FRIEDERICH EBERT IS DEAD First President of German Republic Fails to Survive Operation. r.erlln. Friederich Ebert, first .president of (he German republic, died from peritonitis which followed an operation for appendicitis, There wa i probably not another leader In Germany, his Enemies ad mitted, who could have succeeded where he did, and his death four months before the presidential oleo Hon produces more confusion in a political situation already badly mud dled. Ebert started life as a Haddlomakr, but years of experience as a labor or ganizer and official of unions, together with his wide training in practical polities developed him. His lack of early OPPOrtunltlOl was compensated fur by the tra'nlng he won in the world of affairs.
