HINDENBURG HAS
ARRIVED IN BERLIN
Street Fighting Has Been
Bloody, Owing to the Fact
That the Spartacus Ele
ment Has Plenty of Arms.
(By The Associated Press.)
London, Jan. 8. Several hundred
persons have been killed in the fight
ing in Berlin, according to a Copenha
gen dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company, but up to two o clock this
morning no details of the conditions
there had Ikhmi received. The govern
ment seems at least provisionally to
be master of the situation.
Early Tuesjlay morning the Berlin
government massed troops outside the
city. These troops are ready to enter,
it is said in the dispatch to the Ex
change Telegraph Company.
Field Marshal von Hindenburg is re.
ported to have arrived at Berlin.
The street fighting has leen particu
larly sanguinary. It is said, owing to
the fact that the Sptr'-ncus element
has plenty weapons, taken from the
munitions factories at Spandau. While
the machine guns were firing and
bombs were dropping, moving picture
operators were busily recording the
scenes enacted in the streets. It was
announced recently that the American
army had sent moving picture opera
tors to Berlin.
Tlie dislocation of the telegraph ser
vice has prevented anything more than
meager and scattered rciiorts of what
has been happening in Berlin getting
through, but all the il patches agree
severe streel f 'lt'ivt o.viirred Friday.
The first encounters between the
government and the Spartaean forces
occurred Sunday in front of the Kaiser-
lioff hotel, when one person was killed
and eight others wounded. According
to nn eve witness, mime u the troops
turned against the government, and
others refused to obey the government
orders to recapture quarters of the
Wolff Bureau, the semi official news
agency. On the other hand, a marine I
livision Is tatc! to he supporting rno
government.
The Spartmnns refused all offers or
the goveriur.'Mi t'i n-gotmte and were
attacking the foreign office the chan
cellor's palace and others of the min-
istr'es e.i Moii'lnv when eighteen per

Mr. W. A. Holmes, who ives near
the river, says that last night he heard
noise as something crashing Into a
tree and about Ave minutes later he
heard cries for help. He ran to the
river, and just as he got there an air
plane plunged into the water on the
west side of the stream. As the ma
chine struck the water there was an
explosion like the report of a pistol
and then all was silent. The ship set
tied down in the water, and floated
across the stream to the east bank,
where it stuck, but it was impossible
to get at it. Mr. Holmes is confident
that the ship first fell into a tree as he
heard a crash and limbs and branches
of the tree are broken, and pieces of
'he machine are hanging to it.
AID TO HOME Bl'ILDERS.
Plan Suggested by Mr. E. L. Kesler,, of
Charlotte to Department of Labor.
(By The Asseelsled Press.)
Washington, Jan. 8. Aid to home
luiinlrrs on a national scale, similar to
that given farmers by Federal Farm
I, ...in Hanks, has lioen suggested by B.
I.. Koi-sler, of Charlotte, N. C, presi
dent of the i;. S. league of Building
& Loan Associations, to the Depart
ment of Labor, as a step in stimulating
private construction during the period
if industrial transition from a war to
a peace basis.
Mr. Keesler urged that, mortgages
made over to the Building A Loan As
sociations, should be re-disconntalile at
Kisleral Reserve Banks, or that farm
loan banks be authorized to accept
mortgages on homes as well as farms.

S IS.S13, and assets of $1,700,000,000.
Price Publication U be Diseentinued.
Raleigh, Jan. 8. The publication of
Fair Price Lists" in Horth Carolina
will be discontinued immediately ac
cording to an announcement from the
office of Bute Food Administrator
Henry A. Page today. The publication
of fair price lists, giving maximum
prices that might be charged for staple
food commodities, was Instituted sev
eral months ago when margins of prof
it had been fixed by the Food Admin
istration on only two or three commo
ditlets. During the past few months
margins have been fixed on most of
the staple food and feed products and
these margins have become so well
known that it is deemed unnecessary
anv longer to publish fair price lists.
In fact it is stated that the fair price
publication might under present cir
cumstances conduce to profiteering on
account of the difference of the basic
of food products of different qualities
or on different markets.
