EBERT MINISTRY
IS TOTTERING
WESTERN CONFERENCE CLOSES

Charlotte, Nov. 24.-Every inch OF
available space, both on the lower
floor and in the galleries Of Tryon
street church this morning was filled
by the immense congregation when
Bishop U. V. Darlington announced
the opening hymn of the morning
service after the siging of the hymn
as only Methodist conference can.
Bishop J. G. Kilgo of Charlotte led
the prayer. Bishop Darlington read
for a scripture lesson the thirteenth
chapter of Genesis.
Choosing for text Genesis 12,
Bishop Darlington delivered a spir-
itual sermon of great power, directed
more especially to the young men
about to be set apart to the office of
deacon, but that carried a tremen-
dous appeal to every member of the
congregation, warning them against
the insidious snares of worldliness
that beset the people of this genera
tion.
Bishop Darlington possesses that
rare gift Of the public speaker which
enables him to command the atten-
tion and to hold in his grasp all
classes of hearers. This was the
gift of Bishop Enoch Marvin and A.
Coke Smith of the Methodist Church,
and to degree surprising all others
of Frederick w. Robertson, the
matchless English preacher. 1t is
the supreme gift of the Gospel min
lister.
In the course of the sermon that
consisted of an analysis of the char
acter of Lot and Of lessons gathered
from the life of Lot and Abraham.
At the close of the sermon, Bishop
Darlington ordained as deacons the
following young men: M. G. Allen,
John Cline, j. W. Fitzgerald, w. M.
Hockard, C. W. Kennerly, R. H. Ken
nearly, A. L. Lucas, J. G. Mitchell, c.
D. Stacy.
Memorial services were held at
three o'clock in the afternoon, over
which DR.. D. A. Atkins presided.
Memoirs of the six members who
have died during the year were
read as follows Memoir of c. w.

Attack Against
A NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

Amsterdam, Saturday, Nov. 23.-
The left wing OF the social demo
Gratis and the ultra-radicals today
launched their anticipated fight on
the national assembly during the
course of largely attended meet
ing of the Working Mems Council
1t was presided over by Hermali
Molkenbuhr and Herr Mueller, joint
-partisanship chairmen of the body
which considers itself the highest
authority in the present government
and incidentally claims the right to
disband the cabinet if the latter re-
fuses to carry out its policy.
Herr Mueller, who is the inde
pendent's representative in the com
mittee craftsmanship, asserted at the
meeting that an attempt to convene
a national assembly is plain EN-
deavor to give the Bougeoise con.
troll of the new democracy He de-
manded socialistic republic and
ed:
"a national assembly would be
our death warrant. The path to II
can only lead over my dead body. :"
Friedrich, head of the German
cabinet and DR.. Hugo Haase attend
ed the meeting. The latter empht-
sized the need Of national body
and added that the achievements OF
the revolution would not be lost as a
result of t.
Today's opposition to the Ebert
Schiedemann program foreshadows
internal strife that is calculated t,
disrupt the present government.
While Haase is known to be in favor
of national assembly because of
its immediate bearing upon Ameri
can food relief and the peace nego-
tiations, it is plain tonight that his
faction is a unit against the propo-
sition.

The former emperor begins each

day closes with another walk in the
gardens. The officers Of his suite,
however, dash about the country in

GERMANY IS
D|SP|R|7ED
And Accepts Her Defeat With
Incredible Apathy. Hum
ger Has Left Mark
CONSIDERS u. S. A FRIEND

Berlin, via Copenhagen, Nov %
Strange are the experiences of .
| traveller who enters Germany after
an absence of several years. For
| merly there were many and varied
governmental orders and restric.
tions to be obeyed. Nowadays
when you 60 to police station, the
desk sergeant will say sadly:
"You are not required to register
any longer" They do not even loon
at your passport.
Another feature of the new free
dom" in Germany, which may sur
prise the traveller, is that the pri-
vate soldier no longer salutes his
superior officers. The soldier calls
his officer "comrade."
Berlin outwardly is as orderly as
ever but order is no longer main
tained by policemen but by soldiers
with arm bands as the badge of Of
flee. The picture is familiar to
those who saw Petrograd during tho
Kerensky regime. Another sight re-
calling Petrograd are the military
and royal utomoboiles-the latter
still sounding the musical call de-
not the approach of which
dash through the streets with loads
OF soldiers.
The prevailing tone in Berlin is
still military, but ii is militarism
of privates and commissioned
officers. Their symbol is the Red
flag which waves above every gov
ernment building and from every
automobile AS fer as any partici-
patton in directing the affairs of the
government, the bourgeoise citizens
simply do not exist.
Hunger has set its unmistakable
stamp on the inhabintants of the
capital. Here and there, hollow
cheeks, sunken eyes and pasty COM
plexions are evidence of the priva-
tion of the last four years. Similar
conditions could be observed two
years earlier in the city's poorer
quarters, but today they prevail
among nearly all classes. Dilapi-
dated street cars ann cabs drawn by
skeleton horses intensity the picture
OF misery.
The United States is regarded not
only as not an enemy, but actually
as a friend. Berlin resident hope
fullyrecall assurance of President
Wilson that America does not intend
to wipe out the German people.
Berlin, crushed, broken and dis
spirited by depriyations, has accept
ed defeat with almost incredible
apathy. 1t is demoralized, listless
and hungry even ubject. II is pri-
marily this apathy and the feeling
that nothing matters which is play
ing into the hands of few energet-
ic fanatics who constitute probably
the gravest menace to the immedi-
ate future OF the German people.
