VIRTUAL REVOLUTION

NO GEEAT VIOLENCE

BUT MUCH PETTY TYRANNY

(Times Cable.) BERLIN, March 9. Government circles claim that what was tantamount to a revolution passed pfE with remarkably little in the way of unpleasant incidents. Though the Nazis are entitled to point to the absence of large scale violence, local incidents of violence and intimidation are still occurring. "Workmen are killed in houses and streets by unknown assailants. Communist ..prisoners are shot, while, it is stated, they are trying to escape. Individuals are dragged from their beds by uniformed men and simply disappear. Helpless people are roughly treated in raids. Prominent Jews receive threatening letters and distinguished persons credited with "-Left" sympathies find and indefinite absence from home advisable. In the aggregate, these incidents are beginning to assume impressive proportions, causing the newspapers to urge the Government to , enforce discipline and so gaii^ the mastery over its own mass following. Captain Goering, Minister in charge of the police, has allotted Liebknecht House as the headquarters for the Storm Troops, whose Berlin leader, Count Helldorf, declared that for every Storm Trooper killed in Berlin and Brandenburg "three Communists will answer with their lives.'' Herr Hitler received the Italian Ambassador conveying Signor Mussolini's personal congratulations on the success of the Nazis.
