BERLIN BOLSHEVIKS WILD MEN RUN RIOTS WANT t AMERICAN OCCUPATION By FRANK J. TAYIXDR United Press Staff Correspondent Berlin. ( Bt Ma il Bolshevisms recent struggle in Berlin was in many ways an American war carried on In a modern city, if you cau imagine that. The Spartacus group went on the war path after the fashion if prairie tribes in America three gene rations ago. In their- fighting the Spartacanp showed about the same degree of civilization as did the Indi- To understand how such a war fare, could- take place in a modern city one has- to realize that Berlin was harioring many conyicrs reBase! from prison by the turn of the earlier revolution. Most of these despera does are not political victims., bu were jailed for killing and robbing. Since they had eyenrthiug to gain and noth ing to lose by the lolshevlk movement. they leagued themselves with the Spartacus group, ami; for good payl"r,ri1 ",lw B-W)e- u were ready to commit any outrage pre scrjled. The bolsheviks were simply wild men run ritt. After tllf government's volunter ar my had defeated the organized Spar tacus resistance, trouble- did not stop. Spartai-ans lurked in hundreds of buildings, more or less fugitives from justice. From roofs, behind chim neiys, from attics and windows, they sniped at government guards and ev en civilians, with lio chance of ac complishing anything other than kill ing. In the course of a day's work you would run into three or four or possi bly half a dozen of these outbreaks, or street fights, as they were reported in the papers. At the first shots, crowds would dive into doorways. The incident ended with a few shots from the government troops to restore ptVb- lie confidence and the crowd went oiKmencan ana,. fcngiisn troops, inere. about its business. Berlin's population soon Ix'came accustomed to the out- breaks. . Xot infrequently huge crowds would gather to watch movements of the government troops agafnst the Spartacans and persistently stuck around to see ,the show." Hundreds were injured, -solely due to curiosity1. More hu four: -fifth f the Spar tacan prisoners captured in the up risings were deficient, either mental ly or physically or both.' according to experts who are investigating the bol sheviks. The jliscovery may lead to some, important conclusions regarding bolshevism in general. . According to the doctors ' examining the prisoners, the Spartacans are weak! mostly from under nourishment and some chroni- cally. and they are not in apposition to be. responsible for their acts and should not be at large. The (Jerman provisional government :V inclined to accept the views of the - ieutisty. and will keep thL in mind j i the trials and punishment 4f the lawbreakers.. resrore onier aim eumw me Revoliitlonar,? ontlMeaks in Berlin out of a government is quite uuiver drop upon the city like lightning.
