Three aged Scandinavian mon
archs. who kept their nations neu-
trail during the vicissitudes of the
World War, now are face to face
with the grim realities Of war despite
constant efforts to avoid being
drawn into the maelstrom.
King Gustav V Of Sweden, the
Oldest of the three, now nearly 81,
has been on the throne almost 80
years: King Christian X Of Den
mark, nearly 10 years old, has ruled
for %, years and King Haakon VII
of Norway, So, has reigned "a years.
Christian and Haakon are BROTH
ers, sons of King Frederick VIII OF
Denmark
King Gustav became one of the
most democratic monarchs Of Eu-
rope during and after the World
War. When he was crowned King
of Sweden he refused the pomp
with which the ascension is usual
ly attended.
Once Worked as Stevedore.
He once did a days work as
stevedore during a strike at Stock
holm. During his friendly patron
age of the Olympic games he per-
sonally bestowed honors on the WIN
ming athletes. Even in late years,
he was noted as an, excellent ten
mis- player.

When Gustav assumed the throne
in December. 1907. the union of
Norway and Sweden had been dis
solved. The effect Of the crisis was
still being felt in both countries. He
was well-trained for the situation
for, as Crown Prince of both Sweden
and Norway, he had grown up in
both countries.
Gustav is of the Bernadotte line
so-called from one of Napoleon's
marshals-the ruling house Of Swe-
den, which was established in 1918.
In 1881 Gustav married Princess
Victoria of Baden, a greatgrand-
daughter Of one Of the last Vasa
Kings, and a cousin OF the former
Kaiser, Wilhelm. She died in 1880.
Christian Is Ice Yachtsman.
King Christian of Denmark, as
World War sovereign established
the policy which kept his little coun-
try neutral. He mixes freely with
his subjects, without retinue or
bodyguard. His tall, spare, courtly
figure on horseback Is frequent
sight among the crowds.
His family name is Sonderborg
Beck. When he assembled the throne,
following Danish tradition, he
chose the name of Christian. for all

name of Christian and Frederik.

Evidence from quasi -official and

the German movement on Norway

suddenly conceived blow as q plan
designed over several days to cir
cumvent what was ofncially inter-

The presence of German troops
and ships distributed as far north
as Narvik, hundreds Of miles north
Of the nearest German port, so
quickly on the heels of the first an
nouncement Of intent to swing a

Denmark was noted.
To observers this seemed to be
solid evidence that the move was
planned perhaps days-rather than
hours-in advance. The actual oc-
cupation started about "a hours
after the British laid mines at
three points in Norwegian territorial
waters at dawn Monday.

Allied Officials Admit
Balkan Forces InodeouoIfe

1STANBUL, April II R.-Fear
that Germany may move into South
eastern Europe to secure vital oil
and food supplies, freely expressed
throughout the Balkans, was height
ened today by the frank admission
OF numerous British and French OFF,
cials in the Near East that the allied
forces there are powerless-at the
present-to offer effective resistance.
These officials say their army is
far from ready.
These reasons are given here for
the gravity with which the allies
now regard the situation in South
eastern Europe:
/. The British French armies in
the Levant, while strong enough to
defend that region, are not ready to
embark on a major expedition from
their bases.
2. The maximum force which now
can be sent out of Syria, Palestine
and Egypt Is 100000 men, which is
nothing compared to the army Ger
many can throw into the Balkans.
Facilities for transporting an ade-
Quate army into the Balkans and
maintaining flow of supplies are
tar from sufficient.
Air Fleet Too Weak.
3. The allied air fleets in the Near
East are still too weak to cope with
the German air force, which could
destroy possible landing ports while
an expeditionary force was proceed
ing.
Allied military preparations are
being pushed daily and the whole
question Is whether the Nazis will
give the allies all the time they re-
quire to get ready.
The trepidation in the Balkans
was reflected yesterday by Turkish
officials. They said Turkey wants to
call new meeting of the Balkan en-
tente within the next 10 days in
order to line up Rumania, Greece
and Yugoslavia with Turkey on the
side of the allies.
Turkeys Argument.
Germany's Scandinavian invasion,
1t was said. shows clearly the futility
OF small nations trying to be neutral
and justifies Turkeys position, mot
neutral, but merely n-belligerent,' "
as the only Balkan power having a
mutual assistance pact with the
allies.
Up the Danube at Budapest, re-
sponsible sources declared Germany
is expected to send gunboats down
the vital river waterway to protect
her commerce from Sabotage" an
action which would be explained by
the Nazis as necessary to strengthen
local police along the river.
Typical Of the belief throughout
Southeastern Europe that German
action Is possible soon in this ares
was an editorial in the Budapest
newspaper Magyarsag, saying sit is
no longer doubtful that German
action will also extend to the south.
east and all indications point to the
fact that preparations for such &C.
ton already are in full swing"
