BERLIN, March 1st.
There is general mourning at the death of Herr Ebert, the former saddler, whose dignity and tact, during the six years he occupied the highest position in the State, Bad enhanced the prestige he always enjoyed.
A CITY OF GRIEF
Berlin is deeply moved at Herr Ebert's death. Manifestations of respect every where are apparent. All theatres and cinemas are closed: "race-meetings have been cancelled and the performance of music in nublic places is prohibited until after Wednesday, and only solemn music may be broadcasted,

COUNTRY'S. DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
His death confronts the country with a didicult problem. Presidential elections will gear in April or May, but there is lack of suitable chadidates among the political leaders.
The names of the Conservative ex- Speaker Wallraf, General Mackensen, Herr Luther, Herr Marx and the Såcialist Loche un mentioned as a successor.
Herr Luther has the advantage of being acting President. His election would signify & Conservative victory.
Herr Marx would have the support of has section of the Republicans, but the fact that he is a Roman Catholic may pre- judice his chances.
Moreover, Herren Luther, Marx and Stresemann are all held responsible for the scandal in connection with compensa. tion paid to the Rahr magnates after the French occupation.
Much depends on whether each party noininate their own candidate or whether different parties agree on a comunen can didate. The reactionary parties may do so, but the agreement of the Republican parties is unlikely,
