8EVKRAl7 HUNDRED KILLKB^
BERLIN, Jan S—The most con
servative reports so far obtainable
state hat several hundred were kill
ed in the recent fighting between
the radical Spartacus and the loyal
solders. It has so far been iinpos
silbe to even approximately estimate
the number who have been wounded
but owing to the ferociousness with
which the conflict was carried on, wilt
reach well Into the thousands.
It is at present impossible to say
which side has the upper hand, ae
events follow each other so rapidly
and the tide of battle changes in
favor of either party so quickly and
constantly that no satisfactory con
clusion as to which party is the
tronger can be arrived at.
