AGED EMPEROR
 IN PROCLAMATION
FRANZ JOSEF OF AUSTRIA Is- SUES STATEMENT TO PEo.
 PILE OF DUAL MONARCHY.
Royalty Went on a Strike When Not Invited to Attend the Services For the Late Archduke.

Vienna, July 4.-Emperor Francis Joseph in a proclamation to the army and navy today, says:
 "We bow in our grief before the in. scrutible will of the Almighty, who has demanded an immeasurable sac rifice from me, my forces and tha fatherland. Nevertheless. do not abandon hope of a prosperous futurS convinced that in every trial by which we may be visited the nmn archy will find its sure refuge in the devotion even unto death of those Austro-Hungarian forces whose loy- atty cannot be shaken"
 The small number invited to &he funeral of the late Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife in the impe- rial court chapel yesterday, although attributed solely to the limited ac- commodations, gave great umbrage to many uninvted friends of the couple As a protest against their exclusion about 120 members of the noblest families in Austria and Hun gary declined to march in the fu- neral procession from the Hofburg to the railroad station.
 When this was learned today by Prince Montenuovo. chamberlain of the emperor's court, he hastily sum- moned a ministerial council to decide what action should be taken to pre- vent a demonstration but the council decided to do nothing. Consequently when the nobles appeared many wearing their official uniforms, the police made way and allowed thsm to fall in immediately behind sse nurses.
 Those who joined in the protest also resented the discrimination in the court ceremonial against the late duchess of Hohenberg on the ground of unequal birth with the Hapsburgs, whereas they point out she was a member of the ancient Bohemiav family of Chotek, her rank standing similar to their own.
 Emperor Francis Joseph has writ ten to the Austrian and Hungarian premiers, in which he says:
 "If anything can comfort me it is the innumerable proofs of warm af- lection and sincere sympathy which have reached me from all sections of

Peace

If things were right, we'd never
fight to add to our dominions the
dove of peace would never cease
to wave its snowy pinions. We
would abhor the name of war, de-
test the sight of battle; with
=scythe and fail we'd earn the kale
where now the sabers rattle. The
ages scoot, and mans brute, and
culture is a fable, and to our
shame we're much the same as
Cain, who butchered Abel. Our
grace, l fear, is but veneer, and
when you chance to scratch it,
you find a wretch who longs to
fetch you three licks with
hatchet. The lessons dire of ma
tons ire we carelessly are spurn-
ing two thousand years OF blood
and tears, and yet we're nothing
learning! If we were wise we'd all
arise and can the fierce battalions,
so busy now, and to the plow
we'd hitch their paving stations.
1t could be done, peace could be
won, if all would work to gain it,
with voice and pen, again. again,
expound it and explain it. Too
long the harps of poet sharps
have boosted blood and battle,
exalted knights who yearn for
fights. and all that sort of cattle.
Now let US sing of peace, by jing,
of home and happy labor, and let
us show that spade or hoe is
nobler tkan the saber.
