Berlin. May 2l.-"King George OF
England is German through and
through. He is no more an English
man than any German citizen OF pure
~ Teutonic descent"
This Is the keynote OF numerous ar
ticles In the German newspapers, in
which King George is requested to
maintain good relations with Germany
and show himself more friendly to
Germans than Edward.
IF George Is our enemy he will be
a traitor to his own blood" This ar
gument is repeated on all sides by the
demonstration of how purely Ger
man George is. His pedigree consists
of 12S ancestors. OF these, lis are
Germans, mostly of minor German
princes and grand dukes. Even his
mother. who was Danish princess. is
descended from German families. for
tho whole Danish dynasty Is of purely
German origin.
For the last seven generations King
Georges ancestors. paternal and ma
ternal, are purely German. 1t is neces-
sary to go back to the grandmother
of George l.. Elizabeth stuart, to find
tifc first and almost the only English
blood in Georges veins, and Elizabeth
was really Scottish and not English at
all.
