The real attack on Torreon began
when General Villa occupied Lerdo.

gan an attack on Gomez Palacio. The
three towns are practically one in q
commercial and social sense and are
connected by street railway. Torret

The real test of strength is expected
to come when Villa, after sweeping
these points, hurls his forces against
the defenses of Torreon. On this bat

A Man Of Sorrows.

III the mornings report can be trusted
the aged emperor of Austria lies dying.
Francis Joseph has reigned longer than
any sovereign in history save Louis NV.
of France. The upheayal of lS4S, the
year of revolution in continental Europe,
placed him on the throne of the Haps-
burgs. A conservative by heritage, he
gradually tended toward liberal policy,
which resulted in the transformation Of
the Austrian empire into dual mon
archy having rebellious Hungary as a
coordinate part. His wise moderation
won him the respect of his subjects, di-
vided as they are in race, language, and
temperament, and through all the exter-
nal Ieverses OF his reign, the successful
revolt of his Italian dominions, sum
mary defeat in war with Prussia, he
succeeded in holding together the hetero-
geneous Austro- Hungarian empire.
Difficult as has been his public life,
the woes of his private life have almost
surpa ssed belief. The death by violence
OF his only son, his wife, and the neph
ew that stood next in the line OF sue
cesscn have been only the most eonspic-
nous calamities of his troubled exist
ence. There must be a Spartan indif-
ference to pain or an incomparably vic
torious philosophy in man who can
resist for more than fourscore years
the trials that in ruthless succession
have been the part OF Francis Joseph.
For years he has lived in the conscious
ness that the veneration of his charac-
ter and age inspired has alone kept his
divided empire from at least attempted
He dies in the midst of the
cruelest war of modern times and in
the knowledge that for the delectation
of all history his poor land has had
forced upon it the ignominious role of
cat's-paw. As he faces the ultimate ad-
venture his lips may well form the cyni-
cal words of Louis XIV, drained OF all
but tragedy, "After me the deluge."-
