which will take place there a week
from today when the Duke of York

king married a commoner in the
abbey was in 1869 when Edmond
Crouchback was welded to Aveline

of Albemarle.
An interesting feature rising out
Of the fact that. the Duke of York's

TOWN Of MULHE|M
SWEPT BY ATTACKS
Of COMMUNIST MOB

e MCLHEIAI, April 20.-(By the As
soc'ated Press. AFTER being ter
rorizad for three days by the com,
munst mobs which held it, Mulheim
today is again under control of the
constituted German authorities.
The force of 800 police and city
officials which had been besieged in
the Rathaus made a sortie from this
great fortress-like building this
morning, cut through the lines of
the besiegcrs, caught them in the
rear, arrested many. and again took
control Of the city.
Forty of the rioters leaders were
arrested when the municipal author
tiles again took control.
The dispatches telling of the rails
ing of the siege say the beleaguered
police were able to hold out until
the arrival of police reinforcements
from Oberhausen and Duisburg, who
forced the barricades across the
roads leading into the city.
p" The disturbers are said to have
become we'll armed through plumber
ing the shops. Messengers had to be
used in summoning help from the
nearby towns, because Muelheim' s
transport service had been idle for
weeks.
The communist red guards as
the special dispatches refer to the
rioters, removed all their dead and
wounded. The messages state that
some of the wounded were taken to
the barracks of the French occupa-
ton forces.
Leader Fatally Wounded
Thirty leaders of the besiegers
were arrested. One of them, man
named Kurten, is said to have been
the leader of the Kiel revolution in
1918. He resisted arrest, and was
wounded probably fatally.
The casualty list for the period of
disorders, so far as made. up this
morning, showed eight dead and
from sixty to seventy wounded,
some of whom may die.
The French troops remained
throughout the trouble in or near
the security barracks which they
are occupying. They took no part
in the affair, which they regarded
as purely local.
Burgomaster Lempke, with 300
city employees and Il detachment of
security police who are supposed to
have been summoned from Duisburg
and elsewhere in anticipation of
trouble, had been besieged since
Wednesday. They had an ample
supply of food and ammunition, and
were easily able to hold the building
which is surmounted by a 250-foot
tower. the highest point in the city
On this lofty perch the burgomaster
stationed sharpshooters, who were
thus able to pick off members OF
attacking parties.
The besieging forces, who called
themselves the unemployed, num-
bered about 1000, but the burgo-
master declares there are only 800
unemployed men in Muelheim. Many
of the besiegers were merely trouble
makers, led by communists, he de-
