(Bv the Asso- ' eiatcd Press.) Berlin's long week ot Bolshevism is finally ended. Here and there scattered desperadoes, mostly youths, still Fire occasionally from some house top and during tho night attempts are made bv smal bnnds or the followers of Dr. Karl Leibknect to revive the reign of terror. The1; arc insignificant however. Dr. Lcibknecht's sister was nrrest- ed todav and several hundred rebels are locked up. Losses inflicted on each side during the Inst week, it is believed, will greatly exceed 200 dead and 1.000 wounded. The overwhelm ing majority of these are Bolshevists. The reinstatement nnd nrminer ot the police gives the government a new force of trained men who know the criminal world and whose absence during the first days of the revolu- -tion gave the disorderly element n free hand. Police records were not destroj'ed as was first reported. De tectives arc already rounding ud old acotiaintanees. .
