(By the Associated Press.

Large sections of Germany are resounding to the rattle of machine gun and rifle fire in the civil war fare which since the beginning of the Berlin revolt last Saturday is esti- mated by some Berlin computators to have cost 2,000 lives.
 The industrial district in the Rhineland appears to be the strong hold of the ultra extremist forces, which are reported to have captured Essen, the home of the krupp plant, the important industrial centers of Duesseldorf and Elberfeld and other towns in this region. The Sparta cans at Essen are declared in one report to have had an army of 1OO,- 900 men with artillery and armored cars.
 Allies Arc Worried.
 Advices from Cologne reflect wor- riment by the Allies over the situa- ton in the Rhine district close to the occupied area: One report which is unconfirmed declares there are in dictations that they are preparing to advance further into Germany if the situation does not improve.
 Berlin is Paralyzed.
 Berlin is still paralyzed by strikes and the comm uniStS are reported to be gaining ground there. Clashes resulting in casualties have occurred in numerous quarters about the city.
 In Leipsic the Ebert forces appear to be regaiming control after a bloody conflict. At Eiel where the workers recently gained controd. Conditions are quiet for 3he moment Three Ger man cruisers there were seized by their sailors, according to Hamburg dispatches.
 In view of the still disturbed con- ditions in Berlin it is said in dis patches from Stuttgart that the na- tional assembly will continue it's sessions there until the capital be- comes quieter. The Ebert govern ment is apparently still maintaining its headquarters in that city.
