Washington, March 22.-The

settlement of the Turkish question,
it was learned upon excellent author
ity today. This government has pre-
pared its reply to the proposed Turk
ish settlement, forwarded here by tho
French premier and the reply insists
upon no action being taken which
may hamper the future of Russia,
and also insists upon large concesr

the allies. will declare that there is
no sound reason for allowing the
Turk to remain in Europe and will
refuse to accept the plea of Mo-
hammedans that such is necessary.

Joint interest" in Armenia and will
urge that nation be given as much
territory as it can take care of and
that it be given territory bounded by

WAR WITHOUT.
QUARTER BEGUN
Violent Pitched Battle Fought
Between Reds and Gov
ernment Troops.
SEEK CONTROL OF BERLIN
Spartacists Defeat Group of
Crack ,Troops-Aceused of
Torturing Captives.

Berlin. March -
Il. n. S.)--A war without quarter"
has begun for control of Berlin. A
violent pitched battle has been
fought between Sparticists and gov
ernment troops in the Adleshof dis
trict of tho city (where the working
classes live).
The communists overpowered a
company of government volunteers
and all of the officers were put to
death.
Twenty communists were killed
The ministry OF defense later an
nounced that twenty four COM
munist leaders had been shot against
the walk"
The communists ace accused of
torturing army officers who fell into
their hands.
Government troops are being
massed in the city for defense of the
government buildings The troops in
the northern part OF Berlin have
been drawn behind the Spree river
and the Hohenzolern canal.
A drizzle of rain, accompanied by
fog, set in last night. Flashes from
rifles and machine guns punctuated
the murk in the suburbs.
1t is regarded as significant here
that the Spartacists were able to de-
feat the crack government troops in
Westphalia. Two regiments of ma
tional guard troops which were
forced to retreat fought their way
through Oberhausen and Duisburg to
the Wesel.
One regiment lost ten officers
killed and the other lost three Off
GERS. Three guns which could not
be taken along were destroyed by
the soldiers. Others fell into the
hands of the communists.
