LIBERALS, RADICALS
 WILL FIGHT AGREEMENT
German Political Parties Are Op- posed To Financial Pact With
 Hohenzollerns

Berlin, Oct. LP-Liberal and radical party leaders Of Russia in- dicated today that they would fight the clause in the new Hohenzollern indemnity and settlement bill en- vsaging a possible return of the former kaiser to Germany.
 The clause reads: "Allowing for his former maiesty's eventual wishes the state places the castle of Hom- burg at the disposal of the ex-kaiser and his princess wife. for life"
 That" says the Liberal Morgens- post, ''means nothing more or less than that William, If he is inclined. can return to Germany. The clause certainly sound suspicious in view of Williams recent sub-rosa mon archistic activities,
 The crown prince has violated the conditions Of his return to Ger many by attempting to get his son into the roichswehr. What guaran- tee have we that the kaiser, if all lowed 10 return. will not attempt to overthrow the republic?"
 The Nationalist Lokal-Anzeiger passes over the paragraph by re marking that similar clause was contained in the previous settlement bill, which the diet defeated. The full meaning of the text seems to have escaped both the parliament tarians and the public at that time.
 It is also mentioned as curious that the drafters of the bill took pains to set aside a special castle, when the former kaiser's family is said to own seventy castles, only part of which would be taken over under the nresent bill.
