■ HOPE THAT ACTION MAY IMPROVE THE SITUATION. . Australian i.nd N.Z. -Cable- Association. BERNE, Dec. 22. The Guards regiments at Berlin have proclaimed that they no longer recognise the authority of the Workers and Soldiers' Council. It is predicted that this will radically improve this chaotic situation ■ in Germany. NEW YORK. Doc. 22. The Berlin correspondent of the New York World says that a score of soldiers claiming to represent all the troops now in Berlin, tried to break up a session of the Workmen's and Soldiers' Council. Unless I the returning troops are completely won over in a few days it is Unlikely that they will support these troops, who demand the removal ■ pl all officers from authority, and the elevation of the Soldiers' Council to supreme power. They also demand the removal of Hindenburg and „ : staff. The correspondent adds that the Soldiers' Council is in no humour to receive these demands.
