German President Is
Very Retiring Chief

BERLIN, May 6 ASSOCIATED
Press Mail)-In a social sense, Pres
ident Friedrich Ebert is probably the
most retiring chief of any European
democracy.
Society, as it is understood in other
capitals, is non-existent in Berlin.
The great majority of the old Prus-
sian aristocracy have withdrawn to
the seclusion of their country estates.
They have no desire to mix with the
newly rich" and the new order Of
Things is frankly repugnant to them.
Visitors are few at 73 Wilhelm
strasse and no country cousins stop
to cape at the old palace of the erst-
while court marshal which the pres.
ident of the German republic has
made his home.
Rarely is the ex-saddler seen or re-
cognized in public and picture postals
of members of the Hohenzollern
family are more plentiful in station
cry stores than those of Fritz Ebert.
A formal reception at the presi-
Dental residence is therefore some
thing of an event in Berlin. For the
first time, Herr Ebert the other even.
ing entertained about 100 of the most
prominent German citizens who have
made their peace with the present
regime, or nearly SC.
Besides cabinet ministers and
chiefs of departments, there were
university professors, poets, sculptors
musicians, painters, actors and au-
thors.
President Ebert, welcoming his
guests, spoke of his desire to meet
personally the present leaders of
thought, arts and sciences of the
fatherland and dwelt on the import
ance such gatherings would have in
fostering culture which he conceived
it was the task of the new repub-
lican regime sedulously to promote.
Professor dolf Won HarnacK, theulo.
gian, delivered a short a~llocution on
the ancient conception of charity, and
Konrad Ansorge, eminent pianist,
played Beethoven's Appassionata.
The president is a cheerful host,
and his first social evening is said
to have been a complete success.

He worked into the good graces of a young business man of Yuma and employed him as manager of one Of the proposed new stores. Before go- ing away he asked this young man to cash a check for $3s.
