ARCHDUKE CHARLES FRANCIS, NEW AUSTRIAN
 HEIR, IS 27 TO-DAY

Thrust suddenly into the Hneligf1s as the result of the grim tragedy at Sarajevo the Archdui1e Charles Fran cis new heir to the Austrian throne,
 has been called upon to face respon- abilities such as no other prince has had to assume on such short notice. The youth who is now next in success sion to the crowns of Austria and Hungary will be ltwenty-seven years old today, having been born at Persen beug on August 1T, 1887. His birthday
 comes just a day before that Of Elm peror Francis Joseph, who will be eigh- ty-four tomorrow.
 Charles Francis Joseph is the eldest son of the Archduke Otto. who was a younger brother of the late F,ranci0
 Ferdinand. His father died in 1906;
 He attended the public schools of vien- no, being the first scion of the Haps-
 burgs to attain such heights of democ- racy, and many of his companions were
 the sons of tradesmen and laborers From the Vienna schools he went to a classical school conducted by the Ben sdfctine monks, where his asso- ciates were largely youths from the also had private tutors at home, and 1 was taught many languages. He is the first Hapsburg to attain profici- ency in the English tongue.
 l After completing his education the Archduke entered the army, and att I in the infantry. It is alleged that the young ArchduEe early became a favor ite of the Emperor ,and it is no secret that the aged ruler had little love for his nephew, Francis Ferdinand. The new heirs mother was Maria.
 Posepha, Princess of Saxony. and she l is still living ip Vienna. He has no sisters and only one brother, MaxiniI- ian Eugen Ludwig, 8 youth of nineteen who has studied law.
 The Archduchess was the Princess | zita of the Bourbon house of Parma
 As usual in such cases, the maria ge
 was described as a. Hove match" The
 wife of the new heir was only sixteen l when she met and conquered Charles l Francis Joseph, and the marriage had 1 the cordial approval of the Emperor 1 The Archduchess has nineteen broth
 CTS and sisters. mostly idiots, but
 zita is described as a woman of "un- usual intellect.''
 Charles Francis Joseph is very
 simple and democratic in his tastes, and enjoys the movies more than l high brow drama or grand opera
 Some years ago, while stationed at 1 erbach-Reichenau. he made his
