Are any OF the kaiser.s children quail

These amazing questions are suggested
bv the ruling Of a local court IN scnies-

arose in connection with the dukes claim

The local court ruled that such

This ruling, insignificant in itself, gains
Importance because the German en,piess
is Duke Ernest Guenther's sister. IL
Duke Ernest Guentlier does not belong
to a reigning royal family by birth. the
same railing applies to the German en-
press But the statute of equality OF
hirti, requires that the monarch's wife
shall belong to such a family, otherwise
the marriage with him would be NOR
ganatic.
The logical outcome OF the local court
ruling In that the German empress Is the
xaiser's morganatic wife. and that theit
children are deberred from the succession
to the throne. In this case the succession
would pass to the kaiser's brothef'
Prince Henry Of Prussia. and his children
