MSORDERS CONTINUE IN 7 BERLIN FOLLOWING REVOLT
Many Additional Casualties, Both Killed and Wounded Ees suited From Clashes During Thursday Night and Friday Reports From Cities in Various Parts of Germany Tell of Continued Operations by the Radicas-The Ebert Government Still Remains in Stuttgart

Berlin, March 1s (By the A. P.).-, Berlin has not yet succeeded in | emerging from the chaos into which it | was thrown when Dr. Wolfgang Kapp l and his associates by a coup d'etat l took over the government a week ago. Although most all, if not all, of the troops which formed the backbone of the revolt have left the city proper, disorders continued spasmodically during Thursday night and Friday. Many additional casualties, both in killed and wounded, occurred during this period.
 In addition to further shooting. in which a number of persons were killed or maimed in front of the Hotel Ad- lon, three officers were shot dead and one officer was mortally wounded at 1 o'clock by members of the security police stationed at the guardhouse at the Brandenburg Gate. The police ordered an automobile bearing the of fieers, who were reported to have been members of the Baltic force which in- vaded Berlin, to halt. Thereupon a crowd surrounded the car and the off, cers opened fire with revolvers on civilians. An armored motor car ap- peared upon the scene and the soldiers in 1t threw hand grenades into the officers car and simultaneously the police fired with their rifles upon it. The three officers fell dead and the other toppled over, wounded. Unter Den Linden was crowded at the time and the explosions of the grenades | caused a panic Six civilians were
 wounded by the bursting missiles and
 were taken for medical aid into the l Hotel Adlon.
 In the early morning two persons Y were killed and seven were wounded l in disorders which ended in street ! fighting.
 There was much disorder last night 1 in the outlying sections of Berlin in ! the worlxmen's districts east and north 1 of the city. and even in the semi ] fashionable Schoenenberg section. where it Is reported that twelve un-
 armed army officers leaving the city
 on a truck were dragged off the ve- hiole by a mob and severely beaten 1 and several of them killed.
 Reports from cities and towns In ! various parts of Germany tell of con-
 tiTl ed operations by radicals. but in
 some of the. cities the radical move
 ment seemingly is waning and work
 men were returning to their jobs. This is especially true in south Germany.
 The expectation had been that Pres
 ident Ebert and his faithful ministers ! 1 Gustav Noske, minister of defense, and Dr. Schiffer, minister of defense. snd , aid them in their efforts to stabilize the situation. Information from Stutt- , gart. however. is to the effect that the
 departure of the Ebert government tc
 the capital has been postponed and : that it's appearance here cannot be ex- poeted before Sunday and possibly no F until next Tuesday.
 | According to present plans. the na'
 tional assembly members will lcav'
 Stuttgart in time to attend a meeiin. 2 of the assembly in Berlin on Tuesday V Hope had been entertained that witt l tac overthrow of the rtlived Kapl . regime conditions resembling. even il
 a small measure. those prevailing il
 normal times. might return. but mos e of the strikers in Berlin continued to d day 10 absent themselves from thei |. posts. Consequently the population $ still was experiencing difficulty in ob
 taining supplies.
 Until the disturbed railroad situa k. tion again is brought to normal th o situation will remain acute. Some c if the railroads have made attempts | d resume service. but their efforts hsv
 not proved altogether successful. On
 train is reported to have arrived l d Cologne from Berlin this morning th m journey having been without inciden l., and one will leave Cologne for Berli )O tomorrow morning. Another trai e reached Frankfort from Berlin durin
 the day but a train from Lignif ,e bound for Berlin found the track tor a- up at Erfurt and could not reach tt l. capital.
 is When the attack on the officers oS ,s cured in the Schoenenberg sectio
 last night a mob first surrounded Il
 truck In which they were riding. Son I, of the worlmen climbed up on Il .' truck and dissuaded the people fro - injuring the officers owing to the fa' es that they were not armed. The truc -e was permitted to proceed. but whe Ill it reached Klonnenstrasse another mo
 dragged off the officers and beat the
 mercilessly.
 r. This morning Spartacan placart a- were seen in various parts of the cit D. These accused Nosle of resDonsibilit f in the formation of the Kapp-vc in Luettwitz dictatorship.
