Return to FatherIand.

German decision to accept the peace
terms, including the clause providing

Exactly how the former emperor was
affected by the tidings cannot be as
certained, but the attitude of members
of his party gives rise to the belief
that the news was a, considerable
shock.
Attendants made the most scathing
criticisms of the German national as.

had held to the hope that some way
would be found for the former emper.
or to RETURN to Germany. Now, how
ever, it apparently is realized that he
is exiled forever from his country.
