THE THRONE OF HOLLAND.
GERMAN DYNASTY SUGGESTED^ By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. London, September 18. The leading German newspapers suggest that in the event of Queen Wilhelmina remaining childless the succession should revert to the family of the Prince Consort. The leading Dutch newspapers discredit the suggestion, and urge the Government to confer universal suffrage, and thus enable the nation to declare its wishes as to how it' should be governed in the event of the Orange dynasty becoming extinct.
