German Troops jControl Leipsic; Berlin Is Qniet Government Acts to Check Revolt Which Threatens to Spread Over Nation and Even Into Austria Mob's Leaders Cowardly \ Shielded Themselves Behind Guns During the Attack on the Reichstag Building LONDON, Jan. 15.?German troops were marched to Leipsic on Tuesday, where they occupied the squares and public buildings, according to a Ber? lin dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company to-day. Machine guns were placed in commanding positions. Fears are expressed in diplomatic dispatches received here that the Ber? lin imbroglio may spread throughout Germany, and even to Vienna, through the agency of the Communists, this element using the recent Berlin dis- ' orders to inflame the masses by repre- | senting those killed as martyrs to the cause of the people. Vienna, it is pointed out, would be j likely to furnish fertile ground for the 1 agitators because of the great unrest that already exists there. The advices, in analyzing the up? heaval in Berlin, point to its original cause as the dissatisfaction of the In? dependent Socalists over the failure of the government to provide a method for the establishment of the workmen's councils called for by the constitution, but give the immediate cause as in? dignation at the attitude of the gov? ernment toward strikers. This result? ed in the organization of the great demonstration in front or the Reichs? tag Building. Communists Seize Opportunity The violence that followed, however, , is declared to have been due to Com unist agents, who took advantage of ? the assemblage, and working on mob : psychology started the riot which re? sulted so disastrously. Disorderly scenes occurred again yes? terday morning in the National A3sem- i bly when Deputy Kanhler attempted to i deliver a speech regretting the inci dents of Tuesday, according to a Berlin dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph I Company. The Independents constantly . interrupted Herr Kanhler. An attempt had been made, Herr I ! Kanhler declared, to put tho Parlia-1 I ment, "elected by the most democratic ! method in the world," under the die- ! tatorship of the street agitator. If the ! people of Germany now realized how ! ! disastrous the tyranny of minority rule would be, he said, the bloodshed on the . previous day?the first since the rati ? fication of the peace treaty?would not have flowed in vain. The Independents thereupon created a further disturb . anee. Berlin was completely quiet yester, ' day, according to a wireless dispatch ; from the German capital. The large | factories were working normally and j the railway and tram services were not ; interrupted. Mob Leaders Save Themselves Strong indignation is expressed in S every branch of industry at th? un ? scrupulousness of the Independents, | the dispatch adds, because the leaders ! hid behind machine guns while the masses were driven forward to face i the guns of the soldiers. It is announced that the Berlin i*ov- ; eroment will not permit, demonstra- ! tions on the occasion of the burial of : the victims of Tuesday's rioting. BERLIN, Jan. 15.?A Communist! manifesto issued to-day urges the im- ; mediate election of revolutionary em-1 ployes' councils in all industrial estab? lishments. ? 1,000 at Zionist Tea - Women Honor Miss Szold, Pio-1 neer Palestine Worker Nearly one thousand women of the j Zionist movement in New York were ? present at a reception and tea yester- ! day afternoon in the ballroom of the Hotel ?A.stor in honor of Miss Henrietta Szold, pioneer organizer of the Amer? ican Zionist Medical Unit for Pales? tine.
