monies Held in Theatre

wEIMAR, Aug. % (By The Asso-
ciated Press s).-Friedrich Ebert took
oath as Imperial President at the Ma
tional Theatre yesterday.
Ebert arrived in an autom mobile at
p. m, and was conducted to where Con-
stantin Fehrenbach, President of the
National Assembly, was awaiting him.
The members of the Imperial Council
and Assembly rose to welcome Ebert,
but the places reserved for the German
National and Independent Socialist
parties were empty.
Fehrenbach handed the President the
document containing the oath, the for
mula of which President Ebert recited
with firm voice. Fehrenbach then
said to the President:
You came from the people, and
therefore you will ever be faithful
TREND Of the working people, to whom
you nave devoted your life work You
will also ever be shield to the father
land which you have done your best to
serve and for the sake of which you
have made a terrible and most painful
sacrlflce, seeing that of four sons YOU
sent to the colors two have not re-
turned. 1t is thorny office which in
tne hardest times the fatherland laid
upon your shoulders, but with an easv
conscience you can claim to be free
from all blame or esponsibility for the
country's wretched position.
You sought to attain progress and
freedom solely by peaceful develop
ment, but with defeat the die was
cast regarding the old state form and
the dynasty. Even those who preserve
their love for the old institutions point
the way to the rebirth OF the believe d
fatherland"
Pr president Ebert, in reply, said:
The essence Of our Constitution
shall, above all, be freedom, but ali
freedom must have its law. This YOU
have now established We will Jointly
hold on to It, 1t Will give US strength
to testify for the new vital principle
OF the German nation-freedom and
