NOW THE GERMANS LAY
CLAIM TO NAPOLEON, TOO

Amsterdam, May 11.-Having al
ready claimed Shakespeare as a
German, the Berlin newspapers
have now discovered that Napo-
leon Bonaparte was also one of
them. The claim to Napoleon Is
put forward on the authority of a
Prussian anthropologist, Prof. Otto
Tauser, who notes among other
proofs" that Napoleon had blue
eyes and cinder-colored hair, which
are called characteristics of the
German race" Napoleon's patro-
nymic, he adds, was "Cadolinghi,"
taken from the German word Ka-
deling, and his mother belonged to
the Ramolini, which is a debase-
ment of Rammelein, an essentially
German name"
