. Peter, who had a new respect for the twins since they were really big enough to go to school asked to take some of his own money and go to the store and get them candy.
 He came back with a big sack full and without touching it himself, sat down to wait for the twins to wake. But the twins were worn out with the excitement of their day at school and slept on.
 Peter paced from the nursery to the girls bedroom till Mamma begged him to take some of the candy himself and go play But Peter wouldn't do it, He was going to give that candy to the girls himself. He settled down in the big chair to wait with the candy in his lap. He went to sleep and dreamed that he had his toy pistol in school and was pointing 1t at the teacher. It went off with an awful bang and Peter sprang to his feet scattering candy everywhere.
 The awful bang was a terrible clap of thunder and it brought the twins flying from their beds and screaming for Mamma
 Here's some candy. girls. Thank goodness you're awake at last"
