Germans Rule Europe.

Europe may be said to be ruled en-
sirely by Germans, since the heads OF
reigning houses are, for the most part,
of German origin. The British royal
house is of pure German descent. The
Austrian emperor is German and so
are the Spanish princes. The king o!
Denmark is a German. The king of Swe-
den is of French ancestry (the founder
of the present line was Bernadotte).
but his recent ancestors have been Ger.
mans In fact, the French royal lines,
the Portuguese and the Italians are the
only non-Germans among the royal
houses of Europe. Even the kings and
princes of the former Turkish provinces
