speaks German. Hungarian, French,
English and Italian.
The new empress is the thirteenth
of the twenty children of Duke Rob-
ert Of Parma, nine Of them being
sons and eleven daughters.
The villa where the betrothal
took place-Pianoro near here. in
Tuscany--is the last of the late
dukes Italian possessions.
The widowed duchess, Infanta
Marie Antonio of Portugal, was a
great beauty. She was the young
est and handsomest Of the six Bra
ganza sisters, whose brother was
Dom Miguel, the pretender to the
throne of Portugal, and one of
whose nephews, the duke of Vizeu,
married Anita Stewart, of New
York
The match was made by the Arch
duchess Maria Theresa. who was as
III pthtNu. i<ihpNi VI
Francis Joseph's daughter had tried
to catch young Archduke Charles for
her daughter, Archduchess Ella.
Archduchess Maria Theresa and her
sister, the duchess of Parma,
brought Charles and Zita together,
and Cupid did the rest.
Has Faith In America.
In an interview for publication in
America given about year after
the war began the young archduke,
now emperor, said:
81 have confidence that just ma
ton like America Will be just to
Austria-Hungary. believe, too,
that with its traditional love for JUS
tice and fair play it is willing to ex-
anime imparitally the facts and cir
cumstances leading up to this war
and to render verdict in accord
ance with the same.
Austria-Hungary is innocent of
any wish or desire to provoke this
worldwide conflict. Serbia had ev-
cry opportunity to make amends.
We made it plain to the world that
we were not seeking her territory.
We wished TO Pot ass sud, onga. aud
for ali, TO an intolerable meddling
with our domestic affairs.
"If this monarchy had been left
to deal with Serbia alone there
would have been no war and the
matter would have been settled long
ago.
Defends Austria's Position.
Americans have naturally in
quired why it was that Serbia had
recourse to arms in preference to ac-
ceding to demands that were just
and reasonable under the circum-
stances, and which had in view the
safeguarding of elementary national
rights. They have naturally inquir-
ed why it was that Russian forces

friendly advice to Serbia would have
rendered war needless and unneces-
sary. Unfortunately that word Of
good advice was not given, but, on
the contrary, fatal order to mobi-
lie. which has converted Europe
into an armed camp and has
brought untold misery upon both
neutrals and belligerents.
81 wish to state that Austria-Hun-
gary and Germany are today waging
war of defense which they have
striven for years to avert and post
pone.
II wish to state, too. that be-
tween this monarchy and her pow
erful ally there is the utmost har-
mony in all questions affecting the
conduct of the war"

LIVE STOCK REPORT.
'Onditions slightly Better Than Aver
age During Past Year.

Losses Of live stock from disease and
exposure during the last year We're mod
erately smaller than the ten-year aver
age of such losses, and the condition
as 10 health and flesh of animals on
April J was slightly better than averag"
according to estimates based upon re-
ports OF agents and reporters OF tho
bureau OF crop estimates, United States
department of agriculture.
The epidemic of hog cholera seems to
be on the wane; for the total losses Of
hogs from disease last year is estimated
ut &C per cent. of the total supply, as
compared with about 10 per cent. a year
ago, 1l9 per cent. two years ago, ITO
per cent three years ago, 80 per cent
four Years ago, A. per cent. five years
ago, and - per cent, six years ago
The development and decline of the
epidemic may be observed from these
figures During the past year losses
still amounted to or exceeded 10 per cent.
of the supply in Ohio, Indiana. Arkan-
sas, and Florida.
one important reason for smaller los
ses of live stock from exposure is the
increasing practice ON the ranges Of
feeding hay, generally alfalfa, to the
severe and grazing difficult, Stock is
thus kept in better condition, and losses
from exposure become less.
For the entire United States
the losses OF horses and mules
from disease during the past year
are estimated as 1.75 per cent. COM
pared with ten-year average OF l@
per cent of the supply; losses OF cat

ed with the ten year average Of 20l
