Vcnizelos and the Mackerizen and Arnim Head Conspir acy, Financed Bv Munition Makers, to Bring Back Hohenzollerns and Reinstate the Monarchy Many Arrests Follow. LONDON, December 2. A plot to restore immediately imperialism and tho return of Emperor William has been discovered In Berlin, according to a dispatch from Amsterdam to the Express. According to the dispatch, which was filed at Amsterdam on Friday, tho chief men behind the plot were Field Marshal von Mackensen Gen eral von Born and General Count Sixt von Arnlm. Large sums of money are said to have been placed at the disposal of the leaders by munition-makers. The plot collapsed owing to the fact that a secret service agent over heard a telephone conversation. Many arrests have been made In Berlin and other cities while the government has long lists of suspects who bad planned to seize members of tho present government. ,-j Hohenzollem's Connection No direct evidence of William Ho henzollem's connection with the plot has been found, It is said, but it is believed that the outline of the plan was brought to Berlin by two of his suite who recently went to the Ger man capital for the ostensible pur pose of taking the wife of the em peror to Amorengen, Holland. Lieut.. Dr. Gustav Krupp von Boh- len is said to have been In control of tho financial arrangements. Field Marshal von Mackenson Is reported to have attempted to Induce Field Marshal von Hlndenburg to join but the latter refused, saying that he in tended to retire after the demobili zation of the army. Court in Sympathy The whole Prussian court, it is said, was In sympathy with the plot- tors and it is said that Prince von Buelow and Dr. Georg Mlchaells, for mer imperial chancellor, had prom ised to help. , The plan was to organ- lze a provisional government under Field MnrBhal von Mackenson i or some military leader and then urge WUHftm Hohonzollef ti (9 return, PLOT TO RESTORE EX-KAISER FOILED BY GOVERNMENT NO. 215 AUCANS CROSS LINE OF INLAND General Dickman's Armv of Occupa tion Enters Germany. Advancing 12 : Miles in E'.emv Territory Rece.lv-:' - ed in Silence by People Who Main tain Studied Air of Indifference Even the Band Fails to Jar Popula tionSoldiers Watch Yanks. AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPA TION, Dec. 1 (By Associated Press) No demonstrations, either friendly or hostile, marked the entrance of Major General Dickman's army, into -Germany today. The frontier was crossed early in the day and by night fall the Americans had moved for ward 12 miles, reaching Bagden on the left and Saarholzbach on the right. The line extended alonp the Saar river and thru Saarburg and Treves. The reception given the Americans differed from that encountered in Luxemburg and parts of Belgium and France. , There they were welcomed as deliverers. The attitude of. the population of Rhenish Prussia was different. It was evident that even the children had been schooled In the role they must play. Otllcers and men were not Bur prised by the lack of display of flags and the absence of the -cheering crowds o which they had been ac customed, but they did not expect the calm silence. Viewed in Silence ' - On the Luxemburg, side of the Mo selle river the streets of the villages were filled with those out to Bay good-bye to the departing troops or by those who paused to or from church. Across the Moselle ' the streets of the villages were almost deserted. Perhaps 85 per cent of the population remained within their homes and in a majority of cases the blinds were drawn. Here and there a German stood in the doorway watching the troops pass and occa sionally groups assembled at street corners, but there were no signs of either pleasure or disapproval. Larger crowds "were encountered in Treves, the largest place occupied later in the day, but even there most of the people maintained always a studied air of indifference. ' So far as possible the men In khaki were Ignored. Once in a while the young sters under six years of age were car ried away by the excitement and dis played enthusiasm over the march ing troops, but their forgetfulness was corrected promptly . by some older person. Brown Governor Brigadier General Preston Brown, tho, military governor for occupied territory has established his head quarters at Treves, which also has been made advanced general head quarters. ' General Pershing will spend part of his time at Treves. Civil affairs wilt be directed by Major General Harry Smith. The troops marched into the head quarters town with bands playing, but even the music nnd the presenco of dozens of high ranking American officers failed to jar the population from its attitude of calm silence. A curiouc feature of the situation was the presence along the line of march of large numbers of discharg ed German soldiers, both officers and men, still in full uniform. Along the roads and in Treves these gray-clad men moved In and out of the groups of mon in khaki or stood on the sldo walks watching the marching col umns. At several places In the city and in the country district, Germans, nrmod with rifles were seen acting as civilian guards. The allied commissions which have been in communication with tlio Ger mans have notified the local author ities both In Treves and In othor places that whore the civilian author ities are not troublosome and whore they cooperate with the forces of oc cupation, they will be permitted to remain at their posts and will not be disturbed except Insofar as It Is nec essary for the carrying out of mili tary measures, 1 . ,
