In tho event of a war In Enrope of any considerable note, the relationship existing t>. tween quite a number ( of the royal families wilt bo somewhat strained. Let us Imagine that Germany and Franco pitch into each other, as they surely will beforo long; then ltussla, England and others take si-os or be t raw i into tlio ahair, as is almost tertaiii to be the < use, the first namod on the side of Fra tv a d the other with Germany. In that ovent England has a future queen—tho Princess of Wales — who would no doubt be embittered aaaln t a much-loved sister of former days in the prorent Empress of Russia. King George of Greece, will also bo unfriendly to his British relatives, as he loves not England since 1 eaconsflold robbed him of a chance to secure his proper possessions at the Berlin apportionment, following tho Russian-Turklsh war, and while his son, in whoso.favor ho propos s abdicating shortly, may hol t the samo opinions, he will look wi h a gentler eye toward England's ally, Germany, as It is from that lat d he got his wiio. Two Russian princes of tho royal house are matod with Gor i atis, and a princess Is the present Duchess of Edinburgh, and a dauglitor-in-law of tho QUiOn of England. Truly, a rot a! mixup But the m st curious position is that of lon mark Tho roignlng family of that country has powerful isolations In England, Russia. Franco, Germany and Greece, and it will bo Int'resting to know whoso cause it would espouse In tho Inevitable conflict to como. Indications point to Russia as tho favored one, tho English newspapers already containing rumors to tho oi.ect that Russia successful means tho Czarina will demand tho annexation of Schleswig-Holstein with Denmark to her father’s kingdom.
