Berlin Situation Subsiding
BERLIN, March 20.-Something OF

late today and the only reports of a
nature came from cities and
towns outside the capital, principally
those in the Rhine industrial centers,
where local soviet governments and
regimes are declared to
have been set up. To what extent the
reds are in control is not definitely
known, but. there are serious disorders
of all kinds among the laboring eIe-

cepted.
Fear of AN attack by the commun-
lists, who yesterday were reported TO be
on Berlin. has caused great
tension among the police and military,
who have taken all precautions. A

city as far as Schoenberg. This is res

short lived regime of DR.. kapp, re-
suited in much disorganization, was

having arrived from Stuttgart this
morning. These ministers participated
in the negotiations which eliminated
in the settlement of labor difficulties.
No momentous decision relative TO
the future conduct of affairs in Ger
many is looked for before the arrival
here of President Ebert and the other
members of his ministry. Various quar-
ters predict changes in the make up OF
the government. Word comes from
