His Return To Germany May Arouse Embarrassing
 Complications

PARIS, Nov. 11.-(By Associated Press)-The German Crown Princes exile In Holland. lasting just five years, exceeded five fold that Cf Ma poleon at Elba. and 1t remains for the council of ambassadors to decide whether the erstwhile heir to the crown of Prussia Is attempting to play the role of Bonaparte, whether some St. Helena must be provided for him before 100 days have elapsed, CT whether he is just plain MT. Hohen- zollern. trying to lead a quiet life as a private citizen and as much will be permitted to remain in the Father land.
 The future adjustment of Freder- ick Williams life is now entirely up to the ambassador council insofar as the reich government will heed It's advice and that august body abso- lutely refuses to enlghten the ex- pectant populations B to what rec concentrations, notes or ultimatums- if any-it will send to the Berlin government on the subject.
 It was even said in official circles today that the ambassadors council meeting fixed for tomorrow might be postponed until Tuesday. The reason given for the possible postponement was that "the ambassadors probably
  their respective governments in time to deal with the matters before them.'
 In French diplomatic circles there was a well-defined tendency today to minimize the importance of the re- turn of the former crown prince, this being ranked as secondary to the re- fusal of the German chancellor to agree to provide protection for the inter -allied missions for military control in Germany which subject IS on the ambassadors agenda The French press, taking its cue from official circles, is devoting scant comment to the prince.
 Not Unduly Important.
 Premier Poincare~ is reported on excellent authority to have remarked today the French government is not attaching undue importance to the crown princess escapade, as Fred erick William is merely second rate actor on the worlds stage. The note drawn up by the council of ann bassadors and signed by M. Poincare as President, protesting against the return of the crown prince to Ger many and delivered to the German charge on Friday for transmission to hij government. said in part:
 The allied governments refuse 10 believe that Germany could have d
 The German government can be under no misapprehension re- garding the deplorable impression such return would produce on all the allied countries. IL IS tue allied governments duty to draw upon this situation the German gov ernment's attention"
 The sharp contrast between the attitude of French official circles to- day and the sentiments expressed in the ambassadors note under the French premier's signature is said to be due to the fact that the allied governments, now confronted with a fait accompli, do not wish to place themselves in position of making such demands upon Germany as Ger many might refuse to grant, causing a grave loss of prestige on the part of allied diplomacy, oy of resortlng to measures of coercion, in which some of the allies are not desirous of jGining.
 Thus, in view of the record of the amba bassador's council in settling the Italo- -Greek-Corfu unpleasantness, 1t has been decided to leave the entire question to that body.
 There is no doubt that representa- tions of some sort will be made to Germany, but whether in the form of an ultimatum or persuasive rep resentations, no hint is given.
