Berlin, (Thursday>. Feb. 13.-The

dence is comcly housefrau Of medium
height and slender, who up to this
time has always attended to her house
hold duties and who has even been
her own dressmaker. Frau Louise
Ebert was born 40 years ago in q
working mans home in Bremen:
II know we must be prepared Tor
attacks from the right and the left, "
she said today in discussing the new
position In which the Ebert family
finds itself. Those from the left will
be the worst. Thew will charge us
with extricating ourselves from the
caste in which we were raised. That
will never come. We are going to
remain true to the traditions in which
we have been reared"
One son has entered newspaper
work. Another son was only recently
discharged from the army. The only
daughter was employed until recently
as a clerk. President Ebert lost a son
in Macedonia and another in France.
The family, up to two weeks ago, were
living In q suburb Of Berlin. Now
they are installed in the Wilhelm
strasse. The official residence has not
been determined upon.

senate Friday by Senator Hyland and

Hyland advocated the elimination

Senator Fraser of Mclean defended
the clause objected to. He declared
that under this provision should the
association or the industrial commits
sion which manages the association
wish to seize for any purpose any pri-
