and majority socialists.
The klDert group has agreed that
the communist leaders in control of
the uprising in west Germany shall
not be punished.
Germany was threatened today with
a serious food shortage. especially in
Berlin and the larger cities, unless i'm
mediate measures are taken to restore
the country's demoralized traffic, ac-
cording to semi-ofhcial advices here.
There was hope In Official quarters
that the Ebert governments final con-
cession for reorganization of the ce5i-
net will result in early resumption OF
railway service, enabling the nation
to send food into the famine-threat-
ened areas.
A majority of the railway workers
were expected back at their posts be-
fore the end of the week.
Observers here believed the Ebert
group gave in to the radicals sweep
ing demands only when they had ex-
hausted all possibility of opposition
and was confronted with open revo-
luton.

rising has occurred in Pomernia, the
