Terrifying Scenes

Continued from roe One

possible, the crowds were even larger
than yesterday, There was tho usual
etump speaking and occasional violent
disturbances of a localized nature. It
seemed that unless the Government
found the energy to havo tho whole
place cleared thcro was bound to bo
another massacre.
It Is rumored that there will bo nn
attack on tho Chancellor's palace soon.
It Is also rumored that tho Govern
ment Is expecting additional and re
liable troops, though not a great num
ber, from neighboring towns. It Is
also rumored that Hlndenbitrg hag ar

can ho verified, tho Government offi
cials being too busy or preferring to
leave the puhlla In tho dark.
Elchhorn still rules supremo at po

commissioners dismissed him. he snld,
ho had received the offlco from tho

Elchhorn Ignores Dismissal
Klchhorn, however, Ignores this dis
missal, as he did tho People's commis
sioners. Ho now holds the decUlon of
the executive ccmmlttec Invalid, because
h had no chance to defend himself.
With him at pollco headquarters are
Llfbknccht and Rosa Luxemburg, con-
elderlng the advisability of forming a

cans are mil inciinea 10 no k -
tempt at dislodging the Peoples Com-
mlssloners from Wllhelmstrasse.
The Independent Leader Haase, who
has seemed shocked by tho turn events
havo taken, now proposes to mediate
between the rioters and the Government,
but It Is certain the former will refuse
I any terms or concessions tho People's
! Commissioners might make. "Nleder!
Mt,iert Nteder 1" with all of them Is tho
1 motto of these rioters.
The Government for tho, first time yes.
terday proved Its determination to end
the Spartacan terror nt whatever cost.
It has not succeeded so far. but prob-
ably will succeed today or tomorrow.
No doubt la felt that the People's
Commissioners are actuated by the best
and most humnuo Intentions, but they
certnlnly lack experience, and It Is be
lieved that crimes against tho public
safety could be prevented by a demon
stration of force. The Berlin Bourgeoisie
nrguo that when the commissioners ex
amined Klchhorn at the Chancellor's

would havo justified his Immediate

But In this desperate hope they were

In many cases the Ppartncans were si

by desultory shooting nnd bomb-throw-Ing

Up to 4 o'clock no concerted attack

tho awful bloodshed which It might caus0
