Emperor Francis Joseph
Is "a Years Old TODAY

Emperor Francis Joseph, who is "a
years old to-day has had a life prob
ably as tragic as any that history re-
cords. His wife was assassinated. His
son and heir committed suicide. One
of his daughters quarreled with her
husband, Prince Otto of Windisch-
gratz, and shot and killed his mistress,
an actress. Three attempts have been
made on his own life. Only a few
duke Francis Ferdinand, was assassin
ater and the present war, which has
involved all the leading nations of Eu-
rope, was precipitated.
Francis Joseph has ruled over Aus
trfa-Hungary for siXty-siX years. He
ascended the throne when he was 1S
years old. A few months later Hun
gary revoted, refusing to accept him
as its king, and his reign was launch
ed in warfare, in 1853 he fought a
war with France and most of the
Italian States. Years later he was
forced into the disastrous Seven Weeks
war by Bismarck.
But during his entire reign the EN-
peror has been popular with his peo-
pie. His pleasures have always been
simple. His charities have been
larger than those of anv other mon
arch.
Perhaps there has been no more
marked sign of the esteem and devo-
tion felt toward him by his subjects
than the enthusiasm with which he
was greeted after the declaration of
war against Servia At Ischl, where
he was first seen. the crowds cheered
him uproariously, and when later he
appeared in Vienna his reception by
the people was quite as demonstra-
tive,

Courses Would Cover Practical
Subjects; Reading After
the School

Provided satisfactory arrangements
can be made. Harrisburg may have a
branch of the Wharton School of
versity of Pennsylvania II efforts
started to-day are successful the
branch will be opened in September.
Similar branches last year were es-
tablished in Wilkes Barre and Scran-
ton, and this year the University au-
thorities, in response to an active de-
mand, are seriously considering the
establishment of a branch either in
Reading or Harrisburg. Professors
Pierson and Raine, of the University,
came to Harrisburg to-day to take
up with the University Alumni the
comparative advantages of the two
cities with a view to establish the
branch school in one or the other
of them
Whether or not branch can be
established here will depend en-
tirely upon what action the business
and professional men may take in Of
fering to the University their active
moral support to the project.
Professor Pierson, who is professor
of business law in the Wharton
School, explains that the branch ic
designed to\help out young men who
want to go to college to take up a
financial course, but who cannot afford
1t. The courses which will be taught
are: Accounting, three years: COM
mercial law, three years; finance,
three years, and among others the fol-
lowing additional courses: Real es-
tate, salesmanship, advertising, busi-
ness, English, government control of
industry insurance, etc.

Carfhusian Monks Are
Wearing French Uniforms
By Associated Press

Paris. Aug. IS, 4sO A. M. = The
Eclair states that all the Carthusian
monks of military age who were eX-
PEELED from France at the time the
law restricting religious associations
was adopted have returned to the
barracks at Grenoble and exchanged
the white habit of the Order of
st. Bruno for the uniform of the
French soldier. They were given an
enthusiastic reception by the popu-
lation of Grenoble.
The Servian legation has formally
expressed to Foreign Minister CASTOR
Doumergue the gratitude of the
Servian government for the assistance
received from the republic of France
in the present circumstances.
A dispatch from Marseilles says
wounded soldiers arriving there from
Alsace relate that the Turcos, native
soldiers from the French possessions
in Africa, who made their first appear
ance in the fighting around Muel-
hausen, are the only French troops
clothed in khaki, the color closely re-
sembling that of the German uniform.
The Germans mistook the Turcos for
their own troops until they were close
up and fell on the German entrench-
ment with a wild yell.

If the city decides to obtain the 90
900 yards of earth from the Second
street subway for "fll" along the
river front at all, It will not act def
nitely in the matter before Septem-
ber /.
That W. decided upon at this af-
ternoon's session of Council when city
Commissioners NJ. Harvey Taylor, SUI
perintendent o. parks and public prop
erty, explained to the body that he
had received only one bid for the
hauling of the earth. This was from
Ray l.. Shoemaker, who offered to
transport the earth via the Industrial
railway for fifty-nine cents cubic
yard or by dump-wagon at seventy
five cents.
The contractor however bid on con-
dition that he be guaranteed 10000
yards in such quantities from day to
day as would permit him to complete
the job in hundred days. This
would eliminate Sundays. A proviso
for a penalty of 500 per day for fail
ure to supply the earth on time was
incorporated in Mr.. Shoemaker's bid
Taylor Makes No Suggestion
Under the circumstances Mr.. Taylor
explained that he did not care to make
a recommendation at this time and
khat he wished his fellow councilmen
TO think over the proposition. He
said he had no assurance from Stuck
er Brothers Company, the eXcavating
contractors, that 10000 yards could be
guaranteed.
Since Council will not meet again
until September 1-the meeting of the
Third Class City League will prevent
a session next Tuesday-Mr. Taylor
suggested that action on the bid go
over until that meeting.
The bid explained to Council to-day
was the second for which Mr.. Taylor
had advertised and he said he doubted
If he would re-advertise. He discus
ser with Council the bid of Davis and
Hargest to haul the dirt at seventy
cents per load and of Sucker Brothers
who wanted to do it for seventy
cents

Argentina Plan to Unite
Trade Is Backed by Bank

Philadelphia, Aug. 1S.-Definite
progress was made yesterday in the
development of closer commercial re-
lations between the United States and
South American countries. In the first
place, medium of exchange was ar
ranged between this country and Ar
gentina so that there can be an easy
and quick settlement of bills. In the
second place, both Argentina and
Brazil announced themselves as ready
to send ships to this country ladened
with Latin American products which
they will sell or exchange for Ameri-
can finished products. The arrange
ments for exchange between this
country and Argentina, which is most
important from trading viewpoint, as
Argentina imports almost $500. 000, 900
of products every year. were made by
DR.. R. S. .Naon, Argentine Minister to
this country. The Congress of Argen-
tina passed an act last week authoriz-
ing the Argentine Minister in this
country to act as foreign financial cor
respont for Argentina in stimulating
commercial relations between the two
nations.

German Officer Is
Confident of Victory
For Kaiser's Forces

London, Aug. IS, 4.20 a. ma dis
patch to the Central News from Brus-
sells says a daring newspaperman has
returned to that city after a trip along
the frontier between the armies, dur
ing which he actually spent several
days within the German lines. He
says:
The Germans are bringing up al
most unbelievable numbers of men
and quantities of artillery, horses and
supplies along the entire line from
Luxemberg to the northern limits of
Belgian territory.
Il don't believe the published
stories of atrocities by Germans, as all
Germans whom l met seemed not to
be the sort of men likely to be guilty
of such deeds, although | did not
see them under the nervous tension of
actual lighting.
Most of the German officers are
well satisfied with the progress of
the fighting thus far. One officer
said:
I'VE took Liege in a week when
we thought that It would take three
months. We are now in the heart of
Belgium, within a few thousand yards
of its capital. We will take to Strass-
burg many guns captured with the
greatest ease from the vaunted artil-
lery of France. We can afford to lose
a million men as the price of victory,
but the allies cannot afford to lose
thousands. The perfectly welded
mass of the people of the German
empire is bound to overcome the badly
united troops of the allies.
The newspaperman continued:
The German government has not
quarreled with the United States and
is doing all in it's power to impress
the officials with the necessity of ex-
tending courtesy and facilities to
those Americans who are endeavor-
ing to get out of the country"

remain in Belgium. Travelling facili-
