The home personnel of the bureau nlso is increased under the hill. Assistance also would be given American firms engaging in foreign trade, through the state department. additions being provided for the tie piu'tment's stuff of trade advisers. In providing for state department needs, the bill abolishes the title of councillor of the department nnd sub stitutes the title of under secretary of state. . . Increase in appropriations carried by the hill is due largely to provisions for the 1920 census, thc'nmount pro posed for that purpose being $i:).(j.10,- 700.

In the sanguinary fighting of the last five days the Spartacans are re ported to hare suffered very heavy losses. Government Winning LONDON", Jan. 10. The Ebert government Is steadily gaining con trol in Berlin and the Spartacus ele ment is losing ground tho still show ing great determination, according to the latest news. . Fighting raged thru Tuesday night and up till noon Wed nesday in Berlin and there were a number of casualties. , -, ' Gustave Noske, in charge of the government's defensive measure, has', gained control of the railways and Is bringing large forces into , the city, where a state. of : siege-bas-.beon de clared. ... ,'..: ,.- .' . Great difficulty. Is found In estab lishing the sequence of events at Ber lin with any accuracy owing to the fact that a great number of the dis patches received have been without dates. . ,j ; ' SMirtacans Losing Out According to the Neueste Nach rlchten of Leipslc, the government has the upper hand In the center of the city but tbe Spartacans hold the east end and the suburbs. The news papers say a division of guards, 8000 strongbas arrived In the city. . An important statement comes from tbe Frankfort Gazette, which says that the republican guard, con sisting of 3000 men, which was Chief of Police Eichhorn's guard, has plac ed itself at the disposal of the gov ernment and the Berlin garrison, which has been holding a neutra'c po sition, has also placed itself on tho side of the government. Another semi-official statement from Frank fort says the government has at Us disposal SO, 000 loyal troops. " Street Car System Stops One bad sign is the complete sus pension of the street car system of Berlin owing to a dispute over wages. It Is said that It the claims of the workers' council are conceded, the In creased charges to the system would amount to 30,000 marks daily. There have been various reports ot the Ebert government resigning and. the possible occupation of Berlin by entente and American troops. None of these rumors has been confirmed.
