November 11, 1918
On a day that should be declared a world holiday, according one report, three more German sovereigns have lost their thrones.
An official telegram announces that King Friedrich August of Saxony has been "dethroned," and Dresden is now in the hands of Workman's and Soldiers Council.
The Grand Duke of Oldenburg has also been "dethroned," and the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin has abdicated, according to a report in the Hamburg Nachrichten. Grand Duke Friedrich Franz of Mecklenburg succeeded to the throne in 1901. Since 1904, he has been married to Princess Alexandra of Cumberland.
