is the unconscious heroine of an ex-
traordinary, though bloodless drama
of the European war. The facts
here stated, are ,vouched for by one
Of the ablest Of the newspaper cor
respondents whose duties keep them
near the battle front in Flanders.
Everybody is now familiar with
the manner in which the German
armies took possession of all but a
small corner of Belgium after they
had reduced the strong fortresses of
Iiege, imposing their own military
government upon each town and vii
1age as they captured It. Their i'm
placable reprisals upon Belgian
citizens who threw obstacles In the
way of their progress through the
country and upon those found carry
ing arms, and the occupancy by Ger
man officers of country houses and
chateaux have become history.
1t is the custom OF the Germans
as we'll as of invading armies gener.
ally-to send a cavalry force ahead
to take peaceful possession, if pos
sible, or to prepare for the advance
of a besieging army. It was such
cavalry troop, in charge of Captain
Won Schmitz, that figured in the cor
respondents narrative. The episode
furnishes the only actual news re-
ceived in ten or twelve years con-
corning the woman who was once an
empress and who for half century
has been an insane prisoner Of state.
When Captain Won Schmitz and
his detachment of German cavalry
were approaching the village of
Bouchout in Belgium they came upon
q charming chateau set in the midst
OF stately grounds and gardens. In
the iron grill work at the top of
the great gate closing the main en-
trance to the grounds Captain Won
Schmitz, as he rode up, noticed an
ornament in gilt composed of two
royal crowns. But what most as
tonished the captain was that the
colors flown above the chateau we're
those Of the Austrian Empire-the
dag of Germany's ally In the war.
Captain Won Schmitz had received
no information about royal chateau
in this neighborhood. II the place
belonged to some rich Belgian who
had thought to save it from the Ger
mans by hosting the Austrian flag,
so much the worse for him. Such
piece of impudence merited prompt
punishment!
So the captain gave the handle Of
the gate bell several violent Jerks,
and brought his troopers to halt.
Presently an upper servant, mag
nihcent i red silk livery, appeared.
"Who is the occupant of this
chateau" roared Won SchmitS, "who
has the impudence to fly the Austrian
fag?"

One OF the tiniest and oldest of these books
published in Padua in 1915, is volume OF
letters from the astronomer Calico Measuring
less than three-fourths by one-fourth of an inch.
1t is printed in brilliant, type corresponding
TO the three-point now in USE Another is an
incn-and-a-half copy of Goethe's "Die Leiden des
jungen Werthers," beautifully bound in red and
gold Its 700 pages are less than three-fourths
OF an inch thick, and the type cannot be read
without the strongest magnifying glasses.

How the Austrian Flag FLYNN.
Over a Belgium Chateau
Kept the kaiser's Soldiers
from Disturbing Carlotta in
Her Living Death Which
Has Continued for
Fifty Years

But that Is impossible" protested
the man in red livery. "The Empress
has been an invalid for fifty years.
Her Majesty receives no one, except
her ladies In waiting and her Master
of Ceremonies"
Bring me the Master Of Cere-
monies Immediately" roared the Ger
man officer, believing he was being
trifled with. In few minutes that
functionary presented himself at the
gate. Schmitz beloved at him:
do you know that to hoist the
Austrian flag over this Belgian
chateau is an offense to the German
army? You will have to be punished
for this piece of impudence."
Patiently the competent and polite
Master of Ceremonies repeated the
answer that had been given by the
red-liveried servant-that Her I'm
perial Majesty Empress of Mexico,
for fifty years an invalid, inhabitated
the chateau.
"Donnerwetter!" exploded the Ger
man officer. Does that answer my
question about the Austrian fiag?"
Then the Master of Ceremonies
realized the almost incredible truth
that this German captain, though of
necessity educated in the best Ger
man military schools, was totally

the British Museum, never fails to excite the
nveliest interest at the rare intervals at which
1t is exposed to public view
One OF the most interesting and remarkable
OF all these doll-size books is an exquisitely
Illuminated copy of the Koran in Arabic. Bound
IN soft red leather over which an iridescent
golden glaze has been laid by some process of
the Far East, its tiny octagonal pages measure
only 45x42x1O millimeters. The last dimension
less than one-third of an inch-represents the
thickness, and when it is remembered that the
Koran is about as long as the New Testament
and contains LA chapters, the painstaking skill
which has produced this miniature copy may be
appreciated.

The whole story, familiar to every
American high school boy, the
Master OF Ceremonies told to the
gaping German captain, who without
doubt was hearing it for the first

Empress Carlotta of Mexico at
<o-About the Time of Max
imilian's Coronation.

Mexico was an Austrian-the Arch
duke Macmillan, brother of my
Imperial Master and your Kaiser's
august ally, Emperor Franz josef"
"Ach, sol" But it was SO plain
that the stupid captain was still
suspicious that the Master of Cere-
monies thought it wise then and
there to give him a much-needed
lesson in the history of his own
German-speaking people.
He patiently went over the whole
story, while the German captain
gasped from his saddle. He told of
the studious and dreamy Macmillan,
brother of the Austrian Kaiser,
married to the lovely Carlotta,
daughter of King Leopold of Belgium,
and their half-dozen years of happi-
ness at the castle of Miramar in
Trieste.
Then came Emperor Napoleon ILL.,,
of France, looking for a royal prince
to seat upon the throne of his pro-
jected empire in Mexico. Macmillan
was his ideal future Emperor of
Mexico, and now was the time to
make the grand coup-when Juarez
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1914-12-13

was unable to unite the Mexican
factions, and when the Government
of the. United States of America was
too busy with its own Civil War to
even threaten Napoleon III. with the
Monroe Doctrine.
France would furnish the in
vading army to keep the native
IMexicans in order while Macmillan
should seat himself firmly on the
throne of a great Western Empire
that would be twin sister to that
ruled by Napoleon III.

ignorant about one of the most tragic
episodes in the history of German
speaking royalty. But he was too
polite, and too polite, to offend the
officer of an invading army with
sarcasm.
