GERMAN ASSEMBLY
MEETS, DEFIANT
NEW NATIONAL BODY ADDRESS
ED BY CHANCELLOR EBERT
FOR HALF AN HOUR.
WARNING TO ALLIED NATIONS
Ebert Says Hunger Is Preferable to
Disgrace and Deep PriVation To Be
Preferred To Dishonor"-Assem-
bymen Cheer His Statements.

Weimar.-The opening of the Ma
tional Assembly Was impressive for
its aolemnity, earnesncss and sim
plici,y. Chancellor Ebert's openin5
speech, the delivery OF which occu-
pied half hour, was frequently liz
terrupted.
Herr Ebert received only brief
ovation on his entry. He found him
self so hecklcd by Independent So
cialiStS that he was forced in the
middle of his speech to turn upon
them with the declaration that Their
disorder showed how little evil times
had taught them.
There was ulsappruval mixed with
approval when n declared that the
revolution would decline responsible
ity for the shortage of food and the
defects in food in Germany.
He protested against Germany
being a Slave to Germany's enemies
for 80, 40 or 60 years.
The speaker next took up the ar
mistice terms and branded them as
unheard of and ruthless. The whole
house was with HIM when he pro-
tested against the expulsion of Ger
mans from Alsace and the seques.
tratiOn question.
The assembly broke into shouts OF
indignation as the chancellor referred
to the 100000 prisoners of war still
held in captivity. All these, he said,
showed anything but spirit OF re-
Cancellation.
We warn our opponents not to
drive us TO the uttermost," he de-
clared. Hunger is preferable to
disgrace and deep privation is TO be
preferred 10 dishonor"
The Germans, he said, laid down
their arms with confidence in Presi-
dent Wilson and the present free gov
eminent of Germany believes it is
only its right to enter the league of
nations and work with real energy.
