AUSTRIA PICKS KING
TO INFLUENCE POLES
Selection Of Archduke Stephan
Is Attempt at Double. Edged
Political Coup.

PETROGRAD. Feb. 13.-Archduke
Karl stephan has been selected kins
Of Poland. and will be crowned at Cra-
COW within the next few days. accord
ing to announcement made here today.
The selection of Archdukc Stephan is
an attempt at a political coup by Aus
tria. and in this respect the move will
prove double-edged. First. 1t Is OBJ
viously aimed against piratical at
tempt credited to the Hohenzollerns Of
capturing another throne. Second. 1t Is
doubtless intended to influence the
Poles in favor of the cause Of Austria.
The selection Of the aspirant to the
non-existent throne seems to have been
directed by the fact that the arch
duke Is allied with the ancient Polish
house of Radziwill.
As to what the German Poles may
think Of the move taken at a moment
when the Russian armies are on the
point Of sweeping into the plains OF
Hungary and with the Austrian cause
already long ago foredoomed. there is
no information here. However. the
Russian Poles estimate at Its proper
value this belated coup. Had Austria
really been generously minded toward
this important section of her Slav sub
jects. 1t might have been a good move
to institute q Polish King six months
ago

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-Feeble protests
filled the air in the receiving room Of
Bellevue Hospital when attendants tried
to separate Edmund O'Halloran. eighty

had never been separated. and that they
