SOME ROYAL COUPLES
International Royal marriages have not stopped war, but war may have had a somewhat deleterious effect in the -aforesaid marriages. An American writer has been figuring it out this way: "The Queen of Belgium is a German and.-'a Bavarian princess. One is inclined -to wonder what she thinks, of the presence m Belgium of Bavarian armies who would be overjoyed at the chance to shoot her husband. The King of Greece is supposed to be pro-Ally and certainly the people of Greece are pro-Ally, but the Queen of Greece is a sister of the German Emperor It is probably a vile slander, but it hj widely believed that the King of Greece ha's not been suffering from a disease but from a knife wound inflicted b" his wife in her efforts to preserve the neutrality of Greece. Of course, that is carrying neutrality a little too far. \ wife ought not to stab her husband, no matter how provoking he may be."
