German capital The large factories were
working normally and the railway and tram
service were not interrupted. Strong indigL'
alton is expressed in every branch of in

dependents, the despatch adds, because the
leaders hid behind the machine guns,
while the masses were driven forward To
face the guns of the soldiers.
