what holdings may properly be looked

The order creating the commission
provides for thorough search of real

termining the title and says the find
ings must be placed before the nation
al assembly so that proper disposition
may be made of the lands and palaces
which the government will take over.
Already there is some discussion on
this point. Nearly all of the emperor's
castles and palaces are now being used

Potsdam palace has become a hospital.
In other districts they are being util-
lied as barracks for troops as in the
