London. Nov. 19.-The rumors
that william Hohenzollern. the
, former German Emperor. may posi-
bly, return to Germany as supported
by the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger's hint
that he would not be refused an entry
TO that country. have created con-
siderable stir here. They are featur-
ed by several of the morning news
papers as creating an uncertain situa-
tion which Is rendered more doubt
full by accounts of the activity of Ger
man propagandists in several coun-
tries.
The fear mainly Is that the former
Emperor would sooner or later be-
come the center of reactionary
, movement in Germany when the
present revolution storm has blown
over and the advocates of this view
consequently fear his return to his
former empire.
On the other hand the fact of the
, former ruler placing himself or being
placed in the hands of the new rulers
of Germany would be welcomed in
other quarters. These rulers, the
Morning Post argues, should be able

in so doing would only be acting as
fitting instruments of justice.

A dispatch tn the Daily Mail from
The Hague reports that the German
Soldiers council in Antwerp on
Thursday last adopted a resolution
that the Soldiers and Workmen's
Council in Berlin demand the extra
dition of the former Emperor and the
former Crown Prince, as well as GER
tain Generals. The resolution ex-
presses belief that the ex-ruler exer-
cises too much influence in Holland
and form the center OF counter-re-
evolutionary intrigue.
The Daily Express sees the posi-
bility of a plot To trick the Allies and
create federation for exceeding in
strength and resources the former
German empire. In the course of a
long article this newspaper contends
that the former Emperor is back of
Chancellor Ebert, former Chancellor
Macmillan of Baden and Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg. and il lay EN-
phasis upon the fact that the Emperor
signed no formal abdication and issu-
ed no valedictory message.
Plot Il Seen.
A number of leading allied diplo-
mats and statesmen. including Lord
Robert Cecil, Under Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, believe that
