( 3 These figures are the result of the police survey made by direction of Mayor Hylan, just completed. | This is the survey to which Federal Fuel Administrator Garfield took exception. When he heard of it he wired Mayor Hylan to desist. The Mayor, in one of his characteristic letters, replied that he would continue the survey despite Federal admonition. The New York public had been unable to get any figures from the Fuel Administrators, and they clearly were entitled to the informa- tion, Dr. Garfield made no reply to the Mayor. Every policeman available in the five boroughs started out on the morning of Nov. 7 with his pad and pencil. They had their orders from Comissioner Enright to ascertain the amount of coal in the bins of householders, factories and coal yards. Many people refused to give out any information as to the wealth of their bing, doubtless owing to the protest from Federal Fuel Administrator Garfield. It took po- licemen one week to compute the shortage.

LONDON, Nov. 19.—The rumers that William Hohenzollern, the former German Emperor, may possibly r¢turn to Germany, as sups, a ported by the Lokal Anzeiger’s hint that he would not be refused entry - to that country, have created a considerable stir here. They are featured’ by several of the morning newspapers as creating an uncertain situation % which is rendered more doubtful by accounts of the activity of German propagandists in several countries. The fear mainly is that the former. Emperor would sooner or later Be- come the centre of a reactionary movement !n Germany when the present revolutionary storm hag blown over, and the advocates of this; view consequently fear his return to his former empire, On the other hand, the fact that’ the former ruler, placing himself or’ being placed in the hands of the new rulers of Germany, would be welcomed: in other quarters, These rulers, the Morning Post argues, should be able’ to execute judgment upon him, and in so doing would only be acting a fitting instruments of justice, * ‘There is everywhere, however, agree- ment ip the idea that the ex-Em- peror’s presence in Holland is intoler- able, and it is insisted that he must somebow be made impotent to do further mischief. ‘The reports from Holland show that the uninvited guest is becoming daily more unwelcome there, notwithstanding his quiet in retirement.

HE presence of President Wilson in Europe is “abso- lutely essential,” declared Sir Charles Ross, one of the largest landowners of the United Kingdom and inventor of the Canadian service rifle, on his ar- rival here to-day on the British steamship Orduna. He said he had come to the United States on @ “special mission,” but de- clined to say what it was, With the conclusion of an armistice, Sir Charles continued, grave economic problems con- front all Governments, and these will require caref@! handling, “The people of Great Britain and of the United States,” he reiterated in Parliament op Friday added, “do not fully understand | last thelr objections to bis presence each other, but both desire to and demanded that he be transported. A despatch to the Daily Mail from The Hague reports that the German Soldiers’ Council in Antwerp on ‘Thursday last passed a resolution that the Soldiers’ and Workmen's Council in Berlin demand the extradition of the former Emperor and the former Crown Prince, as well as certain Gen« erals, The resolution expresses belief that the ex-ruler exercises too much influence in Holland and forma the centre of countcr-revolutionary in- trigue, The Daily Express sees the possi- bilit; vf a plot to trick the Allies and create a federation far exceeding in strength and resources the former German empire. This newspaper con- tends that the former Emperor is back of Chancellor Ebert. former Chancellor Maximilian of Baden and Field Marshal von Hindenburg, and it lays emphasis upon the fact that the Emperor signed no formal abdi- cation and issued mo valedictory message, ' A number of leading Allied diplo- mats and statesmen, including Lord reach a better basiy of mutual understanding.
