In view of the strong probability OF a

something Of the men in whose hands Aus

Of her armies. One Of her most famous and
Efficient soldiers is Duke ALBRIGHT, who has
served the empire in a military capacity for
more than sixty years, a fact which was not
long ago celebrated by n jubilee. Duke
Albrecht is the son Of the victor of Aspern,
and received his military education under
the SUPERVISION Of his renowned father. AT
the age of II he entered the army, in which
he rose from rank to rank. As early as 1915
he was a commanding general. lie has taken
an important part in many engagements, a.,
for instance, in the battles OF Mortara ana
Novasra. where his action helped gain the
victory for the Austrian arms. The
chief victory Of his life, however, was
that Of Custozza, in 1866, when he signaily
defeated the Italians. The reader VIII re

RELIED 10 fight two enemies at once, the
