ALL RULED BY FOREIGNERS
Not Single Nation of Europe Has
King Ruled by Its Own
Race

The curious fact is pointed out in
''T. A. T." that there is not a regning
sovereign in Europe whose family is of
the nation over which he rules.
The house of Austria is in reality
the house Of Lorraine, the Hapsburgs
being of Swiss origin. The king of the
Belgiums is of Sake -Colburg. The king
of Denmark is a Holsteiner. The king
of Spain is an Austro- Bourbon.
The king of Italy is a Savoyard. The
king of Roumania and Prince Ferdi-
nand of Bulgaria are both foreigners.
The founder Of the Bernadotte dynasty
in Sweden was a country attorney at
Pau less than century and a quarter
ago.
The czar of Russia is Holstein- Got =
torp, and the king of the Hellenes is
a Holsteiner. The Hozenhollerns were
originally suabians, and are, therefore,
partly Bavarians and partly Swiss.

JAPAN WILL BUILD NEW NAVY
Present Ships Are Becoming Obsolete
and Will Be Soon
Replaced
By Associated Press.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 22-The Jap
anese admiralty has entered upon an
elaborate scheme of naval expansion
which is expected to be approved at
the coming session of the diet. Ac-
cording to news by the Shawmut to-
day, admiralty officials say Japan's
best ships are beginning to be out of
date, and larger ships with much
heavier armaments and higher speed
will be built.
The Jill Shimpo says the battleship
of the future navy of Japan will dis
place $4,000 tons and have an arma-
ment of fourteen 12-inch guns and a
speed of 20 knots, while the future
cruisers will displace $4,000 tons and
have speed of rs knots, but no Off
cial announcement has been made in
this regard.
The Nippon gives a list of warships
about to be laid down in Yokosuku
Battleship Satsuma, $4,000 tons; at
Kure, battleship Aki, $4,000 tons; ar
mored cruiser Ikoma, 14,OO0, to be
launched in December, 1905; armored
cruiser Ikubi, $4,000 tons, to be laid
down at Yokosuku; armored cruiser
Kurama, $4,000 tons, to be laid down.
The five submarines recently added,
built in America in sections, gave such
success that the squadron will be in
creased.

The check was for a six months loan

had spent her birthday anniversary
driving a good bargain with the city
and closing up the deal. Mrs. Green
frequently lends to the city. In fact

est money lender in New York.
