GERMANY ARMS
|. AGAINST RIOTS

BERLIN. Jan. 16 G.NSO.-
Vigorous measures were taken by
the German government today to
apprehend the leaders of the
Communist riots in various parts
Of the country which resulted in
toll Of five dead and scores
wounded.
+ The cities and towns which
we're chiefly affected by the dis
turbanceS were turned into vir-
tual armed camps. with heavily
armed police patrolling the streets
to prevent any further outbreaks.
The riots are believed to have
been an attempt by Communist
factions to overthrow the govern
ment.
The riots were swelled to dam
gerous portions by malcontentS
among German unemployed, who
now total approximately 100000
persons.
The belief that a revolutionary
plot may have been behind the
riots arose from the fact that the
outbreaks occurred simultaneously
in such widely separated areas
as Chemnitz, Worms, Magdeburg
and Berlin. In all these cities
police guards have been doubled
and all public buildings heavily
patrolled.
Berlin was in a state approach
ing martial law last night, with
police stationed at every corner,
and every attempt by Commu-
nists to stage meetings broken up
with police using their truncheons
