By the Associated Press.
LONDON, December "A plot to
restore Imperialism and secure the
return Of Emperor William has been
discovered in Berlin, according to q
dispatch from Amsterdam to the Ex-
press.
According to the dispatch, which
was filed at Amsterdam on Friday, the
chief men behind the plot were Field
Marshal Won Mackensen, Gen. Won
Born and Gen. Count Sixt Won Arnin.
It is said that they Instructed the
Prussian officers corps to carry on a
pro-emperor agitation, beginning i'm
mediately after the demobilization Of
the troops was completed. Large
sums of money are said to have been
placed at the disposal of the leaders
by munition makers.
Collapse Of Plot Reported.
The plot collapsed, owing to the fact
that secret service agent overheard
a telephone conversation. Many ar
rests have been made in Berlin and
other cities. while the government has
long lists Of suspects who had planned
to seize members of the present gov
ernment.
No direct evidence of William Ho-
henzollern's connection with the plot
has been found, it is said, but it Is be-
lieved that the outline of the plan
was brought to Berlin by two Of his
suite, who recently went to the Ger
man capital for the ostensible purpose
Of taking the wife of the formsr en-
peror to Amerongen, Holland.
W
lis said to have been in control Of the
financial arrangements. Field Marshal
Won Mackensen is reported to have
attempted to induce Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg to join, but the latter re-
fused, saying that he intended to re-
tire after the rehabilitation OF the
army.
/ The whole, Prussian court. It Is
stated, was in sympathy with the plot
ters, and 1t is said that Prince Won
Bueiow and DR.. George Michaelis. for
mer imperial chancellor, had promised
to help. Tho plan was to organize q
provisional government under Field
military leader and then urge William
Hohenzollern to return.

the big guns roar.
have seen sightsIl never saw before
and can't say that | am crazy TO see
them again, but suppose | will but
it will be some time any way.
We had all kind of shells and gas
shot at us and those crazy old aeropla-
pes would come over the line and drop
bombs at us, but they did not do much
harm and I'll tell you, while they were
doing little bit were doing a lot
We were on the strongest front
the Germans had. 1T was near -., but
it is not there any more. 1T makes one
pretty shaky the first day or so, but
one gets used 20 it and can lie down
and rest, but think could rest bet
ter in SD. Ha. Fla.
| don't think it will be long until it
it is over. | am looking forward to a
great time when ! come home.
Now Mother don't want you to
worry about me, for am all right, and

are having.
saw some Of the Ohio boys the other
day but did not see anyone | knew
! will have lots to tell you when !
come home, but you know we must be
careful what we write for fear the
enemy get hold of it, but don't think
they will be our enemy long. ! guess
you can see by the papers what the
kaki boys are doing | can tell you
they are raising "old Ned with the
Germans. You just keep your eye on
tire papeas and see what we do.
Well, Mother think of YOU every
day, and wonder what you would like
TIE best for me to bring home for you,
Now you can bet | will bring all tie

Well sis, | surely would love to see
that big boy of yours. | would pincl
his toes and make him cry to see what
you would do. Ha. Ha. I'll bet you al,
some crank over him know Mother
has him spoiled by this time.
am writing on my mess kit, SO Jon
will excuse writing.
