berg. After heavy fighting, the gov
eminent troops drove the reds out,
combing the industrial district to the
south around Wanheim and the woods
toward Mulheim, where the scattered
reds are believed to have fled.
Duisberg, Rhenish Prussia.-Reich-
wehr troops marched into Duisburg
and cleared out the radical element
Of the red army in pitched battles In
the streets. Machine gun and rifle
bullets swept the business district Ike
a driving rain, artillery threw solid
shot and shrapnel and hand grenades
were tossed. There was hOuse-to-
house fighting in some quarters. Four
citizens were killed and a number were
injured. A child was killed on the
Belgian side OF the Rhine and a Bel
gidn soldier was shot in the hand. The
reichswehr n and he'd casualties, 1t
is Officially announced, were light.
A detachment Of police undertook to
search houses for resisting reds,a while
the government artillery took up a po-
sition north of the old gates Of Duis-
burg, from which spot 1t placed shots
where the reds were grouped, princi-
.pally In the high school grounds.
The first shots between the troops
and the reds were fired In Kaiser
berg. on the eastern end Of the city.
Fighting soon followed In the down.
town streets of Duisburg, the reichs-
wehr advancing from corner to cor
ner, driving the reds before them.
Remnants Of the melting reds gath
cred around Bismarck's monument,
fled when the troops charged.
The reds, who numbered only 200 or
300, were driven out within two and
a half hours, but desultOry fighting
continued into the night, as small
nests of the radical element were To-
Gated and cornered. The number Of
reds captured vas not announced.
The correspondent saw reds who
had been captured passing through the
streets with their hands in the air.
Citizens said that reds were executed,
but this is denied. No brutal acts were
observed.
The city, which has lived In a state
of fear for three weeks, took the mat
ter coolly. The street cars continued
operating in all parts Of the town ex-
cept where the fighting was hot but
cellars were popular.
