Family Fight I

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

be married Elizabeth of Bavaria.
The sisters of Albert and the daughters
of the late King Leopold II. together
with A'bert's aunt, the Princess
Charlotte, seem to be divided
in their alliances with the Hohcuzollerns,
Austria, and the exited
Bourbon-Orleans family of France
The Czar is the son cf Alexander
111 and the Princess Dagmar of
Denmark. Among the relatives of
the Czar. his sister married the
')ule of Oldenburg; his aunt, the
Grand Duchess Maria, married
Queen Victoria's son .the Duke of
Edinburgh; and his uncle, the Grand

daughter of the K'ng of

War's Sad Soliloquy.
(By James Logan Mobley of Francis,

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.
Through intrigue I make the intellect
