They are now approaching a conclusion. When the Prussian Parliament assembles in a few week's time it will be asked to sanction the agreement arrived at, an agreement which will mean that the Prussian State will hand over to the ex-Kaiser proper tics worth many millions of pounds. It is safe to say, that never in history has a elain been inade to such a vast amount of property.
