(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)

BERLIN, Communist sharpshooter# at 'Duisburg raided tlie iiome of a prominent Fascist, and fired .a. ,volley into, 'ins bedroom. The Fascist escaped but hw wife was wounded. This 1 is the first blood in a war between tne Fascists and the Reds, which threatens to rend the country in two, while the death .sentences imposed on the Fascists at Beuthen have aroused a wave of anger that is only comparable to that of Central Europe after the murder cf tlio Austrian Archduke at Sarajevo in the year 1914.

CHARGE MADE BY 200 POLICE

URGE'TO OPPOSE INFLATION

Received this day at 10.15 a.m.) BERLIN* August 24.

Beyond a charge by, two hundred police to clear the Beuthen courtyard where Nazis were yelling : '‘Surrender our prisoners !*’• the day passed, uneventfully. The severity of anfi-ter-rorist laws is displayed by a ten,years’ sentence on a Berlin Communist. for firing a revolver during a political clash.

Herr Luther, addressing the co-opera-tive banks, vigorously opposed inflation, and warned Germany against exaggerated endeavours to become independent of foreign imports. The (Reictabank was willing to supply credit for economically sound purposes.
