ALL KINDS Of KINGS
IN EUROPEAN WAR
Gar Tops the List, Being the Largest
Assortment Of Any Other
Ruler.


five, celebrated in the annals Of Scrip
ture, is far surpassed by the present
European war. How far may be IN
dictated by the statement that if
Spain should throw in her lot with
France, as has been suggested. i:
would mean an addition Of % kings tc
the forces Of the Triple Entente. For
the kings Of Europe bear many ana
diverse titles; and Alfonso XIII, King
OF Spain, has "a other royal titles 10
his credit. He is officially known as
King Of Spain CASTLE and Leon Ara
gon, the Two Scilies, Jerusalem, Ma
varre, Granada, and so down to the
Canary Isles, the East and West IN
dies, India and the Continent Of the
an Archduke Of Austria.
Many Of the heads Of the older
houses, after leading off like Alfonso
with the title which marks them as
rulers Of the whole country, follow
with the titles which confer S0vcr-
eighty over the smaller donna MS to
which every European country was
divided in the fcudal period. More
over, a king never admits if he can
help it that he has ceased to be kin"
of anything
SO it comes about, for instance
that they are two Others besides AL
fOnSO who may on occasion claim
titles as kings of Spain. They are
Emanuele FilibertO, Duke of AOsta
and cousin Of the King Of Italy, and
Don Jaime, head Of the Carlst house.
Alfonso and his cousin, the Count Of
Ctserta, both hold the title Of King
Of the Two Sicilies; but the King of
Italy, who is actual ruler Of the Two
Sicilies, does not.
The EmeprOr Of AUSTRIA the King
Of Spain, the Count of Cascrta and
Don Jaime, all hold the title Of King
Of Jerusalem. The actual ruler Of
that city, the Sultan OF Turkey, styles
himself not the King, but the Seravnt
OF Jerusalem Cor, as the Arabs call It,
Kuds). That rulers full rank and
entitulature is Emperor Of the Otto
mans, Caliph Of the Mussulmans
Prince Of the Faithful, Servant of the
Cities Of Medina, Mecca and KudG
Sultan Of the Lands and Sons and
Padishah Of Turkey
The Emperor of Austria styles hin
self Grand Volvode Of Servia and
Grand Duke Of Tuscany, though the
first is now ruled by the King of
Servia and the other by the King Of
Italy. The title of King Of Hanover,
which is now part Of Prussia, was for
long time claimed by the Duke Of
Cumberland and the question was
settled only with the marriage of the
Princess Victoria, Luise Of Prussia 70
the son Of the pretender to the throne
Of Hanover
There is still a Princess Imperial
of Brazil, though that country has
been a republic since 1889. There are
a near-king Of France and a Napc.
leonic pretender though as neither
has ever ruled neither ever has
claimed the title There is also n
pretender, Miguel of Braganza to the
throne Of Portugal, as we'll as the
celebrated former King Manuel of
that country.
Another title which seems to he
almost as general among the royalty
Of Northern Europe~as that Of colone1
in Kentucky is the designated king
Of the Wends and Goths." This is
borne in the form given by the King
Of Sweden and the King Of Denmark
while the Grand Dukes Of Mccklen
burg and of Mecklcnburg-Strelit are
Princes Of the Wends and the Ger
man Emperor is Duke Of the VENTS
The Carr of Russia claims the titles
Of Duke of Oldenburg and Prince O
Bulgaria, though both of these coun
tries are ruled by other men, and i
is little more than a century ago thai
the Kings Of Great Britain and Ire
land dropped the title Of King .
France from their list.
The Prince Of Monac though IL
rules one Of the smallest states il
Europe, has nevertheless II titles
They are. variously prince, duke, mar
quis, count, baron and seigneur.
The German Emperor is also Kins
OF Prussia, Margravc Of Brandenburg
