German President Under Knife.
 Luther Takes Place
fly The Associated Press.

Berlin, Feb. 24.--Presidcnt Ebert underwent an operation for appen- dicltis at 1 o'clock this morning in the West sanjtarium whither he was rushed late last night.
 At 10 a. m. his surgeons Issued a statement saying that the operation had required moro than an hour but that 1t was successful and that the presidents condition was considered satisfactory.
 The operation was performed by Professor August Bier of Berlin uni- versity, one of the most eminent surgeons in Germany, assisted by Dr. Richard Krueger, Rl
 Health Had Been Bad
 The president had not been in igood health for the last two weeks. being confined to his bed most of the time. He was supposed to be suffering from influenza, but fouhd himself able to attend the presi- dential farewell luncheon for the departing American ambassador, Mir. Houghton. last Tuesday. and seemed in . good mood at that time.
 Subsequently he grew worse and was compelled to cancel and decline engagements. The attack of appen- dicitis came on top of gallstone trouble from which the president has also suffered.
 When Professor Bier, after an ex- animation of the patient last night. ordered an immediate operation grave apprehension was felt over tho outcome by many, inasmuch as the presidents nervous system had been badly shaken by his disappoint- ment over the verdict in the Mag deburg libel suit in which he was exooriated by the judge, and by his grief over the continuing personal attacks against him in connection with the Barmat loan affair, even though 1t was shown that he had not acted incorrectly:
 The surgeons gave no details of the operation beyond stating that Herr Ebert was under the anesthe- tic for an hour and that he had passed a satisfactory night" A

Luther Takcs Charge

similar statement was made by the presidents secretary.
 I.nther Takes Charge
 Chancellor Luther last night was cnlled from a banquet being held in his honor to take over the presi- dential duties In addition to the chancellorship, as provided for by the constitution in such emergencies.
 The doctors have repeatedly urged Herr Ebert to take a long rest and seek 6 curt, but he has steadfastly refused to consider this course as he felt that his duties required his pres ence in Berlin.
 At the request of the surgeons, Frau Ebert did not accompany her husband when ho was removed in a snowstorm from his residence in tho Wilhelmstrasse at II o'clock last night, but his son. Fritz and State Secretary Meissner accompanied him and remained at the sanitarium un- til tho operation was performed.
 The patients tempcratures rose very high immediately after the operation, but toward 1 o'clock it sank to 30 centigrade.
 Frau Ebert went to the hospital to see her husband at Q o'clock, and about an hour aftcrward the an- nouncement was made that his con- dition was satisfactory.
 Much Important Business
 President Ebert's transfer of rowor to Dr. Luther who now is both chancellor and chief executive, was necessitated by the fact that much of the business before the president would admit of no delay. It includes the appointment of fed- eral officials, the exercise of the power of pardon. which is much in- voked in Germany because of the capital punishment provisions in the laws: the issuance of decrees. the reception of foreign diplomats. the ratification of treaties, and the is- suance of letters of commission to federal representatives at home and abroad.
 At the executive offices 1t was in dicated that all business admitting of delay would be postponed so as not to over-burden the chancellor.
 Matthew F. Hanna, American charge d'affairs, called on Foreign Minister Stresemann at the foreign office to inquire about the president and express regrets at his illness. Both at the foreign office and at the sanitarium there was constant stream of diplomatic callers inquir- ing for his condition.
 The Berlin press indicates that President Ebert's illness will, under the most favorable conditions, pre- vent his attending to his official duties for three or four weeks. Un- der article 51 of the constitution 1t is provided the chancellor may act l when the president is incapacitated. but 1t is stipulated that if the indis- position continues for a long time | the .Reichstag must take action re- garding the filling of the place. The is so vague on this point | that apparently it is intended that the Reichstag might either select a successor for the unexpired term Of | a president or call new election.
