VIENNA, Nov. 81 (By The Associated

Berlin FOiIs Plot
BY WackenSen TO
Restore WiLheIm

LONDON, Dec. "A plot to restore
Imperialism and secure the return of
Emperor William has been discovered
in Berlin, according to dispatch from
Amsterdam to "The Express"
According to the dispatch, which was
filed at Amsterdam on Friday, the
chief men behind the plot were Field
Marshal Won Mackensen, General Won
Born and General Count SiXt Won
Arnim. 1t is said that they instructed
the Prussian Officers Corps to carry on
Emperor agitation, beginning
Immediately after the demobilzation
OF the troops was completed Large
sums of money are said to have been
placed at the disposal of the leaders
by munition makers.
The plot collapsed owing to the fact
that Secret Service agent overheard
telephone conversation. Many arrests
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 govern
rnent
No direct evidence of William Ho-
henzolern'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

to have been in control of the financial

fused, saying that he intended to re-
tire after the rehabilitation Of the

The whole Prussian court, it is stated,

Chancellor, had promised to help.

Hohenzollern to return.
The flight of the former German Em-
peror from Germany is condemned in
many quarters there, and particularly
by the soldiers, according to the Ber-
lin correspondent of the "Berlinske
Tidende," Of Copenhagen, saws y dis
patch received here from the Danish
capital. DR.. Steinager, professor of
law, writes in Der Tag" of Berlin
as follows:
"No criticism could be too strong.
because the Emperor's action was un-
kingly, unsolderly and unmanly and
served to give the death blow to the
monarchical idea in Germany. A mon
arch cannot run away like a schoolboy.
A man VINO, like this last Of the Ho-
henzollerns, represents five centuries
of history, commits by such conduct
crime against the dynasty and the
people.
"If he thought himself incapable OF
retaining his position, the battlefront
offered him an opportunity of at least
making a kingly and dignified exit,
casting fresh lustre on the monar
chical idea.'
