Treaty of Versailles proved the closing
chapter in the history which began
with Germany's assault on Danish SOW
ereignty and at a time when the little
country confidently had expected Eng
lish assistance against the southern
enemy. This is not the place to dis
cuss the vexed Schleswig- Holstein
question, which gave rise to the first
war between Denmark and Prussia,
which lasted three years and ended
victoriously for the Danes. Important
for the present purpose is mention of
the fact that Prince Christian of
Glucksburg, the father of Princess
Alexandra, by a protocol signed in
London in 1852, was recognized as
heir presumptive to the Danish throne.
"The Danes, who, with this very
contingency in view, had regarded her
marriage to the Prince of Wales with
so much satisfaction" says Mr.. Trow-
bridge, "now counted on her to obtain
the aid of England. In this they were
encouraged by the loudly expressed
popular sympathy with their cause
which had been aroused by the sight
two large ones. Meetings were held
all over England to urge the Govern
ment to take action. The great popu-
larity of the Princess served still
further to strengthen the agitation in
favor of armed Intervention.
'The general opinion on the situa-
ton was amusingly expressed by the
following lines which appeared in
Punch the week after the birth of the
Duke of Clarence:

- REAT events have come to pass
T since Tennyson's famous "Wel-
come" to the Danish Princess
on that memorable wedding morning
of long ago reechoed Throughout the
British Empire to the little country
between the Baltic and the North Sea
from where had come the beautiful
bride of the Prince of Wales No other
honeymoon in history parallels the
journey of Albert and Alexandra as
the whole nation rose and with one
voice proclaimed it's delight because of
the consummation of marriage the
political import of which was seen in
the years to follow.
In the hearts of no people have
the principles of constitutional mon
archy found greater response than
with the British and Danes Demo
cratic prerogatives and royal privileges
blend here into a political whole which
stands reflected in the intimate rela-
tionship between the rulers and the
masses 1t Is this conspicuous fact
which gives such value TO Mr.. Tiow-
bfidge's Queen Alexandra"
1t was Victoria herself who finally
hastened the marriage after the
premature death of the Prince Consort.
In her great sorrow she had
vowed 10 consecrate the remainder of
her life to the memory of her husband,
but as the Prince Consort had been
the first to favor the idea of the Dan
ish marriage, and was actually en-
gagged in realizing 1t when he died, the
Queen, after recovering from the first
shock OF her grief, resolved that his
wishes should be carried out
THE German newspapers" writes
the author of Queen Alexandra"
i"solemnly asserted that 1t had all
along been determined; arranged in
fact, at the time of the wedding of
the Princess Royal with the young
Prince Frederick William of Prussia.
there should be a double marriage
between IHe royal IaInllleS Oh NrTedI
Britain and Hohenzollern."
But In England, on the contrary, the
idea of any German marriage was dis
tinctly unpopular. 1t was. generally
believed that the object of these alli-
ances, of which the Germans had
always been fond was to make the
whole of European royalty one vast
family, the stalk or root of which
should be in Germany. From the sar-
castle comments of the English press
1t was evident that the project, if
really contemplated, would meet with
bitter opposition.
However Queen Victoria may have
looked upon this opposition, she was
far too prudent to make a hasty de-
cision. The dearth of eligible prin-
cesses rendered the choice of a wife
for her son and heir a serious bus
mess. How seriously she regarded 1t
may be judged from the fact that she
gave her daughter a list of the most
suitable and requested her to report
on them personally.
This tour of inspection having
proved fruitless." writes Mr.. Trow-
bridge, "the Princess Royal confided
its secret to her favorite maid of
honor, the Countess Walburga Won
Hohenthal, who was engaged to be
married to Sir August Paget the
British Minister at Copenhagen.
"'My future husband being an Eng
lishman and diplomat she says in

duct in this delicate affair, 1 knew he
would be discreet. and I confided to
