Kaiser Property Confiscation Won by Narrow Margin
In Germany a proposed confiscation of the ex-Kaiser's properties failed to attract broad voter participation with over half of eligible voters abstaining. Among those who cast ballots the pro confiscation side won by about 20 to 1, signaling weak Kaiser loyalty and little support for restoring the monarchy. About 16 million voters supported confiscation in the special election.

Vote Refused for Ex Kaisers Crown Estates Return
About 700000 voters opposed a Reichstag plan to give the ex Kaiser title to crown estates valued at 50 million dollars. German referendum rules favored the government action, but socialist and communist groups gathered over 4 million signatures to block it. The estates will likely stay with the government. Emperor Wilhelm, once one of Europe's wealthiest men, is not in danger of want.
