.GERMANP PRESIDENT
Assembly Chooses Former
Saddler-First to Be Elect
ed in Nations History.
GETS PIT OF 379 VOTES

| WEIMAR, February II (by the Asso-
ciated Press) .-PeaIing church bells an
nounced to the people of Weimar at 4:15
O'Clock this afternoon that the German
| folk for the first time in history had
chosen the head of their own state.
Friedrich Ebert. former sadder and
socialist leader, appeared before the
theater twenty minutes later and re-
ceived as President of Germany those
plaudits formerly marking the appear
ance of the monarch who once stig-
matized the party TO which President
Ebert belongs as being made up of men
unworthy TO bear the name of Ger
man" Ebert got 277 out of 579 votes.
Theater Is Crowded.
Despite the certainty of Herr Ebert's
election. the theater was crowded this
afternoon beyond anything previously
seen since the opening of the national
assembly. The gallery resembled the
reichstag tribune in old days, with men
and women in gala attire damned in
every available inch of space. The
boxes and balconies were also crowded
to their utmost capacity.
The vote against him probably came
from the solid conservative block and a
few of the old national liberals, while
the independents, socialists and some
others signified a lesser degree of dis
appreciation by casting blank ballots.
The assembly adjourned until Thurs
day. Tomorrow will be spent in pre-
pairing a program and definitely con-
shutting new cabinet. Today
meeting was opened as usual with the
reading of kilograms from all parts of
Germany and Austria, each of which
brought cheers. The joining of Ger
many and Austria when mentioned
received shouts of acquiescence, while
the armistice conditions and the
blockade were denounced.
There was unanimous approval when
message from Wurtterflberg legis
lature was read protesting against
the armistice conditions and predict
ing future war if peace is signed on
their basis.

UNDERGRADUATES SEE
 SENIOR PLAY AT COLLEGE
Special to<The Bulletin.)

Green. Stockings" senior week play given Saturday for the benefit of un- dergraduates, was the feature event Of last week at. Connecticut college. The play is one of the attractions of
 commencement week, but as no under classmen will be, allowed to attend the
 exercises in the gymnas sium during
 that period owing to limited accom-
 modation, the senior class voted to give it last week for those desiring
 to see it. The play has been most successfully presented at Mo. Holyoke Leland Stanford, Chicago University and other colleges throughout the country, and is considered a most diff fcult piece to present in matter of cast and setting. The story is based on an old country legend which requires that the elder girls of a family wear green stockings at the wedding of her younger sister. In this particular case, Celia has two younger sisters about to be married, and included in the marriage arrangeTne nents are the to wear. But Celia being a decidedly individual sort of person with a sense of wit and timely huulor de cided to play a part all her own. and so produces 9 sweetheart and fiance to the astonisllTaent Of all concerned, even to the gentleman in the case. The play has q bit of war setting, as the 1 man selected as the mysterious fiance of Celia has been overseas and comes home just at the cruciaP moment; ev- erything clears up and of course he falls in love with Celia when he meets her and the make believe" romance becomes q real live one. Marion Wells, 1 or New London was q most entranc- ing Celia. and the remainder of the cast was well selected. The mapori- l y of the girls in the cast were New 1 London girls and include Harriet Rog- ! CTS, Charlotte keefe, Emetta Weed, ! Marenda Prentis. New London: Ruth Anderson. Worcester, Mass. Maries- ther Dougherty-, of Middletowil; Juline 1 Warner Of 'Woodbury, Lillian Shadd of l Mineral " Washington.

WAR VETERANS AT CHURCH SERVICE.

have upheld the honor and the glory and the high purpose and noble prir- ciples of America that justice and right, liberty and peace may prevail everywhere. a
 To all these millions of young man. hood and to other millions Of woman hood do we owe honor, gratitude and reverence.
 One great message that has come in l the past year to the American peo-
 pie is that of stirring examples of patriotic devotion With real heroism ! and sublime passion men and wo- I men have surrendered their all in shin ing loyalty to the cause of their na- ton. These wars appear to have been purifying fires to cleanse. commop-
 place lives of ignobie purposes and to
 r1ake respelendent the gold of sincere
 patriotism. The monster passions of
 religion and patriotism, to first place. 1 It is for us and those who come after
 us to keep them there.
 i The men who we honor today fought ] for the generations that were to follow them and SC appropriately in nearly all the states of the Union Memorial Day is set apart as a holiday when ! the boys and girls can gather with the living veterans as they have recounted 1 lO tH6fQ CIGlI QeSIS Cl VdIDI. l Qe 1 spirit of giving self was the spirit ot Jesus Christ who gave Himself for mankind and this was the spirit of the
 fallen in the great wars for our be-
 half. So when the question is asked
 What mean we by this service?'' we
 can again, answer. '--ro commemorate the lives and services of those who
 struggled and endured hardship, who
 suffered and sacrificed in behalf of l their fellows. We mean by it to re- l mind ourselves again of the blessed sacrifice of Him who loved us and
 gave Himself for us, for you. for me, for all mankind
