TINY STATE.
Little Reuss-Greiz Makes Faces at
the German EmperOrs.
From the Chicago Record.

the German EmperOrs.
From the Chicago Record.
Reuss-Greiz is a tiny place in Germany,
ruled by a sovereign prince who never for
gets that he is descended from Henry the
Fowler. He is the worldly lord anointed
over l22 square miles of territory, and
So 1904 souls, % miles Of railway and a ma
tional debt of S29.025. In his might he has
ever refused to be reconciled 20 the new
German empire, and he dehes William of
Hohenzollern as often as William of Ho-
nenzollern gives him a chance. He has
refused TO give place in his land TO
monument to Emperor William l., and,
as he owns all OF the conspicuous sites In
his princlpality, his word has settled the
matter.
A few days ago he received a request
from Emperor william III. to celebrate on
this March p in common with the other
federal princes, the one hundredth ami
versary OF the old emperors birthday.
Perhaps with all his troubles in the cabi-
net young william had forgot the bitter
enmity OF Reuss-Greiz. Perhaps he
thought the prince had forgotten Il. Per-
hans he was informed that his great and
good cousin was ready 20 bury the Ratchet.
AT all events ne made a mistake and paid
the penalty. for Reuss-Grelz replied tartly
that Emperor William l. would not be
honored by her 55.9Oi miles, and that her
anointed ruler would not recognize the
fact such a man as young Williams grand
father had existed. 80 while the rest OF
the empire rcjolcos and sets on fireworks
ln honor OF the old emperor, Reuss-Crelz's
l22 miles remain dark and silent and the
descendant OF Henry the Fowler sits grim
and defiant IN his palace with hlH back
turned toward the old castle Ia Berlin.
