FASCISTI v. SOCIALISTS

SHOTS IN BERLIN. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) BERLIN, Nov. 29. Herr Loebe, President of the Reichstag, was addressing a Socialist demonstration when a Fascist tired from a passing tramcar, the bullet grazing the head of an official on the Socialist platform. » The crowd pulled a dozen Fascisti from the tram and roughly handled them, until the police arrested the Fascisti, who were in possession of revolvers and much ammunition. ATTACK ON GAOL. BERLIN, November 29. Heavily armed men attacked Glewitz prison in Silesia, and shot a warder and imprisoned two others in the cells. They then released ten prisoners. “BLACKSHIRT” RECRUITS. LONDON, November 29. "The Times’s” Berlin correspondent says: “The most serious charge yet brought against the Reichswehr authorities, appears in the Socialist newspaper “Breslauer Volkswakeht,’ with which Herr Loebe, President of the Reichstag, is connected. It asserts that a Black Reichswehr’s reserve exists in Silesia, supported by the funds of the Nationalist Reichswehr. Officers are collected by employers’ associations •in Bres lau, who are financing civil an gymnastics. ■ The newspaper adds: Forty officers are employed in training reserves on the army parade grounds. The reserves are told that they are required to form a frontier guard against the Poles.” ■
