Summary Of German Situation.
(By The Associated Press

Berlin, notwithstanding the return
of the Ebert government to control
there, still presents pretty much the
aspect Of an armed camp. with the
food supply short and sanguinary
fighting occurring at intervals in the
suburbs.
Serious trouble occurred in the
Noabt industrial quarter Sunday night
and in one conflict reported Sunday
20 Spartacans were killed in an en-
gagement and "a others who were cap
tured were executed.
In the Ruhr industrial region, inn
medlately adjoining the allied zone
Of occupation, there Is veritable civil
warfare, with opposing armies OF
communist and government troops
drawing up their forces In line for
battle Government detachments have
been defeated in some preliminary
skrmishes.
Leipsic has quieted down after the
government victory there. Among the
agricultural population in some sec
tlons OF northern Germany there Is
increasing unrest.
Southern and eastern Germany are
reported fairly quiet. There is n threat,
however, OF n renewal OF the general
strike in Bavaria because Of dlssatls-
faction over some Of the terms Of set
tlement.

the wells which We're given shots. In

ed these things express the opinion
that by all means nltroglycerine
should not be allowed to be brought
