LONDON. Jan. 31.-The Copenhagen
correspondent Of the Daily Ne,os says n
slight indisposition caused by the severe
weather in northern France compelled
the return Of the Kaiser TO Berlin to-
day. His entry into the German capital
was kept secret and no one observed
him.
He is suffering from a chill and II
Is understood that he will not return to
the front until the weather improves.
A despatch from Rotterdam to the
Daily MoA says:
The Kaiser's return to Berlin has
been followed by great depression among
the German troops. 1000 Of whom have
been sent TO the east front because they
openly protested against being employed
in further attacks near the User.
Nevertheless, large German reinforce
ments are proceeding in the direction OF
Ypres, and huge concentration Ia TAX

districts"
According 10 a despatch from Rotter-
dam the Berlin correspondent OF the
Corrort OF that city, discussing reports
that the Kaiser has been aged by the
war, says he has seen n striking new
portrait OF the Emperor. which shows
his features TO be sharp. his cheek bones
and nose prominent and his hair white
at the temples. Everything one formerly
regarded as typical OF the Kaiser's face,
he says, has disappeared. and he gives
the impression Of a simple. aged officer,
staring earnestly.
The correspondent quotes perSn
who lately has seen the Kaiser at his
headquarters as saying
His appearance shocked me. He was

affected by circumstances. I saw him

said to have been caught red handed IN
Sicily and arrested. Other arrests and
wholesale explosions are imminent.
Sensational developments are expected

very probably may eliminate in the
