Abdications in Germany Will Include Total of 278 of Royal Families

A German professor figures out that the abdication and dethronements in Germany include 278 persons. Bavaria leads, with one king, one queen, 15 princes, 16 princesses, five dukes and one duchess. Prussia has sent 33 royalties into exile, Including the emperor, the empress, 20 princes and 11 princesses. Brunswick is at the bottom of the list, with only the ducal couple and their three children. The two tiny principalities of Reuss, whoss area is hardly one-three hundredths part of that of Prussia, have exiled 36 royalties. The principality of Lippe, only about 20 square miles larger than the Reuss states, had a royal family numbering 24 persons. Most extraordinary is the case of Schaumberg-Lippe, with its area of ”'l3O square miles, where there was nearly one royal personage for every five square miles. These included the reigning prince, seventeen princes and seven princesses.
