BY j. w. I. MASON.
Written for the United Press

Written for the United Press.
New York, Dec. 2.-Rcports from
Berlin that the kaiser has signed IL
nal document, renouncing the throne
and absolving all officials from their
oath of allegiance to him, do not ,pcan
an end has been made to conspiracy to
return the HohenZollerns to power.
Having broken his word to civii;za-
ton, Hehenzollern would not hesitate
to recall his remuneration oath il :.,p-
ditions warranted The fact that Ger
man officials have been relieved IT their
pledge Of loyalty to the head of the
Hohenzollerns is yalueless in view of
the inbred antagonism of the German
official class to popular rule.
The most favorable factor in the sit
uation for the return of Hohenzollern
to Germany is the continued retention
of other propositions by the same old
reactionary officials who were appoint
ed under the former regime.
This part Of the German population
is not in sympathy with the curious So
cialist experiment in conservative gov
eminent now being undertaken by the
Berlin politicians. The army itself is
commanded by the same ultra militar
lists who gave their military oaths to
Hohenzollern and who have been in
eradicably educated in the doctrine of
imperialism.
The real machinery of government.
therefore, and the chiefs of the army
are undoubtedly imbued with sense
Of loyalty to HOhenzollern and are
bound together by a community of
IDEAS. Here is strong nucleus for the
growth of the idea of a 'mOnarchial res
torntion. There. is little evidence that
the Germans blame their plight on their
own sins or the aims of the militarists.
: Rather, the blame is piled upon the
rest Of the world which leagued. itself
against Germany. 3&a nag y. as.i
&, This feeling of resentment against
the planet will grow in Germany. Its
tendency will be to unite all Germans.
Through that spirit Hohenzollern my
yet find his way back to the throne.
