Punish Guilty.

Berlin. = The government OF Presi-
dent Ebert. which left Berlin when DR..
Wolfgang Kapp and his reactionary
troops entered the city, is again in
power In the capital. President Ebert
and the members of his ministry reach
ed here at IL o'clock Sunday morning
from Stuttgart
Public services have in measure
been re-established. and 1t is hoped
that Berlin will soon resume its nor
NAL activities, though 1t will be long
time before the damage. material and
moral, Will be repaired.
The immensely of the damage caused
in Germany by the revolution and the
consequent uprising and the govern
ment's present determination to prose
cute the guilty were voiced by Presi-
dent Ebert.
The situation In parts Of the country
appears serious. From the group of
Industrial centers on the Rhine and
the Ruhr district continue to come re-
ports of spartacan agitation. In sew
eral places. particularly the Ruhr dis
trict, the spartncans are said to be in
absolute control. Here their available
force is estimated at 10000 men.
Concentration of loyal government
forces. however. is taking place and
their arrival at the scenes of disorder
Is expected to bring quiet.
While the resignation of Gustav
Noske, minister OF defense, has been
demanded by tie radicals, 1t is con
sidercd probable that he will retain
his post for time at least in order
to restore the confidence of the Berlin
population generally.
