HUN SURRENDER TO POLES DOES NOTPLEASE Berlin Paper Bitterly Attacks "Chinese Apathy" of Lead ers in Permitting Inva sion; Asks of Future. Berlin, Jan. 3. (By Associated Press.) A protest against the "ab ject surrender to the Poles," which is advocated by Herr Ernst, of the Prussian ministry, is printed by the Zeitung Am Mittag today. Tht minister, who has just returned from the border, declares that while the invasion by the Poles could have been prevented a fortnight ago, the situation is now hopeless and that Germany could not regain the ter ritory occupied by the Poles even with the division ordered to the district a division, he declared, which it now was impossible to as semble. The Zeitung Am Mittag declares that these statements cannot be true and it asks why the government has done nothing in the matter. It characterizes the v attitude of the government as "Chinese apathy." Fears Bolshevists. The Zeitung Am Mittag also ex presses disquiet over the evacua tion of Riga by the Germans and the danger of a bolshevik invasion of Germany. The government members are In session today and are reported to be cansidering what action to take for the protection of German cities from the Poles. Munich newspapers of this morn ing's date received here, publish re ports of shooting in the streets of that city New Year's eve. Nine persons are declared to have been wounded. The accounts state that the rioters used hand grenades against the police and threw similar missiles at the front of the Catholic society building. The newspapers declare that great numbers of weapons are in the pos session of the lawless element. Petrograd People Are Threatened by Famine Under Bolshevik Rule London, Jan. 3. (British Wireless Service). Dissatisfaction and des peration in Petrograd, caused by the almost complete disappearance of the necessaries of life and the sys tem of gvernment in effect under bolshevik rule, are so widespread that the populace is on the verge of an outbreak, according to a Danish business man who has returned from Russia. "Conditions in Petrograd are ex-1 ceedingly depressing," he says. "Ex cept for the red guard and its' agents, the whole population is in direst need. Petrograd . is face to face with complete starvation. The prices of ordinary articles of food have risen enormously and it is dif ficult to buy anything, even at these prices. "All the ibig establishments and the factories have been nationalized and are either closed or in half work ing order. The banks have been na tionalized and money circulation has therefore stopped. A recent decree prohibits the carrying of parcels in the streets without special permis sion from the Red Guards agents and, consequently, one is held up when one tries to go out shopping. No fuel is to be had. "The present system of govern ment is creating general stagnation and the misery in which the majori ty of the populace is living has fost ered dissatisfaction and desperation, which are gradually spreading and which need only a spark to break out into flames. On all sides it is hoped that the entente will be able to find means to supply Petrograd and save the population from starva tion. During the day it is compara tively quiet in the streets, but after dark no one who does not belong to the ranks of the red army dares to go out." Car Service Resumed in Denver After Delay Caused by Rioting Denver, Jan. 3.

Dewey C. Baker, city manager of public satety, said the police had been instructed to prevent distruc tion of property or injury to trau? men, but could not and would not undertake to assist the company to collect the increased fare. . oc'oc't tn'8 morning regular "owl" car service was begun and the cars passed through the down town district without disturbance, the crowds which interfered with the operation of the cars last night having dispersed.
