EBERT

Ebert, the German chancellor, Is
remarkable for his combined powers
of body and mind. He is able to
work easily. without great fatigue or
exhaustion.
His democratic spirit shows in his
large perceptive intellect He is a
man to gather facts, and gets down
to brass tacks."
The posterior region of his head
unites with his intellect and serves to
make him a friend of the people and
social in his tendency.
He knows how to temper his speech
with enough humor, and at the same
time with sufficient force to- drive
his arguments home.
That he is an orator is shown by
his large development of language.
Thus, he should be fluent in conver-
sation and dramatic in addressing an
audience.
He will make a strong leader if he
is allowed to rule the people, but he
needs more dignity of bearing to
round out his character and give him
balance in administrative work. Yet
the lack OF it will make him the
friend OF the people and enable him
to get in touch with their needs and
present requirements.
He is just the opposite type from
President Wilson, Abraham Lincoln,
Lloyd George, Gen. Pershing and Mar
shal Foch, while he is much more
on the order OF William Taft and

President Poincaire. though less cul-
tured.
The characters of Lenine, of Rus
sia, and Ebert, of Germany, make an
interesting study from a psychological
point of view.
To make a short comparison be-
tween Ebert and Lenine, we would
like to point out that the first has a
vital-mental temperament. the second
a motiye-mental one.
Ebert is jolly and self-composed,
while Lenlne Is self-centered and re-
served
Ebert is broad and Iiberal-minded
and Lenine is autocratic and selfish.
Ebert has the good OF the people
at heart; Lenine has set views of his
own, which he thinks right to enforce.
The leadership of Ebert will be more
for the good of the people. while Len
ines will be one of terror and blood
shed.
Were the people of Russia as effl-
cient and as educated as those OF
Germany they would revolt against
Lenine's authority.
Ebert can carry the people with him
in his control as premier; Lenine can
only hold the people in allegiance to
his wishes as long as he can decer~.
the people by making them think that
he is the strongest man among them.
He will not be beloved nor admired
for his good acts, and a broader and
more liberal leader should be found
for his place.
Ebert will back up his arguments
by logical and persuasive ideas, while
Lenine will back up his arguments by
force and terror without gaining the
love and esteem of the people.
Lenine has a very different type os
