the caste in which we have been
reared, but that will never occur.
Whatever may come we are going to
remain true to our traditions as a
plain workingman's family"
. The eldest son of the family.
Friedrich Ebert, Jr., has taken up
newspaper work. The second son,
youth of 20, was only recently dis
charged from the army. The only
daughter, Amalie, 10 years old, un-
til recently was employed as a
clerk by a downtown firm.
President Ebert.lost a son in the
lighting in Macedonia and another
in the Chemin des Danes operations.
The family up to two weeks ago
had been living in a suburb of Ber-
lin, but now is installed in official
apartments of the Department of the
Interior in the Wilhelmstrasse which
formerly were occupied by high off,
cials. The permanent official resi-
dence of the new president has not
been determined upon, and President
Ebert has expressed aversion to the
Bellevue Palace as such residence on
the ground that it is too impos-
ing"
Just how the newly elected presi-
dent and the first lady of the land
will approach the solution of the
various complex questions facing
them in their new status has not
yet been developed. The question of
official receptions is already worry
ing certain circles in the capital,
who contemplate with some concern
the shift from the splendor of the
Hohenzollern levees to the threat
ened Jeffersonian simplicity of the
new regime.

Vegetables that sold here by farmers OF
Escambia and Baldwin would mean money put into
circulation In Pensacola. But money that is now
