Ebert Is Hailed as
Peoples Leader and
Savior OF German,

LONDON, Feb. 11-A German wire
less dispatch recording the election Of
Herr Ebert describes his post as "Pro-
vlsional State President" 1t adds that
there were ffty-one abstentions from
voting. Philip Scheidemann and Ma
thias Erzberger each polled one vote.
After the election, DR.. Edouard
David, in a speech, said the empire for
the first time had chief who, by vir-
tue of his election, was empowered to
speak and act in the name of the Ger
man people. The mouthpece which
spoke by inherited right had disap-
peared, and in his place stood a leader
chosen by the people.
1t was mainly due to Her Ebert, the
speaker continued, that the revolution
in Germany had not followed the
example of Russia, leading to bloody
chaos and complete dissolution of
right and order. The German people
would have confidence in Herr Ebert s
skill, activity and firmness to protect
their new freedom from every danger
either from the left or the right.
The Majority Socialists applauded d
this statement, but the Independent
Socialists expressed dissent.
Herr Ebert in his speech accepting
the presidency declared that his pur
pose would be impartially to dispense
justice, without favor or prejudice

Typhus Rages as

at Stretch, London Hears;
Starvation Piles Up Dead

LONDON, Feb. 10.-A member of the
Canadian contingent at Omsk, descrip-
ing the situation there, says the coun-
try is in such a chronic state of dis
order that often no trains run for
weeks, according to Reuters dispatch.
Refugees are f1ocking into Omsk in a
woful condition." he says. "The Bo!-
sheviki have innumerable men, and a
more or less organized army Of Bol-
shevik is everywhere. We never take
chances and we speak to nobody but to
our own men. We never go out in less
than gangs of six, and then fully armed.
at is rumored that rs per cent of the
100000 population Of Omsk are Boil

mainder of the House rose. The Inde-
pendents reused sarcastic shouts when
they unexpectedly made a vote on one
single paragraph unanimous.
The Independents hecked the other
members of the House by quibbling
over one word in the clause concerning
the election of a President. The clause
depended on the exact meaning of an
adjective, which they insisted did not
make the meaning clear, and possibly
would prove dangerous for the future.
After considerable debate this matter
was Strengthened out and the provi-
sional constitution was adopted
BASLE, Feb. 1.-THE annual salary

5000 Cases of Typhus

VLADIVOSTOK, Jan. - (Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press).-
There are approximately $4,000 cases
of typhus in Ekaterinburg, Cheliabinsk
and Omsk, according to Major Jack"
Refsnider, who has just returned from
a two months trip in charge of Red
Cross relief train. Russian authorities
and the American Red Cross are doing
their best to check the disease, but their
task is a desperate one. An average of
ten new cases daily is being taken from
the railway station in Ekaterinburg.
Disease, starvation and the rigorous
climate, besides sporadic fighting along
the western front, pile up the dead
faster than they can be disposed Of
Grave digging in the frozen ground is
next to impossible. The bodies are
loaded into cars and hauled out on the
line for such disposition apparently as
occurs to the railway officials. Besides
the yards at Ekaterinburg lay for days
train partly made up of carloads of
bodies awaiting shipment.
American Nurse Dies
A 45O-bed hospital established by the
Red Cross in Tiumen is doing a great
service. Typhus patients are removed
as soon as symptoms develop, to Rus
sian isolation hospital. 1t was in this
hospital thst the American nurse Grace
Mcbride, died of typhus.
A Russian typhus hospital in Ekater.
nburg contained hundreds of patients
with practically no sanitary arrange
ments for caring for them, and with de
plorable management. Patients lay il
rows on althy floor in an unventilatet
room.
Next to the need for medicines ant
medical help, conditions Throughout
western Siberia call for clothing sup
plies. Many refugees are we'll suppliet
with funds, but are in rags Majo
Reifsnider said a passenger coacl
turned ovar to the Red Cross in Omsk
and formerly occupied by a Russia,
general, was left for a few hours in
railway yard, during which interval j
had .been entered and every inch of tn
plush upholstery had been cut away anl
taken to make clothing.

Germans Agree Poles
May Haze Biaiystok
SO as to Oppose Reds

VIENNA, Feb. IL (By The Associated
Press) A wireless dispatch received
from Warsaw says the Poles have con-
cluded an agreement with the Germans
whereby the Poles shall occupy Bialy-
stok in order to secure free passage
through Lithuania so as to oppose the
Bolsheviki. The Germans are with
drawing their forces from Bialystok
to Lapy Wolkoywysk, the line to which
the Poles are repairing for resump-
ton of traffic. The Germans will
cvacuate Bialystok by February Is and
Wolkoywysk February 20.
Another attempt by the Germans to
conceal their irregular requsitioning
of food trains has been unfolded BY
their refusal to permit Colonel William
Grove, of the American Food Commits
sion to Poland, to pass through Bialy
stok when he went to Danzig to ar
range for the passage of supplies to
Warsaw by rail.

Rotterdam and Antwerp
Base Ports for u. S. A.
Bargcs on Rhine Will Release
Freight Cars for French
Railroads

PARIS, Feb. II (By The Associated
Press) Rotterdam and Antwerp will
be used as base ports for the American
army of occupation. Deep draft
barges seized by the French and Bel
gians in the German retreats will
plough the Rhine, superseding the
Bordeaux route to the front by rail.
Warehouses will be erected at Rot
terdam and Antwerp and the ships will
be unloaded and reloaded upon barges
by Dutch and Belgian civilians.
The establishment of the new route
will release between 1900 and 1000
freight cars for the French railroads
and it will make New York the rail
head for the American army Of occu-
patton. Rations and supplies for the
troops will leave New York direct fol
Coblenz.
Colonel John S. Sewell is in command
of the new bases. He will be assisted
by Colones Charles c. collars, Pau
J. Ramsey and Edward B. Cushing.
The commission on ports, waterway:
and railways of the peace confer
ence met with DR.. Silvo Crespi
of Italy, in the chair. England, sup
ported by America, proposed the procla
liberty of transit to every country or
quail conditions to all. This proposition
was opposed by Albert Claveille, fol
France, and Lambros A. Coromilas. fol
Greece, who pointed out that England
and America occupied special situation;
that made the question of Commercial
land transit insignificant for them.
The commission appointed two sub
commissions, one to study the question
Of the control Of ports, waterways ant
railways, and the other the question
Of liberty Of transit.
The commission agreed that naviga

.JeIIicOe Tells HOsU
U-BOtlts Routed Fleet

I ONDON, Feb. IA book
written by Admiral Viscount
Jellicoe, the former commander
of the British grand fleet, which
will appear tomorrow, contains
revelations of British unpre-
paredness at the beginning of
the war. The grand fleet had to
run out of harbor several times
because submarines were report
ed inside.
Admiral Jellicoe says he
avoided night action with his big
ships off Jutland because the
British searchlights and fire con-
trolls were defective. He recon-
mends a greater superiority of
all classes Of vessels than in 1914.
