ROYAL ENGAGEMENT
RUMOR DENIED

BY united PreSS wire.
Vienna, Sept. ga semi-official
denial was issued today of the rumor
that the Kaisers present visit to Em-
peror Franz Josef has as one of its
objects a marriage arrangement be-
tween Victoria Louise, the Kaiser's
only daughter, and Archduke Kari,
son of the late Archduke Otto. 1t is
explained that an official and formal
denial Is not made for the reason that
1t is not wished to dignity the rumor
Religious differences between the
princess, who was confirmed in the
Lutheran church last year and the
archduke, Catholic, are considered
sufficient to prevent an engagement,
even though reasons of state might
make such marriage desirable.
The princess is eighteen years old
and Archduke Karl twenty-three.
