the British newspapers are beginning &
to show anxiety over the possible re-
turn to Germany Of former Emperor

Paris and Brussels that he had OBJ
tanned his passports are featured
significantly this morning.
It is said the visit Of DR.. Kan.
Dutch official, at Doorn House yes
terday, was to inform the ex-kaiser
that the powers of Europe would not
regard his return with indifference.
None OF the London correspondents
at Oels. Upper Silesia. or elsewhere
had been able to locate Crown Prince
Frederick william up to midnight
last night, thus discounting pre-
vious dispatch that the prince had ar
rived at his estate yesterday morn

Interest in his return is now very
feeble. The newspapers commenting
on it hold that his re-entry into Ger
many is not an incident of sufficient
importance to justify that allied ac-
ton which seems to be favored in

The Deutsche Zeitung, one Of the
most outspoken of the monarchist
officers and other hundred per cent

containing the surprising charge that
the prince had been 'verjudet." or
"be-jewed" Maurenbrecher declares
book-being unable to write 1t him
self-gave 1t to a. Jew to write. and
that the Jew slipped in quantities of
Jewish propaganda.
This was Karl Rosner. the former
kaiser's favorite war correspondent,
from Verdun concerning the crown
princes invincible bravery. Mauren-
brecher especially resents the state
ment In the princes book that all
German citizens are equal in his eyes,
whether they be Jews or Christians.
Maurenbrecher's complaint may
sound merely funny, but such talk
is extremely effective as propaganda

The real reasons for the opposition
Of monarchist officers and politicians
TO the crown prince are perhaps two:
First, that the prince has an inglori-

lives, and ran away from danger. like

second. he is the subject of a multi
