ment is again in control in Berlin
Vice chancellor Schiller, in whose
hands the sudden retirement OF Dr.
Wolfgang Kapp temporarily placed
administrative power, and Gustav
Noske, minister of defense, are en-
city and restoring activities to their
normal basis. The full ministry is ex-
pected back in Berlin tomorrow.
Regular troops, loyal to the Ebert
regime, are guarding the streets. and
detachments Of them spent part OF the
day in tearing down wire entangie-
ments and barricades which the rev.
olutionary soldiers had erected in pro-
fusion. In this connection there was
az unfortunate accident the firing OF
a mine to destroy a barricade at Kott-
bUser, in southeastern Berlin, killing
II persons and injuring 2s.
The Baltic troops, leaders of the In
surgent bands that marched into Ber-
lin Saturday morning, took vengeance
on the people who hooted and jeered
them in Wilhelmstrasse and Unter Den
Linden. They were lined up for de-
rarture from the city and after with
standing the jeers for a time more or
less impatiently they opened fire,
wcunding several.
kapp Troops Fire On People
After the troops had passed Bran
denburg gate they fired a parting Vol-
ley with machine guns, woundinE =
score or more, and the terrified mob
rushed to the Adlon hotel the gates
OF which were torn down in the ensu-
ing panic.
DR.. Kapp's descent upon Berlin and
his subsequent retreat has precipi-
tated parliamentary chaos
The coalition parties must construc.
new cabinet, which is expected TO re
veal at least half a dozen new faces,
with the prospect of further minis
trial changes as result of the June
elections.
The assembly will not be dissolved
Immediately because it must first ap-
prove the budget, dispose of further
taxation measures and the law decree
ing the naturalization of the railways
and pass a new election law.
Urge Punishment For Insurgents
There are conflicting reports con-
corning amnesty for the rebels and
this matter promises stormy scenes in
the coming meeting OF the assembly,
as the popular feeling in Berlin now
tavors severe punishment for Kapp
and his adherents.

Ihere were fewer disturbances sp
Berlin last night than any night since
the beginning of the revolution Sax-
erai detachments of troops were sent
away, but the majority were here this
morning. Wflhelmstrasse was crowd
ed with them, all carrying hand gren-
ades; several squads trundled machine
guns and flame throwers When the
Baltic troops have all left the work
the city Will be undertaken
by regular government troons oar
rlsoned in Berlin, and the security
police.
During the late hours of the night
great excitement prevailed, though
many OF the population remained in
doors Newsboys with single sheet
editions of the Morgen Post and Vos-
slsche Zeitung Were literally mobbed.
SO eager was the desire to obtain news
winch had been so long denied.
Agitators Draw Mobs
Agitators appeared early in the
morning and quickly drew crowds. In
Wilhelmstrasse a soldier harangl,ed a
group or comrades and civilians with
TRADE against foreigners. There was
a fresh outbreak of agitation against
Jews, many of the street speakers call
ing upon the people to keen them ont
of public office.
A strange ariplane drew thousands
OF eyes as it dropped leaflets signed
League of Professional Soldiers OF
Germany" which stated that it was
opposed to a new government and
would recognize only the government
