Berlin, Mar. 6. Sings A vigorous campaign to implant the Fascist regime throughout Germany is now being carried out ruthlessly. Nazi storm-troops are active everywhere. Governments are being superseded by force.

Following the example of the Nazia at Hamburg, the storm troops at Bremen to-day occupied the Town «Hall and hoisted the Nazi flag, de- manding the resignation of the

Senato and a now election.

Similar action has been taken at Luebeck, where the Senate," under duress, bas tendered its resigna tion, and at numerous other places.

There has been no employment of force in the opposition.

TROUBLE FEARED.

It is regarded as certain that in Federal States such as Bavaria, Saxony and Baden, where the "Nazis are not in the Government, steps will be taken to seize control, by compelling the election of new Diets or by appointing State Com- missioners, though this will pro bably menn trouble with the Bavarians and possibly with the
