Show COPENHAGEN, Nov. 26 Chancellor Ebert is reported In a dispatch from tho semi-official Wolff bureau of Berlin Ber-lin as having addressed a conference to delegates from various parts of Germany, who gathorod in tho chancellor's chan-cellor's palace yesterday, and to have urged co-operation throughout the former empire in dealing with tho present situation. Tho conference Includes In-cludes a few former diplomats, a number num-ber of widely known deputies who arc now taking part in tho government of tho various states and also several new men, somo of whom wore soldiors or sailors. Tho chancellor said that when the present government took charge everything ev-erything was In ruins. Now a Socialist Social-ist republic has replaced the monarchy and power had been put in the hands of the workinon and soldiers. The first aim to bo achieved, Horr Ebert contlnuod, was peace and the socurlty of the economlo basis. Every workman work-man and soldier, ho declarod, must labor to his utmost for the upbuilding of the state. Liberty was worthless without food and employment, he pointed out, and tho summoning of a national assembly was necessary to secure the co-operation of the central cen-tral administration and tho federated states. The cabinet would on Tuesday, said Herr Ebort, consider a bill for tho election elec-tion of a national assembly, but pro- mediately ,mado for the government of the federated omplro. Dr. Solf, tho minister of foreign affairs, af-fairs, declared the situation was extremely ex-tremely threatening owing both "to the enemy's will to destroy" Germany and tho separatist movements in that country. Ho based his hope of solving solv-ing the' pressing problems upon the conference then in session. Kurt Eysner, the Bavarian Socialist premier, protested sharply that both Herr Ebert and Dr. Solf were compromised com-promised by being representatives of the old rogime. LONDON, Nov. 26 Tho German government has adopted the program framed by the later Albert Ballln, director di-rector of the Hamburg-American line, and tho ship owners' unions, binding Germany to build ships exclusively for the Allies at fixed prices in return for which Germany will retain her rner-I rner-I chant fleet, says a dispatch to thja Dally Express from AmGterdam.
