EXPECT KAISER
WILL RETURN TO
GERMANY SOON
Former Emperor Obser-
YES Birthday Today at
Doom Castle.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press Staff Correspondent


BERLIN, Jan. 27.-While the for
m"r Kaiser celebrated his 6Sth
birthday at Doom today. National
lists here permitted it to become
known that Wilhelm expected soon
to return to Germany after the for
nation of the New Marx cabinet iii
which members of the national par
" would have influential roles.
Wilhelm, Nationalists intimated
today, would await the upshot of
the first few weeks of right wing
government in Germany. Then,
quietly. perhaps secretly, he would
leave Doom where he found refuge
after his flight from Germany in
November, 1918, for Homburg Won
Der Hoehe, near Frankfort, where
the Russian government has granted
him use of magnificent castle.
Political observers here agreed
that the personnel of the proposed
new cabinet would be such that Will
helm could return to Germany with
impunity. It was believed President
Won Hindenburg, supported by the
Nationalist. would Illustrate any
movement to expcl the former kais
err.
Although the Nationalists dis
agreed among themselves regarding
the dcsirability Of Wilhelm's re.
storation to the throne, they Nir
tually were unanimous in believing
that he is entitled to reside in Ger
many and would oppose any effort
to dcport him.
Another version Of the Kaiser's
plans said he told the Dutch author
tiles after his recent attacks of in
flucnza that the climate at Doom
was unsuitable and his return TO
Germany was essential for reasons
of health. -
