NOVEL ACTION IN GERMANY: CURIOUS TALES

SAXON ROYAL HOUSE

A cat may look at a king, and a working man can aue a monarch, it has beon revealed in Berlin. Victor von Horvath is a Berin working man who is at present re- ceiving the unemployment dole.) He has filed a law-suit against ex-

King Frederick Augustus of Saxony, whom he accuses of having usurped the Saxon throne and family heritage of which he is the rightful heir. He declares that he is in a position to bring evidence that he ought to be King of Saxony by right of his descent as a grand- son of King Albert of Saxony and Queen Caroin, who were supposed to have died without issue.

Von Horvath states that his Geza father, a musician, named Horvath, who died in 1921, learn- ed at the age of forty from an old

Hungarian woman of Veszprem, Hungary, whom he had always re- garded as his mother, that she was only his foster mother, and that his two parents were unknown to her. She told him that as a two-weeks- old child he had been placed in her hands by a high official of the Saxon army and a Roman Catholic bishop.

"My father," says Von Horvath, "made searching Inquiries concern. ing his true origin, at the end of which he discovered that Queen Carola was his mother. A secret law of the Saxon Royal House,de. mands that the eldest born son of the Saxon ruler shall be put away in order to avoid compliance with the clause in the will of Queen Eberhardins, who died at the end of the seventeenth century. clause demands that the eldest son of a Saxon ruler shall always be brought up in the Protestant faith. It is a significant fact that since this will became law no son was ever born to a Saxon king during A

his reign.
