Government troops entered Gotha
today to round up leaders of workers
and search the city for arms and am
munition. A long column of troops
was passed by the correspondent
when he left Gotha and his luggage
was searched several times by sol
diers before he was able to get clear
of the armed forces gathered there.

towns and cities of Lower Saxony, but
there is an impression their ascend
ancy will be short lived as they are
not sufficiently organized in a mill
tary way to resist pressure success
fully.

comes to districts where government
troops are in power the weaker is the
workers hold on affairs.

government forces are too weak" he
said, but if it comes we will resist"
