EMPEROR FRANCIS " JOSEPH IS DEAD (Continued from Page One) ately and take a firm grip on the con- fused state of aflairs, With the royal funeral rites ob- served, and the new heir, the young Archduke Carl Francis Jossph, recog- nized, the venerable emperor and his advisors turned to Servia with de- mands which startied"all Europe. From the ultimatum of July 23, denouncing the anti-Austrian prosaganda, and de- manding prompt punishment of the assassins of Archduxe Ferdinand, ac- cording ‘o items supposedly dictated by Francis Joseph® himself, practically | dates the war now ravaging Europe.| 1In his manifesto cf July 28, the day of formai declaration of war upon Servia, Francis Josepn said: “The intrigues of & malevolent op- ponent compel me in defense of the honor of my monarchy and for the pro- | tection of its dignity and the security | of its possessions to grasp the sword after long years of peace. | “The hope that Servia would keep its word has mot been fulfilled, the| flame of its hatred for myself and my house has always blazed higher. “In this solemn hour I am fully con- scious of the whole significance of my resolve and my_responsibility before the Almighty. I hLave examined and weighed everything, and with serene conscience set out on the path that duty points.” With the war on, communication with Vienna was practically cut off. Rumers of the emperor’s assassination, or his impendins death from shock over the great war he had ardered, were widely circulated, with denials following. On Aug. 27, when the Germans were moving into’ France, Frarcis Joseph conveyed his greetings to Emperor William in these words: “Victory after victory. Ged is with He will be with us also. I most sincerely congratu'ate you, dear friend, also the young hern, your dear son, the crown prince, and the Prince Rup- precht, as well as the_incomparably brave ‘German army. Words fail to express what moves me and with me, my army, in these days of world's his. toy Clouded in still dceper mystery, if possible, was the discppearance that same year of Fraucis Joseph's favorite nephew, the Archduke Johann Salva- tor. Heir to the throne at the death of Rudolf, he renounced all of his im- perial dignities and fled the country as John Orth, captain of the raerchant ship, never to be heard of again. The next of kin, the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, who became heir presump- tive, added a further burden to Lis uncle’s heart by morganatic marriage to Sophie, the Countess of Chotek, by whom he has had three children, no one of which can succeed to the throne. But it is doubtful if any or all of these reverses weighed more heavily upon the emperor's heart than the zl- most recent {ragedy ai Geneva, when the Empress Elizabsth, who had been called the most hcautiful woman in Europe, was stabbed to death by a mad Itallan anarchist in 1898. True, she long had been estranged from the em- peror, but he had never ceased to re- spect' and adore her. When a courier brought him the news of the crime he exclaimed: “Alas, nothing can be spared me, nothing.” 7 After each blow he renewed his de- votion to tho state. his only solace be- ing in harder work. He labored pro- digiously. He was beloved for his kindliness, his modesty and rectitude, and his hign moral courage made it possible for him to hold in leash the Czechs, the Poles, the Serbs, the Ruthenians and the Bulgars, who made up the mosaic of nationalities in his_dual empire. Gossip dealt plentifully with his pri- vate life, filled with romance and mis- fortune. It is related that his mother intended Fim to marry Princess Hele- na. eldest daughter of Duke Max of Bavaria. With passive indifference the young emperor agrecd to his mother’s Wishes and set out to pay. court to his intended bride.

He learned that sine was Princess Elizabeth, younger sister of his in- tended. He resoivod that Elizabeth should be his bride, and so she became in_1854. In addition to her beauty Elizabeth was highly endowed with talents, but she found no welcome at court. The cmperor’'s mother would hardly coun- tenance the match, and all of the Viennese aristocracy held aloof from her. Elizabeth returned scorn for scorn. Her enemies bore her every tale that could wound her pride and estrange her love. At last they suc- ceeded. In a bufst of pique she fled to her native Bavaria. She came back, but the Viennese never forzave her. They charged her with loving fox- hunting in Ireland better than her duty and preferred to remember her always as the absent wife. The estrangement widened. The emperor was fond of pretty women and, Vienna did not lack them. The empress grew more and more to con- sider herself “a dutiful sovereign lady,” and less and less a wife. The tragic death of her only son drew her nearer to her husband for a while, but there came a succeeding period of stronger repulsion, and thereafter she almost disappeared from the Hof- urg. Fifteen years ago appeared Katha- rina Schratt, formerly of the Imperial theatre. By her tact and wit she suc- ceeded in creating for herself a place below but beside the throne, never ac- corded before her time so openly and so permanently to any woman. Specu- lation as to her relations with the emperor was wide and malicious. Of course it found its way to the em- press, and there followed an incident which testifies to her uncommon deli- cacy and courage. Nettled by the continual humiliation of such distasteful scandal mongering, she devised a way to end it. One day she took her younszest daughter by the hand and, to the Immeasureable astonishment of her guests. set out to pay a long call on Frau Schratt at her country palace in Ischl, where all the world knew the emperor spent hours daily. That ended it effectually. It was impossible to gossip before the empress about a condition which she herself had soctally legalized by her presence. ‘Whatever the truth about Katharina Schratt and the emperor, she had the good sense never to attemnt @ o fluence him politically. Those 0f her predecessors who had _dared more boldly paii the penalty of sudden and noiseless removal from his surround- ings. When, with the assassination of the empress, the court went into mourning, Frau Schratt was seen but little. Shortly, the old intimacy was openly resumed, but it was impossible to continue malignant about a friend- ship that lengthened into old age, and the sting of criticism gradually died out. At Shonbrunn Castle, Frau Schratt appeared nearly every after- noon to keep the emperor company for an hour or two. In turn, he delighted to call on her at her town house as a private gentleman, where he could meet a few friends of his own choos- in Odd Lots or 100 Share Lots.
