Rotterdam, June 1.-The bitter enmity
to their native country displayed by Ger

GUM and the CZarina, both of whom
were German princesses, is said TO have
induced the Kaiser to VOW never again
TO attempt to make friends for Germany
through royal marriages.
Discussing the subject with his staff
at the dinner table recently. the Kaiser
said. according to a Strassburg paper re-
ceived here today:

owe their Fatherland. but German wom-

The Kaiser evidently forgot that at
OF her times he has repeatedly maintain
ed that a wife should have no opinion
on any subject but that of her husband.
to whom she belongs body and soul.
What particularly disSusts the Kaiser
is the failure of German-born queens to
swing their royal husbands over to the
side of Germany. The Queen of Bulgaria
is Princess of Reuss. the Queen of Hol-
land is of German origin and married to
German prince. the Queen of sweden
is Princess of Baden, and the Queen of
Denmark is sister to the Gcrma n
Crown Princess. but all of these women
have become loyal to their adopted
countries all of which are opposed to
