go home. Many Frenchmen think
that he would not desire to return
from exile until public opinion were
so prepared in Germany that he could
return as hero rather than sort of
pardOned conspirator.
The Hague correspondent of the
Amsterdam Telegram today reported
that he understood from a most au-
thoritative source" that there was no
question of the former Kaiser avail
ing himself in the immediate future
of any opportunity to return to Ger
many.
The clause in the Prussian state
agreement which has caused much
comment in Germany is as follows:
"Allowing for his former majesty's
eventual wishes. the state places the
Castle of HombuumX at the disposal
of the ex-kaiser and his princess wife
for life."

a r ubber hose, Is mixed with oxygen,
and then forced through a glass con-
tanier filled with soda lime, which re-
moves the carbon dioXide. 1t then
passes through another container

dries the air. which is then re-
pumped into the hood.
For DeliriOus Patients.
The other form of Oxygen tent
intended for patients who are de-
lirious, is an aluminium walled cham
ber large enough to contain a bed
and to allow nurse and doctor to be
at the bedside.
The warmth of the patients body
causes the oxygen charged air to
rise to the top of the chamber. where
1t is chilled by cod aluminium pipes
being thereby forced back to the
floor. where the carbon dioxide is re-
moved by soda lime placed under the

APATHET|C
OVER EX-KA|SER
Possible Return of Former
Emperor to FatherIand
Now Believed Remote.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, October 9.-The French
public has shown comparatively little
interest in the possibility that the
former Kaiser may return to Ger
many under the terms of the proposed
Prussian bill for the settlement of his
property.
The entire' matter is one for the
German Republic to decide. it was re-
marked in official circles today. Since
the former German Emperor is
guest Of Holland and since the allied
governments have given up the idea
of bringing him to judgment for his
share in the responsibility of bringing
on the World War, it is felt that the
allied governments scarcely could ask
the Dutch kingdom to make him a
prisoner in their own country.
The feeling was prevalent, however,
that if the former Kaiser were well
coined back to Germany without Sc
rious resistance or protest it would
give a sure indication of the real SEN
timents of the republic with reference
to him. Some skepticism is expressed
as to whether he has any desire to
