LONDON. March 25-Though the sit

break in Germany is still dangerous, the
Communists are being overcome by the
forces of law and order, according to re-
ports from the different centers, says a
Central News despatch from Berlin today.
At Eisleben, where the situation yester-
day was critical, the police, the report
states. have driven out the Communists,
who have entrenched themselves in the
neighboring hills and are directing ma
chine gun fire on the police strongholds.
The troops are marching on the city over
the highways as railway communication
has been destroyed.
There has been no repetition of the dis
orders in Hamburg, where the police are
masters of the situation.
Investigation of the Communist attempt
to blow up the statuary in Berlin is de
clared to have revealed the existence of
a widespread conspiracy of violence,
which was to have been started today.

and an air of gloom! There are
MANY people not strong-willed
enough to combat the germ OF
despondency, and when you air
YOUR pessimism in their presence
it's the same as though you scat
tered a horde OF disease germs
around them. They all go down
with the malady.
And these same people are just
as susceptible to the JOY germ
as they are to the gloom germ.
They have no resistance-they
catch whatever comes along.
What would you rather be-
a spreader OF disease or the doc
tor who cures that disease? 9th

sowing the garm of gloom. Don't
aggregate the malady! Instead,
go about with a smile and a
cheerful word, and watch your
germ OF optimism overcome the
