M ' 6 : War Quite a | Family Fight I < X ] ' I Pittsburg Dispatch. X' If the matrimonial alliances of! European royalty were allowed to play as important a part in the present muddle as they did n the middle ages, the confusion attendant on Europe's present crisis would be many times more remarked. Nearly every j ruler in Europe is in some way en-j tangled with all the others through1 family connections; and if heredi-| tary descent had anything to do with j the problems of the national align- j ments, the mess would be beyond '' solution. Take England to begin with. George V, present King, is the grandson, on his mother's side, of Christian IV, of Denmark, and the brother-in-law of Prince Charles of Denmark, who is Haakon VII, King of j Norway. Thus far tne Norse-English ties a:*e close. But the late King. Edward VII,' left a brother and two or three sisters who have helped complicate England's royalty. Prince ^Arthur (Duke of Connaught) married Princess Louise of Prussia, and their daughter married the Swedish Prince, Gustavus Adophus. Princess Helena, eldest sister of the late King, contracted an alliance with Prince Christian of Schleswig^-Hol stein, and their second daughter married a minor German Prince of Anhalt. And Princess Beatrice, youngest sister of Edward, married a son of the Prince of Hesse, from which union was born Victoria Eugenie, the bride of Alfonso XIII of Spain. England's international matrimonial alliances are simple compared with those of the German empire. The German empire is divided into four kingdoms, six grand duchies, five duchies, seven prlnci-1 palities, three free towns and the ! < Relehsland of Alsace-Lorraine?that is, so many are represented in the 1 , Bundestrat and the Reichstag. There I are numberless duchies and counties i which boast detached nobles of all grades. Almost all of the various divisions of the empire retain their , hereditary rulers, and these keep up some sort of state of their own. ' And each of these sub-divisions of ' < the German empire has its royal or ducal family, forming all sorts of alliances, not alone among the other states of the Kaiser's dominion, but among all the countries of Europe. Here are some of the alliances between the ruling families of German states and other European countries, serving to show the complications which have set in: Wilhelm II, German Emperor and King of Prussia, is the son of the . Emneror ProHori/>ii m ????_ I . . wmv* ?vn AAA (1I1U V lauilit, Princess Royal of Great Britain. I Wilhelm married the Princess Vic-' toria of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonder-, burg-Augustenburg, which names; would seem to embrace the empire. , but in spite of their length really mean only a small part. The marriage of the Kaiser's sons ' have been within the empire, with princesses of German states. But the Kaiser's sister, Princess Sophie, is married to Konstantin, Crown , Prince of Greece. The intermarriages of the reign- , ing family of the kingdom of Bavaria have been almost altogether with other German states and with | Austria. Hesse, besides that already j mentioned, possesses another bond i in common with England, for Its reigning Grand Duke is the son of Princess Alice of Great Britain and Ireland. Two of the Grand Duke's sisters made German marriages and the other two Russian?one was, the wife of the Russian Grand Duke < Sergius Alexandrovitch and the oth-jl er (the youngest) is the Czarina. < So the Grand Duchy of Hesse seems , 1 to be fairly divided. | ] The sister of the Grand Duke of i Baden is Queen of Sweden. 1 The Duke of Cumberland is the. i excluded heir to the regnancy of the I 1 Duchy of Brunswick, because he will j < not give up his claim to the throne ' of Hanover. 1 Denmark, whose affiliations we ] saw were mainly Norse and English, i is also represented in the Germnn * Toyalitles by the marriage of Its i King, Christian X, to a princess of l Mecklenburg. i viftn* TTr * u......aiiuci in, oi itaiy,11 married Elena, daughter of the!

War's Sad Soliloquy. (By James Logan Mobley of Francis, Okla., winner of $300 prize offered by "Life" a year ago.) I was conceived in passion, hatred, snvy and greed, born In the morning of antiquity, and have a genealogy whose every page drips with red blood of murdered innocence, I respect neither the feebleness of; ?ray hairs, the helplessness of In-1 fancy nor the sacredness of virtue, ' and walk, iron-shod, ruthlessly and | ' impartially over the form of the1 weakling or the form of the giant. I paint the midnight skies aj lurid glow from the burning homes I [ have ravaged, and turn peaceful J scenes of rural beauty, where God's own creatures dwell together in i amity, into a raging hell. I set J neighbor against neighbor in deadly ! combat, and I incite the brother to slay his brother. I make puppets of kings, princes ' of paupers, courtiers of courtesans and thieves of respected subjects. ' and empires melt before my breath 1 as does the mist before the morning sunlight. I make of religion fanaticism; j the heathen I make a fiend incarnate; and of all men I make playthings devoid of reason and justice.
