GERMAN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
HAS BEEN OPENED AT WEIMAR
l W. C. A. OPENS
WORK IN ITALY
Tea and Club Rooms Opened for
American Women.
Min Charlotte ,Nlven, Director of Ital
ian Work, Prepares for Influx of
American Woman Students.
Weimar.—The opening of the na
tional assembly this afternoon was
impressive for its solemnity," earnest
ness and simplicity. Chancellor
Ebert’s opening speech, the delivery
of which occupied a half hour, was
frequently interrupted. The Court
theater was thronged long before the
appointed time.
It was a democratic looking crowd,
well, though plainly dressed, that
shuffled its way through the snow to
• thg theater, for everyone walked, save
one carriage and one automobile
party. Following a brief review of
an* infantry honor company, everyone
sought the interior of the theater.
Herr Ebert received only a brief
ovation on his entry, He found him
self so heckled by independent social
ists 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. He aroused approval
when he began by declaring:
“We havje done forever with. princ«a
and nobles, by the grace of God.”
He said the German people was
now ruling itself.
There was disapproval mixed with
approval when he declared the revolu
tion would decline responsibility for
the shortage of food and the defects
In food in Germany. ' •
Need, the chanceTTor contiriued, de-
livered Germany to\her enemies, hut
he protested against being a slave to
Germany’s enemies for 30. 40 or 60

U. 8. HOSPITALS IN NORTH
CAROLINA TO BE CLOSED
Italy is now Included In the wir
work of the American Y, W. C, A.
Miss Mabel Warner of Salina, Kan.,
and Chicago left Paris a few days ago
for Rome, where she will be in charge*'
of a Hostess House for American girls
employed there by the American Red
Cross, the Embassy and the new Tu
berculosis Commission. Miss Warnei
has been director of the >Y. W. C. A.
Hostess House at Brest, France.
Miss Warner will open a tea room
and club rooms where the American
women can gather “for social times.
Rome is harboring a refuge populafion
of about 40,000 and accommodations
are difficult to find.
The work In Rome was started ns a
direct result of the appeal of MLss
Charlotte Niven, one of the National
Y. W. C. A. secretaries of Italy, who Is
spending a few months in France as
advisor In the French work.
Miss NlvA’s dreams of Y. W. C. A.
work In Italy Include the maintenance
of a residence for non-Italian women,
who, she feels, will come to Italy In
great numbers after the war to study
music and art.
*T believe at this time such a project
la particularly Important because wo
men from other countries, should be
encouraged to come to Italy to replace
the great numbers of German women
who flooded Italy In the past, many-of
them paid agents of their govern
ment,” Miss Niven said In discussing
her plans.
Miss Niven has asked the American
Y. V- C. A - t0 a,d the Itn>*an Associa
tion In establishing a center, perhaps
at-Genoa, with two American secreta
ries, with physical and''recreational
training, to act as a training school for
Italian women. In connection with It
her plan Vould include a Hostess House
for girls passing through The city of
employed there. Such a center would
become eventualy the center for all
Y. W. C. A. wo#k in Italy, both Italian
and foreign.
In her formal appeal for help for the
Unione Crlstiana Delle Giovanl (the
Italian name for Young Women’s
Christian Association) Miss Niven has
emphasized twd facts, the poverty of
the Italian Association on the one hand
and the need and opportunity op the
other for an Amerionn program in
Italy at the present tljiie.
Miss Niven’s favorite way of Illus
trating the friendliness of the Italian
woman to America Is'hy~TeTHng
story of the Italian mother who said
she had taken down the picture of the
Madonna which had hung for many
years over her bed - nd was putting in
Its place one of President Wilson. _

lacked trained leadership as well as
the material resotfrces to give such
training We have hnd.no means to
