SWEDEN'S GERMAN QUEEN.
In an article sent from Stockholm to the Daily Express, Mr Frederick Grundy says:— In its Queen this country is afflicted with a counterpart of the ex-Queen of Greece. ' A German Princess by birth, she seems to have grown more German by transplantation. Save for a. few of its. rr ■■• V, comparatively insignificant in but fortunately strong in faith and patriotism, Sweden at the outbreak of the wflr was overwhelmingly pro-German. "Tho centre of this worship of Pnissianism was and is the Court, and the Queen is its high-priestess. From Court and Queen the baneful influence spread throughout the country. The King is under it ; but it is recognised that the Queen has the stronger character of the two, and that lie is greatly swayed by Her. "How do- the people feel about the Queen's visits to Germany?" I asked a well-known Swede, whoso greatest ambition now is to see Sweden in the ranks of the Allies.
