the British premier is said to have

Lloyd George is now between two

ian colleagues, the premier must bear
in mind his prediction pledges and
the now apparent determination OF
the conservative parliament to hold

Berlin, April .-Wurzberg has
been captured and Munich entirely
surrounded by forces of the deposed
socialist government, according to
dispatches. After retreating from
Nuremburg to Bramberg, Premier
Hoffman of Bavaria and several of
his ministers are reported to have
succeeded in rallying formidable
anti-soviet Wurzburg from the boil
sheviki after a brief encounter yes
terday. Most soviet officials and
soldiers are said to have surrendered.
Another force surrounded Munich,
completely isolating it. In Berlin the
situation is tense. The city is quiet,
however, under siege conditions di-
rected by War Minister Noske The
government has taken special pre-
cautions to protect the Red Cross
mission housed in the American en-
bassy The square in front of the
building is bristling with machine
guns and armed motor cars are con-
stantly patrolling.
The Scheidemann government,
which has been temporarily removed
to Weimar, is reported as increas-
ingly optimistic regarding the Ba-
varian situation. The restoration of
socialist control is believed to have
a least an even chance.
The general strike in Saxony and
the Ruhr districts is reported as
growing, but the government has
succeeded in retaining control in
Madgeburg (the capital of Saxony)
Street fighting in that city resulted

The department has cabled for
more information. From the mes
sage received today officials were un-
able to ascertain whether condi-
tion of mutiny had in fact developed
in the last 10 days. Pending fuller
advices no comment was forthcom-
ing as to the course to be pursued.
Relief Soon, Says Department.
Presumably, it was said, Colonel
Stewart already had been advised
directly that it was the purpose of
the supreme war council, in charge
of the policy governing the move
ment, to withdraw the entire force
from northern Russia when the ice
bloclading the harbors goes out.
The British relief expedition, orig
inally scheduled to be 2,400 strong,
has sailed, as have the two COM
panies of American railway engi-
neers sent at the request of the Brit
ish authorities to keep open the rail
road south of Murmansk.
The dispatch today did not show
to what extent bolshevist propagan-
dists could be held responsible for
the behavior of the troops nor has
any information reached the depart
ment tending to show the extent to
which the rebellious attitude may
have spread through the whole
American contingent.
The 339th infantry of the Eighty
fifth division forms the bulk of the
American contingent in the Arch
angel region. The unit is composed
almost wholly of selective service
men from Michigan.
Mutiny, But Forgiven.
The action of the company at Arch
angel undoubtedly is mutinous under
any strict Interpretation of the mil,
itary code and would render the mel
liable to severe disciplinary action
under ordinary circumstances, but

dict such action would result. /
